Chapter 546: Chapter 243: Vampire Fish_4

"Understood, where’s the next spot? What kind of fish are we going for?" Lin Yang didn’t rush to refuse, but instead asked another question.

Sun Zheng’s explanation to Baom made sense. The journey was long, and since they had already arrived, switching to a different location seemed like a decent choice.

"It’s a section upstream on the main channel of the Black River, targeting giant bone tongue fish! There are also some spots in the main channel where the water level is low, and Baom knows two great spots for catching giant bone tongue fish."

Moreover, the habits of the giant bone tongue fish are different from many other fish; they prefer to feed and swim during the warmer parts of the day. To find them, one needs the ample experience of a fish hunter, especially when they come up to breathe through their nostrils. That’s when they’re easier to spot."

Upon hearing the term ’giant bone tongue fish,’ Lin Yang finally reacted.

The giant bone tongue fish is a star species of the Amazon Rainforest, on par with the Satan duckbill catfish, known as the freshwater titans of the Amazon Basin.

These creatures can grow up to several hundred pounds, truly massive. For Lin Yang’s trip to the Amazon, the giant bone tongue fish was a must-see species.

However, compared to the densities of other fish species, the giant bone tongue fish are much scarcer. They boast delicious flesh and large size, are easy to catch, and their skin can be made into sturdy Scale Armor, making them a fish species with very high economic value.

In fact, these fish used to be quite common in the Amazon Rainforest historically, before their numbers declined sharply due to extensive hunting.

And like Snaggletooth, current Brazilian law protects the giant bone tongue fish. Fishing is permitted, but any caught must be released, and killing or casual trade is strictly forbidden.

"Yue’er, can you keep going to the next spot? The temperature’s getting a bit high, and I’m worried you might get a heatstroke," Lin Yang said, not rushing to make a decision but turning to check on Yue’er.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. I work out regularly, so I’m in pretty good shape. I can handle a little heat," she assured.

Yue’er then struck a bodybuilding pose with her fist clenched and bicep flexed, her slim arms looking delicate.

"Alright, let’s rest for ten minutes, and then we’ll head back to the giant bone tongue fish spot that Baom mentioned."

Having made their decision, everyone found a temporary resting spot in the shade by the water. After a brief break, they walked back with their catches of Silver Dragon Fish.

The route was the same one they had taken to come, but after a few hours of activity, their physical condition was somewhat affected, so the speed of their return was slightly slower.

By contrast, Baom and the other two local hired guards exhibited far greater stamina than Lin Yang and his companions.

Barefoot and leading the way in the shallows along the bank, they showed no sign of fatigue, their dark skin glistening in the sunlight, and their lean, muscular figures exuded a wild vitality.

They weren’t actually stronger than Lin Yang and his companions; it was just that the locals were completely acclimatized to the climate and the environment here.

At that moment, Lin Yang and the others were like polar bears at the equator: mighty but visibly exhausted.

Of course, this was just an exaggerated metaphor. Aside from being a bit sunburnt, Lin Yang didn’t feel particularly tired or unwell.

In just over forty minutes, the group returned to where they had docked their fishing boat.

They boarded the boat, reversing direction at a fork in the river a few hundred meters back, heading towards the main channel of the Black River.

It was now just after nine in the morning. According to Sun Zheng, it would take another forty or fifty minutes to travel. By the time they reached the next spot, it would be nearly eleven.

Therefore, they wouldn’t be able to return to the camp for lunch today, and they’d have to make do outdoors.

But these issues were all anticipated by Lin Yang and his team, so it wasn’t much of a problem. It was, in fact, a good opportunity to live broadcast how the natives survive in the wild. Aside from a simple iron pot, they hadn’t brought much in the way of cooking equipment.
