Chapter 554: Chapter 245: Giant Bone Tongue Fish_4

....

The fishhook was successfully removed; the next step was the highly awaited final release phase.

The giant bone tongue fish is different from ordinary freshwater fish, as they are an ancient species capable of breathing through their mouths, making the release process much easier.

Lin Yang simply straightened it up and soaked it in the water for a few minutes to slightly recover its strength, and then he slowly let go.

The next second, the giant bone tongue fish, with its brilliantly red patterned body, waved its fan-like caudal fin and quickly swam towards the depths, disappearing from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.

"Phew, successful release, today’s challenge is completed, giant bone tongue fish unlocked." Watching the big fish swim to deeper water, Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly climbed onto the boat.

He also took this opportunity to sneak a peek at the rewards from the unlocked illustrations.

It was still monetary and points experience rewards, but the special reward at the end caught him by surprise.

"Survival skills in the wild?" Seeing this special ability rewarded by the Golden Finger, Lin Yang was momentarily stunned, but he quickly came around.

Fishing is also considered an outdoor sport, especially wild fishing, so rewarding some wilderness survival knowledge and skills seemed plausible, especially as they were currently in the Amazon Rainforest, where this skill seemed somewhat useful.

On the wooden boat, as the excitement of the struggle with the fish gradually faded, Lin Yang felt the inexorable exhaustion slowly creeping up on him, and he didn’t even want to move his arms anymore.

"Keep going, brother, it’s still early before dark, fish a bit more, even catching small fish is fine."

"That’s right, even catching small fish is fine, everyone loves to watch, don’t end the stream too quickly."

Many viewers were leaving comments, but Lin Yang simply didn’t have the energy to continue streaming.

Several hours of intense fishing like an Ironman had already drained his energy reserves, and while adrenaline kept him going during the excitement, once he relaxed, he felt almost faint.

Wiping the sweat from his face, he said, "I really can’t do any more, I’m feeling drained, my hands are shaking a bit, we plan to head back to camp for some rest. Brother Sun, could you tell Baom we should head back for some rest? I’m worried being too drained could affect the fishing later on."

Sun Zheng nodded, "Okay, let’s head back."

....

The reality proved that people often have a biased understanding of their body’s condition.

Lin Yang thought he could recover with a bit of rest, but once he was back at the camp, he found his condition was much more serious than he had anticipated.

Right arm, abdomen, lower back, oblique shoulder muscles—the entire upper body’s core muscle group was strained to varying degrees. He didn’t rest long after getting back to his room before he began to feel swelling and pain.

If this happened in a high-standard gym in his own country, it would be easy to relieve: ice packs + professional massage therapy + professional medication supplements could greatly alleviate the condition in no more than a day or two.

But at the camp in the Amazon Rainforest, it wasn’t so simple; he could only use towels soaked in cold water to cool down, then try to rehabilitate with self-taught techniques, which busied Yue’er quite a bit.

Over the next two days, Lin Yang stayed in the camp, went nowhere, and the pain and damage to his muscles gradually eased and disappeared, eventually getting through the toughest times.

In addition to two days of rest, six days had unwittingly passed in the Amazon, and Sun Zheng would keep him company with chats, also reminding him that in a few days there might be a long stretch of heavy rain. This signified that Lin Yang’s subsequent schedule was getting a bit tight.

Following Sun Zheng’s reminder, on the third day of rest, Lin Yang decided to continue with the planned fish species challenges.

His physical condition was robust, and after two days of good rest, he had almost completely recovered.

His next target species was the one they were most looking forward to before coming to the Amazon Rainforest, the legendary tank duckbill catfish.
