Chapter 567: Chapter 249: Rainforest Scenery

"You make sense, live streaming really isn’t suitable. My viewers, you’ve seen the fish weighing, so we’ll stop here for today, see you tomorrow!"

After ending the live stream, Lin Yang didn’t rush to retract the drone, but continued to speak to Sun Zheng, "Go tell Tataro that I’m very interested in their local ceremonies and would like to film some video material to see if they’d agree."

As the translator, Sun Zheng naturally had no reason to refuse and quickly found Tataro to talk about filming the ceremony.

Without mentioning it, Tataro directly called over two sturdy indigenous women, pulling Lin Yang into the crowd that was cheering and celebrating.

One of the kids even put a straw hat made from an unknown plant on Lin Yang’s head.

During the ensuing ceremony, Lin Yang somewhat confusedly became one of the participants. The crowd lit a dazzling bonfire and sang and danced around it, keeping it up for a long while before the ceremony finally concluded.

When the ceremony ended, the oldest native, wielding a knife similar to a pig-slaughtering blade, unceremoniously stabbed the forehead of the catfish.

The blade pierced the brain, and the big fish quickly became motionless, while Tataro, taking the bloody knife, smeared the blood on Lin Yang’s forehead.

Lin Yang only felt a slight chill on his forehead, and a stench of blood drifted to his nose.

The many tribespeople, who had stopped the ceremony, again started shouting excitedly and dancing around the fire pit.

After slaughtering the catfish, the subsequent tasks became somewhat gory.

The older native, much like a farmer butchering a pig back home, cleaned out the big catfish’s innards and then cut the fish meat into pieces of various sizes.

Every household in the village got their share of the meat.

The large catfish was carved up within an hour, leaving only a flat and large fish head.

During this process, Lin Yang fully demonstrated the professional quality of a media person.

Regardless of how much footage could be used for later editing, he shot from all angles comprehensively, capturing everything until he was busy till 3:30 in the morning. Only then did he return to where he was staying to wash up and rest.

The effort of capturing the fish had drained a lot of Lin Yang’s energy, and having stayed up half the night, he slept very deeply, not even hearing the various bird and monkey calls that arose just before dawn.

When Yue’er woke him up, it was already 10 in the morning.

"Brother Yang, you’re awake, are you hungry? They said you slept late, so I didn’t call you for breakfast." Yue’er brought him a cup of hot water as she noticed Lin Yang waking up.

Lin Yang sat up from the bed, stretched lazily, and said in a very pleased tone, "I slept so well!"

"I heard you caught a fish that weighed over 500 pounds? I was too sleepy last night and went to bed early."

Lin Yang said with a smile, "Not only did I catch a big fish, but I also took part in their indigenous tribal ceremony. I was busy until after three in the morning before I got to sleep."

Right over there by the space near the window, there was singing and dancing, and I caught it all on film. You can watch it if you’re free," he added.

"Really? I must take a good look." Hearing this, Yue’er immediately started fussing with the drone equipment.

When she fast-forwarded to the part showing the enormous catfish that was even bigger than a fat pig, her pretty eyes widened in obvious shock.

"Wow, this catfish is huge, almost as big as that big bluefin we saw before!" she exclaimed.

"Compared to the bluefin, it’s actually much smaller, but because it’s flatter, it appears bigger. This big fish was rumored to have possibly attacked a child in the tribe, so they killed it last night and then divided it up," he explained.

After Yue’er heard this, she scrolled the progress bar forward to the parts where the catfish was butchered and shared, and again burst out in exclamations.

After chatting for a while, it was time for lunch.

Seeing that the lunch included meat from the catfish, Lin Yang and Yue’er shared a look and taciously avoided it, leaving it for the local guards and others hired by them to eat.

Having documented the tank duckbill catfish, Lin Yang’s trip objectives were nearly all accomplished.

The Amazon River in the rainforest is home to thousands of fish species, but only so many are suitable for challenging captures and filming material.

Thus, Lin Yang’s fishing expedition was also nearing its end.

After lunch, he found Sun Zheng for a brief chat. Through the conversation, he learned that aside from a few classic fishing spots, further downstream in a tributary-formed gorge was worth visiting.

It was said that in the downstream gorge one could see various local birds, parrots, monkeys, and even the legendary socialite of the animal world, the capybara, along with other Amazon Rainforest-special creatures.

Compared to a fishing trip, this type of excursion akin to visiting a natural park was less interesting to Lin Yang.

However, upon hearing she could see parrots and capybaras, Yue’er showed remarkable interest.

As a young girl who had traveled thousands of miles with Lin Yang to the Amazon Rainforest for fishing and filming, she had mostly been a spectator or lightly involved most of the time.

Now that she had finally found something of interest, Lin Yang naturally had no reason to refuse.

Seeing her interest, Lin Yang decisively scheduled the next day’s trip to visit the downstream gorge.

...

The next morning, just as the day was breaking, Lin Yang and Yue’er got up.
