Cultivating through increasing my stats in America Chapter 426 - 254: The Moment of the Hunt

Had it been on land, Li Ang would have certainly sighed a long sigh of relief, but now he was tens of ters deep underwater.

It was not yet ti to relax, he still needed to quickly retrieve the [Psychic Crystal] from inside the fish’s belly.

However, having calculated the ti he could continue holding his breath at this depth, and having glanced once more at the massive sunfish carcass, Li Ang decided it would be easier to drag the body to the surface and search there.

On land, faced with a sunfish weighing over ten tons and being incredibly large, Li Ang might have been at a loss for what to do for a while, but underwater, buoyancy significantly reduced its effective weight, and the strength required was not too much.

Li Ang fluttered his flippers, quickly ascending with the truck-sized sunfish carcass, and soon reached the surface.

For the average person, ascending this quickly would be unthinkable. The human body, moving from deep to shallow water, experiences a rapid decompression that causes oversaturated nitrogen to beco dangerously unsaturated.

This could form bubbles within the body, causing compression, blockages, and other symptoms, which in severe cases could lead to disability or death—this is the decompression sickness that divers dread.

But for Li Ang’s body, this change in pressure was hardly a concern, as his body could regulate itself completely.

...

"It has been about ten minutes, hasn’t it? There’s still no sign on the surface, it looks like he’s gone."

"With this much ti, even if the fish hadn’t eaten him, he’s likely drowned by now. What a pity!"

"Indeed, if he hadn’t drawn the monster’s attention, we might not have been able to safely reach the island."

Once the yacht had safely docked, and the people confird they were completely safe, they finally found the heart to start feeling sympathy for Li Ang.

Under those circumstances, if the yacht had really been sunk by the giant sunfish, it was doubtful that even a third of the many passengers would have survived.

Alia didn’t disembark, but just sat quietly on the deck, her gaze fixed on the spot where Li Ang had followed the giant sunfish down to the seabed.

Although she knew rationally that the brave man was unlikely to return, she couldn’t help but keep watching.

Maybe it was an illusion, but she suddenly noticed a small black dot erging far out on the sea surface, no, it was one small black dot accompanied by an even smaller dot.

When the two spots drew closer, she realized with astonishnt that it was the very giant sunfish that had nearly killed them all.

And in front of the sunfish, the smaller dot was a human, swimming vigorously in the sea.

He really ca back? Was he being chased by the monster? But it didn’t seem like it.

Alia didn’t have ti to think too much; she hurriedly ran to the yacht’s cockpit to inform the captain and the crew mbers.

If there was anyone who was most grateful to Li Ang on the yacht, it was undoubtedly the captain.

Although the incident was an accident, he had to bear the major responsibility. If it hadn’t been for Li Ang’s tily intervention, drawing the monster away, his fate would have been death at sea or imprisonnt; the best outco would have been bankruptcy.

As soon as the captain, who was drinking water, received the news, he dashed to the deck without even screwing on the bottle cap to confirm the situation.

He was initially startled to see Li Ang followed by the giant sunfish, but he quickly sensed sothing amiss.

"Quick, give the binoculars!"

The captain, after receiving the binoculars, could finally see the situation clear.

"He’s not being pursued, rather, he’s dragging the carcass of the giant sunfish and swimming this way. Good Lord! How did he accomplish that?"

He was unable to express the astonishnt he felt inside. A man dragging a fish comparable to the size of a truck through the seawater was an image he would never forget.

What he was even more curious about was how this formidable man had managed to deal with such a large fish underwater.

After seeing this, those around him, one after the other, fought to take a look through the binoculars and each let out exclamations of amazent.

"Stop looking and co help . Let’s use the lifeboat to bring in this brave man."

It wasn’t until they approached the giant sunfish that they truly perceived its imnse size.

"Brother, I’m really curious, how on earth did you kill it?"

"With a giant sunfish like this, considering the thickness of its skull, it shouldn’t be penetrated by bullets, right?"

The people who ca to support Li Ang were like eting an idol, curiously inquiring.

"Actually, it wasn’t too difficult. I carved a hole in its body with a harpoon and then threw a high-explosive grenade into it, and it was dealt with."

Li Ang spoke plainly, but it was clear that each step must have been trendously difficult to accomplish.

Li Ang reached the beach without removing his hood. This incident involved the [Psychic Crystal], so it was best to keep his identity concealed.

Otherwise, if he were exposed this ti, the [Unknown] organization would quickly be able to associate him with the incident that happened in Africa the last ti.

Seeing Li Ang’s conduct, they also understood that this brave man didn’t wish to reveal his identity and sensibly refrained from probing further.
