Chapter 1159 — You Are a Brave Man
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Huh? Why me?" Su Taizao pointed at himself and asked, somewhat aggrieved.
"If not you, then me?" An Liwen glared at him. "Hurry up, don't hold up my shark fight!"
"All right..." Su Taizao gritted his teeth and went off to cut his finger.
But this time An Liwen had miscalculated, because he understood nothing about the nature of sharks. Otherwise he could never have said such a foolish thing at the dinner table as smashing a shark's teeth with one punch!
If you drip a single drop of blood into the ocean, a shark can smell it from a quarter of a mile away.
Sharks are extraordinarily sensitive to scent in seawater, especially the smell of blood. The low-frequency vibrations of a sick or injured fish swimming erratically, or a small amount of bleeding, can summon them from far off. Their sense of smell even surpasses that of a land dog.
It can smell blood and flesh at a concentration of one part per million in the water. That is to say, a shark's olfactory organs can detect a single drop of blood in a million drops of seawater!
In a shark one meter long, the area of the nasal cavity packed with olfactory nerve endings can reach 4,842 square centimeters. A man-eating shark five to seven meters long can smell the blood of a wounded person or marine animal from several kilometers away.
And Su Taizao had shed far more than one drop, several drops in fact. If there were any sharks nearby, it would have been a wonder if they were not drawn over!
"Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, Yunyun, Xiaoxiao, let's go ashore. What if a shark comes in a moment?" Wei Zhao knew this much, and knew that what Su Taizao was doing would very likely attract sharks, so he made preparations in advance to have them go ashore and take shelter.
Otherwise, if the sharks really came, how could Wei Zhao alone protect four people at once? They must not be caught off guard!
Seeing how serious Wei Zhao was, the young lady said nothing more. She nodded and said, "All right, Xiaoshu, let's go up and rest a while. Good chance to soak up some sun!"
As for Tang Zhi and Feng Xiaoxiao, they naturally obeyed Wei Zhao. If Wei Zhao told them to go ashore, he had his reasons.
"Fine by me. A terrifying creature like a shark can only be fought by a brave man!" An Liwen was rather surprised by Wei Zhao's cowardice, but the more cowardly Wei Zhao was, the happier An Liwen became. Only Wei Zhao's cowardice could set off his own heroism!
Wei Zhao smiled faintly and said nothing more. If An Liwen wanted to play the fool, let him. Once the shark really was lured over, he would learn what fear meant.
"Yes, yes, none of us are a match for a shark!" Shen Yushu did not know what Wei Zhao meant either, but she too felt that Wei Zhao had his reasons, so she cooperated with him to the utmost.
