One day in June 2011, several sailing ships set sail from the Malaysian island of Doyle and sailed to the Sulawesi Sea. The sturdy captain stood on the high tower of the command ship and looked into the distance. His name is Ubandas and he is 56 years old this year. Ubandas has been through the wind and waves for a long time and is good at catching the "swordsman" long-nosed fish in the sea. He is a famous hero on Doyle Island. The dozen or so crew members under him are all young men with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. Today they went out to sea just to catch a few long-nosed fish...

  Ubandas set up a pergola on the tower, searching for the target with eyes as sharp as eagles. At this time, the seabirds circled five or six meters above the sea, and suddenly, snow-white waves rose from the sea, and it turned out to be a long-nosed fish jumping out of the water like lightning. The long kiss of the long-nosed fish was like a sharp sword, penetrating the seabird's body agilely, and fell into the water with a "plop", which was so fast that no one could see clearly.

  Ubandas and the crew were stunned. After a long time, Ubandas decisively gave the order to get off the net. The crew acted quickly and immediately released a large net, which caught the long-nosed fish just now. The crew cheered together.

  The body of the long-nosed fish is seven or eight meters long. It struggled desperately in the net, churning frantically, and finally tore open the fishing net and broke free. However, it did not escape, but plunged furiously into the bottom of the boat. A kiss of more than one meter pierced a hole as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the sea water suddenly poured into the cabin. A crew member rushed forward to plug the hole desperately, but was washed down by the water column, and another crew member rushed forward, but failed to block the sea water. At this time, another long-nosed fish drilled out of nowhere, stabbing a big hole in the hull. After a while, the cabin was filled with sea water, and the ship began to sink, and the crew panicked and looked pale.

  The two fishing boats next to them found Ubandas and they were in distress and hurried to help. Soon, Ubandas and the others successfully climbed onto the fishing boat next to them, turned their heads to see that their sailboat had been overturned by two furious long-nosed fish, like a shell upside down on the sea, if they were not rescued in time, their consequences are unimaginable...

  Soul to the sea

  Ubandas and his crew did not catch snout fish and lost a sailboat, which was a shame for the fishermen. Ubandas stayed at home for a few days without going out, drinking alone. His beloved daughter Sini comforted him and said, "Dad, you should be glad that everyone saved their lives! As long as people live, there will be opportunities in the future!"

  Several of Ubandas' crew members also came to visit him. But Ubandas could see that the lads were secretly in love with his precious daughter. Indeed, Sydney was very likable, a beauty recognized by the villagers on the island. She felt good about her father's lads, but she couldn't make up her mind which of them to marry.

  Ubandas promised his daughter that he would find her a "Prince Charming". Then, he solemnly explained to several young men that whoever could catch a long-nosed fish single-handedly first would marry his daughter!

  For the fishermen of Doyle Island, it was as difficult and dangerous as a hunter catching the tiger, the king of beasts, to catch the "swordsman" long-nosed fish in the sea. Ubandas' request was really inhumane, but he wanted to use this method to determine who was the real man!

  Several young men quietly went out to sea, and they all prayed silently, please God bless, let themselves catch the snout fish first and marry Sydney.

  The weather was surprisingly good this day, and the Sulawesi Sea was calm, gleaming with dazzling waves like a mirror. A young man named Tysentel sailed out to sea alone. He sat on the bow of the boat, his eyes staring at the floating water, which is a water area frequented by long-nosed fish. After a while, he found that a companion named Baden Mochi was also setting the net in front of him, and both of them tacitly and secretly competed...

  Tysentel suddenly noticed that Floating had moved slightly, thinking that the long-nosed fish had taken the bait. He stood up "teng" and looked closely through the clear sea water, and found that it was a small sailfish less than one meter. Tysentel scolded: "I wasted my bait in vain." Suddenly, Floating moved violently again, and then the sea boiled like a pot, and Tysentel shouted ecstatically: "The long-nosed fish is hooked!"

  The bait hanging on the hook is a squid weighing several catties, which is the favorite food of long-nosed fish. The long-nosed fish greedily swallowed the delicious squid and wanted to leave, but the sharp hook had already plunged into its mouth. The long-nosed fish was angry and struggled frantically. The crescent-shaped tail slapped the sea hard, crackling earthquakes, and waves splashed everywhere.

  Tysentle hurriedly threw the sharp harpoon in his hand, and the harpoon flew into the air and plunged into the back of the long-nosed fish with a "whoosh", and the long wooden handle was still shaking. Tysentle gripped the rope behind the wooden handle and dragged the long-nosed fish hard. Suddenly, the long-nosed fish jumped out of the water suddenly. Tysentle on the boat had no time to loosen the rope in his hand, and his body flew into the air with the long-nosed fish. He instinctively shouted: "Help!"

  Baden Mochi over there witnessed this thrilling scene. He didn't care to close the net, and hurriedly rowed a boat to rescue him. Although they were rivals in love, they were good brothers at sea, and he couldn't stand idly by!

The long-nosed fish broke free from the hook, and with a "bang", it took Tysentle into the sea again. But Tysentle didn't let go of the rope in his hand. He didn't want the long-nosed fish to escape. For the girl in his heart, he had forgotten his dangerous situation. Badenmochi shouted loudly: "Hey, let go, avoid, danger!"

  The long-nosed fish faced Tyson Tel, its eyes flashed aggressively, and it swung violently, trying to get rid of the harpoon on its back, but the harpoon seemed to dig deeper and deeper. The long-nosed fish whistled with a long sharp kiss and stabbed Tyson Tel. Tyson Tel shrewdly avoided, and the long-nosed fish's tail swept across his face again, "Bah", Tyson Tel was hit., his eyes were shining straight, and his head became heavy.

  Badenmochi rushed over and threw the harpoon "whoosh", but unfortunately he didn't hit the long-nosed fish. Seeing that Tysentle's life was in danger, he was in a hurry, but he was helpless. At this time, Tysentle was already exhausted, and he loosened the rope in his hand at some point, and the long-nosed fish rolled in the sea like a wild horse that had escaped the reins. It stuck out a long kiss and "puff", stabbed Tysentle's chest, then provoked Tysentle, chopped the waves, and rushed forward a few hundred meters quickly. Tysentle struggled and screamed, "Help!" " My brother... "Badenmochi cried and chased after him.

  The long-nosed fish stopped and threw Tysentle into the sea, and then its fangs and sharp teeth mercilessly ripped open Tysentle's belly...

  Brave man

  Die before you get started. Tysentel was buried in the belly of the fish, and Ubandas and Sini were distraught. Still, the tragedy did not deter the boys, and they continued to row out to sea to hunt for the long-nosed fish. Rather than fighting for love, it was to show the world that they were heroes who conquered the long-nosed fish.

  On this day, American oceanographer Carlo Hole was investigating marine life in the Sulawesi Ocean. The research boat he was on began to dive slowly. Suddenly, there was a dull crash from the outside of the submarine, and the hull immediately shook violently. Carlo Hole and a few assistants were unsteady and staggered.

  Carlo Horai calmly said to his assistant, "Don't panic!" He looked out the porthole and saw a huge aquatic creature clinging to the hull of the boat. It turned out to be the ghost!

  At this time, water began to seep in the sealed cabin, and the situation was very dangerous. The captain decisively ordered the submarine to float urgently. When the submarine was exposed to the sea, they realized that the uninvited guest was the "Swordsman" long-nosed fish among the marine creatures. Its long kiss has pierced into the hull.

  Why does the long-nosed fish have such amazing power? It turned out that its muscles are developed, and it is difficult to chop its body with a sharp axe at once. In addition, the cartilage disc between its vertebrae is extremely elastic and can act as a buffer when its body hits. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the long-nosed fish is as fast as lightning at the moment of attack.

  Just when the deep-sea research boat was trapped, Baden Mochi happened to be rowing over. He had not found any trace of the long-nosed fish at sea for a long time, and he was anxious. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was very excited, and he rowed over with all his strength, throwing the harpoon in his hand "swoosh", and the harpoon was accurately pierced. On the head of the long-nosed fish, it was so painful that it was thrown violently, only to hear a "click", its long kiss was broken, and the people in the submarine cheered.

  The long-nosed fish lost its powerful weapon, but it still rushed towards Baden Mochi frantically. Baden Mochi was not afraid, rushed forward, "swiped" the special net, and caught it all at once. No matter how hard it struggled this time, it couldn't tear the net apart.

  The long-nosed fish was mortally injured just now, and blood spewed out of its head, staining the sea water red. After a while, it floated on the water and didn't move, its snow-white abdomen gleaming. Baden Mochi cheered happily: "Sydney, I caught a big long-nosed fish!"

  Baden Mochi was the first person to present a long-nosed fish weighing more than 800 kilograms to Sini. Sini hugged Baden Mochi tightly with excitement and said, "I love you, Doyle The bravest man on the island!
