"We got the video footage, which was the goal! This type of fish is extremely rare worldwide, let's release it back! Although the hook is sharp, it didn't hit any vital organs, so it should survive if we put it back!"
"Okay, I'll handle the release!" Yue Feng was eager for the system rewards, so he took on the task with gusto.
"Okay!" Professor Zhang agreed readily.
With permission granted, Yue Feng and another young man together carried the fish to the water's edge, slowly moistening it by splashing water to keep the fish wet, then they slid it into the water.
The violent struggling and dragging had completely drained the big fellow's energy; it floated motionless on the surface, appearing as if it were dead.
Yue Feng had the passive skill Fisherman's Compassion, which gave him absolute experience in releasing fish. The fish's vital signs were still present; it was just excessively weak.
