What was shocking was that the rifle bullets that hit the sunfish's head, although causing quite visible wounds, seemed not to be fatal.
The injured sunfish immediately changed direction, swiftly swimming toward the small fishing boat.
Such an unforeseen event left the people on the ship both alarmed and relieved.
They were relieved because their yacht was no longer the target of the terrifying big fish, significantly increasing their chances of survival.
But they were alarmed to find that the fish seemed impervious to bullets.
In their past understanding, there were no creatures on Earth that weren't afraid of firearms, not even the largest land animal, the elephant, could withstand a shotgun's blast.
At the same time, they couldn't help but feel some pity for the young man's imminent tragic fate.
Just moments ago, they were discussing not to warn him, letting him attract the big fish's attention.
