Chapter 453 Killer Whale Gives a Gift

As the three large ships started moving, they all began trawling operations.

Normally, the afternoon round of trawling has been completed, and the fish on the deck alone are enough to keep the crew busy until dark, so they usually won't start trawling after around six in the afternoon, and are happy to just sort out the fish in the afternoon's net.

But now that we have to continue sailing on the sea, we might as well lower the net and tug the fish while sailing, as long as we maintain a speed suitable for trawling operations.

The killer whale was swimming in front at a moderate pace, like a guide, and showed no signs of abandoning them and swimming away suddenly.

This is even more obvious, it seems that they are really being taken somewhere.

I followed it for more than an hour, and the sky over the sea gradually darkened until the night fell from above. Finally, the killer whale stopped swimming forward and stopped, slapping the water with its tail fin, and its head still made obscure sounds.

"A cluster of reefs? Why did you bring us here?" Lin Baixian asked curiously.

Liang Ziqiang said nothing and looked towards the cluster of reefs that appeared in front of the fleet.

It should be the most common reef that they usually see at sea, with a medium area, gray-black stones, many holes, and nothing special about the distribution and shape of the reef clusters.

It's not even an island, there are too many reefs like this in the sea. Did the killer whale go to such great lengths just to show them this? Or was it that the killer whale was just swimming around and had no intention of leading them here, and they misunderstood the killer whale's intentions?

Anyway, Liang Ziqiang felt that it was a bit of a waste of fuel, as they had been driving for more than an hour! At this moment, the lights of the three ships were also turned on. In the sea illuminated by the lights, a huge figure suddenly seemed to sway and pass by.

"There's a big fish. What kind of fish is this? It seems there's more than one! Did they bring us here just to catch bluefin tuna?!"

Lin Baixian screamed.

Although the figure swaying in the water is still small compared to the huge body of a killer whale, it is definitely a big guy among ordinary marine fish.

Since he had just missed a valuable bluefin tuna weighing over 200 kilograms, Lin Baixian's first thought at this moment was the bluefin tuna.

“Flashlight, flashlight!”

Liang Ziqiang quickly took out a flashlight, and Li Liang and the others also found a flashlight and shone it at the figure in the water.

Several of the flashlights were suitable for fishing at sea. The light beams were very bright. With several more flashlights shining at the water surface at the same time, the place was instantly illuminated like a small piece of daylight in the entire darkness.

"Look at the spots on its body, and that head, and that appearance. Damn, this is not an ordinary sea fish. This is a grouper?!"

After Li Liang saw clearly, his voice was no louder than Lin Baixian's.

When the beams of light gathered, Liang Ziqiang also saw it clearly.

It’s really grouper!

It has an oblong body shape, a darker color, and is covered with black spots.

Liang Ziqiang had encountered and fished for many groupers on Wuming Island before, including blue grouper, brown band, honeycomb, tiger grouper, and even eastern star grouper.

Recently, grouper has been farmed and there are many varieties.

So he was really familiar with grouper, and those characteristics could be recognized at a glance.

However, at this moment, in addition to familiarity, he felt more of a sense of strangeness.

Although its appearance and body color are those of a grouper, its huge size makes people confused, as if it is some other creature besides a grouper.

It looks like it weighs about 200 jin! In the past, whether it was caught or raised by ourselves, most of them only weighed about 1 or 2 jin each. If it weighed 3 or 4 jin, it was considered a very large grouper.

Even so, I was happy every time I caught a grouper, because grouper was really expensive, and a small one could be worth half a basket of ordinary sea bass, goby, golden pomfret and the like.

Such an expensive thing, what does it mean to weigh over 200 pounds?

"This reef doesn't look very big. I guess it's just the little bit that's exposed above the water. This seabed should be a very large underwater reef!"

Liang Ziqiang guessed immediately.

The appearance of such a huge grouper, and not just one, must mean that the reef on the seabed must be of an unusual size.

"If the grouper looks like this, can it still be called a grouper?" Lu Zheng was also shocked and asked in confusion.

"Giant grouper! But it can also be said to be another thing, the giant grouper!" Li Liang replied to Lu Zhengdao.

Grouper is hard to find in shallow waters, making it a seafood that many fishermen want but cannot get. Its high-end status can be seen from the fact that Yuehai Restaurant accepts all groupers.

However, in some places in the deep sea, there live giant groupers that are ten or even dozens of times larger than shallow sea groupers. This kind of thing is much rarer and more difficult to find than shallow sea groupers.

People call it "giant grouper" and also give it a special name, "dragon grouper".

To be honest, when Liang Ziqiang was fishing for grouper on Wuming Island, what he wanted most was to catch a few "king of groupers" - rat groupers. He never thought about encountering a large group of giant groupers.

However, now, the giant grouper was swimming right in front of him. Due to its size advantage, the value of a giant grouper must have surpassed the rat grouper that he had been dreaming about day and night! "First, use a trawl net to try. If you can see them in the water, it means that some giant groupers will swim out from the reef area. Try to see if you can catch as many as you can!" Liang's father suggested.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Generally speaking, grouper is difficult to catch by casting nets or trawling because it likes to hide deep in the reefs and can often only be caught slowly with a fishing rod.

But this place seemed a little special, and Liang Ziqiang also thought that the method his father suggested might be worth a try.

Soon the three ships were moving on, the trawls agitated in the current astern as if swollen by the wind.

As the boat started moving, Liang Ziqiang got so excited that he shouted "Thank you!" towards the direction of the killer whale, regardless of whether the other party could understand him or not.

The killer whale splashed water in the dark and mumbled something, but no one knew what it was saying.

It seems that what was reported in the news, that killer whales can imitate human speech and say hello, thank you, etc., although true, is not that easy to happen.

At least, the killer whale in front of him heard Liang Ziqiang and the others say thank you so much to it, but in the end it did not learn to utter the word "thank you".

Compared to his peers in the news, his language talent is still a bit behind. But as for his IQ, needless to say, his series of actions today have already proved it.

Seeing that Liang Ziqiang and his crew of boats started to catch fish, the killer whale stayed for a while and then slowly left with a splash of water.

"The killer whale is gone, just gone like that..."

Fangfang had been asking Lu Feng to follow the killer whale with a flashlight. Now that she saw the killer whale leaving, she couldn't help but look sad.

"Look, it's turned back and is looking towards the boat. It's reluctant to leave!"

Seeing that the killer whale in the light beam was swimming back from time to time, Fangfang could no longer hold back her tears and stood there wiping them. Lu Feng had no choice but to speak out to comfort her.

Li Liang, Lin Baixian and others were stunned.

The killer whale was clearly thanking Liang Ziqiang. Even if it was reluctant to leave, it was because of Liang Ziqiang and the others. What does it have to do with you?

Liang Ziqiang and the others didn't react much, but you cried yourself to death! Is it so easy to get into the role?

The killer whale gradually disappeared, and Liang Ziqiang slowly dragged the net in this sea area to see if he could catch the giant grouper by trawling...
