The color of this rock is rather strange. Apart from those oddly shaped coral reefs, most reefs in the sea are black or brown.
The stone in front of Fu Wan was indeed a rare white. Not only was it white, but it was also a very bright white, making it stand out even more in the pitch-black deep sea.
Fu Wan touched the stone with her hand, but she didn't expect that what looked like a stone was not a stone at all. The texture was not the hardness of a stone, especially when she gently applied force, it felt as if she could break it.
Even when Fu Wan unintentionally moved another rock that was blocking the thing, it actually started to float up, wobbling.
This is outrageous!
Fu Wan quickly hugged it, broke off a small piece of white stone, and smelled it.
Perhaps because she was in the sea, Fu Wan didn't smell anything.
But she was certain that this couldn't possibly be an ordinary stone. A guess formed in her mind, but she also found it utterly absurd.
This thing was located next to a sperm whale's nest, and its texture was so soft that it was hard for her not to think of ambergris, a unique product of sperm whales.
In her previous life, she had read a lot of popular science articles, which said that ambergris is a unique substance produced by sperm whales when they eat bony fish that they cannot digest. It is produced through intestinal peristalsis and secretions, and is eventually excreted by them.
Well, to put it simply, it's sperm whale poop.
Fu Wan showed no disgust whatsoever. Even if it was poop, it was still very valuable poop!
Because ambergris can be used as a traditional Chinese medicine and to make various kinds of liquids, it is considered to be priceless in later generations.
Don't be fooled by that little lump in her hand; it might be worth a courtyard house in Kyoto!
What are you complaining about?!
At this moment, Fu Wan couldn't think of moonfish at all. She was just picking up those white stones from the smallest mesh of her net.
When Fu Wan started picking them up, she realized that it wasn't just the white ones that were ambergris; there were also quite a few gray ones, and even black ones, which felt similar to the white stone she had touched earlier.
Fu Wan guessed that these were probably sperm whale droppings, but her net bag had limited capacity, so she could only pick up the white ones first. When there was still some space left, she picked up a few black and gray ones from the side and stuffed them in.
Looking at her bag full of poop, Fu Wan couldn't help but laugh.
Who would understand? She spent half a day working on the seabed and ended up bringing back a huge bag of poop!
If this gets out, the people of Fujia Village will probably laugh themselves to death.
However, Fu Wan did not intend to tell everyone about this. Not everyone could dive into the deep sea and accidentally discover these things like her, not to mention that sperm whales are not often seen in the waters near Fu Family Village.
If people knew that sperm whale feces were so valuable, it would be inevitable that some unscrupulous people would go out to sea to hunt these sperm whales, their only purpose being the feces inside their stomachs.
After all, such things have happened before in island nations.
Thinking of this, Fu Wan glanced again at the sperm whales that were still in the upright position they had just been in.
She sincerely hoped that these big creatures in the ocean could live out their whale lives healthily and happily. Just as Fu Wan turned around with a net full of ambergris to leave, she came face to face with the big head of the little sperm whale.
Goodness, that startled her!
When the baby sperm whale opened its mouth wide, Fu Wan realized that a large octopus was struggling inside.
This octopus was probably the size of two of Fu Wan's fists, and it had already been brought to the brink of death by the sperm whale.
Is this feeding itself?
Fu Wan couldn't carry it now; the net bag of ambergris she was holding probably weighed over ten kilograms, and she had just finished working for half a day and was exhausted.
The little sperm whale called to her but she didn't answer. After closing its mouth, it looked a little strange. It brought its big head closer to Fu Wan and then smelled the bag full of ambergris in Fu Wan's hand.
The baby sperm whale then retreated more than a meter away, looking both disgusted and shocked.
Two-legged creatures don't actually like the delicious giant octopus; they actually like their poop!
The baby sperm whale was shocked; the baby sperm whale didn't understand!
The baby sperm whale didn't even have time to swallow its food before it used its head to push the nearby reef aside, blocking the white stones.
This is filth, block it, block it, don't let it drift everywhere!
Seeing its earnest efforts, Fu Wan immediately understood why this ambergris, despite showing signs of wind erosion, was trapped in the deep sea.
So it was this little sperm whale that did it!
Seeing the little sperm whale looking at her with a completely incomprehensible expression, Fu Wan wanted to burst out laughing.
It's really hilarious to see such an expression on an animal as big as a sperm whale.
However, there was nothing she could do since the sperm whale didn't understand. Fu Wan could only pat its big head to say goodbye, and then take her full net and prepare to swim to the surface.
She had been in the sea for several hours by then, and it was unknown whether her father and Fu Liang were getting impatient.
In fact, Boss Fu and Fu Liang had been pacing anxiously on the ship for a while.
Boss Fu originally had a lot of confidence in Fu Wan, after all, Fu Wan had never had any problems before when she went into the sex industry.
But as time ticked by, his attention after casting his line was no longer on the float, but on the sea surface.
Occasionally, when mackerel or other light-attracting fish jump out of the water, Boss Fu always assumes that Fu Wan has returned.
Fu Liang wasn't worried at first, but as two or three hours passed, his confidence gradually turned into worry.
"Uncle, why hasn't Awan come back yet?"
Fu Liang stood on the deck, constantly observing the movements on the sea. Fu Laoda did the same. He didn't say anything, but in his heart he had already knelt down to the Goddess Mazu.
Please bless my daughter to come back safely. I will definitely donate a lot of money to the temple later!
Just as Boss Fu was getting desperate and preparing to change his clothes and jump into the sea to look for Fu Wan, Fu Wan had already surfaced.
However, after surfacing for a long time, she still couldn't find her own boat. If it weren't for the fact that she was somewhat familiar with the nearby Golden Bird's Nest Island, she would have thought she was lost.
Fu Wan floated on the water and observed for a long time. Seeing that the orientation of the Golden Bird's Nest Island was wrong, she suddenly realized.
She swam to the back of the island!
Fu Wan could only sigh, then mustered her strength and continued swimming towards the location of her family's boat that she remembered.
Just as Boss Fu was about to go into business, Fu Liang exclaimed, "Awan, Uncle, look, isn't that Awan!"
Fu quickly shone his flashlight over, and in the bright light, he saw his daughter waving at him from the sea.
That child really scared him to death!
"Let's set sail! We still have dozens of meters to go. Ah Wan must be exhausted!"
Fu Liang responded and started the boat, slowly heading towards Fu Wan. He didn't dare to push the engine too hard, in case he couldn't stop in time and hurt A-Wan.
After Fu Wan was pulled onto the boat by Boss Fu, he was relieved to see that she was unharmed.
Exhausted, Fu Wan lay on the deck and pushed the net next to her towards Boss Fu.
"Dad, look what this is!"
