Fu Wan was naturally unaware of Jiang Wanghai and Feng Ji's concerns.
She was having a blast!
After swimming a little further and entering another coral reef, she saw a spotted rat that looked to weigh about two pounds.
It's not a tiger grouper, but the most valuable mouse grouper!
Thinking of the sweet and delicate taste of the grouper, Fu Wan immediately took her tools and quietly approached.
I wanted to catch one alive with a net, but the fish was very cunning and stubbornly hid in the rocky cave and wouldn't come out.
With no other option, Fu Wan found the right angle, raised the harpoon, and launched a swift attack. After the rat-like creature struggled for a while, she put the harpoon away.
Although bamboo forks are lightweight and easy to use, their quality is only so-so in actual combat.
The grouper's struggles bent the spikes at the bottom of the bamboo fork, but trading a harpoon for a grouper was still a worthwhile deal.
After placing the rat-spotted fish into the net, Fu Wan then used her hand to smooth out the barbs on the harpoon.
One grouper was not enough for her, and she found a goatfish with almost no effort.
The distinctive feature of the goatfish is the two long barbels near its mouth, and this fish is also one of the more expensive types in seafood restaurants. Its flesh is very tender, and it tastes excellent whether steamed or served as sashimi.
Goatfish react slower than grouper, especially the one in front of Fu Wan. Fu Wan didn't even need a harpoon; she simply covered it with a net and caught the fish.
After catching the goatfish, Fu Wan circled around again and caught a few mantis shrimps in the mud and sand under the coral reef, as well as two yellowfin seabreams, before preparing to surface.
However, just as she turned around, a sea wolf slowly swam towards her from not far away.
As the dominant species in the sea, Fu Wan had no intention of confronting the sea wolf head-on.
If she encountered a pack of sea wolves, she could try using a net and a harpoon, but for this lone sea wolf, Fu Wan decided to give way.
In the ocean, besides things like sharks, whales, and swordfish that you shouldn't mess with, you also shouldn't touch lone wolves like these.
Because a lone wolf is often stronger than any other wolf in a pack.
Watching the lone wolf's departing figure, Fu Wan continued to float to the surface. After surfacing, she realized that she was still more than fifty meters away from the fishing boat.
Sure enough, once you get too far into the sea, you're more likely to drift further and further away from the boat.
Fu Wan had no choice but to prepare to swim towards the boat.
However, at that moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose at sea, and a wave crashed over, drenching the unsuspecting Fu Wan.
That wasn't all. When the waves subsided, Fu Wan discovered that she had inexplicably found a large rock floating on the water in her arms.
How could a stone float on the water? Fu Wan held it with one hand, not even having time to take off her waterproof goggles, and eagerly examined the stone.
That familiar texture, the uneven surface, and the faint, fishy smell of the sea.
Good heavens, what else could this be but sperm whale poop!
Fu Wan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
She had been debating whether to bring the ambergris she had hidden to Master Ning, but she never expected that such a large piece of ambergris would fall from the sky while she was out at sea today!
She couldn't estimate the weight of this thing in the water, but it looked about the size of a football, so it could easily sell for several million!
This delighted Fu Wan, who immediately grabbed a stone, dragged the net, and swam towards the boat.
Feng Ji, who was on the ship, was the first to spot Fu Wan and immediately called out to Boss Fu.
"Brother Fu, Comrade Xiao Fu is over there. Shall we sail over there?"
Ever since he discovered that Fu Wan hadn't made it ashore, Feng Ji's heart had been in his throat.
Knowing that this girl is a good swimmer is one thing, but facing her directly is another.
Although it was impolite to think like that in front of Boss Fu, he had long regarded Fu Wan as his daughter.
Upon hearing Feng Ji's words, Boss Fu hurriedly threw the hand-thrown net he had pulled up onto the deck and then looked out to sea.
Sure enough, they saw Fu Wan swimming this way.
"Ah Wan, stay there and don't move, I'll come over by boat right away!"
Fu Wan was swimming with her head down when she heard Boss Fu's voice and quickly stopped to respond.
"No need, I'll be there soon!"
With only ten meters left to go, there was absolutely no need to start the boat.
And it was only at this time that she realized that her physical strength was much better than before.
She's been in the water for almost two hours, and she still feels full of energy.
I feel like my physical fitness has improved significantly since I came back from the sea yesterday.
As Fu Wan got closer and closer to the boat, Boss Fu couldn't wait to reach out his hand.
"Ah Wan, hurry, I'll pull you up!"
Fu Wan didn't reach out her hand; instead, she held the stone in her arms to him.
"Dad, take this thing to the boat right now!"
Fu Laoda was puzzled, staring at the large object, still not realizing what it was.
Feng Ji, who was standing next to him, recognized him at a glance and immediately pulled Jiang Wanghai away from in front of him.
"My God, this is ambergris! Such a huge piece of ambergris?!"
Feng Ji was truly stunned. When Fu Wan brought the ambergris before, it was only the size of a fist, and he was shocked for several days. Now, seeing such a large piece, he was dumbfounded.
"I was wondering where I'd seen this before. Turns out it's ambergris!"
As Fu Laoda muttered to himself, he casually put the ambergris aside and then busied himself pulling his daughter away.
No matter how precious ambergris is, it is not as precious as his daughter!
Fu Wan climbed onto the boat with the help of Boss Fu, and then turned around to pull her fish ashore.
There was no other way. The moment she found the ambergris, she tied the net tightly and swam forward, pulling on the net rope.
Fortunately, she was strong, and even with the weight of the net pulling her from behind, it didn't affect her swimming speed back.
Jiang Wanghai wasn't into antiques; he knew ambergris was valuable, but he wasn't particularly interested.
When he saw the net that Fu Wan had pulled up, he couldn't help but start to question life, just like Feng Ji.
He had never seen such a large rat-spotted snake before!
How could such a delicate and fresh-faced girl have been beaten up like this?!
Because the harpoon wound wasn't large, and the rat-spotted animal wasn't quite dead yet, Boss Fu didn't have time to think much and quickly drained its blood.
"This dead rat-like creature will fetch a lower price!"
Village Chief Fu shook his head regretfully. Fu Wan took the towel Ye Xiaocui gave her and dried her face, saying nonchalantly, "It's alright, I won't sell this rat-spotted plant. We'll eat it tonight!"
"What?! Such a huge grouper, you're eating it yourself?!"
Well, now another village chief, Fu, is questioning his existence.
"Ah Wan, these spotted rats can sell for tens of yuan!"
