Upon spotting the thresher shark, Comrade Little Orca, without a word, dropped the manta ray at Fu Wan and charged towards it.
Hey, you two-legged creature, hold this for me for now, I'll come back later!
The manta ray was already lifeless, so Fu Wan could only try to hold onto its tail. Fortunately, she had a short knife with her, which she used to remove the manta ray's venomous barbs.
The baby killer whale returned shortly after running away. It cautiously looked around and found that apart from the Napoleon wrasse that was engrossed in eating sea urchins, there were no other large fish around.
Its two-legged creature was holding the manta ray it had given it and was waving at it.
When Fu Wan saw the little orca return, she handed it the manta ray back to it. Unexpectedly, the little orca shook its head and then nudged the manta ray with its head.
Is this for myself?
Fu Wan suddenly realized that Little Orca hadn't forgotten to pack up for herself while out hunting in the wild!
Fu Wan was moved, but unfortunately the manta ray was too big, at least 1.5 meters long. Fu Wan had just gritted her teeth and dragged it, and her arms were already sore after just a short while.
Not to mention that if she accepted the fish, she would have to carry it back, and Fu Wan could only imagine how unpleasant that would be.
Let it eat by itself; it can catch a few lobsters to take back at most. Just now, Fu Wan glanced around casually and noticed several antennas sticking out of the entrance to the rocky cave.
Since we've come all this way, wouldn't it be a shame to go back empty-handed?
The baby killer whale was a little angry when the two-legged creatures gestured to it for a long time but still refused to accept its manta ray. Especially when Fu Wan handed it the manta ray, the Napoleon wrasse actually came closer, opened its thick lips, and tried to take a bite.
? ? ? ? ?
Dream on!
It's already very generous of me to share my prey with my two-legged friends. What is this Napoleon wrasse that dares to eat the prey it caught?
In the blink of an eye, just as the Napoleon wrasse was about to bite off a piece of stingray flesh, the little killer whale lunged forward, shoving the Napoleon wrasse aside. And that wasn't all; it then lashed out with its tail at the Napoleon wrasse.
Do you even understand what I'm eating, you idiot? Get out of here!
Fu Wan was stunned. The Su Meiyu had vanished in the blink of an eye, and she didn't know where it had been thrown.
Given the force the baby killer whale just exerted, it's questionable whether the Napoleon wrasse lives or dies.
May the Goddess Mazu bless it, Amitabha.
Fu Wan silently prayed for the Napoleon wrasse. It wasn't easy for a Napoleon wrasse to grow to such a size. At least among the Napoleon wrasse species, that one should be considered the king.
Unfortunately, its excessive gluttony led it to encounter a domineering and short-tempered little orca, which caused it to suffer a setback.
Besides Fu Wan, two sea turtles, Fu Gui and Hua Kai, also witnessed the baby killer whale knocking the Napoleon wrasse king away. Although the baby killer whale had just helped them find Fu Wan, as victims who had been kicked around like a ball by the baby killer whale before, Fu Gui and Hua Kai shrank back, then abandoned the sea urchin in their mouths and quickly hid in the rocky cave.
Holy crap, that's terrifying!
My mentally unstable street hustler friend!
Fu Wan watched this scene with a mix of amusement and exasperation. However, Fu Gui and Hua Kai had already eaten several sea urchins and were probably about 70-80% full.
So she ignored the blooming of the manta ray, and after demonstrating to the little killer whale that she couldn't lift the stingray, she turned and swam towards the coral reef.
Unlike before when she went to sea, she had nothing but a short knife she carried with her, and no other tools to catch lobsters.
She didn't wear the harpoon at all, but luckily she hadn't taken off her gloves and still had the net bag she had left over from before around her waist.
With the net, everything would be fine. Fu Wan found the most conspicuous antenna and quickly reached her hand into the hole along it.
The cave was located under a pile of rocks. It wasn't very big, but lobsters love to hide in such narrow spaces.
Fu Wan grabbed the lobster's head and pulled for a while. The lobster was quite strong, but Fu Wan used one hand to support herself on the rocky cave and exerted her strength, making her even stronger.
After pulling and tugging for about two or three minutes, Fu Wan finally pulled the lobster out. Yes, pulled it out. The lobster was still making a squeaking sound when she held it in her hand. Fu Wan tore open the net and stuffed the lobster inside.
This lobster was a rare variegated lobster, with a tail that was at least 20 centimeters long. Fu Wan was very satisfied and turned to look for the next lobster.
This scene was utterly perplexing to the little orca. What was so delicious about this shelled creature? Why didn't the two-legged creatures eat the manta rays they caught?
The little killer whale had a big head and a big question mark on its face, but it didn't bother Fu Wan. Instead, it rushed towards the group of manta rays that had just gathered nearby!
Two-legged creatures don't eat it, but it does!
Fu Wan wasn't in a hurry to go back and catch lobsters. First, Fu Laoda and the others knew she had gone out with Hua Kai and had been in the water for an hour or two, so they should have already started trawling. Second, the old sea turtle had passed away, and Fu Wan was feeling a bit down. Fu Laoda and the others had never seen the old sea turtle, so she didn't want to tell them about it.
So she wanted to find something to do to relieve her depression.
Besides lobsters, there were also many mantis shrimps along the coral reef, which Fu Wan naturally didn't miss. Not only that, she even found two mantis shrimps as thick as her arms.
But those weren't ordinary mantis shrimp; to be precise, they belonged to the mantis shrimp family.
After all, ordinary mantis shrimp are not at least 15 centimeters long, not to mention that the shrimp in front of us are colorful and look like they are not to be trifled with.
Fu Wan immediately thought of a type of shrimp that her eldest brother Fu had told them about when they were young, called the rainbow mantis shrimp.
This shrimp, just like the one she was looking at, had a very bright appearance with multiple colors including red, blue, and green. It had two conspicuous tentacles on its head. Although it looked small, Fu Wan knew that this was the most powerful feature of the mantis shrimp.

Those two small tentacles can unleash enough force to kill an opponent weighing over 100 pounds when they attack. Moreover, they can punch very quickly, striking as swiftly as a mantis before their prey can react, shattering the hard shell of crustaceans with a single punch.
Because of their beautiful appearance, many people in later generations have kept them as ornamental pets. However, because they are too aggressive, if they are kept with other fish, they are very likely to end up with broken steel and dead fish.
No matter how powerful they are, mantis shrimp cannot escape ending up on the dinner table in the face of intelligent humans. The meat of this shrimp is very springy, comparable to lobster meat.
Thinking of the bouncy and smooth texture of shrimp meat, Fu Wan gripped the short knife in her hand tightly.
All she had were this tool and a net, but that didn't stop her from taking on the two mantis shrimp in front of her.
She only needs to scare the mantis shrimp with a short knife and then open the net in the direction the mantis shrimp is retreating.
Her only concern was that the mantis shrimp might kill the lobster!
