Fu Wan treated this fish with such care that even though Bai Qianzhou had never seen a rose scorpionfish before, he now realized how dangerous this ugly fish in front of him was.
After regaining his composure, he rushed forward to help. But at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
He boasted that he was a great swimmer and that Fu Wan didn't need to worry about him when he went into the water, but he never expected that he would almost drag Fu Wan down again.
Of course, at the same time, a different kind of pride rose in his heart.
His partner is that amazing; he can spot the rose scorpionfish hiding in the mud from a great distance.
It seems that he owes Fu Wan another debt. He can't even remember how many times he's been saved.
Another fish was stuffed into the net, and it instantly became much heavier.
But there is still some room.
Seeing this, Fu Wan gestured to Bai Qianzhou a couple of times, preparing to catch a few more mantis shrimps and water snails before heading back.
There are quite a few people on the island, so each person needs at least one mantis shrimp.
Sea snails, the meat, sliced and blanched, tastes good, whether you eat it now or take it home tonight.
There were only a limited number of mantis shrimps to be seen in this area, so Fu Wan swam a short distance further ahead, with Bai Qianzhou following closely behind.
In a new sea area, Fu Wan found the mantis shrimp hiding in the mud and sand without much effort.
Some don't even hide in the mud and sand, but instead lie in the coral reefs to hunt.
Fu Wan looked around again, still not giving up, and strangely enough, there was still no sign of lobsters in this area.
Looks like we really won't be getting any lobster today!
Fu Wan shook her head, stepped forward and grabbed a mantis shrimp from a short distance away. Just then, she suddenly felt a light tap on the back of her head.
Ouch! What's wrong?
Fu Wan turned to look at Bai Qianzhou in surprise, only to find that Bai Qianzhou was intently aiming his harpoon at the parrotfish hiding in the crevice of the reef.
He was completely unaware that Fu Wan was frowning as she looked at him.
If it wasn't Bai Qianzhou who took the picture of himself, then who was it?
Fu Wan was a little confused and felt a chill run down her spine.
She looked around, and apart from the occasional fish swimming around and the swaying seaweed, there was nothing else moving.
Never mind, maybe it was just a passing sea fish that bumped into me.
Fu Wan comforted herself, and seeing that Bai Qianzhou had already speared the parrotfish with his harpoon, she quickly swam over to help.
This rocky cave wasn't as smooth as when Fu Wan had hunted the red snapper. Bai Qianzhou struggled for a long time, but the fish was stuck in the cave and couldn't get out.
He didn't have much fishing or hunting experience, so Fu Wan didn't hesitate to lie down in the crevice of the reef to check the situation inside.
Seeing that a small, protruding rock was wedged behind the fish, Fu Wan pulled out her short knife and pried the rock aside with force. She then repositioned the parrotfish before signaling Bai Qianzhou to continue pulling out the harpoon.
This time, the harpoon successfully brought the parrotfish out, but after all that trouble, the parrotfish was almost dead.
This is a bumphead parrotfish. Compared to the parrotfish that Fu Wan usually catches, this bumphead parrotfish has a noticeable stone-like protrusion on its forehead, as if it had been hit and swollen with a big bump.
The bumphead parrotfish, also known as the hump parrotfish or the Napoleon wrasse, comes in various sizes. The smaller ones weigh only one or two pounds and are somewhat similar to ordinary parrotfish, while the largest can grow to about 1.3 meters long, looking like a giant, clumsy creature from the sea.
This fish mainly feeds on live coral. In its juvenile stage, it is female, with a grayish-black body and white spots. As it grows up, it transforms into a male, and its body color changes to blue-green.
Furthermore, the tail of a young bumphead parrotfish is not clearly forked, but rather round. Even in adulthood, the forking of the tail is not obvious, resulting in a beautiful semi-circular tail.

The wrasse is not as delicious as the regular wrasse. Steamed, the meat doesn't taste very good, but it's okay when braised.
Bai Qianzhou had no idea about these things. Seeing that the fish looked good, he decisively went for it. After all, it was a meat dish, so Fu Wan told him to put it in the net.
Now the net was completely full.
Since it's full, it's about time to head back.
Just as Fu Wan was about to put away her speargun and surface, she was suddenly slapped hard again.
The blow landed hard on her shoulder, causing her to wince in pain.
Damn it, this is intolerable! Does he think she's some kind of ball, just randomly hitting her like that?!
Fu Wan rubbed her sore shoulder and turned her head, only to find herself staring at a fish with big buck teeth.
So ugly! It must be that lazy, bored fish again!
The same fish kept chasing and biting Fu Ming's webbed feet last time!
Well, this time Fu Ming wasn't here, so instead of chasing after her webbed feet to bite them, this guy started slapping her instead!
Although she didn't know if it was the same catapult fish from before, Fu Wan was no longer going to let it go.
That fish is so cheeky, she has to teach it a lesson!
Seeing Fu Wan turn her head away, the cannonball fish didn't run away. Instead, it swam back and forth more eagerly, opening and closing its mouth in preparation for another attack.
They adopted a "you're strong, I'll be even stronger" attitude.
Alright, alright, since that's the case, I won't hold back.
Fu Wan curled her lips into a cold smile and picked up the harpoon in her hand.
She hadn't originally planned to eat the cannonball fish, but since this fish was so uncooperative, she figured she had some knowledge of fishing and hunting principles!
Seeing Fu Wan raise her speargun and aim, the fish seemed to sense the threat of death and suddenly turned around decisively and swam away in a flash.
Fu Wan was speechless. That fish was so stubborn; it actually recognized the harpoon.
The fish had all escaped, so Fu Wan couldn't chase after them anymore. She could only mutter to herself that she shouldn't get angry with a fish.
That damned triggerfish, I hope she never sees it again!
Fu Wan packed up her harpoon and turned to signal Bai Qianzhou, who had already taken the net, to surface. Bai Qianzhou reached out and took the harpoon from her. But the next second, Bai Qianzhou seemed to see something, her pupils dilated instantly, and she instinctively pulled Fu Wan aside.
Fu Wan finally managed to steady herself. When she looked up, she saw that the cannonball fish, which had failed to attack her after returning home, was now charging aggressively towards Bai Qianzhou again.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Fu Wan quickly raised her speargun and aimed it at the fish. The speargun shot out instantly, piercing the body of the cannonball fish.
The triggerfish instinctively struggled, then began to hide in the crevices of the reef with its fins propelled by its fins.
Fu Wan had already pulled the harpoon rope, and she had planned to let the cannonball fish go after it escaped. Who knew that it would refuse to take the path to heaven and repeatedly court death when there was no way to hell?
If Fu Wan doesn't retaliate against its repeated provocations, she won't even have the face to call herself a professional hunter!
The triggerfish weighed about four or five pounds and was quite large. It crawled into a crevice in the reef and got stuck inside.
Fu Wan followed the direction of the fishing line and looked through the cracks in the rocks, and immediately burst into laughter.
Next to that triggerfish, there was also a grouper that I had been looking for for ages!
