Fu Wan watched the battle between Fu Ming and the cannonball fish with great interest. The next second, she suddenly saw a flash of white light in the coral reef behind Fu Ming.
Fu Wan initially thought it was some kind of white sea fish. She composed herself and looked at the location of the white light again. However, when she saw the source of the white light, Fu Wan's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.
Good heavens, that's not a white sea fish at all, it's clearly a sea cucumber lying down, and if she's not mistaken, it's a very rare white jade sea cucumber!
It's white jade ginseng!
Fu Wan's breath hitched for a few seconds. She blinked instinctively, afraid that she was seeing things.
But those few sea cucumbers were as white as jade, and they were really eye-catching in the sea.
Fu Wan quickly swam forward, and the closer she got, the more she could see how unusual this sea cucumber was.
These are several sea cucumbers, each about ten centimeters long, similar in length to the sea cucumbers Fu Wan usually sees, and in appearance to ordinary sea cucumbers.
What's different is the color of the skin. Most of the sea cucumbers Fu Wan has seen before are yellowish-green, but this one is as white as jade, a first for her.
Fu Wan had heard the legend of the white jade ginseng since she was a child.
As an extremely rare variety of sea cucumber, the white jade sea cucumber is known as "oceanic platinum".
This type of sea cucumber, also known as the white spiny sea cucumber, is a genetic variation among spiny sea cucumbers.

Among tens of thousands of sea cucumbers, perhaps one white jade sea cucumber will appear. However, this white jade sea cucumber cannot be passed down from generation to generation. If this white jade sea cucumber reproduces, its offspring will still be ordinary sea cucumbers, not white jade sea cucumbers.
This is actually a form of albino rarity, just like the white humpback whale that Fu Wan saw before.
Besides its rare appearance, white ginseng also has high medicinal value, and it has a very good effect on anti-cancer and blood sugar reduction.
It is said that the selenium content in white jade sea cucumber is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary sea cucumber, which is one of the reasons for its high price.
Unlike ordinary sea cucumbers, white jade sea cucumbers have extremely high requirements for the water quality of their living environment. If the seawater is even slightly polluted, they will not survive.
It was extremely rare; Fu Wan had never seen three white jade ginsengs before.
Furthermore, these white jade ginseng roots were clustered together, making Fu Wan wonder if she was dreaming.
Just as Fu Wan carefully picked up one of the white jade ginsengs, preparing to examine it closely, Fu Ming patted Fu Wan's shoulder from behind.
This action startled Fu Wan quite a bit. She turned around abruptly and met Fu Ming's puzzled gaze.
Fu Ming had just finished chasing and playing around with the cannonball fish, but in the end the cannonball fish lost.
Fu Ming swam over with great interest, wanting to urge Fu Wan to take the sea willow tree back quickly.
However, when he saw what Fu Wan was holding, Fu Ming's mind went blank, and his breathing became rapid.
What did he see?!
What is Ah Wan holding in her hand?
Fu Ming was so excited he almost choked on water, and after his excitement subsided, he started gesturing wildly.
White jade ginseng, white jade ginseng!
This is going to be another big fortune!
There were three white jade ginsengs in front of him. Fu Ming held on tightly, reluctant to let go, but his oxygen was running out, so he had to return to the surface immediately.
Fu Wan glanced around and, through the coral reef beside her, saw several more white jade ginsengs.
In an instant, Fu Wan was completely numb.
Isn't it said that white jade sea cucumbers are rare? Isn't it said that only one white jade sea cucumber is produced out of tens of thousands of sea cucumbers? Why are there so many in this sea area?
Will white jade ginseng really not be passed down from generation to generation?
Fu Wan had a series of questions in her mind, but at the moment, there was no one who could answer them for her.
There's no reason not to take some back if you come across them. After thinking for a moment, Fu Wan picked up five white jade ginseng roots and a clump of seaweed and put them in the net. Then, she swam towards the surface of the water, protecting the sea willow tree.
Fu Ming began to rise to the surface before Fu Wan, but he was not as fast as Fu Wan. Before Fu Wan could even surface, she heard Da Huang's urgent barking.
What happened?
Without a second thought, Fu Wan quietly surfaced. Not far from the kayak, a fishing boat appeared, its flag billowing in the wind, making it impossible for her to tell where it came from.
That's not the most important thing. The important thing is that there are people on the water.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?"
A strange voice suddenly came from behind Fu Wan. Fu Wan turned her head and saw two strange men wearing diving suits.
"Where did you come from, and what do you want?"
Fu Wan looked at them warily. If she wasn't mistaken, their target was her kayak.
The two men were taken aback at first, but when they saw that it was a woman, one of the men took the initiative to attack.
"Are you a Chinese from mainland China? Do you know you've crossed the line?"
"All the seafood here belongs to us. You'd better go back to your own waters right now, or we won't be so polite!"
After saying this, a hint of greed flashed in the man's eyes. Although Fu Wan's fish box was covered, there were so many things inside that they couldn't be hidden. You could even see the lobster's antennae through the fish box.
In fact, if it weren't for Da Huang guarding them, the two of them would have already started stealing.
Fu Wan rolled her eyes at the two men. "Are you international police? Open your dog eyes and see clearly where we crossed the line?"
When she tied up the kayak, it looked like there were still two or three hundred meters to the boundary line!
The two men hadn't expected their words to be intimidating to the frail woman in front of them, and immediately tried to forcibly take her away.
Although they didn't know what was in the fish box, Fu Wan was still holding the sea willow tree, so they weren't going to let her go so easily.
One of them immediately had a fierce and menacing look on his face.
"There are only our people at sea now. See that big ship? That's ours too. You're the only woman here. I advise you to listen to me and obediently hand over everything, or else!"
The words were left unsaid, but the threat was clear: killing someone at sea is far too easy.
Although they didn't know how this woman appeared on the vast ocean, they had already become greedy and could not possibly let her go.
"Who said she's a person?"
Fu Ming's voice came softly from behind them. He had actually been up for two minutes and wanted to surface earlier, but after understanding Fu Wan's eyes, he hid in the water and quietly watched the performance of these two Taiwanese people.
Yes, the accents of these two were too obvious. After just one or two sentences, Fu Wan and Fu Ming were able to tell where they came from.
The two men were startled by Fu Ming behind them, but when they saw the sea willow tree that Fu Ming was also holding, a hint of greed flashed in their eyes again.
So what if there's one more person? There's a whole ship of people behind them.
These mainlanders are really good at finding things; they actually managed to discover such high-quality sea willow trees.
Fu Wan didn't miss the greed in their eyes, and she only felt fortunate.
Fortunately, the net containing the white ginseng was protected by water plants and tied around her waist, so she didn't completely float to the surface and the two people hadn't noticed her yet.
The willow tree alone was enough to arouse their desire to seize it. If they were to see the white jade ginseng, wouldn't they go crazy and kill people to snatch it?
