The tides rise and fall in the ocean, and the ebb and flow are closely related to the moon. Every day, the tide rises and falls, and many creatures are stranded due to the rising tide. In the seaweed in front of us, trying to hide its body, is an immature shark. It is stranded and trying to swim back to the sea. This small shark is as thick as a calf.
I've never eaten sharks, nor have I ever been eaten by sharks, but they must taste delicious. I put them in the fishing net. Not only did I catch sharks, but after catching the small sharks, Mr. Li also found eels swimming among the seaweed. Teriyaki eel rice and honey eel rice are dishes that both father and daughter love. It's a pity there was no rice, but having eels is still very good.
The eel was so slippery that it was impossible to catch it with just your hands. Luckily, a fish basket had been woven, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort. Meanwhile, the milk ball had found something extraordinary.
"Dad! Dad! Dad! There's a snail here."
Li Sheng chuckled. Naituan was indeed young and knew very little. Even a snail could surprise him so much. But when Li Sheng looked up and saw a snail that was bigger than his head, he was completely stunned.
Is this snail about to become a spirit? Will it transform into the Conch Maiden?
Mr. Li stepped forward, picked up the snail, and found it weighed seven or eight pounds. After seeing the species of snail, he suddenly realized why it was so big.
The viewers in the live stream were stunned to see such a huge snail. The largest snail they had ever seen was only about the size of a fist, and the snails they usually ate were only about the size of a finger. This was completely beyond their comprehension.
"It's like they've brought home the ancestors of all snails."
"What a chosen one! The forest princess has become the daughter of the sea, and Mother Ocean has brought out all the best things in her house."
"You can eat these snails, but could you give me the shell? I just want the shell, that's all I need."
"Wow, this snail is huge! Two people couldn't finish it."
"How can a conch shell grow so big? Are we even in the same world?"
"Tell me this is fake! This is fake! It's all special effects and photoshopped, there's a conspiracy, these are all props prepared by the production team."
...
Li Sheng actually wanted to keep a low profile, but his abilities wouldn't allow it. He wanted to keep a low profile, but with all this stuff right in front of everyone, he simply couldn't. So he could only reluctantly give a little explanation to everyone in the live stream, and maybe even show off a bit more.
"Don't be so surprised, everyone. There really are snails that can grow this big. The snail in the streamer's hand is the world's largest snail, called the Triton's Crown Snail. However, this kind of snail lives on the seabed and is relatively rare, so it is not common. It's normal that you don't know it. It was probably accidentally washed up by the tide and was just picked up by the Milk Group. It's just good luck."
Live Stream Room
"Lucky me! Why have I never had such incredible luck in my life?"
"My family lives by the sea. The biggest seashell I've ever picked up since I was a child is only the size of my palm. My ancestors have lived by the sea for generations, and I've never picked up one this big before."
"The milk group is not just lucky, but since you and your father have come here, you have not suffered any grievances, okay?"
"Lobsters, crabs, and all kinds of fruit—it's getting more and more outrageous. Why bother building cabins? Just live right on the beach!"
"It's not easy for this snail to grow so big. Can we not eat it and put it back in the sea?"
...
Li Sheng automatically ignored certain comments. He thought it was a waste not to take advantage of something that was offered to him, something he had never had the pleasure of eating before.
The beachcombing at dawn has only just begun, and the fun goes far beyond that.
The milk group was responsible for picking up the stationary shellfish, snails, mussels, etc.
After handing the huge snail to Dad for safekeeping, Naituan discovered an extremely plump cat's eye snail. Despite its fleshy appearance resembling a flower, it was actually all water.
If you grab a snail and squeeze it hard, it shrinks into a small mushroom shape like a water gun. There's not much meat in it. But don't be fooled by its appearance. Snails don't move fast and won't attack people unless provoked. However, you can't just pick up any snail. Some snails look ordinary but are actually highly poisonous.
There was a particularly beautiful snail in front of Naituan, with lovely patterns on it. Everyone thought Naituan was going to pick it up and put it in the basket, but Naituan threw it into the sea in a high arc.
"This kind of snail is poisonous and cannot be eaten. The snail we just saw is called a heart snail, which is highly poisonous. It has thorns inside its body, and it can be very dangerous if you are not careful and get pricked. If you find any snails you don't recognize while beachcombing, please do not pick them up randomly."
The live stream was filled with people who live by the sea, which confirmed what Naituan said: besides the edible snails, many snails by the sea are poisonous and need to be avoided.
However, other groups that were also going to the beach weren't so lucky. The shelter that Lu Wenbin and Liang Tianfen had worked on all day to build yesterday accidentally fell apart when they turned over in bed last night. The forest was unbearably hot and humid, so the two decided to go to the beach to collect some food. Luckily, the tide was coming in and there were many shellfish and snails on the beach, so collecting them was a piece of cake.
The two people had no idea they had picked up a poisonous snail, but it wasn't the most poisonous conch snail, but a square snail that looked ordinary and not much different from other snails.
The two men started a fire and cooked the food before eating it. Less than ten minutes after eating, they experienced a severe reaction. At first, they felt weak in their limbs. Neither of them realized the seriousness of the problem at first, but gradually, they not only felt weak in their limbs but also had difficulty breathing, which made them panic.
They immediately announced their withdrawal from the competition, becoming the first team to give up, which was unexpected yet reasonable.
The production team acted swiftly; within half an hour, a helicopter arrived, conducted emergency procedures, and took two people away. Finally, one of the ten teams' live streams ended and went black.
Although the island had far more supplies than expected, the competition was not as easy as anticipated, and any oversight in any detail could lead to defeat.
Yang Xiaoxiao and Wang Yao were also beachcombing at the same time. This time, things were finally going well. Teamwork makes the dream work. Wang Yao started a fire while Yang Xiaoxiao collected food. Wang Yao's side was all sand and no rocks, so the variety of food was not as good. Most of the easy-to-collect items were shellfish, snails, and crabs. If you had patience and skill, you could catch sea anemones or razor clams in the sand, and so on.
However, it was obvious that Yang Xiaoxiao did not have the patience and skills. She was even unwilling to dig in the sand with her own hands, and at most she could catch a few crabs, picking up some snails and shellfish. When she saw an octopus the size of her palm, she felt disgusted just looking at it, and catching it was out of the question.
Yang Xiaoxiao was in a daze and didn't sleep all night. She tried to sleep outside but couldn't because of the mosquitoes.
