Just as Bai Yu, Li Xue, and the others were engrossed in digging in the sand, Wang Hai went to the toilet halfway through and then rushed back in a hurry.
Without saying a word, he grabbed Bai Yu and ran to the side. Bai Yu, who was being pulled along, was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.
"Hey Xiaobai, where are you two going?"
Just as Bai Yu was in a daze, Li Xue's voice rang out behind him again.
"I don't know either. Maybe Ah Hai found something good. Xue'er, you should hurry up and follow him. Let's go take a look together."
At Bai Yu's shout, Li Xue quickly followed, carrying her things.
Soon, led by Wang Hai, they arrived at the mudflats next to the beach. Mudflats are different from beaches; they are a mixture of mud and sand.
The small fishing village pier is flanked by two areas: one side is a pure sandy beach, and the other side is a mixed sandy beach and mudflat. Bai Yu and his group are currently in the mixed sandy beach and mudflat area.
It was at this moment that Bai Yu had time to ask Wang Hai what he had discovered.
"Ah Hai, why did you bring me to this mudflat? What good stuff did you find here?"
“Brother Yu, there’s a cave here, and there are lobsters inside. Hurry up and catch them, I’ll take a picture of them for you.”
Facing the mudflats in front of him, Wang Hai pointed to a spot ahead and then started filming the white fish with his video camera.
"Hmm? A lobster hole? We've run into a lobster hole again? Ah Hai, you're really something! You can even find a lobster hole while you're just going to the bathroom. Not bad, not bad. I'll give you an extra chicken leg for lunch!"
Xue'er, let's go. Last time, Ah Hai and I caught the little green dragon in the same cave, except that it was on the beach before, but this place is mudflats now.
"Hold me steady as we walk; the mudflats here are slippery, so you don't fall again."
Mudflats are places where mud, sand, and water mix. The ground here is not smooth and it is particularly dirty. If you slip and fall here, you will definitely get covered in mud.
Bai Yu cautiously walked towards the lobster cave, with Li Xue following closely behind.
Guided by Wang Hai, the two had only taken a few steps when they saw a hole, a hole as thick as an adult's forearm.
However, because the cave was filled with seawater, he couldn't see the specific situation inside, and Bai Yu hesitated for a moment.
After all, people naturally feel fear when they encounter the unknown.
He was worried that the hole might be a snake's den, or that a poisonous fish might be hiding inside.
It's important to know that sea snakes can bite people in the water, and many sea fish are also poisonous, especially their fins and other parts, which are the easiest places to hide venom.
"Ah Hai, are you sure this is a lobster hole? Did you see any lobsters in there?"
Bai Yu asked Wang Hai, sounding somewhat uncertain.
"Don't worry, Hai-ge, I saw a lobster crawl in with my own eyes. Hurry up and catch it out, I'm so worried!"
Unlike Bai Yu's hesitation, Wang Hai had no fear, especially since he had personally watched the lobster crawl inside.
call!
With Wang Hai's confirmation, Bai Yu took a deep breath and slowly put his hand into the hole. As Bai Yu's arm went deeper, he soon felt his fingers touch something.
"I found it! I found it! It's in its shell! This thing is in its shell, and it's quite big! Come on, come out now!"
As Bai Yu mumbled something, he pulled out a lobster covered in mud.
"You know what, catching lobsters feels pretty much the same as when we used to dig for crayfish by the river. The only difference is the size of the lobsters. Plus, catching these sea lobsters is really safe, at least they don't have big claws that can pinch you."
Bai Yu held the lobster in his hand and rinsed it briefly in the water, revealing its true color, which was slightly green.
This thing is quite big. Bai Yu compared his palm to the lobster, and it was even bigger than his palm, weighing about six ounces.
"Xue'er, quickly bring the bucket over!" Bai Yu called out.
Li Xue quickly handed the bucket to Bai Yu, who then put the lobsters into the bucket.
"Brother Xiaobai, this lobster is really big. Check if there are any more in the hole. Maybe there's another lobster hiding in this hole."
"Alright, let me search around some more. We're having a really good day. Let's wander around a bit more; maybe we can catch even more," Bai Yu said with a smile.
However, to his disappointment, there was only this one little green dragon in the cave, and no other one.
But that's alright. Based on their living habits, lobsters are generally social creatures. Since there's one lobster here, if they keep looking around, they might find a second, or even a third!
Bai Yu and his two companions then split up to search. Finding a hole on the mudflats was much more difficult than finding a small mound on the beach.
After all, whether it's a lobster burrow, a crab burrow, or some other creature's burrow, they are basically parallel to the ground plane and don't have any obvious protrusions.
In addition, the overall color of the mudflats is dark, which adds a lot of difficulty to finding the holes.
Just as Bai Yu was engrossed in searching the lobster cave, he heard Li Xue's shouts coming from not far away.
"Brother Xiaobai, I've found another hole. This hole is so big, I'm a little afraid to dig it out. Could you come and help me dig it out?"
"Coming, coming right away."
Upon hearing Li Xue's shout, Bai Yu immediately grabbed his equipment and ran towards her location.
As he ran, he was mentally complaining:
"What's going on today? We were supposed to have over forty luck points today, but I haven't seen a single lobster hole yet, while Ah Hai and Xue'er have each found one."
Brother Tongzi, is anyone there? You need to explain this to me. I'm a person with a system, and I can't even compete with two ordinary people when I'm just going to the beach?
Hey bro, I have to say, your system is a bit laggy.
Is it possible that, even with my blessing, your luck today is still not as good as theirs?
In other words, you're incredibly unlucky. I should have switched to someone else as a support; there's really no future with you. If I weren't already tied to you, I'd genuinely want to stick with that pretty girl next to me.
No sooner had Bai Yu finished complaining than Tongzi retorted, turning Bai Yu into a black-faced non-European with a single sentence.
'I have bad luck? If I had bad luck, would I have a system, even though it's a pretty useless one? Alright, enough of this nonsense, I'm going to go catch some lobsters!'
He chatted briefly with Brother Tongzi, and then decisively ended the conversation. There was nothing he could do; Brother Tongzi's words were just too rude.
Moreover, he had a feeling that Tongzi's intelligence was much higher than when he first met it. It was as if the guy was evolving, changing slightly every day.
As Bai Yu approached Li Xue, he also saw just how big the hole Li Xue had described really was.
That was indeed very large, at least twice the size of the previous hole Bai Yu had made, and much thicker than his arm.
"Brother Xiaobai, look at this cave, is it big enough? The mud and sand around here prove that the cave was recently expanded. But with such a big cave, can it really be inhabited by a little green dragon?"
It was precisely because the hole was so large, so large that no one could imagine what kind of creature might be hiding inside, that Li Xue dared not go in and dig it out herself.
"It's either lobster or crab anyway. I'm wearing the iron gloves my second uncle gave me today. I'll take it out as soon as I put the gloves on."
Then Bai Yu took out an iron glove from the bucket. This glove was the same type that his second uncle wore when he caught eels.
Although wearing iron gloves would hinder his sense of touch, with the gloves' protection, Bai Yu at least didn't need to worry about crabs in the hole.
With everything prepared, Bai Yu then began his work on the cave.
As Bai Yu's right hand went deeper, his first impression of the hole was: deep, damn deep.
It wasn't until Bai Yu had inserted two-thirds of his arm into the hole that he felt as if he had touched something.
"I've got it! I've found it! Wow, this thing is huge! And it's still in its shell! It's so big and still in its shell, could it really be a giant crab?"
"No, no, this thing is cylindrical, it's a lobster! Wait, a lobster this big?"
Because Bai Yu was wearing gloves, his sense of touch was greatly reduced, so he had to guess the species of the creature by feel.
"Brother Xiaobai, stop guessing. If you catch it, hurry up and get it out. I also want to see how big this thing is."
Li Xueguang, who was standing to the side, was listening to what Bai Yu was saying, and she was also a little impatient to see what this guy looked like.
"Xue'er, it's not that I don't want to catch this guy, but he doesn't want to come out. He's quite strong, and it's not easy for me to catch him while I'm wearing gloves."
"Brother Xiaobai, now that we're sure there's a lobster in here, why don't you take off your gloves and grab it? Or can you move aside and let me do it? I also want to experience what it's like to catch a lobster."
"Take off your gloves? Right, Xue'er is so smart. Wait, I'll take off my gloves now and go catch it. As for letting you use your hands, you can wait a bit. I feel like there's more than one lobster in this hole."
"Let me catch one first, then you can catch the second one. Don't be in a hurry."
At Li Xue's prompting, Bai Yu took off the iron gloves she was wearing.
This glove does provide him with some protection, but because of its metal material, wearing it will reduce the dexterity of his fingers.
As Bai Yu took off his gloves, he rummaged around in the cave with his bare hands, and this time he quickly pulled out a lobster covered in mud.
"Wow, Brother Xiaobai, this lobster is huge! It must weigh at least two pounds. Is it even a baby lobster?"
When Li Xue looked at the giant lobster in Bai Yu's hand, her first reaction was that the lobster was too big, to an exaggerated degree.
The lobster that Bai Yu was holding was as long as his forearm; a small green lobster could not possibly grow to such a size.
"It shouldn't be. Let me wash this guy. Holy crap, a flower lobster? This lobster is a flower lobster! We're going to be rich!"
"Xue'er, hurry, you take the next one! There's another lobster in this hole, catch it!"
