The fishing rod made a continuous creaking sound. The fish was very ferocious and was trying hard to pull the fishing line out.
Zhang Ze held the fishing rod in his arms and leaned back slightly. The fishing reel was able to unload the force enough. Although the fish could be pulled out a little, it was only a little, so there was no need to worry about it running to underwater caves or the like.
This is the advantage of a large fishing reel. The fishing rod may not be sensitive enough when adjusted to its hardest state, but you don’t need to worry about this when fishing for these ferocious marine fish.
Generally, sensitivity is required when fishing for small fish weighing a few taels, and most of them are freshwater fish.
For marine fish, even small yellow croakers, they eat very fiercely and make a lot of noise after being bitten. This means that you need to pay attention to particularly cautious sea breams such as red sea bream and yellowfin sea bream.
At this moment, at the bottom of the sea, a fat grouper was struggling and shaking its head constantly, making the bottom of the water turbid and scaring all the small fish and shrimps nearby away.
However, it can be clearly seen that there is a metal fishhook piercing its mouth directly on the left side of its mouth. No matter how hard it tries, it cannot get rid of this thing that it cannot understand.
At the same time, the hook will also transmit a huge force. No matter how it shakes its head and tail, it cannot dive to the bottom of the water. It can only keep moving upwards, and finally be forced to appear on the water surface.
Seeing the tiger grouper flapping in the water, Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows. The chances of this thing carrying ciguatera poison are very high! He had never thought about these things before, but now he would immediately consider the problem of ciguatera poison when seeing this kind of fish.
However, the fish I caught here in my previous life seemed to be fine, so the fish I catch now should be the same.
If there is a problem, some fish in this area will become inedible.
Anyway, I have brought the diving equipment with me, so at worst I can just dive down and take a look later.
“Clatter, clatter~”
The tiger stripe's energy was not exhausted. He was pulled up directly by brute force, so he was not at all restless after appearing on the water surface.
Water splashed everywhere, but it still came to the side of the boat little by little. Zhang Ze reached out and touched it, and the restless tiger striped cat appeared in the space, and then quickly calmed down.
I looked at the weight, it was thirteen pounds, not bad.
It only took five or six minutes from putting the fish hook into the water to putting the fish into the space.
The water here is shallow, so fishing is not slow.
Afterwards, Zhang Ze put up ordinary bait and continued fishing.
This time, the fishing rod responded shortly after the spool was closed. The pulling force was a little stronger than before, but the time spent was about the same.
When the fish appeared on the water surface, Zhang Ze's pupils shrank. It turned out to be a particularly large grouper, not shorter than the tiger grouper just now, and its belly was also bulging, making it look very fat.
He quickly pulled the fish to the side of the boat and reached into the space.
When Zhang Ze saw that his experience points suddenly increased a little, he was overjoyed. It turned out to be a king fish, which gave him 3,500 experience points.
This spotted mouse weighs 19.7 jin and is 77 centimeters long, making it super big.
He had never heard of such a big grouper. In later generations, it would be considered a big fish if it weighed over ten kilograms. He didn't expect that today he would catch a fish weighing over twenty kilograms.
Zhang Ze almost spent 10,000 experience points to give this rat spot the growth function, but he finally held back.
He is about to reach level 30, which will allow him to unlock new features and rewards. If he spends 10,000 experience points now, it means that if he doesn't catch the king fish, he will have to go out to sea twice more to level up.
You can keep the rat spots for now, and wait until you reach level 30 and have some experience points.
If its weight increases by 30%, this rat spot will be the largest in the world.
“Today is a good day”
Zhang Ze was humming a song and was in a very happy mood.
Two king fish, one of which is a very valuable grouper, will make anyone feel good.
Perhaps it was because this place was not visited by many fishermen, so Zhang Ze unsurprisingly went into a crazy continuous fishing mode.
Bass, snapper, grouper, red snapper, all kinds of fish that live in the reef area appeared.
Because the fish hook is relatively large, the fish caught are at least three pounds, but there are no particularly large ones. The largest is a red fish weighing more than 30 pounds, which is probably the boss of this shadow area.
After all, the water in this shadow area is shallow, only a little over 20 meters deep, so particularly large fish basically do not appear.
After fishing for about an hour, he caught twenty-one fish before the trend of continuous fishing slowed down.
Zhang Ze made a rough estimate. Excluding the rat spots, the remaining twenty could probably be sold for more than sixty yuan, an average of three yuan per piece, which was simply outrageous.
But the main reason for the higher price is the grouper, and secondly, they are all quite big.
After catching so many fish at once, Zhang Ze felt a little uncomfortable in his arms. He simply put down his fishing rod and took a short break, then picked up the teacup beside him and drank a few sips of water.
Then he stood up and walked to the bow. The bow was pointed and had a certain amplitude, which was just right for him to lie down.
He rested his arms behind his head, closed his eyes and rested.
The fishing boat swayed slightly with the waves, like a rocking chair. The anchor had been dropped, so there was no need to worry about the small trolling boat drifting away with the waves.
The sea breeze under this shade is also very comfortable. It feels more comfortable than sleeping in an air-conditioned room. At least it is not so dry. The only drawback is that it is easy to be blown black.
Zhang Ze didn't know the principle either. His skin turned darker even though he was not exposed to the sun, but just from the sea breeze.
Fortunately, he is in good condition. His skin has always been bronze and has not gotten darker.
I don’t know how long it had been, but Zhang Ze woke up naturally, sat up, stretched, and then looked around.
The fishing boat was still in the original position, and the area of the shadow did not seem to have changed much, just a little bit smaller.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then he realized that he had only slept for less than half an hour. No wonder there seemed to be no change in the position of the sun.
However, after taking a nap, Zhang Ze felt full of energy, so he continued fishing.
After hanging the fish hook, I continued to fish at the bottom as before. Big fish like to hide at the bottom of the water!
Zhang Ze didn't know that while he was sleeping, the undercurrent at the bottom of the water brought the remains of a stingray, about the size of a washbasin and which had been dead for some time, to the bottom of the boat.
The fishy smell of the fish soon attracted crabs in the nearby sand.
This food from heaven feeds thousands of underwater creatures, crabs being one of them.
It is not easy to get them to catch live fish to eat, as crabs are scavengers.
The crabs held up their large claws and tore off the remaining meat from the carcass bit by bit and put it into their mouths.
He has to work on both sides and never have a moment of leisure.
Some small fish were also attracted and were pecking at the wreckage with small bites.
However, at this moment, a piece of food emitting a strange fragrance suddenly fell in front of them.
This sudden food was so attractive that it immediately attracted the attention of many marine creatures nearby.
Coincidentally, the food was right in front of a big crab. Without even a second thought, the crab grabbed the food with its claws.
But the next moment, it was surprised to find that its body was suddenly in the air.
It felt a little uneasy, as if it might be in danger, but the aroma of the food was so tempting that the crab was reluctant to let go of its claws.
On the boat, Zhang Ze felt that the fish caught this time was a little strange and didn't struggle.
But he still quickly reeled in the fishing line and pulled up the little cutie that was hooked.
As the fishing line was reeled in, a very large orchid crab appeared on the water surface, which surprised him.
Zhang Ze never expected that he could catch a crab while fishing, but the crab shell was as big as his palm, so he put the orchid crab into the space without hesitation.
Moreover, compared to fishing, the trapped bait is intact and can obviously be used repeatedly.
When Zhang Zezheng thought he had found a small bug in the system, as the orchid crab was put into the space, the bait hanging on the fishhook slowly disappeared right under his eyes.
“.”
"Damn, there really isn't even any room for bugs!"
Zhang Ze was speechless and complained. It turned out that the magic bait in the space could only be exchanged for one at a time! However, an ordinary bait only gave him a little experience value, so he didn't care.
After hanging the bait again, after a while, he caught two more orchid crabs, which made Zhang Ze wonder if there was a crab nest at the bottom of the water.
He put the two crabs into the space, and then immediately released the smaller one.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The crab shell was smaller than his palm. Such a small crab didn't have much meat, so keeping it would just take up space.
Zhang Ze then continued the experiment. If it was still a crab this time, he decided to go back and put on a diving suit.
Then, as expected, what was caught was another orchid crab.
Now Zhang Ze is certain that there must be a lot of orchid crabs at the bottom of the water.
It’s better to dive and catch it directly, which is much more efficient than fishing.
He could also go into the water and see if he could catch not only crabs but also some lobsters or something.
Zhang Ze put away the fishing rod, pulled back the anchor, then started the thruster and returned to the Duoyu.
After tying the boat to the stern, he went into the cabin and began to unload the diving equipment.
The diving suit, belt, glasses, fins, oxygen tanks, etc. were all laid out.
Zhang Ze has tried free diving, fishing and scuba diving. Although these were things he did in his previous life, he had learned the skills and would not forget them after his rebirth. At most, his body was not familiar enough with these skills.
This is not a problem. Just put on a diving suit and splash around in the water a few times and you will become proficient.
After putting on the diving suit one by one, he did not put the oxygen tank on his back immediately, but carried it in his hand and placed it on the boat.
Zhang Ze plans to free dive for a while first, and then switch to scuba diving once his body becomes familiar with it.
After closing the boat door, he drove the boat back to the previous position, dropped the anchor to secure the boat, then put on his glasses and jumped directly into the water.
The sea water immediately submerged his head, and Zhang Ze, wearing glasses, could observe the situation in the water nearby with confidence.
Compared to when chasing manta rays, I don't feel the glare in the water after wearing the glasses.
He was forced to fall into the water at that time. If he didn't open his eyes, he would not be able to find the manta ray at all. This also caused his eyes to feel very uncomfortable after he came up. He went back to the room, rinsed his eyes with clean water for a while, and then closed his eyes for most of the day to wait for the tears to come out. He felt much better only after that.
Holding his breath, Zhang Ze did not float up immediately, but instead adapted to the feeling of the water completely submerging his head.
He floated up only when he could no longer hold his breath.
Breathing the fresh air, Zhang Ze started to do Franzo, which is ear pressure balance, which is crucial for diving.
He was not born with the ability to do Franzo, and he had to practice specifically in his previous life to learn it, but he had already mastered the technique and he quickly re-mastered the skill.
Feeling that he had almost adapted, Zhang Ze began to try to dive deeper.
The water here is relatively clear, and he feels that the visibility is about ten meters away, within fifteen meters.
After diving about five or six meters, he could see the undulating reefs and sand beds under the water.
Many small fish were swimming in schools below, and occasionally one or two slightly larger fish appeared in his sight.
However, there are almost no fish in the middle and upper water layers. Apparently, the hot water temperature has caused the fish to run to the bottom of the water.
When Zhang Ze dived about ten meters underwater, he stopped and felt the condition of his body.
However, he currently does not feel any discomfort. Apparently, the water pressure in the current water layer has no effect on his body at all.
After staying for a while, Zhang Ze did not continue going down, but came up to take a breath first.
Without a diving watch, he had no way of knowing exactly how long he could hold his breath, and could only roughly estimate that he could hold his breath for about two and a half minutes.
This is the current limit, but it does not mean it will be the limit in the future.
Zhang Ze’s physical potential is very high now, and through training he can greatly extend his breath-holding time.
This is the situation where the experience level is 50 but the physical ability is only level 1.
After taking a breath, Zhang Ze dived to the bottom in one breath this time, and then he saw the remains of a stingray surrounded by orchid crabs.
He suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he caught orchid crabs three times. It turned out that they were attracted by stingrays.
There are also orchid crabs coming over one after another nearby. It is obvious that this sand bed is their habitat.
Zhang Ze, who knew what was going on, turned around a little under the water and then floated to the surface.
This time he climbed onto the boat, then carried the oxygen tank and bit the breathing tube.
After taking a few breaths of oxygen, Zhang Ze slowly went into the water this time, instead of jumping directly like before.
The usage time of an oxygen cylinder is basically about 60 minutes, and the time varies with each person's oxygen consumption.
However, normal scuba diving usually only lasts for forty minutes, leaving some time for people to return to the water in time.
Forty minutes is enough for Zhang Ze to do a lot of things underwater.
With the oxygen tank on his back, he couldn't swim as fast as before and could only swim slowly towards the bottom of the water.
After a while, Zhang Ze came to the bottom of the water.
He went straight for the orchid crab, stretched out his gloved hand and immediately grasped an orchid crab whose shell was as big as a palm, and then put it into the space.
The advantage of catching them yourself is that you can choose them, but the disadvantage is that this will scare away several orchid crabs nearby.
But it doesn’t matter, there are quite a lot of crabs here, and the sand bed is full of lumps.
The orchid crab is a type of swimming crab, so its habits are similar. It usually hides under the sand to avoid its natural enemies and only comes out to find food.
Zhang Ze first caught the large orchid crabs exposed under his nose. In just ten minutes, there were thirty-seven of them in the space, and the smallest one weighed eight taels.
He didn't want any of the ones worth five or six taels. (End of this chapter)
