Sometimes the tide recedes quite sharply, exposing part of the beach beneath the seabed; Ye Cheng was referring to that stretch of beach.
However, tides are unpredictable, and Ye Cheng's head injury last time was a typical lesson.
Therefore, fishermen generally don't want to get too close to the sea when they go beachcombing. Even if they find something, they might just jump into the sea and lose it.
Ye Cheng is not afraid of danger. Yesterday, the stability and accuracy of the system were fully verified. There are no problems in terms of granularity or alignment.
At Ye Cheng's insistence, Xiao Hu followed him toward the sea.
This place is different from the dry mudflats behind us. The seawater is still constantly washing over it. If you want to pick up anything from the mudflats, you can't find anything alive except for seashells. So the two of them are looking for puddles and areas under the rocks.
With a whoosh, the tide receded, revealing a blue stone about 2 meters ahead. Several small sea turtles were flapping their wings on the stone, and below it was a depression formed by the stone.
Seawater was still flowing out of the outlet of the pit. The seawater inside was quite murky, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
Ye Cheng picked up the net and went down to test it; it was quite deep.
In response to the uninvited guest, the net, the comment section immediately replied: "Someone's home, don't poke around."
"Xiao Hu, you block the drain outlet, I'll go down and feel around." Ye Cheng rolled up his sleeves.
"Brother, aren't you afraid it's a crab? Should I do it?" Xiao Hu asked with a half-smile.
Ye Cheng quickly withdrew his hand; that made sense.
Let professionals handle professional matters; when it comes to slacking off, Xiao Hu is definitely the more daring one.
After Ye Cheng blocked the drain, Xiao Hu rolled up his sleeves, bent down, and reached down to feel around.
You can't tell that the dent isn't big, but it's definitely not shallow.
The tiger only stopped when it stretched to the middle of its upper arm, probably about 1 meter deep. I don't know how it got there.
"Brother, there really is something."
"Just arrest them if you have them, do I have to teach you?"
"But it swims a bit too fast, I can't keep up."
"Keep going, you can do it, I believe in you, you'll definitely succeed."
Xiao Hu looked at Ye Cheng with a surprised expression. "Brother, I may not be good at studying, but I'm not stupid. You don't need to use such a boring way to motivate me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hu's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand, looking terrified.
"What are you doing? There are girls downstairs?"
"No, bro, there seems to be a snake down there." Xiao Hu wasn't sure. "I touched something long and slippery."
"Sea snake?" Ye Cheng was also startled. Sea snakes are venomous, and very venomous at that.
"Didn't get bitten?"
"No, I touched it briefly and then pulled back. It didn't bite me. Brother, maybe we should just let it go." Xiao Hu was a little scared.
Ye Cheng lowered his head and pondered for a while. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Today, my luck value is 100, and you give me a sea snake?
Little Tiger is quite clever; if he had attacked first, he might have been bitten or killed.
That system is just a waste of time.
No, it might not be a sea snake.
"I still want to see what it is. I'll use a net to find out later. It's okay if it takes a little longer."
"Okay, bro, I'm also curious to see what it is."
After agreeing on the plan, the two squatted down on one side and then bent down to start scooping.
He could feel something when he went down, but it just wouldn't enter the network, it kept bumping around, which made Ye Cheng very anxious.
Hey bro, come in and check this out if you're okay. If you're a snake, I'll let you go right now, I guarantee you'll be safe.
Later, having no other option, the two changed their approach and started pumping water.
If there's no water pump, then use buckets to manually scoop the water out, bucket by bucket.
Fortunately, it was a deep pit, but not very large. After the two of them filled seventeen or eighteen buckets, the water level dropped a bit, and there was indeed a dark shadow swimming around below.
It had a long, narrow body, and it wasn't red; I don't know if it was a snake.
Just to be on the safe side, the two of them poured more water into the bucket. This time, the creature inside became agitated and swam around frantically, its back exposed.
"Brother, it looks like a moray eel, not a sea snake," Xiao Hu said, pointing to its back.
Ye Cheng could tell that there was a significant difference between eel skin and snake skin.
"Hmm, it's an eel. Luckily it's not a snake. Let's just grab it."
Xiao Hu rolled up his sleeves. He didn't dare to catch the sea snake, but the sea eel was no problem for him.
Finding the eel's neck, Little Tiger pressed down with his tiger paw, firmly grabbing the eel's neck and lifting it up—a large eel over a meter long.
The struggle was too great, so Xiao Hu had to first throw it onto the beach and then hold it down again.
"Brother, a big shipment!" Little Tiger exclaimed excitedly as he played with the snake.
"It's alright, this thing isn't exactly a big shipment."
Conger eels aren't very expensive, they're about average, and for Ye Cheng right now, it's just a piece of cake.
This thing is a bit slippery, so Xiaohu took it and put it in a bag, otherwise it would be really hard to deal with.
Ye Cheng stood there, extremely anxious. The burst time was about to end, but there was still no high-quality goods.
Just as he was feeling sentimental, a wave suddenly surged over and submerged Ye Cheng's calves.
Ye Cheng steadied himself and stood firmly in the middle of the sea. White waves surged toward the shore one after another. It was the tide, which would come up and then recede. Ye Cheng was not in a hurry.
A red figure was swept towards the beach by the waves.
Damn, it seems like they're obsessed with red today. Ye Cheng picked up the net in his hand, scooped it up, and caught it perfectly.
Before he could even congratulate himself on his amazing aim, he felt a strong force coming from the net, pulling him so hard that he stumbled and almost fell into the sea.
Now he doesn't dare to pick up the net at all, and can only hold it tightly to the beach with both hands.
As the tide receded, the true nature of what lay inside was finally revealed.
A red fish with black spots all over its body. It's not a red spiny catfish, and its color is darker than that of a red spiny catfish. This is a red-spotted catfish.
Red-spotted fish is a deep-sea fish that is not only delicious but also has anti-thrombotic properties. It is a truly high-end product in the coastal areas, and a pound can cost thousands of yuan.
This red-spotted fish weighs over five pounds; we've definitely made a huge profit this time.
That's right, that's right, that's what you call a luck value of 100, hahaha.
Ye Cheng was overjoyed and ran towards Xiao Hu with his precious baby in his arms. It's better to keep this kind of creature alive.
Beachcombing has an advantage over sea fishing in that most of the fish caught on the beach are alive, while fishing can easily kill them.
Seafood, seafood, not fresh and not expensive.
The price difference between dead and living animals is at least double.
Just as Xiao Hu finished cleaning the sea eel, he saw Ye Cheng carrying a large red fish over. As he ran, he kept getting slapped in the face by the fish's mouth and tail.
