Chen Zhiyao put the mantis shrimp in her hand into the bucket, and then enthusiastically went to turn over other stones.
There was a flat, round stone in front of her, which didn't look particularly special at first glance.
However, upon closer inspection, one can see that small bubbles are constantly emerging from the cracks in the rocks.
After the rock was lifted, the two black mantis shrimps were startled and scrambled to a rock about half a person's height.
Just as it was about to climb to the edge of the crevice, the lead mantis shrimp was suddenly grabbed high by the all-purpose tongs behind it.
Next, it was the turn of another, smaller mantis shrimp behind it.
Mantis shrimp +2
After placing the two mantis shrimps into the bucket, Chen Zhiyao noticed that several snails were clinging tightly to the edge of the rock.
"Not bad, not bad, these snails are quite plump." As he spoke, he picked them all up.
As she walked to the other side of the rock, Chen Zhiyao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Surprisingly, there was a large nest of horseshoe snails under the rocks. Although they weren't very big, the crevice was filled with them. These horseshoe snails were covered in gray moss, making them look rather ugly, but thankfully they all had meat on them.
Horseshoe snails +6
As Chen Zhiyao placed the snails into the net in her hand, she felt that her hand was already quite heavy with her harvest.
She took two steps forward and was pleasantly surprised to find a huge breathing hole in the upper right corner.
Based on past experience, such a large vent means there must be something big hidden underneath.
An excited Chen Zhiyao immediately scanned the sand below through her X-ray glasses.
Soon, a surge of ecstasy welled up in her eyes, and she quickly dug through the surrounding sand with the shovel in her hand.
As the sandpit grew larger and deeper, a black and white zebra mantis shrimp slowly came into view.
Seeing that she was about to get her hands on this big guy, Chen Zhiyao became excited and dug hard with her sand shovel.
Two minutes later, she caught a giant zebra mantis shrimp in her hand and carefully pulled it out of its hole.
This zebra mantis shrimp is truly astonishing in size, much larger than any I've encountered before.
Chen Zhiyao held it in her hands with great joy and weighed it carefully, feeling that it weighed at least two pounds.
Goodness, that must cost over a thousand yuan!
Looking at this rare and enormous creature, Chen Zhiyao, who was always greedy for money, was overjoyed and couldn't stop smiling.
She held a giant zebra-skinned mantis shrimp in one hand, happily placing it next to her face, and then took out her phone with the other hand to take a photo.
Having mastered various photography skills, Chen Zhiyao cleverly moved the shrimp in her hand closer to the camera.
They managed to make a zebra mantis shrimp that originally weighed only two pounds appear to weigh four or five pounds in the photos.
She learned this photography skill from her father and grandfather.
These anglers are quite cunning. Sometimes they catch a small fish, but they manage to make it look like a big fish in the photos, and then they proudly show it off on their social media.
After the island was upgraded to Diaoyu Islands, Chen Zhiyao also mastered this photography skill.
It may seem a bit shameless, but it's really useful. With it, you'll never have to worry about not catching big fish again.
Just as she put down the prawns she was holding, she heard a noise coming from under a small rock next to her.
Chen Zhiyao grabbed a corner of the reef and then pushed it backward with force.
The large blue crab, which had been hiding under the rocks, suddenly became agitated, extremely unhappy that someone had invaded its territory.
A pair of enormous pincers swung fiercely in the air, as if warning Chen Zhiyao not to come closer.
But how could she give up?
Chen Zhiyao seized the opportunity, quickly grabbed one side of the crab with tongs, and then lifted it up.
Then, she took out a cable tie and skillfully tied the nearly one-pound blue crab up tightly.
Just then, a small head slowly peeked out from a crack in the rocks not far away, its round eyes peering out curiously.
When Chen Zhiyao looked up, she saw her. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a pink octopus.
She quickly went over, bent down, and was about to pick it up when, unexpectedly, the thing suddenly sprayed out a stream of ink.
Chen Zhiyao paused for a moment and saw that the guy had already hidden in the crevice behind him.
Unfortunately, the crevice in the rock was no match for the all-purpose tongs in her hand, and she obediently pulled it out the next second.
She looked at the octopus in her hand, then turned to look at her spoils in the bucket with great delight.
"Haha, I've had a great day."
Chen Zhiyao continued walking forward with the bucket, and soon a colorful coral reef appeared before her eyes.
Suddenly, she saw an extremely beautiful coral fish.
Its pink tail, orange-yellow fins resembling orange segments, and two white horizontal stripes seemed a little mismatched, yet somehow quite pleasing to the eye. This pretty little fish didn't seem afraid of people; Chen Zhiyao quietly approached and then grabbed it in her hand.
The little guy wasn't big; it weighed less than two ounces. Chen Zhiyao admired it for a while, then gently tossed it towards the sea.
"Get out of here!"
With a "plop," the little creature returned to the embrace of the sea and disappeared without a trace in no time.
Chen Zhiyao looked down at the corals that looked like black fungus and reached the tongs in her hand into the gap.
The next second, she pulled out a mantis shrimp that weighed about two or three ounces.
The mantis shrimp also has dark stripes, looking somewhat similar to the zebra mantis shrimp, but its color is lighter.
In addition, the mantis shrimp is generally more slender and elongated, making the two quite easy to distinguish.
Before long, Chen Zhiyao found several plump whelks in the crevice of a petrified coral.
There are quite a few good things in the coral reef. Chen Zhiyao's eyes are like a scanner, and no small seafood can escape her notice.
Longevity Fish +1
Sea urchin +4
Black hair +2
Damselfish +2
Bluefin bream +1
Conger eel +2
Flower snail +7
...
One good thing after another appeared, and Chen Zhiyao was as happy as a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, picking up things until her hands were sore.
As she walked, she suddenly caught sight of something interesting out of the corner of her eye.
Chen Zhiyao ran over excitedly and stopped in front of a small puddle covered with seaweed.
The puddle in front of us was small, only about the size of a long plate, but the conch inside was enormous. This giant conch was at least twenty or thirty centimeters long and very heavy in our hands, probably weighing over two pounds.
As soon as she picked it up, Chen Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised to find two more conch shells directly in front of her, but they were smaller, each weighing only about seven or eight ounces.
By this time, her bucket and three nets were already full, so Chen Zhiyao had to take out a new net.
Then, with great joy, he placed the three conch shells into the new net bag.
Although I wanted to continue beachcombing on the rocky beach, the things in my hands were too heavy to carry.
Seeing that the seawater at her feet had begun to rise, Chen Zhiyao had no choice but to slowly walk back with her bounty.
