Chapter 440 Scavenging for Seafood on the Reef Island (Part 2)



Chen Zhiyao happily put the large blue crab into the net bag, and then continued to explore the puddle full of surprises in front of her.

The puddle was full of lush green seaweed, attracting many greedy little creatures.

Pushing aside a few dark green water plants, Chen Zhiyao swiftly picked up a palm-sized mantis shrimp from underneath.

These shrimp are quite plump, and they even have roe on them.

She glanced at the plump mantis shrimp, and all she could think about were steamed shrimp, garlic shrimp, and grilled shrimp.

One was definitely not enough, so she diligently cleared away all the seaweed in front of her and then harvested two more mantis shrimp of the same size.

Besides the prawns, I was surprised to find a black cat weighing over a pound hiding in a crevice in the corner.

This guy was very perceptive. Seeing Chen Zhiyao slowly approaching, he immediately escaped from the crevice in the rock.

Immediately afterwards, she swam quickly to another, more secluded crevice in the rocks nearby.

Seeing the black cat run away, Chen Zhiyao quickly followed and blocked it in the crevice between the rocks.

The next second, the multi-purpose clip in my hand firmly clamped it.

This rocky island was originally hidden deep underwater, and the low tide period was relatively short each day.

Seeing that the entire island had been exposed, Chen Zhiyao unconsciously quickened her pace of beachcombing.

Sea urchin +4

Oyster snail +3

Flower snail +4

Spicy snail +9

Orchid Crab +2

Bread Crab +3

Octopus +3

...

As she walked, Chen Zhiyao suddenly stopped. Before her lay a strangely shaped reef.

She lowered her head slightly, her gaze instantly drawn to a round rock to her right.

On the brownish-yellow reef, a beautiful whelk is struggling to climb up little by little.

This whelk is exceptionally large, weighing at least two ounces, and its patterns are particularly vibrant and beautiful.

Chen Zhiyao happily picked up the big thing and placed it into the bucket next to her.

Immediately afterwards, he reached out and grabbed the rock in front of him, then forcefully lifted it up.

In an instant, there was a loud "splash" as the stone was overturned and water splashed everywhere.

However, at that moment, a large, green crab suddenly darted out from under the rocks.

It was a large blue crab weighing about a pound, but it was quite frightened and was frantically running away.

"Wow, these crabs are really plump!" Chen Zhiyao exclaimed excitedly, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Before she finished speaking, she gave chase like an arrow released from a bow. The fleeing blue crab was extremely fast, weaving left and right, and soon disappeared under another large reef.

Having finally found such a large blue crab, Chen Zhiyao was not about to give up.

She immediately crouched down, her eyes fixed on the crevice in the rock, and without hesitation, she reached into the crevice with the all-purpose tongs in her hand.

The large crab, which had been waving its big pincers in the crevice of the rock, was suddenly pulled out by her.

Looking at the heavy blue crab in her hand, Chen Zhiyao laughed triumphantly, "Hmph, let's see where you can run now."

Just as she took out the cable tie, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a piece of seaweed wrapped around the crab's leg.

Chen Zhiyao was about to throw away the seaweed when she suddenly noticed something shiny underneath it.

Curious, she leaned closer to take a look and was surprised to find that it was a pinkish-purple pearl.

The pearl was as big as her fingertip and was very round and full.

Chen Zhiyao held the beautiful pearl in her hand with a beaming smile.

"Haha, looks like I'm in luck today. I actually managed to find such a beautiful pearl. A pearl that big would look really nice as a pendant."

Chen Zhiyao looked at the beautiful pinkish-purple pearl in her hand with great affection, already thinking about how to modify it.

Just as she was filled with joy, she noticed out of the corner of her eye a large nest of snails in a crevice on her left. Chen Zhiyao quickly and carefully put the pearl into her pocket, then took the bucket and headed towards the snail nest.

These snails clung to the rocks, forming a dense, clustered mass.

Today's harvest was pretty good. Chen Zhiyao didn't kill them all; she only picked up some of the larger snails and left the smaller ones here to continue to reproduce.

Just as I was picking up the bucket and net, preparing to continue walking, a brightly colored little fish suddenly swam out from beside my feet.

This guy is very agile. Just as Chen Zhiyao picked up the clip, it flashed past her.

"Don't run!" Chen Zhiyao immediately chased after him.

Fortunately, the surrounding water had mostly dried up, leaving the fish with few escape routes, and she quickly caught up with it.

Chen Zhiyao was chasing after the fish closely, preparing to grab it, when the fish suddenly turned left.

Then he quickly hid under a rock to his left and front.

Actually, Chen Zhiyao was quite tired from chasing, so hiding in the crevice of the rock has made things easier for her.

She fiddled with the all-purpose tongs in her hand for a couple of seconds in the crack in the rock, and the next second, a brightly colored blue wrasse was pulled out.

When she looked up, Chen Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised to find two abalone, one large and one small, clinging to the side of the rock.

The larger one was as big as her fist, and even the smaller one looked to weigh about two ounces.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this bluefin tuna to be a lucky charm, otherwise I would have missed these two big abalone."

With that, Chen Zhiyao happily pocketed the two plump abalones.

As she turned around, her foot suddenly slipped, and she tilted towards the sea.

In her panic, she grabbed a rock about half her height to steady herself.

At this moment, Chen Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised to find that there was actually a huge squid weighing nearly a pound hidden under the rock she was holding.

She immediately bent down, ready to pick up the big thing.

However, before she could make a move, the squid suddenly became agitated, bursting forth with powerful energy and swimming forward with lightning speed.

Despite the agility of the squid, Chen Zhiyao appeared confident.

With a swift movement of her arm, the versatile clips in her hand struck out with deadly precision, clamping onto the squid's body.

In an instant, the squid, which had been trying to escape, became obedient as if it had been frozen in place.

The marine resources on this rocky island are very abundant; almost every rock you turn over hides a surprise underneath.

Octopus +3

Nine-shrimp +1

Horseshoe snails +4

Flower snail +8

Conger eel +1

Orchid Crab +1

...

Not long after, Chen Zhiyao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared straight ahead.

Haha, she's discovered a treasure stone that holds immense wealth!

Immediately afterwards, she ran forward excitedly.
