Blue coral and mussels followed, and Chen Zhiyao was immediately attracted by a beautiful blue coral in front of her.
She's been diving many times, but she rarely sees corals this blue.
His gaze shifted to the left, where there was a fist-sized object covered in mud and small barnacles.
This was no small stone, but a well-disguised mussel, which Chen Zhiyao still spotted at a glance.
After simply washing off the surface mud and sand in the nearby puddle, I obtained a huge, crescent-shaped mussel.
After tossing the big guy into the bucket, Chen Zhiyao quickly shifted her gaze to the right.
It turns out that at the base of this coral, there was a large blue crab lying on the sand, its entire body hidden in the mud and sand.
When the tide recedes, the seawater carries away some of the sand, and at a glance, you can see a faint crab shape on the ground.
The crab shell on its back is particularly clear.
With a snap of her all-purpose tongs, Chen Zhiyao snatched a large blue crab weighing six or seven ounces.
"La la la..."
Just then, she heard a faint sound of water, and Chen Zhiyao quickly went to look for it.
Immediately afterwards, she noticed two even larger blue corals about two meters directly in front of her.
The sound of water we just heard came from here.
Chen Zhiyao lowered her head slightly and followed the direction of the gaze. She saw that between two strangely shaped corals, there was a shallow puddle.
The pool is surrounded on both sides by lush and vibrant blue corals, as if nature had specially built a strong defense for it.
There are no raging waves or ferocious fish here, making it an extremely safe place to live.
This is why clever and adorable sea fish are particularly fond of such places and often make their home here temporarily.
Chen Zhiyao deftly inserted the multi-purpose clip she was holding into the small pit inside the coral.
Sure enough, in that instant she felt the clamp sink, clearly having caught something.
With a strong pull, a red-spotted fish weighing over a pound appeared before her eyes.
Chen Zhiyao looked at the valuable grouper with great joy, a bright smile spreading across her face.
This single red-spotted fish is worth more than all the other fish caught together.
This is truly an unexpected delight!
Chen Zhiyao walked a few more steps forward in high spirits and soon discovered a small patch of Xi Shi Bei (a type of seafood).
Washed by the seawater, seven or eight beautiful pale purple seashells were revealed, while many more little treasures remained hidden beneath the mud and sand.
Xi Shi Bei Ke is more valuable than ordinary shellfish, so she quickly took out a small rake and plowed the muddy ground in front of her.
The large clams covered in mud were gathered together by a sand rake, and after removing the empty shells without meat, they weighed about four or five pounds.
These empty shells, devoid of meat, became the octopus's new home, where she was lucky enough to find four baby octopuses.
After putting all of these into the net bag, Chen Zhiyao turned around and came to a small patch of small, broken rocks.
Crabs and eels especially like to hide in the crevices of these reefs, and she always pays special attention to these places when she goes beachcombing.
As she approached, she spotted a blue crab weighing about half a pound nestled between two narrow, elongated rocks.
This guy is quite fat, and his color is lighter than the blue we encountered before.
With 25 minutes already gone, Chen Zhiyao felt a little anxious, and her hands unconsciously quickened their pace.
With one hand, she lifted a stone and quickly caught a large octopus weighing about 3 pounds, as well as three orchid crabs, one large and one small.
Reaching the edge of the reef, Chen Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised to find a large eel and a giant blue crab locked in combat.
A three- or four-pound sesame eel was tightly entwined around a large blue crab weighing eight or nine ounces.
The large blue crab inside was not to be trifled with either, its two big pincers clamping tightly around its body.
The eel was covered in wounds and was clearly no match for the giant blue crab.
Fearing that the sesame eel was about to meet its end, Chen Zhiyao quickly reached out with her all-purpose tongs and captured the large, menacing blue crab.
After quickly tying it up, they also caught the sesame eel that was trying to escape.
Having picked up two great finds in one go, Chen Zhiyao easily earned over three hundred yuan, and she couldn't stop smiling.
At this moment, she arrived at the very center of this tidal island, where there was a patch of lush green seaweed.
By this time, the seawater had receded, and without the support of the seawater, the seaweed lay dry and clinging tightly to the ground.
If you look closely, you can see that there are many long, narrow bulges under these seaweeds, and they are slowly wriggling.
Through X-ray glasses, Chen Zhiyao discovered that there were quite a few sea cucumbers hidden under these seaweeds.
Soon, Chen Zhiyao found all the sea cucumbers that were hiding under the seaweed and feeding.
Dachao Island only appears once a month and is extremely difficult to find, so not many people visit it.
Without human interference, these sea cucumbers have grown exceptionally plump, almost all weighing over three ounces, with the larger ones reaching half a pound.
Chen Zhiyao found 11 sea cucumbers in this seaweed patch, which she estimated weighed more than 4 kilograms in total.
During this time, she also picked up two stranded striped peppered snapper and a bluefin tuna. They were all quite large, weighing around two pounds each.
By this time, the four members of the Chen family had basically searched the entire island of Dachao.
"Tangtang's dad, hurry up, haven't you eaten yet?"
"Hurry, hurry, to the left, to the left."
"Haha, I caught a red-spotted fish."
Hearing several excited voices, Chen Zhiyao turned her head and saw her three elders catching fish in a small puddle.
When they landed on the island, none of them brought a water pump, so Chen Weiqiang and Grandpa Chen were now diligently splashing water out.
Yan Shuting, on the other hand, was intently catching fish in a crevice in the rocks.
Chen Zhiyao looked down at the small puddle in front of her, which was about four or five square meters in size, and the water inside was just up to her knees.
Hidden in the crevices of the rocks are many colorful and beautiful coral fish, as well as a great variety of sea snails and sea urchins.
Seeing that the tide was about to come in, Chen Zhiyao quickly went into the water to help splash water out.
Just as the seawater had risen to the outer edge of the island, the group finally managed to drain most of the water out.
Bluefin bream +2
Spinetail +1
Butterflyfish +2
Striped pepper snapper +3
Longevity Fish +1
Flower snail +12
Conch +5
Nine-shrimp + 3
Sea urchin +5
Manually splashing water is tiring, but the results are quite good.
Just as the group was walking out of the puddle, Chen Zhiyao noticed that there was still one fish that had escaped their net at the bottom. It was a gray cuttlefish that looked very similar to the one at the bottom of the puddle, swimming leisurely there.
Chen Zhiyao rushed over and grabbed the clueless creature.
Just then, the cuttlefish suddenly spat out a stream of ink, turning the previously clear water into murky water.
By this time, the sun was high in the sky, and Ōchō Island was about to be submerged by the sea.
"Let's get out of here quickly, or this place will be flooded!" Grandpa Chen urged everyone to leave.
Everyone hurriedly climbed onto the fishing boat, and in less than 5 minutes, the small island was completely submerged by the sea and disappeared without a trace.
Chen Zhiyao and her group left the magical Daichao Island with a wealth of experiences.
