Although I was a little reluctant, my hands were already full and I simply couldn't hold any more of my treasures.
Chen Zhiyao slowly raised her head, her gaze sweeping over the mysterious and enchanting seabed, before reluctantly swimming towards her mother who was busy not far away.
As she swam, she kept looking around, as if afraid of missing some priceless treasure.
Unfortunately, apart from some worthless scallops and clams, we didn't find any other valuable seafood along the way.
Soon, she arrived at a particularly quiet and bright place.
The area is surrounded by lush seaweed, which looks emerald green, just like a forest on the shore.
A group of small, delicate fish were swimming happily, their bodies shimmering with an orange-gold light, looking especially beautiful in the sunlight.
The rays of sunlight filtering through the seawater seemed to drape the entire scene in a soft veil.
Words failed her; all Chen Zhiyao could say was, "So beautiful." The underwater world, bathed in sunlight, looked like crystal-clear glass, so beautiful it was impossible to look away.
Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but raise her head, admiring the dreamlike and beautiful underwater world before her.
At that moment, not far ahead, Yan Shuting was bending over and laboriously turning over heavy stones.
There are many good things in the sea here, with all kinds of conch and crabs one after another, and even precious seafood such as small green lobsters and big sea cucumbers.
She not only didn't feel tired, but became happier and happier.
Turning over each stone is like opening a blind box; you can never guess what surprise will appear next.
After a pleasant and busy period, the nets that Yan Shuting brought were finally filled to the brim with all kinds of delicious seafood.
She stopped turning over the stones and began to sort through the fish she had just caught.
Crabs weighing over half a pound, sea urchins bigger than a fist, large conch shells weighing one or two pounds, and various brightly colored and beautiful coral fish...
These items filled five large net bags, and they were so heavy that I almost couldn't lift them.
With so many things, it must be worth at least two or three thousand yuan. Yan Shuting couldn't wait to go back.
Just as I was feeling happy, I looked up and saw my daughter gazing quietly at the azure sea in front of her.
She thought there was something good ahead, and looked several times before realizing there was nothing there.
Then she curiously lowered her head to examine the several net bags that her daughter was tightly clutching in her hands.
Each net bag was filled with all sorts of seafood, so full it was almost overflowing.
Among them, several enormous coconut snails were particularly eye-catching. They're so big, I wonder if they contain any Melo pearls?
In addition, many colorful fish were jumping and struggling inside the net, seemingly wanting to break free of the cage and return to the embrace of the sea.
Seeing this, Yan Shuting thought to herself: This girl has really made a lot of progress today.
However, looking at his own results, which were also quite substantial, he smiled with satisfaction.
She then waved gently to her daughter and made a simple gesture, indicating that it was time to head home.
Upon seeing Yan Shuting's actions, Chen Zhiyao immediately snapped out of her daze and obediently nodded.
The two men struggled to lift the heavy nets and happily swam towards the fishing boat.
The mother and daughter swam forward for more than ten meters when their eyes were simultaneously drawn to a huge figure that appeared directly in front of them.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a huge fish swimming leisurely and slowly not far away.
Based on Chen Zhiyao's experience, this guy weighs at least 20 kilograms.
Its enormous body stood out like a crane among chickens compared to the tiny, delicate fish around it, making it seem completely out of place.
When Chen Zhiyao and Yan Shuting saw this huge creature, their previously tired eyes instantly brightened.
The mother and daughter exchanged a knowing glance and nodded in understanding, secretly plotting how to catch the large fish and bring it home. As they closed the distance between themselves and the fish, its true form was finally revealed to them.
Suddenly, the large fish in front of them opened its gaping maw and lunged at a small group of coral fish with lightning speed.
The speed and power were astonishing!
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the fish's mouth was filled with neatly arranged teeth, each one extremely sharp.
At this moment, the mother and daughter finally realized that it was actually a ferocious great white shark!
In an instant, an indescribable sense of fear surged into their hearts like a raging tide.
Chen Zhiyao felt as if her heart had been suddenly gripped tightly by an invisible hand, her heartbeat quickening as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
Yan Shuting, who was standing to the side, became so nervous that her breathing became rapid and her chest heaved violently.
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly. Just as the mother and daughter were swimming rapidly to the side with all their might, almost frantically.
The small fish that were already being chased by the shark suddenly rushed straight toward the two people at an astonishing speed.
But this seemingly leisurely shark was not idle. It would open its huge mouth from time to time to swallow the small fish in front of it.
Each time it opened its mouth, a powerful surge of water would rush out, greedily swallowing the terrified fish around it.
Seeing that the school of fish was about to catch up with them, the mother and daughter were instantly terrified, their faces turning as pale as a sheet of paper.
Chen Zhiyao's body began to tremble violently, as if her heart was about to stop beating.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the two hurriedly dodged and hid behind a large, protruding rock nearby.
The large rock acted as a natural barrier, providing the mother and daughter with a relatively safe haven for the time being.
The sharks behind continued to chase the school of fish, gradually swimming away and disappearing into the vast deep sea.
The mother and daughter hid behind the boulder, barely daring to breathe. Only after a while, when they were sure the shark had gone far away, did they breathe a sigh of relief.
The two glanced in the direction the shark had swum away, and, confirming it wouldn't be coming back, quickly grabbed their belongings and fled.
The mother and daughter were terrified of sharks on the seabed, while on the fishing boat, everyone was beaming with joy.
I don't know what good luck I had today, but I actually encountered a huge school of sea bass.
Moreover, each one is quite large, with the smallest weighing four or five pounds and the largest even weighing more than ten pounds.
For an hour straight, the fish in the vicinity seemed to have made a pact, taking the bait one after another.
