Chen Zhiyao was lucky; as soon as she walked into the ditch, she saw a large blue crab having breakfast.
This guy was happily eating a sea fish that was several times larger than himself.
Upon closer inspection, she realized it was eating a grouper, and it looked quite fresh. Chen Zhiyao, delighted, quietly approached the large blue crab that was diligently eating.
This guy was really unlucky. He had just caught a big fish, and before he could even take a few bites, it got caught in the clamp and was suspended in mid-air.
The grouper, which had been held tightly, fell to the ground because it was too heavy.
The giant blue crab, still clueless about the situation, tried to grab the fallen grouper again.
Soon, it was horrified to discover that no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't move, and its two large pincers were out of control.
Chen Zhiyao didn't care about its feelings, quickly tied it up, and then threw it into the bucket next to her.
Then, with a big smile, he picked up the grouper from the ground; it was a pearl grouper.
This fish isn't very big, it looks like it weighs only about a pound.
She casually lifted the fish's gills to take a look; they were still bright red inside, indicating that it had only recently died.
Large blue crab +1
Pearl Grouper +1
The fish had just died, so I'll keep it for lunch.
"Hehe, just in time to make steamed grouper, I'm really in for a treat today!" Chen Zhiyao said happily to herself.
She made a good discovery as soon as she entered, and her smile became even brighter.
After taking only two steps, Chen Zhiyao suddenly stepped on something soft.
Immediately afterwards, my ankle tightened, as if something had wrapped around it.
"ah!"
Chen Zhiyao screamed in fright and quickly took two steps back.
"Awoooooo..."
The snowball behind them, no longer intimidated, quickly ran over, howling wildly.
As soon as she regained her footing, she looked down at what she had stepped on and saw that it was a giant octopus.
This octopus is over 30 centimeters long, with several tentacles tightly wrapped around the surrounding rocks.
One of the tentacles was slightly raised, indicating that it must have hooked her foot earlier.
The giant octopus had a very strong suction, so Chen Zhiyao didn't dare to touch it. She simply used her universal tongs to pick it up.
This thing is quite heavy, probably three or four pounds.
As soon as it was put in the bucket, the guy started climbing all over the inside, looking like he was about to escape at any moment.
This octopus looked restless, so she quickly picked up the net and placed it upside down over the bucket.
After thinking about it, she felt that the octopus was too aggressive, and a single net wouldn't be enough to subdue it.
So they placed a heavy stone on top of it.
"Let's see how you escape now." With that, she picked up a net and continued walking into the ditch.
This ditch is usually hidden under the sea, but today, with the high tide, the seawater receded far back, allowing it to see the light of day again.
There are quite a few good things here. As soon as I entered, I saw a lot of abalone on the stone walls on both sides.
Chen Zhiyao was delighted and happily used the multi-purpose tweezers to pick off the little treasures one by one.
Upon seeing this, Xue Tuan eagerly ran over to join in the fun.
The little guy, imitating Chen Zhiyao, excitedly slapped an abalone in front of him several times with his dirty big paws.
But even after its claws had hurt, the abalone in front of it still hadn't fallen.
Then, in a fit of anger, it bit at it a few more times, but there was still no reaction.
The little guy got bored, turned around and abandoned Chen Zhiyao, running away without looking back.
However, she was busy searching for abalone on the stone wall and had no time to pay attention to the naughty little guy.
The abalone here are really big, each one is almost as big as her fist, and they weigh about three or four ounces each.
To her, the small ditch in the middle of the boulder was like a treasure trove.
Chen Zhiyao searched for treasures inside as if she were on a treasure hunt.
Within two minutes, she had picked up 15 abalone, which weighed more than four pounds in total.
Besides these abalone, there are also many large conch hidden at the bottom of the rock face.
Horseshoe snails +3
Spider snail +2
Conch +5
Carrying the heavy net bag, Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed, and her steps became much lighter.
And she didn't even notice that Snowball had already run away, her eyes filled with the delicious seafood.
Just then, she saw a blue crab and a small moray eel fighting in the corner. The blue crab, though small in size, was extremely ferocious, and the moray eel was covered in wounds and looked like it was on the verge of death.
Thinking about how these eels would be sold off if they were to die, they wouldn't fetch a good price.
Chen Zhiyao couldn't care less about watching the commotion and quickly stepped forward to rescue the eel.
Although the orchid crab wasn't very big, it still weighed about three or four ounces, so she picked it up as well.
Conger eel +1
Orchid Crab +1
The little ditch held far more treasures than just these. As soon as she looked down, she saw many small shellfish with beautiful patterns. While these pretty little shellfish weren't as expensive as crabs or eels, they were plentiful.
You can grab a handful of plump little seashells, and they're quite heavy; they're mostly meaty.
Without saying a word, Chen Zhiyao squatted down and quickly stuffed all sorts of small seafood from the ground into the net bag in her hand.
She had only filled the net bag halfway when suddenly she felt as if she had stepped on something.
Unlike the soft octopus from before, this thing is a bit hard.
She looked down and saw a huge blue crab emerging from the sand and mud.
This crab was bigger than any she had ever seen, and its shell was covered with hard spines, making it look quite menacing.
It must have been hurt by being stepped on earlier, because now it's raising its two big pincers high, looking quite menacing.
"Sorry, I stepped on you and hurt you."
While Chen Zhiyao apologized, her all-purpose tongs swiftly and accurately clamped the large object in her hand.
The originally aggressive crab was quickly trapped, just like a giant meat dumpling for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Looking at the large blue crab in her hand, Chen Zhiyao smiled with satisfaction, and then continued to put various shellfish from the ground into the net.
She moved quickly and soon picked up all the small seashells near her feet, which weighed at least four or five pounds in total.
The ditch was just ahead, and she had thought that was all there was to it.
Unexpectedly, there was another small section on the left, and it was densely packed with beautiful shellfish. I'm rich! "So many shellfish, am I seeing things? It looks like someone is raising them here."
Chen Zhiyao blinked and realized that these were all real, so she immediately squatted down to pick up seashells.
We're rich! We're rich!
