Today is a bright and sunny day. Golden sunlight shines through the clear seawater, making the seabed in the shallows bright and clear.
Even without a headlamp, you can clearly see the colorful, beautiful fish leisurely swimming among the bizarre corals.
Butterflyfish that flutter like butterflies, brightly colored spinytail fish, small and cute clownfish, and colorful blue wrasse.
The little creatures were unaware of the impending danger and were happily chasing and playing with each other.
Just then, Chen Zhiyao slowly approached, and before the fish could react, she quickly extended the all-purpose tongs in her hand.
The first to be targeted is the butterflyfish, which is the most vigilant, when it senses danger approaching.
The poor little guy found himself suddenly unable to move and could only helplessly watch as he was locked in the net.
The other butterflyfish sensed the danger and darted away with a "whoosh".
Alas, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.
Chen Zhiyao shook her head, her gaze fixed on a deep blue spiky fish.
With two of their companions missing, the fish began to feel uneasy, and the more alert ones scattered in all directions.
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao turned her gaze to a seemingly dull-witted blue wrasse.
This guy is the biggest in the school of fish; it looks like it weighs at least two or three pounds.
This guy looked a bit dull, but he was very alert. He darted away as soon as Chen Zhiyao approached.
However, before it could run far, she caught up with it and used a pair of clips to clamp its wide tail.
After this series of commotions, almost all the fish around had fled.
Butterflyfish +1
Spinetail +1
Bluefin bream +1
Although these three fish are not particularly large, they are all expensive coral fish and are very lively, so they should fetch a good price.
Besides the beautiful coral fish, there are many other marine creatures around this coral reef.
Sea urchin +4
Sesame eel +1
Flower snail +6
Sea cucumber +2
Orchid Crab +3
Bread Crab +2
...
After passing through the beautiful coral reef, Chen Zhiyao arrived at a quiet sandy seabed.
Looking down, she saw many bulges of varying sizes directly in front of her.
Chen Zhiyao stopped in front of several huge mounds in a good mood, quickly removing the sand from the surface with her sand shovel to reveal a beautiful conch about the size of a fist.
The shell, as white as porcelain with irregular black patterns, has a wide opening on its back, clearly indicating that it is a broad-mouthed snail. The broad-mouthed snail's back looks like a fine ceramic work of art, which Chen Zhiyao quite likes; she even has several such large shells in her collection at home.
Wide-mouthed snails are not only very beautiful, but their meat is also very delicious. They taste great whether steamed or stir-fried.
Chen Ziyao carefully peeled open the several large bulges in front of her and quickly harvested five beautiful wide-mouthed snails.
These snails are quite large; the smallest weighs half a pound, and the two largest weigh over a pound each.
The net bag in Chen Zhiyao's hand suddenly gained several kilograms of weight, and the corners of her already upturned mouth couldn't help but turn up even more.
Looking around, you can see many small mounds scattered around, mostly filled with whelks and scallops.
The scallops were the most numerous; at a glance, there must have been at least several pounds of them.
However, their prices are relatively low, and the experienced Chen Zhiyao naturally wouldn't waste her time on these worthless scallops.
Her sharp eyes remained fixed on the whelk hidden beneath the sand.
The price of whelks is good right now; even at the purchasing stations, they can sell for forty or fifty yuan per kilogram.
In just a few minutes, Chen Zhiyao's net bag already contained about two kilograms of large whelks.
Just as she was happily preparing to continue digging, she looked up and saw a large mound not far away.
Based on the crawling marks around it, it was clearly a large crab lying on the sand.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Zhiyao realized that it was actually an orchid crab.
This cunning fellow naively believed that with this layer of sand as cover, he could rest easy.
Completely unaware, danger was already creeping in.
Suddenly, a powerful hand attacked from behind.
The poor orchid crab had no time to react and was suddenly and unexpectedly pulled out of the sand by Chen Zhiyao. "Wow, it's quite a size!" the orchid crab exclaimed.
With a broad smile, Chen Zhiyao took a cable tie from her handbag and quickly tied up the large, menacing crab.
Soon, she stopped next to a rock with many small holes.
The small holes in the rocks provide natural nests for the snails.
However, she wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the conch shells climbing on the rocks at that moment; instead, she focused her attention on the crevices in the rocks below.
The crevice in the rock wasn't very big, and although the creature inside had tried its best to shrink back, a large green pincer was still sticking out.
With the all-purpose tongs extended downwards, a large blue crab weighing about seven or eight ounces was pulled out in the next second.
After settling the large crab, Chen Zhiyao turned her attention to the corroded and riddled rock in front of her.
In no time, she found four flower snails and three pig snails in these pitted holes.
Further ahead, Chen Zhiyao encountered three dwarf corals that looked just like flowers.
Unfortunately, these corals, which looked like flowers, were actually grayish-black. They looked old, as if they were moldy. Chen Zhiyao examined the three corals in front of her, then walked over to one of them.
In no time, the net bag contained two palm-sized mantis shrimps and a three-ounce mantis shrimp.
Chen Zhiyao continued to explore this mysterious and surprising sea area.
As she walked, she saw an area ahead where the seaweed grew exceptionally lush. Experience told her that there must be a lot of good stuff hidden there.
She gently parted the dense seaweed and saw several transparent little shrimp playing.
These little shrimp are very wary. Just as she was about to grab the net, she discovered that the little guys had already disappeared without a trace.
Looking inside, Chen Zhiyao noticed several plump sea cucumbers at the base of the seaweed.
They weren't very big, but they looked to weigh about three ounces each. Chen Zhiyao happily picked them all up.
Immediately afterwards, she found a large conch weighing nearly a pound next to her.
As Chen Zhiyao walked through the lush seaweed, she suddenly saw a black thing right in front of her.
From a distance, it looks like a lump of black poop.
Chen Zhiyao not only didn't find it disgusting, but instead swam over quickly with a face full of excitement.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a giant sea cucumber. This giant sea cucumber, which looks like poop, may be a bit ugly, but for such a large sea cucumber, it's not cheap.
Chen Zhiyao quickly put the sea cucumber into the net bag, her face full of the joy of her harvest.
