As the tide recedes completely, the rocky beach in front of us reveals even more treasures.
Coconut snails and conch shells, these big treasures, are everywhere, and they are all enormous.
The large conch weighing over a pound and the giant coconut snail weighing two or three pounds made Chen Zhiyao grin from ear to ear.
After walking along the coastline for a while, she picked up half a net bag, which weighed more than ten kilograms.
Sea cucumber +3
Abalone +4
Mantis shrimp +4
Sea urchin +5
Blue Crab +3
Orchid Crab +4
...
There were also quite a few other high-end seafood items, and before I knew it, my bucket was almost overflowing.
As she walked, Chen Zhiyao noticed a huge reef not far away.
Based on her sixth sense, she felt there might be something good hidden over there, so she immediately ran over with excited little steps.
As she approached, Chen Zhiyao's previously unremarkable eyes instantly shone with a dazzling light.
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, a mixture of surprise and delight:
"Haha, I'm so lucky today!"
Looking down, I saw a huge little green dragon lying peacefully in the sun next to the reef.
However, what surprised her was not the little guy in front of her.
Continuing our gaze, we discovered a nest of baby green dragons in a small puddle below the reef, and they were all quite large.
Chen Zhiyao was overjoyed and immediately and carefully put the little green dragons into the bucket.
There are a total of five large and three small, making a total of eight little green dragons.
Chen Zhiyao put the three small ones back in their original place, and as for the larger ones, she put them all into the bucket at her feet.
"Splash splash splash..."
She was watching the little green dragon in Tongli laughing foolishly when a wave crashed over her.
"The tide is coming in."
Chen Zhiyao was about to turn back when she unexpectedly saw several abalone on a rock to her left.
Moreover, these abalones didn't look like the ones we usually see; they were black.
"Maybe it's because the soil and water are different, so they grow differently too," Chen Zhiyao muttered to herself.
Although these abalones looked a bit strange, she still pried them all off with ease.
It's not easy for it to grow this big; we can't let it go to waste.
She's never tried black abalone before, so she doesn't know if it tastes good.
After walking two or three meters forward, Chen Zhiyao suddenly bent down and groped around in a small puddle.
A moment later, she pulled an enormous mussel out of a crevice in the rocks. This giant mussel was almost as big as her palm; she had never seen such a large mussel before.
"These are huge! I wonder what the seafood here eats to grow up like this. How come everything is so big?"
As she spoke, Chen Zhiyao bent down again and began to grope around at the bottom of the murky puddle.
The next second, she pulled another enormous mussel from the puddle, even bigger than the previous one.
However, this was just the beginning. One after another, she dug out huge mussels from the bottom of the puddle.
These mussels are all exceptionally large, each one several inches larger than an adult's palm.
Although mussels aren't valuable, Chen Zhiyao had never seen one this big before, and she was determined to try it.
In no time, she pulled out 10 huge mussels, filling the net bag that had just contained whelks and coconut snails.
Actually, there were quite a few more in the puddle, but they were smaller. She didn't even look at the smaller ones and just climbed up.
When putting them into the net, Chen Zhiyao was careful to use the mussels to surround the valuable coconut snails and conches.
At first glance, it looks like a net bag of worthless mussels.
Then, she picked up two large pieces of seaweed from the sea and used them to cover up the various treasures in the bucket.
Having disguised herself, Chen Zhiyao noticed that the water had already risen to her ankles, and she quickened her pace as she walked back.
They also picked up all the seafood they encountered along the way.
Flower snail +8
Conch +3
Coconut snail +3
Blue crab +2
Mantis shrimp +5
Black sea bream +1
Cuttlefish +2
...
Everything edible was stuffed into the net bag in his hand. Even if it was hard to take back, it was good to keep it for the next couple of days.
When they reached the point where the rocky beach met the sandy beach, Chen Zhiyao's two nets and a large bucket were filled with all kinds of delicious seafood.
She looked at her haul with satisfaction and prepared to transport the items back to the ship.
Just then, she felt something strange on her foot. Looking down, she saw a huge swimming crab crawling over her foot.
Chen Zhiyao was speechless. How could someone as big as her not see?
Why did you have to crawl over her feet so blatantly?
However, her attention was quickly drawn to the large crab.
This huge creature was as big as her face, with a shell as hard as iron, and two enormous pincers that gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
Chen Zhiyao was startled; this giant swimming crab must have weighed at least two pounds.
Since she had run into him, she naturally couldn't let him go, and she immediately chased after him excitedly.
The big guy seemed to realize her intentions and quickened his pace, darting into a cave.
This was a crevice in a large rock, and it looked quite deep. After a short while, the creature disappeared from sight.
Chen Zhiyao refused to give up, lay down on the ground, and reached into the hole to try to pick the crab out.
The cave was very deep; she couldn't reach it at all.
She had no choice but to resort to the old method and get a long tree branch.
This swimming crab is clearly smarter than the orchid crab from before. Chen Zhiyao poked it with a bamboo stick for a long time, but it didn't take the bait.
Finally, she took an octopus, tied it to a tree branch, and that's how she lured it out.
Extra-large blue crab +1
Just as Chen Zhiyao finished tying up the large crab in her hand, she looked up and saw something particularly brightly colored swimming past her.
Her first thought was that it was spicy strips, but after looking at it a few more times, it looked a bit like a conger eel. It was the first time she had ever seen a colorful conger eel, half dark blue and half light yellow, looking both dangerous and somewhat beautiful.
Although it looked like a moray eel, she wasn't quite sure if it was.
Will it bite? Is it poisonous? Those are even less clear.
This guy didn't look like someone to mess with, so Chen Zhiyao wasn't greedy. She took her catch and ran away as fast as she could.
