Chen Zhiyao had just filled a net full of coral fish when she discovered a large nest of baby arowanas.
This nest of baby dragons lay neatly lined up in a small ditch.
The level of neatness is so impressive that even someone with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder would have to give it a thumbs up.
These little green dragons are slow and have little attack power.
Chen Zhiyao wasn't in a hurry to catch them all; instead, she started counting them with a big smile.
“One, two, three… eleven.”
There were eight large and three small ones, a total of 11 little green dragons, truly a prosperous family.
The three smaller ones were all weighing less than three ounces, so Chen Zhiyao simply ignored them.
Then, with great satisfaction, he pocketed the remaining eight lobsters.
The two largest ones weighed nearly 1.5 jin (approximately 0.75 kg), the other two weighed about 1 jin (approximately 0.5 kg), and the remaining three weighed about 7 or 8 liang (approximately 350-400 grams).
This litter of baby dragons weighed over seven pounds, making Chen Zhiyao beam with joy. If they had tails, they'd probably be wagging them.
Having just caught the lobster and before she could even get up, Chen Zhiyao noticed that the sky above her head had suddenly darkened.
Looking up, I spotted a giant shark twice my size.
This huge creature looked down at the fish below the coral reef, as if it were choosing its food.
Great White Shark: Let me see, which lucky kid is it?
Looking at the giant shark above, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but tremble. With her small frame, it could easily swallow her whole with a single, gaping mouth.
Actually, these ferocious sharks won't bite unless you actively attack them, but she was still scared.
Chen Zhiyao usually dives in nearshore areas, and this was the first time she had ever encountered a shark.
Moreover, these are giant sharks that are even larger than themselves.
Chen Zhiyao felt her heart rate was about to exceed 200, and she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest at any moment.
At this moment, she dared not move an inch, for fear of attracting the attention of the giant shark above.
Chen Weiqiang spotted the enormous creature two minutes earlier than her and had already arrived in front of his daughter.
He first gently patted Chen Zhiyao's arm to comfort her, then pulled her behind a clump of tall corals to hide. In front of them was a cluster of tall red corals, with some smaller yellow corals nearby, perfectly concealing the father and daughter.
The father and daughter found a good hiding place.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had just dodged and scared away a group of small blue fish that lived inside the coral.
These little fish were so brightly colored and eye-catching that Chen Zhiyao was terrified, fearing that they would attract the big sharks above.
Fortunately, the small fish also sensed the danger and did not swim away. Instead, they quickly hid in another clump of coral nearby.
The father and daughter, now safely hidden, breathed a sigh of relief and turned their gaze back to the great white shark above.
This thing was leisurely swimming slowly on the surface, as if it were patrolling its own territory, exuding an aura of "I'm not someone to mess with."
Coupled with a set of sharp, white teeth, it looks particularly frightening.
And right below it, there is a group of colorful coral fish.
The most numerous of them are butterflyfish, scorpionfish, and some smaller red fish.
These little guys are unaware that danger is quietly approaching, and are still playing and frolicking carefree.
I don't know if it's because these small fish are too small, but the shark doesn't seem to care about them and keeps slowly circling above them, unwilling to leave.
The father and daughter held hands, their faces filled with tension as they waited for the shark to leave.
At this moment, time seemed to pass very slowly. It felt like a long time had passed, but in reality, only two minutes had gone by.
I don't know how long I waited, but I finally saw the shark above rushing down to the left.
The two looked in the direction the shark was moving and saw a large group of beautiful pink sea fish. There were about twenty or thirty of these pretty little pink fish, not too big or too small.
The shark was very fast; it swooped down before the group of pretty little fish could even react.
With a large opening of its mouth, it devoured several fish in one go.
The fish were terrified and scattered in all directions.
However, no matter how fast these little guys are, they are still no match for this giant shark.
Compared to the panicked little fish that were running around in all directions, the great white shark was as relaxed as if it were having a buffet.
They ate from the left and from the right, and soon swallowed more than half of the fish.
The school of fish was not large to begin with, and they were all wiped out in less than two minutes, leaving only a faint smell of blood in the water.
These little guys aren't even enough to fill the shark's teeth.
Before long, the great white shark, still not full, chased after a group of larger sea fish in the distance.
Seeing that the ferocious shark had already gone far away, the father and daughter finally relaxed, but they didn't dare to stay there any longer.
The two men lowered their heads and quickly gathered up the net bag they had just placed on the ground, preparing to leave.
Before she could even leave, Chen Zhiyao noticed a strange, large creature behind her. This unidentified creature was covered in tentacles, resembling an alien creature from a movie.
This was Chen Zhiyao's first time visiting Wanyu Island, and she had never seen this unidentified creature before.
Then she looked at her father.
However, Chen Weiqiang quickly shook his head, indicating that he did not recognize the object.
Not knowing whether the thing was poisonous or electrified, the two dared not touch it and wished they could slip away as fast as they could.
Now, the father and daughter dared not delay any longer, and they grabbed their things and swam frantically toward the fishing boat.
The two of them had caught quite a lot of seafood, and even though they were interrupted by the great white shark, they were still carrying dozens of kilograms of stuff.
Fortunately, the water had buoyancy, and the father and daughter were both strong and good swimmers, which allowed them to bring all that stuff up.
When Grandpa Chen and Yan Shuting heard that there were sharks underwater, they turned pale with fright and pulled the two of them to check.
Seeing that the two were indeed uninjured, he told the father and daughter to quickly change their clothes.
However, I won't dare let the two of them go into the water so casually anymore.
The familiar nearshore areas are fine, but in deep-sea areas like this, you never know what big creatures might be lurking in the water.
Chen Zhiyao and Chen Weiqiang are very resilient; they had completely calmed down by this time.
The father and daughter chatted happily about how big and ferocious the shark they had just seen was. When they got excited, they even started gesturing wildly.
The sheer audacity of these two left Grandpa Chen and Yan Shuting, who were listening to the story, speechless.
Aren't these father and daughter afraid?
