Releasing the adorable pufferfish in her hand, Chen Zhiyao swam forward five or six meters and then came to another piece of ugly coral.
Above the coral, a pair of butterflyfish with yellow patterns are gazing intimately at each other.
Chen Zhiyao never expected that she would be fed dog food by fish in the sea.
The moment the hand was raised, before the all-purpose tongs could even reach the fish, the wary fish quickly swam away, leaving only a string of small bubbles behind.
Having missed out on a pair of butterflyfish, Chen Zhiyao had no choice but to turn her attention back to the fish inside the coral.
As soon as she got back, she discovered a fish the size of her palm hiding behind the coral.
This little guy is quite brave. After hearing the noise, he slowly poked his little head out and looked towards Chen Zhiyao.
Fish watching the fun
Moreover, this little guy wasn't afraid of people at all. When she approached, he not only didn't run away, but also curiously continued to look over.
Then, she caught him with her all-purpose clip.
Sea fish +1
Curiosity can kill not only cats, but also fish.
Besides this extremely bold fish, several peppered snapper were also hiding in the coral.
Although this pepper snapper looks rather ugly, it tastes very good, and Chen Zhiyao quite likes to eat it.
I tapped the coral a few times with the multi-tool in my hand, and then two dark black pepper snapper swam out from it.
Pepper Snapper +2
Chen Zhiyao moved slowly, almost blending into the sea creatures.
The fish nearby weren't afraid of her; some even quietly swam to her feet and waist.
Suddenly, Chen Zhiyao felt something gently touching her. She turned her head and saw that it was a group of small white pomfret.
She looked closely to see if there were any pomfret, but unfortunately the sea was too shallow, and there were mostly white pomfret and a few golden pomfret.
Pomfret isn't expensive, so Chen Zhiyao felt it was a bit of a dilemma—it would be a waste not to keep it, but it would take up too much space.
Just as she was still struggling with her decision, a small group of carefree red sea bream slowly passed by her.
Upon seeing the group of pink and tender red sea bream, Chen Zhiyao didn't hesitate for a second and quickly reached out with her all-purpose tongs.
Unaware of the impending danger, Chen Zhiyao silently followed behind and caught several of the larger red sea bream.
By the time the fish finally realized what was happening and started to scatter, she had already caught seven or eight large red sea bream weighing over two pounds each.
Yesterday, small red sea bream were selling for 68 yuan per jin (500g), but today, these two- or three-jin (1.5-2.5kg) ones can sell for at least 70 or 80 yuan.
Seeing the fish begin to disperse, the greedy Chen Zhiyao immediately chased after them and quickly caught two more red sea bream weighing over a pound each.
She returned to the coral reef after the school of fish had disappeared without a trace.
When she caught the red snapper, she saw a large eel as thick as a wrist in the crevices of the coral and reef.
When Chen Zhiyao returned, the eel was still there, quietly remaining in its original spot.
giant eel
Chen Zhiyao used her all-purpose tongs to pick up the enormous sea eel, which was thicker than her wrist.
This eel is over a meter long. Luckily, it can't move right now, otherwise it wouldn't be easy to stuff it into a net.
Large eel +1
Although she was weightless in the sea and couldn't feel the weight of the eel, she guessed it weighed at least six or seven pounds just by looking at its size.
A moment later, she saw a huge conch shell in a crevice of the coral, and there were many other conches hidden in the corner.
Conch +2
Flower snail +7
Horseshoe snails +4
Spider snail +2
...
There are quite a lot of sea snails here on the coral reef; the nets specifically for collecting sea snails are almost full.
Chen Zhiyao swam forward for another ten meters or so and soon came to a bare area with soft, fine sand underneath, which made the seawater much clearer.
The most eye-catching thing on the seabed in front of us is that giant conch shell.
This thing is as big as my fist, and it's light blue all over; it's quite good-looking.
Beautiful sea snail
The giant conch was very alert and, sensing Chen Zhiyao's approach, quickly moved forward.
However, no matter how fast this guy ran, he couldn't outrun the all-purpose clip behind him, and ended up joining the other conch shells.
Large conch +1
At that moment, two tiny bubbles suddenly popped out of the mud and sand in the right corner.
There is something.
Chen Zhiyao swam over immediately, and with a few quick movements of her all-purpose tongs, she dug out a large blue crab from the mud, estimated to weigh six or seven ounces.
Then, she dug out a seven or eight-ounce coconut snail from a fist-sized bulge next to her.
After placing the coconut snail, Chen Zhiyao looked up and caught a glimpse of a circular outline in the sand in front of her.
Can you guess what kind of fish this is?
This thing looks flat and quite big, like a sewer cover.
There is a slightly protruding thing at the end, which looks like a tail.
Chen Zhiyao had already turned on her X-ray glasses for beachcombing; what was actually inside was a manta ray.
They are of average height, look big, but have a flat body and weigh at most about 10 kilograms.
Chen Zhiyao slowly swam towards the disguised stingray.
This fish actually takes up quite a bit of space; just one of these probably takes up most of the net.
However, since it weighed about 10 kilograms, it could sell for three or four hundred yuan, so Chen Ziyao reluctantly bought it.
Manta Ray +1
The fish was in a net bag, and the seawater washed away the mud and sand covering its body, revealing a smiling face that looked quite cute.
Just then, a baby manta ray, no bigger than two of her palms, suddenly darted out with a gloomy face.
Unlike the big one with a smiling face, this little guy had a sad face and looked adorably ugly.
The stingray was too small, so Chen Zhiyao decided to let it go.
"Little friend, I don't hire child laborers here. Come back to me when you're older."
The baby manta ray, which had been foolishly approaching her, suddenly felt a chill down its spine and quickly ran away.
Seeing a rather large fish swimming by not far away, Chen Zhiyao quickly chased after it.
What are you looking at?
That round, plump body, that fierce "What are you looking at?" expression—isn't that the pufferfish she just released?
What a small world! She ran into her again.
However, the pufferfish didn't want to run into her and swam forward desperately, afraid that if it was too late it would be caught and teased again.
Chen Zhiyao didn't actually intend to chase after it; at that moment, she was stunned by the sea cucumber in front of her.
I don't know why, but I haven't been able to post pictures since last night (*?????).
I spent the whole morning carefully preparing these pictures, but they all disappeared after I posted them; only the last one is visible. I don't know if I'll only be able to post one picture at a time from now on, so please bear with it.
(I'm feeling uneasy, I have a bad feeling about this. (*?????))
