Sea snail nest
Chen Zhiyao jogged along and soon arrived at a place where lots of seaweed grew.
There were many large conch shells around her, each one slightly smaller than her fist, and all of them were very plump and full.
"So many seashells, are they having a meeting?"
Looking at the plump sea snails, Chen Zhiyao didn't hesitate and put them all into her bucket.
Besides this densest area, other sea snails of various sizes are scattered elsewhere.
Flower snails, piglet snails, spicy snails, scallops, horseshoe snails... Chen Zhiyao picked snails until her hands were sore.
There were too many to count, but judging from the added weight of the buckets, they probably weighed five or six pounds.
Continuing forward, we came to a large puddle with water up to our knees deep, filled with many stones of various sizes.
Suddenly, Chen Zhiyao noticed that one of the stones looked a bit strange.
It's time to test your eyesight again.
After looking at it a few more times, she excitedly slapped her thigh.
"This isn't a stone, it's clearly a tigerfish, worth over 100 yuan a pound."
The fish's tail was quite prominent, but it wasn't very big, much smaller than the one she caught before, and looked to be only about a pound.
Knowing that tigerfish don't usually grow very big, Chen Zhiyao smiled and put it into her bucket.
Tigerfish +1
The water in the puddle was very clear, and there were quite a few good things there. As soon as she looked up, she discovered a nest of small abalone.
Abalone +6
"It's a pity they're a bit small; the whole litter only weighs a little over a pound."
After taking just two steps forward, Chen Zhiyao spotted a horseshoe snail and a super large whelk next to a rock.
whelks and horseshoe whelks
Not only that, she also found a small tail with black horizontal stripes on the back of the stone.
Conger eels don't usually have these horizontal stripes; this is clearly a dog shark.
The thought that dog sharks were much more expensive than moray eels made Chen Zhiyao's smile even brighter.
The clamp in his hand quickly reached out and pulled the thing out of the crevice in a few swift movements.
It's of average size, a small dog shark weighing a little over a pound.
Horseshoe snail +1
Flower snail +1
Dog Shark +1
The puddle was long and narrow. Chen Zhiyao walked from one end to the other, picking up a few mantis shrimps and a nest of half-snails along the way.
Mantis shrimp +4
Half-screw + 8
Just as they were about to reach the end, Chen Zhiyao's eyes suddenly lit up.
In front of her was a large rock covered with oysters and barnacles, and right next to the rock was a super-sized mantis shrimp hiding.
Chen Zhiyao bent down and easily lifted the big guy up.
Mantis shrimp
These mantis shrimp looked quite large in the water, but they were even bigger after being picked up; they were longer than my hand!
Not being able to sell one, Chen Zhiyao quickly wandered around again and found two mantis shrimp.
"Splash..."
Listening to the sound of the waves in the distance, Chen Zhiyao, who was engrossed in searching for mantis shrimp, glanced at the sea in front of her and found that the seawater had receded a lot again without her noticing.
The entire rocky beach in front of us is almost exposed; the tide will probably rise again in half an hour.
Seeing that there were still many rocky areas to explore, Chen Zhiyao became a little anxious and quickened her pace.
There's a small, tall reef in front of us. Besides the various seashells exposed on the surface, there are even more valuable things hidden in the crevices.
Through X-ray glasses, you can see several large, green crabs hiding under the crevices in the rocks.
With the help of X-ray glasses, Chen Zhiyao wasn't worried about the large blue crabs escaping, and happily collected all the exposed seashells.
After wandering around for a while, the weight in the bucket had increased by several kilograms.
After setting down the heavy bucket, Chen Zhiyao, holding a pair of tongs in one hand and a rope for tying crabs in the other, squatted down boldly in front of a crevice in the rock.
Deep inside the crevice of the rock, there's a big guy hiding.
Blue crab
The crevice was quite deep, and Chen Zhiyao stretched her arm out with all her might before she could barely touch it.
Blue Crab +1
She put in a lot of effort to get this big blue crab, and her legs went numb from squatting so long.
Fortunately, this guy is quite fat, weighing at least eight ounces if he doesn't weigh a pound.
The other crabs were also hidden very well. Chen Zhiyao fiddled with them in the crevices of the rocks for a long time, getting herself all dirty.
Although it was a bit hard work, the rewards were good, and we harvested a lot of big, meaty crabs with lots of roe.
Blue Crab +5
Orchid Crab +2
Red Flower Crab +3
Stone Crab +2
Chen Zhiyao picked up her spoils, glanced back at the stones of various sizes, and sincerely praised them:
"This stone forest is really nice; it's practically a natural crab nest."
At this moment, Chen Zhiyao's bucket and two net bags were completely full.
Looking at the two empty net bags in her hands, she confidently believed that she would be able to fill them up in a little while.
Once you reach the point where the sea meets the rocky beach, you'll find even more wonderful things around you.
As soon as Chen Zhiyao looked down, she discovered a long, thin, yellow buttock hidden under the coral.
“This conch is quite big, it weighs almost a pound.”
Just as she picked up the large conch shell in front of her, Chen Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised to find two smaller conch shells hiding in a crevice in the rocks nearby.
Conch +3
The seawater that had just receded was rising again with the waves.
Seeing that the seawater had already reached her knees, Chen Zhiyao not only did not turn back, but continued to walk into the depths of the sea.
Directly in front of her, you can see two round, chubby figures.
The seawater that kept crashing against her did not affect her firm steps in the slightest.
Taking two steps at once, Chen Zhiyao quickly arrived at the place she had been staring at.
In a small pit, there were two giant coconut snails, each larger than her face.
Seeing an even bigger wave crashing towards her, Chen Zhiyao quickly bent down, grabbed a coconut shell in each hand, and ran back as fast as she could.
However, it was too late; the fierce waves soaked her entire back.
Although the waders blocked most of the waves, a considerable amount of seawater still seeped in from the back of my neck, wetting a small section of my back.
Chen Zhiyao didn't care at all. After running to a place where the waves couldn't reach her, she happily weighed the two huge coconut snails in her hands.
The larger ones weighed about three pounds, and the smaller ones weighed a little over two pounds. Just like that, I got several hundred yuan.
Coconut snail +2
