Since this is a shallow sea, the fish nearby are not very big, most of them are small fish and shrimps.
The wind and waves were very strong at night, and even though Lin Qingmei was holding the Water Spirit Pearl in her hand, she did not dare to be careless.
After swimming for about half an hour, Lin Qingmei finally found a place with many abalones. She scanned the area with her mental power to confirm that there was no danger and then began to concentrate on picking up abalones.
The abalone was tightly attached to the reef, and it was easy to get hurt if you tried to pry it off with your bare hands. After a while, she took out a special knife from the space and carefully pried the abalone off the reef.
For convenience, she threw all the abalones she pried off into the space. In less than an hour, her space was piled with several dozen abalones.
Just when Lin Qingmei was busy prying the abalone out, something suddenly swam quickly behind her. She was so scared that she clenched the water spirit bead in her hand, and then she looked around vigilantly with her mental power, and saw an eel as thick as an arm swimming towards her.
Lin Qingmei was startled. This eel was quite large, and it would definitely be painful if it was bitten. She quickly mobilized the wood-related abilities in her body, and the seaweeds around her began to grow in response to their abilities. The slender and tough seaweeds rushed towards the eel like a spirit snake, and instantly wrapped the eel tightly.
The eel struggled desperately, but the water plants entangled it more and more. After a while, it finally stopped moving.
Lin Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief, but she did not let her guard down. Who knows if there are other dangerous creatures around.
She decided to prepare the eel and put it into the space first, after all, it was an unexpected harvest. She swam closer to the eel, carefully cut its throat with a knife and let the blood out. The eel's blood spread a little in the water. Fortunately, there were no sharks or other creatures around that smelled blood.
After Lin Qingmei finished processing the eels, she quickly left the abalone nest. It was a pity that she was unable to pry all the abalone here today, and she didn't know if these abalone would still be here next time.
It was getting dark, and the sea was getting rougher. She held the water pearl tightly in her hand and swam quickly towards the coast.
After getting ashore, she had a sack in her hand, which contained the abalone she had pried open today and the eel that had fallen into the trap.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard my younger brother Lin Zheng's anxious cry.
Lin Qingmei responded, and Lin Zheng hurried over to hug his sister, crying and saying, "Sister, you're finally here. I was so worried."
"Didn't I tell you? I'm a little late today." Lin Qingmei smiled and comforted her brother. Could it be that this silly brother was crying out of anxiety?
"But I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't come, I'll go to the beach to find you." After dark, Lin Zheng waited for Lin Qingmei to come at the door all day.
"Don't you know my skills as your second sister? Next time when I come late, you don't have to wait for me. Go to bed early and have a rest, okay?" Lin Qingmei patted her brother's shoulder and went out of the room. She was now wet and had to change her clothes quickly.
When Lin Qingmei came out after changing her clothes, she saw Lin Zheng looking at the eels and abalone in the sack.
"Sister, where did you get such a big eel? And so many abalones!"
"Picking up abalone at the beach. I saw some abalone washed up by the waves near the crab pond in the afternoon. I guessed there must be an abalone nest nearby. After get off work, I took a walk along the beach and picked up so many abalone. As for this eel, I picked it up from a crab cage. I put a few crab cages in the reef area the day before yesterday. I went to take a look when I passed by today, but unfortunately the harvest was not very large." Lin Qingmei did put a few crab cages in the reef area, but now it is high tide, and she can't collect them even if she wants to.
