Chapter 74: Giant
Chu Qiao explored further inside, and what was even more amazing was that the fish seemed to have their own rules, with each species living in a different cabin.
Among them, the number of glass fish is the most spectacular. Because they are more fragile individually, they choose to gather in groups to resist external enemies.
Only one cabin was empty. Chu Qiao pulled the slipping boat frame and swam in with the help of the force.
Chu Qiao saw a rusty drawer. After being soaked for a long time, the drawer was difficult to open. Chu Qiao took out a knife with great effort and pried the drawer open.
There was a can of food lying inside. Chu Qiao picked up the can and looked at the date on it.
Twenty years ago?
Expired food was of no use to Chu Qiao, but she obviously didn't want to give up any tools. Chu Qiao threw the cans into the bamboo basket and suddenly found an iron bucket in the corner.
Lying in the iron barrel was the head of a spear about 10 cm long, which was no longer sharp.
Chu Qiao put it in his pocket.
At this moment, her lungs felt like they were about to explode, and she had to return to the surface to breathe.
On the sea, Chu Qiao's head was buzzing due to lack of oxygen. She maintained the inertial movement of treading water, emptying her mind in the sea without even moving her eyeballs.
"Master Chu is insane?"
"I guess I just got choked up."
"Hurry back to the shore slowly."
Chu Qiao slowly recovered and said slowly, "I have to go down again. There's something down there that I think I can use."
"Mr. Chu is too brave. At such a deep place, the water pressure can make her ears bleed."
"That's not the case. Master Chu was fine just now!"
…
Chu Qiao didn't bother to read the comments and dived into the seabed for the third time.
This time she found the cabin she had just been to with ease. Chu Qiao entered the cabin and groped around the door.
Her expression remained motionless, but her eyes were smiling. She took out a knife and cut off the rubber strip used for sealing on the hatch bit by bit.
Chu Qiao carefully followed the gap in the hatch, fearing that he would accidentally cut the tape.
Having learned from the last lesson, Chu Qiao did not dare to stay underwater for too long. He only took a 20-centimeter-long section and prepared to return to the surface of the sea.
She slid her legs, turned around, and swam out the cabin door.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared and swam towards Chu Qiao.
The shadow's speed was unusually fast.
Chu Qiao barely dodged to the side of his body and took a closer look. He saw that the big fish had a straight head and back, flat eye sockets, and black spots all over its body. Some of the black spots were dotted with irregular white and yellow spots.
It turned out to be a grouper.
The average grouper only grows to half a meter long, but the one Chu Qiao saw was a spearhead grouper, which can grow up to 2.7 meters long. Although this one was not that big, it was still 1 meter long.
Chu Qiao watched the trajectory of its attack. The grouper had been hiding behind the hatch, waiting for an opportunity to attack her.
She finally understood why this cabin was so empty.
Grouper is a solitary and ferocious fish. Other small fish and shrimps dare not approach it.
Chu Qiao had limited oxygen in her lungs. Although she wanted to catch the grouper, she couldn't continue fighting. Chu Qiao held the knife in her hand and approached the cabin door step by step.
The grouper's eyeballs in its sunken eye sockets moved with Chu Qiao's movements, and its body was ready to move.
Seeing that it had reached the door, the grouper seemed to know that this was its last chance, and it opened its mouth wide and bit Chu Qiao's hand holding the knife.
Chu Qiao wanted to let it go, but the other party held on to it. Chu Qiao frowned and thought to himself: Brother, I'm sorry.
Chu Qiao gave a roundhouse kick, and the grouper was kicked against the cabin door with a bang.
Chu Qiao took the knife in his left hand and stabbed it into the grouper's eyes. The grouper's huge size at this time became its fatal weakness.
Its fat body was unable to dodge Chu Qiao's attacks flexibly.
Chu Qiao accurately stabbed one of its eyes, and the grouper immediately began to struggle, its tail driving its entire body to struggle continuously.
Chu Qiao felt a tightness in her chest. There was no time left. She flicked her wrist and stabbed the knife into the grouper's mouth quickly and accurately, not giving the fish a chance to escape. Chu Qiao tied the rope into the hole in the fish's mouth, held the grouper in one hand, and quickly swam upstream with the other.
The decreasing pressure did not bring comfort to Chu Qiao. Instead, he became dizzy and nauseous due to the sudden change in pressure.
As she swam on the sea, dragging the heavy fish, her strength was depleted even faster.
Chu Qiao held his breath and swam back to the shore.
Netizens watched this silent battle from beginning to end. If Chu Qiao had shown some cleverness in the battle against sharks, this time, he was still able to show such agility under such high pressure underwater. Everyone was really impressed.
Only Chu Qiao herself knew the danger of this process. If she was even a second slower, she wouldn't be able to get up.
Chuqiaotan was lying on the beach, her clothes clinging to her body. Her originally curvy figure was now covered with white sand, and the yellow mud on her face had long since disappeared, revealing her flushed cheeks.
At this moment, Chu Qiao looked more like a loser than the grouper next to him.
"Is Master Chu short of oxygen?"
"Is he injured?"
Mr. Hua Tuo Lu: "The underwater pressure is too great, and it is not suitable for strenuous exercise. Add to that the lack of oxygen, and it's strange that she is feeling well now."
After explaining, Hua Tuo Lu continued, "Chu Qiao, open your mouth and yawn. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can press your ears repeatedly to open the Eustachian tube."
Chu Qiao looked up slightly when he saw what Mr. Lu had said. He nodded slightly and did as he was told.
"Mr. Hua Tuo Lu gave Chu Qiao a rocket—don't rush to get up, you are very weak now."
The discomfort in my ears has improved, but the dizziness and headache caused by lack of oxygen still exist.
Chu Qiao listened to Lu Zhan and stayed where she was. She patted her sandy hair, opened her mouth wide and yawned in an attempt to get more oxygen.
After repeating this dozens of times, Chu Qiao finally felt a little strength in his body.
Chu Qiao stood up and kicked the grouper. The grouper left the water and completely lost its previous domineering look, shaking its tail perfunctorily.
Chu Qiao took a deep breath and said, "Although the process was a bit dangerous, it wasn't in vain if we were able to catch the grouper."
“Is this a grouper?”
"Master Chu, I have never been to school, so don't lie to me."
"The largest groupers I've seen were only about 40 to 50 centimeters long."
"If the anchor doesn't know, then he doesn't know. Don't talk nonsense."
Fengliupianye: "Mr. Chu never talks nonsense. Upstairs, please be careful with your words."
Chu Qiao didn't care and explained, "It's not surprising that everyone hasn't seen it. This is my first time seeing it too."
"But whether it's his appearance or his habits, it's confirmed that he's a big guy among groupers."
"If it's really grouper, the anchor is in for a treat."
Chu Qiao nodded: "That's why I went to so much trouble to bring it back."
