Volume 1 opens 19 dives for conch pearls
With 73 wide and flat natural beaches, the Seychelles island of Mahe is the ideal place for sea bathing, sunbathing, wind bathing and sand bathing. Pine Bay Beach is one of them, and it is a relatively concentrated place in the villa area, so there are not many tourists, quiet and beautiful.
The beach at Takamaka where Chen Xing and Mingyue stayed together in October was another of them. Takamaka Beach is one of the most characteristic beaches on the island of Mahe, with beautiful sand, soft curves and the best thing is the strange rocks and rocks piled up on the white sand. At that time, since they both liked the beach, they stayed there and had a good week.
Early in the morning of November 5th, after Chen Xing picked up Ye Mingyue, he joined Han Dan and Tao Hua and came to another famous beach park on Mahe Island: Port Lonai Marine National Park, that is, Ternai Bay, which is a comprehensive protected area integrating bays, islands and reefs, sandy beaches, corals, mangroves, and marine life.
The north side of the park is a long hiking trail that takes in reefs, shoals, mangroves and a plethora of conservation life. To the south, there are beautiful sandy beaches and coral reefs, perfect for swimming and snorkeling, and interacting with marine fish and turtles.
The four young people are mainly here to swim and dive today, Chen Xing is also here to repay his wishes, last time he promised to take Ye Mingyue for real diving, not just swimming on the beach with diving goggles, and Ternai Bay is one of the most suitable places for diving on Mahe Island.
The sea here is relatively shallow, and the coral reef area is not very large, so most of the diving tourists take the way of snorkeling, that is, bring diving goggles and fins, and do not need to wear oxygen cylinders, full glasses and other equipment. In fact, for Chen Xing and the four of them, to put it bluntly, they can swim, can hold their breath, and then go a little far from the shore, dive 3 or 4 meters deep near the coral reef, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the seabed.
This time, the diving goggles and fins were borrowed by the local students in the laboratory commissioned by Professor Yip, and Chen Xing just rented a small boat from the shore. Listening to Chen Xing communicating and bargaining with local fishermen in fluent English and French, Mingyue thought in surprise: "Could it be that Brother Xingxing is really super talented in languages, it seems that he went back to Independence Avenue to buy things, or I translated for him, and it has only been a month, and two foreign languages have been completed?"
Seeing Mingyue's puzzled gaze, Chen Xing said proudly: "How about it, I'm amazing, a month, English and French." In fact, he continued to think proudly: "If you knew that I had learned all the other six foreign languages, would I immediately throw myself into my arms!"
Han Dan and Tao Hua also looked at Chen Xing with admiration, they have been on the island for a while, and it seems that in addition to training, the English level of these two children is still in junior high school, let alone French. The current situation of professional sports athletes in China is really worrying, once a professional sport is chosen, the cultural class is basically abandoned.
Everyone changed into swimsuits in the small tent brought by the shore, and after getting on the boat, they rowed the boat to a place more than 200 meters away from the shore, and stopped near a coral group. The blue sky, white clouds, and white sand beaches are hidden up and down, and the shallow sea water is glowing with green lake blue in the middle, and the beautiful coral reefs can be seen through the clear water, and the surrounding green seagrass is swaying under the surging waves.
Four young people put on diving goggles and fins, and they couldn't wait to dive into the water and swim in this colorful underwater world. Colorful clownfish, red grouper, silver-white mackerel, brown sea turtles covered in scales, colorful shells, floating dark green kelp, blue starfish, colorful shrimp, black and white striped swallowfish, schools of unknown colored small fish, and pink, white, yellow, and purple coral reefs echo each other, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.
Everyone was fascinated by this heavenly scenery, and every once in a while they rose to the surface of the water to change their breath, another fierce man plunged into the water and continued to linger in the colorful world.
Chen Xing was also deeply shocked by the beauty of nature, because with the eye of the sky, he could not feel the visual impact of brilliant colors and the tremor of his soul so deeply. At first, he was still by Mingyue's side, but gradually, he was attracted to swim to the depths of the coral reef, in fact, it was the most dangerous area, the corals were too dense, the space for conversion and maneuvering was too small, it was difficult to breathe, and if he was not careful, he would be scratched by sharp corals or entangled in dense seaweed, so most divers were watching around the coral reef and would not go into the interior of the coral reef group.
Ye Mingyue is a girl, and Han Dan and Tao Hua are still young, so keep in mind the rules of snorkeling here, and only wander around the dinghy and the periphery of the coral reef, and do not go far. After Chen Xing gained the ability, he was overconfident in himself, and then he was attracted by the beautiful scenery, so he ignored the danger here and completely swam into the depths of the coral reef. By the time he realized it, it was already a minute later, and that was the limit of his current breath in the water.
In the panic, he tried to surface again, but was blocked by the intricate coral group, and in the panic, his body was cut several wounds, and a few traces of blood spread in the sea water, and gradually faded. When the last breath of oxygen in his lungs was exhausted, a strong feeling of suffocation pressed the heart, lungs and blood vessels, and his brain seemed to burst open, Chen Xing closed his eyes in despair and couldn't help but want to open his mouth.
But at this time, he only felt that his skin tightened, and then there was an inexplicable pressure from his body outward, and his pores were like a sieve that could be filtered, continuously absorbing oxygen from the seawater, and then transfusing it to the brain through the blood, supplying it to the lungs and various aerobic organs. Chen Xing was actually on the line of life and death, and in this way, he turned on the ability to breathe in the water, and he had sunk to the deepest part of the coral reef for 20 meters at this time, but he couldn't feel the slightest pressure of the seawater, is this also an ability obtained at the same time?
Chen Xing, who had regained his vitality, felt that his physical condition was better than ever, and several scratches on his body were also healing at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was not what Chen Xing expected, after all, he had already done bloody experiments, and this ability had long been known. However, Chen Xing's body is more flexible in the sea water than on land, full of strength, and he can even use the eye of the sky to feel the vitality of the creatures in the water, which is an indescribable wonderful feeling, like being able to communicate with any plant or animal in the seawater, and let these creatures do things according to their own thinking instructions, although these creatures are like children without enlightenment, they can be as obedient as a puppy.
He happily tried to communicate with all kinds of sea creatures, seaweeds, starfish, conch, sea fish, turtles, shrimp, crabs, ...... Even Sango, who would follow his instructions and make all sorts of simple movements, showed kindness to him as an alien.
Finally, he found a dozen conch conchs in a purple coral bush at the bottom of the reef, all of which were of a luxurious color and unusual beauty, all of them about 20 centimeters long. Through the observation of the eye of the sky, he found that six of the conch conches actually had pearl-like objects in their bodies, which were pink in color. Do conch shells also produce pearls?
With questions, Chen Xing collected some seaweed, weaved a pair of net pockets according to the way of weaving nets, put these six conches into it, thought about it, and took two additional conch shells without pearls in their bodies and put them into the net pocket. It was estimated that almost an hour had passed, and Mingyue and the others must have been in a hurry, so they swam out of the gap in the coral group, and did not return to the dinghy, but swam directly to the shore at the bottom of the sea.
When they got to the shore, they saw Mingyue in the distance, and the three of them were rowing around the perimeter of the coral reef in a small boat, shouting his name with a crying voice. Chen Xing felt guilty for a while, it seemed that everyone was really anxious, and hurriedly waved his arms and shouted to the three of them. Fortunately, more than 200 meters is not too far, and seeing that Chen Xing has reached the shore, the three of them immediately rowed back to the shore in a dinghy.
Although Chen Xing and Mingyue explained again and again, and took out the conch to prove that they were just fishing for this and giving it to her as a gift, so they stayed away from the distance from them, but they were still repaired by Mingyue's love.
Chen Xing was happily repaired by Mingyue, he could feel the fear of the other party, only people who loved each other could experience that deep and desperate fear, as if he had lost his soul, he felt that he never wanted Mingyue to taste it again. In the end, she held Mingyue tightly in her arms, and she calmed down her excitement.
Han Dan and Tao Hua were also frightened, they were just 16 years old, this experience was too exciting, and they thought that they would never see Chen Xing again. Seeing Chen Xing and Mingyue hugging each other, the two teenagers finally knew about their relationship, and they were afraid and then happy for them. In order to comfort them, Chen Xing put two ordinary, but very beautiful conches in the hands of the two teenagers, and said solemnly at the same time: "This is a gift for you, and I also remind the two of you at any time, when you come out to swim in the future, you must pay attention to safety, the sea is very dangerous, remember, in front of life, everything is not important." ”
Seeing the two of them nodding their heads seriously, Chen Xing smiled with relief, and at the same time had to endure the pain in his waist, Mingyue was using her white fingers to compete with the strong muscles in his waist.
At noon, the four of them ate the sandwiches and fruits they brought with them, and lay down under the coconut trees on the shore to chat, Chen Xing and Han Dan didn't care about the sun, their skin had already sunned a healthy tan. Although Mingyue and Tao Hua had applied sunscreen, they were still lying on the deck chair with a sun umbrella. There are free sun umbrellas and loungers provided by the local government, and there is no trace of debris and garbage on the white and clean beach.
Each of them holds a beautiful conch in their hands and is full of praise for this beautiful creature. Mingyue didn't know that in the conch in her hand, there was an even more beautiful pearl, which was the second gift that Chen Xing hoped she would enjoy after discovering it alone. Chen Xing asked Mingyue to bring the remaining 6 conch conch back to Pine Bay Villa, reminding her that when studying the scales of the old turtle in the sea, she also studied the conch by the way, what kind of conch it was, and what made them grow so beautiful.
In the afternoon, everyone did not go farther, just swimming and playing in the shallow water of the beach, and the afternoon sun shone brightly on the bodies of the four young people, and even the fair skin of Mingyue and Taohua was tanned a light and beautiful wheat color. Especially Mingyue, with her plump and healthy body, Chen Xing is always in a daze, and from time to time provokes Mingyue's silver bell-like laughter and the sea water that splits her head and face.
