Chapter 23: The Ebb Tide

Today's sea is different than usual.

The sea water receded a lot, and a small layer of the net that Wu Yicai had laid also revealed, and with the undulating waves, it could be seen that there was already a harvest in the net......

Judging by the degree of exposure of the basket nets, the depth of the sea water has decreased by at least about one meter today.

It's low tide!

Wu Yicai actually caught up with the ebb tide!

This phenomenon is related to the rotation of the Earth, but it may last for a short time.

The scorched rock, which had been widely covered by seawater, was exposed, leaving puddles of varying depths.

There are ripples on the surface of the puddle, something is swimming?

It was a fish, a big fish!

Not just one puddle has fish swimming in it, but there are fish in multiple puddles......

Haha, it looks like it's going to be a bumper harvest today!

There are so many fish that I can eat grilled and steamed......

Wu Yicai hurriedly rushed to the sea at low tide and began to reap the gifts of the sea wantonly.

Because he didn't have a container for fish, he simply took off his T-shirt, sealed the collar and cuffs, and used it as a bag temporarily......

He can't touch the bodies of the fish directly with his hands, because some of them have self-protective tools, poisonous fins.

Wu Yicai pierced the fish's body directly with a spear and put it in his T-shirt.

There was a ray whose skin was so smooth that he stabbed it several times before it penetrated it!

However, there was a long spike behind its tail that kept cutting at his spear, and the spike made several contacts with the spear making a "whoosh" sound.

The spike on the ray's tail looked very sharp, flashing with a faint blue light, and he subconsciously knew that this thorn was not simple, and he must get it down.

Wu Yicai crushed the tail of the ray with a piece of gravel, and he could see that it was in pain, and it was swinging desperately all the time.

……

He collected a lot of seafood, including ratfish, grouper, moray eel, crab, and many more......

What made him happiest was that there were two large lobsters, lurking under a rock, and he wouldn't have been able to spot them if he hadn't seen two huge tentacles.

The low tide is a surprise, the whole sea level has receded a lot, so that the whole sea level has converged, and the beach looks extraordinarily wide from here!

Well?

Wait, it seems that something is wrong!

A drop in water caused by low tide?

It must be that the whole sea has fallen, and so has the sea that leads to the valley......

it!

If the tide is low here, it is obvious that the water over there will also be low tide......

The reef here is directly exposed by the low tide, which has formed a coastal corridor.

Since the reef here leaks out bare and forms a reef corridor, it is likely that there is a reef corridor over there as well.

Maybe the reef corridor over there leads directly to the valley I longed for.

Wu Yicai has an extreme desire for the rich valley over there, where there is plenty of fresh water, and there should be plenty of food.

The most important thing is that when he gets to the valley, he can avoid the wolves that terrify him.

He had to hurry over, preferably while the tide was still rising!

Most of the seafood stranded here had not been collected, and he couldn't care about it anymore, he only had one thought in his mind now.

That's to rush to that sea right away!

Wu Yicai was running fast on the beach, the sand was too soft, so his speed was limited, and fine sand poured through the seams of his shoes, and soon the sand began to rub his feet wildly.

Normally he would have stopped and poured out the sand from his shoes, but now he had no time to pay attention to the sand, he just wanted to cross the sea before the tide rose.

Wu Yicai only now realized that the way he could cross that sea with peace of mind was not to make a raft to cross the sea, and even if he did, he was not at ease, because there was still a raft and deep sea water under his feet.

The most reassuring way for him is to step on the ground and walk over with peace of mind, he feels that only when he is down-to-earth will he have a sense of security.

Because he ran too fast, the body shirt he made into a bag was still held in his hand, and the high-speed running shook his limbs so that the telescope on his chest kept slapping his chest hard, and his chest was patted very painful......

He took off the telescope on the run, and when he held it in his hand, he was in good shape, and he could always move as fast as he could.

Wu Yicai ran along the coast at great speed, and came to the black charred stone where the group of sea iguanas was, they were still basking in the sun to absorb the heat.

He wasn't scared of the creatures anymore, he just felt disgusting, and their shape was really numb......

Wu Yicai quickly bypassed the sea iguana, and the beach here began to become gentle, and his left side began to slowly rise, this is the cliff he came to yesterday.

Sure enough, just as he expected, this cliff is very high, at least 50 meters high when viewed from below.

Seeing this cliff he knew that he was already close to the sea, and he was running faster and faster, and he was afraid that the tide would rise......

Wu Yicai has always felt that he is running very slowly, and he really wants to improve his running speed.

He was already exhausted, his legs were heavy, like lead, and every step he took seemed to be squeezing his muscles.

Wu Yicai's legs were very tight, he was panting violently, his chest seemed to be burning with a fire, his throat was extremely dry, and sweat was flowing down like a stream......

Even so, he was still gritting his teeth and insisting, he didn't want to give up!

Because low tide is so hard to come by, he has a high chance of walking to the valley on the other side of the valley, because he is somewhat resistant to crossing the sea on a raft in a sea full of sharks.

......

It's close!

It's close!

Just go around this cliff and he can see the sea, where there must be a wide, flat reef corridor!

When Wu Yicai was exhausted, gasping for help, and feeling like he was about to go into shock, he finally came to the sea.

There is a road in the sea!

Because of the influence of low tide, the sea here also vaguely reveals some scorched stones!

The jagged scorched stones formed a path that led to the opposite valley, which he could walk along.

He was tired and panting, his throat was so dry that his legs were shaking all the time.

Although his situation was terrible, he didn't want to lose this opportunity just like that, so he decided to go over.

He picked up a tree trunk on the beach to keep his balance and help him walk, because the scorched rock was too difficult to walk and there was a layer of green seaweed attached to it......

The trunk can be used as a point of support to prevent him from falling on scorched stones.

Wu Yicai walked on the scorched stone that was slightly exposed to the water, and the seaweed on it was really slippery, and he almost fell several times, but fortunately he had a long stick to support him.

After the tide receded, the water was really shallow, just past his ankles, and he did catch a few sharks, but they were far away from him......

The sharks may have sensed the frequency of his fiddle with the seawater, and they tried to get closer to Wu Yicai.

However, the sharks stopped in the shallows in the distance, because they simply could not swim in such shallow waters.

Wu Yicai glanced back as he walked, he had already walked a fifth of the way, this sea area was not far away, and when he walked, he realized that you couldn't fully believe your eyes!

Slowly, it got deeper, and the water reached three fingers above the ankles, but it didn't matter, the water was so shallow, the sharks couldn't get through.

But Wu Yi found that the further he went, the deeper the sea became......

This...... That's not right!

It's not that the water is getting deeper, it's that the tide is rising!

Wu Yicai didn't expect the tide to rise at this time, he was still a long distance away from the beach in the valley in front of him, and the distance behind him was a little shorter!

What am I going to do?

Do you keep moving forward or going backwards?

The sharks were moving closer to him, they were still stranded by the sea, but this time they were closer to him than they were last time!

I've got to go back!

The sea is rising violently, and if he goes any further, he may be torn to pieces by sharks!

I can't delay there, I need to go back soon!

Wu Yicai immediately turned around and ran towards the shore, the scorched stone on the soles of his feet was still very slippery, and the rising sea water suppressed his speed.

Wu Yicai couldn't run at all, the sea was still rising violently, and those sharks were getting closer and closer to him......

Run, I've got to run back!

Damn, the tide started to rise so quickly!
