Chapter 75: Casting the Net

"Captain, the nets are here!" Zhang Xuexing rushed over and handed over the mended fishing nets to me, the women are ingenious, the originally tattered and unsightly fishing nets were repaired by them, and the craftsmanship is quite good!

Turning his head to look at the team members who bent over to pick up shells on the beach, they felt a little relieved, everyone worked hard, and soon the bamboo baskets in their hands were full of shells, leaving a string of footprints on the beach under the sunset, reflecting the busy figures of the team members under the sparkling waves.

In fact, picking up shells is very simple, because today is low tide, most of the shellfish are left on the beach, and the waves have receded, leaving small shallow round pits on the sand, and you can dig out clams and other things with your hands!

"Brothers, let's go fishing when it's almost over!" I shouted, and the team members answered and picked up for a long time and returned one after another.

"Yo, so much!" The team members happily showed me the shells they had picked up, and there were a lot of bamboo baskets in each person, because some of the bamboo baskets couldn't help but crack in weight, so they had to be carried by two people.

I nodded approvingly, these shellfish alone are barely enough for everyone to eat, the coastline is so long, if you pick it up, I really don't know how much you can get, the sea is really generous!

I got the fishing net, but I didn't know how to cast the net, and I was a little helpless in the face of the vast sea.

Yu Sikun frowned and said, "Give it to me!" I'm going to sprinkle ......"

I nodded, and was about to hand the fishing net to Yu Sikun but was snatched by Hou Mingzhao: "It's better for me to come!" ”

I was stunned and said, "Why are you still grabbing a fishing net?" Hearing my words, the two looked at each other and smiled, but their smiles were full of helplessness.

"When we were fishing at noon, our sampan was overturned by the sea mutant creatures, and there was no way to cast a net on the shore, unless we went to the shallow water to cast ......" Wu Yujuan said with a heavy face: "However, it is too dangerous to stand in shallow water and cast a net, and it is not suitable for the big boat at the dock to cast a net at all!" Don't take this risk, forget about noon? Wu Yujuan shook her head and denied the method of casting nets to catch fish.

"What then?" Everyone was stunned when they heard the two of them say this, and I knew the reason why Yu Sikun and Hou Mingzhao were rushing to cast their nets, and they didn't want to put each other in danger, and my heart was full of emotion for a while.

"Forget it, Brother Yu, you teach me how to cast the net, or I'll come!" I said a word, but all three of them were stunned.

"What are you kidding?" Yu Sikun said solemnly: "It's better for us to have biological armor to defend ourselves, I'm afraid you will soon be gnawed into bones if you continue like this...... When blood dissolves in seawater, it only attracts bigger mutated sea creatures! ”

I smiled, pulled up the sleeve on my arm, and urged the bone armor to show the three of them: "Look, I have this!" ”

The three of them were amazed to see the gray-white bone armor that appeared on the outside of their skin, and they only understood after my explanation, and their eyes were full of incredulity when they looked at me.

"Hehe, my bone armor is much stronger than your biological armor, and I can't even cut through it with a knife!" As I spoke, I took out the three-edged army thorn and stabbed it at my arm, and the three-edged army thorn stabbed the bone armor with a muffled sound, but did not leave a single scratch.

"Awesome! In that case, it's fitting that you can cast your net! Yu Sikun said with a happy face: "Come, I'll teach you how to cast this kind of sea net!" ”

Yu Sikun and they live on the island all year round, and it can be said that practice makes perfect when they cast fishing nets, so he took the fishing nets and demonstrated them to me.

"Whoa! I'll teach you two ...... of Safa" Yu Sikun introduced to me in detail: "Look, hold the hand with your left hand to cast the net and about one-third of the net port, and then hang the net with your right hand on your thumb!" This is the most important thing, when casting the net, use your thumb to hook the net to make it easier to open the ......"

I watched Yu Sikun's movements carefully, while secretly remembering in my heart to imitate, this kind of hand-cast fishing net is mostly used in rivers, shallow seas, lakes and fishing nets, which is easy to say but difficult to do. Often some people do not know how to spread the hand-cast fishing net, and the wrong method will greatly reduce the number of hand-cast fishing or even not catch a single one.

"Look, then you hold the rest of the net like I did, keep a distance between your two hands that is convenient for movement, spin right from the left side of your body and cast it with your right hand, send out the net port of your left hand, hold the net with your right thumb, and just cast it......" Yu Sikun taught me again and handed me the fishing net: "Come on, you try it!" ”

I nodded, took the net, and demonstrated the net casting that Yu Sikun taught me twice.

"Not bad, not bad! It's a fast learner! Yu Sikun stroked his palms and laughed: "I studied all day before I learned it!" ”

"Alright! Zhang Yang, you must be careful when you go down to cast the net, and if you feel bad, you must run back quickly! If we can't catch fish, it's a big deal, so we'll eat these clams......" Yu Sikun and Hou Mingzhao said a few words again.

"Don't worry!" I nodded, and with the worried eyes of everyone, I picked up the fishing net and chose a suitable launching point and walked out into the sea.

The chosen piece of terrain is flat, and I walked about ten meters into the sea, and the sea water has not reached the position of my chest, and I have felt that there are slippery and greasy things swimming against my body after walking in the water for a while, and from time to time I collided with my body, and I felt that the clothes on my lower body were torn out of tears.

Because the bone armor on my chest was pulled out by the abominable sin, I didn't dare to go deeper, so I used the method of casting nets taught to me by Yu Sikun in the floating and heavy waves.

This area is rich in marine life, because of my attraction, many mutant fish in the sea swam over, frantically hitting and tearing at my body, and even a few jumped up and bit my face, and I fell into the water one by one.

Picking up a stunned palm-length mutant sea fish, it was impossible to tell what kind of fish it was, it seemed to be a sardine, but it was much larger, and the pointed fish mouths were full of sharp teeth, obviously they were extremely aggressive.

As soon as the net was cast down, and then I felt the heaviness when I pulled it upward, and I lifted it violently, and the net broke away from the sea in an instant, and a group of small fish in the white flower struggled in the fishing net.

"Well done!" Seeing that the first net had hit so much, the people on the shore couldn't help but cheer loudly, I laughed, dragged the fishing net and walked to the shore.

"Hurry! Pack them all up and be careful not to get bitten! "Walking back to the beach, I dumped the fish in my nets onto the beach, and most of them were palm-length fish, small sea bass and small yellow croaker, but most of them were very aggressive silver mutant sardines.

Dozens of fish were caught under the net, and everyone hurriedly picked up fish in the bamboo baskets, and the mutated fish were smashed to death by the team members with sticks.

"Good! I'll do a few more! Everyone can finally eat in the evening! I waved at the team with my fishing net, and everyone said yes in unison, and everyone was excited.

The sun is sinking very quickly, I have to hurry up and make a few more nets, and I was about to go to the sea again when I suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Xuefen's face on the side, and when I saw it, I hurriedly turned my head in a panic.

I scratched my head in wonder, suddenly realized something, looked down, and turned around with a "sigh", it turned out that the mutant fish in the sea water tore the clothes on my lower body and walked away! This made me blush, and my crotch was cold, and I don't know if Zhang Xue saw it.

"You're busy, I'll go down again!" I hurried into the sea with a word, and secretly glanced at the two women in the team, Wu Yujuan was helping people get fish, only to be looked at by Zhang Xue.

I walked into the sea angrily, thinking to myself, I am a man, what am I afraid of? But he was a little worried, and reached out and secretly touched the little brother below, okay! The key parts are also covered by bone armor, which reassures me!

After casting two more nets in the sea and transporting them twice to the beach on the shore, I went down to the shallow sea again, and there were many mutant fish in the sea, all small mutant fish, and I couldn't count how many there were.

I cast the net three times, I am already very familiar with it, I am happy to catch so many fish, I didn't expect that the fish in the sea have reproduced to an amazing extent without human wanton fishing, and it is also a good choice to live by the sea!

Just as I was thinking about it, I was about to pull up the fishing net to see how much I had harvested, but suddenly I felt that my legs were entangled in something slippery and greasy, and it was very tightly wound.

I was shocked, and hurriedly lowered my head to look, the secret path was not good, it turned out that a few small mutant fish jumped on my chest and bit my skin, I was too excited just now and didn't notice it at all, and the blood of this time had flowed down the skin into the sea water and dissolved. It must have been the smell of blood that attracted the other mutated sea creatures!

The slippery and greasy thing wrapped around my legs gradually tightened, I hurriedly pulled it with my hands, the tentacles were soft, and I pinched it hard, and the sea water under me suddenly rolled up, and a small tentacle was cut off by me, I picked it up and looked, it was a tentacle with a suction cup!

"Damn! It turned out to be an octopus! "I was shocked, this tentacle arm was thick, and when I just reacted, a strong force came from my feet, and my body was violently torn down.

"Captain!" "Publicity!" Seeing me fall into the sea, the team members on the beach screamed anxiously.

I fell into the sea, and the waves choked me so much that I drank a few mouthfuls of seawater, and in a panic, I only felt a few tentacles wrap around me again, and soon rolled up on my body and neck.

Not good! I felt a strong force coming from the tentacles, as tough as cow tendons, and the huge force made my bones crackle, especially the tentacles on my neck, which made me feel that the bones in my neck were about to be strangled.

I struggled to stand up, my feet digging deep into the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, because the octopus was just a tight tentacle, and it did not completely restrict my movement, and I was pulled up from the bottom by a large octopus more than a meter long.
