Jiang Yichen untied the cable and got on the boat, and the small sampan entered the sea again, at this time his boating skills were much more proficient, and the bow of the boat was placed in the right direction and sailed towards the south of the island.

However, this primitive means of transportation is not very convenient after all, and if there are conditions in the future, you will have to buy a speedboat, and then you will not be able to get a double motorboat first.

The sampan travels at a moderate pace, skirting the southernmost tip of the island, and then turning north to the cove to the east, where the water is much calmer, the gentle waves wash the winding silvery sand beach, and the water is cleaner than the west, the terrain is gentle, and the sand is fine, making it a natural sunbathing area.

The fly in the ointment is that this generation only has reefs and sandy beaches, and there are few trees, which seems to lack some vitality.

It would be perfect if there were coconut trees, palm trees, etc., like the southern seaside. However, those plants do not seem to be suitable for growing in the Lingjiang area.

Just as Jiang Yichen was thinking about his thoughts, he suddenly heard a snapping sound in his ears.

He turned his head to look, and saw that on the surface of the sea, twenty meters away from the starboard side of the ship, there was a round thing tossing, sinking and floating suddenly, splashing in patches.

What is that? It doesn't seem small. But it's not like a shark or something dangerous.

Jiang Yichen's curiosity was aroused, so he paddled his sculls and headed towards that thing.

When I got closer, I looked through the waves, and I was greeted by a rather large oblate, dark green sè carapace.

It turned out to be a large sea turtle, which is rare.

If you look closely, you can see that the turtle stretches its neck, crawls on all fours, and keeps rolling and struggling in the water. The reason is also very clear, it is wrestling with a broken fishing net wrapped around its body.

As it turns out, there are some broken fishing nets that are often discarded by fishing boats, which are tantamount to traps for large aquatic animals.

Thinking of the dolphin that died yesterday on the rolling hook, Jiang Yichen's heart throbbed.

He stopped his oars and carefully observed the turtles' movements, intending to rescue them at the right time.

The turtle is a very powerful thing, usually with a gentle spleen, but it also has a considerable attack when the eye is urgent, especially the mouth with a sharp front and a round back, although there are no teeth, but the beak is very hard and jagged, and the consequences of being bitten are not easy.

The turtle tossed for a while, unable to get rid of its fishing nets. He stopped moving, sank into the water for a while, and after more than ten seconds, he resurfaced and began to struggle.

As the cycle continues, it gradually burns out and its range of motion becomes smaller and smaller. And its limbs also seemed to be injured, and traces of blood were oozing out.

Almost, Jiang Yichen saw this moment and decided to do it.

He took off his shirt and pants, put on his diving goggles, stood up and moved his body, and then plunged into the water.

Despite the fact that it was close to noon, the sea temperature was already cool in November. However, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem for his current physique.

Jiang Yichen took a deep breath, then buried his head downstream, and slowly approached the big sea turtle, the sea turtle had already seen him, and instinctively wanted to escape, but his whole body was weak, coupled with the fact that he was entangled in fishing nets, he couldn't dodge at all.

Jiang Yichen avoided the turtle's head, came to the top of its body, stretched out his hands, buckled the sides of the turtle's tortoise shell, and then carried it up.

With his head out of the water, he took another breath and swam in the direction of the sampan.

The length of the turtle's body is about eighty centimeters, and according to this ratio, it should weigh sixty or seventy kilograms, which is considered a heavyweight.

Jiang Yichen came to the side of the sampan and struggled to send the turtle to the boat.

Relying on his outstanding arm strength, it took three attempts to flip this big guy onto the boat. He then climbed up.

The turtle lay motionless in the cabin, as if it no longer wanted to resist.

Jiang Yichen took out the multi-purpose saber and began to pick up the fishing nets wrapped around the turtle in turn. Originally, if you just removed the fishing nets, you could do it underwater, so you didn't have to have to do it. But the turtle was clearly injured and needed some treatment.

Carefully picking off the last strand of the net on its hind feet, the turtle was finally freed from its restraints, but still limbly lying on its stomach.

Jiang Yichen took out the wine and anti-inflammatory hemostatic medicine from the first aid kit in the space, first cleaned the wounds on the turtle's limbs, and then poured the white sè powder on it and wrapped it around a few times with a bandage. This is not too serious, especially for a survivable wild animal.

The big turtle was obviously quite smart, as if it understood that the other party was treating it, so it opened its round eyes and looked at him pitifully.

"Hehe, okay, I'm quite sensible." Jiang Yichen complimented, checked the rest of his body, and then drove to the beach with his paddle.

Pushing the boat ashore, he picked up the turtle, walked to the back of a large reef, and put him down.

Just apply the medicine, naturally you can't let it go into the water immediately, so that the effect of the medicine can be well played. And for an animal like a turtle, it doesn't matter if you're out of the water for a while.

The turtle squinted its eyes and rested quietly on the sand, exhausted from the hours it had been wrestling with the broken fishing net.

Jiang Yichen sat next to him, basking in the warm sunshine, while carefully looking at the big guy in front of him.

I saw that its carapace was oval, dark green sè, and the shield pieces were inlaid and arranged, with the markings of shè placed by zhongyāng to the surroundings, and the sè ze was very coordinated. zhongyāng has five vertebral shields, four auxiliary shields on the left and right, and seven edge shields on each side.

The head is triangular, dark brown, dark gray on the neck, and a pair of large eyes are raised. There is a pair of frontal scales on the forehead, and the upper and lower maxillary lips have fine keratin serrations, and the lower labial teeth are longer and more prominent than the upper jaw.

The limbs are broad, like the oars of a boat.

Jiang Yichen didn't have much research on the species of sea turtles, so he could only remember the characteristics for the time being and go back to the Internet to check them.

By the way, remember that sea turtles feed on fish, shrimp, crustaceans, molluscs and seaweed, and are omnivores.

I brought some freshwater fish in my space, which was originally intended to be a gift for Leqiu, but now it can also come in handy.

Thinking of this, he took out an iron bucket from the space, which contained carp and crucian carp, and left it to thaw in the sun.

The turtle's nose is very smart, and when it asks about the smell of food, it suddenly becomes a little restless.

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's still an ice lump." Jiang Yichen patted its head and said comfortingly.

The turtle actually understood what he meant, squinted his eyes again, and continued to rest.

The IQ of the animals in this sea is really high, Jiang Yichen was very surprised.

After a while, the frozen fish melted, and he used a knife to cut the fish into small pieces and threw it in front of the turtle.

The turtle was not polite, stretched its neck and quickly pecked at it, and then looked at him with a blank eye.

"Hey, the wounded's appetite is still so good, it's not easy." Jiang Yichen said with a smile and sped up the speed of his hand.
