Chapter 32: The Stranded Big Fish
Today is the thirteenth day of our stay in this sea.
Mars's mobile island has undergone a major change.
If it started out as an island where people could sit, it now has its own satellite reef group.
These reefs form a protective ring around it.
In this way, when the Moving Island moves in the sea, the sea creatures will not be able to attack the central island very close to the Moving Island.
Mars has been building in the southerly area of lateness.
He used all the reefs he had replaced in this place.
Then a huge area was formed under the water made of sea reefs.
In the beginning, Mars noticed that as the top of the moving island expanded, the island underneath the water would also grow.
But if you just build a thin layer of reef on the surface of the water, and then wait for the island below the water to get bigger, it's simply not possible.
The daily growth will be related to the reef use you know to change.
It also has to be connected to the center island.
It's going to grow on that.
However, if you want it to grow fast enough, use the replaced reef in this area.
Then the rest of the underwater part starts to grow in size as if it will be replicated.
In this way, it took Mars so long to build the southern area.
On the surface of the water, fan-shaped lattices appeared.
It has been connected with sea reefs on all sides, allowing it to form an enclosed space in this area.
Then, by the time of the process, Mars had already begun to replace the reefs and let the sand begin to fill the space he had created.
Although it now appears that most of the sand is not as exposed as a sandy beach, except for the towering reefs, it is almost out of the water.
A shallow zone was formed within fifty meters of the south side of the moving island.
This shallow area is designed like a real sandy beach, and the sand is completely exposed to the sea in the area near the central island, but the farther away it becomes.
However, Mars has a 20-centimeter-thick reef on the outermost part of the reef as protection, so the sand will not be carried away much.
Some of these reefs are above the water and some below the water, but the lowest area is not 10 centimeters lower.
So as long as there is something in the shallows, it can be seen clearly with the naked eye.
At this moment, Mars is standing in this shallow area, and he and his father are catching fish here.
Even though the water is shallow, the fish struggle, so Mars used the reef to get a stone spear for himself and his father.
Hard, slender and most importantly, the tip is very easy to use, allowing it to pierce into the bodies of these fish with a single force.
Because it's a shallow area, Lawrence doesn't worry about attracting too many sea creatures, but rather the more the better.
The sand fills it into a shallow shoal, where some fish or other seafood is carried in by the waves and then stranded in the area when they exit.
"Father, look!"
Mars picked up some seashells and picked them up to show his father.
I didn't expect that I had just created a beach, and then there were shells.
It seems that these shells prefer to go to shallow water for adsorption.
It's just that most of the shells move too slowly, so they have to rely on the action of the waves.
And so it landed right on the beach in Mars.
When he saw the shell, Lawrence took it curiously, wanting to judge whether it could be eaten or not.
And then at this very moment, a big wave came.
The water, which had only overflowed the instep of his feet, suddenly reached the base of Mars and Lawrence's thighs.
The huge waves didn't bother Mars and his father, they just stood still.
I wanted to see what kind of food the sea brought to their father and son this time.
"There are big fish!"
Mars immediately saw that a large fish carried up by the waves was following back as the waves receded.
"Mars, don't worry, first judge whether this fish has attack power or not. ”
The fish is large, at least larger than an adult.
So even if the fish were able to escape, Lawrence wouldn't risk it.
In this way, he asked his son to calm down and not to be too anxious.
Mars was excited when he saw a big fish, maybe he wanted to hunt a big fish himself.
Today's wind and waves are a bit big, I didn't expect such a good opportunity.
However, he also knows that the seas of this world are more dangerous, and ensuring his safety at all times is the most important thing.
The waves receded.
The big fish is separated by a reef at the edge, and when the water is smaller, it finds that it can't jump out.
At the same time, the fish is not a dangerous creature that the two feared.
Seeing such an opportunity, Mars didn't want to waste time.
He glanced anxiously at his father, and Lawrence nodded at his son.
So, the two stone spears aimed at different positions together and pierced the big fish's body mercilessly.
The huge fish began to struggle with the sting, but the water was so shallow that it just made a huge splash that splashed Mars and his father.
How could two people who had been living in this sea world for many years care about such a little water.
One is tied up, and the other is refilled.
Strive to end the life of this fish when the next big wave comes.
Although Mars did not cooperate with his father to hunt on the water.
But at this moment, under the command of Lawrence, Mars did it seriously and patiently.
His heart was beating fast, but he didn't hesitate.
In a few quick strokes, the blood of the big fish stained the surface of the sea red.
And because it pierced the heart of the big fish and other organs in the belly.
It struggled a little less.
Lawrence and Mars work together to pull the big fish towards the beach on Center Island.
If this big fish is only placed on land, two people can pull it.
Add to that the buoyancy of water at the moment.
The two of them dragged it very easily.
As soon as the two of them left the edge, other schools of predators that smelled blood appeared, and they quickly entered the shallows, and then followed the trail of blood.
These are small, and there are larger, shark-like ones, and they appear, but they can't get in unless they don't want to jump in.
Lawrence and Mars didn't care about the small schools of predators chasing after them, but dragged the big fish ashore as much as they could.
With such a big fish, Mars felt like it was going to be eaten for days.
