Episode 12: Spearfish, Unexpected Bonus!

For many people, hunting is just a game, but when you find out that it's a game of survival, the taste is very different.

At this moment, Cheng Fei was wading through the sea water slowly, his eyes were like torches, sweeping the surrounding waters, wanting to find another big fish worthy of his shot as a prey, he believed that as long as he did not make the previous mistakes again, with extraordinary strength, speed and reaction, he would definitely be able to hit with one blow.

Xu is heavens sensed what he was thinking, and after a while, another fat eel appeared in Cheng Fei's sight, with a slender body nearly two feet long, gray-white, swimming in the water at will, not realizing that he had been targeted by a hungry person.

This time, Cheng Fei didn't rush to make a move, his eyes were calm, he stared at the eel, and after a long while, he finally grasped what he thought was an excellent opportunity, and the harpoon in his hand suddenly stabbed out.

"Whoa!"

With extraordinary strength and speed, the harpoon that suddenly stabbed out broke through the water almost instantly, and stabbed the target with incomparable precision. The eel, which had been hit hard, suddenly twisted and rolled, splashing in all directions, but it had been pierced by the harpoon, and no matter how much it struggled, it was difficult to break free after all.

"Hit!"

One hit the target, Cheng Fei suddenly smiled with surprise on his face, he held the harpoon with one hand, and pinned the struggling eel tightly, but the other hand reached into the water, grabbed the eel's head, and grabbed it hard, only to hear a crisp sound, and the hard fish head was crushed by him.

Although the vitality of the eel is very tenacious, but without a head, even if the vitality is tenacious, it is useless, and the writhing body gradually stands still, which means that Cheng Fei's hunt has been successful!

Take back the harpoon and hold the eel in your hand, it is very weighty, to say the least there are two or three catties, plus the meat of the eel is good and rich in fat, it can definitely be regarded as a big meal.

However, now Cheng Fei's appetite has increased greatly, far from being comparable to before, just such an eel is definitely not enough for him to eat, so in order to fill his stomach, he has to continue his hunting journey.

Tethering the eel to the waist of his trousers with a rattan, Cheng Fei carried the harpoon and walked forward, the movement here was not small, even if there were fish, they were scared away, so he could find a new hunting target if he got farther away.

Soon, he came to a coral reef water, the terrain of this water area is more complex than before, and the water is much deeper, almost reaching the root of Cheng Fei's thigh, but at the same time, it also has the richest and most diverse ecological circulation system in the world, which means that Cheng Fei is likely to find more food here.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cheng Fei to find an eel in a crevice of a bunch of coral reefs, he saw the opportunity, stabbed hard, and the harpoon hit the target again.

Compared with the one hunted before, this one is obviously smaller, but it also has a weight of more than a catty, which is enough for Cheng Fei to be regarded as a big piece of meat.

"One more one, and I'll call it a day and go back!"

Cheng Fei calculated his appetite and continued to search the water, looking for the next target. It's a pity that due to the movement caused by his hunting, even the shadow of the fish in the nearby waters can't be seen, which makes Cheng Fei feel helpless, and wonders if he will change places again, however, before he can put it into action, he suddenly has a new discovery.

"It's ......... Anchovy snails?!"

Cheng Fei looked at the big guy attached to the coral reef in disbelief, if he said other conchs, he might not recognize them, but he could recognize this anchovy snail at a glance. The reason why this is so is because when he and his girlfriend Jiang Xue were dating and shopping, they once met in a gift shop.

The phoenix tail snail, also known as the big conch, the sea god snail, and the Tang crown snail, Wanbao snail, and the nautilus snail are called the world's four famous snails, the tower is high and pointed, and the pattern is as gorgeous as the "phoenix tail". Its majestic and spirited appearance is a symbol of strength, and it is said to ward off evil spirits and bless peace, and is often used by sea and mountain people as a horn to exorcise demons, and is regarded as an important ritual weapon in Tibetan Buddhism. In addition, its number is scarce, ranking first among the four famous snails.

Most girls naturally like beautiful things, and Jiang Xue is naturally no exception, she fell in love with these beautiful conches at a glance, and held them in her hands one by one to enjoy them.

As a boyfriend, Cheng Fei also wanted to give her a favorite gift, but these big conches in the gift shop, big and good-looking, often cost thousands of yuan, and the high price made him feel embarrassed. It's not that he doesn't even have a few thousand dollars on him, it's just that it is difficult for him to spend thousands of dollars to buy a conch.

Fortunately, Jiang Xue is a reasonable girl, she knows the situation in Cheng Fei's family, so she doesn't force it. It's just that because of her lack of demand, it makes Cheng Fei feel uncomfortable. Although it has been a long time, he still has a deep memory of the anchovy snail in his heart.

Then again, the anchovy snail in front of him, whether it is color, shape, or size, far exceeds the ones he saw in the gift shop, not to mention the color, just the tower length of more than 50 centimeters, in the anchovy snail and even the entire conch world, it is enough to be regarded as a very rare big man.

"Good stuff!"

Not only because his girlfriend likes it, but also because, in Cheng Fei's eyes, this is a big piece of meat in front of his eyes, so he didn't say a word, and directly grabbed the anchovy snail in his hand.

It seems that such a big conch is not only very weighty in itself, but also has a strong adsorption force, fortunately, Cheng Fei is not a vegetarian, and his hands are full of strength, and he immediately broke the anchovy snail off the coral reef.

With such an unexpected discovery, Cheng Fei was no longer in a hurry to catch fish, but searched among the nearby coral reefs, as if he remembered that all shellfish creatures are regional, that is, if he can find a phoenix snail here, he can find a second anchovy snail, or other shellfish.

It turns out that his memory is still very good, because soon he has a new harvest, it is a bowl-sized horseshoe snail, the pink and white shell is not satisfied with black and red lines, although it is not as beautiful as the phoenix snail in appearance, however, the large piece of meat inside is still very attractive to Cheng Fei.

Therefore, when Cheng Fei found a second horseshoe snail next to him, he simply gave up his plan to continue fishing and began to collect large conch snails.

The reef was so full of shellfish that it took him less than half an hour to find five or six large conch shells and a sea shell the size of two or three palms.

The seashell looked beautiful, its shell crystal white, with dark blue streaks, and no messy spots, similar to the one he had picked up on the beach, only smaller.

Cheng Fei guessed that this should be a pearl oyster, but unfortunately, he didn't know it, but the type of conch, he knew it well, because they were all horseshoe snails, although Cheng Fei wanted to find another phoenix snail, but this was obviously not an easy thing.

As a large conch in the ocean, these horseshoe snails found by Cheng Fei were each the size of a bowl, and in order to bring these big guys back to his residence, he had to take off his shirt as a container.

After returning from the hunt, Cheng Fei looked back on this time when he went to the sea, he first hunted two eels, and then collected more than a dozen large conch and a huge pearl oyster, which is definitely a big harvest, not to mention anything else, the amount of meat alone is enough for him to have a full meal.

And, most importantly, he found a large number of shellfish in the coral reef waters, which is undoubtedly much easier to collect conch and sea shells than fishing, so to speak, a new and stable food source.

For adventurers who are trying to survive in the wild, it is definitely a rare blessing to be able to find an easily accessible and relatively stable source of food.

This means that he can put aside his food concerns and concentrate on how to complete the second side quest and obtain the new Mystery Chest. Of course, before that, he had to fill his stomach..........
