Chapter 30: Red Blood Coral

Li Baye watched everyone busy, and a smile appeared on his face.

Of course, this group of redtail fish was not a gift from heaven and was lucky to encounter it, but it was found when Xiaohong was hunting, and at this moment, in the depths of the seagrass not far away, Xiaohong was trying to drive away the redtail fish in the seagrass.

However, redtail fish naturally prefer places with dense aquatic weeds, and are reluctant to swim far when driven out.

That's why the monkeys were able to see such a dense school of redtail fish, and they were slow to disperse and let them fish.

The morning passed like this, Zhao Qinglong, Hou Feng, Li Mo and others spread their arms and worked enthusiastically at first, smiling happily, but after pulling more than a dozen nets in a row, no one could laugh, because they were too tired.

But the boss didn't say stop, and they could only grit their teeth and insist.

In fact, it's not that Li Baye is inconsiderate of his subordinates, but because he himself has gotten carried away, when everyone was busy fishing, he was not idle, he directly changed into a pair of big shorts, jumped into the sea, on the one hand, you can enjoy the wonders of the sea, on the other hand, you can also practice breathlessness in the water.

During this period, he also played with Xiaohong for a while, Xiaohong's speed in the sea is very fast, eight tentacles are its thrusters, and he can swim out two or three zhang between breaths, at the bottom of the sea, Li Baye has seen magnificent corals, blue seagrass, dangerous sea snakes, camouflaged manta rays, as well as clumsy sea turtles, colorful fish species, the beauty of the sea makes him linger and deeply obsessed.

When the sun hung high in the sky, Li Baye finally felt a little tired from soaking, so he returned to the dragon head boat, only to find that everyone was too tired to pull the net, lying on the fish pile and panting for breath.

As soon as the monkey saw the boss coming back, he seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly ran over to report the catch of the fish, including the dragon head boat, all the fish boxes were already filled with redtail fish, in addition, the cabin was also covered with a layer of fish, and it was roughly estimated that it should be no less than five thousand catties!

"According to the market purchase price, the redtail fish is 6 wen yuan a catty, which is at least 30,000 wen copper coins, which is equivalent to 30 taels of silver! Boss! We have made a fortune!" the monkey said excitedly, and even forgot the title given by Li Baye, and directly called the boss.

"Well, that's good, everyone has worked hard, each person will be rewarded with 100 Wen! Li Mo has performed well today, and he will be rewarded with an additional 50 Wen, and he will go home and send money! Go! Return!" Li Baye fully affirmed everyone's hard work, and the reward quickly followed, without being stingy.

Everyone cheered, instantly restored their morale, pulled up the sails, sang the trumpet, and started the return journey!

Li Baye changed his clothes, sat in the cabin, and finally warmed up the wine with interest, and drank two glasses of pleasure.

It can be said that the harvest of this trip to sea is not small, and the 5,000 catties of redtail fish alone is a huge fortune! Moreover, this is only a morning's harvest, and the next time I go to sea with a few more boats, I believe that the catch will be even greater.

Of course, it would be a big mistake to think that his harvest was only these 5,000 catties of fish.

With the Red Devil, the ultimate ocean overlord, to help him explore the treasure, how could he just catch some fish and go back?

Li Baye saw that the monkey and the fat dragon were both outside the cabin to rudder, and there happened to be no one left and right, his heart moved, and a palm-sized coral suddenly appeared in his hand, only to see that its whole body was dark red, crystal clear, and under the refraction of the light, it looked extremely magnificent and mysterious.

This thing is called "Red Blood Coral", which is a very rare coral, or in popular terms, it is actually a mutation, but the probability of this mutation may only be 1 in a few hundred thousand, and its preciousness can be seen.

Common coral is a kind of medicine, which can be used to brighten the eyes, calm the nerves, and have high medicinal value. The red blood coral, as the best in the coral, its medicinal effect is even more extraordinary, at present it is used in medicinal baths most of the time, is the core of the medicinal bath formula.

Li Baye had bought medicinal materials for medicinal baths, so he naturally knew how expensive red blood coral was, and at that time, he bought only half a catty, and spent more than 20 taels of silver, which was one of the most expensive medicines in the medicinal bath formula.

The piece he is holding in his hand now is afraid that it weighs more than a catty, and it is worth at least 50 taels, and such a red blood coral, there are still a lot of them in his system space!

The total value is at least more than 1,000 taels!

Of course, all this is the credit of Xiaohong, don't look at Xiaohong is a fish monster, but the wisdom is almost as good as a five-year-old child, and the memory is also very clear, when Li Baye described to it the appearance of several common underwater treasures, it immediately thought of red blood coral, after all, it is a variant, the color is extremely dark, it is very conspicuous in a large group of ordinary corals, and it usually likes to eat this kind of coral.

When I heard that Xiaohong ate red blood coral as a snack, it made Li Baye angry enough, it was a tyrannical thing!

Immediately issued the supreme instruction, if you encounter red blood coral, you are not allowed to eat it!

So as soon as he went out to sea, Li Baye followed Xiaohong's guidance and went to the southern bay, where there are not only seagrass, but also countless corals.

His target is the red-blooded coral, and as for the redtail, it's just an unexpected little surprise!

All morning, Li Baye instructed Xiaohong to search for red blood corals, and almost searched all the coral groups in the southern bay.

So, don't look at the red blood coral worth thousands of taels in one sea, and the next time you go to sea, you won't have so many resources to dig up, unless you go further away.

However, according to Xiaohong, there are still several places in its memory that are "rich in deliciousness", and even remembers the location of a sunken ship, these are all places to dig treasures, Li Baye quietly wrote it down in his heart, and saw when he would sneak out next time to visit all these places.

......

When the fleet of the Fishing Tyrant Alliance returned to the village port, the fishing team in the village had not returned, but there were people left behind at the scene.

The four boatloads of fish made everyone stunned, and Hou Feng naturally raised his eyebrows.

"I can see clearly, this is not a small yellow croaker, but a redtail fish! 5,000 catties!" Hou Feng raised his chin and said to the elite of the fishing team who stayed behind with his nostrils.

Without waiting for the other party to refute, he added: "This is just a half-day catch!"

Looking at the other party's red and white faces, Hou Feng and Zhao Qinglong and other men from the Fishing Tyrant Alliance all laughed happily!

For the first time, they felt the true pride of being a member of the Fishing Alliance!

Just as Li Baye was about to let people unload the goods, a rough voice sounded in the distance: "Today is a good day! The first group of people came back so soon? I heard that you caught a lot of redtail fish? That's a rare fish species, and I have collected all of them!" Hahaha......

Li Baye frowned, looked up, and saw a black-faced and square-eared man with a horizontal axis, with a mouthful of big yellow teeth, trotting over quickly, followed by two sturdy men in green clothes and horse coats.

"Alliance leader, that person's name is Cao Lingyang, nicknamed Cao Daya, he is a fishmonger, and he seems to want to collect our fish. The monkey hurried over and explained in Li Baye's ear.

Li Baye nodded, his eyes narrowed slowly, he wanted to see what price the other party could offer, if the price was reasonable, he didn't mind just disposing of all these fish, and then going out to sea again in the afternoon.

Of course, it's more likely that this thing wants to slaughter itself!
