Chapter 12 Footprints on the Bottom of the Sea

Chen Xuan entered the "East China Sea" again with the mood of exploration, this time he was much more cautious, he had not found anything abnormal before, and he belonged to the fearless of the unknown.

Once inside, he cautiously observed the seabed while searching for precious seafood. This time I looked more closely, so I took a closer look at the abundant vegetation of the seabed. While sighing at such beauty, I blamed myself again for not noticing before. This can't be helped, after all, these underwater scenery are not as attractive as sea cucumbers, brown crabs, and groupers.

After a while, Chen Xuan swam to the reef area where he had been last time and saw a large school of groupers again. In Chen Xuan's eyes, they are so cute.

Chen Xuan looked around and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he started fishing. The last time he didn't have diving equipment, he still relied on his hands and net bags to catch a mouse spot, which was his luck. This time, though, the preparation was much better.

Chen Xuan mounted the fish arrow and aimed at a mouse spot not far away, and with a whoosh, the fish arrow passed through quickly, and then pierced through the body of the mouse spot.

"Hey, hey, exactly. Chen Xuan grinned, stepped forward and grabbed the still struggling mouse spot, put it in the net bag, and pulled out the fish arrow.

Then, the hunt continues.

Of course, Chen Xuan is not accurate every time, and the success rate is less than 30%, but there are too many fish nearby, and some fish are not swimming fast. So after a while, Chen Xuan's net bag was filled with many pieces, most of which were precious groupers.

However, after being frightened again and again, no grouper came out of the vicinity, and either fled or got into the crevice of the stone and refused to come out.

Chen Xuan didn't plan to wait here and prepared to leave.

At this moment, he saw that in the middle of the large reef, there were many small particles suspended in the seawater, the color was transparent, and when he looked closely, it seemed to be fish eggs.

"It's probably grouper eggs. Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, and he took out a plastic bag and fished the fish eggs into it as much as he could, and of course he also filled a bag of seawater.

After sealing the plastic bag, he swam away, because he was afraid of this place, he did not dare to continue swimming deeper, but swam along the edge of the East China Sea.

After swimming for a while, I saw a lot of shrimp on the bottom of the sea, they were more than ten centimeters long, between small shrimp and lobsters, with red spots on their bodies, huge eyes, and strong legs...... Chen Xuan looked at it for a while, but he didn't recognize what kind of shrimp it was.

However, he thought that since it was a sea shrimp, it must be edible, so he began to catch it. These shrimp are not very fast, but it is not easy to catch them in the sea, and such a small one does not need to shoot a speargun, so it can only be covered with a net bag.

It took a while to catch a dozen of them, which made Chen Xuan a little discouraged, and felt that it was not worth wasting too much time on them, so he continued to swim forward.

"Hmm, what's that?" Chen Xuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he quickly swam forward and stopped above a layer of sand. When I looked down, I saw a whole row of footprints on the bottom of the sea. Those footprints don't look like the footprints of any sea creatures such as sea crabs and turtles, but they are a bit like human footprints, but they only have two thick toes, and they are not exactly human footprints.

"This ...... Maybe I'm thinking too much, maybe it's the footprints of some kind of sea creature, but I can't recognize it because I'm so lonely that I don't know it. The corners of Chen Xuan's mouth twitched, trying to relax himself. However, he couldn't let go of it at all, so he took a few photos with his mobile phone.

The more he looked, the more he felt panicked, and when he looked around, he felt that the silent seabed was a little inexplicably terrifying. He looked at the dying fish in the net bag that had been pierced by the arrow holes, and decided that he might as well go ashore first. The success rate of fishing with spearguns is much higher, but the fish will die after a while, and I am afraid that it will not be fresh after a long time.

Chen Xuan floated to the beach, only to find that he had arrived at the beach close to his backyard, so he chose a place to go ashore, and returned home with all his things, grandma and sister were not there, they probably went to the small restaurant for breakfast and help, Chen Xuan found a glass water tank, and poured the seawater and fish eggs in the plastic bag into it.

Then, Chen Xuan was ready to deal with the fish that had just died, but it was really not easy to handle, he was not good at this, and the refrigerator was almost full. After thinking about it, he simply carried all the fish and ran to the beach by the sea, and handed it to his father to get it.

"Uncle Ying, I'll give you a fish. As he passed by Chen Yinghao's shop, Chen Xuan stopped and took out a fish from the net bag.

"Haha, you kid is really trustworthy, I was just casually talking...... Wait, isn't this a six-belt grouper?" Chen Yinghao said and walked out with a smile, but after seeing the fish that Chen Xuan handed him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. This fish has a brown body with 6 brown transverse bands on the sides of the body, and a fan-shaped tail fin with numerous irregular black spots.

Chen Yinghao recognized, this is clearly a six-belt grouper, this is recognized as one of the better grouper species, although not as good as mouse grouper, but the price is 80-100 yuan a catty, this fish is not big, more than a catty, but it is estimated to be hundreds of yuan.

Looking at the fish in Chen Xuan's net bag again, his eyes widened, because he could see that there were a lot of groupers in it, and he could also see mouse spots.

"I'll go, you kid has only been gone for a while, why did you get so many groupers, where did we get so many groupers on the beach?" Chen Yinghao was stunned.

"Uncle Ying, I don't have time to elaborate on you, I have to deal with these fish as soon as possible. Chen Xuan said, stuffed the six-banded grouper into Chen Yinghao's hand, and turned around and ran.

"Wait, just give me an ordinary fish, this one is too expensive for me to accept. Chen Yinghao said, but Chen Xuantou didn't run back.

The owners of two nearby stores also walked out.

"I saw that Ah Xuan seemed to be carrying a bag of grouper. ”

"Where do we get so many groupers on the beach?"

"This kid has really become a master of fishing. ”

Chen Xuan soon ran to a small restaurant opened by his parents, his sister and grandmother were really helping, and the family didn't want her grandmother to be tired anymore, but she just couldn't be idle.

Seeing Chen Xuan carrying so many groupers, grandma, Chen Xi, Chen Yi, and Li Fengjiao were all surprised, if they hadn't been shocked yesterday, they couldn't believe it at this moment.

Chen Xuan took over some of Chen Yi's work, and Chen Yi came to deal with those fish, and quickly removed the internal organs and preserved them freshly. In addition to the grouper, there are a few common fish, which are not preserved, and are cut directly and used to make fillet porridge.

After a while, after the fresh fish fillet porridge was baked, even the customers outside smelled the fragrance, inhaled deeply, and showed a hint of intoxication, thinking how to feel the breakfast in this store today, which was extraordinarily fragrant.
