Chapter 44: Seafood from Hell III
As the tide gradually recedes, the surrounding wind and waves become smaller and smaller.
Ghost Head Reef and some of the surrounding reefs are also gradually coming to the surface.
Li Xiaofeng drove the fishing boat and began to drive slowly in the direction of Guitou Reef.
After the boat traveled for a while, Li Xiaofeng didn't dare to move forward anymore.
Although the low tide has brought many reefs to the surface, many more still stand silently on the bottom of the sea.
After parking the fishing boat and fixing the anchor, Li Xiaofeng prepared to start landing on Guitou Reef.
At this time, the wind and waves on the sea were much smaller than when they first came, Liu Xuexia and Li Xiaofeng looked at the gradually calming sea, and also let go of their hanging hearts.
With tools such as tapers, woven bags, and hemp ropes, Li Xiaofeng jumped off the boat again.
Looking at her son, who was fully armed and was about to swim towards Guitou Reef, Liu Xuexia suddenly felt a panic for some reason.
She hurriedly told her son again: "Feng cub, you must be careful in the past!" Whether you can pick the dog claw snail or not, your own safety is the most important thing! ”
"Mom, don't worry!" Li Xiaofeng replied briskly, "I will pay attention to safety!" ”
After finishing speaking, Li Xiaofeng waved his hand at Liu Xuexia and Li Xiaoqiang on the fishing boat, activated the thruster, and began to swim in the direction of Guitou Reef.
As he got closer and closer to Guitou Reef, Li Xiaofeng's body could clearly feel that the undercurrent under the water surface was getting bigger and bigger.
If it weren't for the thrusters, he might not have been able to swim here, and he would have been swept away by the undercurrent.
But now, as we get closer and closer to Ghost Head Reef, it seems that the power of the thrusters is gradually running out!
It seems that I still underestimated the danger of Ghost Head Reef!
Just when Li Xiaofeng was hesitating whether to give up, the pull of the undercurrent under the sea surface suddenly increased, and before he could react, the undercurrent pulled him down to the bottom of the sea.
Suffered!
At this time, the thrust of the thruster was no longer enough for him to get rid of the pull of this undercurrent!
Li Xiaofeng was involuntarily pulled to the bottom of the sea by the undercurrent!
The more dangerous it is, the more important it is to keep yourself calm!
Li Xiaofeng forced himself to calm down, observing his surroundings to see if there was anything that could help him escape.
When he saw the surrounding situation clearly, Li Xiaofeng's pupils couldn't help but dilate!
At this time, Li Xiaofeng was on the edge of a huge whirlpool, and was being pulled towards the center of the whirlpool little by little.
The whirlpool has a radius of hundreds of meters, in the shape of a huge funnel, suspended in the seawater, and rotates rapidly in a counterclockwise direction.
Looking at it from afar, it's like a huge tornado on the ground, sweeping everything around it into it!
Who would have thought that under the calm sea surface, there would be such a big whirlpool!
Li Xiaofeng told himself that the more this time comes, the more you must stay calm and not struggle indiscriminately, otherwise your physical strength will be exhausted, and you will really have to explain here today!
Now that he can't break free, he simply turns off the thrusters and lets himself go down the whirlpool to the bottom of the sea.
He knows that all the whirlpools are a cone that is big at the top and small at the bottom!
As long as you stay calm, when you are close to the bottom of the whirlpool, as long as you seize the opportunity, you will definitely be thrown out of the whirlpool!
Sure enough, as the whirlpool rotated, he was gradually pulled to the bottom of the sea, and began to get closer and closer to the bottom of the whirlpool.
Seeing that the bottom of the whirlpool was getting closer and closer, he decisively turned on the thruster, and was thrown out of the whirlpool in an instant!
At this time, Li Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, he had to be glad that he was wearing a full set of equipment and carrying an oxygen cylinder, otherwise he would have been suffocated!
Fortunately, this is offshore, and the sea water is not too deep, otherwise even if you wear an oxygen mask, you will be crushed to death by the huge water pressure after being pulled to the bottom of the sea!
No wonder those ships that had an accident, no one could escape from here!
They don't have Li Xiaofeng's equipment!
I looked at the diver's watch, and it was already more than 80 meters deep from the sea.
If you are not a professional diver like him, you can't adapt to such deep water.
Li Xiaofeng also noticed that the surrounding seabed was scattered with the wreckage of many ships!
Many have rotted and turned into silt from the bottom of the sea.
But there are also some that are not completely rotten, stacked on the bottom of the sea, like a grave bag!
They are here, close to the ancient Maritime Silk Road, and it is not just fishing boats that have trouble here!
However, today is not suitable for exploring here, Li Xiaofeng adjusted the direction of the probe and began to drive away from the whirlpool.
At this time, Liu Xuexia and Li Xiaoqiang, two people on the fishing boat, watched that after Li Xiaofeng went into the water, more than half an hour had passed, but they had not shown up, and they couldn't help but start to get anxious.
As time passed, the two of them became more and more anxious, and Li Xiaoqiang even had the urge to jump into the sea to take a look!
Fortunately, after another ten minutes, Li Xiaofeng surfaced from a distance!
At this time, the two of them were relieved.
After Li Xiaofeng surfaced, he waved hello to the two people on the fishing boat, identified the direction, and began to swim towards Guitou Reef again.
After a while, he swam to the side of Devil's Head Reef.
Cautiously climbing the reef, he tried to pry up the claw snail on the reef with a change cone.
But the reef is wet and slippery, and with the waves washing away, there is no way to get a foothold on it!
Li Xiaofeng looked around, and finally decided to climb to the top of the Ghost Head Reef, fix the rope on a protruding rock above, and then lower himself from above!
Now that he had made his decision, he began to climb more carefully to the top of Devil's Head Reef.
The reef is wet and slippery, and the way up is very difficult!
He could only be cautious, looking for a foothold.
If you step on a slippery step, your head will be hard reefs, and even if you can't fall to death, you won't be able to run with a broken bone!
Sweat began to flow down and into his eyes.
But he didn't dare to wipe the sweat from the corners of his eyes with his hands.
Liu Xuexia and Li Xiaoqiang, who were in the distance, also stood up nervously, looking at their son (elder brother) moving little by little on the Guitou Reef in the distance.
Finally, Li Xiaoqiang climbed to the top of the reef and fixed one end of the rope to a solid rock, and the other end wrapped around his waist.
At this time, Li Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief!
After resting for a while, he began to lower the rope and pry the claw snail on the reef with the change cone.
The dog's claw snail is very tightly attached to the reef, and he has to use a lot of strength to pry it every time he pries one.
While prying, you have to hold yourself in place to prevent the rope from swinging.
Especially when the bottom of the reef is picked, there are still waves coming, which makes the picking process more and more difficult.
It's not a shame that it is called the devil's seafood, no wonder people die every year because of picking dog claw snails!
Fortunately, it is the dog claw snail in this place, no one should have come to pick it, and the reef is full of fat and big dog claw snails!
It took more than two hours to fill the first bag.
Li Xiaofeng carefully fished it down with a rope, and he didn't let go of his hanging heart until he saw a bag full of dog claw snails fall on a slightly wider rock.
I took out the second woven bag on my body and started to get busy!
As the time passed, it was already afternoon and the tide was starting to rise on the sea!
The waves near Devil's Head Reef are also getting bigger!
Although the second bag is not yet full, the weight should be enough!
Li Xiaofeng also had to give up and continue picking dog claw snails.
The current situation no longer allows him to mine anymore, and if he doesn't go out now, it will be difficult to leave Ghost Head Reef in the future.
In this way, Li Xiaofeng carefully put himself down, and then the rope didn't care about taking it back, so he turned on the propeller, dragged two bags of dog claw snails, avoided the whirlpool area, and sailed towards the fishing boat!
