After the shrimp pots were set up, Chu Mingcheng took a spear gun and prepared to hunt some reef fish, but these reef fish were more or less disappointed to him.

Originally, he thought that he could encounter many aquatic creatures that were not available in China in Australia, but after coming here, he found that most of the reef fish in these places in the South China Sea are found in the South China Sea.

It is really not easy for him to find something that is not available in China, and perhaps only in the deep sea can he find some varieties that are not available in China.

It's a pity that deep-sea fish are too random, and he is not easy to encounter.

Originally, there was a world-famous salmon in Tasmania, and Chu Mingcheng wanted to get some, but after learning about it, he was a little pity.

Wild salmon has parasites and is not popular locally.

The most popular is farmed salmon in northern Tasmania, which is more acceptable because it can effectively solve the problem of parasites when farmed, and the taste is no worse than that of wild ones.

Chu Mingcheng's plug-in is ineffective for farmed aquatic products, which makes him lose interest in salmon.

However, there are a lot of good freshwater fish in Australia, and you can get some after you catch the king crab.

Now this point in time happens to be the time when the reef fish are more active, and under the illumination of the headlamp, some fish appear in Chu Mingcheng's sight from time to time.

However, his goal is very clear, which is the Eastern Star Spot.

In China, the Eastern Star Spotter is protected, but it is not available here, and the price is good, and the unit price of selling to Noah has reached 20 Australian dollars.

After a while, Chu Mingcheng finally found a few Eastern Star Spots.

However, the largest one appeared green in his eyes, apparently with ciguatera poison, which made him feel a little pity.

Picked up the speargun, and it didn't take long for him to pocket all these eastern star spots, except for the one with ciguatera poison.

The four eastern star spots hit are not very large, with an average of only five or six catties, and they are more than 400 Australian dollars.

Chu Mingcheng is not too little, anyway, his main targets are emperor crabs and lobsters, and the fish is incidental.

After walking around the entire coral reef, he had already hit twenty-three eastern star spots, the small ones were still five or six catties, and the largest was estimated to be twenty or thirty catties.

That's a good harvest, and a few thousand dollars is not a lot of income. He also found several gathering places for the dragon, and when the shrimp pots were recovered and emptied, they could be placed directly near the gathering place.

It's a pity that no particularly valuable fish were found in the deep ditch today, so Chu Mingcheng had to go back to the boat first and put these eastern star spots into the refrigerated cabin.

When he got out of the water and returned to the boat, the lights on the boat were bright, and he was surprised to notice that the color of these eastern star spots did not seem to be right.

Some colors are orange-red, some are pink, and the spots are not black, but blue.

These are supposed to be close relatives of the Eastern Star Grouper, the Thai Star Grouper, which is considered a subspecies.

Fortunately, the taste and price are similar, so there is no need to sort them out.

After the fish was saved, Chu Mingcheng went back to take a bath, lay on the bed and played games.

Tonight, he didn't encounter any more long-bodied sawfish or schools of real sea bream in the deep ditch, and he had to find reef fish slowly, so he couldn't get motivated, so he stole a little lazy.

The next day, it was only half past five in the morning, and Chu Mingcheng had already gotten up as soon as the sun rose.

After washing up and having breakfast, he changed into a wetsuit to check on the crab and shrimp pots.

He came to the deep water area first, to see if there were many king crabs last night, and by the way, he could catch the king crabs outside the crab pot.

As a result, as soon as he reached the bottom of the water, he was scared.

A huge, unrecognizable corpse appeared not far from the crab pot.

No, it should be said that Chu Mingcheng's crab pot was placed in a coincidental location, just next to this huge corpse.

Several deep-sea sharks were gnawing on the carcass, their heads flailing around, apparently sturdy.

There are also many strange-looking fish, crabs, and more.

The scene of eating alone makes Chu Mingcheng terrifying, and it is so permeating.

It's just such a big meal, and there are a lot of king crabs and spider crabs attracted.

It's a pity that these spider crabs are too small, and if they are larger, they can be caught and sold for money.

Among them, Chu Mingcheng even saw several huge king crabs, which were much smaller than the emperor crabs he caught last time, but they were estimated to weigh more than thirty catties.

With so many walking Aussie, how can he leave?

And if nothing else, the huge corpse in front of me should be a whale.

Chu Mingcheng endured his nausea and slowly approached, he always felt that if he got close, he would be contaminated by the sea water with corpse bacteria near the corpse, which made him resist in his heart.

But there are a lot of Australian dollars walking here, which is so attractive.

After getting closer, Chu Mingcheng first looked at the corpse and found that its mouth was basically intact.

The sharp teeth and the shape of the mouth made him immediately recognize that it was a dead sperm whale.

It's a pity that the sperm whale's head has been almost gnawed, and only this mouth is left.

But the length of this jaw alone is about the same as Chu Mingcheng's height, and you can see how big this sperm whale is here.

He looked at it and then looked away, and the picture was really uncomfortable.

Chu Mingcheng left here first, and went to the crab pot not far away to take a look at the situation, and found that the harvest in the crab pot was not good, it was basically empty, and the emperor crabs should have been attracted away by the corpse of the sperm whale.

Looking at this, he has a lot of work.

Chu Mingcheng returned to the corpse and began to carry the eating emperor crab.

However, this time the move is basically small, and the big ones are kept for the time being, and he has other plans later.

The sperm whale, which is more than twenty meters long, attracts countless predators.

In addition, this is also a gathering place for emperor crabs, which caused Chu Mingcheng to clean up the king crab that was roughly less than ten catties on one side of the sperm whale carcasse, and the crab pot was already full.

He didn't take care of the crab pot anymore, but picked up a huge king crab and returned to the boat first.

Thirty pounds of emperor crab can just be put into the living water tank, and it can also be saved from crawling on the deck.

Chu Mingcheng took out a five-hundred-meter-long strong horse line from the fishing gear bag and tied one end to the rope of the crane.

Obviously, he planned to go down with the fishing line, tie the emperor crabs one by one, and then pull them up directly with a crane.

Compared with so many emperor crabs, the cost of a box of strong horse threads is nothing at all.

Back at the bottom of the water, this time Chu Mingcheng not only had to tie up the king crab, but also had to face several large sharks that were feeding.

When he first arrived, he recognized these sharks, which were six-gill sharks.

This shark can grow up to more than five meters and is a large deep-sea shark.

However, the ones in front of me are not so big, and their length is more than three meters.

As long as this kind of shark doesn't provoke them, they won't take the initiative to attack humans, which is why Chu Mingcheng was relieved to carry the king crab on the other side of the corpse just now.

But now, he has to face these sharks.

Because as long as they get close, these sharks may think that he is predators and attack him.

After all, they don't know when they'll be there when they're full, and there's no telling if other sharks will appear after they're gone.

Chu Mingcheng didn't bring a speargun, but he did bring a diving rod and a fish spear.

Without hesitation, he swam over, turned on his wand, and slammed it on the head of a sixgill shark.

A series of obvious electric lights appeared, and the sixgill shark immediately let go of the whale meat it was biting after eating the pain, turned its head and ran.

Several nearby sixgill sharks also gave up eating and began to circle around Chu Mingcheng, as if to confirm the danger of this strange creature.

He didn't stop waiting for the shark to leave, and continued to hit a sixgill shark in the waist with his diving rod.

A series of electric lights appeared, and the sixgill shark that was in pain immediately turned its head and bit him, and its reaction speed was very fast.

But no matter how fast it was, it was not as fast as Chu Mingcheng, who had been prepared for a long time.

The moment he dodged his hind legs, the diving rod hit the shark's head again, and it trembled with electricity.

The six-gill shark was also scared, and subconsciously took another bite, and immediately turned around and ran after the bite was empty, just like the first one.

Then, in the dark deep water, there were electric lights from time to time, until there was only one left, a sixgill shark that would not leave.

A stream of water rushed in, and Chu Mingcheng moved quickly to the side, dodging the impact of this six-gill shark.

Then he immediately followed, and before the sixgill shark could turn, he reached out and grabbed the shark's tail.

The tail was attacked, and the sixgill shark immediately writhed and struggled violently.

The shark of more than three meters has a lot of strength, even the current Chu Mingcheng is not easy to control, maybe he will have the opportunity to catch the shark and smash it on the sand bed in the future.

But this was not his purpose, in order to prevent the iron-headed shark from making trouble for himself, he grabbed the shark's tail with one hand and was carried away, and picked up the fish spear with the other.

The tip of the spear was aimed at the shark's stomach, and he pressed the switch and stabbed it hard.

The sixgill shark is not a protected animal, and he didn't want to bring it back, so it doesn't matter if he kills it.

This thing can't be sold for money, so it has some research value.

But Chu Mingcheng is now in Australia, and the research career here is his business, not in China.

After the fish spear pierced into the shark's stomach, Chu Mingcheng immediately let go of the hand that grabbed the tail, and then grabbed the fish spear with both hands and pulled it out with force.

The barb also pulled out a large piece of flesh, and blood immediately flowed out of the wound.

The shark has long been afraid of being seriously injured, and when the fish spear is pulled out, it immediately runs without looking back, as for whether it can survive, it depends on its creation, and it is estimated that it will die.

Finally drove away the troublesome guys, Chu Mingcheng could return to the sperm whale corpse with peace of mind and tie up the emperor crabs one by one.

On a barely visible fishing line in the water, the tied king crabs look very helpless.

They were large and small, and apparently the king crab next to the sperm whale carcass was almost caught by him at one time, and only some small ones remained.

After getting busy, Chu Mingcheng grabbed a thirty-pound emperor crab again and began to swim back to the surface.

Back in the boat he put the king crab in the live water tank, then he turned on the crane to the side of the boat and grabbed the fishing line.

The line began to be pulled back slowly, not very fast, and he was not afraid of injury while wearing gloves.

There are about 500 catties of king crabs on the fishing line, and with the resistance of the water, it is not light.

That is, the king crab can't struggle like a fish, otherwise this strong horse line may not be able to withstand it.
