Chapter 322: The Cave Under the Water

A lunch ended in the criticism of the three women.

The appearance of the king pods made them resist most instinctively, and in their words, they would not eat this thing even if it was better than a lobster.

So, Chu Mingcheng took screenshots of these similar messages and saved them, so that he could slap his face after he went back.

Chen Yang and Zhang Wei, as men, are very receptive to this, and they both expressed their desire to try it.

After lunch, Chu Mingcheng continued to drive the Poseidon to the open sea.

The remaining grouper deep-sea fish, even if you put a longline, it is better to go to the open sea to catch it.

There are many resources, and it does not delay him to find the wreck.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the Poseidon came to the wreck of the medium-sized cruise ship.

But whether he can find it or not, Chu Mingcheng is not sure at all.

However, he did not rush to look for the wreck, but drove to a small island that he had discovered with his telescope, and found a good place to put down all five longlines.

It's great for exploring shipwrecks at night, but it's better to find them during the day with the sun.

Now that the sun was about to set, Chu Mingcheng certainly didn't have the heart to find the sunken ship immediately.

Once the longline was set, he went to the foredeck to put away the fins.

Making shark fins is actually very troublesome, these completely dried fins are now placed in 60 degrees Celsius water by Chu Mingcheng, and they need to be scalded until soft.

It would take some time, so he chose to prepare dinner.

When he had finished eating, he touched the fins and found that they had softened again, so he took them out and put them in cold water.

He then brought a knife and began to scrape the hard scales and epidermis from the base to the end of the fin.

After scraping, continue to soak the peeled fins in cold water, this time for four hours, and then deboning.

So he simply took the electric winch and went to the stern to fish.

The electric winch was working automatically, and Chu Mingcheng, who was sitting on the chair, looked up at the sky full of stars, and sighed in his heart.

You can't see this kind of scenery in the city anymore!

At this time, the fishing rod suddenly moved, and Chu Mingcheng didn't care about sighing and hurriedly got up and pressed the button to recycle the fishing line.

The fishing line squeaked and was harvested quickly, and after a short while, a Yin Shi lobster with teeth and claws was caught.

"I'll go~"

Seeing the big lobster caught clearly, Chu Mingcheng couldn't care about being surprised, and hurriedly grabbed the fishing line and lifted it up.

The fiery red color, I thought it was an Australian dragon at first glance.

Chu Mingcheng, the name of Yin Shi lobster, has naturally heard of it, but those who know it probably think that this lobster comes from a small day.

But in fact, there are both the Baodao Strait and the South China Sea, but he has never encountered them before.

This Yinshi lobster is about 30 centimeters long, which is relatively large in the size of Yinshi lobster.

I kind of want to show off!

Chu Mingcheng hesitated, afraid that he might not be able to catch the second one this time, so he went to get a fish box first, turned on the oxygen and put the lobster in.

It's better to endure it first, and go back to show off with your daughter-in-law.

Now that he has received a certificate with Jiang Luoluo, this daughter-in-law is justified.

In addition, the living water tank can clear a little space to raise lobsters, but there is only one at the moment, and he doesn't want to be so troublesome.

Then he continued to fish, but after catching two groupers, he caught a slightly smaller Yin Shi lobster, Chu Mingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up, is there a lobster nest here?

The crab pots were not very suitable for catching lobsters, so he did not put the crab pots. But the speed of lobster fishing was also relatively slow, so he simply went to change into a diving suit.

It's not convenient to find a wreck at night, but catching lobsters is too suitable.

Since he knew how to dive, he found that in addition to all kinds of shell conchs that don't move much, lobsters and crabs are relatively easy to catch.

With two large net pockets hanging on his body, Chu Mingcheng decisively jumped into the water.

Turning on his headlamp, he went straight down vertically to the bottom of the water.

After coming here in the evening, it was almost dark, and Chu Mingcheng really didn't know that there was a coral reef under the water.

Then it is not surprising that there are many lobsters here, small boats basically do not come here, and large trawlers do not come to the small island to fish.

Therefore, the location of Chu Ming City is very rich in resources.

As soon as he came to the bottom of the water, he saw all kinds of fish, some of which he had never caught, and some of which he did not even recognize.

Chu Mingcheng knows about domestic fish, but it doesn't mean that he also knows foreign fish.

The resources are so good, it seems that there will be a big harvest when the longline will be collected.

However, he will be more interested in lobsters, Yin Shi lobsters are not rare in China, the price should be about three hundred and one catties, the same size is about the same as Aolong.

It's just that Aolong can grow bigger, and the price will naturally increase with the body size.

When he came to the bottom of the water, Chu Mingcheng smiled when he saw the long whiskers that kept swinging under the coral, but he didn't expect to find a group of lobsters as soon as he came.

This situation he has only encountered in Xisha and abroad.

Chu Mingcheng didn't waste time, and immediately reached out to touch it after he passed.

"Squeak, squeak..."

The lobsters were immediately frightened into making their distinctive sounds, which could still be heard clearly even in the water.

Nearby, one or two lobsters sprang out from under the coral and fled into the distance.

But more of them were still inside, and they just moved to the side, which was why Chu Mingcheng dared to reach out directly to grab them.

With more than a year of professional career, he has a good understanding of the habits of most marine creatures.

When Xisha met the dense lobster, he was afraid that he could only catch one or two, and the other lobsters would all run away.

In the end, I chose to use bait to fish, and then it took a lot of time to catch them all.

At that time, he was new to the industry, and he really didn't know much about the habits of lobsters.

But now it's different, in order to save time, Chu Mingcheng is not afraid of lobsters running at all.

He caught it very quickly, and it only took him a few minutes to catch five good-sized lobsters.

As for the rest, they naturally ran, almost half of them caught and half ran.

Although he ran a lot, he was more efficient than he fished, and then he continued to look for the next lobster nest.

As he expected, there were indeed a lot of lobsters here, and it took him less than two minutes to find a lobster nest at the bottom of another pit.

He also reached out to grab it, and after five minutes, the two large net pockets he brought were full, and there were thirteen Yin Shi lobsters in them.

The number of lobsters here was a bit beyond his imagination, and he quickly swam back to the boat and poured all the lobsters into the fish box, which was immediately half full.

Chu Mingcheng frowned when he saw this, the fish box did not have much space, although it was not full, but the lobster was put too much, and it was estimated that it would not be able to pump oxygen.

Moreover, the oxygen pump has to be charged, which is far less convenient to use than a living water tank.

He simply came to the living water tank on the side of the king with a foot worm, and then arranged the space a little, leaving half of it.

The space of the king has shrunk and it is crowded, but the vitality of this insect is far from comparable to that of lobsters.

He should be back in two days, so it's not a big problem.

Then he poured the lobster into the living water tank, then took out all the net pockets on the boat and hung them on his body, and then jumped into the water to continue catching.

There are eight net pockets hanging on his body, which looks like the eight bags of elders of the beggar gang, which is a bit interesting.

However, carrying eight net pockets also made him not need to go back and forth often, which was a lot more convenient.

Chu Mingcheng was slowly looking for a lobster in the water, and before he knew it, he came to the bottom of the cliff of the island.

The coral reefs here are gradually replaced by reefs, but fortunately, there are still a lot of lobsters.

Chu Mingcheng wondered if there had been no one here for a long time, how could there be so many lobsters.

Of course, after finding it, it was not all Yin Shi lobster, but also dense lobster, green lobster and striped spiny lobster.

These lobsters are about the same size, and so far he has caught more than thirty of them, and they fill six net pockets.

At this moment, he found a large lobster crawling on the edge of a reef.

Chu Mingcheng slowly leaned over, but he didn't know that this lobster was particularly alert, and before he could reach out to the lobster, he suddenly slapped his tail, and suddenly he was far away.

Under normal circumstances, he gave up.

But this lobster is the biggest one I have encountered tonight, reaching more than 50 centimeters.

It would be a pity if this kind of big lobster gave up, so Chu Mingcheng chased after it decisively.

After chasing, a huge cave with a height of one person suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, he quickly stopped, and then watched the lobster swim in and disappear.

Chu Mingcheng looked at this huge cave with a cloudy expression.

The distance where the light could shine was limited, so he went to the mouth of the cave and shone inside, and found that the cave was very deep.

Inside the cave, you can see a lot of fish swimming, and some small crabs crawling.

Chu Mingcheng thought twice and chose to go back and continue to look for other lobsters.

It is not surprising to find caves near the island, because of geological reasons, many cave explorers walk into caves on land, and it is not uncommon for them to come out on the sea.

Chu Mingcheng was a little curious about this cave, and because of the map, even if he got lost in the cave, he could find the right direction.

But who knows exactly where this cave leads, and how long it is, so it has no real profit value, and he is too lazy to venture into it.

Tonight, Chu Mingcheng has been busy.

The number of lobsters caught became smaller and smaller, but in the end he caught more than 80 in total, in which case he simply went back to collect the longline first.

The five longlines were pulled up, and more than 1,000 catties of fish were harvested, which is indeed much more than the domestic sea.

After a busy night, the next day there was more than 700 catties of fish, and there were only more than 1,000 catties left from the customer's order requirements.

The longline continued to be lowered, and Chu Mingcheng began to dive to find the medium-sized cruise ship.

But the information he found was too vague for the description of the geographical location, and the sea was so vast, how could he find it if he searched for it.

I have searched for it from the morning to the late night, and even the water depth of five or six hundred meters, but Chu Mingcheng has not even found a piece of glass.

Although he was mentally prepared, this result more or less discouraged him.

Originally, he planned to continue looking for it the next day, but the weather on the sea changed as soon as it was said, and Chu Mingcheng unfortunately encountered a stormy weather when he slept.

The strength of the sea breeze was almost the same as the last typhoon, and he hurriedly sailed to the leeward side of the island.

Chu Mingcheng, who was sitting in the wheelhouse, was a little nervous, this was the first time he had encountered such bad weather at sea.

The Poseidon has been rising and falling violently with the waves on the sea, and it looks like it will turn over at any moment.

Fortunately, the Poseidon has a relatively high level of wind and wave resistance, and the ship is on the leeward side of the island, so it has been a little bumpy, and it has been safe.

The bad weather lasted for a morning, and Chu Mingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the sea that was gradually calming down.

After a short while, the clouds all dispersed, revealing a bright sun.

Chu Mingcheng hurriedly drove the boat to the location where the longline was placed, but the longrope was pushed to the bottom of the cliff of the island, and they were all entangled together.

Chu Mingcheng was also very helpless, this weather is coming, or at four o'clock in the morning.

He also woke up because of the shaking of the boat at that time, and he would have driven the boat to a relatively safe position as soon as possible, so how could he take care of the longline!

Now the longlines are all entangled, and it is estimated that it is difficult to solve them, and even if they can be solved, it will be a waste of time, so it is better to buy them again.

But this thing can't be left here, it has to be taken back to the ship and brought back to land.

Chu Mingcheng changed into a diving suit and brought two live fish buckles, estimating that there should be a lot of fish on the longline, and they had to be taken back.

Jumping into the water, Chu Mingcheng came to the side of the longline.

The location is coincidental, just on this side of the cave, and there are many strands in the cave.

Chu Mingcheng first pulled the strand back, untied the fish and hung it on the live fish buckle, and then wrapped the strand directly around the messy main line.

Some of the strands hung to the bottom, so he swam along the line to untie them.

After being busy for several hours, Chu Mingcheng took back most of the strands.

There are also a lot of fish, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of catties, but because of the weather in the morning, most of them died of lack of oxygen.

Fortunately, the fish were still fresh, and he put them in the refrigerated cabin after bloodletting.

Then, he put on his headlamp and began to retract the strands from the cave.

Most of them are okay, they can be pulled back directly, and in the end, some of them are still hanging inside, and Chu Mingcheng needs to go in and untie them.

The entrance to the cave was visible because of sunlight, but not inside, so he turned on his headlamp.

Following the subline, Chu Mingcheng swam into the cave.

This cave is really as deep as he guessed!

His thread is 100 meters long, and the deepest ones are estimated to be 70 or 80 meters deep in the cave.

After untying the strand, Chu Mingcheng was about to go back, but when he looked up, he unexpectedly found more than a dozen dense lobsters on the ground.

They lined up in a row, slowly crawling towards the outside of the cave like a train.

This made Chu Mingcheng think of the particularly big lobster before, that one was also a dense lobster at that time, and after he found it, he swam directly to this cave, could it be that there is a dense lobster nest in this cave?

He was more or less curious, and wanted to go in and find out.

Even if the cave is deep, he doesn't expect the dense lobster to run that far, he may be able to find it easily, and he won't get lost.

Then he took the strand and grabbed the group of lobsters crawling on the ground first.

I caught four big ones, and the rest ran away.

Because he didn't have a net bag, he had to tie it up with a thread first.

Swimming out of the cave, Chu Mingcheng pulled the longline back to the boat, and then piled it up in the corner and rinsed it repeatedly with clean water, so as not to emit an unpleasant fishy smell after drying.

After rinsing it off, he took eight nets with him again and jumped into the water to swim towards the cave.

Coming to the mouth of the cave again, this time he did not hesitate and swam directly into the depths of the cave.

Chu Mingcheng wasn't sure how long he had been swimming, but he did find a school of densely haired lobsters in a circular pit inside the cave.

This group of lobsters was actively guided to him by their partners.

This pit is supposed to be their place of refuge.

At that time, after swimming halfway in Chuming City, I found lobsters crawling out one after another.

Then he followed the route of these lobsters and found the hole around the corner.

Of course, as long as the lobsters were large, he grabbed them and put them in their nets.

When encountering such a nest of dense lobsters, Chu Mingcheng naturally would not let it go.

Soon, there was a scene of lobsters fleeing out of the cave in a hurry.

Chu Mingcheng's net pocket was filled with dense lobsters in just a short time, and he didn't continue to explore the depths of the cave, but returned to the Poseidon first and put the lobsters into the living water tank.

Now there are almost 130 lobsters in the living water tank, and no matter how dense they are, they can't fit any more.

Chu Mingcheng followed all the net pockets, leaving only one, and then put the headlamp and a flashlight in and brought it with him, and held the other flashlight in his hand.

With this posture, it was clear that he was interested in the cave and was ready to go in and have a look.

However, before entering, Chu Mingcheng first opened the map of the mouse spot and the map of the eastern star grouper.

When he found out that there were both fish outside the cave and didn't move much, he felt a little more confident.

With these two fish as coordinates, even if he gets lost inside, he can easily find the exit.

After the preparations, Chu Mingcheng returned to the cave.

There are no forks in the cave so far, but it makes it easier for him to explore.

Holding a flashlight in his hand and constantly glancing, Chu Mingcheng went deeper and deeper.

He didn't know how much he swam, but he suddenly found that the cave was getting higher and higher, and the water was getting shallower and shallower.

After another five minutes or so, Chu Mingcheng got up from the water and stood on the dry land.

The waterway was quite long, and although he was swimming slowly, it still took him nearly half an hour.

It's just that he originally thought that the direction of this cave was pointing downward, but he didn't expect it to be upward.

Suddenly, Chu Mingcheng's eyes froze, and the flashlight shone on the ground.

"How can there be so many footprints?"

There were no bats or other animals in the dark cave, but there was a large messy footprint for some reason.

He then took a flashlight and shone it into the water behind him, and then noticed some obvious footprints in the shallow water.

There are people in this cave, and there is more than one person.

Chu Mingcheng stretched out his hand to feel it, and found that there was no wind in the cave, what was the situation?

There is no wind in the cave, which means that either the exit is far away, or it is a one-way exit.

So what about the people inside?

There won't be wild people, right?

Chu Mingcheng's thoughts were immediately distracted, but when he looked at the footprints, it was obvious that they were the sole marks of his shoes, and it was obvious that the ones who appeared in the cave were ordinary humans.

Curiosity is even greater!

Chu Mingcheng took a flashlight to illuminate it, and began to walk slowly inside.
