Chapter 218: Crab Infested
The rod crunched and creaked, and the fish was fierce and tried to pull the line out.
Zhang Ze held the fishing rod in his arms and leaned back slightly, the unloading force of the fishing boat was enough, although the fish could be pulled out a little, but only a little, so he was not afraid that it would run to a place like an underwater cave.
That's the benefit of a big fishing reel, and the rod may not be as sensitive as it can be when adjusted to its hardest state, but you don't need to worry about catching these ferocious fish.
Generally, those who need sensitivity are fishing for a few small fish, and freshwater fish are the mainstay.
Sea fish, even small yellow croaker is very fierce when eating, and the movement after the fish is quite large, that is, the real sea bream yellowfin sea bream, which is a particularly cautious sea bream, needs to be paid attention to.
At this moment, at the bottom of the sea, a fat grouper kept shaking its head and struggling, and the bottom of the water was turbid, scaring all the small fish and shrimp nearby.
However, it could be clearly seen that there was a metal hook on the left side of its mouth piercing its mouth, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not get rid of something that it could not understand in its eyes.
At the same time, the hook will also send a huge force, no matter how it shakes its head and tail, it will not be able to pierce the bottom of the water, but can only keep going up, and finally be forced to appear on the surface.
Seeing the tiger grouper constantly fluttering on the water surface, Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows, this thing has a high chance of ciguatera poisoning!
He hadn't thought about this before, but now when he sees this kind of fish, he will consider the problem of ciguatera poison as soon as he sees it.
However, the fish caught here in the previous life seemed to be fine, so the current fishing should be the same.
If there is a problem, then some of the fish in this area will not be able to eat.
Anyway, I brought the diving equipment, so it's a big deal to dive down and have a look.
"Bang ~ "
The taber's physical strength was not exhausted, and he was directly pulled up by brute force, so he was not at all restless after appearing on the surface.
The water splashed, but it still came to the side of the boat little by little, Zhang Ze stretched out his hand to touch it, and the restless tiger grouper appeared in the space, and then quickly quieted down.
Looking at the weight, there are thirteen pounds, which is not bad.
It took five or six minutes from the time the hook was launched into the water to the time the fish was put into the space.
The water is shallow, and the fish are not slow to catch.
Subsequently, Zhang Ze hung up ordinary bait and continued fishing.
This time, not long after the line cup was closed, the rod reacted, and the pulling force was a little stronger than before, but the time taken was about the same.
When the fish appeared on the surface of the water, Zhang Ze's pupils shrank, and it turned out to be a particularly large mouse spot, the length was not shorter than the tiger spot just now, and the belly was also bulging, which looked very fat.
He quickly pulled the fish to the side of the boat, and then reached into the space.
When he saw that the experience value suddenly rose by a small section, Zhang Ze was overjoyed, and it turned out to be a fish king, giving three thousand five experience points.
And this mouse has a foot of 19 catties and 7 taels, and its body length is 77 centimeters, which is super large.
He had never heard of such a big mouse spot, and it was unbelievable that this guy could live ten pounds in the next life, but he didn't expect that today he caught a horse twenty pounds.
Zhang Ze almost spent 10,000 experience points to use the growth function of this rat spot, but in the end he endured it.
It's about to be level 30, and he can open new features and rewards, and now it costs 10,000 experience points, which means that he has to go to sea twice to level up without catching the fish king.
Rats can be kept for the time being, and then wait until they have experience after level 30.
When the weight increases by 30 percent, this rat spot is the largest in the world.
"Today is a good day"
Zhang Ze hummed a song, in a very happy mood.
The two fish kings, one of which is a highly valuable mouse spot, will be in a good mood for anyone.
Perhaps because it was not taken care of by fishermen, Zhang Ze unsurprisingly entered the crazy rod mode.
Sea bass, sea bream, grouper, red friends, and all kinds of fish that live in the reef area have appeared.
Because the hook is relatively large, the fish caught are at least more than three catties, but there is no particularly large one, and the largest one is a red friend of more than 30 catties, which is estimated to be the boss of this shadow area.
After all, the water in this shaded area is shallow, only a little more than 20 meters deep, and even large fish will hardly appear.
After about an hour of fishing, he caught twenty-one fish, and the trend of the rod calmed down.
Zhang Ze roughly estimated that the remaining twenty would probably sell for more than sixty, with an average of three yuan each, which was outrageous.
However, the main thing is that the grouper has increased the price, and the second one is quite large.
Catching so many fish at once, Zhang Ze felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply put down the fishing rod to rest for a while, picked up the teacup next to him and drank a few sips of water.
Then he got up and went to the bow of the boat, and the bow was pointy, and he lay down just right.
With his arms behind his head, he closed his eyes and rested.
The fishing boat swayed slightly with the waves, like a rocking chair, and the anchor had been lowered, but there was no fear of the small trolling boat drifting away with the waves.
The sea breeze in the shadow is also very pleasant, and it feels more comfortable than sleeping in an air-conditioned room, at least not as dry, and the only downside is that it is easy to blow dark.
Zhang Ze didn't know what the principle was, obviously he wasn't exposed to the sun, but his skin could turn black when he was blown by the sea breeze.
Fortunately, he is still not bad, his skin has always been bronzed, but it has not darkened anymore.
I don't know how long it took, Zhang Ze woke up naturally, sat up and stretched, and then looked around.
The fishing boat was still in its original position, and the area in the shadows didn't seem to change much, just a little less.
He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, only to realize that he had only slept for less than half an hour, no wonder the position of the sun felt that there was no change.
However, Zhang Ze, who squinted for a while, was full of energy, so he continued to fish.
Hang the hook and still fish the bottom as before, big fish like to hide under the water!
Unbeknownst to Zhang Ze, while he was sleeping, an undercurrent under the water brought the remains of a ray about the size of a basin and had been dead for a while to the bottom of the boat.
The fishy smell of the fish soon attracted crabs in the nearby sand.
This heavenly food feeds thousands of creatures underwater, and crabs are one of them.
It is not easy for them to catch live fish and eat them, and crabs themselves are scavengers.
The crabs held their large pincers and tore off the remaining meat from the carcass little by little and put it into their mouths.
Open the bow left and right, and you can't be idle a little.
Some small fish were also attracted, and their small mouthfuls were gently pecked at the wreckage.
However, at this moment, a piece of food with a strange fragrance suddenly fell in front of them.
This sudden food has a huge attraction and immediately attracts the attention of many nearby marine life.
Coincidentally, the food happened to be in front of a big crab, and the big crab didn't even think about it, so he directly clamped the food with his own tongs.
But the next moment, it was surprised to find that its body suddenly took off.
I feel a little uneasy and seem to be in danger. It's just that the aroma of the food is too tempting to the crab, so that it is reluctant to let go of the pincers at all.
On the boat, Zhang Ze felt that the fish that was hooked this time was a little strange, and he didn't struggle.
But he still quickly retracted the line and pulled the hooked cutie up.
As the line was retracted, a very large orchid crab appeared on the surface, much to his surprise.
Zhang Ze never expected that he would be able to catch a crab by catching a fish, but the crab shell was the size of his palm, so he did not hesitate to put the orchid crab into the space.
Moreover, compared to fishing, the trapped bait is intact and can obviously be used repeatedly.
When Zhang Zezheng felt that he had found a small bug belonging to the system, as the orchid crab was put into the space, the bait hanging on the hook slowly disappeared under his nose.
“.”
"Damn, it's really not a little bug!"
Zhang Ze complained speechlessly, the magic bait in the joint space can only be exchanged for one at the limit!
But a normal bait is only a little experience, and he doesn't care about it.
After a while, two more orchid crabs were caught, which made Zhang Ze wonder if there was a crab nest under the water.
Put the two crabs into the space, and then immediately release the small one.
The crab shell is smaller than the palm of his hand, and such a small crab doesn't have a few taels of meat, and it also occupies a place to keep it.
Then Zhang Ze continued the experiment, and if it was still a crab this time, then he decided to go back and change into a diving suit.
Then, not surprisingly, it was still an orchid crab.
Now that Zhang Ze is sure, there must be a lot of orchid crabs under the water.
It's better to dive directly to catch it, the efficiency is much faster than fishing.
He can also go into the water to see, maybe not only crabs, but also some lobsters or something.
Zhang Ze put away the fishing rod, pulled the anchor back, and then activated the thruster and returned to the Duo Fish.
Strapped to the stern of the boat, he stepped into the cabin and began to take out all the diving equipment.
Wetsuits, belts, glasses, fins, oxygen tanks, and more are all laid out.
Zhang Ze has played free-diving, fishing, hunting and scuba diving, although it is a matter of the previous life, but the skills learned will not be forgotten because of rebirth, at most the body is not familiar with these skills enough.
This is not a problem, change into a wetsuit and splash in the water a few times to become proficient.
After putting on the diving suit one by one, the oxygen cylinder was not immediately put on his back, but put it in his hand on the boat.
Zhang Ze was going to dive freely for a while, and then change his scuba after his body was familiar.
After closing the door, he drove the boat back to the position he had just taken, lowered the anchor and fixed the boat, and then jumped directly into the water with his glasses on.
This time, the sea water directly submerged the top of his head, and Zhang Ze, who was wearing glasses, could observe the situation in the nearby water with confidence.
Compared to chasing manta rays, there will be no glare in the water after wearing glasses.
At that time, he was forced to fall into the water, or he couldn't find the location of the manta ray at all if he didn't open his eyes, which also caused his eyes to die of discomfort after coming up, and he went back to the room to rinse it with clean water for a while, and then closed it for a long time and waited for the tears to come out before he felt much more comfortable.
Holding his breath, Zhang Ze did not float up immediately, but adapted to the feeling of the water completely submerging his head.
It wasn't until he couldn't hold it anymore that he floated.
Breathing in the fresh air, Zhang Ze began to do franco again, that is, ear pressure equalization, which is essential for diving.
He wasn't born Franzo, he had learned it in his previous life, but he quickly regained the skill once he had mastered it.
Feeling that he was almost adapted, Zhang Ze began to try to dive down.
The water here is quite clear, and he feels that the visibility is about ten meters away, within fifteen meters.
After diving about five or six meters, he could see the rolling reef and sand bed underneath.
Many small fish swam in schools underneath, and occasionally a slightly larger fish or two appeared in his sight.
However, there are almost no fish in the middle and upper water layers, and it is clear that the hot water temperature has caused the fish to run to the bottom.
Zhang Ze stopped when he dived about ten meters underwater, and felt the condition of his body.
However, there is no discomfort at the moment, and it is clear that the current water pressure in the water layer has no effect on his body at all.
After staying for a while, Zhang Ze did not continue to go down, but came up first to change his tone.
Without a diver's watch, he couldn't accurately grasp the time he could hold his breath, so he could only roughly estimate that he could hold his breath for about two and a half minutes.
This is the limit for now, but it does not mean that it will be for the future.
Zhang Ze's current physical potential is very high, and he can greatly extend the breath-holding time through training.
This is the case of experience level 50, but physical ability is only level 1.
After changing his breath, Zhang Ze dived to the bottom in one breath this time, and then saw the remains of a ray surrounded by orchid crabs.
He suddenly realized, no wonder he fished three times for orchid crabs, it turned out that he was attracted by the rays.
There are also orchid crabs coming nearby one after another, and it is clear that this sand bed is their habitat.
Zhang Ze, who knew what he knew, made a slight turn under the water, and then surfaced.
This time he climbed onto the boat, then picked up the oxygen cylinder and bit the snorkel.
After taking a few breaths of oxygen through his mouth, Zhang Ze slowly entered the water this time, unlike jumping directly before.
The use time of an oxygen cylinder is basically about 60 minutes, and the time varies according to the oxygen consumption of each person.
However, normal scuba diving is usually only 40 minutes, and there will be some time to get back to the surface in time.
Forty minutes is enough for Zhang Ze to do a lot of things underwater.
With an oxygen tank on his back, he didn't swim as fast as before, and could only swim slowly towards the bottom of the water.
After a while, Zhang Ze came to the bottom of the water.
He went directly at the orchid crab, stretched out his gloved hand and held down an orchid crab with a palm-sized shell, and then put it into the space.
The advantage of catching it yourself is that you can choose, and the disadvantage is that it directly scared away a few nearby orchid crabs.
But don't worry, there are not many crabs here, and the sand beds are full of bulges.
The orchid crab is a type of pike crab, so its habits are similar, usually hiding under the sand to avoid predators, and only come out when it is foraging.
Zhang Ze first grabbed the large orchid crab exposed under his nose, and in just ten minutes, there were thirty-seven in the space, and the smallest one was eight taels.
More of those five or six taels, he didn't want them all. (End of chapter)
