There is still about half an hour left in the underwater activities, and Zhang Ze did not delay, after all, every extra stay is money, and oxygen is not cheap.

Of course, he couldn't tell the time, but the oxygen cylinders were equipped with pointers that would tell him how much oxygen was in them, which was more accurate than the time.

The conspicuous big orchid crab was almost caught, so he went to look for the little bulges.

Basically, every time he pressed his hand, there was one, and occasionally one would get out and run away when he got close.

If this crab swims, it will not be able to catch up with Zhang Ze's speed with the oxygen cylinder on his back, and there may be a chance to dive freely.

However, compared to just now, the efficiency of finding a small drum bag is undoubtedly much slower.

Seeing that the oxygen in the oxygen tank was reduced by one-third, Zhang Ze simply gave up continuing to look for crabs and prepared to go around the nearby seabed.

See if there are any ciguatera algae that can cause ciguatera poisoning, and if there are any groupers caught here, such as rat grouper and tiger grouper, they will have to be released.

has grown to more than ten catties, and there must be a lot of toxins in the body.

Zhang Ze began to swim slowly under the water, and some bold little fish dared to swim to him, as if they were curious about what kind of creature this was, how could they never see it.

He is also not interested in these small fish, one is that he can't catch them with his bare hands, and his resistance in the water is much greater than that of these small fish.

The second is that these fish don't have much experience and don't need to spend that effort and time.

After swimming for a while, Zhang Ze didn't know where he went, he just swam along the isolated island.

And at this moment, a wonderful scenery of flowers and greenery slowly appeared in the line of sight in front of me.

Zhang Ze didn't expect that there was a coral area under the water here, and he thought it was all reefs!

It's not like some places where there are shallow areas and deep waters, so you can see the bottom directly.

It's all submerged under water, so you can't see the bottom from the surface.

Zhang Ze swung his legs and slowly approached, and the ecology of this coral area looked exceptionally rich and beautiful.

Then he saw a chariot crawling on the edge of the coral, and his eyes lit up to see it as a shrimp.

This is a species comparable to a giant lobster, and it tastes similar.

Zhang Ze, who was originally attracted by the beautiful scenery, immediately swam over, and when he was about to get closer, he slowed down and slowly approached.

This shrimp is more than 20 centimeters long, which is relatively large.

Fan shrimp and lobsters are a little similar, when they crawl, they are very slow and easier to catch.

If you swim, the tail can run far away with a flick, and Zhang Ze, who is carrying an oxygen cylinder, is not easy to chase.

As he approached, the shrimp seemed to sense the danger and began to consciously burrow into the place it thought was safe, that is, the coral hole.

But after Zhang Ze slowly came to the top of it, his hand suddenly reached out and held down the fan shrimp, and before it could struggle, it closed into the space.

[Successfully captured a Han's fan shrimp, weighing 2.83 catties, experience +18.] 】

'Yo, the experience points are quite high! ’

The experience value of 18 points was indeed unexpected to Zhang Ze, which was much higher than the average lobster.

Unfortunately, unlike lobsters, fan shrimp do not hide in groups, they generally live in a large area in twos and threes, so the catch is much smaller than that of lobsters.

However, Zhang Ze was lucky, and when he looked up, he just wanted to swim forward, but he found a fan shrimp again.

This one was much larger, and most of its body was hidden in a cave, with only its head exposed.

However, this is only a little bit of the head exposed, which is obviously larger than the one just now, and it is estimated that this fan shrimp is more than 30 centimeters, which must be very large.

Zhang Ze approached and pressed his hand up, this cave was relatively small, and it couldn't fully penetrate it, so he was easily caught.

[Successfully captured a Han's pseudo-fan shrimp, weighing 7.67 catties, experience (fan shrimp king) +1800.] 】

'it! ’

A series of bubbles suddenly bubbled up in the water, Zhang Ze never thought that he just came to take a look, and he was very lucky to catch a fan shrimp king, and he gained one thousand eight experience points in vain.

He felt that his luck in going to sea this time was very good, and he had encountered three king-level creatures.

Manta rays, rat spots, Han's fan shrimp, maybe you can meet others next.

For a place that hasn't been developed much and hasn't been cared for yet, it's not surprising to come across some great guys.

However, this time made Zhang Ze rise to explore this large area of water.

He has more than one oxygen cylinder on board, and continuous launching is a great burden on his body, but he can go into the water once a day in the afternoon.

Anyway, the fish is not easy to catch in the afternoon, so it is just right for diving.

Caught a big superlative, after using the growth function, this fan shrimp king can reach nearly ten catties, it is estimated that it will be quite eye-catching.

When the fifty or sixty centimeter-tall guy is displayed in the store hall, it will definitely attract a lot of customers, and I believe Zhao Xianghua will like it.

The only pity is that the experience points are not enough, so I can only show them later.

Continuing to explore, Zhang Ze soon found a large cave with the entrance facing the sky, he stretched out his head to look inside, and was immediately stunned by the dense tentacles.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a two-dimensional tentacle.

These tentacles swing and move, all from large lobsters.

Obviously, Zhang Ze found a lobster nest.

Lobsters themselves are congregated, and they prefer this natural shelter, which can only be said to be lucky, but not uncommon.

'Developed! ’

Zhang Ze was excited, there are at least hundreds of lobsters in this nest, and the value may reach thousands of yuan.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that he saw that there were several particularly large ones inside, maybe it would be the lobster king.

[Successfully captured a dense lobster, weighing 2.56 pounds, experience +8.] 】

【Successfully captured the dense lobster.

The hints kept on, and most of the holes were blocked by his body, and the lobsters in it were basically lambs to be slaughtered, and occasionally a few small ones escaped from the gaps next to them.

[Successfully captured a dense lobster, weighing 5.68 pounds, experience (lobster king) +800.] 】

【Successfully captured.

When Zhang Ze got all the lobsters in the cave, his experience points also increased by more than three thousand.

Among them, there are three lobster kings, all weighing more than five catties.

The dense lobster does not grow to a particularly large size, and the average grows to 30 centimeters, weighing two or three catties.

However, if they survive well and are not harmed, the vast majority of sea creatures can exceed the limits of their own race.

A dense lobster of more than five catties is considered very large.

Zhang Ze couldn't close his mouth with a smile, this place is full of treasures, he decided, he will come here when he goes to sea next.

At the same time, I regret why I didn't come here in the first place.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

The main thing is that it is too far away, and it takes more than ten hours to come every time, and it takes a day to go back and forth.

Secondly, the resources of Dongsha and Hailing Island are not bad, so I never thought about coming.

This time, I came here, and I haven't been to any new places before.

Today's harvest can be said to be more than Zhang Ze's ever, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of experience points.

However, he had only explored a corner of the reef, and he didn't know if he would be able to finish exploring the archipelago before the end of the year.

Retracting his thoughts, Zhang Ze continued to swim forward.

It didn't take much time to catch the dense lobster just now, and there is still half of the oxygen in the oxygen tank.

He can continue to move for a while and then go back.

Along the way, he saw a lot of groupers, big and small, but unfortunately he couldn't catch them no matter how big or small.

Among them, there was a big blue spot close to one meter, don't look at its huge size, but Zhang Ze jumped out when he got close to it.

Originally, I thought that such a big grouper would be fierce and attack him, but how did he know that he was so daring.

So along the way, Zhang Ze only picked up a lot of immovable seafood such as conch, scallops, and abalone.

Sea cucumbers and sea urchins also picked up some, not that these quantities are small, but that many of them he didn't know, and after seeing the scientific name after entering the space, he guessed that some of them were inedible, so he re-released them.

[Successfully captured a coconut snail, weighing 26.55 pounds, experience (snail king) +500.] 】

Put the coconut snail in front of him, which is comparable to the basin, into the space, and Zhang Ze is not surprised that it is the identity of the king of snails.

It's all basin big, what is it if it's not the king of snails?

The coconut snail also picked up several at this time, and with such a snail king, Zhang Ze suddenly had no intention of continuing to explore the treasure.

Such a big coconut snail, it's not too much to bloom a Merlot bead, right?

After seeing that there was still one-third of the oxygen left, Zhang Ze decided to go back by another route, maybe what would he gain!

There are so many treasures in locations that haven't been explored.

Then, Zhang Ze swam to the surface of the water first, showed his head to look at the position of the Duoyu, and after deciding the direction, he returned to the water, and then swam towards the position of the Duoyu.

There weren't those high-tech underwater navigators or anything now, but with a compass, it wouldn't let him get lost in the water.

Looking at the compass, Zhang Ze wondered if he had to buy a diver's watch.

If there is no domestic one, he will go to Hong Kong Island to buy foreign ones, but I don't know if he can afford to buy them at present.

On the way back, Zhang Ze still searched and picked up all the way, and after swimming more than 50 meters, he turned over a small high slope, and a pure white beautiful coral in front of him suddenly attracted his attention.

He hadn't seen white corals before, and he had fished in the coral area before, and occasionally seen them when passing by shallow waters.

Those white corals are very beautiful, but they are not big, and the diameter is estimated to be about 20 centimeters.

Compared to white coral, red coral is a truly valuable and rare coral.

It's a pity that red coral is produced in the Wanwan Strait, and the depth is at least 100 meters under the sea, which is not something that ordinary people can dive.

White coral can also be sold for money, and a gram of high-quality white coral in later generations can be worth hundreds of yuan, but the value of white coral in the current era has not yet been hyped.

Zhang Ze will be attracted to this white coral, mainly because the white coral is too big, he estimates that the width of this white coral is at least one and a half meters, and the height is close to two meters.

The most important thing is that the pattern on it is very beautiful, and there is almost no need for further manual carving.

The good-looking corals on the market are basically "beautified" by carvers, after all, naturally grown things will still have many defects.

There are also natural and beautiful things like this, but after they are born, they are all treasures.

'I don't think I'm going to have some big decorations in my house!' ’

Zhang Ze swam around the coral, saw the whole picture of the coral, and became more and more satisfied with the coral.

He reached out and wiped some of the places covered in mud and sand, and the places that he had wiped immediately revealed its white jade-like body.

However, due to the light underwater, the coral looks a little yellowish, and the specific color can only be seen after being brought to the boat.

That's right, Zhang Ze has already paid attention to this coral.

He looked at the compass to determine the exact position of the coral, and then hurried back to get his tools and change the oxygen cylinder.

With his physique, he would not have a problem staying in the sea for another hour, so he didn't plan to wait for tomorrow, he wanted this coral today.

So he swam back, and in less than ten minutes he was back at the stern of the Multifish.

Taking off his flippers, Zhang Ze took a towel hanging next to him and roughly wiped the seawater on his body, then went to replace the oxygen cylinder first, and then went to the warehouse to get tools.

In order not to damage the coral, he decided to dig up the bottom of the coral, so he brought tools such as shovels and hammers.

Re-entering the water, Zhang Ze, who was carrying dozens of pounds of heavy objects, quickly sank to the bottom.

Then find the right direction and swim towards the coral.

Soon, he was next to the coral.

The bottom of this coral is covered with mud and sand, and hopefully it doesn't grow on some reef, otherwise it will not be easy to get it off intact if it is connected together.

Zhang Ze put the tools he brought next to him, then picked up a small shovel and began to slowly dig up the mud and sand around the roots of the coral.

The sediment under water pressure is very hard and much harder to dig than the sand on land, and he can only dig little by little in order not to damage the roots of the coral.

After a while, the sand and dirt swept away with the water, gradually obscuring his vision.

Zhang Ze was also very helpless about this, he had tried his best to come gently, but unfortunately pulling away the sand and soil would confuse the water.

Fortunately, the water under the sea is not small, as long as he does not move for a while, his vision will be clear again, and he will continue.

After continuing to dig for a while, Zhang Ze saw the roots of the coral.

It's a bit like a tree plate, it's not buried deep, and it's just over 20 centimeters buried in sand, which is good news.

Unfortunately, as Zhang Ze continued to clean up the sand, bad news soon ushered in.

There is a reef underneath the sand, and the corals grow on the reef and are tightly connected.

If he wants to get the coral down, the bottom will have to be pried open little by little, and some of the coral will be destroyed.

Zhang Ze gestured with his hand, and found that it was okay to damage some of the bottom, take it back and cut it flat, and a small part of the coral did not affect the overall beauty.

But if you want to get this coral, it will take a lot of time, and an oxygen tank is definitely not enough.

Zhang Ze didn't care about this, the last thing he lacked was time, there were three oxygen cylinders on the boat, and he would use them up first.

So he continued to bury his head in the backbone, so that some of the big and small fish in the vicinity all gathered curiously, as if wondering what this strange creature was doing? (End of chapter)
