"Captain, are you up here? Have you found that strange fish that made the sound?" Chen Qingsheng asked Xiang Yang.
"Here." Xiang Yang handed the net bag to Chen Qingsheng, "Take a look for yourself."
Chen Qingsheng was surprised, "Did they really catch him?"
Then Chen Qingsheng took the net bag and asked in surprise again: "So it was this little thing that made such a loud noise?"
Zhang Qicheng urged, "Hurry up and open the net bag to have a look. I have never seen a fish that can make such a loud noise."
"Don't worry, I'll open it right away."
Chen Qingsheng smiled and opened the net bag. He took a look inside and was stunned. "Uh, what kind of fish is this?"
"Let me take a look." Zhang Qicheng leaned his head over and took a look inside the net bag.
"How is it? Do you know him?" Xiang Yang asked with a smile.
"It's really strange. At first glance, this fish looks a bit like a sea toad, but in fact it is not a sea toad. I don't know this fish." Zhang Qicheng said.
Xiang Yang shook his head, "Actually, I don't know this fish either."
"A fish that even you, the captain, don't recognize?" Everyone looked at Xiang Yang in surprise.
In the past, Xiang Yang was like an encyclopedia, knowing everything. This was the first time they saw a fish that Xiang Yang didn't recognize.
Xiang Yang rolled his eyes. "Even if it's an encyclopedia, there's a limit to the length of the pages, right? There are more than 200,000 species of marine animals living in the ocean. Do you think I'm a search engine if I know all of them?"
"However, this should be a species of sea toad. They use their swim bladder to make sounds. The sound can be transmitted very far and is extremely loud, just like a real toad croaking." Xiang Yang said.
“Click—”
At this time, the killer whale at the stern of the ship swam out of the water and made a cry from its throat.
Xiang Yang turned around and looked at the killer whale under the boat. He was slightly confused and wondered what this killer whale was trying to do.
Soon, Xiang Yang knew why the killer whale roared.
Through the water surface, Xiang Yang saw a huge octopus swimming towards him. This octopus must have been attracted by the cry of the sea toad fish when it was hunting just now.
Hearing the killer whale's cry, the octopus was frightened and quickly stopped its body, floating in the sea without moving.
But the killer whale couldn't sit still. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards the giant octopus.
The killer whale quickly bit one of the octopus's tentacle and soon bit it in half.
The giant octopus was also extremely ferocious. After one of its tentacle was bitten off, it did not run away. Instead, it waved the remaining tentacles to whip the killer whale, and tried to use its tentacles to wrap around the killer whale's body and drag it to the bottom of the sea.
Killer whales are not afraid of this.
The huge tail twitched, and it opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite the octopus's second tentacle.
But at this time, the octopus waved its seven tentacles and protected itself completely.
And because each tentacle of the octopus is very flexible, the ferocious killer whale was entangled and felt very uncomfortable for a while. It looked like it had no place to use its strength, and was thrown around by the octopus.
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows. If it were a group of killer whales, the giant octopus would have been dead by now.
But a single killer whale is actually no match for a great white shark.
Once killer whales leave the group and rely on themselves alone, they are very stupid and timid.
As soon as it showed signs of weakness, the killer whale began to struggle to escape.
The killer whale tried to escape, which was exactly what the giant octopus wanted. It waved its tentacles and chased after the killer whale.
"Brother Yang, what should we do now?" Fang Youqun asked Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang turned his head and looked into the distance, then shook his head, "Just watch, this killer whale won't die."
It turned out that at some point, the two humpback whales had swam over and were now quietly approaching the giant octopus in a circle, one on the left and one on the right.
The two humpback whales were getting closer and closer to the giant octopus.
The giant octopus finally realized something was wrong and released its tentacles and tried to escape.
But it was too late.
“Woo—”
The male humpback whale suddenly let out a loud whale cry, and then swam quickly towards the giant octopus.
The giant octopus wanted to escape, but the clever killer whale bit one of its tentacle, causing its body to slow down for a moment.
It was just this slow movement in a split second that allowed the two humpback whales to swim over.
The male humpback whale raised its door-like fins and slapped the giant octopus.
Immediately, a huge wave exploded on the sea, and the giant octopus was knocked unconscious by the killer whale.
"With a killer whale and two humpback whales approaching its body, this octopus is doomed to die," Xiang Yang concluded.
Sure enough, the next moment, the killer whale bit one of the giant octopus's tentacle, tore it off the giant octopus, and began to devour it.
The two humpback whales were not polite either.
The male whale accelerated several times and slammed its big head into the giant octopus's head, killing it, and then began to enjoy the delicacy.
Soon, the sea surface calmed down, and there was no sign that four huge monsters had fought a great battle here just before.
Xiang Yang mourned for the giant octopus for three seconds, then suggested, "We've all rested for a while, do you want to go down to the bottom of the water and take a look?"
The crew naturally had no objection.
Zhang Qicheng fully agreed. He caught a Jingxiu lobster weighing more than two kilograms today and was full of curiosity about what was under the water.
Xiang Yang put on his helmet with a smile, "Since no one has any objections, let's hurry up and catch some more lobster roots and hairy crabs. If there are enough, I'll get a batch of fresh swimming crabs for everyone tonight."
When the crew members heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.
The swimming crabs caught in this sea area are all extremely plump. It would be absolutely exciting if you could get one to try.
After Xiang Yang went into the sea, he still did not move with the crew. He swam further and further along the dense seaweed forest and the undulating underwater reef mountains.
Along the way, Xiang Yang saw densely packed small seahorses, dancing butterfly fish, and ferocious cutlassfish hunting.
Xiang Yang didn't catch any of them. He was very purposefully looking for those rare and valuable catches.
In fact, seahorse is also a relatively valuable marine creature. It is a precious medicinal material comparable to Cordyceps sinensis. After being dried, seahorse can even be sold for four to five thousand yuan per kilogram. In many pharmacies, there is a jargon called "old ginseng from the Northeast" and "wild seahorse from the South China Sea".
