Soon, with the help of the crew, Xiang Yang climbed onto the ship along the ladder.
Naturally, the spider crab was also brought out of the water by Xiang Yang.
"It's so big, it must weigh almost ten kilograms." Chen Qingsheng said with a smile.
"Be careful, the crab's claws are very flexible, don't get pinched by it." Xiang Yang reminded.
"Don't worry, the spider crabs that can catch me haven't been born yet, and I'm wearing protective clothing."
Chen Qingsheng played with the spider crab with both hands, opened its shell, and then closed it again. This is a characteristic of spider crabs. When a spider crab grows to this size, the shell and the body are still intact, but it can be opened.
"Don't play it too hard. This big spider crab is still valuable." Xiang Yang said.
Chen Qingsheng quickly found a fishing line, tied the two big claws of the spider crab tightly, and then ordered someone to throw it into the live water tank.
In fact, it is not cost-effective to throw such a spider crab into the live water tank. You can just put it in a water tank.
But in order to prevent the spider crab from crawling out of the water tank and attacking the people on the ship, we simply threw it into the live water tank. Anyway, the live water tanks on the ship are empty now. When the live water tanks on the ship are needed later, we can just fish the swimming crab out.
"The spider crabs under the sea are quite ferocious. Just now when I went down, this spider crab did not run away when it spotted me, but attacked me directly and quickly. I don't know if there are other spider crabs under the sea. In short, be careful when you go down later." Xiang Yang reminded everyone.
"Brother Yang, don't worry." Fang Youqun said with a smile, "Isn't it just a crab? I wish a crab would bite me. You'll see in a moment, I will definitely catch one for you."
Xiang Yang smiled. In fact, he was not that worried. He just gave a casual reminder.
"Get in the water." Xiang Yang waved his hand and jumped into the water first.
When Xiang Yang came down alone to explore the way, he quickly returned to the boat because of the spider crab and did not even have time to appreciate the scenery on the reef.
To be honest, the underwater world inside the reef is not as beautiful as the coral reef.
If it weren't for the brightly colored tropical fish, the entire area would be just a bare forest of rocks.
But Xiang Yang was not discouraged, on the contrary he was a little excited.
Bare reefs are good, because they leave precious seafood no place to hide, making it easier for him to catch them.
At the same time, bare rocks and rock crevices are the favorite hiding places of the plum-flowered sea cucumber.
Xiang Yang tightened the net bag around his waist and sank toward the bottom of the sea. He saw a protruding rugged reef.
Sea cucumbers like shade, and there is a high possibility that the plum blossom sea cucumber is hiding in the shade under the rugged reef.
When he got under the reef, Xiang Yang was suddenly stunned and looked at the shadow under the reef with disbelief.
Under the reef, there were hundreds of giant spider crabs densely packed together. Hundreds of killer crabs gathered together, and the scene was very spectacular.
If the Yokohama fishermen who are already scared by spider crabs saw it, they would probably be scared to death even if they were in the deep sea.
Seeing so many spider crabs, Xiang Yang didn't dare to act rashly. While he slowly floated up, he paid attention to the top of his head and the positions of other crew members.
Soon, Xiang Yang saw Chen Qingsheng and several crew members diving towards him.
It seems that Chen Qingsheng has also discovered the huge rugged reef. He also guessed that there must be sea cucumbers under the reef, so he led the crew to head in this direction.
Xiang Yang waved his hands and swam quickly to Chen Qingsheng.
Chen Qingsheng was diving with a few people. When he saw Xiang Yang suddenly appear, he made a questioning gesture.
Xiang Yang waved to Chen Qingsheng, motioning him to follow him, and then made a gesture to keep quiet, which indicated that there was danger underneath.
Chen Qingsheng and the other crew members immediately became alert and followed Xiang Yang carefully.
Dive.
The group of people soon arrived under the huge reef and saw the group of spider crabs.
Chen Qingsheng's eyes widened, and his face hidden under the helmet was full of shock.
Chen Qingsheng has seen spider crabs. In his more than ten years of sailing career, Chen Qingsheng has seen more spider crabs than most people.
But it was the first time that Chen Qingsheng saw so many spider crabs gathering on the seabed at once, with their big claws raised proudly.
Instinctively, Chen Qingsheng touched the biological electric gun at his waist.
But then, Chen Qingsheng realized that these spider crabs were all money.
Spider crabs of this size are not always available, so the price is naturally very expensive.
If we can catch all these spider crabs on board, the cost of this trip will almost be recovered.
Chen Qingsheng quickly asked Xiang Yang whether they should arrest him now.
Xiang Yang nodded, waved his hand, and then rushed towards the crab school first.
Chen Qingsheng and others followed closely behind Xiang Yang.
The actions of the group of people instantly alarmed the spider crabs that were resting in their habitat.
In an instant, the spider crab group was in an uproar.
The group of spider crabs lifted their shells, held up their claws, and quickly slid their eight claws as they rushed towards Xiang Yang and the others.
Xiang Yang thought to himself, it seems that these guys are used to being domineering in their daily lives. If an ordinary diver were suddenly attacked by so many spider crabs, he might really die here.
But the diving suit that Xiang Yang was wearing was considered to have a high level of protection among diving suits used for scientific research. Most people couldn't even see it, let alone buy it. It was only because Professor Chen Yu had such high authority that he was able to buy it for Xiang Yang.
While Xiang Yang was thinking, he met those spider crabs.
Xiang Yang's eyes focused, and with a wave of his arm, he quickly and accurately grabbed the claws of a spider crab weighing five or six pounds, then dragged it toward the surface of the sea.
At the same time, a spider crab grabbed Xiang Yang's calf.
Fortunately, it was not the weak spot in the joint of the diving suit. There was a crab hanging on his calf, but Xiang Yang did not feel any pain at all. He just lowered his head to take a look, smiled, and then swam quickly towards the surface of the sea with the two crabs.
However, the swimming crab that Xiang Yang was holding in his hand was showing a look of fierceness towards him, making it difficult for Xiang Yang to move his arms and swim for a while.
Xiang Yang simply took off the net bag from his waist without caring whether he would hurt the spider crab or not, and stuffed the crab into the net bag with force.
The spider crab was still struggling hard in the net bag, making the net bigger.
Xiang Yang didn't care about anything else and swam towards the sea with the net bag in hand.
