My Deep Sea Fishery

Chapter 64: Black Pearl

Views:

Seeing the giant squid rushing towards him with its fangs bared, Xiang Yang quickly retreated to the side of the female whale which looked more majestic.

The giant squid that was chasing relentlessly finally saw the two "isolated islands" beside Xiang Yang.

The giant crow was suddenly confused. Even though its brain had a large capacity, it couldn't understand what was going on.

The two humpback whales were also a little stunned. They didn't expect that Xiang Yang only swam in front of the "stone" and circled around it, and a big meal actually appeared inside the "stone".

The three sea monsters were stunned for about a second.

The male whale was the first to react and touched Xiang Yang affectionately with his big head.

If the male whale could talk, he would be so moved that he would burst into tears. Xiang Yang was definitely the best person in the world to him. He took the trouble to swim in the seabed for so long just to bring them this delicious meal.

The female whale also flapped her fins and shook her body excitedly, as happy as a twenty-ton child.

When the giant squid saw the two humpback whales moving, it was immediately frightened. All its tentacles suddenly retracted, and it sprayed out a large ball of ink and tried to turn around and escape.

The distance between the humpback whale and the giant squid is no more than twenty meters. At such a distance, how could the two humpback whales let the cooked duck escape

Seeing the giant squid spraying ink, the two humpback whales became furious. Without thinking twice, they opened their mouths wide and swallowed the squid at full speed.

Whales usually swim very slowly in the sea, but they can dive very quickly for a short period of time when hunting.

Xiang Yang's vision was not affected by the ink. He clearly saw the diving male humpback whale quickly catch up with the giant squid, and slapped the giant squid's head with its powerful left fin.

"Bang!"

The power of this palm is definitely ten times more than any full-strength punch from any boxing champion in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and it directly deals tons of damage.

The skin on the giant octopus's head was directly torn after being hit by the male humpback whale, and blood spurted out from the giant squid's head. It is unknown whether the squid's bones were broken.

Although the severely injured giant squid did not die, it almost lost the ability to move. It fell to the bottom of the sea and desperately waved its tentacles to make a final resistance.

The next scene was extremely bloody. The two humpback whales showed their dominance in the ocean, brutally tearing the giant squid into pieces and eating the whole squid, not even leaving out the bones.

Soon the ink dissipated, and the two humpback whales swam back to Xiang Yang happily.

The female whale touched Xiang Yang with her head to express her gratitude for Xiang Yang's treat. The male whale spit out a giant squid tentacle more than two meters long from its mouth, and then pushed Xiang Yang in front of the huge tentacle, indicating that it was left for Xiang Yang to eat.

Xiang Yang was immediately embarrassed, and he gestured with his hands for a long time before the two humpback whales understood that he did not like to eat squid.

After eating and drinking, the two humpback whales surfaced to breathe, while Xiang Yang swam to the straight-shelled Nautilus shell again and looked at it carefully.

It is strictly forbidden to take some rare and endangered species out of the country. A nautilus worth more than 100,000 yuan is still considered a rare species even if only a shell is left.

Ordinary nautilus shells are allowed to be sold privately in China as long as they are not taken out of the country.

But the straight-shelled nautilus is obviously not an ordinary nautilus shell. Xiang Yang needs to check the information to find out whether private trading is allowed after picking it up.

The common nautilus has fine growth lines and a grayish-white appearance interspersed with thick orange-red wavy stripes. Its spiral shell is smooth and disc-shaped, resembling a parrot's beak, and it is an extremely precious ornamental shell.

It seems that the straight-shelled Nautilus can never be found in museums, because it is not only an important material for studying biological evolution and paleoecology, but its unique body structure also makes it an important material for studying submarines. Almost all the straight-shelled Nautilus that have been discovered are in various scientific research laboratories.

Xiang Yang was actually quite greedy for money. If what he picked up was not a particularly valuable treasure, like an ordinary nautilus shell, even if he could not buy or sell it, Xiang Yang would definitely hide it so that the fewer people knew about it, the better. If he was short of money, he could sell it secretly to solve his urgent needs. If he was not short of money, he could leave it to his descendants to pass on.

But faced with the straight-shelled Nautilus, every additional one of which could make the motherland stronger, and only when it is in the hands of the motherland can it play its due role. When scientific research experts discover any useful results from the straight-shelled Nautilus, the value of the result will far exceed that of an ornamental snail itself. Xiang Yang's awareness is not so low, and he is willing to hand it over when the time is right.

Some people say that such people are pretentious and stupid.

But there is no shortage of such pretentious and stupid people in any era.

The backbone of a nation is supported by tens of millions of such people, which has enabled this nation to stand among the world's powerful nations for five thousand years.

Of course, whether or not to return it will depend on checking the information.

Even if Xiang Yang wanted to hand it over, he would not just hand it over. He would have to exchange it for some benefits. This was not a bargain but what he deserved. And there was a reason to hand it over to someone. It was fine to hand it over for scientific research, but it was out of the question to hand it over to a museum.

Xiang Yang didn't feel any effort in picking up the straight-shelled nautilus. In the ocean, Xiang Yang felt that not only his sensitivity had increased, but his strength had also increased a lot, as if the jade shell had enhanced Xiang Yang's power in all directions in the ocean.

Xiang Yang did not bring the straight-shelled Nautilus back to the boat directly. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity when there were no crew members swimming around the fishing boat and swam under the fishing boat, hiding the straight-shelled Nautilus in the compartment under the winch.

Xiang Yang planned to wait until he reached the high seas before taking out the straight-shell Nautilus.

The two humpback whales couldn't find Xiang Yang, so they swam back to the fishing boat and started playing around it.

Xiang Yang did not disturb the two humpback whales and quietly returned to the sea area where the straight-shelled Nautilus was found.

The shellfish resources in this sea area are extremely rich. Although most of the shellfish only have one shell left and will break into pieces when stepped on, Xiang Yang wants to search more carefully to see if he can find one or more ordinary nautilus shells.

The result was disappointing to Xiang Yang. No trace of the second nautilus shell was found in the sea area.

But after crushing a clam shell, Xiang Yang found another good thing.

“Bang!”

With a crisp sound, a round black pearl rolled out from the clam shell that was crushed by Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang's eyes widened immediately. Pearls are dense mineral condensates produced by secretions from shellfish. It takes a long time for a shellfish to produce a pearl.

Pearls come in different colors. White, light yellow, and light pink pearls are more common and not very valuable. Green, brown, and pink pearls are relatively rare and more valuable. Gold and black pearls are the rarest, and each one is very valuable.
