Although marlins are not easy to deal with, they are not a very threatening fish to humans. Most of the time, marlins will not actively attack humans.
Of course, if you anger the marlins, you'll have to fend for yourself.
Even if hiding on the deck, the marlin, as a type of swordfish, is capable of attacking humans by swimming quickly and then rushing out of the water.
Xiang Yang tried to swim slowly towards the marlin.
The marlin was obviously wary of Xiang Yang, the unfamiliar "marine creature". When it saw Xiang Yang approaching it, it immediately swam away quickly. In the blink of an eye, it appeared more than ten meters away.
Xiang Yang blinked his eyes. The marlin didn't like Xiang Yang.
If Xiang Yang had gone down to the bottom of the sea alone, he might not have provoked the marlin. After all, the marlin is not a creature that can be easily provoked.
Or if this marlin was a little stronger, as strong as a great white shark or even a sea monster, Xiang Yang would have no choice but to retreat because he really couldn't afford to provoke it.
But now Xiang Yang can't retreat.
Because in this sea area, there is not only Xiang Yang himself, but also more than a dozen of Xiang Yang's crew members.
Xiang Yang took a deep look at the marlin, then he disappeared from the spot in a flash and swam quickly towards the water behind him.
When the marlin saw Xiang Yang retreating, its whole body tensed up instantly. Obviously, it had never seen a creature like Xiang Yang that could swim so fast on the seabed.
Soon, Xiang Yang found the bighead carp with its mouth wide open, quickly striking the seabed in search of food, two nautical miles behind the fishing boat.
These two humpback whales went to Antarctica and seemed to have gained a lot of weight after returning.
Especially the big head, its body becomes rounder, and from a distance it looks like a round mountain of flesh.
When Datou saw Xiang Yang appear in front of him, he quickly stopped foraging, rushed out of the sea, made a pleasant whale call, then swam back to the bottom of the sea and circled Xiang Yang twice.
Xiang Yang reached out and touched Datou's head, then swam in front of Datou, led the way, and signaled Datou to swim towards the sea where the fishing boat was anchored.
Although the big-headed fish has a huge body, its swimming speed is not slow at all.
Soon, Datou followed Xiang Yang and arrived at the place where Xiang Yang had discovered the marlin before.
When Xiang Yang came back with Big Head, the marlin was swimming in circles quickly in the same place, probably still confused about how Xiang Yang disappeared.
Seeing Xiang Yang suddenly swimming back with a huge male humpback whale following behind him, the marlin was immediately frightened, turned around and fled quickly into the distance.
Xiang Yang grinned. Fish like the marlin, although ferocious in temperament, are actually not brutal and bloodthirsty. When they see a whale, they will not fight to the death with the whale like sharks do.
Wu Shiwen has always envied the advanced diving equipment on Xiang Yang's ship. In fact, these two humpback whales are Xiang Yang's most advanced diving equipment.
With these two humpback whales, Xiang Yang doesn't have to worry about his own safety when leading his crew on diving operations. As long as they don't encounter those terrifying giant squids that are dozens of meters long, other marine creatures generally do not threaten the safety of Xiang Yang and his crew.
After sending the marlin away, Xiang Yang smiled and touched the humpback whale's head. He used the dagger he carried with him to help it pick off several newly bred barnacles on its body, and then played with it for a while before getting down to business.
Although the sea water here is very dark, after driving away the marlin, Xiang Yang is not worried about any terrible marine creatures.
Because the vegetation in this sea area is not dense and the number of corals is very scarce, there will not be any dangerous marine life in such a sea area.
However, because of the abundance of seaweed in this area, this area can support a large number of marine life, and various marine fishery resources are very abundant.
Xiang Yang likes this kind of sea area the most.
Under a reef, Xiang Yang found a lobster that was bigger than his arm.
Such a big lobster, even if it is just an ordinary lobster, would be very expensive. Xiang Yang certainly would not miss it and pounced directly from above it.
This lobster was very brave. When it saw Xiang Yang pouncing towards it, it did not hide. Instead, it raised its head and clamped Xiang Yang with its two big claws.
If it were someone else, they might be hesitant. After all, this is in the sea, and lobsters are aggressive creatures. If such a big lobster fights with humans under the sea, humans may not be able to be a match for this big creature.
But how experienced is Xiang Yang
Xiang Yang quickly pressed the head of the lobster, then reached to his waist and found two rubber bands, quickly tying the lobster's claws tightly.
After its claws were tightened, the lobster was still struggling, as if trying to throw Xiang Yang away.
But Xiang Yang did not give it this chance. He simply grabbed one of its pincers and swam quickly towards the surface of the sea.
With a lobster this big, even if Xiang Yang stuffed it into the net bag, he couldn't move it under the sea. He simply didn't bother to put it in the net bag and directly dragged it onto the deck.
"Wow, what a big lobster! It must be more than half a meter long." On the deck, Fang Youqun held the lobster and couldn't let it go. Although he had followed Xiang Yang for such a long time and had seen many marine creatures that were much more valuable than lobsters, Fang Youqun still had a special liking for lobsters.
"Brother Yang, I want to go to the sea. I also want to catch such a big lobster." Fang Youqun said anxiously to Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang looked at the big lobster, then at Fang Youqun, and said with a smile: "A lobster this big can be said to be a centenarian in the lobster world. This kind of lobster must live at least fifty or sixty years to grow to such a large size. It's incredible that I can find one. You want to go down and catch another one? That's impossible."
This flower lobster is actually the same species as the Chinese Splendid Lobster, but its color is not colorful, so it cannot be called a Splendid Lobster, but just an ordinary flower lobster.
After Fang Youqun heard Xiang Yang's words, the heat in his eyes gradually dissipated, but he still held the lobster tightly and was unwilling to let go.
Xiang Yang had no choice but to say, "Fang Youqun, don't hold this lobster, or you'll kill it. There aren't many of these lobsters, and even a small one costs more than three hundred yuan per pound. One like this one weighs five or six pounds, so the price must be much higher. I won't pay less than one hundred thousand. Hurry up and find me a water tank to keep it."
