My Deep Sea Fishery

Chapter 91: Isn't this a mantis shrimp?

Views:

"If you can really string a bracelet for me, the sun will really rise from the west." Xiang Yang first said to Fang Youqun, then looked at Chen Qingsheng and said, "Master Chen, you have to be honest when you say this. When did I not give you enough benefits and then you volunteered to do it? Why do I feel like a black boss who forced you to do it when I hear you say this?"

"Captain, you are certainly not a black boss. Wasn't that a warning to Fang Youqun?" Chen Qingsheng immediately put on a smiling face and glared at Fang Youqun after he finished speaking.

Fang Youqun immediately said aggrievedly: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Okay, wait for me on the boat. If there are any good things under the sea, I will come up and call you." Xiang Yang stood at the edge of the ship, waved towards the deck, and prepared to jump into the sea.

"Wait." He Mingde called Xiang Yang.

"Um?"

He Mingde pointed to the back of the fishing boat and said, "There's no need to rush. Wait until the two humpback whales swim over before you go down."

He Mingde couldn't stop Xiang Yang from liking to go into the water, but safety was always a hidden danger under the sea. He Mingde had no way to deal with it before, but now there were two humpback whales following the fishing boat. He Mingde wanted Xiang Yang to wait until the two humpback whales swam closer before going down. With humpback whales in this sea area, many ferocious marine predators would retreat.

Xiang Yang looked at the two humpback whales swimming quickly towards him and nodded with a smile, "Okay." Although Xiang Yang was confident that he could ensure his safety with the mysterious jade shell, as the captain of the ship, if Xiang Yang kept rushing into the water headlong, it would be inevitable that other crew members would follow suit.

At this time, the Steller's sea eagle walked to Xiang Yang with its belly bulging and its feet turned outward, and chirped.

Xiang Yang looked at the Steller's sea eagle's chubby belly, smiled and touched its head, "Did you steal a lot of hatchet fish just now?"

The Steller's sea eagle didn't dodge when Xiang Yang touched its head.

There was a flash of surprise in Xiang Yang's eyes. Maybe the Steller's sea eagle would really be able to stay on the boat after it recovered from its injury.

“Woo—”

Soon two humpback whales approached the fishing boat, surfaced and made loud whale calls.

"Let's go." Xiang Yang waved towards the deck and jumped off.

The Steller's sea eagle squeezed its neck out of the railing and tilted its head to look under the sea.

After a while, the Steller's sea eagle seemed to have determined something, and it folded its wings and staggered towards the other end of the deck like an old duck.

When he reached the bottom of the sea, Xiang Yang quickly confirmed through a huge seaweed as tall as a two-story building that he had indeed returned to the sea area where the Christmas tree worms appeared.

After determining the direction, Xiang Yang continued to dive, and soon his feet stepped on the underwater mountain covered with coral reefs.

When Xiang Yang stepped on the ground, he saw two lobsters as long as arms facing each other.

Xiang Yang was frightened by these two big guys. Their tentacles were longer than their bodies, their head was covered with spots, their tail was printed with colorful lines, and their tail was as colorful as a peacock's tail. Isn't this the legendary Chinese lobster

The two Chinese Jingxiu lobsters were not afraid of death either. When they saw such a huge monster like Xiang Yang approaching, they showed no intention of running away. They were still showing off their two spotted dragon whiskers and confronting each other.

Xiang Yang suddenly burst into laughter. Lobsters are a warlike nation. Although the Chinese lobster looks gentle and does not have big claws, they are actually more warlike than the Orocarpus.

Usually when two Chinese lobsters fight, breaking their whiskers is the least serious injury, while breaking their legs is very common.

Of course Xiang Yang was reluctant to see these two precious treasures lose limbs after a fight, so he immediately swam between the two Chinese Jingxiu lobsters and caught the two big guys in one hand.

Two Chinese Jingxiu lobsters were caught by Xiang Yang and they struggled hard in his hands. The force of their struggle was like that of a child catching a beetle. It was hard to imagine that such a huge force could burst out from such a small body.

Xiang Yang grabbed two Chinese lobsters and searched around carefully to see if there were any other Chinese lobsters in the sea.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, Xiang Yang was unable to find the third one.

With a slightly regretful mood, Xiang Yang immediately swam towards the surface of the water. He would never feel at ease if these two Chinese Jingxiu were not put back on the deck.

The Chinese Jingxiu lobster is also known as the magical shrimp. There was a description of it in the Taiping County Annals in the first year of the Tiansheng period of the Song Dynasty: Fishermen caught it in the sea. It is more than three feet long, with two front claws about two inches long, and red whiskers more than a foot long at the end. Its head is like a several-liter container, and it looks like a painting. It has two eyes and twelve legs, and its patterns are like tigers and leopards. It has most of the five colors, and its sturdy appearance is particularly unusual.

Purely wild Chinese Jingxiu lobsters are basically not eaten. They are usually purchased directly by some large seafood restaurants or hotels and kept in large water tanks for customers to see.

Generally, a high-end hotel will have a large water tank that houses a Chinese lobster. Even if there is nothing else in the tank, it can only be described in two words: magnificent!

That's right, the Chinese lobster can only be described as magnificent. It is a rare non-protected animal but lives a better life than protected animals. It is the top-notch food but not many people are willing to eat it. It is also one of the few saltwater shrimps that have made it into the top ranks of ornamental fish.

Of the two caught by Xiang Yang, one has a green body, dark blue antennae and head, black and white limbs, and many yellow spots. Its appearance can only be considered average among many Chinese Jingxiu lobsters, but it is big enough, probably weighing more than two kilograms. Such a Chinese Jingxiu lobster can definitely be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

The other dragon whisker is more than half a meter long and more than 20 centimeters long. What's more rare is that its body is colorful, and there are almost no two pieces of skin of exactly the same color on its body. Such a Chinese Jingxiu dragon is considered to be the best in appearance among Chinese Jingxiu lobsters, and its price will definitely be more than 100,000 yuan.

Xiang Yang swam to the surface and saw Fang Youqun teasing a Steller's sea eagle on the deck.

"Fang Youqun." Xiang Yang shouted immediately.

"Ah? Captain? Didn't you just go into the sea? How did you get back up here?"

"Stop talking nonsense and help me lower a wooden barrel with a rope. I have caught two good things." Xiang Yang shouted.

Good stuff? What good stuff is good stuff that even the captain says is good stuff

Fang Youqun's eyes lit up immediately and he shouted, "Captain, wait for me. I'll go get the barrel now."

Soon, Fang Youqun hoisted two Chinese lobsters onto the boat, and Xiang Yang climbed up the ladder to the deck. As soon as he got on the deck, Xiang Yang heard Fang Youqun complaining, "Isn't this just a mantis shrimp? When did mantis shrimp become a good thing?"
