Time slipped away little by little, and four days passed quickly. Peak 23S.
Fastest update
The sea hunting boat was still moving forward in the wind and waves, but in Lin Chou's eyes, it always felt like a leisurely spring outing.
Slow, too slow, so slow that it is shocking and maddening. How on earth can these people in the sea hunting team endure a life of drifting and swaying on the sea for half a year?
Lin Chou felt like she was going to vomit and was suffering from chronic seasickness!
Who knows what the problem is, but if this continues, Lin Chou feels that he will die of illness, it's so scary.
During the four days, except for the chance encounter with a newly emerged volcanic island, the vast sea remained unchanged.
Just when Lin Chou was suffering from illness, Xiao Hong suddenly appeared, pointed in a direction and said,
"We'll be there soon, that's the sea area where we found signs of yellow-lipped activity before. I'm very confident that they won't leave easily."
Lin Chou squinted his eyes and looked over. Unfortunately, there was nothing on the sea.
"Where are the many ferocious sea beasts you mentioned?"
Xiao Hong took a deep breath,
"You'll see it when we get around there..."
This "immediately" made Lin Chou look forward to it for more than six hours.
God, right now!
As the ship approaches, the sea area where ocean currents meet in Xiao Hongkou comes into view.
Of course, there are no conspicuous marks such as color difference, but the trend of the water pattern has changed, and the two ocean currents show completely opposite trends.
Endless turbulent waves meet here, like two giant beasts fighting for territory. The water slaps against each other, making the sea surface of dozens of kilometers in radius bulge significantly higher than the surrounding bulge. This is only the most conspicuous area, and the intersection of ocean currents
In fact, it is strip-shaped.
In this sea area, disorderly huge waves will appear and disappear suddenly. There are often huge whirlpools hidden under the sea surface that can kill even sea beasts. Their appearance is also irregular.
Lin Chou didn't know if the area where ocean currents converged before the catastrophe was so spectacular. Isn't this a bit too amazing?
Xiao Hongdao,
"It's spectacular, isn't it? I'm sure Huang Lip will never leave because of that place!"
"There?"
Xiao Hong is pointing to the edge of the intersection of ocean currents.
"I didn't see anything."
As the hunting boat gradually approached, Lin Chou saw the problem.
“A ring-shaped mountain range under the sea??”
There is a huge mountain peak creeping under the sea. Its top is almost perfectly round, with a central depression and convex edges. Just one peak spans a distance of more than ten kilometers, and the top of the mountain is even less than a few meters away from the water surface.
, like a huge lake hidden under the sea.
"This may be an extinct volcano, but we can't go down to the bottom to confirm. Boss Lin, look, the sea started to calm down from here on. The circular crater blocked part of the water flow. We observed a lot of things in this crater.
There are no or rare fish outside, including yellow lips. Intuitively speaking, the salinity of the seawater inside the crater is slightly different from that outside, and the fish living inside rarely leave."
Lin Chou felt that it was a bit convenient.
"But every time I encounter a volcano, nothing good seems to happen!"
Xiao Hong,
"..."
Xiao Hong calmed down,
"After passing this mountain pass, if you enter the sea area above the crater, sea monsters will come out and attack."
In order to speak out, Xiao Hong asked Zheng Ou to throw down a buoy made of several discarded large wooden barrels.
The buoy merged into the crater with the full flow of water, and a huge amount of bubbles suddenly surged under the calm water surface, like a torpedo shuttling underwater.
"Snapped!"
The barrel buoy was pulverized by a tentacle.
Yes, powder, not flakes.
The part of the octopus's tentacles exposed out of the water is at least ten meters long, and the thickest root is already as thick as a normal human waist. God knows how big a guy is hidden under the water.
Xiao Hong swallowed her saliva,
"Last time we came here, we waited here for three days. The first day was an alienated tiger shark, the second day was a strange fish that discharged electricity, and the third day was...a palm-sized crayfish.
It’s the kind of crayfish found in the mud on land! We thought there was no danger at first, but Zhonghou almost had his head blown off.”
"..."
Crayfish? What the hell is this!
Xiao Hong said,
"So in the end we gave up and didn't dare to try it at all."
Lin Chou pinched her chin,
"Damn, why are you attacking things on the water? What kind of elixir, magic fruit, and guardian beast are hidden in this crater?"
Zheng Ou interjected,
"Hey, Boss Lin, have you thought of it too? That's what I said at the time, there is definitely a treasure in it, but Sister Hong almost drowned me."
Lin Chou jumped up,
"I'll go in and take a look."
I walked on the sea as if on flat ground, and walked for several kilometers without any abnormality, and the tentacle did not appear again.
"???"
Xiao Hong didn't understand.
"Zheng Ou, try throwing a few more buckets."
Several large wooden barrels were tied up and thrown down again.
It didn’t float beyond the distance of two hundred meters,
"Snapped!"
The barrel was overturned again.
"..."
What does it mean, Poseidon Halo??
Zheng Ou didn't believe it and tried several more times, but no one was spared.
"I am..."
As if something suddenly occurred to him, he rushed into the cabin and carried out at least twenty big white geese while the bearded man scolded his mother.
"Swish swish~"
In all directions, far and near, feathers were flying all over the sky and the panicked squawking of big white geese was everywhere.
More than 20 big white geese panicked for a while, then swam happily on the sea, their necks long and graceful.
The third batch of wooden barrels was launched immediately,
"Pa bang bang~"
Every attack seems to perfectly avoid the big white goose.
Zheng Ou was stunned,
"The goose is too small to see?"
Zheng Ou rushed into the cabin again, carried a very large duck over two meters high, and threw it down without thinking.
As a result, the bearded man chased Zheng Ou out loudly while carrying a pot, his eyes red and he wanted to fight Zheng Ou.
"Wu Cao! My ancestor, that Gadda duck is worth eight thousand circulation points! It has been raised in a cage for more than half a year and is just about to lay eggs... You, you, you..."
Zheng Ou waved his hand in disgust,
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, I'll buy you two more later!"
Duck is fine, but Zheng Ou is not fine.
"Damn, what do you mean? The sea beasts below won't only allow living creatures to enter, right?"
An hour later, Lin Chou came back and caught the big white geese and ducks that were wandering around the world.
"Tsk, the duck is good. What's the ingredient for tonight?"
Zheng Ou said anxiously,
"Boss Lin, what did you see?"
Lin Chou said happily,
"The yellow-lipped ones are down there, not just a few, but in groups. I have to find a way to catch them."
The water was too deep, and the yellow-lipped fish refused to surface. Lin Chou's water attack was very weak. If he used a shovel, it would be difficult to control the power. If he damaged these treasures, Lin Chou would probably cry.
It's a pity that Furball didn't follow.
Xiao Hong said with a smile,
"Boss Lin has forgotten what we do? We use fishing nets!"
"yes!"
Under the stunned gazes of the two people, Lin Chou carried the 11.5-ton fishing trawl to the waters of the crater. He tied the nets horizontally and vertically, tied the cables directly to his waist, and stared at the water below the water without blinking.
movement.
A group of yellow-lipped fish appear and disappear under the sea surface that is tens or even hundreds of meters deep. It is not the bottom of the sea anymore, but it is no longer visible. The devil knows how deep it is under the crater. Anyway, from Lin Chou
It's pitch black from here, so the yellow-lipped fish feels like it's disappearing and appearing.
Money, commonly known as Yellow Lips, also known as Qian Meng, was firmly on the red list before the catastrophe and was extremely dangerous.
Just like its name, catching one of this thing is no different than catching a red old man of the same weight in a net, and may even be worth more.
The main reason is that the swim bladder in its belly can be made into the belly of abalone and ginseng fins, which is the so-called fish maw, isinglass, and the yellow-lip gum is the best among fish maws, called Huang'ao gum.
Yellow lips as big as those under Lin Chou's feet can be said to be rare in the world.
Well, not just before the Cataclysm, but also now.
Because for humans during the Great Cataclysm, anything under the sea can be said to be rare. Except for parts of the Black Sea that are designated as safe sea areas, no one can go down there and no one dares to try it. Sea Hunting
What the team and fishing boats can bring back all depends on fate. It is simply wonderful and sour.
Lin Chou looked expectantly at a group of yellow lips swimming leisurely under the sea.
"Enter the network, enter the network!"
About half an hour later, a small group of yellow-lipped fish finally approached the net bag that had sunk to the sea.
Lin Chou jumped three feet high and started running with the cable wrapped around his waist. The cable suddenly became straight.
Because he rides on the waves, he can run much faster on the sea than on land. It can be said that he is as quiet as a virgin and as active as a mad dog, or even out of control.
Fueled by the sea water, he had already traveled several kilometers in just a few breaths.
"Ha~ It's coming, it's coming."
Get on the boat and close the net.
Xiao Hong and Zheng Ou were still confused when they helped. After living half their lives, they had never seen a net used like this. The net was soaked in water, plus the resistance and weight. How much effort would it take to drag it away?
Running so far so fast!
The more than 3,000-meter-long trawl net was pulled out of the water little by little, and Lin Chou's heart sank to the bottom.
"Damn it...why is it broken? The quality of your network is so bad!"
Zheng Ou was speechless,
"Break it? You can't..."
He stretched out his hand and pulled up a network cable. Even though he was a fifth-level evolved person, it took him a little effort to break the network cable.
Zheng Ou's eyes widened,
"How is this possible? They are just ordinary fish and have not been alienated. How can they get such strength? Boss Lin, are the strange beasts hidden under the sea tampering with it?"
Lin Chou shook his head,
"Absolutely not. I didn't see any trace of them at all. They didn't show up from the beginning to the end."
In fact, Lin Chou never paid much attention to those things. He only showed up as an extra dish for dinner.
At such an important moment, no matter where they have a role, they can't be given as supporting roles!
Xiao Hongdao,
"Perhaps there is something wrong with this fish, hiding a higher level of aura?"
Zheng Ou thought for a while,
"Didn't Boss Lin know how to fish when he was studying this? I have a roll of sea fishing cable produced by Ellis. It is made of the sinews of alien beasts. Even if you use your original power, it is absolutely impossible to break it under the fourth level.
Cable, as long as you are strong enough, anything biting the hook will never escape!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take it out~"
Zheng Ou took out a reel of cable wrapped around the thigh bone of the alien beast and said reluctantly,
"Boss Lin, please don't lose it...it's so valuable...it's really..."
Lin Chou looked at the cable and the oversized fishhook on it.
“Yellow lip fish, what bait do you like to eat?”
The bearded man hugged the precious duck,
"If it lays eggs, use duck eggs to ensure that it is caught. Normally... this fish will only eat some shrimps, crabs, conches, etc. It doesn't have high food requirements."
In the end, Big Beard helped prepare the bait. He used live bait and applied the spices he said he had made secretly. Well, it might be spices for the fish, but it stunk a few people on the boat.
Facing everyone's doubtful and disgusted eyes, the bearded man patted his chest and assured,
"Three generations of my family have been fishing with boats. This bait is definitely good. If you can't catch the yellow-lipped fish, just hook me up and sink me into the sea!"
Zheng Ou is even more disgusted,
"Look at how fat you are, can you sink a fishhook?"
"..."
This is a bit hurtful.
Lin Chou said that he caught Yellow Lips and invited the bearded man to eat. The bearded man was very excited.
"I want to take care of my family, and I can choose the time. My little wife just gave birth to a baby for me a few days ago. It's not even a month old yet. I want to...hehehe..."
Lin Chou: Damn it, I suddenly feel weird.
The cable was long enough, so Lin Chou didn't have to sit on the water to wait. She could just lay it out in several directions and sit on the boat looking at the sky.
After a while,
"He's moving, he's quite energetic, he's a big guy!"
Zheng Ou happily helped to reel in the thread and said to the bearded man as he pulled it,
"I'm telling you what you can't catch and sink into the sea!"
The bearded man said quietly,
"Then what's biting the hook?"
Zheng Ou was stunned and then cursed,
"Fuck, I mean if I can't catch Yellow Lips, I'll sink you into the sea. I'm always annoying you, do you know that?"
"hehe!"
Zheng Ou was filled with anger,
"Sister Hong, don't worry, you are so annoying as a housekeeper. This guy actually yells at me? I can't bear it! Do you have any respect for the powerful fifth-level evolver?"
Xiao Hong smiled,
"hehe!"
"..."
So Zheng Ou silently continued to pull the cable. The first cable pulled up, but it was a sardine that was about three meters long.
Zheng Ou rubbed his face, trying to see if he could remove some of the dark spots on his face.
"This is lucky, right? Such a big sardine is rare in history! Well, I am Zheng Ou, European Ou, with a capital O, I deserve it!!"
The bearded man responded repeatedly,
"Yes, that's right. It's worth at least 250 circulation points when sold to a cannery."
Europe's Europe was silent,
"Really, sooner or later you will be drowned by me. The fifth-level evolution will personally preside over the sinking ceremony. It is very honorable. Do you want to try it now?"
The bearded man looked happily at Xiao Hong and then at Zheng Ou, which was meaningful.
"Let's go together~"
Zheng Ou felt that his life was really a failure, and even if a little miscellaneous fish jumped out of the background, it would be more powerful than his own head.
