The fish I catch can be upgraded

Chapter 323 The Underwater Cave

A lunch ended with the criticism of the three women.

The appearance of the king's full-footed worm aroused their most instinctive resistance. In their words, even if it was better than lobster, they would not eat it.

Therefore, Chu Mingcheng took screenshots of these similar messages and saved them, so that he could slap Zhenxiang in the face when he went back.

As men, Chen Yang and Zhang Wei have a high degree of acceptance of this, and both expressed their desire to try it.

After lunch, Chu Mingcheng continued to drive the Poseidon to the open sea.

For the remaining grouper deep-sea fish, it is better to go to the open sea to catch even if the longline is released.

There are many resources, and it will not delay him to find the sunken ship.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the Poseidon came to the shipwreck area of ​​the medium-sized cruise ship.

But whether he can find it, Chu Mingcheng is not sure at all.

But at this moment, he was not in a hurry to find the sunken ship. Instead, he sailed to a small island discovered with a telescope, and found a good place to put all five longlines down.

It is very suitable to explore the sunken ship at night, but if you are looking for it, it is better to look for it in the sun during the day.

Now that the sun was almost setting, Chu Mingcheng certainly didn't have the intention to find the sunken ship immediately.

With the longline in place he went to the foredeck and stowed the fins.

Making shark fins is actually very troublesome. These completely dried fish fins are now placed in water at [-] degrees Celsius by Chu Mingcheng and need to be scalded until soft.

This will take some time, so he chooses to prepare dinner.

After eating, he came out and touched the fins, and found that the fins had become soft again, so he took them out and put them in cold water.

Then he got a knife and started scraping the hard scales and skin from the base of the fin to the tip.

After scraping, continue to soak the peeled fish fins in cold water. This time it needs to be soaked for four hours, and then the bones need to be deboned.

So he simply took the electric winch and went to the stern to fish.

The electric winch was working automatically, and Chu Mingcheng, who was sitting on the chair, looked up at the sky full of stars, and sighed in his heart.

Such scenery can no longer be seen in the city!
At this time, the fishing rod suddenly moved, and Chu Mingcheng couldn't care less about sighing and quickly got up and pressed the button to retrieve the fishing line.

The fishing line was reeled in quickly, and after a short while, an Ise lobster with its teeth and claws was caught.

"I'm going~"

Seeing the big lobster he caught clearly, Chu Mingcheng didn't care about being surprised, he quickly grabbed the fishing line and lifted it up.

The fiery red color, at first glance, I thought it was Aolong.

Chu Mingcheng, the name of the Ise lobster, has naturally been heard, but those who know it probably think that this lobster comes from Xiaotian.

But in fact, there are treasure island straits and the South my country Sea, but he has never encountered them before.

This Ise lobster is about 30 centimeters long, which is relatively large among Ise lobsters.

I want to show off a bit!
Chu Mingcheng hesitated for a moment, afraid that he might not be able to catch the second one this time, so he went to get a fish box first, turned on the oxygen pump and put the lobster in it.

It's better to endure it first, and go back and show off with my wife.

Now that he has obtained the certificate with Jiang Luoluo, this sentence of daughter-in-law is justified.

In addition, the living water tank can clear up a little space to raise lobsters, but there is only one at present, and he doesn't want to be so troublesome.

Then he continued to fish, but after catching two groupers, he caught a slightly smaller Ise lobster. Chu Mingcheng's eyes lit up. Is there a lobster nest here?
Crab pots are not very suitable for catching lobsters, so he didn't put crab pots.But the speed of catching lobsters was relatively slow, so he simply changed into a diving suit.

It is inconvenient to find shipwrecks at night, but it is very suitable for catching lobsters.

Since he knew how to dive, he found that apart from all kinds of shells and conchs that don't move very much, the silly lobsters and crabs are relatively easy to catch.

With two large net bags hanging on his body, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water decisively.

Turning on his headlights, he swam straight down to the bottom.

When I came here in the evening, it was almost dark, and Chu Mingcheng really didn't know that there was a coral reef at the bottom of the water.

It is not surprising that there are many lobsters here. Basically, small boats will not come here, and large trawlers will not come to the small island to fish.

Therefore, the location of Chuming City is very rich in resources.

As soon as he came to the bottom of the water, he saw all kinds of fish, some of which he had never caught before, and even a small part of which he didn't know.

Chu Mingcheng knew about domestic fish, but that didn't mean he knew everything about foreign fish.

The resources are so good, it seems that there will be a big harvest when the longline is collected.

But this time he is more interested in lobsters. Ise lobsters are rare in China, and the price should be around three hundred and one catties, which is about the same size as Aolong.

It's just that Aolong can grow bigger, and the price will naturally increase with its size.

When he came to the bottom of the water, Chu Mingcheng laughed when he saw the swaying long whiskers emerging from under the coral, but he didn't expect to find a group of lobsters as soon as he came.

He has only encountered this kind of situation in Xisha and abroad.

Chu Mingcheng didn't waste any time, and immediately reached out to touch it after passing by.

"squeak"

The lobsters were frightened and made their unique sounds, which could still be heard clearly even in the water.

Next to it, one or two lobsters jumped out from under the coral and fled to the distance.

But more are still inside, just moved to the side, which is why Chu Mingcheng dared to reach out and grab them.

With more than a year of professional career, he has a good understanding of the habits of most marine organisms.

When Xisha met the hairy lobster, he was afraid that he could only catch one or two, and the other lobsters would all run away.

Finally, I chose to use bait to fish, and it took a lot of time to catch them all.

At that time, he was new to this industry, so he really didn't know much about the habits of lobsters.

But it is different now, in order to save time, Chu Mingcheng is not afraid of the lobster running away at all.

He caught it very quickly, and it only took a few minutes to catch five Ise lobsters of good size.

As for the others, of course they ran away, almost half of them were caught and half of them were run away.

Although he ran a lot, the efficiency was much faster than fishing, and then he continued to look for the next lobster nest.

Sure enough, as he expected, there are indeed a lot of lobsters here. It took him less than 2 minutes to find a lobster nest at the bottom of another pit.

He also stretched out his hand to grab it. After 5 minutes, the two large net bags he brought were full, and there were thirteen Ise lobsters inside.

The number of lobsters here was a bit beyond his imagination, so he quickly swam back to the boat and dumped all the lobsters into the fish box, which was almost half full in no time.

Seeing this, Chu Mingcheng frowned. The fish tank was not big enough. Although it wasn't full, there were too many lobsters in it, and it might not be able to hold oxygen.

Moreover, the oxygen pump has to be charged, and it is far less convenient to use than the live water tank.

He simply came to the living water tank on the king's full-footed worm, and then arranged the space, leaving half of it.

The reduced space of the king-pod worm makes it more crowded, but the vitality of this worm is far from comparable to that of a lobster.

He should be back in two days, so it's not a big problem.

Then he dumped the lobsters into the living water tank, took out all the net bags on the boat and hung them on his body, and then jumped into the water to continue catching.

With eight net bags hanging on his body, he looks like the eight bag elders of the beggar gang, which is a bit interesting.

However, the eight net pockets also save him from having to go back and forth frequently, which is much more convenient.

Chu Mingcheng slowly searched for the lobster in the water, and before he knew it, he came to the bottom of the cliff of the island.

The coral reefs here are gradually replaced by reefs, but fortunately there are still a lot of lobsters.

Chu Mingcheng wondered if no one had visited this place for a long time, and why there were so many lobsters.

Of course, what he caught later was not all Ise lobsters, but also dense hairy lobsters, green lobsters and striped spiny lobsters.

These lobsters are all about the same size. So far, he has caught more than 30 lobsters, filling six net bags.

At this moment, he found another big lobster crawling on the edge of a rock.

Chu Mingcheng approached slowly, but this lobster was very vigilant, before he reached out his hand, the lobster suddenly slapped its tail, and it flew far away.

Normally, he would give up.

But this lobster was the largest one I encountered tonight, reaching a full height of more than 50 centimeters.

It would be a pity if this kind of big lobster gave up, so Chu Mingcheng resolutely chased after it.

After chasing and chasing, a huge cave with the height of a person suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He stopped quickly, and then watched the lobster swim in and disappeared.

Chu Mingcheng looked at the huge cave with an uncertain expression.

The distance from which the light shines is limited, so he came to the entrance of the cave and took a look inside, only to find that the cave was very deep.

In the cave, you can see many fish swimming and some small crabs crawling.

After thinking twice, Chu Mingcheng chose to go back and continue looking for other lobsters.

It is not surprising to find caves near small islands. Due to geological reasons, many cave explorers go into caves on land, and it is not uncommon for them to come out in the sea.

Chu Mingcheng is a little curious about this cave, and because of the map, he can find the direction even if he gets lost in the cave.

But who knows where this cave leads to and how long it is, so there is no actual benefit value, and he is too lazy to venture in.

Tonight, Chu Mingcheng has been busy.

After catching the lobsters, the number became less and less. In the end, he only caught more than 80 lobsters in total. In this case, he simply went back to collect the longline first.

All five longlines were pulled up, and more than 1000 catties of fish were harvested, which is indeed much more than that in domestic waters.

After a busy night, I woke up the next day with a catch of more than 700 catties, which was only more than 1000 catties left to meet the customer's order requirement.

The longline continued to be lowered, and Chu Mingcheng began diving to find the medium-sized cruise ship.

But the information he found was too vague about the geographical location. The sea is so vast, so how could he find it if he just searched for it.

From morning to night, even in places with a water depth of 600 meters, it turned out that Chu Mingcheng didn't even find a piece of glass.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was more or less discouraged by the result.

Originally, he planned to continue searching the next day, but the weather at sea changed rapidly. Unfortunately, Chu Mingcheng encountered a violent storm while sleeping.

The strength of the sea breeze was almost the same as the last typhoon, and he quickly sailed to the leeward side of the island.

Sitting in the cab, Chu Mingcheng was somewhat nervous, this was the first time he encountered such bad weather at sea.

The Poseidon has been up and down violently with the waves on the sea surface, and it looks like it will turn over at any time.

Fortunately, the Poseidon has a relatively high level of wind and wave resistance, and the ship is on the leeward side of the island, so it was bumped a bit, and it has been safe and sound.

The bad weather lasted all morning, and Chu Mingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the gradually calming sea.

In just a short while, all the dark clouds dispersed, revealing the bright sun.

Chu Mingcheng hurriedly drove the boat to the place where the longlines were put in, but the longlines were pushed to the bottom of the cliff of the island, and all became entangled.

Chu Mingcheng was also very helpless, the weather came as soon as it was said, and it still came after four o'clock in the morning.

He also woke up because of the shaking of the boat at that time, and he drove the boat to a relatively safe position at the first time, so he didn't care about the longline!

Now that the longlines are all entangled, it may be difficult to untie them. Even if they can be untied, it would be a waste of time. It is better to buy them again.

But this thing can't stay here, it has to be taken back to the ship and brought back to land.

Chu Mingcheng changed into a diving suit and took two live fish buckles. It is estimated that there should be a lot of fish on the longline, which must be retrieved.

After jumping into the water, Chu Mingcheng came to the side of the long rope.

The location is a coincidence, just on the side of the cave, and many sub-lines are in the cave.

Chu Mingcheng first pulled the sub-thread back, and if there were fish, he untied it and hung it on the live fish buckle, and then directly wrapped the sub-thread around the messy main thread.

Some of the sub-threads were hanging on the bottom, so he swam along the thread to untie them.

After several hours of busy work, Chu Mingcheng took back most of the sub-threads.

There were also a lot of fish, estimated to be several hundred catties, but because of the weather in the morning, most of them died of lack of oxygen.

Fortunately, the fish was still fresh, and he put it in the refrigerated cabin after bleeding.

Then, he put on the headlamp and began to retrieve the sub-threads in the cave.

Most of them are fine and can be pulled back directly. In the end, some parts are still hanging inside, and Chu Mingcheng needs to go in and untie them.

The entrance of the cave can be seen clearly because of the sunlight, but the interior is not so good, so he turned on the headlight to illuminate it.

Following the sub-line, Chu Mingcheng swam into the cave.

This cave is really as he guessed, deep enough!

His strands are 100 meters long, and the deepest ones are probably hung in the cave at a depth of 80 to [-] meters.

After untying the sub-thread, Chu Mingcheng was about to go back, but when he looked up, he unexpectedly found more than a dozen dense lobsters on the ground.

They lined up in a row, slowly crawling towards the outside of the cave like a train.

This reminded Chu Mingcheng of the very big lobster before, which was also a hairy lobster at that time. After he found it, he swam directly to this cave. Could it be that there is a hairy lobster nest in this cave?
He was more or less curious, and wanted to go in and look for it.

Even though the cave was deep, he estimated that the lobster would not run that far. He might be able to find it easily and not get lost.

Then he took the sub-line and grabbed the group of lobsters crawling on the ground first.

Caught four big ones, and the rest ran away.

Because he didn't bring a net bag, he had to tie it up with a sub thread first.

After swimming out of the cave, Chu Mingcheng pulled the longline back to the boat, piled it in a corner and rinsed it repeatedly with clean water to avoid an unpleasant fishy smell after drying.

After rinsing, he put on eight net bags again and jumped into the water to swim to the cave.

Coming to the entrance of the cave again, this time without any hesitation, he swam directly to the depths of the cave.

Chu Mingcheng wasn't sure how long he had been swimming, but he did find a group of hairy lobsters in a circular pothole inside the cave.

This group of lobsters, or their partners took the initiative to guide him to find.

This pothole should be their hiding place.

At that time, after swimming halfway in Chuming City, they found one after another or rows of lobsters slowly crawling out.

Then he followed the route of these lobsters and found the pothole around the corner.

Of course, as long as the lobsters were big, he caught them and put them in the net bag.

When encountering such a nest of densely haired lobsters, Chu Mingcheng naturally would not let them go.

Soon, there was a scene of lobsters fleeing in a hurry in the cave.

Chu Mingcheng's net bag was filled with furry lobsters in just a short while, and instead of continuing to explore the depths of the cave, he returned to the Poseidon and put the lobsters into the living water tank.

Now there are more than 130 lobsters in the living water tank, and there is no room for more lobsters.

Chu Mingcheng took all the net pockets, leaving only one, then put the headlamp and a flashlight in, and took the other flashlight with him.

With this posture, it is obvious that he is interested in this cave and is going to go in and have a look.

But before going in, Chu Mingcheng first opened the map of Mouse Ban and Dong Xing Ban.

When he found that these two kinds of fish were present outside the cave, and they didn't move much, he also felt confident.

With these two kinds of fish as coordinates, even if he gets lost inside, he can easily find the exit.

After the preparations were completed, Chu Mingcheng returned to the cave.

This cave has not had a fork so far, but it is more convenient for him to explore.

Holding a flashlight in his hand and scanning continuously, Chu Mingcheng penetrated deeper and deeper.

He didn't know how much he swam, but he suddenly found that the terrain of the cave was getting higher and higher, and the water was getting shallower.

About 5 minutes later, Chu Mingcheng got up from the water and stood on dry land.

This waterway is quite long, although he was swimming slowly, it still took nearly half an hour.

It's just that he originally thought that the cave was facing downwards, but he didn't expect it to be upwards.

Suddenly, Chu Mingcheng's eyes froze, and the flashlight shone on the ground.

"Why are there so many footprints?"

There were no bats or other animals in the dark cave, but a large group of messy footprints appeared inexplicably.

Then he took the flashlight and shone at the sea behind, and then found some obvious footprints in the shallow water.

There are people in this cave, and not just one person.

Chu Mingcheng stretched out his hand to feel it, and found that there was no wind in the cave, so what happened?
There is no wind in the cave, which means that either the exit is far away, or this is a one-way exit cave.

So what about the people inside?
There will be no savages, will there be?

Chu Mingcheng thought suddenly, but looking at the footprints, it was obvious that they were the soles of shoes, and it was obvious that the people who appeared in the cave were ordinary humans.

Curiosity is even heavier!
Chu Mingcheng took the flashlight to illuminate, and began to walk slowly inside.
