Haichao Island, haimang island.
In the alien world, harvest month is the harvest season, and haimang Island ushered in a special harvest.
"Jose, Herrera, you two remember, once you encounter turbulence, knock the steel cable immediately, we will immediately start the magic motive to pull you up Don''t try to be brave. It''s very dangerous to be hit by turbulence... "
On a 100 ton magic boat floating on the sea, the captain said to the two divers with a serious face.
One diver took the helmet from the crew and said with a smile:
"don''t worry, Captain Brody, we won''t make fun of our lives..."
He raised his right hand and showed the captain the metal ring that was tied to his wrist.
"Look, this is my homemade gadget. I call it the" guard ring ". If there is turbulence, I will use the guard ring to impact the steel cable, because the sound of metal impact is more obvious..."
Brody blinked and immediately understood the benefits.
The guard ring is directly fixed on the arm, which can give an alarm at the first time after encountering turbulence, without wasting time to pick up metal objects such as knives.
Brody nodded and praised:
"Jose, this is a good way. I will suggest to the Department of fisheries to improve all diving suits. If the proposal is adopted, you will get a bonus..."
"Well, I hope so. If there is a bonus, I''ll invite you to Haichao hotel to have a good meal."
Jose laughed, put on his helmet, carried the magic underwater propeller behind his back, and called his companion Herrera. They jumped into the cold water together.
"Poop
"Poop
The sea splashed a lot of water, the winch set up on the deck quickly rotated, and the steel cable wrapped around the winch quickly sank into the water.
Underwater, a stream of water comes out of the jet hole of the propeller, pushing Jose''s body to dive to the bottom of the sea.
Today''s weather is not very good. The sky is covered with a layer of clouds, and the visibility in the water is also greatly reduced. When he dived to a depth of more than 50 meters, the light was obviously dark.
The deeper sea floor is shrouded by darkness. In the darkness, it seems that there are evil monsters ready to move and choose people to eat.
This makes Jos é have a kind of fear and an impulse to turn around and withdraw.
However, he knows that it''s just to scare himself.
Turbulence has come to this area, the fish have already retreated to the deep sea, and the predators who feed on the sea fish have also retreated. All the dangerous sea animals that used to occupy the vicinity of haimang island have left.
How is it possible to meet a monster?
The facts proved his judgment.
Until Jose arrived at the bottom of the sea more than 120 meters deep, he saw nothing but a variety of marine plants swaying with the current.
He breathed out a breath, a string of bubbles from the helmet "grunt grunt" out, floating to the sea.
Jos é turned off the magic underwater thruster, paddled with his limbs, and slowly approached the reefs of the sea floor.
Through the transparent lenses on his helmet, he clearly saw that there were many black holes in the reef group, which were of different sizes. The big holes were thicker than the waist of adult men, and the big holes were only the thickness of the legs.
Jose understood that they were not natural holes.
This is the nest of the boa constrictor.
Sea boa is a kind of highly poisonous sea animal. They have amazing size and great power.
Adult sea boas are generally more than 15 meters long, and some big ones are even more than 25 meters long. Small sea boas are usually between 5 and 8 meters long, which is not small.
When hunting, the boa constrictor usually entangles its prey with its body, then bites the other party, and injects the neurotoxin in its teeth into the hunting object to kill the prey quickly.
In the non storm season, there are a surprising number of boa constrictors living here. Even according to the most rough estimate, the total number is no less than 200000. They are the real owners of the island.
This is the reason why the island was named "haimang island".
However, the boa meat is so bad that it has a strong astringent taste that even the dogs of Haichao collar are not willing to eat it.
This let the boa from the official fishing fleet of tide lead hands, lucky escape a disaster.
After all, sea BoA''s strength is only awakening level at most, and their intelligence quotient is a fatal injury. In front of the metal fishing net of the fishing boat, they simply can''t see enough.
As long as the bait is hung in the fishing net, the silly boa constrictor will fall into the net and be slaughtered by human beings.
With a lot of magic equipment, the tide collar is the top predator in this area.
In contrast, the sea loach, another kind of sea animal very similar to the sea boa, is very popular because of its tender meat. Unfortunately, it is watched by the terrible sea tide collar.
In addition, "salt and pepper sea loach section" is also a necessary "traditional" food for the residents of Haichao. In the previous trend of picnics, the civilians had a great demand for sea loach meat.For half a month, nearly 100 sea loaches fell into the clutches of the devil every day, were skinned and dismembered, and were sent to the human table.
Although there are a large number of sea loach near the sea loach Island, it can not support this industrialized fishing method. The Department of fisheries has been considering formulating a "quota system" to limit excessive fishing.
Unless new habitats are found, the system will be implemented from next year.
At that time, the private fishing of sea loach must spend a sum of money to buy a "fishing license" from the Department of fisheries, or you will be punished and lose your property.
……
Jos é swam in the rocks for a while, looking at a dark shadow hidden in the crevice.
The reefs around it are covered with water and grass. If you don''t pay attention to it, you can easily miss it.
He swung his fins, 3-4 meters away from the shadow.
After looking at him for a few moments, Jose opened his eyes wide and showed a very excited smile at the corner of his mouth.
Oh, my God!
I seem to have found something extraordinary.
He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, took a small high-strength metal mesh from his belt, and was about to swim by when he suddenly saw a flower like plant hidden in the shadow between the rocks.
Its diameter is close to 2 meters, eight black "petals" limply collapsed on the reef, "petals" edge can be seen zigzag, "petals" in the middle of a long slender "stamen".
Jos é''s eyes were fixed. He took down a long Trident from behind and stabbed it at the "stamen".
"Bang!"
Right in the middle of the bull''s-eye.
"Flower" came to life in an instant, "pistil" quickly danced, tightly wrapped in the Trident, eight petals "petals" suddenly closed, trying to wrap the Trident.
This moment''s madness and ferocity made Jose very frightened.
This is the terrible "sawtooth", a carnivore disguised as a flower.
The petals are actually the tentacles of sawtooth poison sunflower, and the surface is covered with fine and hard barbs.
The pistil is another kind of tentacle with different functions. There are long and thin spines on the surface. After penetrating into the hunting object, they will secrete a lot of toxins, or digestive juice, to facilitate the absorption of nutrients.
The toxin is so corrosive that it can melt bones.
If Jos é approaches rashly and is accidentally wrapped up by the knife saw poison sunflower, his NIMA gel diving suit will definitely not block the invasion of the toxin.
This is the case with the ocean of the alien world. Danger is always everywhere. Sometimes, if one neglects, there will be no residue left.
Even if the sea monsters leave, it doesn''t mean they can go blind.
However, saber saw poison sunflower is a soft creature with low defense. Jose took the Trident and pounded it a few times to make it a soft paste.
……
After the obstacle was removed, Jose swam to the shadow.
With the Trident to open the seaweed, he saw the true face of the shadow, a heart suddenly "bang bang" jump up.
Master is going to be rich!
This is a fan-shaped black shell, more than 2 meters in length, the shell surface is full of spherical bulges, it looks very strange.
At this time, the shell seemed to feel something. The mouth, which was slightly opened, was closed very tightly without any gap.
But it can''t go anywhere.
Because one end of the shell adheres to a huge reef, which has become a part of the reef. Even with a knife, it is difficult to get it down.
Jose carefully covers the shell with a metal net, and then hangs the hook of the metal net on the steel cable. Then he taps on the steel cable.
"Dong! Dong
The dull knock spread across the bottom of the sea.
A few seconds later, the cable suddenly stretched straight, dragging Jose to the sea.
"Ka Click... "
The reef shakes a few times, and the shell can''t resist the huge force from the metal net. Several cracks appear in the part connecting the reef, and then it completely separates and is lifted up by the steel cable.
Magic machine + winch structure, can easily drag dozens of tons of heavy objects, human can not pry open the shell, in front of magic machine, is a piece of cake.
"Wow..."
As soon as he got out of the water, he saw several faces full of concern, and the voice of Captain Brody came into his ears.
"Jose, are you ok? How did you get up so fast? "
Jose vomited out his breathing tube, took off his helmet, and exclaimed triumphantly:
"except for those who are capable, no one in the territory has better water quality than me. How can I be in trouble?"
He patted the water with great excitement in his voice:
"Hey, look what I found?"
The cable continued to rise, pulling the shell out of the water.
"God bless the shell!" Captain Brody blurted out, shocked and said, "good guy, this blessed shell is really big..."
This sentence immediately caused a small sensation, all the sailors crowded over to watch.Captain Brody angrily drove the sailors away, personally picked up a magic hand drill and began to decompose the shells.
The hard shell couldn''t hold the high-speed drill, so it was easily broken open, revealing the white meat.
Brody put down the drill, changed a sharp knife, "Shua Shua" a few knives cut open shellfish, turned to find a large milk white meat bag.
The fishing boat was quiet, and everyone was staring at the meat bag.
Brody''s action slowed down. Like a treasure, he first used the tip of a knife to pick out a breach in the meat bag, and then pulled the edge of the breach with his fingers, carefully tearing open the meat bag for fear of hurting the contents.
The crevasse became larger and larger, revealing a bright black bead, the size of which was like a thumb. The texture was crystal clear, just like the best jewelry. It looked very beautiful.
And then the second one
The third
The fourth
A sailor could not help groaning and said in a very envious tone:
"my God, there are so many" blessed pearls "and they are still so big Jose, you are going to make a fortune. The administrative department will certainly give you a big bonus... "
After the pouch was completely opened, Brody found seven beads, five of them big and two small.
The atmosphere on the fishing boat was very warm, and Jose''s face was almost rotten with laughter.
……
In the foreign world, the "Pearl of God''s blessing" is known as the "generous gift of God to mankind", which only exists in the "shell of God''s blessing".
It has several nicknames, such as "the Pearl of blessing", "the Pearl of the Holy Spirit", and "the Pearl of healing", "the Pearl of death and redemption".
Yes, the role of the Pearl of God is to cure disease.
For some malignant diseases, its therapeutic effect is very strong, and the effect is immediate. The patient was still terminally ill in bed yesterday, and will be able to stand up and walk tomorrow.
It''s just like snatching the life of the patient from the embrace of death. It''s amazing.
That''s why many people like to call it "the Pearl of redemption of death.".
The Pearl of God''s blessing has a strange characteristic, that is, the bigger the head, the better the therapeutic effect, and the more diseases can be cured.
Because of this, it is also known as the "natural potion.".
However, the number of Shenyou pearls is quite rare, and most of the Shenyou pearls found are only as big as the tip of the little finger, which can only treat the most common diseases, such as cold, fever, head fever and so on.
It''s simple and convenient to use, grinding a little powder from the surface of the beads and swallowing it with water.
Although the disease that can be cured is effective, the Pearl of little God''s blessing is also valuable. One can sell for 4-5 jinnals.
Brody''s beads of great blessing are extremely rare, and the price of each one is absolutely not less than 1000 jinnals, which can be called priceless.
In other words, even if the price of 10000 jinnals is extremely high, there will definitely be a lot of people scrambling to buy the blessed shell that Jose has found.
That''s why the sailor said to him, "the government department will surely give you a big bonus.".
……
In fact, Shenyou''s shellfish is a kind of shellfish that Renault found by accident while searching for delicious food.
Before that, no one knew that the seashells around haimang Island were so precious.
This is very normal. There are terrible boa constrictors all over haimang island. The local aborigines come here when they are tired of living. In the storm season, going out to sea is just like playing with their lives, and no one will come.
Only Reno, who stands at the top of the food chain, can be qualified to wave in the dangerous alien world.
The shellfish of God''s blessing is very delicious. It can be regarded as the top food. He is full of praise for it. He specially grabbed one and planned to bring it to Angela for a taste.
As a result, we tasted the amazing discovery of "the Pearl of God''s blessing".
Since then, haimang island has been designated as the Lord''s private territory and strictly protected.
Renault also personally ordered that no one should kill the boa constrictor without permission.
Because he suspected that the boa constrictor was the key to the existence of the God blessed oyster population.
Without the protection of the sea boa, I''m afraid that the God bless shellfish would have been killed by the predators.
Renault has carefully explored the number of God''s protection shells. According to his estimation, the number of God''s protection shells living here is about 1000-2000, which is not large.
In order to make rational use of resources, he made the following provisions:
first, fishing can only be carried out in the harvest month every year.
Second, the fishing quota should not exceed 100.
Third, it must be salvaged by hand to avoid habitat destruction.
This year''s harvest month is the first year for the Department of fisheries to salvage the blessed scallops.
In order to carry out the will of the Lord, the Department of Fisheries specially mobilized a group of sailors with the best water quality in the territory to form this special fishing team.……
Captain Brody carefully put the seven blessed pearls in a delicate metal box, and then issued a series of orders:
"Robert, Jarod, you put the blessed pearls in the freezer. This is a high-grade food for the Lord. Be careful..."
"Chapman, go and call Herrera underwater. Our task has been over fulfilled. We don''t need to look for her today..."
"Pack up and get ready to return!"
The sailors responded excitedly, and the fishing boat was busy.
As for the Pearl of God in captain Brody''s arms, it''s not that we didn''t have a different idea, but no one dared to put it into action.
One of these is worth 1000 jinnals. Who''s not greedy?
But it''s the Lord''s private property. It''s so valuable. It''s too serious to stretch out your hand carelessly.
Once exposed, it''s hard for the party concerned to die happily, and the whole family will also suffer miserably. There''s no hope of coming out of the labor camp in his life.
What''s more, who knows if there''s a secret line from the ICAC on the fishing boat?
