My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 181 The Feather Duster Worm

After inspection, all equipment on board is normal.

"set sail!"

Following Xiang Yang's order, Xu Fang, who was already in the cab, immediately blew the whistle.

"Woo!"

Accompanied by a loud siren, the fishing boat slowly left the coast and headed for the distant sea.

Out of the sea area of ​​Qinglong Bend, what surprised Xiang Yang was that the two humpback whales came out of nowhere and happily circled the fishing boat.

"These two big guys have been staying outside the sea area of ​​Qinglong Bend. I thought they had swum away long ago." Xiang Yang said happily.

"They seem to be waiting for us here?" Chen Qingsheng asked uncertainly.

Xiang Yang wanted to feed the two humpback whales some snacks, but he had just set out to sea, and there were no cheap sea fish like cuttlefish or squid on board.

After throwing a chicken leg into the sea, Xiang Yang immediately gave up the idea after seeing that the two humpback whales refused to eat it.

The two humpback whales did not leave because Xiang Yang did not provide them with food. They happily chased after the fishing boat, chirping from time to time, and sprayed a water column more than one meter high from the whale hole, which looked very impressive. excited.

Xiang Yang ordered Xu Fang to sail the fishing boat all the way to the east. After several hours of sailing, the fishing boat arrived at a brand new sea area.

This sea area seems to have ocean currents passing by. Xiang Yang saw through the surface of the vast ocean that there are colorful transparent jellyfish, yellow seahorses, colorful tropical fish, and all kinds of beautiful marine animals are colorful and different in shape. They float or Swimming in the water is like a moving colored pen, painting a bright underwater world together, so beautiful that Xiang Yang can't help but admire: nature is simply amazing to human beings.

"Huh, that's it?" Xiang Yang, who was standing on the side of the ship overlooking the seabed, suddenly had his eyes lit up, and he saw a very remarkable underwater creature.

At first glance, it is a bright red flower that looks like an old-fashioned feather duster, with a very distinct layering. If you look closely, you can find that its blooming feathers are moving slowly, as if they were 3D printed.

If people who don't know much about marine life see it, they must think that they have seen a strange underwater flower, but Xiang Yang knows that it is a marine life called a feather duster worm.

That's right, worms.

If Xiang Yang hadn't known this kind of creature for sure, he would never have believed that those beautiful and bright feathers could be a kind of worm.

Feather duster worms, like Christmas tree worms, are known as one of the top ten most beautiful marine creatures. It is a tube-dwelling worm that often lives in groups and looks as beautiful as countless feathers rippling on the bottom of the water.

A single feather duster worm resembles an old-fashioned feather duster, except for the head, in a tube where sand is deposited.

The tube in the head of the feather duster worm also has two crowns, which are the organs through which it breathes and eats.

These tiny things hidden in the tube are as sensitive as a Christmas tree worm and can detect danger.

Among the feather duster worms that Xiang Yang saw, there were also beautiful red, orange and brown sponges wandering around, which added a bit of poetic beauty to it.

"Master Xu, the boat stops here, let's cast a net down." Xiang Yang shouted into the intercom.

The fishing boat slowed down immediately, and at the same time Xu Fang's voice came from the intercom, "Captain, are you not going to trawl?" According to Xu Fang's many years of fishing experience, the water in this sea area is clean and clear, and it is in a warm current. If you trawl the net, you can definitely reap a lot of money.

"The water here is not very deep. If we trawl, it will cause irreversible damage to the seabed. We don't trawl." Xiang Yang explained.

He Mingde on the side nodded and said: "Yes, many fishing boats also like to use land-scraping trawls in shallow water. Every haul is a huge damage to the marine ecological environment."

Xiang Yang smiled and said nothing, he watched the fishing boat turn off and stop.

After Zhou Wang skillfully put the net into the ocean, Xiang Yang said: "It will take about an hour for us to collect the net. After such a long time, everyone is idle. Does anyone want to go to the sea with me?"

No one rejected Xiang Yang's proposal. It was not the first time for everyone to dive, and they had already passed the stage of being afraid of unfamiliar seabeds.

The second reason is that the diving equipment on Xiangyang's boat is very advanced now, and there are two humpback whales escorting him a few hundred meters behind him, which guarantees sufficient safety.

The most important point is that what Xiang Yang just said was going to the sea to have fun, not to work underwater. At this time, if you catch any valuable fish on the bottom of the sea, you don’t need to hand it over to Xiang Yang. Reporting valuable fish groups to Xiang Yang can also get Xiang Yang's red envelope reward.

"Captain, I'm going down."

"Brother Yang, I want to go down too."

"Boss, lend me a diving suit."

Immediately, many crew members shouted, even Chen Qingsheng asked to go into the water. Xiang Yang remembered that when he first arrived on this boat, these old crew members didn't like to go into the water very much.

Xiang Yang smiled, "Okay, everyone who wants to go down will follow me to get a diving suit. Those who didn't get on the wheel last time will give priority to going into the water this time. If you don't have a chance this time, wait for the next time."

Xiang Yang still only has fifteen sets of diving equipment on board, and Xiang Yang likes to watch the crew take diving as a kind of competition.

When he got to the bottom of the ocean, Xiang Yang swam straight to the cluster of feather duster worms. These were his main targets when he came down. As for the swimming crabs, the seafood that can be seen everywhere is not worth Xiang Yang's special trip down now.

The method of catching feather duster worms is similar to that of catching Christmas tree worms. It didn’t take long for Xiang Yang to catch several feather duster worms. At this time, he started to swim to the surface of the sea. With these few samples, he could justifiably call the crew on the ship. Down to catch this worm.

Although Xiang Yang doesn't know how much a feather duster worm can sell for, but the Christmas tree worm, which is one of the top ten most beautiful marine creatures along with the feather duster worm, can be sold at a high price.

At the same time, Fang Youqun also found something good in this sea area. After he went into the sea, he avoided the scope of the fishing net and stepped on a reef on the bottom of the sea.

Just as Fang Youqun was lying on the ground, trying to look for crab holes under the reef, he suddenly saw a huge group of purple crystal objects.

The object looked a bit like a living thing, but it obviously didn't have the basic characteristics of a living thing, but if it wasn't a living thing, it was swaying leisurely on the bottom of the sea.

"What's that?" Fang Youqun, whose curiosity was aroused, immediately swam towards that place.
