Chapter 1096 An unexpected discovery(1/2)

This long silver-white "ribbon" made both of them widen their eyes in surprise.

Also because of the long strip of silvery-white light in the middle, the densely packed sea urchins growing on the steep cliffs on both sides of the trench are extremely clear, just like natural lighting.

As if their eyes were not enough, the two of them looked back and forth between the sea urchin and the light, but they couldn't communicate underwater. They couldn't express the shock in their eyes, and they didn't have the right tools in their hands, so they could only hold it in.

Ye Yaodong was the first to react. He gestured to Aguang and took out the large net bag he had brought with him when he entered the water, as well as the iron claws that were always tied to his waist, and motioned for him to start working first.

Originally, the purpose of their trip to the water was the sea urchins growing on the cliffs on both sides of the trench. The silver-white ribbon in the middle was an unexpected discovery. We can talk about it after we get up there. Time is limited, so let's do the work that needs to be done now.

Only then can you go up again.

A Guang also immediately calmed down and imitated him by taking out all the tools tied to his waist. Then he also followed him, swinging his flippers, and went down into the trench. He hooked the sea urchins on the cliff with his iron claws and dropped them into the net bag.

After all, this was the first time he had done this job, and A Guang was not that agile. After a few moves, he turned around to look at what was happening next to Ye Yaodong. After seeing his slippery speed, he also speeded up and stopped hesitating.

After focusing all his attention on the densely packed sea urchins on the cliff, he also forgot his fear and forgot that he was now in the middle of the trench, with silver-white light underneath instead of a pitch-black hole.

And because of the bright lighting underneath, their vision is no longer obstructed and their efficiency is much higher.

After Ye Yaodong waited for the two net bags in his hands to be filled, he threw them to the bottom of the sea and swam to Ah Guang. Seeing that he had just started filling the second net bag, he waited a moment.

By the way, I took a look at the "ribbon" underneath that glowed silvery white.

These "ribbons" are hairtails. The densely packed long hairtails of silvery white are deep under the trench. They are swinging and moving, filling the bottomless trench. It no longer makes people feel numb in the scalp and as if they are about to be drowned.

The illusion of sucking it down.

They are all swinging constantly, and they are densely packed under the wide trench.

He was shocked when he saw it for the first time. Although he knew that there would be many strange creatures growing in the trench, the deeper the trench, the more strange the creatures grew.

But he never expected that there would be hairtail fish just under the trench.

Hairtail fish generally live in waters between 60 meters and 200 meters deep. They can be found in the waters of the continental shelf. These places are rich in food and suitable for them to hunt.

For example, the hairtail in the East my country Sea floats in the middle of the sea (about 60 meters) during the day and sinks to the bottom of the sea (100 meters deep) at night. During the winter solstice, the water temperature drops, and the hairtail swims to the depths of the water to escape the cold.

In addition, there are other species of deep-sea hairtail fish that live in trenches 1,000 meters deep all year round.

At a depth visible to the naked eye, these hairtails are currently at a depth of tens of meters. They do not belong to a special species of deep-sea hairtails, but look like ordinary white hairtails.

Just when he was wondering, what if there were so many hairtails down there, covering up the sky and the sun, and what about the jellyfish?

Jellyfish also emerge from the bottom of the trench...

Obviously there were jellyfish on the water just now, which means there are still jellyfish popping up, so what's going on with the hairtails below? Shouldn't there be no jellyfish this year, and instead they should be replaced by hairtails?

Just when he was wondering, he saw a small group of hairtail fish moving violently in a small area below, and then a large black hole was revealed around it.

The hairtail fish that were originally there all moved to the side to avoid it, and a transparent bulk jellyfish emerged from the black hole and slowly rose up.

"Fuck..."

He cursed in his mind, could it be the hairtail dove occupying the magpie's nest?

When the jellyfish flood season arrives and a large number of jellyfish emerge, these hairtail fish should migrate to escape, right?

Fish generally have a hostile relationship with jellyfish. Once the fish touches the tentacles of the jellyfish, these stinging cells will eject the stinging threads inside and pierce the fish and shrimp. The stinging threads also contain various types of venom to paralyze the fish.

shrimp.

In this way, no matter how flexible the fish or shrimp is, they cannot escape the "clutches" of the jellyfish, so the fish and the jellyfish have a hostile relationship.

Ye Yaodong's eyes were always on the jellyfish that had just emerged from the hairtail school. He wondered whether as the number of jellyfish increased day by day, these hairtail schools would disappear and they would move to another place.

Then he needs to hurry up?

After Aguang waited until his net bag was full, he stopped and turned around to look for Ye Yaodong, only to find that he was not far behind him.

At the same time, the hairtail school around them started to stir again, and two more black holes appeared. After a while, two more jellyfish rose up from the bottom of the black hole.

"Huh?"

A Guang was extremely surprised.

Earlier, when the two of them were concentrating on hooking the sea urchins with their iron claws, several jellyfish appeared intermittently beside them, emerging from the bottom of the trench in the same manner.

It's just that the two of them didn't notice it, and they didn't notice it until after the work was done.

Ye Yaodong looked at the jellyfish that appeared in the same way and roughly understood.

He patted A Guang and signaled that he could go up.

The two of them swung their flippers at the same time, holding the rope of the net bag containing the sea urchin in their hands, and swam upward.

As soon as he came out of the water, Aguang couldn't wait to take off the mask and trachea from his face.

"Damn it, there are not only sea urchins down there, but also hairtail fish and horse-riding ones. They almost blinded my eyes. I have been wanting to talk for a long time and it's suffocating me to death."

"Let's get on the boat first."

“There are so many of them, you can’t see the end at a glance, they are so densely packed.”

"Are you talking about sea urchin or hairtail fish?"

A Guang hurriedly swam along and said, "They are all there. Sea urchins are also densely packed, as are hairtails. I just don't know how long and deep the trench is. Anyway, the light is not good down there, so I can see them all."

"tmd, it turns out that the bottom of the sea is like this, there is everything underneath..."

"There were fishes swimming right by me just now. I poked the fish with the iron claw in my hand, which scared it so much that it spit several bubbles and ran away with its swaying fish tail."

"If I had known I had listened to them last year, I would have come out to join in the fun..."

"Dongzi, what should I do with those hairtail fish? There are so many of them, but I can't put the net there..."

Aguang followed him and leaned towards the side of the boat, chattering endlessly. The scene under the sea just now really shocked him. If he hadn't been unable to speak, he wouldn't have held it in until now.

Ye Yaodong climbed up first, and then said: "You have to use fishing, not fishing nets, you have to use long lines. If you go back in the afternoon, buy nylon ropes and hooks quickly, and ask the locals to make them overnight. They will be done tonight."

, so as not to delay tomorrow’s fishing.”

After saying that, he patted his thigh again, "Who knew this thing could come in handy, otherwise I would have brought it here."

"Who would have thought that longline fishing takes up so much space, and we only take it out when we are too full. Then we will go back early in the afternoon and buy ropes to make fishing lines."

"What are you talking about?"

Ye's father gathered around the two of them and listened to their chatter. He didn't understand a single word. He only understood that they regretted not bringing a longline for fishing.

"What longline fishing? Where did the hairtail come from? Can there be hairtail here? You should have to go to the sea farther away and deeper to find it, right?"

Before Ye Yaodong could say anything, Aguang started chattering excitedly about what they had seen and heard at the bottom of the sea. He also made gestures while talking, and his eyes were full of excitement.

Even the boatman next to him was very surprised when he heard this.

"Ah, there are hairtail fish under that trench? We didn't even see them last year."

"There are so many of them, and they are still shining."

"The hairtail fish naturally glows at night, and it also glows when it comes out of the water."

"Is it because there are too many hairtails and it's blocked, so the jellyfish didn't come up, and the sea is sparse today?"

"I just saw a few heads popping up a while ago..."

"No, it's just that the peak season hasn't arrived yet, so we have to wait a few more days, but we just happened to catch a wave of hairtails during these few days of waiting. It is estimated that after the jellyfish appear, the hairtail schools will disappear and move away."

Ye Yaodong listened to what they were talking about and also intervened. His hands were not idle either. The sea urchins in the two net pockets he had just dug were still at the bottom and had not been collected yet. He called the two of them over to help collect them together.

Father Ye marveled, "This trench is amazing, isn't it? Even if there are a large number of jellyfish popping up, there are still dense sea urchins on the rock walls on both sides. Now the jellyfish haven't reached the peak season, but there are actually schools of hairtail fish in it.

It’s amazing.”

"Nature is so magical. Don't think blindly. Which of you will go down? The old one brings the new one. Hurry up and put on your equipment first. I will collect it here right away."

The two packages of sea urchins weighed seventy or eighty pounds in total, and the two packages of A Guang on the other side were about the same amount.

All of them are black and shiny, and the sharp thorns on their heads are like those of hedgehogs. Probably no one has ever been in the water. These sea urchins have never been collected by anyone, so they are densely packed underneath. All of them are big and fat, and every one of them has it.

They look like three or four.

They took the lead in carrying a few net bags to the edge of the basket, and then dumped them into the basket to free up the net bags so that the second wave of people could go down.

When someone was picking up a sea urchin that fell on the deck, he was accidentally pricked by the thorns on it, which caused bleeding. However, he did not panic and just stood aside and peed on his hand.

Because some of the spines on individual sea urchins contain neurotoxins, it doesn’t matter if it’s not serious, but it’s best to flush it with urine so that it will heal immediately.

Ye Yaodong also warned them when they went into the water, "The newcomers should get used to it for the first time. Some of you went into the water last year. Take care of them more and take them down slowly. After you have experienced it once or twice, you will be able to get used to it later."

alright."

"Know."

"Warm up first. If you feel uncomfortable physically or mentally, come up immediately. Don't force it."

"OK."

During their activities, he said a few more words, mainly for the newcomers to listen to. He said it once now and will not say it again later.

After the second wave of people entered the water, he asked others, "Are there many jellyfish that came up just now?"

"About six or seven, they were scattered. Our ship didn't dare to move. The Harvest accidentally caught two of them, and the others were salvaged by small boats."

"Ah...there's someone else showing up over there..."
