These days, Ye Yuan has nothing to do and has started his life at sea again.
Driving a sampan, we came to an island far away from Yuwan Island. This island is called Nanlin Island.
Fishermen often came here in the past, just because there is a specialty here, which is dog claw snails.
Dog claw snails, also called gooseneck barnacles, are a delicious and expensive shellfish. It looks like a dog's paw.
They usually live in groups, huddled in the crevices of rocks on the seabed, and do not move for many years, relying on microorganisms in the water to grow. It is called the seafood from hell.
For many people who have never eaten a dog claw snail, they are often frightened by its appearance when they see it for the first time.
After eating it, I realized that it was absolutely delicious. Even if it is simply steamed, it is still very sweet and tender.
When eating, pull the rough tube apart and eat it just like eating snails. The bit of meat exposed is only about the size of a peanut, but the umami flavor stays in your mouth for a long time.
Because people over-captured it in the past few years, it is rare to see this thing. Later, this island was contracted to develop tourism. As a result, the developer's funds ran out, leaving an unfinished project on the island. There are very few here. Someone comes over again.
The purpose of Ye Yuan's visit this time was to check his luck and see if he could find dog claw snails. He wanted to get some to breed in the space. Not only was this food valuable, but it was also very delicious. It would also be a good choice for entertaining friends in the future.
Ye Yuan found a sheltered place to stop the boat and entered the sea with a sudden movement. Countless small fish swam by and soon arrived at the reef.
A pair of hands slowly groped along the cracks in the reef, but could not find a dog-claw snail for a long time. I continued to search downwards, and finally found a few dog-claw snails in the deep cracks in the reef.
But the dog claw snails are very small, only 3cm long. It seems that there are no big dog claw snails here anymore. I don’t know if they have been caught or for other reasons.
After searching in this reef for more than an hour, I found about a pound of small claw snail.
Place these dog claw snails into the space and sprinkle the feed. After Ye Yuan's observation, those abalone feeds not only have an effect on abalone, but also some shellfish and snails, but the effect on fish is not obvious.
After going ashore to rest for a while, I found that no one had been to this island for a long time. The dilapidated buildings were covered with various vines, the sand was blown everywhere by the sea breeze, and the grass was as tall as a person.
Ye Yuan drove the boat back and was about to go back. Not far away from the boat, in his perception, the fish below were running away like crazy. Just behind the fish, a 4-meter-long shark was approaching quickly. School of fish.
Sharks are usually social fish, but here, there is only one. I don’t know if it got separated from the shark group, or if it has always been living in this sea.
Because Ye Yuan had the magical elixir, he wanted to tame a shark as a pet. Because there were outsiders around him these few times he went to sea, this plan has never been realized.
We happened to meet here this time, so of course we can’t miss it. Ye Yuan jumped into the water.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t afraid. After all, what appeared in front of me was a 4-meter-long shark, which was called the “ocean killer” by many people.
His biggest reliance is space. When he is threatened, he can directly bring the shark into the space. Once he reaches the space, it is his own territory.
Ye Yuan entered the sea and swam towards the shark quickly. From a distance, he couldn't see the species of the shark clearly. Only when he got closer did he see clearly that it was a saw shark.
Saw shark: It is a type of shark. It has a long mouth with sharp teeth on both sides, which is used to attack prey, similar to a saw. There are two fleshy tentacles above the mouth, which are used to detect prey.
Saw sharks generally live 40 meters below the sea and feed on benthic organisms and fish.
Swimming in front of the saw shark, this was Ye Yuan's first time to come into contact with a shark at such a close distance.
The Saw Shark didn't stop at all. When he saw Ye Yuan rushing towards him with a strong current, Ye Yuan quickly hid aside.
Peng~! With a loud sound, the saw shark's long mouth hit the sea sand. The soft sea sand did not cause any harm to it, but the large splash of sea sand showed how strong the impact was.
The view in the water was not very clear to begin with, but now the sea sand splashed up, muddying the sea water.
Ye Yuan swam out of the water as fast as he could, with the saw shark chasing after him.
While dodging the saw shark's attacks again and again, I found that my flexibility in the water was much stronger.
Slowly, one person and one shark entangled in the sea for more than ten minutes. At this time, the saw shark was no longer as ferocious as it was at the beginning, and each impact was not as fast.
Ye Yuan saw that the time was almost up. He took advantage of the opportunity of passing by the Saw Shark and directly brought the Saw Shark into the space.
Entering the space, the Saw Shark was restrained in the sea water and could not move. Ye Yuan took out the Kailing Pill and fed it directly into it.
The saw shark that ate the elixir was obviously more humane, with its two thin eyes moving as if thinking about something.
Judging from the appearance of Saw Shark, he must have opened his mind, but he has no intention of giving in.
The first two times, one was the big yellow dog that my family had raised since childhood, and the other was Xiao Jin, who I had saved my life from, both of which were naturally close to me.
This time the Saw Shark didn't seem to recognize him. Thinking of the Loyalty Pill in the system mall, he exchanged one and threw it into the Saw Shark's mouth.
After Saw Shark took the pill, his obviously impetuous state disappeared. Slowly removing the restraints on Saw Shark, Saw Shark charged directly at him.
Ye Yuan did not move because nothing in the space could harm him, not to mention that he was just a soul body and had no physical existence.
The saw shark came to Ye Yuan's side and did not attack Ye Yuan. Instead, it stretched out its head to rub Ye Yuan's body. As a result, the saw shark's head went directly through Ye Yuan's body, which scared this big guy. One jump.
Ye Yuan didn't care about this. What he cared about was that this guy seemed to be completely tamed and he just took it back to the sea outside.
Arriving in a familiar environment, the saw shark first swam around, then circled around Ye Yuan, and finally approached it carefully with its head. Ye Yuan stretched out a hand and touched the saw shark's head. The saw shark seemed to be affected. He happily swam around Ye Yuan as if encouraged.
After playing with the saw shark under the sea for a while, Ye Yuan went directly back to the boat. At this time, the saw shark also came to the side of the boat, stretched out its head and continued swimming around the boat.
"I'll call you Little Shark from now on," Ye Yuan said to Saw Shark.
Saw Shark nodded towards Ye Yuan, as if responding to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan drove the boat to Yuwan Island. Saw Shark was following behind the boat. Ye Yuan looked back at Little Shark and said to him:
"You can't follow me. My place is not suitable for you. You can live near the island here first, and I will find a way to resettle you when I have the opportunity."
After listening to Ye Yuan's words, the saw shark first swam a few times beside the boat, and then reluctantly swam towards Nanlin Island. After swimming a few meters, it looked back at Ye Yuan, and then continued swimming like the one being raped. A child abandoned by his parents.
Ye Yuan didn't sail away until he saw it submerging into the sea.
