Because of Yu Hongbo's illness, Ma Hua became Ye Yuan's designated boatswain. He also didn't expect that he would encounter such a situation when he led a team for the first time in his life.
For the safety of the crew, he also put away his usual cheerful smile. He said with a serious face.
Ye Yuan stood outside the crowd and was shocked when he heard Ma Hua's voice. If it is really a venomous sea snake, then things could be very serious if you are not careful.
Ye Yuan pushed through the crowd: "Stand back, let me take a look!" When everyone saw Ye Yuan coming, they quickly gave up their positions, and Ye Yuan easily reached the front.
Ma Hua played the role of boatswain very well. At this moment, he was holding a wooden stick and looking at the creature that looked like a sea snake.
When he saw Ye Yuan coming over, he didn't forget to remind him: "Boss, be careful. I heard that the more beautiful these creatures are, the more poisonous they are!" After saying that, Ma Hua was still a little worried.
So he shouted: "Mouse, go get the harpoon!" After hearing Ma Hua's instructions, Wu Hao quickly ran to the tool cabin.
No matter how everyone usually jokes, now that Ye Yuan has designated Ma Hua as the temporary boatswain.
Then the crew must follow Ma Hua's orders. So when Wu Hao heard Ma Hua say he wanted a harpoon, he went ahead without thinking.
Even Ye Yuan on the side was extremely depressed. He really couldn't laugh or cry at this moment. A moray eel could actually make his crew to the point of being on the verge of defeat.
Ye Yuan angrily gave Ma Hua, who was still looking at Moray Eel, a shudder: "I usually tell you to read more books, but you just don't listen. This is not a sea snake at all!"
"Not a sea snake?" Ma Hua repeated Ye Yuan's words doubtfully. Ye Yuan said no more but looked at the colorful moray eel carefully, a creature that looked like a sea snake.
This is a colorful eel, also known as the large-mouthed eel, blue-body eel, and a species of fish belonging to the genus Eelidae.
Also known as colorful eels and tube-nosed eels. It is native to the western Pacific and is now distributed in the coral reef waters of the western Pacific and China Bay Province. It is a tropical eel.
Its body is slender and slightly flattened, and its body length can reach more than 1 meter. The colorful eel has no scales, smooth skin, well-developed dorsal and anal fins connected to the tail fin, and no pectoral and pelvic fins.
It is a very strange sea creature. They will morph into male and female, and their body color will also change as their body length increases.
The colorful eel's body is black when it is young. When it reaches 50 centimeters, it becomes a male and its body turns blue.
When it reaches 90 centimeters, its body turns yellow and it becomes a female fish. They usually like to hide in caves.
Whenever there is a current that brings a large amount of plankton, they will stretch out their bodies to peck at it. When swimming in the sea, they look like flying ribbons, hence the name colorful eels.
It is precisely because it looks so beautiful when swimming in the water. It has also become a very popular ornamental fish in the ornamental fish market in recent years.
"Is this an eel?" Ma Hua asked in surprise after hearing Ye Yuan's introduction. Ye Yuan nodded.
"But eels don't look like this, do they?" Ma Hua murmured to himself.
"You don't know much. There is so much marine information on the ship. You don't even bother to study hard. You just hold your phone every day. What can you know?" Ye Yuan scolded with a smile.
But when Ye Yuan said this again, his heart was also very weak. Not to mention Ma Hua, even he only remembered the information about the colorful eel long after he saw the colorful eel.
No way, this thing was not included in the textbooks when I was in school. The reason why there isn't is because on Blue Star, the positioning of the colorful eel is still in the debate stage.
Therefore, there is very little introduction about colorful eels in the textbooks. As we all know, many living things have their own inherent habits.
For example, nocturnal nature, gregarious nature, etc. The qualitative aspect of the colorful eel is highly controversial among biologists.
Even today no party can convince its opponents. In the past, biologists believed that the colorful eel was a nocturnal creature.
They rest in their burrows during the day and only come out to feed at night. But after field observations by many biologists.
People gradually discovered that there are many colorful eels and they also eat during the day. So biologists with different views.
There is endless debate over whether colorful eels are nocturnal creatures. Finally, an authoritative biologist came forward.
Making colorful eels is a qualitative process with no fixed habits. This conclusion is obviously not recognized by most people.
Even today, the debate continues about whether colorful eels are nocturnal creatures. The crew members trusted Ye Yuan's words very much.
When they looked at the colorful eel again, the fear on their faces was gone.
"I've been making trouble for a long time and this is just an ornamental moray eel? You guys still said it was a sea snake. I'm scared to death!" You Zhiyong was the first to stand up and tease Ma Hua.
When he said this, countless people burst into laughter. Only Wu Hao, who had just returned with the harpoon, looked stunned.
I just took out a harpoon, why do I seem to have missed something? Ye Yuan ignored the laughter of the crew members.
He proved his previous statement with practical actions. Ye Yuan stretched out his hand and grasped the colorful eel.
Then he easily put it into the bucket handed over by Shi Xiaoming.
"Boss, is this thing valuable? If it's not, let's steam it for lunch!" Recalling the taste of conger eel meat, Ma Hua began to salivate unknowingly.
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at the foodie, then nodded and said, "The colorful eel is one of the most peculiar creatures in the ocean. In addition, its appearance is very beautiful. Therefore, it is also a very rare ornamental fish."
"Then forget it!" Ma Hua said angrily. He knew it from Ye Yuan's delighted expression.
It's probably impossible for me to eat this colorful eel. Ye Yuan ignored Ma Hua who was acting funny at the side, but said to Shi Xiaoming: "Xiao Ming, take this colorful eel to my cabin, but don't kill it."
"Okay!" Shi Xiaoming agreed readily, and then carefully carried the bucket towards the cabin.
"Boss, are you planning to raise it yourself?" Ma Hua widened his eyes and looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.
You know, no matter what precious ornamental fish they caught, Ye Yuan was not interested in raising them? What happened to the boss today?
Why am I so fond of this colorful eel? Ye Yuan nodded and said without any concealment: "This thing is rare, and such a weird fish, it would be a pity to sell it." Although Ye Yuan said this, what he was thinking was.
If such weird fish are not sent into space to reproduce, wouldn't it be a pity for ourselves?
