Chapter 588: Blessed Shell

Hai Tide Islands, Anaconda Island.

In another world, the harvest month is the harvest season, and Haimeng Island has a special harvest.

"José, Herrera, you two remember, once you encounter turbulence, hit the wire rope immediately, and we will immediately activate the magic motive and pull you up... Don’t try to be aggressive, it’s quite dangerous to be hit by the turbulence Thing..."

On a hundred-ton magic fishing boat floating on the sea, the captain said to the two divers with a serious face.

A diver took the diving 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 metal ring around his wrist to the captain.

"Look, this is my homemade gadget. I call it a ‘guard ring’. If there is turbulence, I will hit the steel cable with the warning ring because the sound of metal hitting is more pronounced..."

Brody blinked and immediately understood the benefits.

Fix the warning ring directly on your arm, and you can call the police immediately after encountering turbulence, without wasting time to take metal objects such as knives.

Brody nodded and praised:

"José, this is a good way. I will suggest to the Fisheries Department to make improvements to all diving suits. If the suggestions are adopted, you will get a bonus..."

"Well, I hope so. If there is a bonus, I invite you to go to the'Haichao Hotel' to have a good meal."

Jose smiled "haha", put on his helmet, and put the magic underwater propeller behind his back, greeted her companion Herrera, and the two jumped into the rather cold water together.

"Puff!"

"Puff!"

A lot of water splashed on the sea, the winch erected on the deck quickly spun, and the steel cable wrapped around the winch quickly sank underwater.

Under the water, a stream of water spouted from the jet hole of the propeller, pushing Jose's body to the bottom of the sea.

The weather today is not too good. The sky is covered by a layer of cloudy clouds, and the visibility in the water has also been greatly reduced. When he dived to a depth of more than 50 meters, the light had been significantly dimmed.

The deeper seabed was shrouded in darkness, and there seemed to be evil monsters in the darkness about to move, choosing people to eat.

This made Jose unconsciously produce a kind of fear, and there was an urge to turn around and withdraw in his heart.

However, he knew that this was just scaring himself.

Turbulence has come to this sea area, fish schools have already retreated into the deep sea, and predators who feed on marine fish have also retreated. The dangerous sea beasts that have entrenched near the sea python island in the past have all gone.

How can you encounter monsters?

The facts proved his judgment.

Until Jose reached the seabed more than 120 meters deep, he didn't see anything, only sea plants in various shapes and shapes, swaying with the current.

He exhaled, and a string of bubbles "gurgled" from the helmet and floated towards the sea.

Jose turned off the magic underwater propeller, stroked the water with his limbs, and slowly approached the seabed covered with reefs.

Through the transparent lens on the helmet, he can clearly see that there are many black holes in the reef group. They are of different sizes. The big holes are thicker than the waist of an adult male, and the big holes are only the calf thickness.

Jose understands that they are not naturally formed holes.

This is the nest of the "Sea Anaconda".

Sea pythons are highly venomous sea beasts, they are amazing in size and powerful.

Adult sea pythons are generally more than 15 meters long, and some large ones are even more than 25 meters long. The body length of small sea pythons is often between 5-8 meters, which is not too small.

When sea pythons hunt, they usually wrap their bodies around their prey, then bite the opponent, and inject neurotoxins in their teeth into the prey to quickly kill the prey.

In the non-storm season, there are astonishingly many sea pythons that live here. Even according to the roughest estimate, the total number is not less than 200,000. They are the real masters of this island.

This is exactly why this island got its name "Halloween Island".

However, the sea python meat was terribly unpalatable, with a strong astringent taste, and even the dogs of the sea tide collar would not be willing to eat it.

This allowed the sea anaconda to escape from the official fishing fleet of Hai Chao Ling.

After all, the strength of sea pythons is only at the Awakening level at most, and their IQ is a fatal flaw. In front of the metal fishing nets of fishing boats, they are simply not enough to see.

As long as the bait is hung in the fishing net, the stupid sea python will throw itself into the trap and let humans kill it.

The tide collar with a large amount of magic equipment is the top predator in this sea area.

In contrast, another kind of sea animal, sea loach, which is very similar to sea pythons, has tender meat and is extremely popular. Unfortunately, it has been targeted by the terrible sea tidal leader.

In addition, the "Salt and Pepper Sea Loach Section" is also a necessary "traditional" food for the residents of the Haichao Territory during picnics. In the previous picnic trend, the civilians have a great demand for the sea loach meat.

In half a month's time, nearly a hundred large loach fell into the clutches of the clutch every day, were peeled and dismembered, and were sent to the human table.

Although there are a large number of sea loaches near the sea loach island, they cannot support this industrialized fishing method. The Fisheries Department is already considering formulating a "quota system" to restrict excessive fishing.

Unless a new loach habitat is discovered, this system must be implemented from next year.

At that time, when privately fishing loach, you must spend a certain amount of money to purchase a "fishing license" from the Fisheries Department, otherwise you will be punished and ruined.

...

Jose was cruising among the reefs for a while, his eyes fixed on a dark shadow hidden in the cracks.

The reefs around it are covered with water and weeds. If you don’t pay attention, you can easily miss it.

He set his flippers and approached the shadow 3-4 meters away.

After taking a few glances, Jose opened his eyes wide, and his mouth showed an extremely excited smile.

Oh my god!

I seem to have found something incredible.

He took a deep breath, calmed his excitement, and removed a small high-strength metal net from his belt. When he was about to swim over, he suddenly saw a flower-like plant hidden in the shadow between the rocks.

Its diameter is close to 2 meters. The eight-petal black "petals" are weakly collapsed on the reef. The edges of the "petals" are faintly visible with serrations, and the center of the "petals" has a large slender "stamen".

Jose's gaze condensed, he took a long trident from his back, and poked it vigorously at the "stamen".

"boom!"

Hit the bullseye.

The "flower" came alive in an instant, and the "stamen" danced quickly, firmly wrapped around the trident, and the eight "petals" suddenly closed, trying to wrap the trident.

The craziness and ferociousness of this moment made José shocked.

This is the terrible "knife-saw poison sunflower", a carnivore disguised as a flower.

The petals are actually the tentacles of the sawdust sunflower, and the surface is covered with fine and hard barbs.

The stamen is another kind of tentacles with different functions. There are long slender spikes on the surface. After they penetrate into the prey, they will secrete a lot of toxins, or digestive juices, so that the poison sunflower can absorb nutrients.

This toxin is so corrosive that it can melt even bones.

If Jose hurriedly approached and accidentally got entangled in the poison sunflower with a knife, the Nima rubber diving suit on his body would definitely not stop the toxins.

This is the case in the ocean of another world. Danger is always everywhere, and sometimes a negligence will cause death and scum.

Even if the sea monsters leave, it doesn't mean that they will be able to make waves.

However, the poison sunflower is a soft creature, and its defense power is low. Jose took the trident and smashed it a few times, turning it into a soft paste.

...

After the obstacle was removed, Jose swam to the dark shadow.

Using the trident to push the seaweed away, he saw the true face of the black shadow, and his heart suddenly "banged".

Master is going to make a fortune!

This is a black shell with a fan-shaped appearance, more than 2 meters in length. The surface of the shell is full of spherical protrusions, which looks quite weird.

At this moment, the shell seemed to feel something, the originally slightly opened mouth was closed extremely tightly, without a trace of gap.

But it can't go anywhere.

Because one end of the shell is firmly attached to the huge reef, it has become a part of the reef, even if it is cut with a knife, it is difficult to get it off.

Jose carefully covered the shell with a metal mesh, and then hung the hook of the metal mesh to the steel cable, and then he tapped the steel cable.

"Boom! Boom!"

The dull percussions spread across the seabed.

After a few seconds, the steel cable was suddenly stretched straight, pulling Jose up to the surface of the sea.

"Crack...crack..."

The reef shook a few times, and the shell could not withstand the huge force from the metal net. Several cracks appeared in the part connecting the reef, and then they were completely separated and lifted up by steel cables.

The structure of the magic motive + winch can easily drag dozens of tons of heavy objects, and the shells that cannot be opened by humans are a piece of cake in front of the magic machinery.

"Wow..."

As soon as Jose got out of the water, he saw several faces full of concern, and the voice of Captain Brody reached his ears.

"José, are you okay? How come up so fast?"

Jose spit out his breathing tube, took off his helmet, and exclaimed triumphantly:

"Except for those who are capable, no one in the territory is better than me. How can I be troubled?"

He patted the water surface with great excitement in his voice:

"Hey, what do you see I found?"

The cable continued to rise, pulling the shells out of the water.

"The Blessed Shell!" Captain Brody blurted out, and said in shock, "Good deed, this Blessed Shell is really big..."

This sentence immediately caused a small sensation, and all the sailors crowded in to watch the excitement.

Captain Brody angrily drove the sailors away, personally picked up a magic hand drill, and began to decompose the shells.

The hard shell could not hold the high-speed drill bit, and was easily broken, revealing the white and jade shell meat.

Brody put down the hand drill and replaced it with a sharp knife. He cut through the shellfish with a few "swishes" and turned to find a large milky white meat sac.

The fishing boat quieted down, and everyone stared at the meat sac closely.

Brody's movements slowed down. Like a treasure, he first used the tip of a knife to make a breach in the meat sac, and then pulled the edge of the breach with his fingers, carefully tearing open the meat sac, lest he hurt the inside. thing.

The gap got bigger and bigger, revealing a shiny black bead, the size of a thumb, with a crystal clear texture, just like the finest jewellery, it looks very beautiful.

Then comes the second...

The third...

The fourth...

A sailor couldn't help groaning, and said in an extremely enviable tone:

"My God, there are so many'Pearls of God's Blessing', and they are so big...José, you are going to make a fortune, and the Government Affairs Office will definitely give you a generous bonus..."

After the meat sac was fully opened, Brody found a total of seven beads of God's Blessing, 5 of which were large and 2 small.

The atmosphere on the fishing boat was very warm, and Jose almost burst into laughter.

...

In another world, the "Pearl of Gods Blessing" is known as "the generous gift of gods to mankind", and it only exists in the body of the "Blessed Shells".

It has several aliases, such as "Pearl of Holy Blessing", "Pearl of Holy Spirit", and-"Pearl of Holy Doctor", "Pearl of Death and Redemption".

That's right, the role of the Pearl of God's Blessing is to treat diseases.

For certain malignant diseases, its therapeutic effect is extremely strong, and the effect is immediate. The patient was still very sick in bed yesterday, and will be able to get up and walk tomorrow.

This is like taking the patient's life back from the arms of the **** of death abruptly. It is magical to the extreme.

This is why many people like to call it the "Pearl of Death Redemption".

The Pearl of God's Blessing has a peculiar characteristic, that is, the bigger the head, the better the treatment effect and the more diseases it can cure.

Because of this, it is also called the "natural potion".

However, the number of Blessed Shells is quite rare, and most of the found Blessed Beads are only as big as the tip of a little finger, and can only treat the most common diseases, such as colds, fever, headaches and brain fever.

Its use is simple and convenient. Grind a little powder from the surface of the Pearl of God's Blessing and swallow it with water.

Although the curable disease is effective, the Little Pearl of God's Blessing is also very valuable, one can sell for a high price of 4-5 Kinnars.

The Great Blessing Pearl in Brody's hand is extremely rare, and the price of each one is definitely not less than 1,000 Kinnars, which is extremely valuable.

In other words, even if Jose found the blessed shell, even if he shouted the super high price of 10,000 Kinnars, there would definitely be a lot of people rushing to buy it.

That's why the sailor said to him, "The Government Affairs Office will definitely give you a generous bonus."

...

The Blessed Shell is actually a shellfish that Renault, the "big foodie", found inadvertently when he was searching for food.

Before that, no one knew that such precious shellfish were produced around Haimeng Island.

This is normal. Terrible sea pythons can be seen everywhere on Sea Anaconda Island. The local indigenous people will come here to wander when they are tired of their lives. During the storm season, going out to sea is simply life-killing, and no one will come.

Only Renault, a big figure standing at the top of the food chain, is qualified to roam the dangerous alien world everywhere.

The shellfish meat of the Blessed Shell is very delicious. It can be regarded as the top ingredient. He is full of praise. He also specially grabbed one and planned to bring it to Angela to taste it.

As a result, with this taste, I tasted the amazing discovery of "The Pearl of Blessing".

Since then, Haimeng Island has been designated as the lord's private territory and has been strictly protected.

Renault also personally ordered that no one can kill sea pythons without permission.

Because he suspects that the sea python is the key to the existence of the blessed shellfish population.

Without the protection of sea pythons, I am afraid that the Blessed Shell would have been killed by predators long ago.

Renault has carefully surveyed the number of Blessed Shells. According to his estimation, the number of Blessed Shells living here is probably between 1000-2000, which is not a large number.

In order to use resources rationally, he made the following provisions:

First, salvage can only be carried out during the harvest month each year.

Second, the salvage limit shall not exceed 100.

Third, it must be purely manual salvage to avoid damage to the habitat as much as possible.

This year's harvest month is the first year that the Fisheries Department salvaged the gods and shells.

In order to implement the Lord's will, the Fisheries Department specially mobilized a group of sailors with the best water in the territory to form this special salvage team.

...

Captain Brody used a delicate metal box to carefully place the 7 Orbs of Divine Blessing, and then issued a series of commands:

"Robest, Jarod, you put the Blessed Shell in the freezer compartment. This is an advanced ingredient dedicated to Lord Lord. Be careful..."

"Chapman, you go call Herrera underwater, our mission has been overfulfilled, we don't need to look for it again today..."

"Everyone, pack up and get ready to return!"

The sailors responded with excitement, and the fishing boat suddenly became busy.

Regarding the Pearl of God's Blessing in Captain Brody's arms, it's not that everyone has never felt strange, but no one dared to act.

One piece of this thing is worth 1,000 kinnals, who is not greedy?

But this is the personal property of the lord, and it is so valuable, and the consequences of reaching out indiscriminately are too serious.

Once exposed, it will be difficult for the person involved to die happily, and the whole family will suffer miserably, and there is no hope of coming out of the forced labor camp in this life.

Besides, who knows if there are any hidden lines of the ICAC on the fishing boats?
