Chapter 313： Deep Sea "Dragon King"

Chapter 313 Deep Sea "Dragon King"

The long-lost hunt made Chu Mingcheng a little excited.

He put on a diving suit, put on a headlamp, and held a wooden speargun with a 1.2-meter ballistic. He came to the rear deck and jumped into the water directly.

I wear a headlamp because the tuna is at the bottom of more than 200 meters, where the light cannot shine and it will appear very dark.

Chu Mingcheng's naked eyes can't see the dark underwater world clearly.

The diving watch turned on the diving mode, and he swam directly in the direction of the tuna.

At the bottom of more than two hundred meters, the water pressure is not that strong, so he didn't take off his watch.

After a while, Chu Mingcheng came to the underwater world.

There is no accident at the bottom of the water, there is only a piece of sand.

Occasionally, some underwater plants can be seen, making this water area not look so desolate.

There are not many fishes on this bottom of the water, only a few can be seen occasionally, but there are many small spider crabs.

Chu Mingcheng kept zooming in on the map of bluefin tuna, observing the swimming track of the tuna, so he easily found two tuna swimming together.

They are preying on small spider crabs, eating one child at a time.

The shell that the spider crab is proud of can't resist the bite force of the tuna at all. It can be crushed in one bite, and the spider crab can be swallowed in two or three bites, leaving only a few crab legs that fall.

Chu Mingcheng is not interested in this kind of small spider crab, and he has already caught it to increase the experience value of the aquatic illustration book, so he quickly set his sights on tuna.

The size of these two bluefin tunas are both over two meters in size.

But only one is a bit fatter, and the fat content of the other is probably average, so the quality is not good at first glance.

Pigs can be killed when they are fat, and those who are lean and have little meat must continue to be raised. The same is true for fish.

Chu Mingcheng loaded the speargun, and then quickly approached the tuna that was preying.

His size didn't stress the tuna as they didn't panic at all when approached.

It’s right to think about it. Tuna itself is the overlord of the ocean, and there are not many marine creatures that can be dangerous to them.

Therefore, strange creatures like humans cannot bring them fear.

This also caused the tuna to not move fast, which made it easier for Chu Mingcheng to hunt.

After approaching, he raised his speargun to aim, and decisively pressed the trigger when he reached a distance of about five meters.

The fish arrow shot out with a "swish", hitting the fatter bluefin tuna.

The location of the shot is very good, a little above the pectoral fin, which is considered a serious injury.

The sudden attack scared away another much thinner bluefin tuna, and Chu Mingcheng was amazed by the speed of the instant burst.

Because he just blinked his eyes and lost track of the tuna, not even the tail.

No wonder when fishing, when the tuna bursts out, it can pull the fishing line hundreds of meters in a short time.

However, the bluefin tuna that will be hit by the fish arrow is also struggling to escape desperately, and the strength can directly drag Chu Mingcheng away.

Of course, this is also the result of his not exerting too much force, in order to avoid the necrosis of the surrounding fish meat due to the expansion of the wound, which will affect the value of the tuna.

This bluefin tuna has been seriously injured and cannot run very far at all.

The other bluefin tuna was not the target of Chu Mingcheng either, so he just pulled the fishing line like this, slowly consuming its energy.

Only five or six minutes later, the tuna slowed down due to serious injuries.

Maybe because of poor breathing, it instinctively began to swim upstream.

Seeing that the time had come, Chu Mingcheng swam to the back of the tuna, took out his diving knife and stabbed it hard into its head.

The tuna shook like a conditioned reflex, and swung its tail vigorously to swim, making the final struggle.

Chu Mingcheng grabbed the pectoral fin of the fish with one hand and the dagger with the other, and then he rode the tuna slowly to the middle layer of the water.

Reaching this position, the tuna completely lost its strength, dying and no longer moving.

So it became Chu Mingcheng dragged the fish and continued to swim to the surface, and then returned to the Poseidon.

It only took seventeen minutes from the change dive to the fish hauling back.

Then Chu Mingcheng took the ruler and measured it, the length was two meters three two.

After he bled and removed the internal organs, the tuna still weighed 243 catties, which is a very good weight.

Sure enough, for him, fishing and hunting are far more efficient than fishing.

Put the fish into the refrigerated cabin, Chu Mingcheng wiped off the moisture on his body with a towel, and went directly to the driver's cab without changing his clothes, and began to look for the second hunting spot.

The second hunting location is five bigeye tuna, which is exactly the same as the number requested by the customer.

But since Chu Mingcheng chose fishing and hunting, he would definitely choose the next product.

Of the five bigeye tunas, only two looked fatter, weighing more than two hundred and seventy catties.

Even with the help of cheats, it still takes a lot of time for Chu Mingcheng to select nine tunas of good quality.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, he finally got the eighth tuna, and finally there was only one bluefin tuna left.

All the tuna hunted today are only more than 200 catties and no more than 350 catties.

Although the quality is very good, it is obviously a bit reluctant to do business for Wei Jiaguo.

According to the character of the opponent, only a real Big Mac can satisfy him.

Chu Mingcheng set a small goal, hunting for more than 500 catties.

But bluefin tuna of this weight is rare, even if there is a map plug-in, it depends on luck to encounter it.

He has visited almost all the tuna in the current range. Going to a farther place not only takes a long time, but also deviates from the channel.

Chu Mingcheng saw that there were some bluefin tuna on the route to the east of Baodao, so he simply ended today’s hunting, went back to take a bath, and then continued to start the Poseidon to head east.

Called Jiang Luoluo, chatted with Chen Yang and Zhang Wei in the group, and finally researched the information about the sunken ship, and the time came to more than two o'clock in the night.

At this time, he has come to the east of Treasure Island, and the next journey only needs to go all the way north.

Chu Mingcheng found a place with a water depth of about 150 meters, and put the crab pots and shrimp pots down.

There are a lot of seafood that he has never seen in the east of Baodao, so he must try his luck.

After finishing the work, stop the boat and turn off the fire, and go back to sleep.

Chu Mingcheng naturally woke up at eight o'clock the next morning.

After washing up and eating breakfast, he first started the Poseidon to collect the crab pots and shrimp pots.

Crab cages are normal air force, and there is no gain.

The shrimp cage accidentally caught a kind of shrimp that looked delicious, which is the oriental prawn.

This shrimp is only found in Baodao in China, but it is not a rare species. It belongs to the shrimp that is often caught by deep-sea trawler.

The amount he caught was not much, and the five shrimp cages totaled more than 30 catties.

Picked out the very small ones, and the remaining Chu Mingcheng deliberately separated a small space from the living water tank and poured all the shrimps into it.

Then he used a small fishing net to fish out the fish and shrimp that were lying flat due to hypoxia.

The two grouper fish were not active enough, so they were fished out and put into the refrigerated cabin.

The prawns and prawns together weighed about three catties. Chu Mingcheng just got a little greedy, so he simply took it to the kitchen and started making raw pickled poison.

The seasonings on his boat are definitely sufficient. He often catches a lot of shrimps and crabs when he goes out to sea. Both he and Jiang Luoluo like the raw pickles, so he prepares the main seasonings for the raw pickles in a whole box. Anyway, he is not afraid of expiration .

Put the processed shrimp in the sauce, sprinkle a handful of coriander, and sprinkle a handful of millet pepper, perfect.

Cover the lid, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, and you can eat it at noon.

Subsequently, Chu Mingcheng opened the bluefin tuna map as usual, checked the location distribution of the tuna, and prepared to find a fish that met the requirements of Weijiaguo.

Soon, he found a suitable target and sailed there.

"Huh~"

Suddenly, he let out a light hey, expressing his strangeness.

Chu Mingcheng discovered the strangeness of this bluefin tuna from the fish finder.

Generally, the waters where bluefin tunas are active are basically within 300 meters from the surface to the bottom.

Most of the time, they will not go to the bottom of the water for food. Only when they can’t find food, they will go to the bottom of the water to try their luck to see if there are any crab shells to eat.

But at this moment, there is actually a bluefin tuna moving at the bottom of the water at a depth of 735 meters.

Bluefin tuna can theoretically dive to nearly a kilometer of water, but that only happens very rarely.

There is not enough food in the deep sea, and they basically don't go there.

However, this bluefin tuna successfully aroused his interest. The fish can dive so deep, which also shows that its size may be relatively large. Generally, smaller fish do not like to go to the deep sea and cannot bear the pressure.

Chu Mingcheng went to change into the diving suit immediately after stopping the boat, and put on the charged headlamp.

Fearing that the water pressure would damage the headlights, he also brought a flashlight for backup.

Of course, he took off his watch, and he couldn't lose his way with the external map.

After everything was ready, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water with the speargun. He first loaded the speargun on the surface of the water, and then he quickly dived.

It was more than 700 meters deep, and it took him ten minutes to reach the bottom.

He has stayed at this depth before and caught a lot of killer crabs, so there is no problem in moving.

Chu Mingcheng first observed the surrounding situation, the surrounding area was pitch black, and the terrain could only be seen clearly where the light fell.

There is no difference in the bottom of the water, but it looks more desolate, and there are even fewer aquatic plants.

Occasionally, the remains of some marine life can be found, which look as if they have been buried underwater for a long time.

Chu Mingcheng zoomed in on the map to see where the tuna was, and then quickly approached it with a speargun.

The tuna didn't seem to be looking for food. It was swimming faster, and it took him more than ten minutes to catch up.

When he saw the tuna in front of him, Chu Mingcheng looked stunned, and his heart beat a little faster.

A huge tuna that definitely exceeded three meters appeared in front of him, and that big torpedo-like body directly demonstrated the value of this fish.

This fish is much bigger than the bluefin tuna he sold for 700,000 yuan in Modu, and the weight is likely to exceed 700 catties.

If this is auctioned in Shanghai, it will definitely win the title of Fish King of the Year!

Her own small coffers are currently less than half a million, but now she can add another wave of thickness.

Chu Mingcheng swung his legs quickly while holding the speargun, and he came to the side of the tuna in a flash.

The fish is very big, if there is no way to hit the deadly place, waiting will definitely become a protracted battle.

He was the only one going to sea this time, and it was not good for him to be away from the ship for a long time.

So he didn't press the trigger rashly this time, but aimed at the tuna's head for a while, and then pressed it after he was sure of the shot.

The fish arrow was shot out immediately, and according to the trajectory he predicted, it hit the head of the tuna, giving it a fatal blow.

The bluefin tuna in front of me is the absolute overlord of the nearby sea area, and even normal-sized sharks dare not mess with it.

Originally, it didn't care about Chu Mingcheng at all, but it was this little neglect that made it pay the price of its life.

Even though the tuna was in pain, it still exploded with the strength of the overlord of the ocean. Chu Mingcheng pulled the fishing line and was dragged away by it in an instant.

It is difficult for him to stop a big fish of at least 700 catties in such an environment at the bottom. In order to ensure the value of the fish, he can only wait for it to stop by itself.

The head was pierced, and the tuna obviously couldn't get very far.

After only three or four minutes, the tuna stopped. Chu Mingcheng stepped forward decisively and took out the bloodletting dagger and gave it two more blows to kill it completely.

However, just as he was about to drag the tuna back to the surface, a strangely huge head suddenly appeared in the light, with eyeballs the size of footballs.

His scalp felt numb all of a sudden, and the pores all over his body stood up.

Because the lights can't even illuminate all the creatures in front of them, this shows that the creatures in front of them are at least ten meters long.

It's just that Chu Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief when the huge creature came close.

He thought he had encountered a huge and dangerous aggressive creature, but he just encountered a huge oarfish.

Le's oarfish may not look so big, but it is really not dangerous to him.

It’s just that the oarfish in front of me is nearly one meter high, which is too exaggerated.

It's a pity that Chu Mingcheng took a straight shot of his thigh. If there is a deep-sea diving camera that can capture this oarfish, then the video he posted will definitely be popular and earn a lot of traffic for nothing!

This deep-sea dragon king seemed to just pass by, and didn't care about the nearby Chu Ming City and the dead bluefin tuna.

It moves like a giant python, and the fins on its back are constantly fluttering in the water, which looks very beautiful, even though he can't see the specific color clearly in such deep waters.

It took more than thirty seconds before it disappeared from Chu Mingcheng's sight and headed north.

The fish meat of the oarfish is not tasty and has little economic value, and it is too big to be preserved, so he has no idea of ​​hunting.

Withdrawing his eyes, Chu Mingcheng grabbed the tuna's fin and began to swim in the direction of the Poseidon.

It took a long time this time, and it took a full half an hour to return to the Poseidon, mainly because it was far away when I first started looking for fish.

Large torpedo-like bluefin tuna weighed an astonishing 753 kilograms after bleeding to remove its internal organs.

If it hadn’t been bled to remove its internal organs, the fish might really have weighed more than 800 catties, no smaller than Atlantic bluefin tuna at all.

But what Chu Mingcheng didn't know was that this bluefin tuna was only about 720 kilograms before he opened the tuna panel.

The remaining dozens of catties are all due to the addition of cheats and sufficient food, which made it successfully break through to its current weight.

The 753 catties of bluefin tuna was 253 catties heavier than he originally planned, and the price difference was at least hundreds of thousands. Chu Mingcheng would be a little worried about whether Wei Jiaguo would want it. .

So he immediately took a photo of the tuna and its weight, and sent the photo to him.

"Grandpa, I was lucky enough to get a king fish today. This fish is a bit big, do you want it, if not, I'll catch you a smaller one."

On the other side, Wei Jiaguo, who went fishing with his friends, picked up a bottle of mineral water and took a sip.

Before he swallowed the water in his mouth, the cell phone on the fish box rang.

He picked it up and took a look, and when he saw the photo sent by Chu Mingcheng, the water in his mouth spurted out immediately.

"噗~~"

Wei Jiaguo's friend looked at him suspiciously: "Old Wei, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, the mineral water is a bit hot."

"???"

Wei Jiaguo didn't explain too much. Bluefin tuna is related to face. Of course, you can't let your friends see it, otherwise there will be one more competitor.

At this moment, he even thought about what kind of car he would use to pull fish.

"I want this bluefin tuna. Regardless of the fat content, I will accept it at a price of two thousand one catty. What do you think?"

Chu Mingcheng raised his eyebrows when he saw the price. At the price of two thousand a catty, Grandpa is indeed a rich and powerful fisherman.

The last auction in Shanghai weighed more than 580 catties, and the average price was only more than 1,200 points.

In terms of quality, there is probably not much difference between the two fish. If they are also auctioned in Shanghai, the final price of this fish may be in the early 1 million. Even if the king fish is big enough, it will be at most 1.2 million.

Wei Jiaguo's premium is too much, Chu Mingcheng is too embarrassed to agree.

Besides, the white jade clam still needs to be carved by his friend. If he doesn’t have face, it will definitely cost a lot to find a master sculptor.

So Chu Mingcheng replied directly: "Grandpa, one million is enough, but this time I found a big white jade clam. I want to ask your friend to carve it. I need your help, Grandpa."

Needing help, it is definitely better to be straightforward than to be coy, and it is more appetizing for an old man like Wei Jiaguo.

After seeing the message that Chu Mingcheng replied, his face immediately showed some interest: "Okay, then Grandpa will take advantage of you. You can take a photo of the white jade clam and send it to me, and I will send it to help you ask. "

Seeing that he agreed, Chu Mingcheng hurried to the cabin, took a photo of the white jade clam wrapped in a quilt to prevent bumps, and sent it to Wei Jiaguo.

When he saw a white jade clam that was almost as wide as a door, his eyes lit up.

"Such a big white jade clam, you are really lucky. By the way, do you sell this white jade clam? Grandpa, I will pay a high price. The family just lacks beautiful and rare decorations."

Sure enough, he fell in love with him, Chu Mingcheng was not surprised by this, but this time he refused.

"Grandpa, my hometown has been flattened and rebuilt, and there are more decorations missing than yours. You can leave this to me!"

Seeing this, Wei Jiaguo pursed his lips regretfully. There is a company team specializing in salvage of white jade clams in China.

However, most of the white jade clams are too small, basically only twenty or thirty centimeters wide.

As big as Chuming City, it is indeed relatively rare, and its integrity is well preserved, and its collection value is very high.

He couldn't do the thing of seizing people's liking, so he could only give up with regret.

After discussing the tuna issue, Chu Mingcheng had completed a task.

Next, he will go north along the route and go to the waters near the Yaeyama Islands. At most, he will catch some deep-sea fish or grouper on the way.

It took two days for Chu Mingcheng to come to the northeast from the southeast of the report. During the period, he also encountered some trawlers from Baodao and fishing boats from other places in China.

Obviously after this year's exercise, fishermen from other provinces dared to come here to fish.

However, after arriving at the demarcation line of the high seas to the west of the Yaeyama Islands, the fishing boats could not touch them again, and I don’t know what happened.

Chu Mingcheng came here just after 8 o'clock at night. It is not a good time to dive in the open sea to find sunken ships at night.

He wasn’t sure if there would be people from other countries secretly boarding the ship at night to rob. At that time, people no longer expected that the ship would be driven away.

And the light at night is very poor, so he doesn't plan to dive at night.

But this does not prevent him from fishing. He has been on the road for the past two days, and he hasn't caught any special fish. He can try his luck tonight.

Chu Mingcheng found a good place to put down the crab pot and shrimp pot as usual, and then went to the nearby waters to fish.

The fish finder shows a group of fish at 60 meters below the water, and there is also a group of fish at 10 meters above the water. It is up to him how to fish.

No particularly large fish was found from the fish finder, so Chu Mingcheng took out the lure rod he had bought before.

Since there are fish schools on the upper layer of the water, he must catch the upper layer first.

Hung up the bait, Chu Mingcheng shook his hand, and gently threw the bait about 20 meters away.

Sink for three seconds, then start reeling in and tap the tip of the rod to keep the lure bouncing.

It was really not that difficult to catch sea fish. The first rod of false bait was only retracted ten meters, and the false bait was swallowed directly when the tip of the rod sank.

It is much less difficult for sea fish to bite the bait than freshwater fish, but Chu Mingcheng still prefers to catch sea fish.

No, the fishing rod is bent into a big bow in an instant. The fish has a very strong pulling force and a great hand feeling, which is not available in freshwater fish.

The fishing rod seemed overwhelmed, Chu Mingcheng did not dare to use brute force, and used skills after a long absence.

Slightly open the line cup to reduce the pressure on the fishing rod, and then do not rush to take up the line, but start to pull and walk the fish.

After fishing for a long time with a heavy-duty boat rod, he suddenly changed to this kind of lure rod with moderate hardness. Chu Mingcheng only felt that the fishing rod could detect the movement of fish very accurately.

When the fish exerted strength, he would pull it left and right, making it very uncomfortable.

Wait for the fish to rest, he lifts the rod to take up the line.

It took a full ten minutes, and a fish that was nearly 60 centimeters and estimated to weigh about ten kilograms was pulled to the side of the boat.

Looking at the pitch black fish, Chu Mingcheng was a little stunned, it was so ugly.

But after all, it was the fish he caught himself, and he still caught it with a dipping net.

Put it on the deck and observe it carefully. After looking at it for a long time, I feel that this black leather knife, that is, the Si's long-finned black boat, is actually not that ugly. On the contrary, the **** eyes look a bit cute.
