Chapter 68 Diving to catch fish

It turns out that this is what diving in the ocean feels like.

Chu Mingcheng had done a lot of swimming at the beach before. But being able to dive into the water for at least an hour, clearly observing the underwater scenery, and being with the fish was really a wonderful feeling.

Slowly, he arrived at the same spot where he fished before.

The depth here is no longer seven or eight meters deep like when fishing before. It is now morning and the tide is still at low tide.

Chu Mingcheng swam to the bottom and found several small black snappers hiding among the rocks.

When he saw the terrain here clearly, he suddenly felt that he was not unfair in his previous indifference.

He simply searched in the rock crevice and found the fishhook he had hung on the bottom. It had been deformed, but the lead pendant on the other end was also there.

For a moment, he was dumbfounded. Now that he has the ability to swim freely, will he no longer be afraid of cheating?

But he ignored the fishhooks hanging from the bottom, and it wouldn't be too late to take back the lead weights when the fish were almost gone.

They all dived and caught fish themselves. Chu Mingcheng was not interested in the few small black snappers here. For fishing and hunting, he only wanted to catch big ones.

It had been about twenty minutes since he entered the water, but he didn't feel any suffocation, so he didn't swim up for air, but swam deeper.

The resources in the offshore are really scarce. Chu Mingcheng swam all the way there, not to mention schools of fish, not even a small fish.

As for encountering sharks while diving?

Let’s break through the fishing net array arranged by the fishermen first!

Even if you encounter him with a diving pole, there is no need to be afraid.

You can never encounter a great white shark or tiger shark that is more than five meters tall in the offshore waters!

If this almost impossible situation happens, the worst possible thing to do is feed it.

After swimming slowly for two or three minutes, he found a reef area with a water depth of almost twenty meters, and then Chu Mingcheng swam up to take a breath.

He still didn't feel suffocated, but he would be looking for prey underwater for a long time, so breathing was necessary.

After only exposing his head to take a breath, Chu Mingcheng looked back and was shocked to find that he was almost a hundred meters away.

Although the world swimming record of 100 meters is less than one minute, he swam slowly in the sea and reached a distance of 100 meters from the shore in two or three minutes without spending much energy. This ability to swim freely is really amazing.

.

Turning around, he now tried to dive to the bottom of more than 20 meters of water.

I had been swimming in water depths of three to four meters before and had no physical discomfort.

Now, if he dives to more than 20 meters and does not suffer from dizziness, ear discomfort or other symptoms, it means that he can indeed enjoy fishing and hunting.

Chu Mingcheng slowly began to dive into the water, and soon reached a depth of ten meters.

Then he continued to slow down and feel his situation carefully.

So far, I don't feel any discomfort.

Continue deeper, 11 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters, 24 meters.

He stopped when his hand directly touched the rock at the bottom.

It took him about a minute to go from ten meters to twenty-four meters.

He could already feel the slight pressure exerted on him by the surrounding water, but this pressure would not affect him at all and could even be ignored.

Chu Mingcheng felt that he could get a four-star freediving certificate now, and he would have no problem diving to 70 meters.

He took off the noose he was wearing and began to search for prey on the seabed formed by the reef and sand.

Here, Chu Mingcheng could occasionally see some big fish swimming slowly not far away from him. Unfortunately, without a spear gun, he could not catch these fish.

The line of sight directly under the water was not very good, so he gained some height again and was about two meters away from the bottom.

Then swing your legs to search for fish hiding in some potholes and crevices.

After swimming about five meters, he finally found a prey weighing at least three kilograms on the side of a large reef. It was a black sea bream.

Chu Mingcheng slowly sank to the bottom, and then slowly approached from behind it.

Then he slowly stretched out the lasso pole and passed through the tail of the black sea bream bit by bit. At this moment, he instantly pulled out the switch.

"Hey~"

The lasso was suddenly locked, and the black sea bream was startled and swung its tail desperately to escape.

Chu Mingcheng was afraid that the tail wouldn't be loosened if it wasn't tight enough, so he quickly used his left hand to hold down its body from the side.

The black sea bream's dorsal fins were all wide open to threaten it, but unfortunately it could only be pressed against the rocks and unable to break free.

Chu Mingcheng released the noose rod with his right hand, then took out the live fish buckle and opened it, passed it through the fish's gills and buckled it again.

After letting go, the black sea bream cannot escape no matter how hard it struggles, unless it loses its head.

Basically, the trapped fish will not move around, because it is fine if it does not move, but it will hurt when it moves!

After successfully acquiring a black snapper weighing about three kilograms, Chu Mingcheng continued to look for his next prey.

He has a total of twelve buttons, try to button them up as much as possible.

Perhaps it was because the fish were moving around during the day, so he searched for another seven or eight minutes before he found the second target.

A yellowfin seabream weighing about two kilograms was also a fish species he had never caught so far.

But this yellowfin seabream was not resting. When he approached and stretched out the lasso, it flicked its tail and ran away immediately.

emmm

As expected, it is not that easy to dive and catch fish without a speargun. Even if he swims very fast in the sea, it is impossible to catch up with him.

Chu Mingcheng suddenly remembered what he had never bought before. It was a harpoon!

In the situation just now, it might be possible to use a harpoon.

Anyway, the price is the same for live or dead fish as long as they are freshly caught from the wild.

After all, there are no wild fish on the market. If there are, then you should pay attention.

At this time, a small group of sea bass with an average length of 60 to 70 centimeters swam past him very arrogantly. The speed was so slow that Chu Mingcheng was extremely envious.

It's like a cash truck passing by you, but you don't have an AK to ask the other party to stop.

After watching Sea Bass leave, Chu Mingcheng turned around and found that a surprise had arrived at his door.

A cute blue lobster slowly crawled in front of him into a rock crevice below. He couldn't catch the fish, but the lobster was still easy to catch.

Chu Mingcheng immediately swam down and looked down at the situation.

I saw this blue lobster curled up in the gap, with its tentacles exposed as if it was observing something.

Chu Mingcheng reached out and touched it.

Uncaught, the lobster sprang out from another exit and swam away quickly.

Chu Mingcheng immediately chased after him, swinging his legs so fast that he was able to keep up.

The lobster runs very fast, but there is a pause, and it will not keep running in the water, but will quickly hide in other rock crevices.

And Chu Mingcheng, who was swimming at full speed, was really no joke, and he never let the lobster disappear from his sight.

When the lobster panicked and hid in a new rock crevice, there was no other exit this time and he was successfully caught.

A green lobster weighing seven to eight taels was not bad, and he put it into the small net bag he carried with him.

This small net bag was originally reserved for scallops, conches, large oysters and the like that I encountered. It can also be used to temporarily store lobsters.

Originally there was an update today, but I made some minor changes to the subsequent chapters, so I will update them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, which is Wednesday.

For the sake of free updates of new books by new authors, I beg you not to keep reading.

The following follow-up reading is more important than the early stage. Whether it can be put on the shelf and have good results for the first order depends on everyone's efforts.

I beg you all, Yanzu, to support Xiao Meng Xin, so that Xiao Meng Xin will be more motivated for his next creation.
Chapter completed!
