Chapter 87 Try Fishing and Hunting

The yacht drove near a small rocky island, leaning on the side of the boat, you can see the clear coral reef not far away.

The water depth under the bottom of the boat is about 20 meters, whether it is the coral reefs in the distance or the bottom of the boat, it is very suitable for fishing and hunting.

Chu Mingcheng did not take off his diving equipment during the free diving training before. Now he fastened the safety rope on his body again, and then went into the water with Lu Zheqiang from the stairs on the back deck.

Coming into the water, Chu Mingcheng swam to the side of the boat, took the speargun from Tong Shuman on the boat, and then swam to the distant coral reef first.

Lu Zheqiang followed behind, holding an underwater camera in his hand.

He filmed Chu Mingcheng's training today. After editing these materials, it is a very good promotional video.

Come to the edge of the coral reef, where the water depth is about seven or eight meters.

Chu Mingcheng dived flat on the water surface, looked down, and the exhalation port of the breathing tube was above his head so he could breathe at any time.

This is the best way to find prey in coral reef areas.

Soon, Chu Mingcheng discovered a few rare fish swimming in the water about two meters above the coral, the grouper bream, also known as the black golden drum.

He made a look of holding his breath, and then plunged down.

Lu Zheqiang, who was filmed later, did the same thing and swam with him.

Chu Mingcheng slowed down when he came to a distance of about six or seven meters from the rock bream.

It was the first time to use a speargun, and he knew that his aim must not be very good, so he wanted to rely more on it.

He slowed down, first put the speargun on his stomach, pulled up the two rubber bands, and then slowly approached with his right hand holding the speargun in front of him.

The speargun actually has some weight, and it feels a bit heavy when picked up on land, but with the help of buoyancy in the water, it becomes very light and can be picked up steadily.

As he approached, the distance was more than three meters.

The porpoise became uneasy, flicked its tail and started to move away from him, keeping a distance from him.

Swimming speed is obviously accelerated, not as leisurely as before.

Chu Mingcheng stopped and didn’t dare to go any closer. After the fish stopped, he checked his diving watch first. Thirty seconds had passed since he dived, and he had to hurry up.

There was someone behind him, and he couldn't wait patiently at the bottom of the water, waiting for the fish to lower their vigilance before attacking.

Raising the speargun to aim, Chu Mingcheng chose the largest one, and after pointing it sideways at himself, he decisively pressed the trigger.

"Boom~"

The rubber band burst open in an instant, and the arrow flew out with a whoosh. The speed was so fast that Chu Mingcheng's own eyes couldn't catch it. He could only see the trajectory left behind by the arrow.

The grouper snapper in front of it scattered suddenly, missed the target fish, and hit the nine o'clock direction of the target fish. According to visual estimation, it was only about 20 centimeters away from the target fish.

It was normal to miss the first time. Chu Mingcheng swam back to the water first, and then retracted the arrow.

Lu Zheqiang swam to his side, took off the snorkel and said, "Ah Cheng, it doesn't matter if you missed the first target. The aim you just aimed was quite accurate, but there is one difference between shooting in sea water and swimming pool, that is, sea water is flowing. , fish can swim too.”

"First you have to pay attention to the direction of the sea water flow, and second, you can predict the fish's next move, so that your hit rate will quickly increase."

"Practice slowly, don't rush."

"Ok~"

Lu Zheqiang is right. He just didn’t take into account the thrust of the water flow, and he didn’t calculate the swimming speed of the fish accurately.

However, this kind of game requires more practice, and you will become familiar with it naturally.

Dive again to find suitable prey, this time he saw a bright green fish, which should be a parrotfish, not bad in size.

He took a breath and dived again, swimming towards the parrotfish.

Pull up the rubber band and start to approach.

He found that the fish was not swimming in place, but had been swimming slowly towards one o'clock, so he speeded up and stopped in front of it.

Turned over and stopped, holding the speargun and waiting for it to approach.

Five meters, four meters, three meters.

Watching the fish swim closer and closer until it stopped curiously in front of the speargun arrow, Chu Mingcheng fell silent.

I have never seen such a stupid fish in my life, and now I finally see it.

He pulls the trigger and with a bang, the arrow goes right through the fish.

The parrotfish realized that it regretted it, and swung its tail desperately.

But there is a barb on the fish arrow, which is specially designed to prevent the prey from escaping.

Chu Mingcheng was about to take out his diving knife to bleed the parrotfish, but suddenly there was a change in the aquatic product atlas in his mind.

But he was only taken aback for a moment, and then returned to his senses and bled the fish first. Seeing that it was almost two minutes into the water, he could only pull the rope and swim to the surface.

No way, he can't stay in the water for too long with people around him.

"Good luck!" Lu Zheqiang looked at the fish and praised it with a half-smile.

Chu Mingcheng smiled awkwardly. Stupid fish are rare, but fishermen and hunters still meet them occasionally.

Hooking the fish to the live fish button, he continued to look for prey. As for the new changes in the aquatic illustrated book, he can look at it when he has time.

Considering that it would be noon soon, Chu Mingcheng handed over the spear gun to Lu Zheqiang, then took out the spear gun on his back, and swam into deeper waters.

He needs another fish, enough for a few people for lunch.

In waters about 20 meters deep, it is impossible for people to see the bottom if they continue to dive on the water surface.

At this time, he needs to swim to the middle layer to find suitable prey, but the trouble in the middle layer is to go up to take a breath from time to time.

Going up to pretend to change his breath four times, he finally found his favorite prey, a barbed stonefish hiding in a crevice of coral.

After getting close, Chu Mingcheng realized that this stone bream was a bit big, at least five or six catties.

This stonefish hid in a crevice of coral thinking he would be safe, but this made it easier for him to use a spear.

Chu Mingcheng slowly came to the top of it, took a spear and aimed at its gills, whoosh~

The body of the fish was pierced, and the stone bream struggled frantically.

But it was useless, Chu Mingcheng stepped forward to hold it down, then let go of the spear and took out a diving knife to bleed it.

Fish blood was floating in the water, and soon it lost the strength to struggle.

Chu Mingcheng directly carried the fish to the surface of the water, took off the breathing tube and said to Lu Zheqiang who also surfaced: "Let's do this in the morning. After lunch, I will go to the swimming pool to continue practicing."

Lu Zheqiang has no objection, Chu Mingcheng goes to the swimming pool to practice, then he can train the two female students who just joined the team.

Back on the boat, Chu Mingcheng put the stone bream in ice water, and then poured a little white wine to sterilize it.

Before he ate the raw oysters caught by Jiang Luoluo, he was also funny at the time, but once in a while it was okay.

But if you often eat sashimi, it is best to kill the bacteria or ripen it.

Originally, white wine was the best, but there was only foreign wine on board, so Chu Mingcheng could only use white wine.

The parrot fish was picked off by him and cut into pieces for frying. The taste is also good.

The main reason is that such fresh fish has no fishy smell at all, so it tastes particularly good.

After lunch, Lu Zheqiang drove the boat back.

It was originally planned to take a day, but I didn't expect the progress of Chuming City to be so fast.
