Chapter 190 King Squid vs. Sperm Whale

Qin Feng has already arrived at the position of the crab group along the coast, and the crab pots have been released, so he sails to the port to rest temporarily.

And the king squid continued to look for new crab groups. It has been active outside recently, catching some king crabs as food from time to time, which caused it to grow a little longer, and its tentacles almost reached 23 meters.

How can a normal king squid be so big.

The largest king squid discovered so far has a body length of [-] meters and a weight of nearly one ton.

However, the length of adult king squid is basically about 12 meters, so it will be reduced to the food of sperm whales.

After all, the two are like a strong man and a child.

Qin Feng's king squid has obviously mutated due to the pet water tank. It is 23 meters long and weighs almost two tons.

The important thing is that it has just entered adulthood now, and this size probably hasn't reached its limit yet.

But today, it encountered the existence it feared the most, its natural enemy, an adult male sperm whale.

The sperm whale is nearly 20 meters long and weighs more than [-] tons.

The sperm whale is looking for prey, and its main food is a variety of large squid, octopus and fish.

But most of them eat octopus and squid. After all, these two swim slowly and basically cannot escape after being found by sperm whales.

At this time, it discovered one of its own recipes, king squid.

Immediately, it swam over excitedly, but just after seeing the giant that was longer than itself, it slammed on the brakes and hesitated a little.

At this time, the king squid also found its natural enemy, the sperm whale, and immediately turned around to take precautions.

It was obviously very clear that its swimming speed was not dominant, and if the sperm whale really wanted to eat it, it could only choose to confront it head-on.

The sperm whale seized the opportunity of a surprise attack, but after a little hesitation, it decided to kill the food it had finally found. After all, in its experience, the king squid had very little strength and was not strong enough to fight it.

So it rushed to the king squid again, but what it didn't expect was that the tentacles of the king squid suddenly became longer.

In its decades of whale career, no king squid has ever grown its tentacles.

The king squid first tied the sperm whale with its two longest tentacles, directly tied its mouth, and wrapped it around twice.

Then some other selected tentacles became entangled, and two of them blocked the sperm whale's nostrils on purpose.

The sperm whale didn't expect that the king squid would counter him when he lost his mind. It tried to open its mouth and wanted to use its most powerful weapon, the high-sound wave.

Unexpectedly, the tentacles were tied so tightly that he couldn't even open his mouth, his nostrils were blocked, and he couldn't make a sound at all.

The panicked sperm whale slammed into the coral reef below, trying to knock the king squid off.

Immediately, many coral reefs were crushed by the two giant beasts, but the king squid was not as rough and fleshy as the sperm whale, and its red skin was immediately broken.

But for its size, these wounds are not a hindrance, but the impact force of the sperm whale makes it uncomfortable.

But as one of the smartest animals among invertebrates, it immediately changed its position and hid at the head of the sperm whale, which made it more difficult for the sperm whale to get rid of it.

During the period, the sperm whale changed its posture from time to time, or twisted, or crashed into the reef, and its nostrils were blocked by the king squid, making it even more crazy.

But even though the king squid was covered with bruises, it still clung tightly to the sperm whale, not daring to relax at all.

Because it clearly knows that as long as it relaxes, it will immediately become food, and the owner can't save it.

Although Qin Feng is now rushing to the place where the king squid is located anxiously, he really has no way to save it unless the sperm whale brings it to the surface for him to see.

The sperm whale did bring it to the surface, but it didn't take long before the sperm whale suffocated to death.

The scarred king squid slowly let go of the sperm whale, swam back to the bottom of the water and found the crab pot that was still on the side, grabbed the crab out with its tentacles and ate it, and then waited for Qin Feng's arrival.

A few hours later, Qin Feng finally saw the king squid and took it back to the aquarium together with the crab cage.

At the same time, the information of King Squid has also changed a little. It takes a month longer to recover from the injury. It seems that there is no way for it to help find the crabs in the future.

But the King Squid is as good as it is alive, even if he encounters a pet like the King Squid again, it may not be able to successfully increase the intimacy to [-] points.

If it is encountered under normal circumstances, it will return to the deep sea and never meet again before the intimacy is cultivated.

Now the king squid was only injured, which made Qin Feng heaved a sigh of relief. As for the body of the sperm whale, it had already sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Perhaps after a period of time, if its stomach is not broken, it will float to the surface again.

As for the ambergris, it will slowly form after the sperm whale is refreshed and then evolves for a period of time.

Therefore, even if Qin Feng had a way to disembowel the sperm whale, he couldn't get it.

When a whale falls into everything, let this sperm whale nourish the waters and nourish more king crabs!

It happened that the crab pots were released before, and the boatman went back to his room to sleep. He was also planning to drive the boat to the port to rest, but he did not expect such a thing to happen.

Now that the wind and waves at sea are getting bigger and bigger, he doesn't plan to salvage the crab pots, he'd better go back to Hong Kong and have a good night's rest.

Back to Hong Kong, rested for the night, the storm continued the next day, the Oriental Dragon stopped at the port overnight, encountered a big trouble.

Today's temperature is minus [-] degrees, and the ship's side and other places were wet by the waves last night, and all ice was formed, which was still very thick.

Qin Feng was very helpless, so he had to take a hammer with the boatmen to smash the ice and clean it up.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the size of the boat was not a good thing. After working all morning, seven people managed to clean up the frozen area.

After dealing with it, Qin Feng felt that it was too dangerous to work under such a big storm, so he decided to wait for the storm to be smaller before going out to sea.

But today he was idle all day, and when he was thinking about how to pass the time, Paul came with a few boatmen.

"Qin, do you want to rent some fishing rods and go fishing?"

"Fishing?" Qin Feng's eyes lit up suddenly, how could he forget such an important thing.

Currently there are a lot of tuna in the small fish tank, the current number is 56, and the large fish tank is still full, including three bluefin tuna.

But he can still catch 44 fish and put them in the tank to grow.

Most of the wild salmon in the Bering Sea are Pacific salmon, and the price is not high, only four to fifty-one catties, but the size is not bad, basically around six to ten catties.

In addition, there are fishes with high economic value such as sockeye salmon, and even if you are lucky, you can catch rare wild king salmon.

At that moment, he immediately went to buy a half-month fishing license. This fishing license can catch some fish such as flatfish and red salmon, but if he catches king salmon, he will be released.

If you want to catch king salmon, you need to get a legal quota just like crabbing, but it is very difficult, and he didn't plan to show it publicly, so it doesn't matter.

The largest known king salmon weighs [-] kilograms. Under normal circumstances, king salmon can grow to more than five kilograms.

The most famous king salmon comes from New Zealand and is farmed. The domestic value is about 81 jin. In some places, it is more expensive, and it only needs [-] jin.

To be honest, this price is considered expensive in the eyes of many people, and a small king salmon costs five or six hundred.

But in Qin Feng's eyes, it is just to add some new varieties to his aquatic product store in his spare time, although the wild ones are more expensive.

After getting ready, Qin Feng took out his attribute fishing rod, and then sailed to St. Paul Island. This is an uninhabited island, and the surrounding fish resources are good.

Moreover, it is stormy weather now, and many fish will also look for stable places. For example, the wind on the leeward side of the island is much smaller.

The boat is less affected by the wind and waves when it stops here, so it is suitable for fishing.

The group started fishing enthusiastically. There was a lot of bait on the boat, so Paul directly took the frozen herring bait and cut it into pieces, and cut a big basket.

Qin Feng picked up a piece of fish and hung it up, and added a three-jin heavy lead pendant for fishing deep-sea fish, so as not to keep the hook from drifting with the waves.

Although a few decades ago, fish resources were scarce in these places due to overfishing, but foreign countries have done a good job of stopping losses, so the chances of catching big fish abroad are much greater than those at home.

Qin Feng threw the bait into the water and saw the fishing line was released rapidly and sank to about 50 meters. He adjusted the unloading force, and then retracted two or three meters of line to straighten the fishing line.

In just a short while, the boatmen next to him were still waiting with their fishing rods. The tip of the fishing rod on his side bent down, and the fishing line was slowly released. It was obvious that a fish had bitten the hook.

Qin Feng looked at the images in his mind, but he didn't expect that the first one was red salmon.

Through the images, he also saw other schools of sockeye and Pacific salmon surrounding them.

The body of sockeye salmon is red, and the head part is indeed yellow, while the scales of Pacific salmon are silver-gray. At a glance, it is really hard to distinguish it from king salmon.

This fish is not too big, since it caught the attention of people around him, Qin Feng simply caught this fish.

"Oh, brothers, the captain has already caught fish, we have to hurry up!" Paul was casually making some silly jokes with the people around him, seeing that Qin Feng had already caught one, Get serious right away.

Qin Feng chuckled, temporarily put down the fishing rod, bled the sockeye salmon, cleaned out the internal organs, rinsed the fish blood with water, and then slowly placed it in a box covered with ice.

Whether sockeye or Pacific salmon, these can be collectively referred to as salmon. The main way to eat salmon is sashimi, so the fish must be protected and handled with care.

It is a pity that the salmon in the Bering Sea now have no eggs. They will go to some freshwater areas if they want to breed. In Heijiang Province of my country, Pacific salmon come to breed every autumn.

The salmon belly at that time was full of fish eggs, which can be made into caviar, which tastes very good.

After dealing with this fish, Qin Feng put on the bait and continued fishing, and soon caught another one. The silver-gray fish was a Pacific salmon, but it had a fat belly.

Just when Qin Feng was about to catch it, a Pacific salmon in the image passed by the fish he caught.

"Hey!" Qin Feng immediately noticed something, why the two fish are different, there seems to be a slight difference.

I caught this one with dense black spots on the back, and the color is a bit dark, not pure silver gray.

With a thought in his heart, the fish was put into the tank.

【King Salmon】

[Weight: 8.3 catties]

[Time required for growth: two days]

After seeing the information, Qin Feng suddenly realized that this is the real appearance of king salmon, almost because it is Pacific salmon.

I saw from the image just now that although the proportion of king salmon in this group of fish is very small, it is still very easy to fill the remaining 40 or so capacity of his tank.

After fishing all afternoon, Qin Feng managed to catch 44 king salmon until it got dark.

The average weight of these king salmon is about nine catties, and it can reach nearly thirty catties after being tripled.

Wild king salmon is naturally much more expensive than farmed ones, mainly because the number of wild king salmon is now scarce, and there is only a small amount of fishing supply from May to September every year.

And Atlantic salmon, which is comparable to king salmon, is even less wild.

But this king salmon was taken out and claimed to be wild. It is really hard to prove it. It is estimated that it will be given away at that time, and the rest will be sold as ordinary New Zealand king salmon.

The quantity is not much, even if the wild price is three times higher, it is nothing to Qin Feng, it is better to sell tuna simply and conveniently.

In the evening, everyone tasted what they had harvested today. Qin Feng ate sockeye salmon.

The meat quality of sockeye salmon is lower than that of king salmon and Atlantic salmon. The meat is tender and rich in fat, and the taste of sashimi is excellent.

Qin Feng was a little regretful that Chef Tan didn't bring his own sauce, so it tasted a little less.

After a night's rest, everyone woke up at six o'clock the next morning.

The storm is still there, but the wind and waves are slightly weaker.

It has been a day late, even in such bad weather, they have to continue working.

Qin Feng first released the tiger secretly and asked him to look for crabs.

Then he sailed to collect the [-] crab pots. This batch of crab pots had been stored for a long enough time, and when he was free, he screened out all the ones that did not meet the specifications, so it would also become the most recent catch. Biggest ever.

However, judging from the images, the crabs have already left, and they cannot release them again after taking back the crab pots.

It's just that when Qin Feng arrived here, he found that on the left side of his own crab cage, someone else had thrown a crab cage here.

Because the distance exceeds the range of the image, Qin Feng did not notice this before.

According to the rules of crabbing in Alaska, the behavior of the other party is malicious competition, but this is a moral issue, and Qin Feng has nothing to do with the other party.

Looking at the buoy, he suddenly realized that it was the crab cage of Anderson, the captain of the Legend.

Each buoy has the logo of its own crabbing boat, so you can tell who the crab pots belong to at a glance with a telescope.

Qin Feng shook his head speechlessly, and didn't bother to argue with the other party, so he began to order the boatmen to salvage the crab pots.

What he didn't know was that he had only collected a few crab pots before the Legend came here.

　One more night
