Beachcombing: The beach is full of amazing seafood, but my wife won't let me get out of bed!

There are so many tidal bores on this beach that it's impossible to collect them all.

The buckets were all full. Wu Sui straightened up and pounded his back, watching Chen Yang and Chen Yongqiang pour the octopus into the snakeskin bag.

A cry suddenly came from the sea not far away.

Chen Yang stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the sea.

"Brother-in-law, what's that noise? It sounds really creepy."

Wu Sui turned her head to look in the direction from which the sound came.

Hundreds of meters away, the sea was churning with splashes.

A dark gray spine emerged from the water, spraying out a water column two or three meters high.

"It's a sperm whale." Wu Sui recognized it at a glance. "It's not very big; it should be a small sperm whale."

Chen Yongqiang also came over: "How did this thing get here?"

Wu Sui looked at the swamp cubs still crawling haphazardly on the beach and suddenly realized what was going on.

"No wonder there are so many tide-watching spots on this island."

"The swarm of swarms usually stays in the mud and sand of the deep water and rarely comes ashore in groups."

"It's met its natural enemy."

"Sperm whales love to eat cephalopod seafood, with squid and octopus being their favorites."

"This group of tidal bores was chased all the way up from the deep water area by it."

Chen Yang was stunned: "So we got lucky and stumbled upon that little sperm whale?"

Wu Sui smiled, jumped onto a rock, and waved to the baby sperm whale on the surface of the sea.

"Thanks, everyone!"

The baby sperm whale on the surface of the sea seemed to hear the noise. It slapped its tail against the water, spouted another jet of water, and then disappeared underwater.

"Alright, stop looking and get to work." Wu Sui turned around. "The tide is about to come in, so let's collect as much as we can."

The three of them once again plunged into the battle to harvest.

The seagulls continued to circle overhead, occasionally swooping down to snatch food.

Chen Yang had learned his lesson; he picked up the seagulls while waving the fire tongs to scare them away.

"Get out of here, this is my territory."

Chen Yongqiang worked diligently, and the tide in the bucket visibly rose.

More than an hour later, the tide began to rise slowly.

The number of people on the beach who were watching the tide was decreasing, as most of them had receded back into the sea with the tide.

The seagulls circling overhead had eaten and drunk their fill, and one by one they flew away.

Wu Sui shook his aching arms and glanced at the bucket in his hand.

Including that bucket, he alone weighs nearly 100 pounds.

Chen Yang and Chen Yongqiang will also reap considerable rewards.

"Let's go, it's about time. Let's go meet up with our older brother and the others."

The three men carried buckets and snakeskin bags, walking along the beach.

From a distance, you can see Wu Gang, Wu Lei, and Wang Dazhu sitting on the rocks smoking.

The group was wearing only shorts, and their clothes were drying on the rocks.

"Big Brother!" Chen Yang waved and shouted from afar, "Did you guys get anything good?"

Wu Gang stood up, threw away his cigarette butt, and came forward.

"Oh my, you've caught so many long-legged slugs too?"

"Brothers, you encountered them too? How many did you arrest?"

Wu Lei also jumped off the rocks with a smile and pointed to a puddle not far away.

"We arrived too late, and there were a lot of seabirds, so we only caught two bags, which weighed about 300 pounds in total."

Looking at their outfits, Wu Sui understood.

They must have all been infected; their clothes were covered in bird droppings, which is why they took off their clothes to wash them.

"About two hundred pounds, we caught over two hundred pounds too." He put down the bucket and pointed to the sea.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank a baby sperm whale for my luck today."

"If it hadn't chased these tide-watchers up from underwater, where would we have gotten this bargain?"

Upon hearing the words "mini sperm whale," Wu Gang and Wu Lei were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions changed.

"Ah Sui, what did you just say? What did you see?"

Wu Sui was taken aback by his older brother's reaction: "A small sperm whale? It's not very big. It was just on the sea outside the rocky beach. I even greeted it."

Wu Lei slapped his thigh and shouted in frustration.

"broken!"

Chen Yang, confused, looked at the two and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Lei? It's just a whale, why are you so scared?"

Wu Gang stamped his feet in frustration: "The whales are foraging down there, charging around recklessly. The longline we just released is all in that area."

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

Wu Sui's heart skipped a beat.

Even the strongest longline can't withstand the toss and turn of a whale weighing several tons.

If a baby sperm whale were chasing a school of fish underwater and accidentally got caught on a longline, it would probably drag the hook away.

"Damn it!" Wu Sui cursed, picked up the bucket, and said, "Hurry up and get on the boat to reel in the line."

The group forgot about their joy and rushed to the boat with their buckets.

"Ah Sui, you guys drive fast, go ahead, I'll follow you!" Wu Gang shouted into the walkie-talkie.

"Got it... Brother Lei, drive over there at full speed."

The two boats, one after the other, quickly sailed away from the island and headed towards the area for longline fishing.

The waves on the sea were smaller than before.

The bow of the ship cleaved through the sea, splashing up large white sprays.

Wu Sui stood on the deck, gripping the gunwale with both hands, staring at the sea ahead.

The radar screen unfolded in my mind.

The area that had previously shone with a dazzling blue light was now in complete chaos.

The light spots darted around randomly, without any discernible pattern.

What sank Wu Suixin even further was that he saw a huge red dot at the edge of the radar.

The size of that light spot was much larger than any of the large fish they had encountered before.

Moreover, the red light was moving rapidly toward the location where they were casting their longline.

"Brother Lei, go faster!" Wu Sui shouted into the driver's seat.

Wu Lei gritted his teeth and pushed the accelerator to the floor.

A dozen minutes later, the boat finally arrived at the spot where the hook had been lowered.

On the sea, the large buoys that were originally used to mark longline fishing positions have now disappeared.

Wu Sui stared at the empty sea, his face ashen.

Wang Dazhu stood at the bow of the boat, holding the buoy, looking around: "Brother Sui, where are the buoys? They're all gone!"

Wu Sui took a deep breath and pointed to a body of water a few hundred meters to his left.

"Over there."

Looking in the direction Wu Sui was pointing, one could see the sea surface churning with waves, and a huge dark shadow struggling violently underwater.

With a creaking sound, the main line was stretched taut, extending hundreds of meters directly from underwater.

The other end of the main storyline became entangled in a black reef protruding from the water.

The baby sperm whale got entangled in a longline fishing line!

Moreover, judging from the way it's being handled, it's pulled out the entire longline fishing line.

Wu Gang's boat also came closer.

Wu Gang's trembling voice came through the walkie-talkie.

"Ah Sui... what... what should we do?"

Wu Sui stared at the enormous creature tumbling underwater, feeling somewhat discouraged.

"There's no other way, brother. Slowly approach and cut the line."
