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

The tide had receded to its lowest point, exposing large areas of reefs to the sea.

Without saying a word, Wu Gang and Wu Lei took off their clothes and jumped into the waist-deep seawater.

"Wow, this water is really a bit cold."

Wu Lei shivered, adjusted to the water temperature, and waded towards the first buoy.

Wu Gang followed behind, and the two of them trudged through the crevices of the rocks, soon finding the rope for tying the fish trap.

"Ah Sui, this fish trap is incredibly heavy, it's stuck in a crack in the rocks!"

Wu Gang tugged hard on the rope, but the fish trap under the water didn't budge.

Wu Sui stood at the bow of the boat, using a flashlight to illuminate the two of them.

"Big brother, Lei-ge, don't pull too hard, just let it flow out with the current."

Having been fishermen for a long time, Wu Lei naturally knew how to untangle a longline.

Following the rope down, they groped around underwater for a while, then pushed it to the side with force, and then pulled it up sharply, and the fish trap came out of the crevice in the reef.

"Wow, quite a lot of stuff." Wu Lei's arm muscles were tense, and his face turned red.

Wu Gang's side was similar; the two dragged the ground cage to the side of the boat.

Chen Yongqiang and Wang Dazhu couldn't wait any longer. They leaned forward, grabbed the bottom cage, and dragged it onto the deck.

By the light of the ship's lamps, the group of people peered closer and gasped in shock.

The ten-meter-long cage was packed full of goods.

Chen Yang deftly untied the rope at one end of the cage, and Wang Dazhu and Chen Yongqiang lifted the cage and gave it a shake.

"Splash..."

A pile of seafood was dumped directly onto the deck, forming a small mountain.

"Holy crap, brother-in-law, there's so much!" Chen Yang was so excited he could barely speak.

Several large blue crabs, each bigger than an adult's palm, waved their massive pincers and scrambled outwards.

Three or four eels, each as thick as a wrist, writhed wildly in the pile of fish, their slippery bodies splashing water everywhere.

Small green dragons, sea snails, mantis shrimps... and some other miscellaneous bottom-dwelling fish.

"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Wang Dazhu stepped on the crab and took out a rubber band to start tying it.

Wu Lei clung to the ship's railing, grinning as he looked at the cargo on the deck.

"This one cage is equivalent to the goods we collected from three fish traps last time!"

Wu Gang wiped the seawater off his face, his face also beaming with joy.

"Ah Sui is right. After two days, all the goods around here have crawled in. It's a pity that four are missing. If we could find them all, we could sell them for a lot of money."

Wu Sui used pliers to clamp several wriggling eels into the bucket.

"Big brother, Lei-ge, let's hurry and bring the rest aboard before the tide comes in!"

"Alright!" The two were full of energy and turned around to wade through the water to collect the next one.

For the next two hours or so, the deck was in complete uproar.

The second trap, the third trap...

Each fish trap was hauled onto the boat, and the cargo that was dumped out was dazzling.

Blue crabs, orchid crabs, conger eels, octopuses, and various kinds of precious sea snails almost covered the deck.

Wu Sui and Chen Yang were sweating profusely as they sorted and packed the food without stopping.

By the time the fifth fish trap was brought up, the large plastic baskets on the boat were already full.

"Brother Sui, the cargo in these six traps is more than the cargo in the ten traps we had last time."

Chen Yongqiang straightened up, rubbed his sore back, and his face was full of excitement.

Wu Sui glanced at the harvest on the deck and made some calculations in his mind.

The goods in these six traps alone should be worth several thousand yuan.

"Only one left, Big Brother, Brother Lei, give it your all!" Wu Sui shouted to the two people in the water.

Wu Gang and Wu Lei walked toward the last buoy.

The buoy was located in a deep area, and the water had reached the chest level of the two people.

The two men touched the rope, and as soon as they exerted force, their expressions changed simultaneously.

"Lei Zi, something's not right, why is it so heavy?"

Wu Gang used all his strength to barely lift the fish trap off the bottom of the water.

Wu Lei gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.

"Brother Gang, is there a rock hanging down there? I can't lift it!"

Seeing this, Wu Sui also jumped into the water to help.

"Dazhu, Yongqiang, get the hooks and help!"

The three people on the boat leaned out halfway and hooked their bodies onto the mesh of the fish trap with hooks.

Together with the three people in the water, they managed to drag the last fish trap onto the deck.

As soon as it landed, a violent struggle came from inside the cage.

"This commotion... Did they bring in a big shipment?!" Wang Dazhu was startled and took a half step back.

Wu Sui and the others climbed up the rope ladder onto the boat and joined in.

"Hurry up and open it to see what it is!" Wu Lei urged, panting heavily.

Chen Yongqiang swallowed hard, untied the rope, and together with Wang Dazhu, grabbed the tail of the cage and pulled it up forcefully.

A bunch of miscellaneous fish and crabs fell out first.

Immediately afterwards, a huge dark shadow rolled out of the cage and crashed heavily onto the deck.

"Oh my god!" Chen Yang exclaimed, taking a few steps back.

The beam of light hit the dark figure.

After seeing what was on the ground, the deck fell silent instantly, with only the heavy breathing of a few people remaining.

That was an extremely large, giant lobster!

Its entire body is covered with a colorful tapestry of blue, green, purple, and red, shimmering with a strange luster under the light.

Its two thick tentacles are extremely long, almost exceeding its own body length. The tentacles and carapace are covered with sharp barbs, which are enough to make one's scalp tingle.

The giant creature arched its body on the deck, its tail suddenly snapped back half a meter, and its two long tentacles waving wildly.

"This...this is a shrimp?" Chen Yang stammered, his eyes wide like saucers.

Wu Lei, a seasoned fisherman with extensive experience, stared at the giant object on the ground, took a deep breath, and suppressed his overwhelming joy.

"This is a spiny lobster, we call it the divine lobster here!"

"A lobster?" Chen Yang was taken aback. "Is this thing really that valuable?"

Wu Sui nodded, his eyes fixed on the lobster.

"It's very valuable. These creatures usually live in the deep sea and rarely come near shallow reef areas."

"I guess the rough seas these past few days caused the underwater currents to carry it up, and it just happened to get into our trap."

The colorful lobster is also called the rainbow lobster, mainly because of its vibrant colors.

A typical spiny lobster weighs only a pound or two, but this one is ridiculously large. Its thick body and long antennae make it visually striking.

"This lobster must weigh at least five or six pounds!"

Upon hearing the weight, everyone gasped.

Wang Dazhu swallowed hard and asked cautiously.

"Brother Sui, how much can this thing sell for?"

Wu Sui smiled and said, "The exact price depends on the boss's offer, but this stuff is definitely priced by weight."

"As long as you're delivered to the recycling station alive, you're guaranteed at least a thousand yuan!"
