Chapter 11: Fortune Comes, Disaster Strikes
Niu Bayi finally understood why Qingliu had brought him here.
It was all so he could go to the rocky island and dig for treasure!
Niu Bayi carefully approached the shore, intending to jump out, but after thinking for a moment, he ran back into the cabin.
Here's a toolbox; it has all sorts of tools.
Soon, Niu Bayi found what he wanted.
It looks like a shovel, about 20 centimeters long, with a shovel face 3 centimeters wide. The shovel tip is very sharp, like a knife tip, and slightly curved.
This small shovel may not look impressive, but it is a professional tool.
Niu Bayi grabbed it, carried a bucket, crawled out of the cabin, and jumped onto the rocky island.
Not long after the high tide receded, the reef island was not only wet but also slippery.
You might fall down if you're not careful, and that would be terrible.
If poured on barnacles or oysters, it can easily create many bloody cuts.
The edges of both of these little gadgets are as sharp as knife blades.
Fortunately, although Niu Bayi's shoes were tattered, they were still quite sturdy.
Stepping on it won't cut your feet.
He crouched down beside a wide crevice in the rocks and stared inside.
There were two protrusions, each the size of an adult man's fist, firmly attached to the reef.
The color is almost the same as the rocks, and it looks like a small, protruding stone.
However, with Niu Bayi's sharp eyes, this kind of treasure simply couldn't escape.
He held a small shovel in his left hand and reached into the crevice in the rock with his right hand to press down on the thing.
It wriggled slightly and sank inward.
Niu Bayi tried to bend it with a little force, but it didn't budge, just like a protruding rock.
Niu Bayi remained calm and unhurried.
Now it's time to use the shovels.
He reached over with his small shovel and forcefully inserted it into the gap between the object and the reef.
The flat blade pierced in instantly, then pushed in about three centimeters further.
Niu Bayi carefully sensed it.
Although it's possible to pry this thing out now, he didn't.
If you pry it open, you might just break this treasure.
He explored it carefully.
Suddenly, he gently lifted the small, sharp shovel upwards.
Then, something amazing happened.
The thing that was originally firmly stuck to the reef fell off by itself, revealing its pale yellow belly, and its feet were still wriggling slightly.
This is an abalone, and a five-headed abalone at that!
The term "head" refers to the number of abalone per pound.
If there are two abalones in one jin (500g), they are called two-headed abalone; if there are three abalones, they are called three-headed abalone.
The abalone that Niu Bayi dug up is called the Nine-Hole Abalone.
These abalone can't grow that big. Four or five heads is already top-grade and amazing. Three heads is extremely rare, and two heads or more is absolutely impossible.
Only the rarer ear abalone and sheep abalone have such large heads.
However, compared to abalone, they are much rarer and cost several times or even ten times more.
But even this abalone with nine holes and five heads costs three or four yuan each.
Four-headed abalone can sell for four or five yuan.
Six-head abalone are mostly sold by weight, at around 20 or 30 yuan per jin.
Abalone with eight to ten heads costs ten to twenty yuan per catty.
The treasure that Niu Bayi just discovered is these abalone.
As the tide recedes, they are densely packed and everywhere on the rocky island.
Some hid in the crevices of the rocks, while others lay directly on the rocks.
Moreover, they are all quite large.
Niu Bayi thought to himself, maybe they even have four-headed abalone.
These abalone are worth far more than most fish that can be caught from the sea.
This rocky island is a treasure trove.
Moreover, it was clear that only he had discovered it.
For a moment, Niu Bayi even forgot about casting his net to catch fish.
Let's get these abalone back first!
Looking at the sky, there are still three or four hours until high tide.
He must get as much abalone as possible during this period.
Soon, he dug out another abalone from the crevice in the reef.
This abalone, although smaller than the previous one, is still quite valuable.
Next, Niu Bayi entered a frenzy of digging for abalone.
They quickly dug up more than twenty.
Among them were three four-headed abalone.
The wooden bucket was quickly filled.
He quickly went back to the boat, brought out the remaining three, and sorted the abalone into different categories.
Four abalones in one bucket.
Put five abalones in one bucket.
Put six or seven abalones in a bucket.
Put the eight to ten heads in another bucket.
Niu Bayi was also surprised to find that there were no more than ten abalone among these.
In other words, there are no smaller abalone at all.
They're all at least ten-head abalone!
After drinking the coconut water from his spatial dimension and filling his stomach, Niu Bayi felt like he had inexhaustible energy.
In less than half an hour, he filled all four buckets.
Straighten up and take a look. This is such a big rocky island, and the abalone he dug up is probably less than one percent of it.
This is fucking incredible!
Niu Bayi quickly carried the four buckets of abalone back to the cabin and sorted them into four piles.
Then, carrying the empty bucket, they returned to the rocky island to continue digging.
After digging for an unknown amount of time, Niu Bayi suddenly felt something was very wrong.
The wind at sea grew stronger and stronger, making him stagger from side to side.
Looking up, I realized that the seawater had unknowingly swept over the rocky island, submerging about one-fifth of it.
The waves surged and grew larger.
The bright moon in the sky was obscured at some point, and dark clouds rolled in everywhere.
In the distance, everything was pitch black, with thick, dark clouds spreading across the sea.
Not long after, a large wave suddenly crashed in, rocking the fishing boat violently.
Niu Bayi was beaten until he was soaked and almost fell to the ground.
Before long, the scene became even more terrifying.
The dark, heavy clouds transformed into a towering black mountain, looming down with several enormous, thick, elephant trunks hanging down to the sea.
Niu Bayi was filled with anxiety.
He knew at a glance that he had encountered Gu Longfeng.
A waterspout is a tornado that forms at sea and is also called a waterspout; it is very destructive.
Even if you're not caught in the water jets, just being affected by the water could capsize the boat.
A person who falls into the sea has no chance of survival; they can only feed the fish.
If a boat or a person were to be hit head-on by a waterspout, they would probably be torn to shreds in an instant!
Niu Bayi soon saw an elephant trunk hanging down from the sky, swaying towards them.
This is a waterspout!
Judging by the speed, it should arrive in about ten minutes.
The fishing boat rocked even more violently, and kept crashing into the hard reefs.
If they keep ramming like that, the fishing boat will smash a big hole in itself before the waterspout even hits.
What?
It's definitely too late to leave by boat.
With such a strong wind, even at full throttle, there's no way to escape.
The waterspout is getting closer and closer!
Does this mean that I'm going to be buried at the bottom of the sea right after I've just been reborn?
No matter how heartbroken or sad He Zhenzhen is, her parents will beat her to death.
Niu Bayi thought for a moment, then quickly carried the wooden bucket full of abalone onto the fishing boat.
No matter what, I have to try my luck with the rebirth benefits and see if it works!
