Chapter 323: Chapter 177: Jinxiu Lobster_2

Reefs and corals are actually two different things, although often mentioned together as coral reefs, the relationship between coral reefs and reefs is there, yet hard to describe.

A reef, in its essence, is a rock, defined as a rock near the water surface in rivers or oceans, not necessarily visible above the water.

However, the expert’s definition states that even rocks on islands covered with soil and vegetation, which are not exposed above the sea surface, are also considered reefs, understood as any rock grown near the sea.

What we just talked about, corals, are actually a type of animal, that’s right, they are animals not plants, corals are made up of millions of coral polyps’ dead bodies, and a coral reef is essentially these bodies grown on the reef.

Most marine life, just like terrestrial organisms, needs a place to hide, a cave to protect themselves, which is why, generally speaking, there are many marine creatures near reefs and coral reefs.

The reefs by the island shores can’t really compare with coral reefs, but these rarely visited places definitely hide many treasures.

Seeing the sun had not yet set, and that there seemed to be many creatures among the reefs below, Lin Yang thought about it and decided to dive for fun, as he had only swam in rivers before and had never dived in the ocean, especially in such clear waters.

Moreover, he could also test out his newly acquired "Swimming Mastery" skill to see how effective it was.

After talking to Yue’er and Li Xiaopeng, Lin Yang started putting on equipment on the deck, as Boss Chen’s yacht was equipped with diving gear, including masks, fins, oxygen tanks, regulators, gloves, etc.

"Brother Yang, be careful, and make sure to return promptly if you encounter any danger."

After gearing up, Lin Yang nodded to the two, gave an OK gesture, and then flipped into the water.

Li Xiaopeng also wanted to play in the water, but considering that untrained people, even with professional diving equipment, might not be able to move freely underwater, he decided against it after weighing his options.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...

As Lin Yang plunged into the water, he initially felt a bit stifled in his chest and saw a lot of bubbles whenever he exhaled.

After he acclimated to the water, until he calmed down in the water, he began to appreciate his swimming abilities.

It must be said, even though he was wearing comprehensive diving gear now, he felt he could swim underwater for a good while even without the gear, thanks to the swimming skills.

Having adapted to the underwater environment, Lin Yang swung his body and dived deeper, and as he submerged, another world appeared before his eyes.

But don’t get too dreamy, this underwater world wasn’t particularly pretty because it was near the island, the water, although clear, lacked the colorful coral reefs that look stunning at a glance.

What appeared before him was a vast collection of bizarre black reefs dressed in slimy algae, occasionally crossed by oddly-shaped small fishes.

At this moment, his visibility was between ten to twenty meters, not too bad, and then he slowly continued to descend to the seafloor.

After reaching the seafloor, he saw even more fish, many of which he had caught before, like Black Wing, Yellow Wing, mudfish, and others.

Of course, many were fish he hadn’t caught before, such as Xiangtou, White Wax (White Snapper), and groups of Pan Zai (Two-Spined Bream), with Stone Nine Public darting around the crevices, Lin Yang peered through, and within 10 meters, he saw at least a dozen different types of fish.

Such a scene is hard to find in freshwater, but is quite common in the ocean, yet his target at the moment wasn’t these fish, because of a very normal reason... he couldn’t catch up with them underwater.

His purpose for diving this time was, firstly, to experience what it felt like to dive in the ocean, and secondly, naturally, to unlock more aquatic life entries in his catalog.

You see, crabs, shrimps, and sea snails are also considered marine life, and if he couldn’t catch fish with his bare hands underwater, why couldn’t he catch crabs and sea snails?

With a goal in mind, he began to take action.

And truly, his luck wasn’t bad, just as he reached the seafloor, he spotted his targeted marine life a few meters ahead.

Near a piece of reef on the seafloor, Lin Yang saw a few lobsters stealthily feeding, and he quietly swam towards them. Before the two lobsters noticed him, he quickly reached out and grabbed them, then casually tossed them into the net bag he had brought down.

Capturing two lobsters at once, and different ones at that, he eagerly checked the catalog to see if he could unlock rewards, as he had never manually caught marine life before.

The next second, he was relieved, as the catalog indeed successfully unlocked two rewards, though both were the same, each with just 100 dollars and 1 point, but it at least proved he could unlock catalog rewards with his hands.
