64: Premium grouper

After successfully settling the bee colony and the episode of Dahei being stung, Lu Fan set off for the seaside he had been longing for, full of anticipation for delicious seafood.

"I have to treat myself well today. I wonder what treasures I'll find by the sea," Lu Fan muttered to himself as he quickened his pace.

When that boundless azure sea finally came into view, the waves beat cheerfully against the beach, as if welcoming him warmly.

Lu Fan strolled along the coastline, his eyes searching every corner where seafood might be hidden like searchlights.

Suddenly, a large object on the beach not far away caught his attention.

Getting closer, he saw it was actually a Giant Sea Turtle lying upside down on the beach, its limbs waving helplessly, unable to flip itself over. It looked quite pitiful.

Dahei immediately became interested upon seeing it, rushing up to sniff it and even resting a paw on the turtle's belly.

The Giant Sea Turtle was so frightened that it shook its head back and forth, trying to struggle.

Lu Fan came over and gave Dahei a smack. "What are you doing, you idiot? Have some manners."

"Are you alright, old fellow?" Lu Fan squatted down and gently stroked the turtle's shell, as if greeting an old friend.

The turtle felt the Animal Affinity coming from Lu Fan and poked its head out again, its panicked movements slowing down slightly.

Lu Fan thought to himself that if this turtle stayed on the beach for too long, it would not only be in danger of dehydration but might also become prey for other animals. He had to help it get back into the sea quickly.

No sooner said than done. Lu Fan gripped the turtle's shell tightly with both hands, took a deep breath, and suddenly exerted force.

Although this turtle was even bigger than a large iron pot, Lu Fan easily flipped it over.

"Good heavens, you're quite the heavyweight!" Lu Fan joked with a smile.

After returning to its normal posture, the turtle affectionately touched Lu Fan with its flippers.

"Old fellow, bless me to live a few more years." Lu Fan stroked the patterns on the turtle's back with his hand.

The old sea turtle stretched out its neck and let out a cry, as if responding to Lu Fan's words.

"Hahaha, go back now. Don't come up again. If you run into someone else, you'll end up as a dish," Lu Fan couldn't help but laugh heartily.

As if given a new lease on life, it immediately crawled vigorously toward the sea.

It looked back at Lu Fan from time to time, as if expressing its gratitude.

"Go home quickly, and be careful next time!" Lu Fan waved at the turtle, a warm smile spreading across his face.

"Wow, what a heartwarming scene—the stranded sea turtle and the kind survivor."

"The wrongly killed Wild Rabbit: Huh? Kind? Are you sure?"

"And the Wild Boars and Mountain Goats, hahahaha."

"In the end, the Giant Sea Turtle even looked back at Great God Lu Fan. As expected, all things have spirits—except for mosquitoes."

After bidding farewell to the turtle, Lu Fan followed the prompt's instructions to a sea area filled with reefs.

The water here was crystal clear, an ideal habitat for all kinds of seafood.

Dahei jumped directly into the sea, swimming around with a skillful doggy paddle.

Lu Fan rolled up his pant legs, stepped carefully into the water, gripping his trident tightly, his eyes locked onto the movements beneath the surface.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed through a crevice in the rocks. With his rich experience, Lu Fan immediately judged that it was very likely a large fish.

He held his breath and approached the direction where the shadow had disappeared with light steps, his eyes unblinking as he stared at the water's surface.

"Come on, little fish, become my meal."

"Ah! Glug glug~"

Just as Lu Fan was about to spear the fish, he was pushed into the water by Dahei, who was swimming past.

Instantly, bubbles popped out of his mouth.

Dahei stepped on Lu Fan's back, sticking out its tongue and shaking its head.

Lu Fan emerged from the water and spat out a mouthful of seawater. "Cough, cough, cough! You stupid dog! Get lost!"

After saying that, Lu Fan grabbed Dahei and threw it toward the other side.

"Awoo~"

Dahei drew an arc in the air and landed in the sea.

But it soon emerged from the water again, swimming around with its tongue out like an idiot.

"Hahaha, Dahei is such a pitfall. Great God Lu Fan almost speared the fish."

"Great God Lu Fan actually didn't beat it."

"Who would believe that this fellow is actually a native Wild Wolf."

"It's looking more and more like a dog."

Lu Fan wiped his face and looked down again to search for his target.

This time, he tried his best to lower his killing intent and let his Animal Affinity spread out.

Under the influence of Animal Affinity, the fish swam out from under the rock again.

The moment the fish reappeared, Lu Fan was quick and agile, suddenly throwing the fish spear.

With a "plop," the trident accurately hit the target.

"Haha, got you!"

Lu Fan shouted excitedly and quickly pulled the fish spear ashore.

[Discovered Top-Quality Grouper Fish]

"What?! Top-quality Grouper Fish?" Lu Fan couldn't help but cry out.

Taking a closer look at this Grouper Fish, he saw its colorful patterns and plump body; it looked extremely delicious at a glance.

"This luck is simply incredible!" Lu Fan said happily while carefully putting the Grouper Fish into the Bamboo Basket he carried with him.

The Grouper Fish flopped around in the Bamboo Basket as if protesting against becoming Lu Fan's "trophy."

"Top-quality Grouper Fish!!! What is that?"

"If you don't know, why are you so surprised?"

"With the word 'top-quality,' it should be very expensive."

"Not many people know about this; it went extinct several years ago."

At this time, Zhao Hangjun began to share his knowledge: "Grouper Fish has delicious meat, is low in fat, high in protein, and rich in nutrients such as protein, amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids. It is a high-grade edible fish."

"Wild ones are even rarer, and the price has always remained high. Unfortunately, due to marine pollution, they can no longer be seen."

With this unexpected surprise, Lu Fan continued to explore the seaside.

He came to a shallow beach where there were many stones and shells of various shapes.

[Discovered Sea Urchin]

Lu Fan looked down and found several dark round balls—Sea Urchins larger than a fist!

They were massive, with long and sharp spines, clearly top-quality specimens.

"I'm really hitting it big today!" Lu Fan crouched down excitedly, carefully picked up the Sea Urchins, and put them into his Bamboo Basket.

The Sea Urchin spines pricked his hands with a bit of pain, but this didn't affect Lu Fan's good mood at all.

He knew that these Sea Urchins were a rare delicacy; as long as they were handled properly, he could taste the delicious Sea Urchin Roe.

As the seafood in the Bamboo Basket grew more and more, Lu Fan prepared to return to the Shelter with satisfaction.

"Today's harvest is so abundant. I'll have to think carefully about how to cook these delicacies when I get back," Lu Fan said as he shouldered the Bamboo Basket and set off on his return journey.

"Let's go, silly dog, time to go home!"

Dahei immediately emerged from the sea upon hearing this, shaking the water off its body.
