Evening.

When Chen Wen displayed ten fish hooks.

Lv Guocheng, a seasoned fisherman, was wide-eyed.

He couldn't help but say, "Bone fish hooks, you guys are truly geniuses!"

"No no no, it's Chen Wen who's the genius."

Gan Tieshan laughed and said, "This was Chen Wen's idea. See if you can use it."

"Use it, why wouldn't it work?"

Lv Guocheng took the fish hooks and examined them closely: "Aside from not being very sharp, they're almost perfect!"

Chen Wen interjected, "Just can't use them for lure fishing, but for throwing bait, they should work for catching stonefish."

Lv Guocheng nodded and threaded one of the hooks onto the fishing line.

He gave the rod a few swings, then sighed in amazement.

As a veteran fisherman, he had worn out many rods.

But with a rod in hand now, Lv Guocheng felt he could conquer the waters again!

Though bone hooks weren't as good as the original, Lv Guocheng sincerely praised them: "Very useful!"

With the hook issue resolved.

Chen Wen felt there was nothing much to do at camp.

He thought for a moment and said to Lv Guocheng, "Mr. Lv, let's go to the seaside tomorrow. You fish at the coral reef while I dive in to see if there's anything good."

"Lu, take a rest. You've been sunburnt bad these few days, it's been tough."

"Switch tasks with Hu, let him teach you how to fish with nets. Hu, teach Lu tonight, and we'll head to sea tomorrow."

Nobody objected to Chen Wen's job assignments.

Lu Heng even looked at Chen Wen with gratitude.

He had become the tanned one at camp the fastest these days.

After all, drifting at sea daily, even with the clothes-cover technique Chen Wen taught, wasn't enough.

Zhang Hu hesitated and said, "I'm not good at swimming, is that okay?"

"It's perfectly fine!"

Chen Wen gave a thumbs-up, lowered his voice, and said, "There will be a rescue team around; if you encounter danger, just call Mr. Jia for help."

"As long as there's rescue, it's fine."

Zhang Hu nodded, feeling quite reassured.

It's just that this Mr. Jia kind of sounds like a traitor.

...

The following day, the twenty-second day of survival.

Chen Wen carved the twenty-second mark on one of the main beams of the shelter with a dagger.

He ate, left the shelter, and went to the sea to push the bamboo raft into the water.

While talking, Chen Wen saw Mr. Jia and his speedboat again.

"Morning, Mr. Jia!"

Chen Wen greeted warmly as ever.

After Jia Pei politely responded, he turned toward his four subordinates.

"Don't want to write self-reviews anymore?"

The four shivered, shaking their heads eagerly.

Previously exchanging information about the triggerfish with Chen Wen led to the rescue team being criticized by the show crew.

Of course, it wasn't Chen Wen's fault.

The issue was someone reported that sharing information was considered an unfair act.

Jia Pei nodded, saying, "From now on, apart from me, don't talk to the contestants, got it?"

The four nodded in agreement.

"Alright, prepare to dive!"

...

Seeing the suddenly distant rescue team left Chen Wen confused.

What happened?

Weren't they all enthusiastic when eating sea urchins and chatting yesterday?

Just yesterday, when a diver invited Chen Wen to dive in Hainan Island after the show filming ended.

But today, it seemed to change?

Chen Wen shook his head but didn't force himself into the situation.

Instead, he communicated with Mr. Jia about Zhang Hu's average swimming skills, asking them to be extra careful.

Mr. Jia agreed to such a routine request.

After warming up.

Chen Wen arrived near the titan triggerfish nest.

He checked the direction, deciding to explore the northern side of the nest.

With a gulp, he dove underwater.

Chen Wen once again entered the vibrant underwater world.

This time, he wasn't in a rush to dive deep.

With the visual boost provided by the "fish eye," Chen Wen swam about a meter underwater.

He was simultaneously searching for fish he could hunt.

Passing by a group of clownfish.

Chen Wen avoided the school of fish, searching for his target.

Soon, he discovered it.

Sea snails.

A lot of sea snails.

Conchs, tiger cowries, fenhua snails...

There were also many shellfish.

It was practically a sea snail and shellfish gathering!

Chen Wen picked up some big conchs.

After all, they're large, meaty, and satisfying to eat.

He also picked up some small, unfamiliar snails to try his luck, seeing if there were any special finds.

Putting them in the small net bag he carried, Chen Wen surfaced for air.

Then dove again.

This time, Chen Wen wasn't planning to linger with the snails and shellfish.

He bypassed the coral reef and headed straight for deeper waters.

While swimming, Chen Wen casually flipped over the shells on the seabed.

But soon, he sensed something unusual.

He found many shells and snails were empty!

What's going on?

Chen Wen was stunned.

He was a bit worried there might be some hidden unknown creature.

And this unknown creature seemed particularly interested in snails and shells!

Chen Wen hesitated, deciding to surface for now and let Zhang Hu paddle the raft closer.

The two met up, and Chen Wen transferred his haul to Zhang Hu, instructing him to put them in the water bucket.

Afterward, Chen Wen took up his dagger and long spear and dove again.

This time, Chen Wen was feeling bolder; with no burdens, he decided to find the creature snacking on snails and shells.

Generally speaking, anything eating snails and shells would be quite big.

As he swam, Chen Wen reached a relatively flat coral reef floor.

He observed from above the reef, looking for prey.

Soon.

While observing a crevice in the coral reef,

he witnessed an intense chase!

The chase was between a giant moray eel and a large octopus.

Chen Wen crouched, hiding in the coral.

He carefully observed what was happening outside.

The moray eel wasn't swimming fast; it was like an elegant hunter, swiftly weaving through the coral reef, hunting for the octopus.

In contrast, the octopus appeared somewhat panicked.

It frantically squeezed into a crevice, trying to use the narrow space to escape the hunter's pursuit.

But the moray eel's slender body.

The coral reef's crevice was hardly an obstacle for it.

The octopus seemed to realize this.

As the moray eel approached its hiding spot, the octopus immediately released a thick cloud of ink, obscuring the moray eel's vision.

Taking advantage of the moray eel's temporary blindness, the octopus powerfully wriggled out of the crevice.

It swiftly swung its arms, darting through the water like an arrow.

Behind, the moray eel emerged from the mist, spotting the fleeing octopus.

In wrath, the moray eel quickly pursued.

But neither the octopus nor the moray eel.

Knew that right ahead of them.

A two-legged creature named Chen Wen was watching the scene, dumbfounded.

Whoa, witnessing a moray eel hunting an octopus.

Such a rare sight!

Even more exciting for Chen Wen was.

The route of the octopus's escape and the moray eel's pursuit just happened to pass by his location!

When the snipe and the clam are in a fight, it's the fisherman who profits!

The phrase flashed in Chen Wen's mind.

He quickly checked his equipment.

A long spear, a dagger, a net bag.

Take a risk, turn a bike into a motorcycle!

Chen Wen rapidly strategized, in under three seconds.

He came up with a clear plan.

Hunt the moray eel!
