Chapter 45
“The market price for this lobster can hit more than $1,000 . The unit price is more expensive than the Australian Lobster . ”
Ornate Spiny lobsters were of the highest value within the domestic waters, followed by the Chinese lobsters (a name of a lobster) .
“You will control this lobster and continue with the search . ”
Wang Xian commanded the Clam Girl and continued the search in their surroundings .
The colors of the surrounding corals were very close to that of the lobsters . Hence, it was not easy to spot them . If the lobsters remained still and hidden among the coral reefs, it would not be easy to spot them .
After all, Wang Xian was only a tiny Divine Dragon . Without Divine Sense, he could not scan and check the surrounding situation .
“Should I upgrade my eyes with Dragon Energy so that they can have the Byakugan effect in Naruto’s anime?” [1]
Wang Xian pondered to himself . He could use Dragon Energy to upgrade and strengthen any parts of his body, including the eyes . However, it would require a lot of Dragon Energy to do so .
After some considerations, he gave up . His current level was too low, and he had too little of Dragon Energy .
Wang Xian observed the surrounding with his sharp eyes . Some of the colorful fish were swimming around him .
“There is a lobster over there . It should be the Painted Spiny lobster . The price for this is about $300 per catty . Not too low for it . ”
The Dragon Power enveloped the area, and Wang Xian commanded that Painted Spiny lobster to swim over .
Looking at the 20-centimeters lobster, a smile surfaced on Wang Xian’s face .
Perhaps the lobsters here were suitable to supply for the use of his restaurant .
“Hmm, there is a Conger eel . ”
A cold smile surfaced when Wang Xian saw an eel roaming slowly between the corals .
That was a Level-two eel which was smaller than the previous one just now .
He swam over and devoured the eel which did not put up even the slightest resistance .
“Carry on with the search . ”
One by one, Wang Xian found the lobsters and caught 20 of them . All of them were controlled by the ability of the Clam Girl .
“It only took about half an hour to catch 20 of them from this corner of the area . This entire zone with reefs and rocks seems like a treasure land . ”
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Wang Xian’s eyes . He moved forward and saw a huge coral reef in front of him .
The entire reef was protruding out from the seabed for about five meters, and it was covered with colorful corals .
“We should be able to find lobsters over there . ”
With a swift movement, Wang Xian swam over . When he was over there, he was stunned .
Filled in between the crevices of the coral reefs were at least a few dozen lobsters, including Painted Spiny lobster, Ornate Spiny lobsters, and Chinese lobsters .
“Among those, the biggest lobsters are Ornate Spiny lobsters . That must be at least 5 to 6 catties . This is a breeding ground for lobsters . ”
It was difficult to come across Ornate Spiny lobsters of such a size for decades . This was a region that had yet to be fish by anyone . As such, the number of lobsters here was beyond his expectation .
Wang Xian was thrilled . With a jerk forward, he enveloped the area with his Dragon Energy and commanded the lobsters to follow behind .
As the lobsters were moving slowly, Wang Xian had to reduce his speed too .
He continued to swim forward and spotted a larger reef area ahead .
“Based on the experience just now, that might be a breeding ground for the lobsters . ”
Wang Xian’s eyes brightened up as he led the lobsters to the coral reef .
“Hur? This is…!”
When he arrived at that reef, he was stunned by what he saw . Not many lobsters resided here .
Instead, it was an Ornate Spiny lobster . Beside this lobster was a Conger eel and it was even larger than the one he met previously .
The Conger eel was about 3 . 5 meters long and was considered to be a giant Conger eel .
Its body was bulky and looked like an underwater monster .
However, the eel was not the only one that shocked him . There was an Ornate Spiny lobster as well .
The size of the lobster of at least 1 . 5 meters was beyond his expectation .
In history, the largest lobster recorded was only 1 . 2 meters at 40 catties .
The Ornate Spiny lobster before him should weigh about 50 catties at least .
Its body seemed durable and robust, especially the pair of colorful lobster claws which looked like a sharp weapon .
The colorful body seemed exceptionally noble too . However, this lobster was a little terrified as it was confronting the Conger eel before it .
Conger eel: Level Four
Extractable Dragon Energy: 548
Ornate Spiny lobster: Level Three
Extractable Dragon Energy: 346
“A Level-four Conger eel and a Level-three lobster!”
Wang Xian was shocked by this terrifying Conger eel . Not even any of the ordinary sharks would dare to provoke it . This Level-three Ornate Spiny lobster was also out of his knowledge .
“The ocean is really amazing; occupying a 70% surface area of Earth and with areas that were unknown to mankind . Besides that, various unbelievable species can be found in it . ”
Just as Wang Xian exclaimed, the giant Conger eel struck at the Ornate Spiny lobster swiftly .
The giant Ornate Spiny lobster lifted its claws hastily and lurched forward .
Sst!
At this time, the body of the Conger eel gave off blinding blue sparks .
The Ornate Spiny lobster retreated speedily as it was fearful of the blue sparks .
The Conger eel spun its heavy body around and lurched forward again .
This time, the Ornate Spiny lobster raised its claws and clamped at the eel’s body .
“What is the value of such a large lobster? It could be the greatest asset of the restaurant . ”
Wang Xian stared at the Ornate Spiny lobster with bright eyes . On seeing the offensive Conger eel, he moved his body and attacked it .
Roar!
Before the Conger eel could launch its attack, it quickly turned around and glared coldly at Wang Xian who struck .
Wang Xian did not care . He was not afraid of a Level-four Conger eel .
Bang, bang, bang!
The Conger eel looked at Wang Xian with fear . Yet, its eyes were full of greed . With its body flashing with blue lights, it swept out to Wang Xian .
“If the voltage from a Level-three Conger eel can cause numbness, the voltage from a Level-four Conger eel should be much stronger . ”
Wang Xian moved away and dodged the attack from the Conger eel . He extended out his claws and scratched the body of the eel .
Sst!
The sharp claws drew a long and bloody mark on the body .
Roar!
The Conger eel spun its head fiercely and rapidly . It opened its mouth which was full of teeth and bit on Wang Xian .
Wang Xian raised its claws and charged forward .
Crack!
At the same time, blue sparks were flickering from the mouth of the Conger eel .
Wang Xian was startled and ducked quickly .
Shoo!
Just then, he saw a water ball fired right into the mouth of the Conger eel .
Wang Xian was slightly stunned . He knew it was the Clam Girl who had made her move . With a swift movement, the dragon claws grabbed the Conger eel by its neck . He opened the dragon mouth and bit down .
Extracted 548 Dragon Energy .
Wang Xian revealed a smile on his face . He looked at the Ornate Spiny lobster again with a sudden thought .
The lobster was fleeing in horror when it saw Wang Xian swallow the mighty Conger eel in one gulp .
“Don’t think of escaping, Little Lobster . Seeing that you’re gifted by nature, I’ll keep you as one of my Crawfish Soldiers!”
