As the clam fell into the bucket, Lin Yang continued searching forward. After catching a few spicy snails and Flower Shells, he soon discovered a new species, the Cat’s Eye Snail.
The Cat’s Eye Snail, scientifically known as Flat Jade Snail, can be found on Baidu. What is often referred to as the Cat’s Eye Snail there is actually a different snail.
This snail is also a favorite among marine bloggers for capturing, not for any special reason, but because it squirts water when squeezed, pulling its flesh back, which is quite interesting; hence, it is a common marine organism.
Although the numbers are certainly not as high as Flower Shells, spicy snails, or clams, their numbers are definitely considerable, otherwise, they wouldn’t be so common.
After unlocking the Flat Jade Snail, the reward increased slightly, by three hundred yuan plus 3 points of experience and points.
Although the rewards are relatively small, being able to gradually unlock more rewards and gaining more and more, he still found it very interesting.
Yue’er, who followed behind, felt the sa way. Being able to pick so many different little seafood items by hand, this kind of pleasure could really only be experienced at the beach, and the resources here were definitely richer than at most beaches.
Lin Yang continued along the rocks, quickly discovering plenty of fresh things such as mussels, which are called Sea Snails in the north, green mussels in the south, and also known as mussels in so places.
This creature secretes byssus to firmly attach itself to the rocks, and often, a large cluster of mussels would be stuck together, as was the case now.
However, Lin Yang did not pick too many, fearing that the small bucket he carried would not be able to hold them all, and also because these were not particularly tasty; he just took one to unlock a picture guide reward.
After receiving a two hundred yuan reward, he walked a few steps further and then saw oysters on another rock pile. Although the oysters here were small, they still unlocked a reward.
Next to the oysters, there were barnacles. Although they were not the well-known dog claw snail type, a picture guide reward was also unlocked. It must be said that the variety of marine life far exceeds that of land and freshwater, truly vast.
Surrounded by mussels, oysters, and barnacles, Lin Yang moved forward to a small puddle about 30 centiters deep, which surprisingly contained a lot, and he imdiately spotted two new species.
Sea urchins and sea stars!
Common types of sea urchins include two kinds, one is the Horse Manure Sea Urchin, a very common type, most of the sea urchins eaten today are Horse manure sea urchins.
The other is called the Fine Carving Sea Urchin, yes, that’s its peculiar na, also a common variety found nationwide, but this type of sea urchin is not eaten by people.
Similarly, for sea stars, there are two common types, one called the Hua Puqi Sea Star, the other known as the Five-pointed Sea Star. While catching these two sea stars, Lin Yang also discovered a shrimp, which definitely could not be allowed to escape!
So, in this small puddle, Lin Yang collected five new species.
While walking to the side, Lin Yang discovered another type of barnacle called Turtle Foot, which wasn’t worth much, but that didn’t hinder him from unlocking its picture guide.
