I Can Turn into a Fish Chapter 143

 "Sail!" Chu Xian stood on deck and gestured impressively, and the ship quickly sailed into the distance .

The fishermen on the dock watched the ship sailing away with jealousy and grief in their hearts . What a waste of a good ship!

Lying on his chair, Chu Xian watched as the sea floated by .

Very soon, the fishing ship arrived at the seaweed area and the mermen went to Chu Xian's side .

"Safety first . If you encounter any open brain corals, mark the positions," Chu Xian told them .

"Yes, sir!" The mermen nodded and jumped into the sea .

The retrieval process began . Chu Xian made adequate preparations this time and brought more than thirty fish tanks . He was prepared to get enough materials for three to four hundred sea tanks this time .

As time went by, jellyfish, little shrimps and Christmas Tree Worms were transported back to the ship by Sword One and Sword Two .

With their experience from last time, everything was done more efficiently, and they filled all the fish tanks in three hours .

After the basic things were collected, Chu Xian dove into the ocean and traveled to each of the open brain corals . He killed the box jellyfish and had the mermen bring the coral back .

"Another seven to eight million RMB . " Chu Xian looked at the various materials stored in the tanks and smiled . A few more trips and he would have earned back the investment he made on the ship .

"It's only a little past twelve now; we can wander around!" Chu Xian checked the time . He pointed randomly as he said, "Old Mu, let's explore . Try to find fish and practice fishing . "

"Okay, boss!" Old Mu nodded then sailed the ship into the distance .

Chu Xian jumped into the sea and caught some lobsters and bass for lunch .

"Boss, there are two fishing ships one nautical mile in front of us!" Old Mu walked over and interrupted his meal .

"That's fine, keep sailing!" Chu Xian shook his head without a care .

"Wuwu, wuwu!" Shortly after, the two fishing ships signaled them with their whistles .

Chu Xian was startled and looked over at the other ships .

"Boss, they're saying that this is their spot and that we should leave!" Old Mu said loudly .

"Their spot?" Chu Xian said with some confusion and quickly activated his sonar abilities .

"En?" After a moment, he could see the other fishing ships clearly .

"They're . . . ?" Chu Xian's eyes opened wide . The two ships were busy netting, but they weren't netting fish .

He could clearly see a dozen or so turtles struggling in their nets .

"Turtles are protected by the country; how are they so bold?" Chu Xian frowned then turned his attention to their deck . They were drying shark fins under the sun, and beside the mats were carcasses . The whole ship was bloody .

"Sharks?" Chu Xian's face color changed . China didn't really approve of shark hunting, and some sharks were listed as protected animals .

"Catching turtles and sharks . How reckless . Are they not worried that someone will come after them?" Chu Xian thought with some confusion .

Shark fin was a very famous dish, and eating shark meat was said to increase resistance against cancer since sharks were the only type of animal that didn't get cancer .

They also served as an aphrodisiac for men, as shark meat was said to help boost their sex performance, so there was a high market demand for sharks .

But shark meat had a strong smell and needed to be cleaned well .

And turtles were even more famous . There was a dish made of turtle meat in the famous Qing and Han Royal Dynasty Feast, and turtles also had great medicinal value . You could make medicinal alcohol out of them .

But in the modern day, turtles were forbidden on the market and there was no fixed price, but their worth on the black market was probably considerably high .

"Forget it!" Chu Xian shook his head . These people hunted and killed without fear . They were no ordinary fishermen, and he didn't want the inconvenience of dealing with them .

"Old Mu, sail away!" Chu Xian ordered directly .

"Yes, sir!" Old Mu nodded . He whistled twice, signaled then turned the ship around .

"Eh?"

Suddenly, Chu Xian made a surprised noise . With his sonar abilities, he could see five or six of the turtles breaking free from the net .

Three of them were heading towards the Mermaid .

It wasn't clear if the turtles were scared or if there were other reasons, but they didn't dive down towards the seafloor . Instead, they swam at a middling depth . Maybe they thought humans couldn't find them, but they were exposed under his ultrasonic abilities .

Chu Xian wasn't surprised when the two fishing ships quickly pulled up their fishing nets and sailed after the three turtles .

The turtles were quite fast . They were generally considered quick swimmers and could reach speeds of up to thirty kilometers per hour .

The two fishing ships sailed quickly in their direction . Although they weren't as big as his fishing ship, they were much faster . Obviously, they were custom made!

"They're going to crash!" Chu Xian gauged the distance as the turtles swam quickly and the ships sailed over .

The three turtles might've finally felt the ripples from the surface of the ocean and they finally swam downwards .

"Wuwuwuwu!" The two fishing ships whistled again and Chu Xian frowned .

"Boss, they signaled us again and told us to quickly get out of this area!" Old Mu called out again .

"Telling us to leave?" Chu Xian's expression turned cold . "Tell them to get out of here!"

"They really think we're pushovers - telling us to leave twice!" Chu Xian looked at the two fishing ships . Out on the sea, he wasn't looking for trouble, but he wasn't afraid of trouble either . After all, the sea was their domain!

Old Mu followed Chu Xian's orders, sending out Chu Xian's words verbatim: get out of here!

Disaster and Shipwreck received the message Old Mu sent!

"F***, does this f***ing ship want to die? Go! If those turtles escape, we'll have them pay!" On Shipwreck, a big guy heard their message and spat viciously .

"Yes, let's teach them a lesson and show them not to mess with Disaster!" A middle-aged man nodded .

"Captain, this fishing ship is new . They probably haven't heard of us yet!" The helmsman laughed .  

"They'll learn . " The big guy grinned and licked his lips . "Don't chase the turtles - let them pay for our loss!" 

"Okay, I'll signal Shipwreck . " The helmsan nodded then sent out a signal . The two fishing ships sailed towards Chu Xian .
