Chapter 741: Map of Black Gold Abalone Habitat

The small yacht was equipped with an outboard motor. The yacht sailed on the sea accompanied by the sound of its engine.

Li Du laid prostrate on the balustrade of the bow of the yacht. The bow of the yacht cut through the seawater, and with the sea water splashing up, Li Du was wet in no time

Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and Crispy Noodles simply didn't like the environment and rushed into the cabin to escape the water splashing onto the boat.

To take the three on board, Li Du spent another 200 AUD, and if they urinated on the boat, he would have to pay the owner an extra 1,000 AUD to clean up the mess.

Seeing the boat go far out over the ocean, Li Du turned to the shore, wagged his fingers, and said to the owner, ”Hey, Robinson, can you try to sail along the beach?”

The owner of the boat had set up the autopilot. He poked his head out and responded, ”Around the beach? Would you like to see the seaside view of King Island? I know a good place on the sea for fishing, and I want to take you there.”

”Go around the island first,” said Li Du. ”Slow down, not so fast. I want to enjoy the view.”

”Yes, sir.” The owner of the yacht shrugged. ”But I must tell you that it will cost at least a thousand dollars to make this turn! If we go straight to the fishing spot and stop there, then we only would use 500 AUD for the trip out and back.”

There were a lot of rocks along the coast, so a small yacht couldn't go straight around the island. It would need to change its course constantly. In that case, it needed to travel at a different distance from the shore, which would consume more fuel.

Li Du didn't care about the money. He wanted to see the habitat of the abalone there.

Lying in the bow, he released the little bug and let it fly into the water. Then he began to quickly scan the ocean floor.

The boat slowed down and slowly moved forward. The little bug moved at full speed in the water, sweeping a large area before following the boat.

The life on the seabed around the golden island was more abundant. The reefs under the sea were uneven. There was coral nearby. The beautiful coral lifted up the sea and made it colorful.

Small shrimp and crabs came and went in and out of the crevices. Some coral had sea urchins, turtles, and large fish appear from time to time and then head out into the deep water.

Australia's offshore waters were home to some of the world's richest populations of life, and its fish were interesting, ranging in color from bright gold to dull gray and black.

The bottom of the sea was covered with fine sand. Because the sea was clean, the sand on the bottom of the sea was cleaner than it was on land.

The little bug met a turtle the size of a pot cover. The turtle swam quickly in the water. A few white jellyfish came by floating in front of it. The turtle popped out its head and swallowed them easily.

A rock suddenly moved. Li Du looked at it in surprise. It was not a reef, it was a fish. It was a famous grouper.

Biodiversity at the bottom of the sea was wonderful, but there was none of the black gold abalone he needed.

However, he was not disappointed, nor impatient. For the first time, he had seen life on the ocean floor, and he was amazed at the spectacular scenery.

The boat continued on its way to the northeast corner of the island where a large shell swung past the little bug's view.

Li Du was stunned and then reacted. Was that a black gold abalone?

He had the little bug go back and look at it. Sure enough, it was a big black gold abalone that could be harvested.
