In Ye Yuan's understanding, humanity still had no particularly effective way to make a Red Tide disappear.

They generally had to rely on nature's ability to regulate itself.

As they sailed through that blood-red stretch of sea, schools of dead fish floated across the surface.

After traveling for around three hours, they finally left the Red Tide zone. Ye Yuan looked at the sea, which had regained its vitality.

The fishing boat continued onward. During that time, Ye Yuan hauled in two nets, both filled with commercially valuable fish.

Just as Ye Yuan was preparing to end the day's fishing, he sensed countless sea crabs migrating along the seabed. He immediately ordered every crew member except Ding Yi to go into the water and catch the migrating crabs.

For no other reason than that they were Tiger Head Crabs, which had only become popular in recent years.

Tiger Head Crabs got their name because they resembled tiger heads. In the past, these sea crabs had only cost a few yuan per jin, but those weighing over half a jin now sold for 150 to 200 yuan per jin.
