After failing the college entrance examination, I relied on fishing to reach the top of my life

Black coral is also called sea willow.

Even though it looks like a tree on land, it is actually a coelenterate.

It is still light and soft when in the water, but once it comes out of the water, it will quickly turn dark brown, and then their texture will become extremely tough.

Therefore, jewelry or ornaments made of black coral have the characteristics of being impervious to water and not damaged by fire.

And because of its slow growth, it can only grow a few millimeters a year, so it has been a noble plaything loved by emperors and generals since ancient times.

Interestingly, if this magical underwater creature is placed at home, once it is about to rain, its originally shiny surface will become dull and it will secrete a stream of mucus, almost like a natural weather observatory. .

Moreover, its branches and leaves can also be used as medicine and can treat many diseases. Even pipes and cigarette holders made of black coral can refresh the throat and moisturize the lungs.

It can be said that this thing is full of treasures and very precious!

Therefore, since modern times, countless fishermen and commercial companies have been eager to exploit the black coral along the coast. This thing grows slowly, so how can it withstand such crazy harvesting?

Therefore, at this age, it is difficult to see traces of wild black coral in offshore waters.

But driven by high profits, some people are still willing to take risks to search for natural black corals in the deep sea.

This has also caused its price to rise all the way. Nowadays, one kilogram of natural black coral raw materials can be sold for thousands on the market, and this is just an ordinary product. If it is a top-grade golden sea willow, the price is really high. scary.

The piece of black coral that Su Mo discovered now stretches for tens of meters. At a glance, it is impossible to count how many trees there are. As the sea water flows, they sway lightly, like a "coral sea" .

Seeing this, Su Mo was overjoyed. He didn't expect that although he didn't find the sunken ship this time, he found this natural seabed treasure instead!

What a blessing in disguise!

He quickly swam towards the "coral sea", and when he got nearby, he realized how exaggerated the black coral was.

Although they vary in size, almost all are 2 meters high, and a few are even as high as 4 meters. Su Mo even saw one that was 5 meters high!

As mentioned before, this kind of coral grows slowly, and it takes more than 1 years to grow to 200 meter high, which means that it will take at least nearly a thousand years for this 5-meter-high black coral to grow like this.

"If we do this, we will make a fortune!"

"The main business of my mother-in-law's company is to make art, but it lacks good products or gimmicks. If I take this 5-meter black coral back and find a master sculptor to make it into a decoration, I'm afraid it will sell for a sky-high price. !”

"Not only will it turn a loss into a profit, I'm afraid it will also make her a huge profit!"

"And since my fishing ground can support all kinds of fish, can I also bring back black coral to raise it?"

Thinking of this, Su Mo decided to write down the coordinates here after going up. Next time he goes to sea, he will bring the seawater from Hengsha Fishing Ground and implement his transplant plan.

But now, he decided to get some good quality black corals first.

Just go ahead and do it. Su Mo aimed at a black coral that was more than three meters long, stretched out his hands to hold the trunk, and pulled it out with all his strength.

But the coral remained motionless.

"It's very strong!"

Su Mo complained in his mind, then he took out the tools from his backpack and began to clean the base of the coral. Although it looked like a tree, it was actually stuck to the rocks on the seabed.

But after years of erosion, it is now almost integrated with the rock.

But this was not a problem for Su Mo. His hand speed was super fast and he cleaned up the impurities on the base in a short time. Then he pulled out the black coral with a strong pull.

Su Mo weighed the coral in his hand. Under the effect of buoyancy, it was not particularly heavy, but he knew that as long as it was brought ashore, it could be sold for tens or even hundreds of thousands.

"This speed of making money is so exciting!"

So he immediately took out the prepared rope from his backpack, tied a knot on the coral branch, and then ran towards the next target.

In this way, with Su Mo's unremitting efforts, he pulled up more than a dozen black corals in one go.

Even though he had amazing physical strength, he was a little tired at this time.

"One more tree and it's over!"

Su Mo decided like this, and then swam towards the next black coral. Just when he was about to clean up the debris at the base in the same way, he suddenly found a cluster of slightly different corals nearby.

Unlike black coral, this small cluster of coral is very short, the tallest is only 1 meter, and there are not many in number, only about a dozen. Su Mo couldn't spot them at first because they were blocked by tall black corals.

And these corals are actually golden! The body also has a metallic luster, and when illuminated by the light source of the surrounding microorganisms, it emits a yellow halo.

"Is this...is this golden coral?"

Su Mo's eyes suddenly widened. If he hadn't been in the sea, he would have been dancing excitedly and cheering loudly.

If black coral is a precious raw material, then gold coral can be said to be a rare treasure!

They grow more slowly than black coral, and can only grow a few micrometers a year. A one-meter-tall tree like this one may take thousands of years to grow like this.

Moreover, in the international market, most deep-sea gold corals are produced in Midway Island near Hawaii, and the resources are very limited.

This also contributes to its unparalleled price. There are even cases of black coral being decolorized and passed off as gold coral on the market, which is enough to prove the rarity and preciousness of gold coral.

"God, you really care about me!"

Su Mo clenched his fists in excitement. Not long after he discovered the black coral, the golden coral appeared again. This was so exciting!

He couldn't wait to dig out two golden corals and used ropes to connect them with the previous black corals into a long string.

"That's almost it. Let's do this much first!"

Su Mo decided to stop there. After all, if the number of valuable things increases, the value will plummet.

Just like when he was in elementary school, he heard that oil was only enough for 50 years. However, when he grew up and became a social animal, the same rhetoric was still used in the news...

To put it bluntly, it is just an excuse to increase prices.

So he planned to get these corals back and sell them little by little, so as to maximize the profits.

Thinking of this, Su Mo coiled the rope with corals around his waist and prepared to pull them up.

As a result, as soon as he lifted his feet, he tripped over something and almost fell directly into the coral tree.

"Damn it, what the hell tripped me!"

Su Mo swore angrily and kicked him, but the kick hit something hard, which caused a bit of pain to his foot.

"Hey, is there anything else?"
