Coconut crab?
Could it be that there's an unexpected discovery?
Tang Chen looked at the torn coconut on the ground, stood up, and said: "This time... you're in for a treat. I didn't expect there to be coconut crabs here!"
“Coconut crab? What's a coconut crab?"
Yang Mi and Liu Tian Xian asked, their faces full of curiosity.
“Coconut crabs are the largest land crabs in the world.”
Tang Chen told them: "Coconut crabs are very big, even ordinary ones can reach over a few kilograms!"
“Coconut crabs love to eat coconuts. They have extremely strong pincers, capable of easily 'tearing' coconuts apart!”
“To put it another way, if you are popular stars in the entertainment industry, then coconut crabs are the 'stars' of the crab world!”
“Because coconut crabs love to eat coconuts, they also have a strong coconut aroma, and they are very delicious, a delicacy that many gourmands crave!”
“However, this is a limited-edition delicacy, with only a small number of regions having coconut crabs!”
“So, it's quite lucky that we encountered them on this island this time!”
Tang Chen observed the footprints of the coconut crab on the ground while explaining the information about it to them.
However, because coconut crabs like to come out to forage at night, they are difficult to see during the day.
“The star of the crab world?”
Liu Tian Xian’s eyes widened instantly: “That’s incredible! I’ve only heard of king crabs and emperor crabs before. I never knew there were coconut crabs!”
“Yeah!” Reba said excitedly: "Coconut-flavored crabs, this is the first time I've heard of it!"
The most common types of crabs they’ve heard of are king crabs, followed by emperor crabs.
This rare coconut crab is also the first time they’ve heard of it.
However, they just happened to encounter them.
If they hadn’t come to collect coconuts, they might not have discovered the coconut crab’s presence.
Liu Shi Shi looked around and asked doubtfully: "Captain, why don't we see the coconut crab around? I really want to see what they look like..."
Hearing her question, Tang Chen said to her: "Coconut crabs are generally nocturnal, they like to come out at night to forage and are rarely seen during the day!"
“Oh, that’s why!” Liu Shi Shi realized: "Then... Captain, how about I accompany you out at night to catch coconut crabs?"
“Okay, as long as you’re not afraid of the dark, I’ll take you to catch them!" Tang Chen glanced at her and nodded.
It’s just that it would be a little boring to go out alone at night. With Liu Shi Shi accompanying him, it would be better.
After talking about coconut crabs, Tang Chen turned his attention back to the coconut tree in front of him.
Since he had already decided to pick a few coconuts, he had to try it.
He first put on a pair of shoes with strong friction, then put his dagger in his waist and climbed up the coconut tree next to him.
Initially, he thought he would find it difficult to climb.
But after getting on the coconut tree, he discovered that his movements were very easy.
He just needed to use his climbing skills to continuously climb up the trunk.
Tang Chen’s movements were agile and strong, like a nimble monkey leaping through the forest.
As he climbed higher, he carefully searched for footholds, each step was so steady.
After a short while, he arrived at the bottom of a bunch of coconuts.
Above him were a bunch of lush coconuts and thick branches.
The leaves of the coconut tree were emerald green, like a giant feather fan.
As the breeze gently swayed, it cast dappled shadows.
Tang Chen looked at the coconuts in front of him, took a deep breath, and tied the safety rope around his waist to the coconut tree.
Then, he steadily drew out the dagger from his waist, aimed at the tempting coconut fruit, and slashed down!
“Bang——”
With a crisp sound, the coconut fell.
It landed precisely on the pile of coconut husks prepared by Yang Mi and Liu Tian Xian earlier.
As the first coconut fell, Tang Chen swung his dagger again.
Soon, one coconut after another fell in succession.
Before long, the coconuts were neatly arranged under the shade of the tree by the female stars.
The air was filled with the fresh aroma of coconuts, a pure taste of nature.
“Captain, there are so many, we’ve already got enough to eat!”
Liu Tian Xian and Reba carefully arranged the coconuts, looked up and shouted to Tang Chen.
“How many have we picked?”
Tang Chen looked down at the situation on the ground and asked.
“Reporting Captain, there are already over a dozen!” Reba raised her hands to use them as a megaphone and shouted to Tang Chen: “It's enough for us to eat for days!"
There were plenty of coconuts on the island. If they wanted to eat them, they could come and collect them anytime.
“Alright!”
Tang Chen replied, grabbed his safety rope, and slowly descended to the ground.
“Wow, Captain, did you see your moves just now?”
As soon as Tang Chen landed, he was grabbed by Yang Mi next to him.
“My moves?”
“Yeah!” Yang Mi said admiringly: “Your moves were clean and swift, more fluid than the martial arts actors in those movies!”
Then, as if she remembered something: “Right, our company is about to start filming an action movie. Captain, are you interested?”
“Action movie?” Tang Chen frowned, staring at her and asked: “What action movie? Is it that kind of action movie?”
