Because of Yu Hongbo's illness, Ma Hua became Ye Yuan's designated boatswain. He did not expect that he would encounter such a situation when he led a team for the first time in his life.

For the safety of the crew, he also put away his usual cheerful smile and said with a serious face.

Ye Yuan stood outside the crowd and was shocked when he heard Ma Hua's voice. If it was really a poisonous sea snake, then things could be very serious if he was not careful.

Ye Yuan pushed through the crowd: "Stand back, let me take a look!" When everyone saw Ye Yuan coming, they quickly gave up their positions, and Ye Yuan easily reached the front.

Ma Hua played the role of boatswain very well. At this moment, he was holding a wooden stick and looking at the creature that looked like a sea snake.

When he saw Ye Yuan approaching, he did not forget to remind him: "Boss, be careful. I heard that the more beautiful these creatures are, the more poisonous they are!" After saying this, Ma Hua was still a little worried.

So he shouted loudly: "Mouse, go get the harpoon!" After hearing Ma Hua's instructions, Wu Hao quickly ran to the tool cabin.

No matter how everyone usually jokes, now that Ye Yuan has designated Ma Hua as the temporary boatswain.

The crew must follow Ma Hua's orders first. So when he heard Ma Hua say he wanted a harpoon, Wu Hao carried it out without even thinking.

Even Ye Yuan on the side was extremely depressed. He really couldn't laugh or cry at the moment. A moray eel could actually make his crew to the point where everything was in danger.

Ye Yuan angrily gave Ma Hua, who was still looking at Moray Eel, a shudder: "I usually tell you to read more books, but you just don't listen. This is not a sea snake at all!"

"Not a sea snake?" Ma Hua repeated Ye Yuan's words doubtfully. Ye Yuan stopped talking and looked carefully at this colorful moray eel, a creature that looked like a sea snake.

This is a colorful eel, also known as the large-mouthed eel, blue-body eel, and a fish of the genus Eelidae.

It is also known as the painted eel and the tube-nosed eel. It is native to the western Pacific and is now distributed in the coral reef waters of the western Pacific and China Bay Province. It is a tropical eel.

Its body is slender and slightly flattened, and its body length can reach more than 1 meter. The colorful eel has no scales on its body surface, smooth skin, well-developed dorsal and anal fins connected to the tail fin, and no pectoral and pelvic fins.

It is a very strange sea creature. They can morph into male and female, and their body color will also change as their body length increases.

The colorful eel's body is black when it is young. When it grows to 50 centimeters, it turns into a male and its body turns blue.

When it grows to 90 centimeters, its body turns yellow and it becomes a female fish. They usually like to hide in caves.

Whenever there is a current that brings a large amount of plankton, it will stretch out its body to peck at it. When swimming in the sea, it looks like flying ribbons, hence the name of the colorful eel.

Precisely because it looks very good when swimming in the water, it has become a very popular ornamental fish in the ornamental fish market in recent years.

"Is this an eel?" Ma Hua asked in surprise after hearing Ye Yuan's introduction. Ye Yuan nodded.

"But eels don't look like this, right?" Ma Hua murmured to himself.

"You don't know much. There is so much marine information on the ship. You don't even bother to study hard. You just hold your phone every day. What can you know?" Ye Yuan scolded with a smile.

But when Ye Yuan said this again, he felt very guilty. Not to mention Ma Hua, even he only remembered the information about the colorful eel long after seeing the colorful eel.

No way, this thing was not included in the textbooks when I was in school. The reason why it was not included is because on Blue Star, the positioning of colorful eels is still in the stage of debate.

Therefore, there is very little introduction to colorful eels in textbooks. As we all know, many creatures have their own inherent habits.

For example, it is nocturnal, gregarious, etc. The qualitative aspect of colorful eels is highly controversial among biologists.

Even today, no one can convince its opponents. In the past, biologists believed that the colorful eel was a nocturnal creature.

They will rest in their caves during the day and only come out to look for food at night. However, after field observations by many biologists.

People gradually discovered that there are many colorful eels that also eat during the day. Therefore, biologists hold different views.

There was endless debate over whether colorful eels are nocturnal creatures. Finally, an authoritative biologist came forward.

It is concluded that the colorful eel is a kind of categorization with no fixed habits. This conclusion is obviously not recognized by most people.

Even today, the debate about whether colorful eels are nocturnal creatures is still going on. The crew members have great trust in Ye Yuan's words.

When they looked at the colorful eel again, the fear on their faces was gone.

"I've been making trouble for a long time, but this is an ornamental moray eel? You guys still said it was a sea snake, I was scared to death!" You Zhiyong was the first to stand up and tease Ma Hua.

What he said caused countless people to burst into laughter. Only Wu Hao, who had just returned with the harpoon, looked stunned.

I was just trying to get a harpoon, so why did I seem to have missed something? Ye Yuan ignored the laughter of the crew.

He proved his previous statement with practical actions. Ye Yuan stretched out his hand and grasped the colorful eel.

Then he easily put it into the bucket handed over by Shi Xiaoming.

"Boss, is this thing worth anything? If it's not worth it, let's steam it for lunch!" Recalling the taste of conger eel meat, Ma Hua's mouth watered unknowingly.

Ye Yuan rolled his eyes at the foodie, then nodded and said: "The colorful eel is one of the most peculiar creatures in the ocean. In addition, its appearance is very beautiful, so it is also a very rare ornamental fish."

"Then forget it!" Ma Hua said bitterly. He knew it from Ye Yuan's happy expression.

It is probably impossible for him to eat this colorful eel. Ye Yuan ignored Ma Hua who was acting funny at the side, but said to Shi Xiaoming: "Xiao Ming, you can send this colorful eel to my cabin.

Don't kill it for me."

"Okay!" Shi Xiaoming agreed readily, then carefully carried the bucket and walked towards the cabin.

"Boss, are you planning to raise it yourself?" Ma Hua widened his eyes and looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief.

You know, no matter what precious ornamental fish they caught, Ye Yuan was not interested in raising them? What happened to the boss today?

Why do I have a soft spot for this colorful eel? Ye Yuan nodded and said without any concealment: "This thing is rare, and such a weird fish, it would be a pity to sell it." Although Ye Yuan said this

He said that, but what he was thinking in his heart was.

If such weird fish are not sent into space to reproduce, wouldn't it be a disservice to ourselves?
