Seeing this description, some people might find it hard to visualize. Let's put it this way: during summer, everyone has tried those spicy stir-fried snails at street stalls, right? The owner would use a pair of pliers to slightly crack the snail's tail so it absorbs more flavor, making it easier to suck out the snail meat and juices with your mouth.
What Zhang Yang is doing now is the same technique as the snail stall owner, except he only has a small pair of scissors, so the efficiency isn't as high due to the limited tools.
After making an opening in the snail's tail, Zhang Yang checked the snail's activity level to confirm it was fine, then hooked it onto the fishing hook. Raising his arm, his wrist flicked, and once again, he cast the fishing setup into the target spot.
"The snails in the nest should be almost consumed, let's try the processed one!" Zhang Yang murmured to himself as if he was casting a spell.
