Chapter 735: Monsters
Zhang Zi'an grew up in Binhai Mayor, and he often went to the beach to play, and he had the impression that he could occasionally encounter starfish and sea urchins on the beach, but he seemed to have never heard of such a dense appearance in the same area.
He glanced worriedly at the octopus that had squeezed itself back into the crevice of the reef after predation, and turned back to Pegasus and shouted, "Be careful when you come here, some animals in this place may be dangerous, don't touch them!"
The sound was blown far away by the sea breeze, and Pemmas called out in response.
Richard stopped making noise and jumped from his hood to his shoulder, gazing curiously at the increasingly dense and strange sea creatures beneath his feet.
"Quack, you idiot, be careful, Uncle Ben doesn't want to collect your corpse!"
Zhang Zi'an was even more worried about where Xinghai had gone, the cape had already walked halfway, but he didn't find its shadow.
As for the unknown elf, he couldn't even spare his hands to look at his phone now, and it was already difficult to maintain his balance with his hands just on the slippery rock.
"Stop!" exclaimed Richard, suddenly, "what's that disgusting thing on the left, don't step on it!
Zhang Zi'an's attention was mostly on his feet to prevent him from slipping. He stopped and looked in the direction Richard had indicated.
He didn't see anything at first, but then a mollusk about the color of sea sand suddenly moved.
The mollusk crawled on the edge of the puddle with its wriggling body, covered in stiff bristles, and its body was fat and flattened, like a hairy slug. It is not small, about the size of half a small arm of an adult woman, and it is estimated to weigh at least two or three pounds.
Its body is yellow with a whitish tinge, while its bristles are bright golden yellow.
The most terrifying thing is that it has a very strange gray-black head, with no eyes on the head, but a huge mouth that is disproportionate to the size of the head, and two pairs of triangular sharp teeth on the upper and lower sides of the mouth, which makes people shudder.
Richard's description was correct, this thing is really disgusting.
Zhang Zi'an squatted down, looked at it carefully several times, took a breath and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this creature has appeared in the "Rare Pet Illustrated Book", and people generally call them sea caterpillars, but their scientific name is the scaly sand silkworm. The scaly silkworm is not too rare, it is classified in many seas around the world, but the one in front of us seems to be a rare subspecies discovered by scientists in the icy waters of Antarctica in 2012, called the 'giant sea scale worm'!"
"Can't you see that this disgusting thing is not small, but isn't it in the South Pole? How did it come here? It's not far from the North Pole. Richard asked in fuss.
"I don't know. Zhang Zi'an shook his head, "Maybe this animal also exists in the Arctic, but it hasn't been discovered yet." ”
Richard fluttered his wings and flew over his shoulder, hovering over the giant sea scale worm for weeks.
"Danger! Don't get close!" Zhang Zi'an reminded eagerly.
As soon as Richard heard him shout, he immediately instinctively flapped his wings and pulled up the height.
At this moment of lightning, the giant sea scale insect that seemed to be slow suddenly opened its mouth wide, and its brown hard teeth suddenly grew five centimeters from the original base, and it bit at Richard!
Richard could almost hear the rattle of the upper and lower jawbones as they snapped.
Fortunately, it flew high in advance, otherwise it would definitely be able to bite through its body this time!
A few feathers fell, and it was so frightened that it quickly flew back to Zhang Zi'an's shoulder, never daring to approach this terrible monster again.
Zhang Zi'an was also so frightened that he almost thought he was going to lose this cheap bird.
"It's grandma's! Uncle Ben had calculated the height accurately, and thought it couldn't bite it, so he flew over, but its teeth could still grow wildly? Uncle Ben had never even heard of such a monster in the world!"
Richard was terrified, chattering and talking to vent his inner horror.
"This animal is like this, its teeth can be retracted, and other animals are eating on its plate because of your mentality. Zhang Zi'an said, "In addition, its golden bristles are also poisonous. ”
Richard's claws clasped tightly around his shoulders, a little relieved, "But Uncle Ben was so close just now, but he didn't see whether this monster was male or female?"
"Being both male and female, they are hermaphrodites. Zhang Zi'an explained.
"Gynohny," Richard exclaimed, "no wonder they look disgusting like this, and they probably dislike their kind!"
Although this giant sea scale insect has no eyes, it can feel the flow and vibration of sea water and air with countless bristles on its body, as well as Zhang Zi'an's footsteps and speech.
It felt that Zhang Zi'an's size was much larger than the reckless bird just now, and it felt that it was in danger, so it squirmed its body to find the seawater, trying to escape.
"Quack! It's going to run away, are you going to watch it? It's not bad to get it back as a gimmick, aren't you going to open an aquarium too, how about being the first resident? Since this monster was only discovered in 2012, it shouldn't be on the International List of Endangered Animals, right?"
Richard was quite frightened just now, and now the fox fake tiger wants to take revenge, and he can't sit back and watch the giant sea scale insect escape.
"It's true that it's not on the list of endangered animals, because very little is known about this creature, and it is not even clear what their population is. ”
Zhang Zi'an nodded, he was also hesitating what to do with this giant sea scale insect.
Although it looks disgusting and dangerous, it is extremely rare after all, and letting it go like this is tantamount to destroying the heavens, and embezzlement and waste are great crimes.
After thinking about it, since he came to Germany, whether in Berlin or here, Karl and Reina, father and daughter, have taken good care of him, and he has not had time to thank him.
The old man who has run a pet shop all his life likes to hunt for strange animals, why don't you catch this giant sea scale insect and give it to Carl?
In addition, there is one thing he has not been embarrassed to say, that is, the aquarium equipment produced in Germany is well-known all over the world, and he wants Karl to help him get a batch of German famous brand aquarium equipment.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
Marine life is very delicate, because the ocean is the largest ecosystem in the world, moving marine life from the sea into a cramped aquarium, they will inevitably not adapt, and need to have perfect aquarium equipment to maintain their life.
However, he refused to catch this monster with his hands, and it hurt to be bitten or stung.
He pulls out his phone and sees the 5 normal pet slots that the Pet Hunter game provides, and they are finally going to come in handy.
