Chapter 427 Hagfish and lampreys
The so-called eight-eyed eel is actually a lamprey. The reason why it is called the eight-eyed eel is because the seven cheek holes behind its eyes are also mistaken for eyes.
Although it looks like an eel, the eight-eye eel is not really an eel, to be precise, it is not a fish, it is a very ancient sea creature that has existed on the earth for at least 300 million years. Earlier than the dinosaursγγγγγ
The lamprey gets its name from the fact that it has seven plugs on each side of the back of its eyes. The slender appearance is indeed very similar to that of an eel, but its most important feature is that its mouth is like a round suction cup, and there are circles of teeth distributed inside, which can suck large fish.
Their feeding method is also disgusting, that is, they suck the big fish with their mouths, and then file the fish with their teeth, suck their flesh and blood, and can suck a piece of food into only a pile of skeletons! The corpses of those dead sea beasts are also their food, and they eat them all regardless of whether they live or die. It's scary to eat. It is the natural enemy of all fish farmers, known as water vampires, once the target is found, it sucks the victim's body with a sucker, gnaws the flesh and blood, and even burrows into the body from the gills of the fish, what salmon, cod, basking sharks, whale sharks, and even great white sharks are deeply affected by it, this jawless animal is more ferocious than jawed animals, and is a terrible fish killer!
What's even more terrifying is that apart from humans, it has almost no natural predators, only it eats other creatures, and no other creatures eat itγγγγγ
Of course, despite its ugly appearance, it also has medicinal properties and is very effective in treating night blindness. And because it has no hard bones in the whole body, only cartilage, and is also called 'small crispy bones', because of the high oil content, resulting in the elasticity of the fish meat but not lacking in delicateness, in some places, sea lamprey, is a sky-high delicacy, such as France, Spain, Portugal, and even in the plastic surgery country and the country of the Japanese, lamprey is also in short supply, the former English king Henry I, because he ate a lot of stewed lamprey, died on the toilet, this is the highest state of food!
Xiao Peng just didn't understand this, he didn't understand why they were willing to eat this thing, in Xiao Peng's eyes, this was a fat and big maggotγγγγγγ Especially when eating, how can anyone like to eat this thing?
But no matter how expensive these things are, Xiao Peng will not bring them into his own fishing grounds. It's just because this guy's damage to the fish is too great. Just like the basking shark in front of him, more than a dozen lampreys are densely attached to it, and the length is about one meter. The basking shark was so excited just now, it should have wanted to get rid of the lamprey on its body.
It's a pity that it thinks too much, the lamprey's mouth is too powerful, and it wants to swim around to get rid of them?
Xiao Peng didn't even think about it, and directly gave the basking shark a spiritual enlightenment technique, and let it go to Qianli Rock, at least its safety there can be guaranteed. But what about the lamprey on its body?
Xiao Peng thought about it, simply shook the winch, and lowered the front sail and big sail of the sailboat, which is more dangerous when the sailboat is sailing, but Xiao Peng has no choice, who let the basking shark swim too slowly? This girl is simply walking in the water, the fastest speed is only five knots, and the hunting will not exceed two knots!
Xiao Peng lay on the protective net between the hulls of the boat, allowing the basking shark to slowly approach him, and tilted his body slightly, revealing the lampreys on his body.
Xiao Peng found a big bucket, picked off the lampreys from the basking shark one by one, and threw them into the bucket. The whole process is careful, after all, the basking shark is a big guy, and if you hit it hard, you can really smash this super sailing boat made of carbon fiber!
And what if Xiao Peng hits the sea? Xiao Peng is not afraid, Xiao Peng, as a witch in the sea, is definitely not afraid of dying at the bottom of the sea. But what he is afraid of is that if he can't break the world record because of this, then it's not all in vain?
Because of carefulness, Xiao Peng's speed was slow, but he made another amazing discovery in this basking shark!
Fortunately, this basking shark found it early, otherwise it would have died!
The reason is very simple, Xiao Peng found two hemflower ------ hagfish, close relatives of lampreys, in the gills of basking sharks!
If lampreys are 'like' maggots, then hagfish are simply live 'big fat maggots'!
This thing is more disgusting than lampreys, and if you zoom in on an earthworm more than a meter long, it's a hagfish. This thing is even more terrifying than lampreys, it enters the body of the fish directly through the gills, sucks the internal organs and muscles in the stomach, and only the skin and bones are left before biting through the skin and holes!
Moreover, compared to lampreys, hagfish eat more terrible, a hagfish can eat 18 times its own weight after staying in the belly of a big fish for seven hours! Someone once found 123 small hagfish in the body of a cod, and the cod's internal organs have been eaten!
And the biggest feature of hagfish is: he secretes mucus, and if there is anything more disgusting than hagfish, it is hagfish with mucus all over his body!
Unlike the mucus of other animals, hagfish not only contain lubricating mucin, but also contain microscopic fibers that help to improve the strength and viscosity of the mucus. And the mucus is produced at an astonishing rate, and it doesn't take long for a basin of mucus to be born.
Seeing the existence of hagfish, Xiao Peng was taken aback, and quickly checked the basking shark with witchcraft, but fortunately, it was found in time, and no hagfish entered its body. Xiao Peng was relieved.
In this way, Xiao Peng carefully picked off all the hagfish and lampreys attached to the basking shark, and put a whole large bucket! But looking at this bucket of monsters, Xiao Peng was also entangled, how to deal with these guys?
It took less than a second for Xiao Peng to be entangled, Lao Tzu evolved to the top of the food chain, isn't it just to eat? What's wrong with the lamprey? What's wrong with hagfish? Eat it right! I'm doing this for the people!
Xiao Peng threw the bucket onto the deck, ran to re-raise the sail himself, and after adjusting the angle of the foresail and mainsail, Xiao Peng moved the bucket back to the cabin.
Kindness. The next meal is gone, and I will taste the difference between this 'big fat maggot' that killed Charles I!
Xiao Peng took out a lamprey from the bucket and just wanted to chop off its head with a kitchen knife------- whether it was hagfish or lamprey, their heads were indeed disgusting. Cut it off first, out of sight and out of mind.
Just when Xiao Peng was about to deal with the lamprey, he heard someone shouting his name.
Xiao Peng slapped his forehead, yes, I forgot that Kim Kardashian and they were still there to video call him.
Holding the lamprey, Xiao Peng walked to the driver's platform and saw that the phone had fallen to the ground, Xiao Peng picked it up and put it on the table, and when he saw it, it was Kim Kardashian, who was sitting there anxiously.
"Uh, why didn't you hang up the video call just now?" Xiao Peng asked.
Kim Kardashian saw that Xiao Peng was okay and said, "What happened just now? What did you bump into? Are you okay? If I hadn't heard your voice, I would have called the police directly." β
Seeing that Kim Kardashian cared about him, Xiao Peng smiled: "It's okay, I bumped into a basking shark just now, and the problem has been solved." β
Kim Kardashian patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death, you went for more than half an hour, I thought something happened to you." By the way, what is a basking shark? Is it a big shark that eats people?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Don't think sharks are so scary, the chance of humans choking to death by drinking water is greater than the chance of being eaten by sharks." It's true that the basking shark is a big shark, but it really doesn't eat people, but it is almost eaten by humans. I'm worried about you, I'm fine, and I've got my dinner done by the way. After speaking, he showed Kim Kardashian the big lamprey in his hand.
"What is this? How does it look like a lamprey? Lamprey that big?" Kim Kardashian wondered.
"Wow, do you know lampreys?" Xiao Peng raised his voice.
Kim Kardashian shrugged and said, "You underestimate me too much, my family has hereditary night blindness, so we often eat lampreys, but such large lampreys are really uncommon." Such a piece will cost at least more than 100 meters of gold, you are making a fortune. β
Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders: "Jin, do you know, just your half-hour video call, at least four or five thousand meters of gold have been used by me, do you say I made a profit or a loss?"
"Huh?" Kim Kardashian was dumbfounded, this phone is so expensive, it's too cheating, isn't it?
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "The price of sea traffic is expensive, but I'm just joking, I can still afford this money." Do you want to see how I eat lamprey?"
Kim Kardashian shook her hand: "No need, let's save you some traffic." See you in San Francisco when you succeed!"
"HAT, are you going to San Francisco?" Xiao Peng asked.
Kim Kardashian nodded: "Yes, let's go together to meet the success of the hero challenge." β
"You guys?"
"yes, and us. "It was Kendall Jenner who spoke.
"How idle are youγγγγγγ Oh no, I mean you don't have a work schedule?" Xiao Peng said.
Gigi Hadid continued: "You can work at any time, but you can't always witness history. β
Xiao Peng was speechless: "You just believe that I can succeed?"
"Of course! You're Samuel. "It's Kim Kardashian who speaks.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay, then I'll try not to disappoint you." β
Kim Kardashian said, "Well, you can eat first, we'll see you in San Francisco!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Okay! Ladies and beauties, goodbye." Xiao Peng waved his hand and hung up the video call.
looked at the lamprey in his hand: "It's cheap for you." Leave you to Kim Kardashian for night blindness. Xiao Peng went straight to the bucket, cleaned all the lampreys, and put them in the freezer.
looked at the remaining two hagfish: "I really admire the buddies of the plastic surgery country, I can eat such a disgusting thing." It takes courage to eat this thing!"
