Chapter 501: Viperfish

Qian Wenji, who was fishing seriously, suddenly found that a group of sparkling fish appeared in the distance, although it is not uncommon to find glowing fish in the sea at night, but they appear in groups, and the fish looks not small, it is relatively rare.

"Look over there. He shouted.

Wei Hang and the others looked over, forty or fifty meters away, and they couldn't see anything, but they saw a ball of light approaching.

"What fish?" everyone wondered.

Wei Hang's face changed slightly, it was a group of terrifying sea fish.

"Haha! bite the fish hook. Muzi smiled.

In a few moments, the glowing schools of fish came to the side of the Weihang fishing boat and began to frantically hunt the schools of fish that had gathered because of the lights of the fishing boats.

"Be careful. Wei Hang reminded.

As soon as Muzi pulled it up, he saw the fish, and his hand shook in fright, and the fish fell on the deck.

"Mom!"

"What are you afraid of?" the people next to him teased when they saw this.

"This fish looks terrible. Kiko also felt a little embarrassed and re-observed the fish that had fallen on the deck.

Hearing this, the people around came around, and when they saw the fish head, they also felt cold sweat. Wouldn't it be dangerous to encounter this kind of fish when diving at the bottom of the sea?

"What kind of fish is this?" Daniel Zhang asked.

The body is slender and flattened, the head is small, the snout is short, the eyes are large, and the mouth is oblique and large. You can imagine a snake with a body that takes up almost the entire head with its mouth exposed, and it's very long.

It feels weird, like a fish crawling out of hell.

"Viperfish, this fish is a little scary, don't get bitten. Wei Hang explained.

A long, outstretched tusk with sharp dorsal fin located posterior and upper part of the pectoral fin end, and a longer first fin like a filament. There are luminaires on the sides, back, chest, abdomen and tail, which can be described as a "jewel".

He popularized it with everyone. It is named because the teeth are large and protruding beyond the palate, resembling a viper. Their teeth are so long that they can't fit in their mouths, and their lower teeth are bent backwards so much that they almost touch their eyes. This fish is ferocious and bloodthirsty, and the more blood, the more crazy they become.

"Vipers have a hinge-like skull, a jaw that can be turned wide to swallow large prey, and a stomach that is like a rubber that is very elastic, so it can swallow prey that is the same size as itself. And their stomachs can also play a role in storage, if there is too much food. Swallow more and store it in your stomach. Wei Hang continued.

In fact, this terrifying-looking animal has an extended dorsal bone with a luminous device at the top, and then teases its prey in the same way that its close cousin, the black largemouth, is. They have been seen standing motionless in the water, constantly shaking the bait overhead to attract their meals. They also have luminaires on the sides of their bodies, which are not used as bait, but are mainly used to signal during mating to attract other vipers.

"Such horrible teeth. It won't be poisonous, right?" Tang Dehui couldn't help but ask.

When a child sees this fish, he may have nightmares.

"It's not poisonous, but if you are bitten, it must be very painful. "Such long teeth. If you are stabbed in the body, the damage ability is definitely very strong.

As far as Wei Hang knows, the upper and lower jaws of Pacific vipers can open and close in large movements, allowing them to devour their larger prey. At the time of hunting. They open their mouths to the maximum extent possible and remain motionless in this position, their large mouths full of sharp teeth waiting for their prey to approach like a trap. This "wait-and-see" approach to predation works especially well in dark waters.

"They're supposed to be very rarely active predators. Wei Hang frowned.

"Maybe the fish are all attracted to our boat. They can't eat, so they have to take the initiative. Yun Rulong said a guess that he thought was correct.

"It's hard to say. "Weihang can't figure it out.

"Can you eat it?" someone asked.

"Do you dare to eat?" Wei Hang asked rhetorically. This kind of fish has no economic value, after all, it looks so ugly, I don't know if it's delicious or not, and it is estimated that no one will try it.

"It doesn't matter if you cut off your head. Daniel Zhang and the others said with a smile.

Actually, it's just that it's just an ugly head, and they've been mixing with the ocean for so long, and what ugly animals haven't seen before? Aren't monkfish, stonefish, and so on all ugly? People are still expensive!

Before, when I fished up a mess, it was not just ugly, it was simply disgusting, what was it called a drop fish. What they saw was a lump of jelly, and it was really unappetizing.

"If you look like this, I'm afraid there are no natural enemies. Someone speculated.

In fact, water above room temperature is enough to kill them, they only like cold and do not tolerate heat, and they will die when they encounter uncold water.

In addition, vipers are social creatures, and when there are not enough of them, they can easily be swallowed by other large fish. For example, alligator gars, man-loving sharks, and all kinds of equally ferocious big fish.

However, when there are many of them, it is terrifying, and the shark has to be gnawed into a skeleton by them.

"Die so fast!" Yun Rulong found that the fish was dead.

"You're lucky to see something alive in the shallow sea. Wei Hang laughed.

It can also be explained that the sea water in the nearby sea is relatively cold, so they dare to come out. Usually, they live deep in the deep sea, and come to the shallow sea at night to find something to eat.

Seeing that, everyone really didn't have much appetite to eat, so Yun Rulong threw it back into the sea. And, it's time to change places. With such a group of uninvited guests, there will hardly be any more sea fish around,

"How far is it?" Chen Jianliang asked.

Everyone could hear that it was asking how far it was from the location of the wreck. This guy, I don't know how many times he nagged along the way, even Daniel Zhang and the others were a little speechless.

"Brother Liang, you seem to have asked tonight. Xiao Wu said with a smile.

"Yes? Maybe I'm mistaken. How far is it going?"

This time, even Wei Hang can't stand this guy a little, is it necessary to be so obsessed? Looking at his appearance, he is about to be poisoned.

"Wait a minute, what are you anxious about? The wreck is sinking there, and it won't swim away on its own. "In addition, even the government said that it was difficult and did not dare to salvage, who could take it away in one go?

Not long ago, he had actually been there, and the wreck was unharmed at the bottom of the sea, with thick silt piled up on it, and only the mast and part of the outline could be seen.

He sensed with his divine sense, and there were indeed a lot of treasures, most of which were still gold and precious stones, and it should be a silk ship on the return journey.

What really surprised Wei Hang was that the wreck was quite large, more than 100 meters long. Such a large hull is not small in modern times. (To be continued......)
