At that moment, there was a scream, and one of the crew members who had climbed up to pick a coconut fell. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I'll go, be careful! It's good that this is sand, otherwise you'll have to share the fractures." Someone scolded.

Wei Hang and they walked over: "Are you okay?"

I was injured when I went to sea, and it was quite troublesome. Chen Jianliang asked the doctor Qin Chunsheng to come over for an examination and found that the person was not injured.

But the guy was still frightened, pointing to the coconut tree: "There's a big spider on it." ”

"Damn, you were scared of a spider and fell off?" The people of the same village felt that they had lost face, and they were all from Tangjia Village. This time, I followed Wei Hang's fleet and came out to eat together.

Catching king crabs, they also caught quite a few. It can be said that this trip must have been earned.

"No, it's really a big spider, it's so big. The man said hurriedly.

Wei Hang and the others looked up, and sure enough, they saw a piece of black lump on it, which was a little creepy, spider? Is it so big? Don't joke, okay?

After seeing it clearly, Wei Hang couldn't help laughing: "That's not a spider, it's just a crab." ”

"Brother Hang, it's not a crab, right? I saw that it was obviously a spider. "That man is still not convinced, or is everyone knowing, it is just a crab the size of a king crab, didn't he die of laughter?

Wei Hang explained to everyone that it is a kind of crab, called coconut crab, and from the appearance, it is indeed similar to a spider.

Gu Haichao told everyone that it is a hermit crab with a huge body and a weight of up to 6 kilograms, making it the largest terrestrial arthropod in existence. Coconut crabs have hard shells and two strong and powerful claws, and are master tree climbers, especially good at climbing straight coconut trees, because they can peel the hard coconut shells with their strong double chela, so they get their name from eating the flesh of the coconut in them.

If all the biology experts say so, it must be a coconut crab.

"It's also the first time I've seen real things with my own eyes, and it's said that they have red eyes, and the crab's body color varies from violet-blue to orange-red from island to island. Studies have shown that male coconut crabs are much larger than females. Gu Haichao said.

Coconut crabs are afraid of bright light, so they squat in their burrows to rest during the day and go out to play and forage at night. A coconut crab lives alone in a cave, and when it grows up, it will find a bigger cave to live in more comfortably. The spacious burrow makes it grow very well, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and the large adult coconut crab can reach more than 4 kilograms and have a body length of nearly half a meter.

"Can you eat it?" someone asked.

Wei Hang smiled: "Nonsense! This crab eats coconut, and the meat quality is not bad." ”

Coconut crabs are known for their tender meat, however, due to the frenzied hunting of coconut crabs and the destruction of their natural habitat, they have become increasingly difficult to find in their habitat and have become an endangered animal facing extinction. This situation has attracted attention, and many governments have put in place measures to protect it, and are studying ways to breed coconut crabs in captivity.

Gu Haichao laughed: "This kind of crab has a title, called robber crab." ”

"Why do you say that?" said the crew, curious.

Coconut meat is the best erbium material for coconut crabs, because the coconut crab is very powerful, so it is easy to climb a tall tree to cut the coconut and chisel the shell to eat the coconut meat. It eats almost any organic matter, whether it is the fruit and leaves of plants, decaying animal carcasses, or even smaller than its own kind, so it has the nickname "robber crab".

"Moreover, this crab is very interesting, like snakes, every time it grows, it has to go through a molt. ”

Coconut crabs grow very slowly, growing up after each molt, usually in autumn and winter. Juvenile crabs molt about two or three times a year, and as the individual grows older, the number of molts decreases and decreases, and the frequency of adult crabs molting is only once a year.

"The most common crab is still Christmas Island. Home to up to 1 million coconut crabs, the island is a tourist attraction. The meat of coconut crabs was once enshrined as a delicacy, but on Christmas Island, they are protected and it is illegal to hunt and eat coconut crabs. ”

And Christmas Island, just near the sea area where they were expelled by Indonesian fishery ships, is not too far from here, no wonder coconut crabs can be seen on this small island.

"What are you waiting for, go and find it! You don't want to try it?" Yun Rulong said.

Everyone started around the island and looked for coconut crabs in the coconut trees. It didn't take long for them to find dozens of them, almost enough for everyone to eat, so Gu Haichao persuaded everyone to stop catching them.

When grilling, it may be the smell that lures those pigs to sneak out. Some of the bold pigs, even blending into the crowd, began to "hum, hum!" on the ground in search of food, and even kept their eyes on everyone's vegetables.

It seems that these pigs are also tired of eating meat on the island and want to eat some vegetarian food.

Wei Hang casually sprinkled some vegetable leaves and let them eat. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw that one of the pigs was still biting something in its mouth, which exuded a golden luster.

He hurriedly walked over and took it from the pig's mouth, and found that it was a scepter, made of gold, and a sapphire on top.

Strange, strange! How did you find this pig? Is there a shipwreck around here?

"What is it?" Chen Jianliang's eyes were sharp, and he quickly noticed something in Wei Hang's hand.

"A scepter, you see if it's worth it. Wei Hang threw it over.

When Chen Jianliang heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hands to catch it: "Damn! Such a valuable treasure, can you not throw it away at every turn?"

He looked at it for a while and asked curiously, "When did you hide it privately?" The previous shipwreck, it seems that you didn't go down to join in the fun, right?"

Others also gathered around, staring at the scepter in Chen Jianliang's hand, especially the sapphire at the top, which was quite valuable at a glance.

Wei Hang saw that the pig was surrounding him, and he looked at it with a blank eye.

Is this a scepter in exchange for food? Wei Hang couldn't help but laugh and poured down a basket of greens to feed the pig to his heart's content.

"Are you crazy? So many greens to feed the pigs? We all have to save food. Yun Rulong immediately exclaimed.

That big basket, to say the least, is dozens of catties. Before, if you threw some leaves to feed the pigs, everyone would turn a blind eye, but what kind of madness is this?

Wei Hang glanced at them and pointed to the scepter: "This thing, it's just that it took it over, and it was too much to give some greens?"

Everyone present, including Qin Hai, was also dumbfounded, staring at each other with big eyes: A pig came over with a treasure in his mouth to exchange for something to eat? Is this a pig demon?
