Chapter 751: The Great Turtle
The turtle was very large, about 1.56 meters tall, and because Huo Sining was standing behind it, all he could see was the armor shield and plates arranged in the shape of tiles on its back, and the surface of the turtle shell was smooth, with brown and pale yellow patterns, and its limbs were flippered.

Huo Sining didn't recognize the name of this turtle, but it was indeed the first time she had seen such a large turtle, which made Huo Sining a little curious, and couldn't help but want to go over the turtle to the front to observe it head-on.
But before she could move, at this moment, from the other side of the reef, suddenly a football-sized jellyfish floated over.
Jellyfish are one of the most common plankton species in the ocean, and their bodies are shaped like transparent umbrellas.
The main component of the jellyfish body is water, and it is composed of two germ layers, and there is a thick medium gum layer between the two layers, which is not only transparent, but also has a floating effect.
When they are moving, they use the water spray reflex in their bodies to move forward, and from a distance, they are like a round umbrella floating rapidly in the water;
Some jellyfish have a variety of colors on their umbrellas, and in the blue ocean, these jellyfish of different colors are very beautiful.
Whether it is tropical waters, temperate waters, shallow waters, oceans about 100 meters deep, and even freshwater areas can be traced.
Jellyfish have been around since 650 million years ago, and they predate the dinosaurs.
There are more than 250 species of jellyfish in the world's waters, and they are found in waters all over the world, and all of them live in the oceans.
But if you get carried away at the sight of this beautiful crystal clear creature and want to touch the screen, you're in for a miserable situation.
Although the jellyfish may seem fragile and vulnerable, it is actually one of the most poisonous creatures in the ocean, and it is no less poisonous than the sea snake.
Although this creature has a seemingly beautiful and docile appearance, it is actually extremely ferocious, and under its umbrella-like body, there are countless slender tentacles in the shape of whiskers, some of which are long and some are short, which are its digestive organs and its weapons.
These tentacles are covered with stinging cells that are not visible to the naked eye, these stinging cells are like venom wires, which can shoot venom, and once the prey is stimulated by the stinging cells of the jellyfish, it will quickly paralyze and die.
Like the world's most poisonous box jellyfish, also known as the sea wasp, it has a brain and a heart, and its tentacles are covered with nerve cells.
When feeling threatened, the box jellyfish will pierce the skin of the other person with its tentacles and release venom, its venom will invade the nervous system of the organism, paralyze the muscle tissue and respiratory system, and then cause cardiac arrest, sometimes only a few minutes from poisoning to death, which is a terrifying marine killer.
It is known that the venom in a single box jellyfish is enough to kill more than 250 adults, and currently, about 70 people die every year from box jellyfish attacks worldwide.
Basically, if you are stung by one of these jellyfishes, you are almost hopeless, unless you have an antidote with you!
But as far as Huo Sining knows, no one in the world has researched an antidote to box jellyfish.
Fortunately, this highly poisonous creature is mainly distributed along the northern and eastern coasts of Australia and the western Pacific Ocean, and is not found in the eastern part of Mindong, so Huo Sining is not worried about encountering this danger.
But suddenly saw the jellyfish, before figuring out what kind of thing this thing was, Huo Sining felt that it was better to stay away from this thing, after all, even if it was a jellyfish with less toxicity, Huo Sining didn't dare to provoke, because she had no antidote.
And in this barren sea, if you really fall into the poison of jellyfish, it will really be called every day, the earth is not spiritual, and there is not even a person to save your life.
So Huo Sining did not act rashly, but directly stared at the charming jellyfish with his eyes.
However, in the next moment, a scene that surprised Huo Sining and made him laugh dumbly appeared.
The jellyfish that made Huo Sining quite jealous jumped up and down the reef, and at the moment when it swam to the top of the giant turtle's head, almost in the blink of an eye, the turtle suddenly raised its head, opened its huge mouth, and showed its sharp teeth, but in an instant, it was swallowed directly into the stomach by the giant turtle.
Huo Sining was stunned by this scene, but the turtle didn't forget to smash its mouth after eating the jellyfish, revealing a not very happy expression, as if it was still disgusted that the jellyfish was too thin and didn't have much meat.
The complex marine environment can reflect the primitive survival rules more than the terrestrial forest, here, all kinds of survival struggles are more intense, the rules of the big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp are vividly embodied, this scene in front of Huo Sining instantly thought of a classic sentence in biology: natural selection, survival of the fittest.
The threat of jellyfish was gone, and Huo Sining hurriedly approached the turtle, skirting the reef and coming to the turtle.
This turtle is not small, although the turtle is more docile than the turtle, but after seeing the scene of the turtle preying on the jellyfish, there is also a trace of jealousy in her heart, so she can only quietly approach the turtle, but she is afraid of disturbing this guy who is resting with his eyes closed.
As the front approached, Huo Sining discovered that the giant turtle's mouth was hooked and sharp like an eagle's beak, and the carapace had beautiful and colorful patterns, which were as gorgeous and dazzling as gemstones.
Huo Sining doesn't know much about sea turtles, but when he sees the beautiful appearance of this turtle, he knows that this guy must be a precious species, especially the back shield shell of this ghost still has 13 shields, which is very rare, which means that this turtle is at least 100 years old.
Turtles are often symbolized as a symbol of health and longevity, because this creature has a very long lifespan, but it is not easy to grow to 100 years, which means that such a turtle needs to successfully avoid predators for hundreds of years, and also avoid human hunting.
So when he saw this guy, although Huo Sining realized that this turtle was worth a lot of money at the first time, he didn't want to take it directly, but just quietly approached and observed the turtle's appearance up close.
Just when Huo Sining was less than five meters away from the large sea turtle, the big sea turtle that was resting comfortably with its eyes closed finally realized the danger and opened its eyes directly.
Seeing the humanoid object standing not far away, a trace of nervousness and jealousy flashed in the turtle's eyes, and the limbs that were originally curled up at the bottom of the turtle shell stretched out, looking ready to attack and flee at any time. (To be continued.) )
