The anglerfish, probably the most well-known creature in the deep sea, is ugly for the first reason, and often appears in various posts as the chief spokesperson of the deep sea monsters.

The anglerfish is a bony fish, flat in front and flat in the back, with a columnar tail, long eyes on the top of the head, a large mouth full of fangs almost the same width as the body, large and scary, the lower jaw and barbed fangs, the whole body surface is smooth and scaleless, and the fins are even more peculiar, which are composed of dark brown fins.

Thousands of words are gathered into one sentence, ugly out of the limit, ugly out of style, ugly with small lanterns, there is a kind of contrast and cuteness......

The second reason is that it comes with its own lanterns. The anglerfish has a fleshy protrusion above its head, like a lantern. The glandular cells inside the lantern are able to secrete luminin, which is oxidized with oxygen under the action of enzymes to emit light. It is its first weapon for hunting in the deep sea.

Often a lot of cute little fish, when they see a light bulb in front of them, they all lean over to enjoy the underwater street lamps like ghosts, and then there is no more......

As an enlightened dragon monarch who is fraternal, tolerant and inclusive, Lu Zheng did not exclude the anglerfish from the Dragon Palace system because of its ugliness, ugliness is not its fault, it is all the fault of survival.

There are many species of anglerfish, and the black anglerfish is the main one distributed in the East China Sea. And only male anglerfishers live in the deep sea, and female anglerfishers, which are six times larger than male anglerfishers, are usually on the bottom of the continental shelf.

To build a dragon palace in the deep sea, the lighting problem must be solved, and it can't just rely on Lu Zheng's light. So before he came to the East China Sea, he had already made up his mind to light the anglerfish as the logistics force of the troops, providing pointing lighting.

In total, there are more than 40 anglerfish, all of which Lu Zheng swam out of the deep-sea trough and found on the seabed at the edge of the continental shelf, all of which are large female anglerfish.

After being spotted, the size of the anglerfish has nearly tripled, and even the smallest one is more than two meters long, and the largest is even three meters long.

The signature lantern becomes the size of a volleyball, and its luminous power is enhanced. The light is blue-white, very bright, and can completely cover the surrounding sea area seven or eight meters away.

Liu Neng stared at a pair of small eyes and looked at more than forty lanterns. Surprised: "What kind of fish is this? It's so ugly!"

Liu Mingne said: "It's amazing, how can you only have one mouth?

"You're blind. Liu Neng pointed to several fins under the anglerfish's mouth with his fist and said, "There are legs under the mouth, there are many legs, and they are actually jumping ......."

How anglerfish swim. It is indeed used to climb the seabed with fins, so it looks very weird to jump and jump. In addition, because the mouth is so big, when you look at it from the front, there are only more than 40 large mouths of blood, jumping over one after another, and you can't even see your body, that formation is really terrifying.

The surrounding shrimp soldiers and crab generals also came over and started a strong onlooker.

This group of anglerfish has been ignited by Lu Zheng and already has spiritual intelligence. Liu Neng and Liu Ming's communication, they can be sensed. However, as newcomers, most of them seemed very restrained, and lined up behind Lu Zheng in a regular manner.

Liu Ming sighed: "Walking with your feet, is this a fish or a crab......?"

As the saying goes, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and the same aquatic fish grows a hundred kinds of fish. Among the more than 40 anglerfish, there are obviously also spiny heads, and as soon as Liu Ming finished speaking, a two-and-a-half-meter-long anglerfish sprang out of the school of anglerfish. The body color turned out to be a very rare mutant red, which was very conspicuous.

It carried a lantern and had a big mouth and approached Liu Ming. After a lot of it, he snorted: "Aren't you weird? Look at you, big head and small eyes, the pliers are full of miscellaneous hair, and you have a face that says we are wonderful?"

"Poof......" Liu Neng laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Look at you, you don't even have tongs. The black ones don't slip in autumn, especially the tails, the flowers are red and willow green, are you a parrot or a peacock. ”

"Uh......"

Liu Neng was originally a passerine mantis shrimp, and his colorful tail has always been a sign of pride for him.

But the big mouth in front of him can swallow half of its body in one bite, and between opening and closing, the dense barbed fangs are even more terrifying.

Because his appearance was too intimidating, Liu Neng didn't dare to refute for a while.

Lu Zheng did not reprimand it, on the contrary, he was very happy, this anglerfish may have been mutated, after being ignited, it has outstanding intelligence, inherited part of the knowledge in Lu Zheng's divine sense, and its vocabulary and language ability are obviously higher than other anglerfish.

In addition, it has a bright red body color that is different from other anglerfish, and it feels like it stands out from the crowd.

Lu Zheng looked the red anglerfish up and down, and said in a deep voice: "You will all be subordinates of the Dragon Palace in the future, so it's okay to make a joke." But you must not hurt the harmony, otherwise you will be punished regardless of whether it is right or wrong. ”

The red anglerfish closed its mouth, shook the lantern and said, "Got it, Your Majesty." I was just kidding them. ”

"Yes, yes, my wife was just joking with them to ease the awkwardness. ”

It's not the consciousness of the red anglerfish, it's from its belly.

Everyone was stunned, and Liu Nengqi said, "Who is talking?"

The red anglerfish raised its front fin and lit up its lower abdomen, only to see that in the middle of the fin group, there was a slight bulge, revealing two small eyes, it waved its fin and pointed, and said a little embarrassed: "It's my husband." ”

The protruding sarcoma, apparently on the belly of the anglerfish, was smaller than the lantern on the red anglerfish's head, and was also dark and brown in color, with markings, and the signature mouth was degenerated and blurred, and only a few small fins could be faintly seen.

Many onlookers were stunned, and they exchanged heads and talked about it.

This peculiar parasitic phenomenon is actually the way in which male and female anglerfish are combined. By cutting the abdomen of the female, the male anglerfish says that their bodies are linked together, and the blood vessels are also linked, and the nutrients are uniformly supplied by the female anglerfish. The physiological functions of male anglerfish are all degraded, and only the reproductive function remains, which effectively and conveniently solves the big problem of not finding a target in the deep sea of black lacquer.

"Rest easy. ”

Long Wei was released, and the deployment instantly quieted down.

"From now on, the school of anglerfish will be organized as the lantern guards of the Dragon Palace, responsible for assisting the shrimp soldiers and crabs to survey all corners of the deep sea. The dragon's eyes fell on the red anglerfish, and said with a smile: "I have made you the commander of the guards and given you a name...... Grace ......"

The name magic has been useless for a long time, and it is obviously a little rusty. Lu Zheng looked at their lanterns, pondered for a long time, and said with a smile: "Since you are all anglerfish, then give the surname An." Since your color is red, then your name is called Ann Red. ”

The red anglerfish was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name." By the way, what about my husband?"

"Uh...... Your husband. Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Eryu." As for the names of your kindred, let them be your husband and wife. ”

"Er?

The hermaphroditic angler fish couple, who were able to get the name of the Dragon King, turned around happily and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, An Hong and Eryu must swear allegiance to the death." ”

The rest of the anglerfish shook the lantern on their heads together and said, "We swear allegiance to His Majesty the Dragon Monarch to the death. ”

"Alright. Lu Zhenglong's claws pointed at Liu Ming and Liu Neng, nodded and said, "You husband and wife get to know each other with your colleagues, and then assist them in surveying the sea area within a radius of 100 miles, and there are no omissions." Turn back and report back to me. ”

"Yes!"

After giving these orders, Lu Zheng swam out of the direction of the depth of the trough with the swing of the dragon's tail. The seabed where he landed, because the terrain was too sloping, was not suitable for the Dragon Palace, so he had to find a flat and broad place, and after cleaning it up, he would manifest the Dragon Palace and take the first step in building the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. (To be continued.) )
