Chapter 255: The Mysterious Seabed
Chu Xian swam under the sea for a while, hunted some large fish, and saw the underwater scenery that the Yellow Sea did not have. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The seabed terrain of the East China Sea is very complex, and the creatures are more abundant, and even Chu Xian has encountered hundreds of large yellow croakers, which is simply an unexpected joy.
He was not willing to devour such an expensive big yellow croaker, but got all of it on the fishing boat.
It wasn't until it was about to get dark at night that Chu Xian swam out of the sea.
"Cool. ”
Boarding the fishing boat, Chu Xian stretched his waist, and then said to the elder: "Get a big yellow croaker to eat, and these two big lobsters." ”
Among the creatures under the sea, Chu Xian's favorite food is still the big lobster, which is very refreshing to eat with some food.
"Crocodile Seven, come, make this big yellow croaker, show your cooking skills and let the boss see. At this time, the old man handed a large yellow croaker weighing about three catties to Crocodile Seven.
Crocodile Seven and Crocodile Eight are two middle-aged mermaids with wisdom, their attack power is relatively low, but their wisdom is no worse than that of the old man, and what they lack at present is the accumulation of time.
In addition to learning, Crocodile Seven also learned the skills of a chef, because the fishery is breeding large yellow croaker, so Crocodile Seven is very good at cooking large yellow croaker.
"Don't worry, the big yellow croaker I made will definitely satisfy the boss. Crocodile Seven confidently took it and walked towards the kitchen.
Chu Xian looked at it from the side and smiled, Old Eagle's cooking skills were not bad, but he didn't have time to delve too much into this skill, now that there are more wise mermaids, he can just share a lot of things.
Standing in front of the railing of the fishing boat, I smiled as I watched a few dunkle fish frolicking in the sea and three terrified blue sharks on the side.
"Boss, the dish is ready. ”
Soon, crocodile seven, who came out with a tray, shouted at him.
"Uh-huh. Chu Xian nodded, turned his head and walked to the table.
"Boss, try it, big yellow croaker in tomato sauce and fried lobster, and a bowl of light scallop seafood soup, a fruit salad. Crocodile Seven put the tray on the table one by one.
"Well, yes, yes. Chu Xian looked at this big yellow croaker with tomato sauce, it was very beautiful just in shape, which made him appetite great, and there was a slight frying sound on the big lobster, and Jin Cancan looked very delicious.
Chu Xian took out his chopsticks and tasted the big yellow croaker, and couldn't help but stretch out a thumbs up: "It's amazing, it's so delicious." ”
It was the most delicious fish he had ever tasted, and even the dried fish he made himself was a little worse than that.
The delicious sauerkraut in the ketchup sauce and the tenderness of the big yellow croaker made him appetite greater, and he sandwiched a piece of fried lobster body, and Chu Xian dipped it in the dipping sauce and put it in his mouth.
"It is worthy of being a mermaid who specializes in learning food, and the craftsmanship of the old man is too far from it. ”
Chu Xian sighed slightly, and the chopsticks in his hand did not stop.
The crocodile seven on the side showed a satisfied look on his face: "The boss likes it, my best thing is pine nut yellow croaker, but there are no materials on the boat, and when I go back, crocodile seven will make it for the boss to eat." ”
"Good. Chu Xian smiled and nodded, he was extremely lucky today, and he caught a total of more than two hundred and twenty large yellow croaker, which is more than two million according to the market price.
But now he is not surprised by the big yellow croaker, after all, there are tens of thousands of them in his fishing ground, and he will not feel distressed to eat the big yellow croaker every day in the future.
When I go back, take Xiaoying to eat the food made by Crocodile Seven, hehe.
After a meal, Chu Xian patted his stomach with satisfaction, and stood on the fishing boat for a while.
At night, Chu Xian let the fishing boat stop in place, and then came to the cabin and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
There was no rush to the sea this time, and there was no need to drive at night.
Early the next morning, after Chu Xian got up, he had a breakfast, and then jumped into the sea again.
They quickly followed and dived to the depths of the sea.
"Let's see if we can touch the yellow-lipped fish. Chu Xian thought with some anticipation in his heart.
He has always been obsessed with the yellow-lipped fish, and once its precious value is obtained, it is equivalent to getting a gold mountain.
Swimming at the bottom of the sea, he was dazzled by all kinds of strange fish, many of which he did not know about.
However, it was almost noon when he was about to get on the fishing boat for dinner, when suddenly he was stunned by the scene ahead.
More than a hundred meters away from them, a large black oppressive scene made Chu Xian feel incredible.
In the darkness ahead, it was not a school of fish, but two creatures, a turtle and an octopus.
Octopuses, in particular, look terrifying from a distance with their long tentacles, and a large part of the pitch-black color around them is the smoke they spew out to paralyze their enemies.
In addition, the more than 100 turtles were not very large, the lines on their bodies were very beautiful, and a few of them emitted golden light in the dark.
"Is this a school of octopuses fighting a school of turtles?"
Looking at a group of two races fighting together, Chu Xian's face showed a look of shock, between this race, it was the first time he had encountered a sea battle of hundreds of creatures.
"Is this an octopus eating a turtle or a turtle eating an octopus?
Chu Xian was a little puzzled, and asked the Deng fish not to get close, and slowly swam over by turning into a human form.
The closer he got, the more he could see the fierceness of the battle, the octopuses wielding their whiskers and wrapping around the turtles' bodies, and the turtles did not show weakness, and their sharp teeth bit off a piece of the octopus's tentacles.
"These octopuses are so big, they hold grass, and the central one is four or five meters in size. ”
Through God's perspective, he could see some of these creatures, and soon Chu Xian found that in the center of the battlefield, there was a huge octopus, its body was wrapped around a large sea turtle of more than one meter, and the huge body wrapped most of its body, and the turtle under it looked a little dying.
"Could this guy be a giant octopus in the Pacific Ocean?" Chu Xian looked at these octopuses whose smallest was more than a meter in size, and guessed in his heart.
At present, the official Pacific giant octopus is the largest octopus in the world, with an average size of about three meters, and the large one can reach five meters, which is not weaker than small sharks.
However, since the last time he saw that book at Shi Lao's place, Chu Xian had searched for information about many underwater giant beasts, and one of them was a record of octopuses.
At the end of 1986, two boys playing on St. Augustine's Beach spotted a giant white organism. It is 21 feet long, 7 feet wide, weighs up to 7 tons, and has a very resilient body. Local doctors, botanists, botanists, photographers and journalists all identified the organism: a head, eyes, a mouth, tentacles and a tail.
Dr. Addison of Yale University, the most famous expert on cephalopods (squid, etc.) at the time, concluded that it was the carcass of an unknown giant octopus and gave it a "scientific" name - "giant octopus". In the book, he writes, "When the giant octopus was alive, it had terrifying arms, each at least a hundred feet long, as thick as the mast of a great ship." It has hundreds of dish-shaped suction cups, the largest of which is at least a foot in diameter. The average octopus has a length of 20 feet with its arms outstretched.
One hundred feet long, equivalent to more than thirty meters, a real behemoth.
However, the main part of the organism was cut off, and as a sample, it was transported to the museum and named "Smith Man". However, the sample slowly deteriorated over the next few decades. The controversy has also fallen silent.
Later, there were many debates about the giant sea monster, some of which still have no answers.
If there were terrifying octopuses thirty or forty meters below the seabed, Chu Xian would believe that after all, the ocean was too mysterious.
It's as if these octopuses are actually fighting with a group of turtles.
Chu Xian swam to the surface of the sea and asked Elder Yu to throw down the camera he had purchased.
With a top-of-the-line camera with a waterproof function, worth more than 100,000 yuan, Chu Xian walked not far from this battlefield, turned on the camera and filmed.
Octopuses are very ferocious, with tendrils wrapped around turtles, they have sharp teeth, and the black smoke released by the octopus can paralyze turtles.
Gradually, the turtles are slowly slaughtered by octopuses and soon become food for squid.
Blood mixed with black smoke made the entire surrounding area feel a little cold, as if the entrance to hell had suddenly appeared, and some visions could be seen even from the sea.
In half an hour, the octopus slaughtered the turtles, leaving only blood-stained turtle shells and mutilated corpses.
The group of octopuses slowly landed on the bottom of the sea, sticking to the bottom of the sea and moving rapidly.
Chu Xian found that the movement route of this group of octopuses was exactly where they were, and he was slightly stunned, looked over with interest, and at the same time turned into a fish shape.
The Deng fish that followed behind also slowly came to Chu Xian's body, and they also looked at these strange creatures curiously, but for octopus meat, the Deng fish didn't seem to have much interest.
This group of octopuses suddenly saw their group of terrifying creatures at this time, and under Chu Xian's stunned gaze, the group of octopuses changed rapidly, and finally turned into huge sea lions, full of poisonous sea lions, and quickly fled towards the opposite position.
"Damn. Chu Xian, who witnessed the rapid transformation of the octopus, felt a little incredulous, but when he thought of some information about the octopus, he shook his head speechlessly.
Octopuses are apex pretenders, capable of disguising themselves as flounders, sea snakes, sea lions, and other venomous sea creatures to hunt and protect themselves.
"It's really a powerful creature, and its IQ is not low. ”
Chu Xian looked at the back of the octopus and thought to himself, and then came to the location where they were hunting just now.
Here, the severed whiskers of octopuses and the carcasses of broken turtles sunk to the bottom of the sea are everywhere, and the whole area looks very cruel.
However, this was a competition in the natural world, and Chu Xian did not interfere.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
