Chapter 286: Strange Customs (I)
Although the momentum of the first few steps was violent, Ling Mo's mood had already been completely adjusted in place, and the whole person had returned to the calm he had always been. He had a calm expression on his face, as if he was leisurely pacing the bottom of the sea with his hands behind his back, and even had time to admire the strange sea creatures swimming around him, showing the demeanor of the sky not falling, but there were a few minor flaws......
direction, off.
Although it will not be the opposite direction, if you follow the current direction, you will definitely get farther and farther away from Raccoon City. Obviously, Ling Mo's mind at this time was not as calm as he had shown, so that he didn't find such an obvious mistake. After Zero and Ragdoll Bear followed Ling Mo out for a while, they looked at each other, not knowing how to remind him, and couldn't help but gesture to each other with their eyes.
Go, aren't you his daughter?
Go, don't you like to die?
You're so ruthless, you're going to really die at this time.
You are more ruthless than me, and you are trying to destroy the father-daughter relationship between me and me.
Just as the two of them were staring at me and I glaring at you, their eyes stalemate, Ling Mo suddenly stopped, looked around, sighed, and said, "Hey, I originally thought that when I came to the place where the tyrant's aura was the thickest, I would be able to find the body of the tyrant, and then find more traces of battle from it, and speculate about what the current strength of my teammate is, but it was really not that simple." ”
It turned out that he was not pretending to be calm and pretending to be forced to go in the wrong direction, but he was looking for the corpse of the tyrant!
Understanding Ling Mo's intentions, Zero and the Ragdoll Bear were stunned at the same time, laughing at each other, and Zero hurriedly said, "Yes, even Zero can sense that in this water, there is a strong breath on the body of a tyrant that cannot be dissolved." It shows that after the body of the tyrant was thrown into the sea, it stayed here for quite a long time! In this case, why did not the target be found in a radius of two or three kilometers in perception?"
"This is the meeting place of cold and warm currents, and because of the whirling force, the current here is relatively closed, so that the body of the tyrant does not drift far away from the current. At this time, the corpse was gone, and it was so clean, then there was only one explanation," the Ragdoll Bear frowned, and looked into the depths of the ocean:
"His corpse was devoured by some carnivorous sea demonic beasts, and it must have been a huge ocean demonic beast, otherwise it would not have been swallowed so cleanly. In this sea area, there are six kinds of large sea monsters that I know of alone, and they are located in different water layers, and the targets are too scattered, and it is very difficult to track them!"
"It doesn't have to be that complicated. After listening to the words of Zero and the Ragdoll Bear, Ling Mo waved his hand, signaling the two to stay away, and then opened his big mouth, like a long whale sucking water, sucking all the seawater within a radius of fifteen meters into his stomach!
This scene was very terrifying, a huge amount of seawater was sucked into Ling Mo's stomach, and the speed was so fast that it stirred up a tornado-like whirlpool at the bottom of the sea! But his belly did not swell at all, as if all the water had flowed into the unknown four-dimensional space, it was very magical! Zero could clearly feel that in the surrounding seawater, the concentration of the tyrant's breath was rapidly weakening, and when the breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, Ling Mo finally stopped absorbing water!
He smacked his lips, as if he was savoring something, then stretched out his hand, pointed to the southwest, and said very firmly: "The sea demonic beast that ate the tyrant is in that direction, and it is currently swimming to that position a little bit away thirty kilometers away!"
Completely stunned by Ling Mo's method of 'searching', the Ragdoll Bear couldn't help but complain: "This ...... Teacher Ling, how many demonic beasts have you eaten to practice this stunt of tasting and finding your target?"
"The list goes on and on. Ling Mo replied casually with two words, and then said with a smile: "Don't go leisurely like this anymore, swim over quickly, the sea monsters have the habit of migrating, if you don't rush over, those guys will run away again." The longer it drags on, the more the tyrant's corpse is digested, and the clues that can be obtained are very limited. ”
Zero they nodded at the same time, and then went straight forward at full speed, among several people, even the weakest little Tirpitz also has the strength of a sixth-level demonic beast, the distance of thirty kilometers does not take long at all, in less than two minutes, the target location is already in sight, and there is a rich rancid smell in the seawater, and the first thing that catches your eye is a giant whale that has been dead for a long time and whose body is already highly decomposed!
Calling this whale a 'giant whale' is absolutely worthy of its name, its length is more than 50 meters, and its width is more than 15 meters! It is an out-and-out behemoth! It is a pity that the behemoth no longer has the domineering spirit that used to swim in the ocean, its belly is upward, its belly has been bitten through, and a large hole with a radius of more than five meters has been broken on it! There is not much blood gushing out of the hole, only thin blood threads slowly seeping out, lingering on the rancid and blackened internal organs, silently telling its tragic experience.
"It's ...... Giant Whale Beast?" The Ragdoll Bear said with some uncertainty: "The body is a little rotten, but it should be a giant whale beast, right? Ordinary blue whales and sperm whales cannot reach this level of body length and tonnage." ”
"Is it that it devoured the corpse of the tyrant?" Zero gestured from a distance, and said with some confusion, "In other words, are we going to find the corpse of the tyrant in the belly of this whale?" This is really a technical job, and I heard that the stomach juice of the whale is extremely corrosive, maybe the corpse of the tyrant has turned into slag at this time...... Zero really didn't want to get into such a stinky guy, so he racked his brains to find an excuse. ”
"It's not it, it's already dead, and the timing isn't right. Ling Mo directly denied Zero's speculation, and said softly: "This is a giant whale beast that died naturally, looking at the rough texture on the surface of the body, it is layered like the annual rings of trees, indicating that it is extremely old, and it should be the end of its life, which can be regarded as the happiest way to die." ”
"Happiness?" Hearing Ling Mo's words, the ragdoll bear suddenly felt a little stomachache, and couldn't help but retort: "Dying so miserably, can it be called a 'happy death'?
"It's just because you don't know about whales. Ling Mo didn't care about the tone of the ragdoll bear, and explained very calmly: "Since the whale is a mammalian beast, it needs to return to the sea from time to time to breathe, and when a whale is too old to move its body, it will die of suffocation. ”
"When it suffocates to death, its body will be very intact, and because of its size, no creature will dare to come to it, until it is highly decomposed, and the rancid smell emitted by other creatures can be smelled far away, then some brave fish will swim over and tentatively bite twice. In other words, the large hole in the belly of the giant whale beast you see is not the cause of its death, but just the 'food mouth' that was bitten out by other creatures after death. ”
"Liar! Don't think that if I don't read much, it's easier to deceive!" The ragdoll bear obviously didn't agree with Ling Mo's statement, and pointed to the edge of the big hole in the giant whale beast's abdomen, and said: "Look at this long muscle tissue stretched out by the giant whale beast! It can't be pulled out so long at all with a bite! It's not a bite, it's something that exploded! As a mechanical monster, it's very familiar with the blasting wounds formed by the explosion of this cannonball, and you can recognize it at a glance! Right, little Tirpitz?"
Hearing his beloved Brother Xiong call himself, little Tirpitz originally wanted to lie and comfort him, but when he saw Ling Mo beside him, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said honestly: "Brother Xiong, maybe you haven't used explosive weapons for too long, have you noticed that this wound is actually turned outward?"
Muppet Bear: "......?"
Now that he had spoken, little Tirpitz no longer cared about Brother Xiong's face, and continued: "In other words, the cause of this wound is due to the explosion that occurred inside the giant whale beast. This is not uncommon, because whales will swallow too much food, and after death, they will not be able to digest it, and the remnants will decompose and decay in the body, accumulating a large amount of flammable and explosive gases, as long as a small bite on the surface of the body, it will cause a violent explosion......"
After listening to little Tirpitz's explanation, the Ragdoll Bear's face turned red, and Ai Ai was speechless. Ling Mo laughed out loud, then took over Little Tirpitz's words and said, "So, for the Ocean Warcraft, although the whale is a super meal, it also contains great risks, and the first guy to bite through the thick skin of the whale will usually be killed on the spot by that violent explosion. Therefore, some experienced old fish will only swim slowly not far away when they encounter whale carcasses, and flicker the young fish to go up to die. ”
"Eh, is there such a saying? Those old fish are really bad......" Little Tirbitz muttered, and then continued with a look of fascination: "The death of the giant whale will form a 'whale fall', which is the most beautiful scenery in the sea, and there was once a poet in the United States who sang the hymn of the whale falling - the whale falling to the bottom of the sea and feeding the beings of the dark world for fifteen years. This artistic conception is so beautiful! It is similar to the return of energy to the sea after the death of our ship's mother......"
Zero interjected: "Wait, don't be too busy getting intoxicated, can you tell me first, what is a whale fall?"
Dissatisfied with Zero's interruption of his feelings, Tirpitz puffed out his cheeks angrily, but still reluctantly explained: "Because the giant whale's body is too huge, when it slowly sinks to the bottom of the sea, first hagfish, sharks and some crustaceans feed on the soft tissues in the whale carcass, and this process will last for one to two years, then invertebrate monsters such as sea cucumbers and nudibranchs will feed on the remnants of whale carcasses, this process will last up to five years, and then various small creatures, Microorganisms settle into the whale's carcass and break down its carcass to provide nutrients for itself, a process that can take up to 10 years, and for the last 100 years, the fat in the whale carcass is absorbed by the bacteria and becomes a reef that stands on the ocean floor forever. This whole process is called 'whale fall', and it is the last gentle ...... left by the giant whale to the sea."
Using his body as a hotbed, he has been supporting an ecological circulation system for a hundred years! After savoring it, Zero has to admit that this is really a ...... A different kind of gentleness. But after all, she had not survived in the ocean for long, and her feelings were not as deep as those of Tirpitz Jr., and she quickly broke away from this emotion and grasped the point:
"In other words, this giant whale was bitten by other creatures to become this miserable scene, and the large carnivorous demonic beast that dared to bite the giant whale is the main one we are looking for?"
As soon as her words fell, on the opposite side covered by the giant whale's body, the 'main master' swung its tail fin and slowly swam out!
A swarm of sharks with their mouths wide open and full of sharp fangs!
These sharks are also very large, generally more than five meters in length, and the female shark at the head is even more than eight meters! Their skin is very textured, with a slight ice blue in the turquoise, and their bodies are streamlined and constricted, looking like oversized shaking and freezing from a distance! These sharks swim around the body of the giant whale, and at the same time swim in the opposite direction of each other, and the moment they pass by, the rough skin rubs against each other, making a tooth-aching stinging sound.
"I said why I could only vaguely feel the location of the tyrant's corpse, it turned out that it was eaten by them! It's no wonder!" Ling Mo showed a clear expression on his face while seeing these sharks, and when he saw that Zero and the Ragdoll Bear were still puzzled, he explained: "This is the 'Matcha Ice Shark', named because the color is very close to matcha, and it contains a lot of ice magic in its body. These ice magic can effectively shield the perception of other creatures, allowing them to silently approach their prey, and are fearsome predators in the deep sea. ”
"The name...... It's really appetizing. The Ragdoll was speechless for a moment, then pointed to the matcha ice sharks who were playing against each other, and asked, "What are they doing?"
"ANY SHARK DOESN'T HAVE EGGS, IN FACT THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE YINJING. Ling Mo first corrected the mistake of the Ragdoll Bear, and then said:
"Do you think that when sharks eat, they swarm up and tear their prey to pieces and devour each other, as in the movie? Completely wrong! Sharks are united, in order to avoid conflicts over the distribution of food, they swim in opposite directions to determine each other's length, and the larger ones will eat first, and when they are full, it will be their turn to be next. As for why the collision was so violent, it was simply because their skin was too rough, and some medium-sized fish, even if they were not bitten, would be seriously injured or even killed on the spot if they were only hit by the shark's file-like skin!"
Just as Ling Mo was explaining, the group of matcha ice sharks had already lined up in order, and the largest female was at the front, prioritizing a large piece of fat liver from the giant whale's wound and swallowing it contentedly. Probably because the energy level of the giant whale beast is too much higher than them, each matcha ice shark only bites a big bite and completely eats it, and it doesn't take too much, this group of sharks has all eaten, and they are full of vitality, and the speed of swimming is obviously much faster.
Just as the Ragdoll Bear wanted to ask how to determine which shark the tyrant's body was in, and if it was difficult to kill them all one by one, the matcha ice sharks swam and swam around, and they were clearly divided into two groups, one was larger, the other was petite, and they opened their big mouths full of fangs between each other, and they pounced on each other's bodies like enemies of life and death!
Strangely, it was the smaller side that won the big victory! Except for a few unlucky ones, the vast majority of the little sharks bit the neck, dorsal fin and other parts of the big shark with their flexible body skills, and bit wildly! Those big sharks were also struggling desperately, slapping the body of the little shark with their tail fins, and blood was splashing everywhere!
Seeing this scene, the ragdoll bear looked at Ling Mo with a teasing face, his eyes were full of 'Teacher Ling, didn't you say that the sharks are very united, why were they slapped in the face immediately, hahahaha', Ling Mo spread his hands towards it, and said with some tears and laughter:
"You don't think this noodles are fighting, right? They have just eaten, their bodies are moving with rapid swimming, and their body temperature is very high, just like the so-called full warm thoughts**, this group of matcha ice sharks is now mating in a group!"
