1280.The Great Cleansing of the Sea (3/8)

After dragging the school of swordfish back to the fishing grounds, it was not too early, and Qin Shiou decided to go back to sleep.

He walked on the beach, and behind him were Xiong Da, Tiger Leopard, Mink Brother Mink Sister, King Simba, and Little Radish Head playing and making noise, all in harmony.

After settling the little guy, Qin Shiou kissed them one by one, and after returning to the bedroom, he took out a file and filed some bone meal from the carapace of the black cover giant insect and fed it to Da Bai, and finally he could sleep.

At dinner in the morning, Auerbach read the newspaper and handed it to Winnie, saying, "How did the news spread so quickly?" ”

Qin Shiou leaned in and followed it to take a look, this is a "St. John's Morning News", and on the tourism section, it reported the news that poisonous shellfish were found on Farewell Island, and next to it was a picture of a password snail, titled "Tropical Killers Are Present, How Did They Come About".

Winnie frowned and said, "Damn, this shouldn't be, the news was blocked very well at the time, how did these media know?" ”

Shirley echoed: "Yes, our teachers and classmates are speculating about what is going on, the school just told us not to go near the beach, many people say that there are sea monsters, ghost ships, etc., no one would have thought that there would be any poisonous shellfish." ”

People are old and elve, horses are old and slippery, rabbits are old and eagles are difficult to take, just from this news, Auerbach analyzed: "There is a name behind these poisonous shells, be careful, Winnie, someone may be dealing with us." ”

Qin Shiou patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, "Check this slowly, give me the poisonous shellfish, I will definitely be able to give an explanation today." ”

As he spoke, he winked at Winnie: "Don't forget what your man eats, it's not easy to dive to find a poisonous shellfish?" ”

After breakfast he took all the fishermen who could dive to the town docks, and Shaq shouted over the radio channel. Quite a few people came with diving equipment.

Knowing that they were going to dive to find the poison shells, Don Kee Barton, who was in charge of the fossil salvage work at Shenbao Lake, also sent some divers to help. These people are all diving masters hired by the National Fossil Museum Research Institute, and it is naturally better to have their help.

When Qin Shiou arrived at the dock. There were already many people gathered on the beach waiting to see the excitement, and he knew most of the townspeople, and those who didn't know each other were familiar, so he greeted them all the way.

But when he walked to the beach, he saw a small group of people with light brown skin, black hair and black eyes, high noses, and narrow faces, which were completely different from the Caucasian aborigines of Farewell Island.

See these people. Qin Shiou became vigilant in his heart, and then pulled Xiao Hughes over and asked, "Who are those guys?" How come I haven't seen it before? ”

Hughes Jr. glanced at it and said, "Mexican, not long after coming to the island, said that they came to set up a stall to sell some Mexican specialties, what's wrong?" ”

Qin Shiou shook his head and said that he just felt that his eyes were raw, and Farewell Island was obviously framed this time, and it was very likely that these Mexicans did it.

Winnie and Haney arrived, as did Saunders, who was temporarily hired as a technical advisor for the search for the poison shell. Provide safety guidance.

The old professor had a real idea, and he said, "I met with Dr. Odom, and he separated the wound tissue of the injured tourist yesterday and extracted the residual tooth and tongue components. After I analyzed it, I decided that there was a cipher snail in the sea. ”

"Normally, when the cipher snail is hunting. Will bury the body in the sand, just exposing the nose to the outside. This not only allows for access to oxygen. It is also possible to monitor the movements of prey. ”

"So it may be difficult to search, so you have to be patient. It is also necessary to be vigilant, the tooth tongue of the code taro snail can grow up to one centimeter long, which is very sharp, and the skin must not be exposed to them. ”

"But don't worry too much, among all kinds of snails, fish as a natural food are the most poisonous, followed by molluscs, and sea insects as food will not kill humans."

"The code snail feeds on mollusks, and the toxicity is not very strong, you should pay attention to this kind of chicken heart snail after you search for it, if they have a narrow shell mouth, the toxicity is relatively low, and the wider the shell mouth, the stronger the toxicity, the more careful you have to be."

After Sanders finished popularizing basic knowledge, Qin Shiou asked in his heart, "Professor, you said they were hidden in the sand?" But I remember asking the tourist yesterday, and he said that the chicken heart snail he saw was on the surface of the seabed, what happened? ”

"Quite simply, if that's the case, either the snails are ready to mate and lay eggs, or they've just been here." Sanders said.

Hearing this, Qin Shiou confirmed his guess that Farewell Island was designed.

When the sun rose and the water temperature was warmer, Qin Shiou took the fishermen and divers into the water, and they also conducted an investigation, starting from the location where the tourists were injured.

Qin Shiou put the fourteen password snails around here last night, so there was no difficulty in searching, nearly thirty people dived into the water, and the good news came out soon after the search.

Qin Shiou didn't go to the location where the chicken heart snail was, he wandered casually at the bottom of the sea, watching the underwater environment.

Because the surrounding fishing grounds are rich in fish resources, and there are many fish in the town's public fishing grounds, but the growth of seaweed and aquatic plants is relatively bad, and the marine fish are just passing by here, and they will not stay for long.

In this way, the bottom of the public fishing ground is much cleaner, and there are pieces of gravel and fine sand underneath, Qin Shiou reached out and dug a handful, and the fine sand flowed with the seawater, which was very beautiful.

After staying underwater for more than half an hour, Qin Shiou came up to breathe and decompress, and saw Shaq, Bull and others sitting on the boat talking and laughing loudly, looking at their sneering appearance, he knew that they had found the password snail.

Less than ten minutes after Qin Shiou surfaced, someone else surfaced, excitedly raised his net and shouted, "Look, guys, what did I find?" Six coded snails! ”

Shaq laughed, "We found eight!" ”

Qin Shiou frowned and said, "How can there be so many?" ”

When he said this, Shaq also frowned: "When we found these eight chicken snails, they were all on top of the sand layer, and they were not lurking, and the location was too concentrated, I think they were looked at here." ”

The diver with the net in his hand nodded and said, "All the same, man, it was the same when I found them, they didn't hide in the sand at all, they were just swaggering and hunting. ”

Others surfaced one after another, and naturally they didn't find the chicken snails, and the two batches of chicken snails had already come out.

Shaq and the divers went ashore and handed over the chicken snail to Sanders, Qin Shiou continued to look for it, he knew that there was no more, but the others didn't know, for the sake of safety, at least they had to search within 200 meters of the sea.

Of course, there is nothing to be found in the back. (To be continued......)
