Qin Shiou was afraid that rashly taking this strange creature out of the water would lead to death, so he injected some Seagod energy into the one in his hand.

The small creature in his hand was originally a dull gray-black body, but after absorbing the energy of the sea god, the skin suddenly slowly brightened, and finally turned into the same dark red as some of its kind.

This discovery made him wonder, what was going on? This little thing is really weird.

Swimming out of the sea, Qin Shiou spit out the oxygen tube in his mouth, and shouted to Sha Ke, who was not far away from the boat and put the net: "Lao Sha, come here, I have something here for you to see what it is." ”

The breeding net was not finished yet, and Shaq couldn't drive the boat over, so he drove the motorboat hanging on the side of the boat to arrive quickly, but after he came to Qin Shiou's side and saw the appearance of these strange little creatures, he showed the same blank expression on his face, and said, "What is this, what is this?" I don't think I've seen it, could it be some kind of mutated creature? ”

Indeed, this little thing in Qin Shiou's hand looks a bit sci-fi, and it is easy for people to think about other aspects.

However, he thought it would be better to ask Professor Sanders, such as the light bulb sea squirt, which Shaq and the fishermen did not recognize, and Professor Sanders did not even need to look at the photograph to know what it was after listening to the description.

This time, when Qin Shiou called, Sanders was overjoyed after hearing his description, and exclaimed, "Hey, this is not a mutated creature, when I passed, you actually captured these little guys?" Good luck! ”

The old professor is also hot, he is still in Toronto, he said that he would leave, and hung up the phone after leaving a sentence, which made Qin Shiou stunned: The old professor didn't tell him what this was!

Fortunately, Sanders was not confused, and then called again and said, "I'm sorry. Qin, I'm too anxious. I just wanted to book a flight and hung up on you. I'll introduce you to that. The thing in your hand is called a vampire octopus, and its scientific name is a ghost moth. By the way, is it still alive? ”

Qin Shiou looked at the strange guy in his hand and said, "Alive, but it doesn't seem to be very good." ”

Hearing this, the old professor became nervous and said, "Be careful, Qin, you must be careful, hurry up and kill it—damn it." I don't know what to do, you don't have a pressure pump in your hand, it's a deep-sea creature that will die quickly if it appears in the shallow sea! ”

Qin Shiou hurriedly injected Seagod energy into this little creature, and at the same time also injected Seagod energy into several underwater creatures to supply their vitality, and then said: "Don't worry, they don't look like a big problem, they just don't feel comfortable living, and they don't look like they're going to die......"

"They? Not it? Oh God. How many vampire octopuses do you have there? The old professor asked excitedly.

Qin Shiou said: "Now that six have been found, I don't know how many are still in the water." Professor, can you tell me what this thing is? Are they precious? Why are you so excited? ”

The old professor's voice rose again: "Of course I'm excited, of course I'm excited. This is a living fossil in the ocean! They may have survived on Earth for tens of millions of years, and they are the same era as the dinosaurs! And they are very rare to see alive, because they live in deep waters of one to four thousand meters. It's so small and so small that it's so hard to come across them! ”

Qin Shiou shrugged and put the little thing into the water. Anyway, it's already under his control, and I'm not afraid of them escaping. Let's let them survive in the water first.

Although Sanders says that vampire octopuses live in deep waters, he feels that these guys seem to be alive in shallow waters.

Sanders then explained to him that the vampire squid appeared at least 80 million years ago, and possibly even older, and that they were the ancestors of squid and octopuses, and that they originally lived in shallow seas. However, at that time, they had a natural predator called plesiosaur, and squid without hard shell protection could easily become food for plesiosaurs, so they had to move to the deep sea in order to avoid the hunting of natural predators.

There is an atavism phenomenon in living things, and it is possible that this phenomenon is present in these vampire octopuses, so that they can appear near the sea without dying. Of course, this was just speculation, and Sanders said that to determine what was going on, he would have to go and look into it.

Qin Shiou asked strangely: "But I think, professor, these guys have no research value, right?" Why are you so excited? Just because their living bodies are rare? ”

Professor Sanders laughed and said, "Of course not, Qin, I'm excited for you, do you remember the black cover giant worm you gave me?" I've been researching the black cap giant worms, and they seem to have a mysterious connection to the vampire squid, I analyzed the carapace composition of the black cap giant beetle, and then compared them in the database, and found that they are similar to the composition of the teeth on the tentacles of the vampire squid! ”

"Also, don't you know, the vampire squid now leaves a suspense in marine biology and evolution, that is, why did an ordinary creature 80 million or even hundreds of millions of years ago survive for so long without any evolution? I think that the composition of their teeth and the carapace composition of the black cap giant insect may be able to answer the question! ”

Hearing that this little thing was related to the black cover giant insect, Qin Shiou suddenly became excited. He himself knows best how big the secret of the black cover giant worm is, it is a powerful existence that can delay the metabolism of living beings and increase the length of their lives! Although the situation is getting worse and worse, Dabai has been alive by eating the black cover giant beetle powder and absorbing the energy of the sea god!

Qin Shiou hurriedly strengthened his control over the six little vampire octopuses, and then found an aquarium and put them in, continuously inputting Seagod energy into them to maintain their lives.

But he thought about it and put the remaining five in the water, leaving only one in the aquarium.

He left a sea god consciousness and looked at the five vampire octopuses, thinking something else about them.

In the evening of the same day, Sanders rushed to the fishing grounds, and what he saw was the only vampire octopus left in the aquarium, and when he saw this, he asked nervously, "Qin, what about the other five little guys?" ”

Qin Shiou smiled bitterly and said: "I'm sorry, professor, I saw these guys when I was diving, they were attached to Geng's body at that time, I only brought one to the surface, and the others went to look for them later, I don't know where they went." You know, they're so small, and they also control the color of the body, and it's hard to find them if you miss them once. ”

Yes, the body of a vampire octopus can emit bioluminescence, which is to turn the surface of the body into a deep red color.

Vampire octopuses live in the deep sea, and one of the means of survival is this biological light, and when they sense danger, they will suddenly glow to confuse predators and run away. In the morning, when Qin Shiou infused the vampire octopus in his hand with the energy of the sea god, he saw with his own eyes the scene of it emitting crimson light. (To be continued.) )
