Chapter 22: The Attack
The merchant ship sailed into the distance, the water rippled, and the fish followed behind the merchant ship.
Sou.
A seagull swoops down, enters the water, bites a sea fish, and soars into the sky.
"I'm hungry."
Xia Qiu felt extremely hungry in her belly, and now it had been two hours since she left the harbor, but she had only traveled twelve or thirteen nautical miles.
In this way, the speed of the sailboat is generally about six or seven knots, which is much slower than swimming on its own.
My digestion speed is very fast, even if I ate it once before leaving, I have now digested it.
"Need to eat."
Xia Qiu looked at the sea fish around her, which swam with her and the merchant ship.
In the ocean, there are small fish that follow ships and giant fish, such as sharks or whales.
The main reason is that you can use the opponent's strong body shape to cover up, and at the same time, you can eat the meat scraps left after their predation.
Many of these small fish are solitary or solitary fish.
They tend to stay at a distance and then disperse.
Seagulls often hover above the ship because of the fish, waiting for the opportunity to continue.
Xia Qiu has no interest in hunting them, they are too small to stuff their teeth between their teeth.
Xia Qiu dived directly down.
It's deep.
The water depth here is already relatively large, at least hundreds of meters, and the end of what you can see is only a deep darkness.
In summer and autumn, I had to follow the sea boat, so I didn't dive too deep.
"There."
Xia Qiu's eyes locked on the distance, a group of fish were swimming wantonly, with a silver-white body and a slender body.
They gather together, sometimes swimming to the left front, sometimes to the right, and sometimes swirling around the current, forming a silvery-white storm.
Xia Qiu rushed over directly, opened his mouth, and bit it down.
Wow.
The fish scattered in all directions, but there were still seven or eight of them swallowed by Xia Qiu in his mouth, and after biting them, he swallowed them into his stomach.
Too little.
These fish are not even a mouthful of food.
Summer and autumn did not pursue the fleeing fish, and it is estimated that the consumption of chasing them is greater than the energy they provide.
In summer and autumn, there are many schools of fish, but most of them are small fish and have no value to catch.
Xia Qiu looked at the sea around her and continued to dive, and the light around her began to dim.
Coming to a water depth of 100 meters, Xia Qiu continued to swim forward, but he kept feeling the sea boat above his head.
Xia Qiu has a paralinear nervous system and mechanosensory abilities, and can feel the vibrations caused by fish or animals in the water up to 600 meters away.
The size of the sea ship is large, and the vibration during the driving process is greater, and this distance can even reach 200 meters, so Xia Qiu does not have to worry about the merchant ship leaving his perception range at all.
Whether it is the paraline nervous system or the mechanosensory ability, it is an evolved ability that grows after eating.
Most of their special evolution comes from hunted objects.
Therefore, these two abilities are largely obtained through sharks, and I have eaten dozens of sharks in the process of growing up, and I have evolved the corresponding abilities.
Of course, there are not only these in sharks, such as molars, there are many rows of teeth, which were originally sharp teeth, but after falling off a few times, they were later converted into molars.
There is also a sense of smell, and my sense of smell has also been greatly improved, which is the fastest growing ability.
Sharks have a strong sense of smell and can perceive the smell of blood at a millionth concentration, and in 10,000 tons of seawater, a drop of a gram of amino acids can also be perceived by sharks.
He has a strong sense of smell and can easily catch injured creatures.
Xia Qiu swam forward, and after he left, the small fish that were scattered by him gathered together again.
After swimming for a distance, Xia Qiu suddenly found that not far above him, a huge fish appeared.
"Huh?"
Xia Qiu slowly floated up and locked on to the target.
The fish is about fifteen meters long, with a slender, spindle-shaped, black scales covering the body, and a slightly flattened head, but a very large mouth with fine teeth inside.
Very good.
Xia Qiu locked on to the target and immediately rushed forward.
This sea fish sensed the arrival of Xia Qiu, although his length was only three meters smaller than Xia Qiu, but the same fish, fifteen meters long and eighteen meters long, the weight difference was more than ten tons.
His body is long and narrow, and his weight is smaller than when he was fifteen meters in Xia Qiu, about twenty-five tons.
Now Xia Qiu is already about fifty tons, and the difference between the two is very big.
The arrival of Xia Qiu brought great pressure to this sea fish, and he chose to run away almost instantly.
Run?
Can you run away?
Xia Qiu twisted his body, and the huge fins swayed, he had more pelvic fins and anal fins than many fish, and his speed was naturally much faster.
Xia Qiu quickly came behind the other party, opened his mouth and bit it.
Sou.
But the next moment, the fish turned to the left, and Xia Qiu bit into the air.
It's flexible.
Xia Qiu caught up again, getting closer and closer, came behind it, and swooped down.
The fish swam to the left again, but the moment it turned around, Xia Qiu had already expected it, and directly turned its head and bit it.
Click.
The middle part of the marine fish was bitten by Xia Qiu, and a large part of the body was bitten off directly.
The fish twitched a few times, then stopped.
Xia Qiu immediately pounced, gnawed heavily, and swallowed the flesh into his stomach.
Xia Qiu planned to eat more this time, and ate about three tons of food, which could ensure that he would not be hungry for two hours.
After eating in the summer and autumn, he swam to the sea and caught up with the boat.
And when he was gone, the other fish swarmed and surrounded the fish.
。。。
"The fish is back."
Marcel leaned on the gang and shouted into the distance.
"Really? It seems that he is in love with our boat. A voice sounded in the distance.
Marcel turned his head and stared at the fish below, curious to see what the fish was doing with the boat.
He has been on a boat since he was very young and has seen dolphins and whales and sharks sail with the boat.
But most of them will only leave after a certain distance.
But this fish has been following for three hours, what is he going to do?
Marcel was very curious and observed the fish with great interest.
But at this time, on the mast, a voice suddenly sounded, "Pirate ship, there is a pirate ship coming this way." ”
Are there pirates?
Accompanied by his voice, everyone was a little apprehensive, but the movements were not flustered, but the movements were not flustered, each of them had encountered pirates.
As long as the wealth is handed over, the pirates generally do not choose to kill, and as for kidnapping, they generally do not do it when there is no worthy target on the ship and when they belong to the Great Chamber of Commerce.
So they prepared in an orderly manner, someone went to inform the captain, someone raised the sails, someone prepared to turn the rudder to avoid.
Qiao Ze picked up the binoculars and looked into the distance, and then his eyes shrank slightly.
"See? What are the Pirates? ”
The captain came out of the cabin and asked loudly.
Qiao Ze said with an ugly face: "It's the Dominica Pirates." ”
Hearing Qiao Ze's words, everyone's faces turned gloomy, especially Marcel, who had a look of anger and hatred on his face.
The Dominica Pirates are the pirates who killed Marcel's father.
Fierce, greedy.
Meeting them is not a good sign.
