Chapter Twenty-Seven: Departure
"Goodbye, Mr. Seafish."
On the boat, Marcel stood there, looking at the blackfish that was gradually moving away, waving goodbye.
Next to him, there was also Captain Joser Carver and the others, watching the blackfish disappear into the distance, revealing a sad look.
But then, Qiao Ze patted Marcel on the shoulder and said, "The ship has arrived, and we need to move and unload the goods." ”
"Yes."
Marcel nodded heavily, walked to the loading dock, and began to unload.
His father's revenge was avenged, and he felt full of strength, but he also had a touch of regret in his heart, and he didn't know when he would be able to see this black fish again.
But he believes they will meet again one day.
。。。
In the depths of the sea in the distance of the island, Xia Qiu looked at the merchant ships in the distance, snorted, circled, and left towards the back of the island.
After a day and a night of sailing, early the next morning, merchant ships arrived on the island and were unloading their cargo at the harbor.
Xia Qiu planned to use this island as a place to live next, so he stayed away from merchant ships, and then made a detour to avoid merchant ships.
In summer and autumn, I first circumnavigated the island, mainly to explore the depth of water near the island and the size of the perimeter of the island.
The island is huge, much bigger than the village of Nar.
This small island, about six kilometers long and about two kilometers wide, roughly calculated, has an area of twelve square kilometers, which is almost three times the size of the village of Nar.
There are two settlements on the east and west of the village, which are cut between mountains and jungles, and in terms of the height of the mountains, they are not as high as the island on which the village of Nar is located.
The water depth is relatively large, and there are deep-water ports in the settlements on the east and west sides, and the water depth is more than 10 meters, which is enough to stay in the large ships of this era of more than 100 meters.
To the south, the mountains are clearly visible, but at the edge of the mountains from the coast, the terrain is relatively flat and uninhabited.
The water is even deeper, about 50 meters, like a cliff, stretching to the bottom of the sea.
And from 500 meters, the water depth reaches 100 meters.
As soon as Xia Qiu entered this area, he was surrounded by a group of great white sharks, the longest of which was nine meters long, and the shortest was about five meters.
This length has exceeded the average length and maximum length of great white sharks on Earth.
No wonder it is uninhabited, with such a fierce group of sharks, few people will come close here.
These sharks are not afraid of Xia Qiu's huge size, they have hunted blue whales more than thirty meters long, and the first thing they do in the face of Xia Qiu is to rush over and attack.
With sharp teeth and a strong bite, these sharks have few enemies in this sea.
But they don't have any power against Xia Qiu.
The bite force of these sharks can reach 1,600 pounds at the largest, and only about 8,900 pounds at the few.
Such a force could not break through the defenses of Xia and Autumn at all, and could only leave sunken potholes.
What's more, their mouth size is limited, and they can't take Xia Qiu's body into their mouths, and they can't bite down vertically, so the bite force can't be maximized.
And the scales in summer and autumn are smooth, and if you bite down diagonally, your teeth can only slip, and your strength is scattered.
In such a situation, the bite force can exert 40 percent, which is already a lot.
So their attack, on Xia Qiu's body, can only leave white marks.
It is worth worrying about the attacks of these sharks on the fins of summer and autumn fish.
The fins have hard spines and are huge and hard, but they are easy for sharks to bite, leaving deep tooth marks, and a few bites can bite the fins.
So they're still going to be a threat.
Xia Qiu launched a counterattack at the same time as the opponent's attack.
Bang.
Xia Qiu swung his body, swept his tail, and directly knocked a shark into the air.
Then he opened his huge mouth, put a shark in the mouth, closed his teeth, and bit the middle of the shark directly into the abdomen.
As for the head and tail, Xia Qiu had no thoughts of eating.
Click, click.
Xia Qiu bit the sharks to death one by one.
The group numbered more than a dozen sharks, and after eating six sharks in the summer and autumn, the remaining sharks scattered and fled.
Xia Qiu chased after and bit one to death, and the rest of the sharks had disappeared.
Running too fast.
Xia Qiu stopped the chase and slowly retracted his body, surrounded by a strong smell of blood.
After eating sharks, Xia Qiu developed a wide olfactory membrane, and had a strong sense of smell like a shark, and he could smell blood from a distance.
But like sharks, Xia Qiu doesn't feel crazy because of the smell of blood.
A strong sense of smell is simply an ability to sense prey.
Even if the olfactory membrane captures blood and amino acids, it still distinguishes prey based on the type of smell.
Sharks don't go crazy when they encounter blood, it's just a message from the blood that tells him it's food and catches it.
And among them, human blood is not the food that sharks want, sharks are more interested in getting blood, guts and amino acids from marine animals.
Therefore, sharks generally do not actively hunt humans, and sharks are not really so aggressive, except for hunting, they rarely take the initiative to attack.
The phenomenon of general attacks occurs when people, animals, or even objects intrude into their habitats.
In the documentary Shark Ocean, Xia and Autumn saw that the average number of people killed by sharks is five per year, and of course sometimes it can reach ten people a year.
But what can be assured is that fewer people die each year from shark mouths than from taking selfies, and most of the dead have attacked sharks at some point.
Sharks are very timid and will feel frightened when they encounter unfamiliar creatures and objects, so they will be wary.
At this time, any action you make that he will perceive as an attack is threatening.
So the best thing to do when you see a shark is to stay still, ignore him, don't have any thoughts of attacking, and don't get in the way.
He doesn't feel threatened by you, so he won't see you as a threat and will swim past you.
Sharks other than the great white shark, especially small sharks, rarely attack people unless you attack him, or he can't see clearly and recognizes you as a seal and turtle, or you keep getting in the way.
Many people who like to dive expect to encounter sharks, not only will they not avoid them, but they will also try to take pictures with them.
There are even many diving spots where you can encounter sharks as a selling point, and shark diving has become a pursuit for many diving enthusiasts.
Xia Qiu once tried shark diving, but it was too late, humans entered this sea area, and the noise made sharks take the initiative to stay away, which has to be said to be a pity.
So if you want to meet sharks, you have to do it early.
Xia Qiu slowly returned to the shore, where the water was deep enough for him to enter and exit freely.
Therefore, in summer and autumn, I plan to use this place as a habitat, regularly remove the large marine fish around it, and maintain a certain peace in the sea area.
Even if they hunt, in addition to going deep into the ocean, they will go to other parts of the sea.
In this way, it is possible to demarcate a part of the territory and manage this part of the sea, and it can also prevent it from being discovered by other humans to the greatest extent.
After that, you can go through a long period of growth.
His four enhancements are enough to lead a sea creature of the same size.
As long as you remain cautious and don't provoke the strong, you won't encounter too much danger.
The rest is to grow step by step.
Xia Qiu plans to stay here as long as possible.
Live a life of ordinary, peaceful, and non-threatening.
。。。
The gates of Impel Prison slowly opened, and a prisoner was sent out of the prison by a naval warship.
Outside the prison, a huge pirate ship is parked there, and it is full of people.
The prisoner looked at the ship that had come to pick him up, and the figure standing on it, but his face was gloomy.
How can it fall to this point.
I definitely can't be like you.
He thought, his legs bent slightly, and his body shot out, like a cannonball, and landed on the pirate ship, looking at the figure at the head, he opened his mouth and showed a hideous smile.
Xia Qiu would never have imagined that in the near future, this prisoner who had just been released from Impel Prison would shatter his peaceful life and turn his life upside down.
And for a long time, he was Xia Qiu's strongest enemy.
