186. Deep Sea Fear

Sea turtles are a mysterious species that live in ocean currents, mainly in waters near the edge of the currents and close to the shore, and are not many in the main axis of ocean currents.

Sea turtles are not a small number in the Pacific Ocean, and there are even more of them than in other seas.

Although they inhabit water all their lives, and most of them are concentrated in waters between 0 and 50 meters deep, few people can catch them.

That's not just because they're picky about bait, but also because they're very sensitive to it.

At a depth of 50 meters, they can still sense the movement above the surface and react to whether to flee or attack, but most of them still run away, after all, sea turtles themselves are not aggressive.

Its whole body, and its only attack position is its mouth.

"The mouth is short and rounded, the front end of the palate is not hooked, and the inner surface of its has two vertical angular crests; The lower jaw is slightly hooked upward, the jaw margin is strongly serrate, and the masticatory surface has a middle crest connected by short aine processes..."

These professional terms slowly came out of Chen Xiao's mouth, which was extremely familiar to him, he didn't expect that one day, he would actually fall to the point of going to the sea to catch turtles, although it was not voluntary.

"It's only when you encounter difficulties that you realize the importance of learning."

Chen Xiao admired his learning ability, and he could remember such complex life habits and physical characteristics so clearly, which also made him full of confidence in this capture operation.

Taking advantage of the bright sun and the gentle breeze, Chen Xiao jumped into the sea.

Chen Xiao was wearing a diving suit that the head chef turned out of the boat, which looked quite new, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't be stupid enough to fall directly into the sea.

You must know that Chen Xiao's armor is not waterproof, if you jump directly, you will drown in the water within a few minutes.

Before entering the water, Chen Xiao looked at the capacity of the oxygen cylinder, which was enough for him to stay underwater for half an hour, which also gave him a preventive shot.

Counting the time of the return trip, plus the time of holding his breath, he only has a maximum of twenty minutes to arrest, and he can't do it for an extra second.

When he came to the sea, Chen Xiao's eyes were instantly shrouded in endless darkness, which was the same as he thought, at the bottom of the sea, the vision of any creature would be limited, the lower the sea level, the closer the line of sight.

But fortunately, Chen Xiao's ear power is okay, and the bottom of the sea is relatively calm, so he can hear the surrounding sounds.

Chen Xiao's idea is to complete two tasks together at 50 meters under the sea, and if you are lucky, you can complete both tasks at the same time, even if you are unlucky, you can directly load the water and go back.

In addition to the oxygen cylinder, he also carried two grappling hooks, a fishing net, and two bottles.

Grappling hooks and fishing nets are used to catch turtles, and bottles are used to hold water.

The grappling hook is specially made, and there is a small barb on the surface of the hook to better control the turtle's movements.

The fishing net, on the other hand, is made of steel wire, which is extremely hard, and even if two people with strengthened bodies face to face, they will continue to be pulled.

Chen Xiao kept swimming, and it was really bad to only use his ears to identify the direction, which made him unable to better recognize his position.

But fortunately, he has a zombie perception, and he can sense whether there are zombies or mutant beasts around him.

Judging from the current situation, he is still safe at the moment, and he has not found any mutant beasts.

"Almost, at my speed, it should be 50 meters faster."

Chen Xiao gradually stabilized his figure, and while perceiving the surroundings, he took out the bottle hanging beside him and began to fill it.

The pressure on the bottom of the sea is very strong, and if you open the bottle directly and fill it with water, you will definitely not be able to fill it, and only by piercing a small eye at the mouth of the bottle will the seawater slowly flow into the bottle.

Chen Xiao picked up the thin needle that had been hanging on the mouth of the bottle early, wanting to pierce the mouth of the bottle.

But unexpectedly, a shrill sound suddenly came from beside him, which made his body tremble uncontrollably.

The sound was like a sound wave, constantly flowing under the sea, and at the same time running through Chen Xiao's body.

But it only lasted for a while, and the voice gradually dissipated, and Chen Xiao gradually regained his composure and straightened his body.

"What is this sound? So terrifying? ”

After Chen Xiao straightened his body, he finally sensed the source of this sound.

Not far from him, there was a behemoth swimming towards him, and it was impossible to tell what kind of species it was by its size, but it was known that it was huge and fast.

Chen Xiao's first reaction was to quickly dodge.

He hurriedly swam to a nearby reef and hid his body behind him, watching the scene in the distance.

It's a hard time to wait, especially in the depths of the ocean.

There is a disease called deep-sea phobia, which is actually a mental illness caused by a fear of the unknown in the deep-sea world.

It's understandable that anyone is afraid of the unknown, but once you see the real thing, it's not so scary.

This disease can also be called unknown phobia, but I usually think about it and don't experience it personally.

And this time, Chen Xiao has personally experienced the fear of the deep sea.

The black shadow in front of him became bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and finally showed the prototype in front of Chen Xiao's eyes.

This is a huge sea turtle, almost the size of five Chen Xiao, or even a small room.

The turtle was covered in black scales, and the shell on its body was even more black and glowing, and there were even a few clumps of seagrass growing on it.

The red eyes were shining, and the mouth below was full of barbed teeth, even out of the mouth.

In addition to the black scales on its limbs, it also has several spikes protruding from its joints, which looks very aggressive, and its claws are also very sharp.

It's hard to imagine that a turtle in the sea would look like this.

Chen Xiao stayed quietly behind the reef and did not move, he was thinking about whether to catch this turtle, or wait a little longer to see if there was any other prey.

There is 60% of the oxygen cylinder left behind him, and half of it is still available, which means that he still has 15 minutes to go.

This is not enough time to wait for the next one, and this is the best time to catch it.

"Love to fight to win! The opportunity must be grasped in order to turn into success! ”

Chen Xiao took out the hook behind him and gently walked around the turtle.

However, this turtle is not an idle person, and this is still a mutated turtle, there is a little slight flow around it, and it can feel the fluctuations of the sea.

When Chen Xiao touched it, it had already spotted him.

The turtle jerked back and grabbed behind it with one paw, but pounced on it, only to see a fishing net covering it so hard that it could not move.

Along with it were two hooks that held its two forelimbs firmly and immobilized.

Seeing the turtle being caught, Chen Xiao's heart also relaxed.

All this was his plan, and he knew that the turtle would not be easily baited, and the only way to catch it was to lure the snake out of the hole.

Deliberately expose the target to make it feel like it has an opportunity, and then take advantage of the gap between his attacks to catch it alive with fishing nets and hooks.

However, although the turtle has been tied to the fishing net and cannot move, its own weight is still difficult for Chen Xiao to bear, not to mention that this is at the bottom of the sea, and the turtle, which is already heavy, has now become heavier.

"No! Kill it first so you don't have to spend any more energy struggling! ”

Chen Xiao decided to kill the turtle first, he took out a small knife from his side and came to the turtle's head, wanting to correct it on the spot.

But the turtle's body is extremely hard, not something that can be cut by an ordinary knife, and it also has a turtle shell to defend itself.

After being caught in the net, the turtle retracts its head into the shell and its limbs with it, and although it does not enter completely, it still effectively avoids the vital parts.

Chen Xiao was also extremely helpless at this time, this situation made him not know what to do?

There is still 40% oxygen in the body, and there are about five minutes to go, if you can't get this turtle up, then you have to give up the prey for a while, wait until the surface of the sea is changed to oxygen, and then come down to look for it.
