Chapter Seventy-Seven: Hunters? Or is it prey?

The vicinity of coral reefs is always a place where the biota is relatively prosperous, the terrain here is complex, suitable for some small creatures to survive, food is abundant, and the average large predator cannot enter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Well, you can't get in general, and it's a different story like an armored scorpion or a hundred-armed giant.

But this kind of high-ranking lord shouldn't look down on this group of small fish and shrimp hiding in the coral reef, right? The gap between the plugs is too fine.

This does not mean that coral reefs are safe zones in the ocean, on the contrary, more high-level consumers will naturally be born in a more prosperous biota, which is actually just as dangerous!

For this reason, it is necessary to be cautious with these two small fish.

Two small fish slowly poked their heads out of the branches of the coral and looked around alertly.

It can be seen from the flexible movements of the small fish when they probe their brains that this is an endoskeletal organism, and it is an evolutionary direction that has been very popular recently, second only to exoskeleton evolution.

But no matter how you look at it, there seems to be something wrong with these two small fish......

If you look closer, you can see a second small fish closer to the coral branches, which is so close that its tail often sweeps between the branches.

Wait a minute! Not between the branches! It is the inside of a coral twig! The tail of that little fish passed through the middle!

, don't scare me, this book is obviously an evolutionary mutation of the science fiction division, right? !

Of course, this book is science fiction, and if you look closer, you can see that the first fish looks slightly unreal compared to the second fish, and it looks a little transparent in the sun, and most importantly, it swims without the shock of the current.

It's an optical projection!

The second little fish is real!

It was called the mirror fish, a small fish that was widely distributed in this era and fed on filtered plankton.

Although the body has been permanently solidified with a mirror image, and it is also a flexible and high-speed endoskeleton creature, the mirror fish has no idea of going out to wave.

It hasn't forgotten that even a slap in the face of a predator that is dozens of times stronger than it is enough to slap it into the reef and not pick it out.

Caution is the key to its survival, not mirroring or endoskeletons, of course, they are also important.

So the mirror fish would rather filter the water that has been sifted by the coral polyps several times in the coral forest, trying to extract the bits and pieces of bad luck from them, rather than go out and chase the plankton community in the sun.

It's better to still gentian, so you don't have to worry about anything. The mirror fish looked enviously at the slowly crawling gentian on the beach outside: everyone eats plankton, why is there such a big gap?

The gentian looks like an upside-down bowl, but there are more spikes on it. Its body seems to be condensed by purple crystals, and the body of the bowl is not smooth, but along the slope to manifest a sharp and angular cutting surface, if you want to find a more suitable adjective, it is probably a simple cut of amethyst.

However, it is really laborious to move such a heavy carapace, and only by seeing that the mirror fish has been staring at the gentian for so long, the gentian has moved a distance equivalent to its three positions, and you know that this thing is really not something that ordinary creatures can put on.

Gentian slowly opened the two-petal carapace on the front, and several soft tentacles stretched out from it, constantly pulling the sand on the ground into his carapace.

There is also plankton and organic matter in the sand, as long as you have the ability to filter it out.

After the gentian ate a wave of sand, he closed the carapace of the first section and silently lay on the spot to digest the sand.

After a while, the mirror fish staring at the gentian suddenly noticed that the gentian trembled violently.

What's going on? Can you eat sand and have a bad stomach?

Belch...... It seems to be really bad, but gentian is not a mirror fish, it should be fine, otherwise what is it doing with sand?

The gentian tripartite was turned on alternating current, and the violent trembling of the seven-like seizure didn't take long to stop, and the two crystals behind it suddenly opened, and the sand that had been eaten before was squeezed into a long strip and discharged.

The gentian that had drained the sand looked much more comfortable, shook its body, and took another step of its way, continuing at the speed of a snail peculiar to the gentians.

This...... The mirror fish felt that he felt the malice from the world.

This pulls out poop, right? It's poop, right? It must be, right? Feed! Is it a demon spirit? Grab that pooping pervert!

The next moment, the police comrades who fell from the sky flipped this guy who affected the appearance of the city to the ground, and the splashed sand and dust covered the eyes of the mirror fish, making it completely impossible to see the situation inside.

Hey, hey, hey, you showed up just after I beat the demon spirit, and that's too fast, right? You opened the portal and clicked in!

A towering carapace suddenly rose from the mist, and the slender carapace of the tower was carved with freehand wave patterns and moire patterns, which looked like a mysterious ancient charm.

Then, six or seven thick and powerful tentacles swept through the mist, and the full picture of the huge creature was finally revealed in front of the mirror fish.

That's the High Lord, the Nautilus.

With a three-meter-long carapace, powerful tentacles more than a meter long, which can crack open the mouthparts of any hard carapace, and a powerful water-jet propulsion method, this creature is simply an out-and-out heavy armor killer!

The gentian is finished, it is only an elite-level creature at best, not even a half-lord, and it doesn't even have a chance to struggle with the Nautilus.

The mirror fish did not run away, it knew that a guy of the level of the Canglan Nautilus couldn't look down on his few grams of meat at all, and the coral forest was also the environment that the Canglan Nautilus hated the most.

If there is a 1 in 10,000 chance that the walking lord will enter the coral forest because of fire or something, then the swimming lord whose main predatory organ is the tentacles will not enter the coral forest even if he is killed, so the mirror fish is not worried about their safety.

The smoke and dust gradually cleared, and I could see the situation there...... Huh? Gentian is not dead yet?

Belch...... But it doesn't seem to be in much better condition than dead......

The bowl-shaped body was completely turned over, and several spikes were inserted into the beach, firmly holding the body of Gentian, who could only kick his legs weakly against the sea, but could not improve even the slightest situation for himself.

You think that if you have a good tooth, you must have a hard bar, and the mouth is also a mouth that will wear out, and you usually have to take care of it, how can you use it so violently.

Canglan Nautilus Shi Shiran put on a comfortable posture, ready to enjoy a good meal, seeing this, the gentian in the bowl of amethyst armor struggled even more violently, as if it was about to come out at any time. In the eyes of the mirror fish, it is more like the Nautilus itself set up a bowl on the beach, then put the gentian in it, and then prepared to eat.

"Come to the bowl."

"You're just in the bowl!"

I believe that if Mr. Gentian has heard these two sentences, he will definitely be full of guilt.

But this is not the human world after all, it is impossible for you to say that you want to eat and eat quietly, and I just let you eat, I always want to give you the whole news, you creatures, there is a benefit, eating is more active than anyone else, you are willing to do anything in order to eat and live, but what about the things you do? I'm too impatient to give you the whole big news, and you still think that this sea is a free buffet.

"Let's go."

A small ball crossed a rounded arc and gently rolled down in front of the Nautilus.

“……”

Canglan Nautilus looked down inexplicably, and curiously played with the tentacles, and then ......

booooom!!

The water waves rolled, blowing up a place of sand and stones, and the lethality of the explosive bombs in the water was greater than that in the air, and even the mirror fish watching the play from a distance felt dizzy, and the mirror images were twisted in the water waves. One can imagine how much damage the Nautilus and gentian at the center of the explosion will suffer.

The mysterious enemy knew how to be quick and accurate, and four bombs were thrown into the dust in quick succession.

booooom!! booooom!! booooom!! booooom!!

The Nautilus lay limply on the beach, its appearance was not scarred, but its internal tissues had been severely damaged by the shock wave, and its now bare skin had burst into cracks, and pale blue blood was pouring out.

Four explosions in a row almost took away the life of the mirror fish, and it could only lean on the coral to breathe with difficulty, and half of the mirror image next to it was in the coral, completely piercing.

A tall figure stepped out of the mist, its front two breastplates open, and three air sacs of different sizes were constantly contracting and relaxing.

Some people still remember the ...... on the shore of Daming Lake Ahh It's spicy again!

Mr. Allahu Akbar is here!

Mr. Bomb Maniac's combat limbs have shrunk considerably, and it seems that he has adopted explosive bombs as his primary means of combat hunting.

The bomb maniac didn't get close to the Nautilus, obviously it still had a trace of concern: throwing away the bomb as an attack method, its own combat power was only a low-level lord, and it wasn't sure that the Canglan Nautilus had really lost its combat effectiveness.

At this moment, the gentian, which had just collapsed in the bowl, suddenly broke free from the bowl, abandoned its shell, and ran away with a jump!

It sheds its shell! Run! Finish!

How could this guy come out of his shell! Wrong...... How is this guy not affected by the bomb!

But the bomb maniac didn't care about the little shredded flesh and ran away, and all it had in its eyes was a nautilus as huge as it was.

After a few hesitations, the bomb maniac plucked another bomb from his breastplate!

The mirror fish was desperate, and sure enough, when he saw the Nautilus, he should have run away quickly, many of the senior lords have aoe skills, and sweeping over may not hurt the lord of the same level much, and it is a second kill for the onlookers and flowers and plants.

And ...... for yourself Probably not even the onlookers, basically belong to the level of flowers and plants.

The Nautilus screamed, spit out the pieces of internal organs in its mouth, and rushed over with a torrent of water!

Sure enough, it still has some room to spare!
