Chapter 182: Finding a Way to Break Through the Encirclement......
Surrounded by a heavy siege and tentative attacks, waves of unsettled waves rose again and again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, Xinglan felt that she was in a lot of trouble.
Several sea giants who seemed to be out hunting had reunited, communicating with each other in the language of that ultrasonic frequency, and Xinglan had finally encountered this problem for the first time in history: the language barrier, and she couldn't understand what they were saying.
Yes, you heard it right, Xinglan, who has always been able to decipher languages quickly, encountered the problem of not being able to communicate for the first time. In fact, it is very simple, most of the civilizations she encountered in the past are civilizations with a good level of technology, so she only needs to invade the other party's database or the network to quickly get a large number of words to forcibly decipher, but now the sea giant she met has no vocabulary for her to read, and it is difficult to even say whether there is a text, and the grammatical composition of this ultrasonic language is also very different from some of the languages she commonly uses.
Huh? You say it's a direct memory invasion? Xinglan can't even read the memory centers of ordinary animals intact, let alone the more complex brains of intelligent creatures.
If you have enough time to make observations, it is natural to decipher the pronunciation of this primitive language, which does not have a lot of vocabulary, but in a short time...... I'm afraid Xinglan can only guess what they mean based on the sea giant's movements and demeanor.
The sea giant who held the corpse of the devouring sand pu caught the biggest prey this time, but he was not the one who gained the most. The other two sea giants acting together on the side were really surprised by what Xinglan was holding, because it was a very familiar thing: a large tenacious net.
It's not an instinctive act, it's a real use of tools to get food, driven by intelligence. Some of them may not be as large as the sand cattails, but there are also fish tens of centimeters long who are struggling in this net at this time, especially some of the big ones are struggling, and even the strong sea giants have to be vigilant to pull the net hard to prevent them from accidentally breaking free.
However, that's all, there is no need to worry about these big fish jumping around breaking this net, just because its material is not something that is randomly knitted, but some kind of natural product that Xinglan can see at a glance...... This is a web woven by sea trees.
The beautiful silver thread that seemed to be able to glow was as delicate and smooth as silk, even if it was obvious that it had undergone some shape processing, Xinglan still recognized at once that this was the material of the silver net that the sea tree secreted with the silk sac, and this unique form of protein silk thread was not so easy to imitate.
"With the appearance of this fishing net, the whole thing has become more and more wonderful, and the fate between the sea tree and the sea giant has lasted for hundreds of millions of years." Xinglan had been firmly following behind these sea giants, watching them start to rush back with their prey, and the big fish that were still alive had a lot of trouble along the way, "Even then, they didn't kill them, so they deliberately wanted to catch them alive?" ”
……
In the calm water, there was a hint of movement.
The sea giants' original smiling and advancing steps suddenly froze in place, and one by one they quickly showed vigilant expressions and formed a circle, surrounding their prey in the center...... The big fish that were still messing around were also knocked out by a sea giant with a heavy fist.
The brightness of the light fungus on the Sea Giant's armor was invariably adjusted to the maximum, and the bright light even extended outward for more than ten meters, illuminating those rainbow-like colorful patterns.
Even though the colors that change as freely as the squid seem gorgeous, the ferocious eyes and sharp teeth suggest that this is definitely not a friendly creature, but a cruel and murderous predator.
Just in an instant, the original hunter became the prey.
Rainbow sharks, and a large group of rainbow sharks. If you think that their discolored skin is used to disguise themselves or lure mates, you are very wrong, for this group of killers, their only purpose of changing color is to send signals to each other...... Send the signal of group warfare!
This group of killers has an unusually keen sense of smell, and it is not difficult to see that they are attracted by the fresh prey captured by the sea giants, and the thick smell of blood can be clearly perceived by them even from dozens of kilometers away.
The size of the rainbow shark is not particularly large, in fact, the adult rainbow shark is only two or three meters long, and the sea giant is not afraid of any rainbow shark when fighting one-on-one, but the biggest problem is ...... There are just too many of them.
There are only five sea giants in the hunting team, and there are more than thirty rainbow sharks swimming back and forth around, and if they really fight, no one can defeat each other without paying the price, so the rainbow sharks only surrounded the sea giants and did not rashly attack.
Battles are bound to be accompanied by the loss of lives, and naturally, no one wants to be one of the deceased, and the two sides are in a tense standoff.
At the same time, both the sea giant and the rainbow shark know that the consequence of too long a confrontation is likely to be that both parties are unlucky, and the blood of the dead prey is slowly spreading in the seawater, and it is not only the rainbow shark that can sense the smell of blood.
Finally, a rainbow shark seemed to be unable to stand the stimulation of this blood anymore, and pounced, and bright red markings appeared on the surface of the skin above and below its body, which meant that its desire to attack had reached its peak!
Fight! The sea giant in its direction screamed, and also took a step out of the circle, and the fist wrapped in the cyan carapace slammed into the rainbow shark!
The battle was decided in an instant.
The rainbow shark bit the sea giant's arm, but was blocked by the hard carapace and couldn't bite down, but the sea giant's fist smashed into the rainbow shark's abdomen with incredible force, and actually knocked the rainbow shark out of the sea several meters away, Xinglan even felt that she heard a crisp sound of bones breaking!
A cursory glance shows that the comminuted fracture plus the rupture of internal organs and massive bleeding made the rainbow shark hopeless.
However, compared to the dying rainbow shark, Xinglan found something more interesting: although the sea giant's body muscles are very strong, the power of the punch just now is too exaggerated...... It's not as strong as a simple arm muscle.
It is true that even on land, it is not difficult to defeat the opponent with a single blow, which many animals can do, but the bones, which is the hardest part of an animal's body, can only be done if the opponent is comminuted and fractured in one blow...... Not to mention the fact that it is still in the sea water, which is extremely resistant, and the cushioning brought by the fluid will greatly weaken this injury.
Once again, replaying the detailed picture of the sea giant's attack just now in his mind a few times, Xinglan noticed something that he hadn't noticed before.
The part of the armor on the sea giant's arm did not seem to be a fixed whole, but was obviously deformed in motion. This quickly piqued Xinglan's interest, and she keenly felt as if she had discovered something magical.
Xinglan shifted his gaze to the battlefield, the rainbow shark that had just been hit hard was already dying in anger, and its instant defeat caused a commotion in the rainbow shark group, causing the other rainbow sharks to swim more cautiously nearby, not daring to approach.
At this time, the sea giant carrying the corpse of the devouring sand pu stepped forward, looked at the rainbow shark group fearlessly, reluctantly looked at the prey in his hand, and then violently waved his arm and threw the corpse of the devouring sand pu far away!
This seemed to be a signal of negotiation and reconciliation, and all the rainbow sharks instantly dispersed the encirclement, pounced on the corpse of the devouring sand and the dying rainbow shark, and no longer blocked the way of the sea giants leaving.
At this time, there is a tacit understanding between the two sides that there is no need to speak, and each takes a step back to ensure safety, and this matter is over, which is good for everyone.
"Ah, that's true!" When the sea giant waved his arm to throw out the corpse of the devouring sand pu, the signal pro had been infiltrating the nearby space to observe the changes in his body and the outer carapace, and Xinglan finally confirmed one thing, "These outer carapaces are not just a layer of carapace, it also has a large number of neural circuits and living tissues distributed in it, and like the exoskeleton of insects, this carapace can be used for ...... Hydraulic way to move! ”
Hydraulic power bursts are much more powerful than muscle stretching alone...... Xinglan was secretly a little frightened, where is this still some ordinary armor, it is simply a mobile exoskeleton armor, or it has its own lighting function!
Even most medium-sized dinosaurs may not be able to withstand the power of these sea giants' fists, and the sturdy carapace makes their fists well protected and not easily damaged.
But of course, even if the individual combat strength is superior, it will have to temporarily give in when the opponent's number completely occupies the top.
After seeing those cruel rainbow sharks disperse the encirclement, the sea giants were relieved, they were not like rainbow sharks to treat their companions extremely cold-blooded, every sea giant is an important companion who lives together, it is best to be able to sacrifice nature, compared to the loss of a prey is nothing.
It seems like it's all over, but hasn't the confrontation really attracted other contenders these times?
As the sea giants let their guard down and began to retract their prey from the ground, one of the sea giants was keenly aware of a strange notch in the carcass of a large fish, which was constantly expanding.
His face changed, and without hesitation, he swung his thick fist and slammed it down, and the huge force of the hydraulic drive directly blasted a pit in the sand, but it did not attack anything......
Suddenly, a brilliant ribbon of colored light flashed through the dark waters, and it was not the colorful markings of the rainbow shark, but a light that was really brighter than the light fungus!
The sea giant let out a sharp call, and everyone quickly picked up their prey, and no longer hiding their whereabouts, they began to run wildly in the direction of home with all their might.
Tear and pull!
A bright electric light burst through the water, and something invisible followed them closely, moving with incredible agility.
Aurora Fish ...... Shadowless and invisible, extremely fast. No matter how powerful you are, what's the point if you can't attack at all?
