Since ancient times, there have been legends of sea monsters, the most famous of which is the North Sea Monster.

The North Sea Monster is a giant sea monster in Norse mythology (it is recorded to be 150 meters long) that usually lies on the bottom of the sea, but occasionally rises to the surface.

Since the 19th century, with the development of modern zoology, the legend of the sea monster that is too absurd has gradually disappeared. But there are also some reports that have caught the attention of the biological community.

In 1946, there was a report that the 150-meter-long and 15,000-ton tanker Brunswick was attacked by a king squid between the islands of Hawaii and Samoa.

In 1965, a whaler claimed to have witnessed a king squid and a 40-ton sperm whale fighting in the sea.

The Belgian zoologist Hevelmans collected and analyzed a total of 587 reports of sea monster discoveries in the three hundred years from 1639~1966, excluding those that may have been misunderstood, deliberately deceived and unclear, and 358 were believed to be credible. He fed all the details of these reports into a computer and came up with nine different sea monsters. While there are still exaggerations in these reports, at least one of them, which was previously thought to be "impossible to exist" as a giant monster in the sea, has been confirmed: the king squid.

King squid lives in the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, with a body length of about 20 meters and a weight of about 2~3 tons, making it the largest invertebrate in the world.

How big is the largest king squid? It's a difficult question to answer.

A king squid with a length of 17.07 meters has been measured with a sucker diameter of 9.5 centimeters on its tentacles. However, from the captured sperm whales, sucker scars with a diameter of more than 40 centimeters have been found. It is speculated that the king squid that fought with this whale may have been up to 80 meters long. If there really is such a big king squid, it is not far from the legendary Norwegian sea monster.

In recent years, LeBron, a well-known expert, has gathered more new information about sea monsters. He said that after reading the evidence of eyewitnesses, especially the 1993 report of the Atlantic giant squid eating people, he became more and more convinced that there must be several "animal inhabitants" in the Pacific Ocean that he studied.

LeBron believes that only the use of advanced satellite remote sensing technology or low-altitude platform observation systems, that is, a specially made fixed-point stationary satellite in the sky above the sea monster, and the use of advanced high-resolution infrared or microwave sensors will detect the truth, but this will require the funding of a large consortium.

"Even though I didn't see it with my own eyes, I believed what the witnesses said, because many of them were scientists," LeBron said. "But when will the Pacific Sea Monster be revealed? Scholars believe that the truth of the mystery of the Pacific sea monster can only be revealed if people actually catch a sea monster.

……

In the bottomless blue ocean, a dark shadow suddenly appeared.

The shadow was so huge that even a helicopter in the air could see it clearly.

The black shadow kept surging upward, black staining the surrounding water, this black seemed so large in the dark blue water, like a small island about to float up, it was terrifying.

The helicopter stopped above the sea, shaking, and everyone, including the pilot, was stupefied.

Almost at the same time, the people standing on the board of the boat blowing the wind also noticed it, and they all let out a cry of surprise.

"Oh my God, what is this?"

"Oh my God, it's a monster."

The people standing on the board of the ship did not see the whole picture of this black shadow, but did not have such a sense of fear, and many people were not surprised, but took out their mobile phones to take pictures of this huge black shadow.

This situation is rare in a century.

Anyone who thought that he could photograph the appearance of the sea monster in person was inexplicably excited.

Chen Yuan, who was in the infirmary, also heard the shouts coming from outside, and there was horror and joy in the voice, two opposing feelings.

Chen Yuan immediately looked at the shell, the shell's mind moved, and after a moment he shouted, "Master." ”

The excitement is palpable.

Chen Yuan sat down, fixed his mind, his mind linked, and looked at the bottom of the sea.

After a while, a huge tentacle as wide as one meter appeared in his sight, and then the second and third tentacles appeared one after another, all of which were extremely thick and bottomless, slowly stretching towards the coral reef cave.

However, the reef caves are designed to be so deep with shells that these tentacles alone cannot reach them.

It seems that he smelled the smell of the attractant liquid at close range, and this strange one couldn't stand it even more, and as soon as his tentacles stretched out, he rushed straight down, and his whole figure was violent. Exposed in front of Chen Yuan.

He gasped.

I'm afraid this king squid is more than 80 meters long!

Ten large tentacles stretched out, covering an area almost the size of a football field.

However, Chen Yuan made the coral reef cave made of shells deeper and wider, and there was an unusually hard protective shell made of evolved cement on the surface of the innermost attractant, and if you wanted to break this protective shell, you had to enter it all in to do so.

Faced with the lure of the attractant, the huge king squid did not hesitate, quickly retracted into the coral reef cave, and used its huge tentacles to forcefully absorb the hard protective shell, trying to break it, and then eat the lure inside.

"Shell, prepare." Chen Yuan shouted in a deep voice.

Shell nodded solemnly.

Such a big squid was beyond their imagination before, so at this time, there was still a part of the squid's body outside the cave, and it was not easy to cover it directly.

However, the protective shell of the lure designed at the bottom of the cave was too stiff, and the large squid tried several times to break it, and it had to let down its guard and retract its entire body.

The shell immediately moved, and the lid on the outside of the coral reef instantly became larger, covering the entire cave entrance at once.

The big squid inside turned around sharply and wanted to rush out, but how could the lid made of all evolved cement zuò let it break through.

At the moment when the lid became larger to cover the cave, the giant beast space icon on the text panel of the castle in Chen Yuan's mind began to flash, Chen Yuan knew that this was a hint that the giant beast space was activated, and he immediately thought about it, and suddenly the huge king squid trapped in the coral reef cave all disappeared out of thin air and entered the space.

Successfully captured!

"Congratulations, you have captured the giant squid under the sea, complete the first giant beast objective, you will be rewarded with 60 evolution points, and the castle points will be rewarded when the giant squid is exhibited." A pleasant prompt sounds.

It's only 60 points?

Last time, the castle suggested that if you complete the objective, there will be a reward ranging from 1 to 100 points, but the reward for catching this giant squid is only 60 points, could it be that there is a bigger big squid at the bottom of the sea?

Chen Yuan didn't believe it and could only believe it, he looked at the giant beast space, just like the speartail fish last time, the king squid automatically recognized the owner soon after entering the space.
