Chapter Eighty-Five: A Powerful Ambush Hunter
Life is a miracle of the universe, and since the day it was born, it has been destined for diversity. The energy of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info organisms is mainly converted by solar energy, but only a small number of green life has a first-class method of converting solar energy, therefore, organisms must carry out mutual energy intake behavior, which is the so-called feeding mode.
It seems that in the dark, the creator of all things has decided that the way of evolution of living things is to survive the fittest, and in order to survive the cruel laws of natural selection, living beings have also evolved a variety of ingenious hunting skills.
In the vast oceans, they hunt in an extremely rich way due to the great diversity of biological species.
There is a way to hunt as a group like a swordfish man, there is a way to take the initiative like a shark, there is also a way to catch monkfish bait, and naturally there is a hunting method called waiting for rabbits.
Seeing the large group of fishmen being blocked by a small animal, the giant monkfish-man couldn't help but be anxious, and she roared as hard as she could, urging the fishmen to break through that damn magic shield as soon as possible. However, Xue Yu's magic was so weird that even if the fish people released all of their killing energy, they would not be able to catch a flaw in this magic. They could only swing their weapons helplessly, attacking the magic shield without any aim, and as a result, they were naturally teleported to a few hundred meters behind them again and again.
As time went on, the monkman became more and more irritable, and it tried to bypass this magical barrier, but unfortunately, the magic of magic was not something these warriors could imagine, no matter how they went, they would be affected by the magic, and unknowingly teleported to the far rear, so to speak, they had been trapped by this magic.
The monkfish man looked at the harmless creature that was casting a spell, it didn't expect that the creature would be so difficult, and a sense of powerlessness suddenly surged in its heart, it was not worried that it would not be able to catch the fleeing human, but that it was afraid of the ambush ahead.
That's right, the fish-man is not very shrewd, but this time he has set up a rare ambush for his prey. Not because of their brains, but because of the natural personality of the ambushers, they have no interest in hunting down their prey, and because of their lazy personality, the monkfish people have to send them to defend elsewhere.
When he saw the humans moving in the direction of the snow-capped mountain, the monkfishman suddenly remembered that she had arranged a master who was good at ambush hunting in this direction, thinking of its hunting methods, the monkfishman couldn't help but be more anxious, he was very afraid that the other party would accidentally kill Jacqueline, in case this happens, it is estimated that the power behind Lin Yan will be very annoyed, think about the strength of those people, if they want to deal with the fish-man clan because of this...... The monkfish people shuddered.
However, Jacqueline and his gang were not worried about such danger at this time, and they were doing their best to hurry, keeping an eye out for the big rocks along the way, because they had to make sure which stone was what the mermaid king called "the stone on the right".
Suddenly, the magic talisman on Fipley's body sensed, emitting a white light that struck in midair, as if it had hit something, but it didn't give it the desired damage.
This magic was cast by Fippley when she was chasing by the fishmen just now, because she didn't have a magic weapon, she used it for a long time, but fortunately the fishmen also left her enough time. However, due to the lack of magic weapons, the power of this magic talisman is very limited.
Because danger had always loomed over them, Fippley did not undo this protective magic, and kept it until now, although it would quickly drain her mana, but this time it unexpectedly saved everyone's lives.
"Danger, be careful," Phipley suddenly understood what was happening, and hurriedly shouted to the other members.
Hearing Phipley's reminder, Jesse Fer and Jacqueline couldn't help but be on the alert, and they both tried their best to prepare for their defenses.
"Who! get me out!" Fippley was guided by magic, and she quickly spotted the pretender hiding here.
I saw a half-large stone that seemed to move, and a strange-shaped person appeared from below. Its eyes protruded, and it had a fleshy tentacle like a "Y'" on its mouth, and it didn't seem to have much fighting power, because it was still lying on the ground limp at this time, and it had no fighting spirit.
"Eh, wouldn't it be nice to be stabbed directly? Such a rebellion will only make death more painful. Like the man's mental outlook, his words were soft and unstrained.
There was only one person, and he didn't look very powerful, which made Jacqueline and his party relax a little bit.
The girls didn't notice the man's carapace, and if they did, and had some common sense of marine animals, they wouldn't be relieved of it.
The shell was spindle-shaped, small in front and wide in the back, with a beautiful red color, like a chicken heart, and a rough look like a stone, but once the mermaid and merfolk saw such a sign, they would definitely shy away from it, and try not to provoke it as much as possible.
It does not belong to the Fish-People, but its people, like the Fish-People, have been ruled and oppressed by the Merfolk for a long time, so they have joined the ranks of the rebels in this rebellion.
Chicken snails, also known as taro snails, belong to mollusks, gastropods, and snails. It is a beautiful snail that lives on coral reefs and beaches along the warm sea.
When hunting, the snail will bury its body in the sand, exposing only its long nose to the outside. This not only allows you to get oxygen, but also monitors the movement of your prey. Its tip hides a tiny opening from which a poisonous needle, scientifically known as a "harpoon", can be used to kill an injured person.
The chicken heart snail has a flexible "hypodermic syringe" attached to a sac containing toxins in the body, which can quickly inject the toxin into the prey within seconds. Fish rely on their biological nervous system to control their bodies before being attacked by chicken snails. After the chicken snail pierced the needle into the fish's body, it only took less than a second to stop the fish from struggling, and then the toxin launched the first round of attacks, quickly entering the chemical valve that controls the fish's nerve signals, so that the valve is in an open state for a long time, and the toxin continues to invade the fish's body. As a result of the action of the snail toxin, the muscles of the fish began to spasm, and just before the fish managed to regain control of its movements, another attack of the snail began, the toxin attacked the junction between the nerves and muscles of the fish, preventing the muscles from receiving instructions, and when the spasms became weaker and weaker, the fish was completely paralyzed.
One chicken snail is toxic enough to kill ten healthy adult humans. Its toxins are usually directed at small fish, which makes humans equally susceptible to snails due to the similar nervous systems of humans and fish. Experiments on Earth have shown that the victims of chicken snails do not suffer much before they die. Scientists have found more than 100 compounds in the toxin of chicken snails, including one that blocks the nervous system from transmitting information, which makes the organism feel nothing when it dies because the nervous system is unable to transmit information. Due to its toxins, the human body does not feel pain after being injected into the body (because it paralyzes the nerves). There is a kind of chicken heart snail that people usually call "cigar snail", which means that after being stung by it, there is generally only time left to smoke a cigar to rescue, which shows its fierce toxicity.
This slow-moving creature is very precise and fast when it attacks its prey with a poisonous needle, because it is so fast that the human eye cannot catch it, and only by slowing down the camera lens can humans see the horror of this slow-looking conch.
It can be said that the chicken snail is one of the best ambush predators selected by the marine life community after hundreds of years of competitive evolution. And this chicken heart snail man is also a master at the level of a big warrior, a first-class warrior in the conch clan. Even more dangerous, it is not aware of the order not to harm human fugitives.
I don't know if it's a good thing, Jacqueline and her gang still don't understand how terrible the opponent they are facing. (To be continued.)
