Chapter 894: The "Vampire" in the Sea
When those bulges got closer and closer, the father and son also saw their true face of Lushan, and there was no doubt that they were really a group of basking sharks.
Father Ye's heart, which had not been put down for a long time, was instantly suspended again.
"Why are so many coming at us all of a sudden?"
"The same kind are here, not to be gathered? I went to the stern of the boat to collect the net, and immediately pulled it up, and when it was up, we hurried back. ”
Father Ye nodded and followed him to the stern of the boat to collect the net.
It can only be like this, but these basking sharks I saw before can't do anything to them, just quietly follow.
Father Ye is also inclined to what Dongzi said, although these basking sharks are big and their mouths are still so big, they still have a docile temperament, otherwise, they would have attacked the fishing boat a long time ago.
There are so many more at this time, it shouldn't be tight, right?
Thinking so, his heart also went back a little.
However, the minds of father and son were still highly focused on the group of basking sharks that were drifting towards them.
Although both of them convinced themselves that these basking sharks were friendly and docile, when they were really close to the rendezvous, their hearts were really shocked.
Each one is six or seven meters long, and as far as the eye can see, there are twenty or thirty bulges, their backs are close to the water, and the upper lobes of the snout, dorsal fin and caudal fin are exposed to the water, swimming slowly, and twenty or thirty mouths are open there, opening their mouths to filter feed.
Father Ye couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked again, "Dongzi, are you sure they don't eat people?" ”
"No... Yes... It's just a little scary to look at, do you know why they are called basking sharks, just because they are as gentle as middle-aged women......"
"Are middle-aged women gentle?" Father Ye sent out a spiritual torture.
Ye Yaodong was stunned for a moment, "Except for my mother." ”
The middle-aged women in the village seem to have to rule out, saying that it may be better to say that they are old.
Is now the time to ask this question, though?
"Dad, it might be better for you to bring in an older one like grandma and grandma."
Father Ye gave him a blank look, "Hurry up and put away the fishing nets, let's go back, when we get close to the coast, it is estimated that they will not follow." There are so many mouths open there, it's scary to look at, your eldest cousin and their boat is also nearby, why don't you follow them? ”
Although those basking sharks looked a little scary, they hadn't attacked them for so long, and they were still being interrupted by Ye Yaodong's jokes at this time, and he was not as nervous as before.
"Who knew that it might have been the first to happen."
Ye Yaodong will be a little nervous again, and he wants to get the camera and take pictures of the current scene.
However, the fishing net has not yet been confiscated, so he has to wait, otherwise his father will jump to his feet in anger.
The father and son kept staring at the sea back and forth, and when the fishing nets were just out of the water and dragged up the tail chute by the machine, they were more nimble than ever to collect the nets, and their strength was extraordinarily great.
However, when the fishing net was just pulled up to the deck, Ye Yaodong found that there were several different fish in the fishing net, and they were still writhing.
He hurriedly said to his father: "Dad, you hurry up and get a bucket of water and fetch a bucket of seawater." ”
Then quickly untie the net.
"What?"
"There are a few Indian fish, and a few eight-eyed eels, all of them are still alive and moving, you hurry up and fetch two buckets of water, raise them first, two buckets, remember."
Father Ye didn't know all fish, and he knew what he said about the Indian fish, but he didn't know what the eight-eyed eel he was talking about.
However, looking at his serious expression, based on the trust in him during this time, he also hurriedly turned his head to fetch water first, and asked what the eight-eyed eel was later.
Ye Yaodong first picked out the Indian fish that was writhing its body, and then pulled out the sea eight-eyed eel that was adsorbing the small fish.
There are 5 Indian fish and 3 sea eels, and there are so many of them in a casual drag, indicating that there should be a lot of them underwater.
Both of these fish are definitely attracted by basking sharks, otherwise they wouldn't be here.
Not to mention, it is used to hitchhiking in the sea, and it has an oval sucker on its back, which is often attached to the belly of sharks, turtles and even ships for long trips.
The few fish that he trawled up must have been thrown off his body by these basking sharks, and then accidentally caught by him.
As for the sea eight-eyed eel......
Ye Yaodong looked at the small pile of two different fish stacked on top of each other, but he was not in a hurry to separate them, but put them in the bucket that Father Ye had just taken.
"Why don't you take out the trash fish and separate them?"
"Put a piece and test it out."
Father Ye was a little puzzled, "What are you experimenting with?" ”
"I'll talk about it later, while these Indian fish are still alive, put them in a bucket and raise them first."
Fortunately, both of these fish are elongated and cannot be easily crushed to death, and they are still alive after being dragged up.
After pulling out the two kinds of fish separately and putting them in the bucket, Ye Yaodong didn't care about the other groceries in the fishing net, and straightened up.
Father Ye looked at him with an unfathomable look on his face, and muttered a little in his heart, "I don't know anything, mysterious and mysterious?" Ate the, right? ”
"Don't look at it, hurry up and sail back, and throw these basking sharks first, this row of dozens of mouths are open there, and the scalp is numb when you look at it, like holes in coffins."
Ye Yaodong: "......"
His father's description is really apt!
The black openings were wide open, and they were in orderly rows, weren't they the same as the coffins left by the graves on the mountain?
He took out the watch in his pocket and looked at the time, it was only two o'clock, and it was estimated that it would only be half past three when he went home at this time, which was a bit early, but today they had earned enough, and the few hundred pounds of sea wolf fish alone were enough for them to trawl for a few days.
"Then you go sail and I'll sort these out."
With that, he squatted down again, crouching down in front of the bucket of eight-eyed eels.
He reached into the bucket and grabbed an eight-eyed eel, its mouth still attached to a water valley fish, but this water valley fish was a little different from the appearance of the fish that had just been placed in the bucket.
When I first put it in, the fish's body was still very full, and it had dried up and shrunk after a while, and it was obvious that the essence on its body had been sucked away.
Father Ye was also going to sail the boat, but the corner of his eye suddenly caught it, and he felt a little curious, so he stopped.
"Huh? Why did it suddenly become deflated? ”
"Sucked dry by this sea eel."
The sea eight-eyed eel is not because it has eight eyes, but because it has seven outer gill holes on each side of the body behind the eyes, in addition to having one nostril and a pair of eyes on the head.
These seven outer gill holes look particularly like eyes, so they are called sea eels.
At first glance, the sea eight-eyed eel looks very similar to the eel, but they are not the same kind.
The sea eight-eyed eel is known as the terrifying vampire of the deep sea, their appearance is ordinary and ordinary, but when they open their mouths full of sharp teeth, they will immediately make people frightened.
When the mouth opens, it looks like a bottomless tunnel, filled with sharp teeth.
Its mouth is like a "vacuum suction cup", easily parasitic on other animals, and its powerful suction power can even hang more than 300 times more weight than itself.
This is a bit similar to the Indian fish, but it is much more terrifying than the Indian fish.
Indian fish just like to attach to these big fish and take a free ride, and this eight-eyed eel is attached to the big fish, but it can kill them.
Using its sharp teeth and tongue, the sea eel bites off the scales of the big fish, pierces the white and tender fresh flesh of the big fish, scrapes the blood vessels, and then sucks blood.
In order to suck blood for as long as possible, the sea octomulan uses the most cunning method in the entire animal kingdom: injecting its prey with anticoagulant mucus.
It has a gland in its throat that allows the mouth disc to secrete anticoagulants that prevent blood from clotting.
In other words, the prey's wound will continue to bleed, and the sea eel will have more time to find other blood vessels and suck blood.
These basking sharks are huge, thick-skinned, and the sea eagles may not be able to bite through their bodies, but they still enjoy chasing these big fish because if they are caught in a loophole, they can have a hearty meal.
For example, killer whales and tiger sharks hunt basking sharks.
When the basking shark was intact, the sea eight-eyed eel did not hesitate even if it stared at them, but there was a basking shark here that had just fought with a group of sea wolf fish in the past, and there were still traces of a sea wolf bite on its body.
Isn't that a good way to give them a chance to take advantage of it?
He had just caught the sea eel in his fishing nets, and he recognized the seven outer gill holes on its body at a glance from the gap, which was very easy to identify.
They also each suck on a small fish, just to see if they can really directly suck the flesh and blood, and if the rumors of sea vampires are true.
Ye Yaodong told his father about these little by little, but Father Ye was stunned when he heard it, feeling that he was telling a story about the Book of Heaven.
"Can such a small eel-like fish suck up tons of basking sharks? Are you kidding? ”
He didn't believe a word, isn't this the same as an ant shaking an elephant?
"I still don't believe it to you! It's not just like this to suck, there are so many on the Internet, there must be a lot of them in the sea, after all, there are so many basking sharks here, they are so big, a few hanging on each one is enough for the injured one to drink a pot. ”
"Besides, didn't I tell you? Their saliva prevents their wounds from healing, and when sucked up, the wounds will only bleed forever before being sucked dry and dying. ”
"Even if this basking shark has several tons, it can't stand the constant bleeding, and there are so many 'vampires' on its body, the gods can't bear it, and it is a matter of time before it is sucked dry."
Ye Yaodong said as he slammed the drained water valley fish from under the mouth of the sea eight-eyed eel, revealing its unclosed mouth to show his father.
This open round mouth really looks like a bottomless tunnel, full of sharp teeth, which is indeed very different from the usual eel.
"So what do you do? Are you going to wait for it to be sucked dry and picked up cheaply? ”
Although Father Ye still didn't believe it, such a small fish could suck the body of several tons of basking sharks dry, but seeing that what Dongzi said seemed to be the same as the truth, he could only be true at that time.
"I'm stupid, I just want to see if the legend of this sea eight-eyed eel is true, and I don't know how long it will take for them to suck such a big basking shark dry."
It's a shame that such a big basking shark is sucked dry, but he can't stop it, and he really likes to pick up leaks.
If he is destined to be sucked dry, it is better to pick him up, but it is not the same when he will be bitten to death.
He can't just wait here all the time to see when people will die, with such a general physique, he can't drag it back if he dies.
And at this time, looking at the injured basking shark still lined up behind the fishing boat and opening its mouth, it didn't look abnormal at all.
If he hadn't recognized these sea eight-eyed eels, he probably wouldn't have thought of the end of this basking shark.
This basking shark was so slow to react that Ye Yaodong gave it a wax in his heart.
If it is also possible to escape, it is not certain to die, after all, such a large tonnage is placed there.
"Then you said it earlier, seeing that you talked so much, I thought you were going to wait here and watch it be bitten to death, and then drag it back."
"How do you drag it, that one is several tons, you go down and push it ass?"
"Nonsense."
After Father Ye glared at him, he hurriedly went to start the boat.
Ye Yaodong threw the sea eight-eyed eel in his hand back into the bucket, only to see that it was lying on the other side of the other fish in an instant, and the two sea eight-eyed eels sucked a fish, and the two sides struck, and the fish that was already dead became even drier and shrier.
He looked up at the sea again, and looked at the dozens of basking sharks behind him with a look of pity, if he could really drag one over, the village would be boiling, such a big fish is too rare.
As the fishing boat accelerated and walked back, the basking sharks behind him continued to follow, and Ye Yaodong also picked up the last catch just now.
There was a big sea wolf still struggling and swimming there, so he would hit him on the head with a stick first, so as not to be half dead, and then he could bite him back.
There are more groceries caught in this net, a bunch of miscellaneous fish, shrimp and crabs, there are not a few wolf fish, one is relatively large, about 20 catties, and the other two are about seven or eight catties.
It's really long, if you put it in the future, the angler can hang it in the back of the car and drive it all the way home.
From time to time, he looked up at the stern of the boat as he packed up the fish, and the basking sharks didn't know what to do, so they decided that they were in the boat and followed it all the way.
At this moment, the boat that the eldest cousin was working on happened to pass by them, and he saw that their eyes were wide and their mouths were open and closed.
When the two boats met, they were heard shouting his name, and then their fishing boat quickly turned away.
It wasn't until they were far away that they turned around and followed, and he estimated that they were already speeding up the closing of the net.
This is a long distance, the diesel engine on the ship roars again, and he can't hear what is being said clearly when he shouts through his throat, so he can only watch silently.
They were probably stunned just now.
Anyone who sees a fish boat followed by twenty or thirty fish of several tons will probably be scared to pee.
Maybe they had just noticed the anomaly behind his fishing boat from a distance, so they would meet at this time to take a look at what was going on.
Actually, he's fine......
I also took several photos......
