The poisonous fish is not popular with other organisms in the seabed ecology. Most carnivorous fish do not actively approach them, and humans avoid catching them without tools. When moving on the ocean floor, other organisms are also careful not to accidentally touch these toxicity experts hiding on the ocean floor.

However, the scorpion is a delicious presence in the eyes of some creatures who are not afraid of poison. For example, in the view of the beauty snake, this fish that is not beautiful in appearance is more delicious than those that are colorful and beautiful. Although scorpion scorpion is difficult to find, as they spend most of their time camouflaged as stones on the ocean floor, motionless and difficult to spot.

Today, however, the snake happened to witness a scene in which a poisonous scorpion preyed on a reef fish that mistook its dorsal fin for seaweed. This exposes the scorpion to the sight of the beauty snake.

However, for Zhao Muhan, this is not a lucky thing. The stinger has a stinger on its dorsal fin, and once it is stabbed, it will feel severe pain until it dies.

However, the beauty snake had already decided to enjoy this delicious meal and would not give Zhao Muhan a chance to change his prey. The venomous scorpion was no threat to the mermaid snake, so it could not comprehend the threat posed by the fish-man in front of it.

Even the beauty snake will deliberately choose a fish with poor swimming skills and no ability to escape as its prey, which is completely to take into account Zhao Muhan's condition. It thinks that the fish-man is not very strong and does not swim very well, so it is more appropriate to choose to catch this type of fish.

Therefore, when he saw that Zhao Muhan had not moved for a long time, the beauty snake stretched out his hand and pushed him, "Didn't you see that fish?" ”

Zhao Muhan replied, "I see." ”

The serpent then said, "Then why don't you catch it?" Didn't you say you're hungry? ”

Zhao Muhan looked at the beauty snake. When the beauty snake speaks, white teeth can be seen between the opening and closing of its mouth, and these teeth are neatly arranged. Although the canine teeth of the upper jaw are slightly different from those of humans, a closer look reveals that the two canine teeth of the upper jaw are folded inward, unlike the fangs of most venomous snakes. Although these two canine teeth were not as transparent as the fangs of other venomous snakes, Zhao Muhan was able to determine that they had venom and could be highly venomous.

In general, organisms that possess venom are immune to certain toxins. Judging from the expression of the beauty snake, it is immune to the poison of the scorpionfish, which is why it looks so confident.

It is also possible that the other party does not care about his life at all, after all, to some extent, he is just the target of others.

After stabilizing his mind, Zhao Muhan decided to catch the ugly poisonous fish. Despite the dangers, as the mermaid snake says, this fish is a slow swim and is not much of a threat as long as it dodges its stinger attacks.

He pulled out his only self-defense tool, a harpoon, from his waist and took a closer look around the ocean floor. Although he found no other signs of danger, he did not dare to touch the bottom of the sea, because who knows if there were other, more dangerous disguisers hiding beneath the mud and sand.

Floating above the poisonous fish, Zhao Muhan felt the direction of the current. After confirming that he was standing beneath the venom, he gripped the harpoon, carefully identified the location of the poison cat, and stabbed the ugly creature with precision. The sharp harpoon pierced the body of the poisonous fish at once, and pierced directly through the part of the brain that connects to the body, nailing the poisonous fish to the bottom of the sea.

The sudden attack caused the stinger of the poison to release a highly poisonous liquid, and the transparent droplets splashed in all directions in the seawater, clearly showing the trajectory of movement. Zhao Muhan quickly retreated along the water, although this venom would not cause poisoning through contact, but considering the wounds on his body, he could still be hit if he was not careful.

After retreating a few meters, Zhao Muhan watched as the venom was washed away by the seawater and did not spread towards him. However, a few fish in the vicinity were unfortunate enough to be tricked, and they began to roll with their bellies facing up. Instead of immediately going to check on his prey, he waited where he was for a moment, making sure the fish had ceased to move, then cautiously approached and pulled out his harpoon. The tip of the harpoon was stained with a trace of blood, washing the dead poison fish out of the ocean floor, and a faint trail of blood spread through the water.

After catching the food, Zhao Muhan brought the poisonous fish back to the beautiful snake that had been watching him hunt not far away. He handed the harpoon over the poison fish, "Come, enjoy." ”

Even though his stomach was already aching from hunger, he subconsciously gave food priority to the beauty snake. This is not only because the poisonous fish was caught at the request of the mermaid, but also because the structure of the mermaid's body and tail reminds him of the mermaid. Therefore, even though he understands that the other party is not a woman and is stronger than him, he still makes this choice.

Maybe this has something to do with the beauty snake asking him to touch his tail, subconsciously, Zhao Muhan's emotions already have a subtle tendency.

Despite the speed of mermaids in the water, they cannot survive on land due to the structure of their tails. Moreover, they are less powerful than fishmen, and they can barely cope with catching some small fish, and slightly larger fish can use mermaids as prey. It can be said that the mermaid here is only a superficial existence, and does not have the mermaid ability that the mermaid is known for.

Although relatively fragile and biologically unable to work on land, merfolk are far less numerous than fishmen and have the ability to reproduce. This makes them the objects of care of the fish people, and their status among the new humans is not low. Fish-people have long been accustomed to pleasing merfolk in every way, prioritizing their wishes and not starving them even if they need to go hungry themselves.

However, Zhao Muhan's knee-jerk flattery obviously failed to impress the beauty snake. Although it is a delicacy, the mermaid snake is particularly fond of this fish because it is not easy to detect. At first, Zhao Muhan sent poisonous fish as a way to please the beauty snake, but there was one point that caused his curry favor to be unsuccessful.

"I don't want it." The beauty snake frowned and pushed the fish back.

The beauty snake eats a small amount of food, and even only a small piece of meat is needed for a meal. With no choice, he doesn't care about the type of prey, as long as it's easy to eat, he will eat it. From this point of view, the beauty snake is indeed easy to satisfy.

The only problem, however, is that the beauty snake only eats live creatures. Only meat cut from a living prey is fit for him to eat. At this point, the ferocious nature of the beauty snake is evident.

Zhao Muhan didn't expect his proposal to be rejected, and he felt extremely sad looking at the beauty snake's obvious disgusted expression. This feeling was even more uncomfortable than Liu Na's frightened expression when she was injured. Although he did not analyze the meaning of this emotion for the time being, and did not even perceive such nuances.

He still put on an indifferent expression, hiding the fluctuations in his heart. However, his tone became more subdued, revealing emotional fluctuations: "Don't you want to eat this?" “

The beauty snake is keenly aware of this emotional fluctuation. You must know that the communication between them largely relies on the transmission of consciousness, so the beauty snake can easily capture the negative inner emotions under Zhao Muhan's calm appearance. The mermaid snake may not be able to comprehend the meaning of these emotions or even understand why the new prey reacts in this strange way, but he feels that this emotional fluctuation makes him uncomfortable. While most Krakens may enjoy this negativity, the Mermaid Snake is not one of them.

"Dead, don't." The beauty snake succinctly expressed her attitude, "I only eat alive." “

Then, he noticed that his answer seemed to make the fish-man happy, but why? Is there anything in his words that deserves the other person's pleasure? The beauty snake could not understand.

Zhao Muhan didn't know why he was happy, but he did feel a little lighter. He felt that the other party was not disgusted with the food he sent, but just did not eat dead things.

It's great not to be disliked anymore.

"So what do you want to eat? Can I catch it for you? Although he still maintained that expressionless face, his tone became gentle and pleasant, with a hint of unconsciously flattering.

This flattery apparently pleased the beauty snake, and he generously said, "You eat first, I can wait for a while." "Actually, he's not really hungry, and it's okay to wait a little bit.

Hearing such an answer, Zhao Muhan was of course happy. He removed the poison from the harpoon, and with the help of the harpoon, peeled off the skin of the fish and enjoyed the tender flesh of the fish. Although the taste of raw food is not as good as that of cooking, the fish-people are accustomed to living on the bottom of the sea and are not averse to raw food, just like eating sashimi

Shape.

Soon, he finished eating a whole poison fish, and although it didn't fill his stomach, his stomach felt much more comfortable with food as a backing. He then picks up the harpoon again and looks for the next prey for the serpent and himself.

Fortunately, this time the beauty snake did not ask him to catch the difficult prey, and in the end, Zhao Muhan successfully met the request of the beauty snake and caught delicious fish for him.
