Chapter 360: Mussel Shell
This is a deserted beach, due to the "rainbow hell", it has no access to any inland area, it is a dead end, and there are no valuable resources, so naturally no fleet wants to come here.
On the contrary, the Jedi blocked most of the creatures from reaching here, and the magnetic field here also seemed to be affected by the Jedi, resulting in frequent stranding of sea creatures in the area, eventually dying on the beach.
For this reason, over time, there are a lot of corpses left here, and there are skeletons as far as the eye can see, which makes people panic when they look at it, which is also the origin of the name of the place here.
But in the eyes of Chen Mu and the monkeys, this is a rare place of tranquility, there is no danger, and there is no strife.
After a short rest of two days here, it was also to prepare for going to sea, and the crimson mecha was originally a very important part of the plan.
But now, the crimson mecha has fallen in the Jedi, and without this powerful armed mecha, the plan to go to sea naturally needs to be adjusted in all directions.
Fortunately, Chen Mu and the monkey had already discussed a number of plans, and at this time, according to local conditions, they chose one of the backup plans - enslave a sea creature as a temporary navigation tool, and go to sea first.
Of course, considering the endurance, such marine creatures must be relatively large, and small fish and shrimp must not be considered, but too big ones are not good.
The first is that the target is too large and can easily attract the attention of a potential enemy, increasing the danger during navigation.
The second is the large sea creatures, which are basically not so easy to deal with, and in today's wasteland environment, there are no large sea creatures like whales that purely rely on their size to ensure their safety.
It is often an existence like an orangutan or a sea monster, and the larger the volume, the stronger the opponent's ability to obtain survival resources in the wasteland, which is naturally equivalent to the stronger the combat effectiveness, otherwise let alone obtaining enough survival resources, its own survival will be a problem, and it will have been eaten by other predators a long time ago.
"OK, you're almost ready, just choose this big guy, boss, can you hold it?"
The monkey looked at a large sea creature stranded on the shore yesterday and asked Chen Mu.
Luckily, although according to the situation of the "Skull Coast", there are sea creatures stranded every once in a while, but it is not so easy to find a mount that meets the requirements.
Most of these "door-to-door" stranded sea creatures are small mutated sea beasts, and the reason why they are stranded is not because of their size, but because they are crazy, and they take the initiative to leap towards the shore, as if committing suicide.
There are only a small number of large marine organisms stranded, and overall, the frequency is not very high.
When Chen Mu and the others arrived at the shoreline, there were a total of three large sea creatures stranded on the shore, one of which was really a super-large terrifying monster, which looked like a small mountain, a bit like a sea urchin, but it was too big.
This thing has been stranded for a while, and I don't know if it's because my brain has been over-radiated, it's a little crazy anyway, and I can easily go back to the sea, but I've been stranded on the shore and tossing.
When Chen Mu and the others arrived, this thing was already in a half-dead state, but it was still frantically attacking everything that dared to approach.
It has a lot of black tentacles, which look like spikes, but in fact they are very flexible, and can also spray a highly toxic liquid like ink, which is so corrosive that all living creatures in the vicinity cannot escape the poisonous hands.
Fortunately, this thing has been staying where it is, as long as it is far away, there is no danger.
But such a thing is definitely not suitable for use as a mount, and it is difficult to tame.
The remaining two large sea creatures were much smaller, one resembling a shark, but with two heads, and a dense layer of snake hair on top, which looked like Medusa.
The volume of this thing is the size of a large yacht, which is more in line with the requirements of Chen Mu and the monkey, but not to mention the strong aggression of this thing, its state alone is close to dying, and it can only be said that it ran aground too early.
The last large sea creature was smaller than this shark monster, the size of an ordinary yacht, and it looked alive.
It's just that this thing is an electric eel-type sea monster, the first half of which seems to be tied together with many yellow eels, and the second half of which is a thick python.
This thing is obviously not light, and it discharges wildly from time to time, and you know that it is not easy to deal with at a glance.
Originally, according to Chen Mu and the monkey's thoughts, if there was really no suitable target, they could only reluctantly try this yellow eel monster.
Thinking about that picture, riding a lump of yellow eel out to sea, Chen Mu really wanted to shout "Pipi shrimp, let's go"!
Fortunately, this incident did not happen, because just late yesterday, in front of Chen Mu and the monkey, another large sea monster ran aground.
This thing looks like a flying saucer, a huge mussel shell, and after going ashore, I can see that there are dense dark green tentacles under its chassis, which looks like kelp from a distance, and it is disgusting to look at when you twist around.
The size of the clam shell monster is not too large, but it must be more than enough to sit down with Chen Mu and the monkey.
The main thing is that this thing is obviously not that crazy, it is likely that the stranding time is still relatively short, and the degree of insanity is not strong enough.
And compared to the shark monster and the yellow eel monster, this mussel shell monster looks more "kind", at least after running aground, the attack methods it shows are not so powerful.
The most common is to tie up the small sea creatures that are close to them with "kelp", and if they encounter a little stronger, they have to open their shells.
Inside the mussel shell, there are dense columns of white flesh, which keep squirming, and the dense phobia person probably wants to die when he sees it.
Its attack is similar to that of a frog's predator, these white pillars of flesh are like a frog's tongue, which can be quickly ejected, grabbing enemies and dragging them back into the shell.
After dragging it in, the mussel shell will close, and it is estimated that some means will be used to digest and decompose the prey, which is likely to be some kind of strongly corrosive secretion.
In short, according to the observations of Chen Mu and the monkeys, the danger of this mussel shell monster should be lower than that of the shark monster and the yellow eel monster.
Moreover, the shark monster is already dying, and the yellow eel monster is too crazy, so they have no choice, only this clam shell monster is the most suitable.
So after waiting for another day, and there were no new large sea creatures stranded, Chen Mu and the monkey began the clam shell monster capture plan.
In fact, there is no need to catch it, this thing has already been stranded on the beach, and the only trouble is how to suppress it, and on the premise of not killing it, make it obedient, at least honestly take Chen Mu and the monkey out to sea.
