Chapter 33
Good stuff! Xiang Yang watched from a close distance, his eyes were quite obsessed but he didn't dare to grab it with his hands.
The tentacles of the bubble coral are highly poisonous. The poison can not only kill plankton and some fish and shellfish, but also an important means for it to defend against enemies. Being touched by the tentacles of the bubble coral is definitely better than being touched by a common jellyfish. It's much more serious.
Forget it, it's not golden bubble coral, so it's not worth the risk. Xiang Yang watched it for a while and continued to walk slowly towards the higher seabed mountain range ahead. The colors of bubble corals are mostly milky white, clean white, and yellow, among which yellow is the cheapest, and white is of average value. There are very few variations of golden bubble corals. The golden and dazzling golden bubble corals are of great ornamental value. The one I saw was just the more common clean white.
Continuing to walk up the hillside, Xiang Yang saw more coral creatures, including finger coral, which is the most popular coral in people's mouth, yellow, green, pink, brown and other different finger corals Formed in clusters, very beautiful.
Xiang Yang searched the vicinity for a while, but he sighed slightly after not finding the blood-red finger coral, but he was not disappointed. Blood coral is not so good.
Going up, you will reach the top of the mountain, which is really close to the sea, and the seaweed is no longer as dense and abundant as at the foot of the mountain, and all kinds of beautiful fish schools are gradually becoming scarce, leaving only some huge ones. Leather mushroom corals cling to jagged rocks.
Leather mushroom corals are not actually corals in the strict sense, they are actually large polyps that are soft corals that do not have the hard skeleton of corals in the popular sense, and do not live in groups like most corals, usually prefer to be independent Attached to a rock, and can move short distances at any time.
Xiang Yang had no interest in leather mushroom corals, so he passed the mountain top and walked towards the deep sea on the other side of the mountain.
The other side of this submarine mountain range is the sunny slope. The scenery of the sunny slope is completely different from that of the sunny slope. There are no coral polyps that live in the sun, and there are no groups of tropical fish that like the sun, but there are shades that like shade. There are transparent jellyfish, yellow seahorses, and fish schools that are completely different from Xiangyangpo but equally colorful. Countless beautiful marine life is like a moving colored pen, painting a gorgeous seabed together. world.
Xiang Yang looked at the colorful and different shapes of marine life in the vast sea at the bottom of the mountain, floating, diving, or lying quietly on the bottom of the sea. scene.
While watching along the way, Xiang Yang continued to walk slowly towards the depths of the trench. Xiang Yang knew that these bright-looking tropical sea fish were actually extremely weak in the entire ocean. Sometimes a big fish might swallow their entire group in one bite. . The bright colors on their bodies are actually warning colors. Whenever big fish approach them, they will gather together, so that they look like a colorful sea snake from a distance, which can scare away a large number of marine predators.
There are also marine fish that have evolved their own color into the color of the surrounding environment after millions of years of evolution, so that they can better hide themselves with the help of the surrounding environment when encountering predators.
Natural selection of the fittest will survive. Xiang Yang casually broke off a bowl-sized sea snail from a jagged rock and threw it into his net bag. Surviving in the huge biosphere of the ocean is a very difficult thing. All kinds of animals are trying to protect themselves in countless years of natural competition and elimination, such as snails and scallops. They have evolved hard shells, and some Marine life is even more amazing, and they have even developed special functions such as electric discharge and poisonousness when they are pushed.
Sea snails can be regarded as a relatively valuable high-end seafood. Xiang Yang caught one and continued to look for the second one.
Xiang Yang, who was looking for the figure of the sea snail, suddenly trembled all over, and backed away in fright.
How can there be box jellyfish in this sea area? After retreating more than ten meters in a row, Xiang Yang looked at the place in front of him where he was standing before with a light blue transparent body and a shape like a small jellyfish. A box with four large jellyfish over twenty centimeters long on each side.
If someone asks what is the most poisonous creature in the ocean, most people will probably answer sea snakes. Everyone knows that sea snakes are highly poisonous.
But in fact, there is no most poisonous creature on the bottom of the sea, only more poisonous creatures.
Box jellyfish is one of the most poisonous creatures among countless highly poisonous marine creatures. It is known as the transparent killer in the ocean, and it is second only to the notorious great white shark among the top ten deadliest marine animals.
The box jellyfish is one of the deadliest creatures known in the world. Once a person is stabbed by its tentacles, he will definitely not survive for three minutes, and there is no effective antidote except serum.
Xiang Yang's expression was very ugly. Although he had encountered some highly poisonous sea creatures in this rich sea area before, those sea creatures were either not very aggressive, or the toxins were not deadly enough to cause any serious harm.
But the box jellyfish is different. The box jellyfish is definitely one of the most hated marine creatures by fishermen in all countries, because the box jellyfish likes to surface in the morning and evening, and especially likes to swim quietly to the pier and the seashore. In this lively place, fishermen and tourists die every year because of box jellyfish.
After Xiang Yang hesitated for a while, he decided not to provoke this box jellyfish. He decided to write down the location of this sea area first, and then come to this area after the diving equipment on the boat is upgraded. The sea area hits the autumn wind.
Avoiding the box jellyfish, Xiang Yang continued to walk down the hillside. Xiang Yang's eyes lit up not far away, and he saw a large group of sea scorpions living between two coral reefs not far away. . This kind of sea scorpion with a fish face but a toad-like body and 13 venomous stingers on its back is an extremely precious delicacy.
Grabbing one of these precious seafood is worth half a month's work for an ordinary person, and no one would want to let it go when they meet a large group.
Xiang Yang was no exception, he swam to the side of the group of sea scorpions in a flash, and looked at the biggest ones among the group of sea scorpions, trying to fish them into his net pocket several times.
But looking at the hideous and terrifying poisonous stinger on the opponent's back, Xiang Yang felt like a treasure mountain was empty but he couldn't do anything.
