1279. Surfaced (2/8)
After receiving Qin Shiou's order, the three little girls were immediately excited and went out together.
However, the snowball cannot reach the seaside, and the little white whale has become a big white whale. Its body is four and a half meters long, and its whole body is shining with crystal colors and its luster is shining. It looks absolutely the best in the sea.
In addition to mobilizing the third little boy, Qin Shiou also sent a killer legion that had not been used for a long time - the Birdtail Mantis Shrimp Group.
The instructions he gave to the mantis shrimp were to advance from the coastline of the public fishing grounds to the depths of the ocean. When he encountered shellfish on the road, he would smash and eat them all!
If it weren't for the poisonous shell incident in the town, Qin Shiou wouldn't remember that he could use this trick to disperse the mantis shrimps. They like to smash shellfish and eat them very much. When they were in the fishing ground, they harmed the shellfish raised by Qin Shiou every day.
No matter what kind of fish, shrimps and crabs are there, there are many, but there are very few shellfish, and the population expansion cannot be completed through wild breeding alone.
One of the reasons for this situation is the strong appetite of the mantis shrimps. They have nothing to do all day long to sweep offshore seabeds in the fishing ground, smashing and eating all the shellfish.
Even some tough mantis shrimps can dig geoducks from the sea mud. Qin Shiou is helpless, and what a group of foodies.
While sending his subordinates to help, Qin Shiou also dispatched four sea god consciousnesses to search along the coastline.
The sea area covered by the consciousness of the sea god was large enough and moved fast enough, but the coastline of the town was also very long, and he didn't search it for a while.
At this time, we saw that there were too many people and the power was great. It was still Bean who first discovered a chicken heart snail, and then found the consciousness of the sea god and swam over.
Bottlenose dolphins are creatures that like sports very much. Beans wander around the surrounding waters every day. This belongs to their territory, so they have an impression of the chicken heart snails and found them first.
Don’t look at the IQ of bottlenose dolphins, in some aspects, their IQ can reach the level of a 12-year-old child. In particular, Beans absorb so much sea god energy, and their IQ is quite high.
Following the bean, Qin Shiou quickly found a chicken heart snail.
This snail is about ten centimeters long, the shell is strong, the shell is large and heavy. Its snail shell is conical, the screw tower is low, and the base is white. The surface is covered with snail rows composed of black-brown spots and short longitudinal stripes.
Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet, then confirmed its identity, password cone snails, one of the most common species, with moderate toxicity.
When he found the chicken heart snail, it was preying on it. A squid as big as a child's palm slowly swam near the chicken heart snail. Because the pattern of this snail is complicated, it will cause many marine creatures to misunderstand it as a reef to hide.
After the little squid approached the code snail, the latter's kiss end slowly stretched out an arrow-shaped organ, which is the toothed tongue it used to attack.
There is a poisonous sac in the body of the chicken heart snail. The location where the toxin is transmitted through the poison delivery tube is the tooth tongue, which can inject venom into the prey.
However, the chicken heart snails dare not attack casually because their teeth and tongue will be broken once. They must determine the identity of the prey and determine that it can be successful. They will only take action, otherwise they will have to go hungry for a while.
There is no doubt that this little squid is a good food. When the chicken heart snail is approaching the position of the tooth tongue, the soft tooth tongue suddenly shot out, and then it broke after touching the little squid. The tooth tongue stayed in the little squid's body.
The little squid was startled and he was about to swim back and run away. However, the toxic attack occurred and it quickly couldn't move. Then he died.
The poison of chicken heart snail is protein toxicity, which is neurotoxic and is similar to the venom of king cobra.
After being bitten and poisoned, mammals will be red, swollen and tingling. The wound will first feel burning and then numb, and then gradually spread throughout the body, causing limbs to be weak, muscle paralysis, consciousness dissipation, and gradually fainting. The ultimate cause of death is myocardial weakness, which is the same as the king cobra.
If a small fish, shrimp, mollusk is bitten, it will not have so many symptoms, and it will directly die of nerve paralysis, just like this little squid!
When the password snail ended its attack, Qin Shiou used the consciousness of the sea god to mark it, and it would be easier to search for it tomorrow.
Then he continued to search and expanded around with the coded snail as the center, and soon discovered four or five coded snails.
These coded cone snails are distributed in a range of about 200 square meters, and they can be considered very concentrated in survival.
He continued to search forward and found another type of chicken heart snail.
This chicken heart snail is extremely beautiful, like a small porcelain bottle with a well-proportioned body. The base color of the shell is pure white, but the surface has complicated and dense brown-red markings. The shell is smooth and shiny. It looks like a delicate porcelain when you look at it.
This kind of chicken heart snail is more famous, and its scientific name is the red feathered taro snail. It can grow to twenty centimeters long. Once the length exceeds ten centimeters, it will be very valuable. It is no problem to get 100,000 and 200,000 at auction.
As for the red feathered taro snail with an extreme length of 20 centimeters, the price is no less than the Longgong Wengrong snail that Qin Shiou has been cultivating.
This red feathered taro snail is not that valuable. It is only five or six centimeters long. This kind of snail is relatively common and can be bought in the ornamental market for a few hundred Canadian dollars.
However, the reason why the price of this size of red feathered snails is that they are toxic and most people are unwilling to breed them, otherwise the price can be increased to another level.
After discovering the red feathered taro snails, Qin Shiou continued to search and found several password taro snails, so he basically judged that these chicken heart snails were thrown down by someone.
It is convincing to say that the larvae of the coded snails came to the island with the ocean current, but it is impossible to say that the larvae of the coded snails and the red feathered snails came here with the ocean current.
In addition, if Qin Shiou sets the distribution range of each spiral group as a point, the three points are connected to almost a straight line, and this straight line just connects the dock of the island!
It is not difficult to guess the truth, that is, someone took a ferry or drove a boat to sprinkle these poisonous shells in the waters near the island, and was vicious and determined to destroy the tourism industry that bid farewell to the island.
Qin Shiou could only guess this, and it was hard to say what the mastermind behind the scenes was. It might be the Morry family he had offended, Linton Waterrens' father and others, or someone who was jealous of saying goodbye to the town economy.
This is impossible to guess, Qin Shiou searched again and finally found two red feathered taro snails and fourteen coded taro snails.
He brought the red feathered taro to the coral reefs of the fishing ground, told the three little ones not to provoke them, and then swept the fourteen coded taro to the beach and divided them into two locations to facilitate tomorrow's search.
Then, he went to the mountain river to see the Florida squid fish. The female fish had completed the laying eggs and the male fish had completed their mission, and they all had fat heads and ears.
Seeing this, Qin Shiou brought them back to the ocean. It took two months for the small fish to hatch, and the female fish could not stand it in a freshwater environment for a long time. (To be continued)
