Four hundred and thirty sixth chapter large mother-of-pearl
Ever since she knew that Han Kongque was not an ordinary person, Liu Xu had been a little confused. Now she finally had the opportunity to be like Han Kongque, and of course she would not give up the opportunity.
The reason why I pushed and refused was because I was acting coquettishly with Han Peacock, and I wanted to get some benefits, and I wanted to take a shortcut so that I could catch up with Han Peacock as soon as possible.
Women pretend to be weak, which arouses men's protective desire and makes him have the spirit of a man. This is very conducive to women getting more favors. This may be the innate cunning of all women.
Just when Liu Xu wanted to express her determination and reassure the man, she felt Han Kongque stop from his rapid state.
"What's wrong?" Liuxu asked involuntarily.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "I seem to have discovered something good again."
Liuxu looked at the surrounding environment. There were coral reefs everywhere, and there were a lot of tall aquatic plants growing there. There were also a lot of fish around, and there were more aquatic animals and plants. Such a complex environment actually made this shallow sea area, even
Even during the day, it seemed a bit dark.
"Why did you come to a place like this? Isn't it difficult to get around here?" Liu Xu said.
Han Kongque said: "There are few people here, so it's not easy for us to be discovered. I didn't expect that we could find some benefits by walking from here."
Seeing Han Peacock's smile, Liuxu felt a sense of familiarity. Han Peacock would only show such a smile after discovering a treasure.
Liuxu said: "Have you discovered the best coral again? Didn't you say that the texture of coral in shallow seas is not good? Is it a very beautiful coral?"
Han Peacock smiled and said: "This time it's not about coral, but something more interesting than coral. Don't say anything. Take out your DVD and take a picture. The light in this place is pretty good. You should be able to take some interesting pictures."
"
Han Peacock took the catkins and carefully floated towards a piece of sand hidden in the coral reef. The two of them were like fallen leaves, directly hidden in a pile of coral.
Liuxu held the dv and had no idea what she was going to shoot. When she fell into the coral, she immediately started taking pictures of the startled fish and the swaying coral bushes that were carried by the fish.
When the fish jumped out of the coral bush, Catkin's DVD captured a wonderful scene.
From the dv picture, Liuxu saw some large turtles dancing around some big shells.
Liu Xu looked at the dv screen in surprise for a long time before she thought of moving her eyes away and looked at the place where the dv was shining.
At this time, the Korean peacock was already watching with relish a group of turtles, besieging a piece of giant scallops.
Yes, it's just a group of turtles fighting some big shells.
Whenever a group of turtles rush into the scallop's habitat, the scallops will emit a jet of water, and with this jet of water, the scallops will be picked up by the current. At this time, the scallops picked up by the vortex will spin and attack the scallops.
Group of sea turtles.
Some scallops opened their shells directly and pinched the turtles who stretched their heads to bite their shells.
Although turtles are more nimble than scallops, this group of huge turtles, which numbered fifty or sixty, actually had no way to deal with the group of scallops.
Every time they encounter a shell attack from a scallop, they will immediately retract their heads into the turtle shell. Even so, the knife-like outer edge of the scallop's edge can still cut traces on the turtle shell.
"What kind of shell is this? Isn't this even more powerful than a swordsman?" Liu Xu exclaimed.
Han Kongque said: "It's a pure death knife dance. If one is not careful, humans will be cut in half by these shells."
The shellfish they usually encounter are passive and beaten, but these big shellfish here seem to have become sperm, and can actually fight against huge turtles.
"These shells are so big!" Liu Catkin said.
Han Peacock said: "It's not just the shells that are big. Those turtles are not small either."
Looking from Peacock and Catkin's side, in the shellfish habitat, there are many scallops, large and small, densely arranged.
But there are only big ones on the outside. The smallest one is the size of a basin, the big ones are like millstones, and the bigger ones are two big shells that are like boulders. These two big shells are on the outermost side, and every time they will
Rush into a group of turtles and scatter them.
If you hadn't clearly seen that they were shellfish, you wouldn't have been able to imagine that those two giant shellfish, which were as big as boulders, could actually use the water flow to return to their own group after attacking the turtles. That kind of
It's so flexible that even human dancers would be ashamed to see it.
Han Peacock felt the sound of their collision and knew that these two creatures were not kind. Looking at the shells that did not leave any scars, Han Peacock felt that these shells were very hard.
Although he didn't know how hard the shells were, he knew the hardness of the turtle shells. He could scratch a white mark on the turtle shells without any damage to himself. He also knew that the hardness of these shells was definitely not lower than that of turtle shells.
When the shells and turtle shells collide, the muffled sound they make is like the sound of gold. The shells of these two things must be as hard as steel. Logically speaking, such hard things should be ugly, but this is not the case at all.
Those shells were crystal clear and dazzling. If he hadn't seen the current situation, Han Peacock would not have been able to imagine that such a beautiful thing could be so hard and so dangerous.
And those turtles are not bad either. Although their turtle shells are not as beautiful as those shells, they are black, red and yellow, and you can also see the flashing fluorescence on the turtle shells. Although they are not very beautiful, they are definitely not ugly either.
Seeing the two groups colliding again and again under the leadership of their respective leaders, Han Peacock and Liuxu shed cold sweat.
Liuxu leaned into Han Peacock's arms and felt a sense of safety before saying, "Fortunately, we didn't rush forward rashly. These things are too fierce."
Looking at the scallops flying like saucers one by one, and the huge turtles exposing their mouths full of sharp teeth, no one in these two groups is good at it!
The shape of the shell is round, slightly square or nearly rectangular, slightly flat, and looks like a saucer. This shape is more convenient for them to attack.
The shell surface is smooth and dark brown, with light brown radiating ribs, and the edges are golden or yellowish brown horny, making such a dangerous creature look very beautiful.
In larger individuals, there is a yellow band between the outer edge of the nacre and the edge of the shell, which can be seen very clearly by Korean peacocks and catkins.
"Why do I seem to have seen this kind of shell somewhere? Could it be used as medicine?" Liuxu asked strangely. The shells she had seen were only found in Chinese medicinal materials.
Han Peacock also looked at these large shells, which live in temperate tropical oceans and can grow so big and saucer-shaped. Han Peacock suddenly thought of a name: "Pearl oysters?"
"Pearl oyster?" Liu Catkin said.
Han Peacock was already excited at this time: "Yes, it must be a pearl oyster, and it is the largest pearl oyster, Pinctada maxima. Pinctada maxima is the largest pearl oyster in my country. It is also called white plate oyster. Its shell is very large, usually about 25 centimeters. , the largest shell can reach 32 centimeters in length and weigh 4-5 kilograms. These ones here are generally larger, so I didn’t recognize them for a while.”
"You also said it is the largest pearl oyster in our country. This is not our country, but in the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean." Liu Catkin said.
"That's why I didn't think of it for a moment. Pinctada maxima is a tropical or subtropical species with a narrow distribution range, mainly along the coasts of the Indian Ocean and South Pacific. In my country, it is distributed in the coastal waters of Hainan Island, Xisha Islands, and Leizhou Peninsula.
This thing likes to live in groups in coral reefs, rocky gravels and other sea areas, and lives with developed byssal tents. The water flow in the habitat is smooth, and the water depth is more than 10 meters, usually 20-50 meters, and the deepest can reach 200 meters.
These conditions are all suitable, and the most important thing is that Pinctada maxima is the best pearl oyster in the world. Due to overfishing, Pinctada maxima is in danger of extinction. We are really lucky to find so many.
.”
"You don't want to take them away, do you? Look at that Death Knife Dance you just mentioned. Can you catch them intact?" Liuxu rolled her eyes.
Don't forget that pearl oysters are like rocks on land and are easily bullied by others, but in this water, they are not weak, but absolutely tough. What if those turtles wearing armor can't even deal with them?
"As long as it's something in the water, there's nothing I can't catch, and there's nothing I can't catch. It's just a matter of whether I want to or not." Han Peacock said proudly.
Liuxu said directly: "Then let's catch these turtles first! I feel disgusted when I look at them. Pearl oysters are so beautiful and kind, why do they always want to eat them? Really, the shells of pearl oysters are so hard,
Can these turtles bite away?"
Han Peacock was stunned. He looked at the turtles. Turtles were relatively big in his impression, so even if he saw such a large group of small turtles, Han Peacock didn't pay much attention.
But then he thought that such a ferocious turtle was rare! And it was a turtle that liked to eat shellfish. What kind of turtle was this?
Han Peacock observed a few of the largest turtles. Some of them were more than two meters long. They had two pairs of forehead scales on their heads, their snout was flat on the side, and the front end of their upper jaw was hooked in the shape of an olecranon.
There are 2 pairs of scales on the forehead; the scutes on the back are arranged in an imbricate pattern; the horny plates on the back are arranged in an imbricate pattern, with a smooth surface and alternating brown and light yellow patterns. The limbs are flipper-shaped. The forelimbs have 2 claws and a short tail.
Normally you can't see her armor exposed, and her temperament is absolutely violent.
These turtles are all larger in size. Even the smallest one has a carapace curve length of 65 to 85 centimeters, so its weight will never be less than 45 to 75 kilograms.
The carapace is brownish-red, shiny, with light yellow cloud spots; the ventral carapace is yellow with brown spots.
They live in tropical and subtropical oceans, inhabit relatively shallow waters such as coastal coral reefs, and like to eat shellfish. There should not be many such turtles, but Han Peacock still couldn't remember what kind of turtle it was.
