Golden Fishery

Qin Shiou was afraid that taking this weird creature out of the water rashly would lead to death, so he injected some Seagod energy into this one in his hand.

The surface of the little creature in his hand was originally dull gray-black, but after absorbing the Seagod's energy, its skin suddenly lit up slowly, and finally turned into the same crimson color as some of its kind.

This discovery made him very surprised, what's going on? This little thing is really weird.

Swimming out of the sea, Qin Shiou spat out the oxygen tube in his mouth, and shouted to Shaq who was putting a net on the boat not far away: "Old Sha, come here, I have something here, let's see what it is."

Before the breeding nets were finished, Shaq couldn't come by boat, so he drove the motorboat hanging beside the boat and rushed there, but when he came to Qin Shiou's side and saw the appearance of these strange little creatures, he showed the same blank expression on his face , said: "This, what is this? I don't seem to have seen it before. Could it be some mutant creature?"

Indeed, the little thing in Qin Shiou's hand looks a bit sci-fi, and it's easy for people to think in other ways.

But he thinks he should ask Professor Sanders, for example, the bulb sea squirt, even Shaq and the fishermen can't recognize it, Professor Sanders knows what it is after hearing the description without looking at the photos.

It was the same this time. After Qin Shiou called, Sanders was overjoyed after hearing his description, and exclaimed, "Hey, this is not a mutant creature. When I passed by, you actually caught these little guys? What luck." !"

The old professor is also hot-tempered, he is still in Toronto, he left as soon as he said, and hung up the phone after leaving a word, leaving Qin Shiou stunned: The old professor didn't tell him what it was!

Fortunately, Sanders was not ignorant, and immediately called again and said, "Sorry, Qin, I was too impatient. I just hung up on you when I wanted to book a plane ticket. That. Let me introduce you, you The thing in your hand is called a vampire octopus, and its scientific name is a ghost octopus. By the way. Is it still alive?"

Qin Shiou looked at the strange guy in his hand and said, "Alive, but it doesn't look like he's living very well."

After hearing this. The old professor became nervous and said: "Be careful, Qin, you must be careful, hurry up—damn, I don't know what to do, you don't have a pressure pump in your hand, this is a deep-sea creature. It will appear in the shallow sea very quickly." dead!"

Qin Shiou hurriedly injected the sea god's energy into this little creature, and at the same time injected the sea god's energy into the underwater ones to supply their vitality, and then said: "Don't worry, they don't seem to have a big problem, it's just that they don't live very comfortably. Doesn't look like it's going to die..."

"They? Isn't it? Oh God, how many vampire octopuses do you have?" the old professor asked excitedly.

Qin Shiou said: "We found six now, but I don't know how many are left in the water. That professor, can you tell me what these things are first? Are they precious? Why are you so excited?"

The old professor's voice rose again: "Of course I am excited, of course I am excited. These are living fossils in the ocean! They may have existed on the earth for tens of millions of years, and they are in the same era as dinosaurs! And their * It’s hard to see them because they live in deep waters between 1,000 and 4,000 meters. They are so small and so few in number, it’s hard to meet them!”

Qin Shiou shrugged and put the little things into the water. Anyway, he has already controlled them, and he is not afraid of them escaping. Let them survive in the water first.

While Saunders said that vampire octopuses live in deep water, he feels that these creatures seem to be able to survive in shallow waters.

Saunders then explained to him that vampire squid appeared at least 80 million years ago, and possibly even longer, and that they are the ancestors of squid and octopus. Originally lived in the shallow sea. But at that time, they had a natural enemy called plesiosaur, and squid without hard shell protection could easily become the food of plesiosaur. In order to avoid the hunting of natural enemies, they have to move to the deep sea.

There is a retrograde phenomenon in living things. Maybe these vampire octopuses have this phenomenon, so they can appear in the offshore without dying. Of course, this is just speculation, and Sanders said that to be sure what happened, he would have to study it.

Qin Shiou asked strangely: "But I think, professor, these guys have no research value, right? Why are you so excited? Just because their * is very rare?"

Professor Saunders laughed and said, "Of course not, Qin, I'm excited for you. Do you still remember the black-capped giant worm you gave me? I've been doing research on black-capped giant worms. They seem to be similar to vampire squid. Mysterious connection, I analyzed the carapace composition of the giant black cover worm, and then compared it in the database, and found that the composition of them is similar to the teeth on the tentacles of the vampire squid!"

"Also, you don't know, the vampire squid now leaves a suspense in marine biology and evolution, that is, why did they evolve in an ordinary creature 80 million years ago or even hundreds of millions of years ago? Can they survive for such a long time under the same premise? I think the composition of their teeth and the composition of the carapace of the giant black-covered worm may be able to answer the question!"

Hearing that this little thing was related to the giant black-covered worm, Qin Shiou suddenly became excited. He himself knows best how big the secret of the giant black cover worm is, it is a powerful existence that can slow down the metabolism of creatures and increase the life span of creatures! Although Dabai's situation is getting worse and worse, he still lives by eating the powder of the black-covered giant worm's carapace and absorbing the energy of the sea god!

Qin Shiou quickly strengthened his control over the six little vampire octopuses, and then found an aquarium to put them in, continuously injecting Seagod's energy into them to maintain their lives.

But he thought about it, and put the remaining five into the water, leaving only one in the aquarium.

He left behind a sea god consciousness to look at the five vampire octopuses, and he had other thoughts about them.

That evening, when Sanders arrived at the fishing ground, what he saw was the only vampire octopus left in the aquarium. Seeing this, he asked nervously, "Qin, where are the other five little guys?"

Qin Shiou said with a wry smile: "Sorry, professor, I saw these guys when I was diving. They were attached to Geng's body. I only brought one to the surface. I went to find the others later. I don't know where they went. You You know, they're so small and have body color control, one miss is hard to find."

Yes, the body of the vampire octopus can emit bioluminescence, which is to turn the surface of the body into a deep red color.

Vampire octopuses live in the deep sea, and one of their life-saving means is this kind of bioluminescence. When they sense danger, they will suddenly glow to confuse predators and then run away. In the morning, when Qin Shiou infused the vampire octopus with sea god energy, he saw it emit a deep red light with his own eyes. (To be continued.)
