Four hundred and twelve. Peacock Mantis Shrimp VS Black Butterfly Shell

The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is coming soon, ahem, I would like to trouble everyone to vote hard, fight for the bullet casings, and see if we can explode for two days in three days of Dragon Boat Festival. Allowed, it must explode! \u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026

The coral reef sea area is the core sea area of ​​the fishing ground, where the most treasures live, such as black butterfly shells.

Sensing the emergence of the sea god's consciousness, the ice skates and snowball wandered over. Qin Shiou played with them for a while to check the growth of the black butterfly shell.

Judging from the reaction of Tiffany's chief designer Liv Dalem, Qin Shiou felt that he had to protect these black butterfly shells. Black pearls are expensive, especially perfect black pearls. After being designed into jewelry, the value is not inferior to ordinary antiques. .

He is going to make the black pearl a trump card for the fishing ground to enter the upper class. The chance of success is very high. There are more than one hundred black butterfly shells, which are enough to support a small luxury market.

Originally, the black butterfly shells lived in the northern waters of the coral reef. Qin Shiou wanted to move them to the center of the coral reef, where it was safer.

There is a rule in the expansion of coral reefs. Everything cannot grow without the sun. This is especially true for reef-building corals, which have high requirements for temperature and light.

Because of the absorption of light by seawater, plankton and suspended sediment, the light enters rapidly as the depth of the ocean increases. Even in Australia's particularly clear seawater, only a few species of reef-building corals can barely live at a depth of 100 meters. sea ​​area.

for most corals. Seventy to eighty meters is already the limit of survival, and in Qin Shiou's fishing ground, even if the coral polyps are transformed by the Sea God's energy. It can also go deep into the bottom of the sea at a depth of 50 meters at most.

In fact, it is a miracle that there are corals in the Daqin fishing ground. The entire coastline of Canada is in temperate and frigid waters, and there should be no coral reefs at all.

The coral polyps in the Daqin Fishing Ground should have been introduced by Qin Hongde, the previous owner of the Heart of the Sea God. Qin Shiou had discovered earlier that the fishing ground was moving into the deep sea, and there were many traces of coral reefs. Too bad the corals are all dead.

Guess, it was when Qin Hongde was alive that he used Seagod energy to support coral polyps. Later he died. In the past ten years, coral polyps have died one after another, leaving patches of bare dead coral reefs and the small patch of living coral polyps that Qin Shiou encountered when he came.

Later, Qin Shiou expanded the coral reef based on the living coral polyps, but the coral polyps moved to the south and offshore waters first. This is their nature. The closer to the south, the better the sunlight, and the shallower the water, the stronger the sunlight penetration.

In this way, the black butterfly shells can only stay at the northern edge.

When the Poseidon consciousness passed away,

Qin Shiou was taken aback. The mantis shrimp who had followed the fulmar to the fishing ground not long ago discovered the delicacy of the black butterfly shells, and even surrounded them, jingling the black butterfly shells and preparing to eat them.

Peatail Mantis Shrimp are extremely gorgeous in appearance, but underneath their glamorous appearance is a violent heart. They are fierce and sensitive, extremely aggressive and territorial, in Daqin Fishing Ground. They are small in size but they are well-deserved number one killers.

Why do you say that? The peatail mantis shrimp has a pair of very well-developed jaw feet called trapping limbs. The frontmost section of the limb is in the shape of a single thorn, the end is very sharp like an awl, and the root is raised and thickened.

In this way, when it is folded up, the thickened part can crush the hard shells of crustaceans, shellfish, snails and other animals like a hammer; and when it is stretched out. It can easily pierce the soft tissue of animals.

When attacking prey, the peacock mantis shrimp can eject the front end of its prey in one-fiftieth of a second. A pistol bullet with a maximum speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour and an acceleration of more than 0.22 inches can produce an impact force of up to 60 kilograms, and the instantaneous high temperature generated by friction can even cause electric sparks to appear in the surrounding water!

This is not an exaggeration. A British scientist once injured his finger while wearing gloves when he went into the sea to catch it, and his blood flowed continuously. And there are many laboratory records, saying that oceanographers caught peacock mantis shrimp and brought them back to the laboratory to put them in a measuring cylinder, and the measuring cylinder was also smashed by it...

These peacock mantis shrimps are excited when they find black butterfly shells. Their hunting range is very wide, from slow-moving shellfish and snails, to shrimps and crabs that walk past it, and just want to fill up. A fish with a full stomach, as long as it is spotted by the peacock mantis shrimp, it will definitely punch its prey fiercely.

Among these foods, shellfish and snails are their favorites.

The only downside of peacock mantis shrimp is their speed. They don't crawl very fast, so they especially like shellfish and snails that can move faster than them. Plus, mussels and snails are so tender that they can be enjoyed simply by cracking the shells.

Surrounding the black butterfly shells, the peatail mantis shrimp began to attack, curling up and beating the back shell of the black butterfly shells.

The black butterfly shells are not very active, but this does not mean that they are powerless to fight back.

Using the protection of their strong shells, some big black butterfly shells slightly opened their shells to reveal the gaps, and some peacock-tailed mantis shrimps were impatient, so they recklessly tried to get in.

As a result, they drilled in, and with a 'click', the black butterfly shell quickly closed the shell. This would be a disaster for the Peacock Mantis Shrimp. If there were no accidents, they would be cut in half. The closed muscles of the Black Butterfly Shell are notoriously strong, especially after being transformed by the Seagod's energy.

The shells of large black butterfly shells are very thick, and the peacock mantis shrimp cannot be smashed, so they give priority to attacking small black butterfly shells.

This war has been going on for a few days. When Qin Shiou arrived, almost all the twenty or so little black butterfly shells were killed, leaving only pieces of broken shells.

The big black butterfly shells knew that the situation was not good, so they tried every means to escape.

They stretched out their skirts tentatively, wanting to move away. When some clever peacock mantis shrimps discovered this, they immediately stretched their trapping limbs to reveal their sharp front ends, and stabbed them with a 'swish' at once, snapping the black The body of the butterfly shell was nailed to the outside.

This puts the situation in danger for the black butterfly shells, which cannot close their shells, and it seems that as long as the peacock mantis shrimps slip through the gaps, they can eat a delicious dinner.

The matter is not so simple. The black butterfly shells are very bachelors. When they find that their skirts are pinned, they immediately close the shells and cut off the soft body that sticks out!

Seeing the black butterfly shells being bullied like this, Qin Shiou's heart ached terribly. This was his source of income. The peacock-tailed mantis shrimps were too much!

The Poseidon's consciousness became angry, rolled up a small vortex on the bottom of the sea, and knocked these peacock-tailed mantis shrimp aside, and then he called the big fish around, come up and eat them for me!

The seven catshark brothers were poking their heads behind them, following the Seagod's consciousness to absorb energy, and received the command from the Seagod's consciousness, they immediately rushed out when they saw that the opponent was Xiao Xiami, eager to make contributions.

Peatail mantis shrimps are relatively small, generally seven or eight centimeters long, and the largest ones are about ten centimeters. In the eyes of the cat shark brothers, these are relatively indigestible foods, and they are not easy to deal with by pinching snails with nine fingers?

The ocean is the most dangerous hunting ground. If you can survive until now without being eliminated by nature, even arctic shrimp should not be underestimated, let alone the peatail mantis shrimp, which is known as the most powerful fighting mantis of the same size. (to be continued)
