C373 Tuna
C373 Tuna
Bai Xiaobei stuck his head out and made an OK sign: "Ziyi, take Momo and hang out in this area first. This area is less than 100 meters deep, and the beach below is very beautiful!"
Deep Sea Lee Momo couldn't dive down, but Bai Xiaobei was worried that something might happen. After all, it was easy to cause trouble and cause trouble for others, no matter what happened.
"Oh, oh, oh, Submersible Sea!" Hoodlum immediately rushed down, Bai Xiaobei immediately went forward to hug Hitchhike, stopping him from doing anything.
"What are you doing, big brother?" he struggled innocently.
"Do you know that you are not allowed to leave Ziyi's and her line of sight? Otherwise, I'll send you back immediately. You won't be able to go anywhere in the future, so just stay home and study! "
If he didn't make it clear, he would run like a mad man. It would be terrible if he got lost in the sea.
He quickly pointed at the Little Head and said: "Go around, go around, go around! Go around and find some shells!"
Wu Ziyi and Lee Momo also came down from the stage, only then did Bai Xiaobei loosen his grip and say: "This place is very beautiful, Ziyi, you must take care to protect Momo."
"Got it, by the way, where are you going?"
Hearing Bai Xiaobei's tone, Wu Ziyi knew where Bai Xiaobei was going and asked curiously.
"Go prepare the seafood dishes. When the time comes, we'll eat seafood barbecue and also gather some seafood. When we get back, we'll give them to people. Very few people in our village have eaten seafood before."
With Cyan Rock Village far away from the ocean, Bai Xiaobei wanted to bring back some seafood. Of course, this was only in passing, his main goal was to find treasures.
Wu Ziyi and Lee Momo's attention shifted immediately and they dived deeper. Bai Xiaobei threatened them once more, while nodding his head to show that he understood. Then, he dived down.
Bai Xiaobei, who had already reached Foundation Establishment, was extremely fast. Compared to the previous time, his full speed was much faster, even sharks would not be able to catch up.
"Hmm? A shark? "
In the distance, less than a few hundred meters under the sea, a long, thick, round, streamlined, tapering back with a slender base and a forked or crescent-shaped caudal fin. On both sides of the tailstock, there are distinct ridges, and each side has a line of small fins behind the dorsal and gluteal fins. It has a torpedo body and a slightly circular cross section. The shape of the shark was also unique. Its entire body was streamlined, and the breastplate that extended along its head seemed to be a unique balance plate that could adjust the flow of the water.
Bai Xiaobei was curious. He had encountered a shark here and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Wasn't this a tuna? How is this a shark!
Tuna! Bai Xiaobei was overjoyed. This two meter long tuna was extremely fast, but it was difficult for it to escape Bai Xiaobei's speed. In the blink of an eye, it arrived beside the tuna.
Sure enough, it was a tuna, its tail in a half-moon shape, allowing it to move quickly in the sea. Strong muscle and crescent-shaped caudal fin, shoulder by the gradual expansion of the scales to form the breastplate, back side darker, abdomen side silver, usually with rainbow color light and stripes. Another characteristic was the developed network of blood vessels under his stomach, which could be used as a body temperature regulating device for long distance and slow swimming. Lee Momo had previously fed him tuna as food, and it was also a black tuna, the most expensive type.
This was obviously the black tuna, also known as Bluefin Tuna.
"What luck! We found this kind of fish here?" Bai Xiaobei had heard that tunas would usually haunt an ocean with a higher temperature. He never thought that he would be able to meet one here, so he quickly extended his hand to grab one.
Bluefin Tuna, the largest species of tuna, also known as black fin tuna. He had a short, compact, slender body, with a criss-crossing caudal fin. The color of his body was bright from side to side, while his upper body was dark blue, his fins were dark, his small fins were yellowish, and the crests of his tail handles were black. The largest feature of this species is that the whole body is scaly, the mouth is quite large, the eyes are small, and the pectoral fins are short, and the end is less than the center of the first dorsal fin. Generally, a person's body length could be 1-3 meters, the big one was over 3 meters, and their weight was over 700 kg. This rule was obviously not the largest.
Sensing Bai Xiaobei approaching, the Bluefin Tuna was obviously frightened, it increased its speed quickly, but before Bai Xiaobei's eyes, it could not escape, and directly slapped its head. Puchi!
The huge tuna was directly smacked to death, and its body was still involuntarily twitching and shaking. Bai Xiaobei grabbed the tuna and put it into his storage pouch.
"I'm so lucky!" Bai Xiaobei was very happy. After returning home, he invited everyone to eat barbecued seafood. Most probably, no one had eaten this grilled tuna before.
He continued to swim towards the sea, and after ten minutes or so, he felt that he had reached a depth of almost ten thousand meters, and was swimming towards the bottom of the sea.
The deeper they swam, the colder the water became, and the number of fish they could see became fewer and fewer. The pressure at the bottom of the sea was simply too great, and there weren't many living creatures that could adapt to it.
When Bai Xiaobei was feeling that the pressure was not light, he saw the bottom of the sea. If not for his sight being immune to most of the darkness, he would not be able to see anything clearly from below.
There were shining fish in the sea. This was the survival and evolution of the fish that lived tens of thousands of meters below the sea surface. Because it was dark here, they relied on this to attract the fish and then eat them.
Unlike the last time when he came to this place with Liu Sansheng, it was clearly colder here. Fish that were tens of thousands of meters deep in the sea all adapted to the environment, and the physique of their bodies had already changed greatly. These changes are reflected in the muscles and bones of deep-sea fish. The bones of fish are very thin and curving, and the muscle tissue is exceptionally flexible and the fibrous tissue surprisingly fine due to the immense pressure of the deep sea environment.
More interestingly, fish skin tissue becomes just a very thin membrane that fills the body with water and keeps the internal and external pressure balanced. This was the reason why deep-sea fish could not be squashed under such immense pressure.
Secondly, in order to adapt to the dark environment of the deep sea, fish that live in the depths of the sea need to identify their own species in the extremely dim light, find a mate and forage for food. This requires them to have the ability to emit light.
Different fishes emit different lights; by means of these lights, information can be passed on to one another in the same fish, luring other fishes to sacrifice themselves, or to escape predators. Therefore, luminescence is one of the important means by which deep-sea fish survive.
Bai Xiaobei's appearance had clearly frightened a flat fish near him. It immediately began to sway back and forth, its speed was extremely slow.
"Is this fish delicious?" Bai Xiaobei thought for a moment, but in the end, he did not make a move. After all, even if people relied on detectors to scan a fish that was tens of thousands of meters deep, they could not confirm whether it was poisonous or not.
A slender shadow rushed over from afar and Bai Xiaobei had already, hurriedly struck out with his palm. A shadow that was only four or five meters long was slapped away, and the palm that contained a Spirit Energy actually made it struggle frantically to escape. Bai Xiaobei felt as if he had struck a sponge, and immediately understood that this creature at the bottom of the sea could not be underestimated.
This was a snake-like creature, probably because it had become different in order to adapt to the sea bottom. Bai Xiaobei did not pursue it, but went downstairs to look for treasures.
It was different from the last ten kilometers. There were fewer creatures, fewer shells, crustaceans, sea cucumbers, and starfish. The temperature was also quite cold.
After swimming for a while, they were attacked by a few unscrupulous deep-sea creatures one after another. However, each and every one of them had strong life-saving abilities, and Bai Xiaobei was able to use his ability to prevent them from dying.
Very quickly, Bai Xiaobei felt the temperature rise a little. Surprised, he looked around. In the dusky sea bottom, there seemed to be a lot of living creatures, but he understood, this was clearly a place that was getting deeper and deeper.
Many creatures also appeared one after another. When Bai Xiaobei saw a volcano at the bottom of the sea, he immediately understood, because this place was suitable for survival.
There were a lot of soft creatures at the bottom of the ocean, some colourful giant starfish, skinny underwater rocks, weird shaped fish, Bai Xiaobei even saw where the lantern fish was hiding, quietly relying on his own light to attract fish, but unfortunately, the fish in the vicinity obviously knew that it was not easy to mess with, and they all circled around.
"This stone is very hard and red in color, but it's not pure. Refining it is very troublesome."
Bai Xiaobei was a little disappointed when he saw the most stone and mineral here. After all, they were at least ten thousand meters under the sea, and the pressure was enough to crush all the steel.
After meeting a few huge Sea Shellfish, the surviving Sea Shellfish, each of them was huge in size and their defense was astonishing, so Bai Xiaobei directly killed the Sea Shellfish with no restraints. He put the Sea Shellfish's shell into his storage bag and went back to investigate whether there were any good pearls inside.
After searching for half an hour, he was unable to find the required ingredients, but instead, he found the shellfish. Just as Bai Xiaobei was about to leave, he suddenly saw tens of intertwined huge vines.
"What is this?" Bai Xiaobei was curious. One had to know that the gigantic vine looked like a living being, but if it was also a living being, then it was just too big right? Furthermore, these vines had sharp thorns on them.
With the giant sea serpent's existence the last time, Bai Xiaobei became vigilant. He picked up a rock, injected it with the Spirit Energy and directly smashed it over.
The resistance and pressure from the sea surface was too much for the rock to withstand, but under Bai Xiaobei's shocked gaze, the huge vine extended out like a octopus and disappeared in one leap.
"Fuck, is that a octopus?" After arriving at the bottom of the sea, aside from the Giant Big Sea Snake from last time, this was the largest creature, and it left very quickly.
"It's not safe at the bottom of the sea. It's better to go back and watch her. Don't let her run around."
This guy clearly did not have any ill intentions. If he was being brutally entangled, Bai Xiaobei had the confidence of escaping, or even killing him. But if he went out of his way, it would be troublesome.
He quickly swam up. Although the seabed was said to have many treasures, there were no treasures in this area. It seemed like the deeper he went, the more treasures there were. The deeper he went, the more dangerous it would be.
Let's go clean up the sunken ships! Bai Xiaobei muttered in his heart as he swam upwards.
