Chapter 132: The Magical Creature with 72 Transformations
The only regret was that they did not bring the curved tongs used for picking up crabs, so the two of them could only squeeze the value of the shovel to the extreme.
Big ear snail, shovel;
Pearl-banded crab guards snails, shovel;
Saw-eyed mud crab, shovel!
All of a sudden, all kinds of small animals were blown up by the shovel, and the ground was covered with flying sand and rocks.
It seems that there is nothing in the entire Moss Spring Island that cannot be solved with a shovel.
It is indeed a bit simple and crude, and this method is not very polite to the small animals, but the important thing is that it is efficient!
It didn't take much time before all the snails and crabs were collected into the snakeskin bags.
As for the similar snails and crabs in the farther places, they were ignored. After all, the most important task was to help Jiang Wenang catch abalone.
There is nothing on the entire island that is more valuable than abalone at twenty yuan per pound.
After all the snails and crabs were collected, the two men calmed down and began to squat down and look for abalone under the rocks.
It must be said that Liang Ziqiang's idea was right. The abalones crawling on the stones were not as gray as those on the mud. The color difference between them and the stones was relatively obvious, so it was easier to find them. It was no longer so tiring for the eyes.
Moreover, the density of abalone near the stone was not low. The two of them caught a few with their hands, and in the blink of an eye, they caught a few more.
They searched one pile of stones after another, and the contents of the two buckets became fuller and fuller, and soon they were half full.
It's not easy to fill half a bucket with such a small thing! After all, it is much smaller than the real abalone.
The body length of the native abalone is generally only about 6 cm, small and light, because it does not have a shell like the real abalone. In fact, this thing had a shell at the beginning, but in the long evolution, the shell was discarded as a burden.
The shell is gone, but the eyes are multiplied. The densely packed tumor-like protrusions on their backs actually hide countless black dorsal eyes, which are used to sense light and avoid strong light immediately.
In the distance, Jiang Wenang was worried when he first saw the two men not doing their job properly, using shovels to dig up snails and crabs. But now that he saw that they had picked up a lot of abalone, he finally felt relieved.
Since he couldn't catch any abalone anyway, he decided not to waste his time and went to the clean water on the beach to wash his hands and clean off the sticky wet mud.
Liang Ziqiang was catching abalone when he suddenly heard a scream of extreme fear, which instantly broke the tranquility of the entire island.
Recognizing that the voice was that of Jiang Wen'ang, the two were so startled that they put the bucket aside and stood up suddenly.
Jiang Wenang sat down on the ground beside the shallow water, his face distorted with fear, and his hand was pointing at something in the shallow water.
Liang Ziqiang, Lin Baixian, and Lu Feng on the shore all ran towards Jiang Wenang. Liang Ziqiang even brought the shovel with him.
As they ran, the three of them all asked what was going on.
"Snake! I was bitten by a poisonous snake... not just once!"
Jiang Wen'ang's face had turned pale, and his speech became halting, with no trace of his elegant demeanor left.
Liang Ziqiang's heart skipped a beat, and as he ran closer, he saw a snake swimming in the shallow water. The snake's body was black in one section and white in another, and the black and white were linked together, which made his brain explode.
Sea snakes are different from moray eels. Most sea snakes are already extremely venomous. This type of sea snake with black and white rings is even more venomous!
Who could have expected that Jiang Wenang would be bitten by such a venomous sea snake just when he ran to the beach to wash his hands? "Where was it bitten?" Liang Ziqiang asked quickly.
"The back of the hand, it looks like it was bitten twice in a row!" Jiang Wenang held up his right hand and showed them the back of his hand.
Liang Ziqiang took a quick look and found a few red spots, which seemed to be a little blood.
He quickly raised the shovel and chased after the sea snake. It was not because he thought Jiang Wenang was dead and wanted to help him chop the snake to comfort his grave.
He thought that as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would always try to survive. If he still had time to sail back to the county or city hospital for rescue, then killing the snake and bringing it to the doctor would be a very important step.
Different snakes have different toxin types, and if the hospital can't figure out what type of toxin it is, it will be difficult to treat it. Bringing the snake directly to the doctor is crucial to the doctor's diagnosis.
Fortunately, the black and white sea snake did not swim directly to the deep, but swam towards another pile of reefs. In this way, Liang Ziqiang was not completely hopeless to catch up with it and kill it with a shovel.
He was trying to chase the sea snake. Behind him, Jiang Wenang was not only pale, but also seemed to be breathing heavily. He tightly grasped Lu Feng's arm, tears came out:
"Lu Feng, I am not afraid of death, I am really not afraid of death!"
He trembled all over and claimed that he was not afraid of death, which confused Lin Baixian who was standing next to him.
Jiang Wenang choked up and continued:
"The only thing I can't accept is that I just built up my business a bit over the past few years, and now it's all gone!"
Damn, what’s the difference between this and being afraid of death?
Lu Feng comforted her repeatedly: "It's okay, Aqiang will be able to kill the snake soon, and we will rush to the hospital right away. As long as the boat goes faster, we will definitely make it in time. You are lucky and you will definitely be rescued!"
Jiang Wen'ang shook his head miserably:
"Sea snakes are extremely poisonous. My business is somewhat related to the ocean, so I know that!"
He wiped his tears, his voice became even sadder:
"Don't say words of comfort. Time is precious. I'd better hurry up and take care of the funeral with you! Um... my wife has been with me all the way. We can be considered a couple in adversity. Please tell her to take good care of our daughter and herself. Especially remind her that the biggest debts I owe outside are from Li Laoguai, Wang Daquan, and Sun Hongbing. The three of them borrowed a lot of money from me to do business. It's a lot..."
Lu Feng's nose was sore after hearing this, and he couldn't hold back any more. Tears started to flow, and he stammered, "Brother Jiang, you'll be fine! Don't tell me this anymore. Sit still. I'll go find a rope to tie your wrists..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Baixian ran back to the boat to find a rope.
On the other side, Liang Ziqiang chased for a while and got closer and closer to the black and white sea snake. He found that the snake looked a bit strange, as if it had two parts, swinging from side to side.
Could it be that there were actually two snakes? No wonder Jiang Wenang said he was bitten twice.
As the snake swam to the edge of the reef, Liang Ziqiang saw the black and white stripes suddenly change color in the blink of an eye, and the black turned into gray-brown.
Liang Ziqiang looked again, but there was no snake shadow. Instead, a coral-like reef suddenly appeared out of nowhere next to the pile of rocks!
He was sure that this small reef did not exist a dozen seconds ago, but appeared instantly as he kept running closer!
Damn it!
His mind suddenly jumped, and he thought of a possibility...
He tentatively approached the new reef, which couldn't help but shake.
Liang Ziqiang's conjecture seemed to be confirmed. Without hesitation, he immediately approached with a shovel and scooped up the "coral reef"...
At this time, on the other side, Lu Feng had already taken the rope from Lin Baixian and was ready to tie Jiang Wenang's wrists tightly.
She looked at the red spots on the back of his hand again and frowned:
"That's not right, Brother Jiang. The red spot on your face doesn't bleed very much. Shouldn't the wound from a snake bite be deeper than this?!"
"Ah? There's not much blood? But it did bite me twice just now!" Jiang Wenang wiped his tears and carefully studied the "injury" on the back of his hand.
"Don't look at it, you won't die! I caught the sea snake you wanted!"
Then Liang Ziqiang came over holding a shovel.
"Where's the snake? Why did you bring a coral reef here?" Lu Feng and Lin Baixian asked with confusion on their faces.
"Where did the snake come from? There are neither snakes nor coral reefs here. What bit you was an octopus. Don't worry, it's a non-venomous octopus! I caught it, and you will know after studying it carefully!"
Liang Ziqiang placed the "coral reef" on the shovel next to a large round rock. Within a few seconds, the "coral reef" quickly deformed and changed color. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a similarly round stone, almost merging with the large rock next to it, making it impossible to tell the real thing from the fake!
"Fuck, you call this an octopus? It's the octopus that Monkey King turned into, right? Which corner looks like an octopus?" Lin Baixian was already dumbfounded.
"Mimic octopus! It can transform into a black and white krait, a stone, or a coral. It's all a piece of cake for it. It can just blink!"
In fact, if Liang Ziqiang had not seen it with his own eyes today, he would not have thought that the "mimic octopus" that frequently appeared on the screen and became famous in later generations would be more magical and shocking than the legend!
