Chapter 133 The Blue-mouthed Bride Fish that Delivers Money to the Door
Jiang Wenang still couldn't believe that the black-and-white sea snake that had bitten him twice could actually be such a thing in front of him.
Including Lu Feng and Lin Baixian who were standing by, it took them a long time to recover from their shock, and they still had a look of disbelief on their faces.
Lu Feng was holding a rope and was in a state of hesitation:
"Should I still tie my wrist?"
Jiang Wen'ang nodded his head vigorously: "Tie him up! I think we should tie him up! The sea snake that bit me must have run away. The thing that Ah Qiang caught can't be that sea snake!"
Liang Ziqiang picked up his injured right hand and took a look. Previously, because he was in a hurry to chase the black-and-white sea snake, he only glanced at the back of Jiang Wenang's hand from a distance, and could not see it clearly. He just felt that the back of his hand was indeed injured, and the snake was right in front of him, so he must have done something wrong.
Now look carefully, who has ever seen a poisonous snake bite without even a tooth mark?
Fortunately, Jiang Wenang was still crying, it turns out he is also a funny guy...
He affirmed:
"There's really no need to tie it up! You were injured by the octopus's sucker, not by a bite!"
When the octopus's suction cup sticks to the skin, it exerts a greater suction force on the skin, causing redness, swelling, burning pain, and even cracking and bleeding.
Jiang Wenang's case was not too serious, he bled a little, but not much. If the bleeding lasted longer, it would be a different situation.
Jiang Wen'ang was half-believing and half-doubting when he heard him say this, and became even more conflicted.
At this moment, Lin Baixian started to get nervous. He picked up a branch and curiously poked the disguised smooth "stone".
The mimic octopus had been shoveled here and there, and now it was poked by a branch. It must have run out of tricks to do, and after a bit of anxiety, it pulled out its best trick from its skill library again - transforming into a sea snake.
I saw that its lower half still retained the color and shape of stone, and six of the eight tentacles were coiled up tightly around its body, becoming part of the "stone".
The remaining two tentacles suddenly changed color, turning into black and white rings, and rose high into the air.
One tentacle is disguised as the snake's head and the front half of its body, while the other tentacle is disguised as the back half of its body and its tail. The front and back are seamlessly connected together, and it looks like a black and white ringed sea snake with a head and a tail twisting on a smooth "stone"!
Even though we know that it was transformed from an octopus in an instant, the shocking appearance still makes people feel cold.
Lin Baixian let out a loud "Fuck!" and the branches fell to the ground, and he took two steps back uncontrollably.
Seeing Lin Baixian's cowardly look, Liang Ziqiang also understood Jiang Wenang's fear. It seemed that no one could stay calm...
The mimic octopus' favorite imitations are sea snakes and lionfish. It also knows that sea snakes are more intimidating. Every time it transforms into a sea snake, it not only successfully scares away natural enemies in the ocean, but also makes fishermen stay away from it.
The existence of this octopus has been ignored by people because its camouflage is so amazing. Fishermen who encounter it either mistake it for a real sea snake or think it is a reef, and the truth has never been revealed.
It was not until 1998 that researchers discovered its secret. Since then, this magical species of "mimic octopus" has entered the public eye and gradually became famous. Liang Ziqiang's favorite ocean channel has reported on this many times.
The mimic octopus's transformation skills are absolutely master-level. Chameleons only change colors quickly, but mimic octopuses can not only instantly combine various colors and ring patterns on the surface of their skin, but also change their body shape and appearance texture, easily killing chameleons in terms of realm.
The amazing color-changing effect is because there are more than 96,000 pigment cells under the skin of the mimic octopus. Through the deformation of the cellular elastic capsule on the surface of the skin, the pigment cells of different colors are wrapped inside, and the depth of color is adjusted by changes in shape and size.
The change in texture is due to the fact that the mimic octopus can accurately control the tiny bumps on the surface of its skin, instantly turning the originally smooth surface into an uneven surface like coral or reef, and the graininess can be so precise that it is difficult to tell the real from the fake.
In fact, apart from the "mimic octopus"'s extreme "intelligence", the IQ of the entire octopus family is a mystery.
They have nine brains, one in the head and the other eight in the eight tentacles; apart from humans, octopuses are the only species that can edit their own genes; octopuses' eyes can see four-dimensional space that humans cannot understand...
Many people in later generations even believed that octopuses were not native life on Earth, but alien species brought by comets in the distant Cambrian period...
At this moment, Jiang Wenang stared with his eyes wide open, watching the octopus perform 72 transformations live, his eyeballs almost popping out.
Looking at the wound on the back of his hand again, he finally believed that it was not a sea snake that bit him! He coughed twice and regained his composure: "That... Lu Feng, Wang Daquan and Sun Hongbing don't owe me much money. You don't have to tell my wife yet. I will take care of it myself."
Lu Feng: “…”
Lin Baixian also looked relieved at this moment:
"I was so scared! I thought I had worked so hard to pick up half a bucket of abalone, but now I was going to lose the buyer. I just wanted to ask Brother Feng if I could contact your father directly..."
Jiang Wen'ang rolled his eyes and almost fainted again because of his anger.
No one wants to care about that mimic seal. After all, it doesn't sell for much money, and if you cook it yourself, the taste may not be good...
Not everyone can eat this. You don't know if it will turn into a pile of rice at any time to disgust you!
The key is that Liang Ziqiang and the other two don't have the time to spare. The buyer is still alive, so they must continue to look for the abalone!
Almost everyone had collected half a bucket, so Jiang Wen'ang was called over to take a look. Jiang Wen'ang thought that was enough. After all, his father was going to use it to make soup as medicine every day, not as a meal.
Liang Ziqiang picked up the bucket and prepared to finish his work. He walked forward along the reef when suddenly a ray of color floated in the corner of his eye.
At the moment of catching a glimpse of light, he quickly turned his head to look at the sea.
Between the three intersecting reefs, it was as if a few petals of bright yellow flowers suddenly floated out. The light blue of the sea and the bright yellow spots reflected each other, making the quiet island suddenly appear bright.
Liang Ziqiang's eyes were amazed for a moment, and the only words that popped out of his mind for a moment were: Damn, she's so beautiful! But before he could say this, Lin Baixian on the side had already blurted out:
"Oh shit, what a damn fish, it's so pretty!"
Liang Ziqiang looked carefully and saw that the fish had an oval body and a bright yellow body, except for a black line on its forehead like an eyebrow. What was even more unique was that its lips were a particularly conspicuous shade of blue! "Blue-mouthed bride fish?" Liang Ziqiang didn't say anything, but a name flashed through his mind quickly.
He reacted, put the bucket aside, and ran towards the boat.
He was going to get the net! Although we didn't bring a complete set of fishing tools on board today, we still had two fishing nets.
In fact, he himself couldn't quite explain why he cast a net to catch this kind of fish.
This fish may look good but it may not be delicious. If it is sold to Zheng Liu, it will definitely be sold at a shitty price.
As for Yuehai Restaurant, they pay a high price for delicious fish, but not for pretty fish...
In other words, even if the fish is in your hands, it won't bring you any money.
Some wealthy people in the society would definitely be very interested in this fish. After all, in recent years, raising flowers, birds and pleasing fish has become popular among the wealthy class in the city. As for many neighboring countries, there are even more people who like this fish. But where can Liang Ziqiang find a channel?
He felt that it was a rare opportunity. He would catch a few and bring them back to his wife and lychees to keep in the water. When the new house is built, he would bring them to the new house. It should add a lot of color to the home! He had just run a few steps when he didn't expect that someone was more anxious than him.
Behind him, Jiang Wenang shouted at his back:
"Hurry, hurry up! I want as many blue-mouthed bride fish as you can catch. I'll give you five dollars for each one!"
Huh? Liang Ziqiang was surprised.
Jiang Wenang obviously didn't know much about marine life, so how come he could accurately name the "blue-mouthed bride fish"? And he even said he would take as many as he could catch?
He didn't have time to think about it, so he jumped onto the boat and grabbed the fishing net...
On the morning of the 25th, I will take some time to collect and select pictures of the blue-mouthed bride fish and post them in the end-of-chapter comments of the latest chapter at noon on the 25th.
I would like to thank all the book lovers for their recommendations, monthly tickets, and rewards.
