"What? Let Wo Kang Kang~~~"
The little kid was still sticking his butt out looking for a clam hole.
Hearing Li Er's exclamation, he first looked up and looked around in confusion.
After confirming that the sound came from behind the reef, he didn't care about the clam that had just crawled out of the hole, and immediately ran over with his short legs.
They looked just like the crowd rushing to the front line to eat melons.
"Mingda, stay away for now. Many things in the sea are poisonous."
The little girl was very fast, and Zhou Yu was not slow either.
As early as when Li Er screamed, he had already started running towards the reef.
Seeing the little girl's excited face, he immediately hugged her in his arms.
As he said, there are a lot of poisonous things in the sea.
The venom of some things is even comparable to that of a king cobra.
If Li Er accidentally falls into the trap, the Tang Dynasty might be in turmoil.
Carrying the little girl around the reef, Zhou Yu saw Li Er staring at a big rock with curiosity.
The stone is about the size of a millstone and is covered with traces of time.
The thick barnacles are like ancient armor, wrapping it up and making it impossible to see its original appearance.
Just when Zhou Yu was puzzled, the stone actually moved forward a little as if no one was around.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu was suddenly surprised.
What is going on here?
How could a rock move by itself in broad daylight?
Is it a ghost?
"Boy, do you think this thing is a sea turtle?"
Just as Zhou Yu was puzzled, Li Er also noticed the crowd surrounding him.
So he immediately pointed at the slowly moving big rock and asked.
What the hell?
That big rock covered with barnacles is actually a big turtle?
Confused, he immediately came closer with the little kid in his arms.
"Wow, little one, this big rock really is a sea turtle~"
As soon as he got to the front, the little kid started shouting excitedly.
When she was watching small animals on Douyin before, she had also seen what a turtle looked like.
Although this big sea turtle's body is covered with dense barnacles.
But his freely retractable head and the two green bean-sized eyes on it still prove his identity as this big guy.
After confirming that the big rock was a big turtle, Zhou Yu finally let go of his worries.
Although sea turtles are large in size, they generally do not bite.
Besides, his movements were slow, and even if he was aggressive, he wouldn't be very aggressive.
After looking around the big guy again, Zhou Yu was speechless.
I have seen birds parasitized by barnacles, but this is the first time I have seen one that has been parasitized and turned into a bird like this.
The carapace of this big sea turtle is covered with traces of time.
The thick barnacles wrap around its entire body like ancient armor.
Layers of white calcifications are now attached to the shell, whose original color has long been blurred, like annual rings engraved on it by time.
Those barnacles that are firmly attached to the body are like a small mountain, making the already slow-moving turtles even more difficult to move.
Fortunately, the sea turtle's head was still able to move freely, so it was not completely covered by barnacles.
But looking at the current situation.
If no one helps, it will probably not take long before this big turtle is crushed to death on the seabed.
Don’t be fooled by their unattractive appearance, barnacles are the nemesis of all marine life.
Slow-moving animals like turtles are the favorite parasites of barnacles.
Moreover, barnacles are hermaphrodites, and once a barnacle parasitizes you, you will reproduce wildly.
Barnacles secrete a sticky glue to anchor themselves to their attachment points and begin metamorphosis, eventually forming a calcareous shell.
It was precisely because of this that when Zhou Yu first saw the big turtle, he mistook it for a big rock.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you are parasitized by barnacles, you will always live under their shadow.
With the idea that since he had encountered the problem and wanted to help if he could, Zhou Yu directly took out a sharp sand shovel.
Seeing him holding a sand shovel and gesturing next to the big turtle's head, the little kid immediately said anxiously: "Little Nag, the big turtle is already pitiful enough, can you please not care about it?"
"Sizi is right. This big turtle is already pitiful enough, and it's not easy for it to grow this big. Let's let it go!"
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Li Er next to her also echoed him.
Even Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi had pleading looks on their faces.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu's forehead was suddenly filled with black lines.
I was just wondering where to start cleaning the barnacles, but how did it end up having to attack a big sea turtle?
Seeing Li Er trying to grab the sand shovel from his hand, Zhou Yu said angrily, "This thing is a national first-class protected animal. It's even one level higher than the downgraded giant panda!"
"Just because something is protected doesn't necessarily mean it's delicious. Look at how big this thing is. It must have lived for many years. The quality of its meat is probably not that good either."
Upon hearing this, Li Er began to persuade him more earnestly.
Zhou Yu: (─.─||)
When you say that sea turtles are protected animals, do you mean that they are delicious?
You clearly want to express yourself, so you don't want to go in and use the sewing machine, okay?
What is Li Er, this old foodie, thinking about?
"What are you thinking? They say turtles are all spiritual. Even if this thing isn't a protected species, I wouldn't dare eat it, okay?"
