1304. Jellyfish Trap
What is this thresher shark doing?
I saw it frantically swinging its tail above the canopy of an arctic jellyfish, its slender body writhed vigorously, and then created a stream of water that hit the canopy of the jellyfish, driving it to move slowly.
The jellyfish itself has the ability to move. It squeezes the inner cavity by shrinking the shell, changes the volume of the inner cavity, sprays out the water in the cavity, and moves by means of water jet propulsion. This is somewhat similar to the calamari. It moves by the reaction force of the jet of water.
This is a way for them to swim along the horizontal surface. If they want to sink and float, it depends on a special gland in the body that emits carbon monoxide, which makes the body expand to absorb water and then float.
When they want to sink, they will release carbon monoxide. If they want to float up, they will release carbon dioxide into the air bag again, and they will float again.
Generally speaking, when they choose an environment, they will not move again, but will open their tentacles and wait for food to come to them. They will sink to the bottom of the sea until they encounter predators or encounter a big storm. Or, there is no food in this sea area, so they will move.
However, the Arctic Xia jellyfish is too big to move, so it is not good at swimming, and often has to use wind, waves and currents to move.
Now there are no strong winds and waves, and there is no strong undercurrent, and there is plenty of food around. Naturally, these arctic jellyfish have no motivation to move.
What this thresher shark is trying to create is this kind of power. It rotates its long tail like a boat oar, forming a fairly powerful current in a small area, driving the arctic jellyfish to move in the direction it guides.
The movement of creatures has inertia, and the lower the creature, the greater the inertia.
The arctic jellyfish has no brains and no intelligence. They are very low-level creatures, so when they feel the current driven by thresher sharks, they will automatically swim after drifting along for a while.
This is the case with this arctic jellyfish, which has entered a state of autonomous swimming at this time.
Under the control of muscle fibers extending from the top of the epidermis to the end of the umbrella. Its lumen is constantly shrinking and expanding. As the lumen expands, water is slowly sucked in; then the lumen contracts rapidly, pushing the water out of the cavity, and the thrust generated by the jet of water causes it to move.
However, its body is too large, and this driving force is relatively small. Move very slowly.
The thresher shark was still waiting patiently, and tried its best to help the arctic jellyfish move. Qin Shiou didn't know what it wanted to do, so he just looked at it strangely.
This thresher shark gave him a lot of shocks. This guy seems to have a high IQ. For example, last time it designed a battle between the giant monster and the black-covered giant worm. If it weren't for Qin Shiou's help, the giant monster would probably be killed by now.
In other words, the giant king squid in the sea was almost killed by a thresher shark, which is simply too legendary!
It took more than an hour, and after the arctic jellyfish moved four or five kilometers, the thresher shark left. Then its moving speed slowed down, because it couldn't feel the water flow, so it wouldn't spend its energy to swim blindly.
After the thresher shark left, Qin Shiou also wanted to leave. He thought this thresher shark was just for fun, but when the sea god's consciousness left a certain distance and looked back, he suddenly noticed something strange.
The location of this Arctic jellyfish is very unique. It is in a group of jellyfish, and there are seven or eight large jellyfish up, down, left, and right. After these big jellyfish stay in the water. Covered a sea area.
Qin Shiou looked at it intently, and an idea slowly emerged: this group of Xia jellyfish. It seems to be a trap.
So who was the thresher shark targeting with this trap? Subconsciously, Qin Shiou thought of the giant monster.
really. About ten minutes later, the thresher shark suddenly swam back quickly, and not far behind it, a super monster with a scarlet body was chasing it angrily, and the giant monster appeared!
The thresher shark's big tail was shaking very fast, like a sharp arrow, it rushed to the Arctic Xia jellyfish with lightning speed, and then plunged into it!
There are large gaps between the jellyfish in the Arctic. This trap is not secure, and the thresher shark took advantage of these gaps. It passed through the jellyfish without any harm.
It's really walking among thousands of flowers, not a single leaf sticks to your body! Qin Shiou can only say one thing: I am convinced by Qin Ritian!
The giant monster chased after it angrily. It held a heavy mace in its tentacles, so although it was not slow, it still couldn't catch up with the thresher shark.
Especially this thresher shark is extremely cunning, as soon as the giant monster gets close, it will turn, and the turning happens to be the biggest dead angle in the giant monster's movement.
After rushing into the group of Xia jellyfish, the giant monster instinctively felt dangerous and wanted to stop.
But all marine life has the inertia of movement. The giant monster is too large, and its inertia is particularly large. When it wants to stop, it is already too late, and finally got into the jellyfish.
There is a gap between the Xia jellyfish, and this gap is relatively speaking. It is a gap for the thresher shark, but it is nothing for the huge giant monster.
The two sides fought hand-to-hand, and the jellyfish immediately swung all its tentacles to attack the giant monster.
The giant monster is full of arrogance, fighting and fighting, I am afraid that you will not succeed?
In a word, don't be cowardly and just do it!
The giant monster's two longest tentacles stretched out, stirring up the tentacles of the Arctic Xia jellyfish and tearing them apart. In addition, its steel mace also took advantage of the situation, and directly tore a big hole in the umbrella cover of the Xia jellyfish.
Jellyfish are very vigorous without losing water. They have no brain or heart, and they almost have no cover. Any creature that wants to kill them can only swallow them whole, just like the leatherback turtle.
But this kind of method can only deal with small jellyfish, such as the arctic jellyfish whose tentacles spread tens of meters, even if the real North Sea giant monster came, it would not be able to swallow it in one bite.
If you can't swallow them, you have to fight them.
Qin Shiou already understood the plan of the thresher shark. This guy is simply too clever, or he is too black-bellied, to design such a trap to deal with the giant monster!
This time, it was still just sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. The giant monster was attracted to fight with the Arctic Xia jellyfish. An Arctic Xia jellyfish might not be the opponent of the giant monster, because the giant monster has a very strong resistance to poison.
However, there are seven or eight arctic jellyfish around here...
The giant monster's fighting style is thunderbolt and thunderstorm. After it was entangled by the first arctic jellyfish, it began to float around with it, so it ran into the second jellyfish, and was naturally caught again. wrapped around...
The giant monster continues to roll around, and will continue to entangle other Arctic Xia jellyfish, so that more and more entanglements, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and its situation becomes more and more dangerous.
The thresher shark was wandering in the distance, watching this scene calmly, like a killer, looking for the opponent's weak point, and then sealed his throat with a sword! (to be continued)
