The strongest sea king of pirates

72 - Sea Snake
After eating squid, Xia Qiu and Moo approached the island.

The island is about the same size as Zhumeida Island, but three-quarters of the island is occupied by mountains, and the peaks stand tall like swords.

The lower part of the mountains is covered with green vegetation, but the upper part is bare stones and black spots.

On the south side of the island, there is a town and a sunken coast.

Xia Qiu slowly approached the coast and found the location of the port. As he approached, he smelled a bad smell.

It smells bad.

It's even worse than eating bananas and jujubes together.

What is this stuff?
Momoo had already stopped, but Xia Qiu endured the nausea and swam forward for a certain distance, reaching the port 30 meters away.

There are sea boats parked there, which look strange, like rubber boats, but much bigger.

The left and right sides of the boat are like two huge brown rubbers, and the lower ones are smaller pillars.

The sea boat can accommodate about ten people, has a small house, and has two sails.

Can such a small ship survive the great route?
A ship, not even the size of the Merry.

Moreover, the side of the boat is a bit lower than that of a sailboat, and it is easy to be overturned by waves.

As it got closer, the smell became more pervasive.

Or should not say stink.

It is a small but fine odor molecule, which makes people feel uncomfortable after smelling it.

It's the smell of the boat.

Xia Qiu was sure it was the smell from the boat, which made him very uncomfortable.

Xia Qiu couldn't bear it anymore and moved away from the coast, but the stench still spread in his nostrils.

It seems that the smell of this boat is the way to prevent sea kings or sea fish from approaching.

If you are far away, you can only feel the smell.

But after getting close, there will be a pungent smell, so strong that I can't bear it.

I don't drive on instinct, I have my own wisdom and consciousness, and I can hardly bear it.

It is not to blame for killing the squid. After approaching the island, there are very few marine life around.

Sea creatures with a keen sense of smell may not be able to bear it.

Momoo was tens of meters away from him, and even the faint smell made it difficult for him to stay.

Is it impossible to live here?

Xia Qiu frowned. This should be one of the starting points of the seven air routes. Can't you live here?

Xia Qiu walked around the coast and found that the farther away from the coast, the smell became weaker and weaker.

The smell is decreasing. One is that the density of odor molecules in the water becomes lower and lower with the distance, and the second is that the farther away from the island, the faster the current flows, diluting the smell.

Xia Qiu went around all the way to the back of the island, and the smell was almost inaudible.

The sea breeze, here is behind the mountains, the sea wind is huge, blowing through the cave above the mountains, making a humming sound.

It's not bad here.

Xia Qiu thought, releasing sound waves, and based on the information of the sound waves, it was judged that the depth of the seabed was about 300 meters from here.

This kind of water depth is relatively deep, and it is already considered an ocean cliff and a vertical strait.

This is relatively rare in the East China Sea.

But compared to the depth of the nearby water, it is actually relatively small, enough to inhabit by itself.

However, in the sound waves echoed by the coast, Xia Qiu found that the cliffs below the island were not flat, and some places extended more than ten meters inward.

This is the hole?And more than one?
There are also many caves in the mountains on the island.

Why so many holes?

Not only that, but sound wave information appeared in the surroundings, densely packed, but relatively small.

What creatures live here?

Xia Qiu didn't dare to approach, and waited quietly.

But at this time, the surrounding creatures approached rapidly.

Xia Qiu didn't take it seriously, these creatures were very small, the longest was only a dozen meters, and the smallest was only three or four meters.

Even if it was a group of piranhas or sharks, Xia Qiu wasn't worried.

Their teeth may not all hurt themselves.

Xia Qiu stepped back slowly, and after the creatures approached, she saw their appearance.

snake.

It turned out to be a snake, a sea snake.

Xia Qiu turned around and ran away from the coast in the direction of Momoo.

Clap clap clap.

These sea snakes rushed towards Xia Qiu, took advantage of Xia Qiu's turn, bumped into Xia Qiu's body, and bit Xia Qiu's body.

But with Xia Qiu's scales and the firmness of their fins, their teeth couldn't pierce Xia Qiu's scales and fins at all.

But other parts are different.

Especially in the abdomen, several snakes bit Xia Qiu's arms and legs, and began to bite.

Not only that, but in the cave behind, many snakes appeared.

Huge sea snakes of more than 20 meters, more than 30 meters, and even 40 meters rushed towards this side.

Xia Qiu rushed towards the distance, and fled here in a panic.

There are many snakes and they are very big.

It doesn't matter, because the sea snake's restraint ability is very weak, almost non-existent.The reason for this is that most marine organisms are difficult to restrain. Some fish have slippery scales, some have long shells, and some have strange body structures.The second reason is that sea snakes also use their lungs to breathe. Although they are underwater most of the time, their lungs account for a relatively large proportion, and the largest ones even occupy the entire body.They twist and instead squeeze the air out of the lungs.

This makes it difficult for the sea snake to entangle the enemy. More importantly, in the long evolution, the scales and body structure no longer use entanglement as an attack method.

The scales are further apart, the body is elongated rather than stout, etc.

Therefore, their size and number cannot directly threaten Xia Qiu.

But sea snakes are venomous, even highly venomous.

Sea snakes belong to a subfamily of sea snakes. There are more than 50 species of sea snakes on the earth, and they are generally highly poisonous.

Sea snakes are mostly related to cobras, and the subfamily of sea snakes is also classified under the cobra family.

Sea snakes are generally believed to be the ancestors of cobras who went to the sea and reproduced in the sea.

Of course, the appearance of sea snakes is almost different from the cobras we know, and there is almost no similarity.

Sea snakes are different from aquatic snakes. The former refers to snakes that live in the ocean, while the latter are mostly found in lakes, swamps, rivers, paddy fields, and ponds.

Although both belong to the suborder of Neosnakes, one is Cobra family and the other is Snake family.

Snakes have poison, but they are relatively weak and difficult to kill.

Sea snakes are all poisonous, and very poisonous, because they cannot be restrained as mentioned above, and they can only kill the enemy by poison.

In other words, it is precisely because it is poisonous that it can enter the water to survive and evolve into the current sea snake family.

So Xia Qiu didn't dare to stay here any longer.

run, run.

Xia Qiu rushed towards the distance, the speed was very fast, except for the sea snake he was entangled in, the other sea snakes were pulled behind him.

Boss, you are running again.

I won't fall for it this time.

Seeing Xia Qiu running here, Momoo was afraid that Xia Qiu would use herself as a bait again, so she turned around and ran, keeping a certain distance in front of Xia Qiu.

Xia Qiu contracted his arms and legs, and wrapped around the snake that was biting him. The claws on it pierced into the scales of the sea snake, leaving bloodstains on their bodies.

Xia Qiu ran farther and farther, opened a long distance, and stopped slowly when there were no sea snakes chasing after him.

He loosened his arms and legs, and the sea snakes fell off one by one, there were about six or seven, the shortest was about three meters, and the longest was seven or eight meters.

Under Xia Qiu's claws and contraction force, some of these sea snakes were directly crushed through their lungs, and some were hooked through their bodies. All of them lost their ability to swim and fell slowly.

Seeing the sea snake's whereabouts, Xia Qiu immediately chased after it, bit the sea snake, and swallowed the sea snake into his stomach.

Xia Qiu is not worried about being poisoned by swallowing the venom, because most of the venom is protein, including toxins, mold and non-toxic proteins.

A famous question is, after the snake venom kills the enemy, will it be poisoned if it eats the enemy? This is not true.

However, some venoms can damage the digestive tract and oral mucosa, and may not be completely digestible.

Therefore, it is not recommended for everyone to drink venom.

Of course, the heads of these poisonous snakes were bitten by Xia Qiu and swallowed directly into the stomach, and the venom went directly into the stomach for digestion.

And Xia Qiu's digestion ability is extremely strong, there is almost nothing that cannot be digested.

Xia Qiu ate the poisonous snake and quietly waited for the poisonous snake to digest and the venom to take effect.

The venom of sea snakes is composed of neurotoxins, but most of them are cytotoxins. Unlike cobras, most of the damage is not nerves, but voluntary muscles.

Of course, it is the same as the death effect of nerve poison, which is muscle weakness, respiratory paralysis and death.

The toxicity of sea snake venom is severe, but the onset is slower than that of land snakes, and some even do not feel the effect for three to ten minutes to three hours.

But once the attack occurs, the death is very fast.

Xia Qiu didn't know how poisonous the sea snake was, so he could only wait quietly, but he had already done the best treatment.

Xia Qiu ate sea snakes. One reason is that snakes can be poisoned by their own snakes, but the impact of snake venom on themselves is greatly reduced. For example, when a cobra bites itself, after injecting the toxin, the injuries suffered are many times smaller than those of humans. And of course fatal.

So Xia Qiu ate a few sea snakes, hoping to get this anti-poison effect.

At the same time, if you eat the sea snake, you will get evolutionary energy, which can repair injuries.

And cytotoxins destroy your own muscle cells, and in the case of repair, the onset of the injury will be greatly slowed down.

The venom was only secreted by six or seven sea snakes, which was scarce compared to his huge body.

In addition, Xia Qiu's body has been strengthened several times, so it is very strong and should be able to block the toxin attack.

Under these four conditions, Xia Qiu was very likely to resist the toxin, and even if he was injured, nothing would happen.

With full preparations, Xia Qiu didn't panic, but waited patiently and recorded the toxic attack information.

This is not a bad thing.

Because as long as he can resist the toxin, he can hunt sea snakes, let himself evolve poison sacs, and have fangs.

Xia Qiu is looking forward to it.

. . .

What's wrong, big brother?Why is it not moving?Got bitten?

Momoo in the distance looked at Xia Qiu, approached slowly, and rubbed against him.

Xia Qiu drew his tail on him.

You ran very fast just now.

Momoo was beaten, but he felt relieved. If the elder brother can beat someone, then he doesn't need to worry about it.
