The king of the ocean!

Both Pan Du and Lun looked at the group of majestic red lights very seriously, trying to see clearly what these deep-sea monsters were.

But these red lights are so dazzling that things wrapped in red light cannot be seen at all, even though they are getting closer.

Pan Du couldn't describe what an intense red light it was. It looked as hot as fire, as viscous as blood, as magma gushing out, and as the sun that couldn't be seen directly.

The red light seems to be one of the sharp weapons of these giant beasts, trying to prevent all sea creatures from looking directly at them.

Pan Du: Is this the legendary, blinding your titanium alloy dog ​​eyes? !

To be honest, with the intensity of the light, real titanium alloy eyes can't stand it.

Even though he was a marine biologist in his previous life and a killer whale in this life, and often went to the deep sea with his blue whale "father", Pan still felt that the deep sea was too mysterious and nothing was impossible.

In the 21st century, human science and technology have been so developed, and no country dares to say how much it knows about the deep sea.In fact, humans do not know as much about the deep sea as Mars.

Therefore, even if he saw any incredible monsters in the deep sea, any creatures he had never seen before, Pan felt reasonable.

The deep sea is as mysterious as outer space. It is very sci-fi, but also has elements of magic, splendor and horror.

Such a high-intensity red light is infinitely close to the intensity of the sun. Many times, things that cannot be produced by human high-tech can naturally appear on various animals. What a miracle this is.

Lun, as the giant of the ocean and the king of blue whales, of course he would not be afraid of any marine life, just because he couldn't see these things clearly, so he couldn't judge their strength.

For the absolute safety of Pan Du, he immediately used his double fins to protect Pan Du in his arms.

Soon this group of extremely dazzling red light swam to their side, Lun covered Pandu's eyes with his giant fins, he was afraid that the red light would be too dazzling and hurt Pandu's eyes.

Even though the distance was so close, Lun resisted the pain of being stabbed in the eyes, but he didn't see clearly what these things were.

Suddenly, there were loud noises and the dazzling red light gradually weakened.

Lun immediately removed the giant fins covering Pandu's eyes. He knew that Pandu liked to watch these the most. As long as there was no harm to his body, he was willing to take Pandu to see them.

Pan Du's eyes widened, he couldn't describe how incredible everything in front of him was.

The loud bang bang is still going on, and with each bang, the glare of the red light becomes less dazzling, like a giant light show with "voice-controlled" brightness.

Gradually, the brightness of the red light became less dazzling, and Pan Du finally saw clearly that these were actually the blood-red king squid group.

In the end, the brightness of the red light was maintained at a very natural level of fire, as if the entire sea area was surrounded by raging flames. These king squids were like giant beasts in the fire, and they were so magnificent that it was unbelievable.

Pan Du had never seen so many king squid gathered together, and each one was so huge, unbelievably large.

The king squid lives in the deep sea, and its whereabouts are secretive, so it is rarely observed by humans, but in fact the number of king squid is likely to exceed [-] million.

Because the king squid can rarely be observed, until the 21st century, human beings knew little about this giant deep-sea beast. Whether they lived alone or in groups, how to reproduce, etc., they had no way of knowing.

Pan Du was a marine biologist in his previous life. Although he did not study squids, his basic knowledge of marine life told him that the gathering of so many giant squids could only be due to reproduction.

This immediately aroused his strong interest. He really wanted to know how this mysterious deep-sea monster reproduced. This has always been a blind spot in marine biology.

The largest king squid observed by humans is 40 meters long and weighs about 10 tons. Because the body density is not high, the body looks very large under the same weight, like a small battleship.

It has also been reported that there are giant squids with a length of 80-100 meters and a weight of about 30 tons on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

Pan couldn't accurately estimate how big the king squid here is. Visually, each king squid is more than 40 meters long, and the largest may be 80-100 meters long, or even larger. Each one is like a small island.

These king squids are intertwined, and many tentacles are not fully opened, so it is difficult to visually observe the most realistic data.

Even though these king squids were so huge, Lun didn't take them seriously.

Even if the weight of these king squid is more than 30 tons, there is still a big gap in front of the 200-ton blue whale.

It's just because the body density of the king squid is small and the tentacles are very long. Some of them look bigger than blue whales. In fact, the heaviest tonnage can hardly exceed 40 tons.

Looking at these giant squids, Pan Du suddenly felt that the "North Sea giant monster" with a body as large as a small island in Norse mythology was probably not fabricated, and that such terrifying king squids might have really existed in history.

The better the marine ecology, the larger the size of various marine creatures, especially these deep-sea giants, they can grow to infinity.

Lun stopped at the side, so close to the group of king squids that even Pan could clearly see the tiny luminous spots on the king squids.

Pan Du was unable to visually determine how many king squids there were. In short, the entire sea area was occupied by these king squids, and there was no end in sight.

He felt that all the king squids in the entire East China Sea should have gathered here for collective reproduction.

Pan Du whispered to Lun, "They are so big, Lun, I have never seen so many king squids of this size."

Lun: "Yes."

Not only Pan has never seen it, but Lun, who often goes to the deep sea for food, has never seen it either.

The whereabouts of the king squid are very secretive, and they mainly live below 2000 meters under the sea. Even the depth of the blue whale foraging will not exceed 1000 meters under the sea.

Suddenly, all the king squid dispersed to both sides, giving way to a road in the middle.

A huge king squid, so big that even Pan couldn't even imagine it, swam across this avenue, getting closer and closer.

Pan knew that this must be the leader of all the king squids in the East China Sea, the king of king squids!

Where this King Squid swims, all the King Squids on both sides will immediately adjust the brightness of their bodies to the maximum, and after the King Squid swims, they will turn down the brightness again.

Pan Du: Damn, what a domineering way of appearing on the stage, this squid king is too ostentatious!

This is the real "walking the red carpet", a red carpet that can blind the eyes of titanium alloy dogs.

As the king squid got closer, Pan recognized it. It was the king squid he had met in Antarctica before, Baron!

Pan Du was very sure that this was Baron, and he would never admit his mistake.

This time, he finally saw the complete Baron. The last time he was in the Antarctic, because he was too nervous and scared, and most of Baron's body was hidden under the ice, he didn't dare to take a closer look.

The complete Baron was much, much larger than he had expected. It was impossible to describe how big it was, and it was as powerful as the visual shock of the mythical "North Sea Giant Monster".

Pan Du opened his mouth wide in shock, unable to utter a single swear word.

Baron stopped not far from Pandu and Lun. This is also the distribution area of ​​the "head force" of the King Squid of the East China Sea. The King Squid here is generally very large in size, much larger than those in other locations.

Pan Du thought to himself: Baron, you are too ostentatious, you are really a "spectacular person", um no, a "spectacular king"!

Suddenly, Baron raised countless gigantic tentacles and slapped the sea water fiercely, making a loud crackling sound.

This is the "order" that the leader is qualified to issue, and the official start of collective reproduction.

Then Pan Du saw an extremely shocking scene that he would never forget in his life, and his psychological quality was slightly worse, to the extent that he would definitely leave a lifetime of psychological shadows!

I saw that all the giant squids entangled their huge tentacles together, and some even entangled too tightly, and the one that was not big enough would be strangled to death.

They whipped each other with the pointed ends of their tentacles, making very crisp and pleasant sounds.

Sometimes several giant squids entangled one, and after holding him firmly, countless tentacles spread all over his body, carrying out unimaginable savage plundering, and the visual effect was extremely shocking.

……

Pan Du saw that Baron didn't participate in it. He was patrolling all the king squids, as if he was looking for someone he liked, and it was more like patrolling his "people" from above.

He is arrogant, he is arrogant, he is proud of everything, he seems to despise any big squid here.

The scariest thing is after entering the official stage.

The male king squid uses its beak-like mouth and sharp claws to bite and dig many holes in the female king squid, and then transports them to the female's wound with four pairs of stem-like arms.

Pan couldn't imagine how painful it would be to dig and bite a hole, and to sprinkle "things" on the wound.

Most squids reproduce in this way, and the most typical one is calamari.

As a marine biologist, Pan Du certainly knew that the squid's method was terrifying, but he never expected that the king squid, as the king of squid, would still use such a method!

Humans have never observed the reproduction of king squid. In fact, no matter how many times humans use high-tech equipment to dive into the deep sea, there are very few cases of taking pictures of king squid, even if there are more than [-] million king squid in the sea.

Any other small squid would look scary in this way, let alone something as huge as a king squid.

Pan Du boasted that his mentality was superb, and he vaguely felt that many holes had been dug out of his body, and the visual impact was too great.

A female king squid can lay more than [-] eggs at a time, which look like plump and round rice magnified several times.

Countless eggs are laid on the seabed plain, and thousands of eggs gather together like a large white flower in full bloom, spreading across the entire sea area, and it looks like a sea of ​​flowers at a glance.

Below is a sea of ​​white flowers, and above is a sea of ​​burning flames. Many huge "fire seeds" swim to the seabed plain to sow huge white flowers.

Pan Du sighed: "Lun, it's so beautiful, it's too beautiful!"

Lun: "Yes."

Pan Du probably guessed why these giant squids came here to reproduce collectively.

In previous years, they were all in the deep sea below 2000 meters, so even if they were well-informed, they had never seen such a grand occasion.

Pan knew that it should be because: more than ten days ago, the submarine volcano erupted, and many volcanic ash deposits would continue to fall to the deep sea area where the king squid lives all year round.

Adult king squid can adapt to the living environment with volcanic ash deposits, but it is very unfavorable for the hatching of eggs, which will greatly reduce the success rate of egg hatching. They have to swim here to mate and lay eggs.

Guessing that the time was almost up, Lun swam back to the surface with Pandu. Pandu was still a cub, and the time for each breath was shorter than that of an adult whale. Every time he dived into the deep sea, Lun always accurately grasped the time.

As long as he was with Lun, Pan didn't need to worry about anything. Lun always took good care of him. He could be a carefree cub.

Only then did Pan Du think of the most important thing, and he quickly said, "Lun, the leader of the group of giant squids just now is the giant squid who saved me, called Baron."

Looking at the deep sea, Lun said thoughtfully, "Although he saved you, he frightened you. Isn't he in the Antarctic? Why did he come to the East China Sea?"

Pan Du also felt a little strange. Although the king squids are distributed in the deep sea area of ​​the whole ocean and are not limited to a certain sea area, generally speaking, they live in a certain sea area and do not need to migrate, nor will they easily travel to other areas. to the sea area.

Pan Du: "Maybe it's because Baron is too powerful. He thinks that the Antarctic waters are no longer interesting, so he swims to the East China Sea, just like you used to go to the whole ocean to play."

This is the most reasonable explanation that Pandu can think of at present.

Lun didn't say anything anymore, but he had already made up his mind that he must observe Baron closely. Once he found out that Baron had any intentions against Pan, he would immediately kill Baron.

Pan Du: "We're just looking at the king squid. We haven't seen the volcano yet. We need to find the king fish quickly and let him take us there."

Lun took Pan Du into the deep sea again, purposely bypassing the sea area where the king squid multiplied collectively, and they quickly found the king fish.

The King Fish is in a fight with another male and looks like he's almost winning.

Of course they won't help, this is a duel between two fishes, the new male fish is challenging the old fish king's status, if they help, the old fish king won't be honorable and won't be recognized.

What's more, as whales, if they fight these fish, they will bully the fish too much, just like a cannon hitting mosquitoes, it is completely unnecessary.

Golden wrasses are especially fun to fight with, as the fatter their heads the more intimidating their opponents.

They will open their mouths wide to frighten each other, as if they are exhaling, oppressing from the momentum, but it looks like they want to suffocate each other to death with bad breath.

The old fish king was very powerful, and he scared away the young fish who was trying to usurp the throne in no time.

Pan Du swam over and said, "Fish King, you have won again. You have been the Fish King for many times."

Fish King: "Of course, I'm amazing, Pandu, those big squids are specialized in eating fish, and we fish are afraid of them."

Although many whales are more powerful than king squid, generally speaking, deep-sea marine life is not afraid of whales, because most of them are not the prey of whales.

Pan Du: "It's okay, we will protect you and will not let you get hurt. You take us to see various volcanoes, and we will escort you back safely."

Fish King: "Well, no fish has ever had the opportunity to walk with a whale. It is my honor to lead the way for you. I must be the most powerful fish king ever, the unique fish king."

Pan Du: "Of course."

The fish king proudly took Pandu and Lun to various volcanoes, but of course they avoided the sea area where the king squid collectively multiplied.

There are no volcanoes in that sea area, so the king squid will choose to lay eggs there.

Under the leadership of the old fish king, they quickly became familiar with the distribution of all the volcanoes in the entire East China Sea.

This time, Pan Du only needs to know the sea areas where the volcanoes are concentrated and their distribution. Detailed observations will take several days to complete.

Pan Du explained the situation to Dai Li, and explained in detail that if submarine volcanoes erupted intensively, it would be due to intense plate movement. Even though the ocean is much safer than the land and offshore, marine life may suffer great harm.

Dai Li couldn't understand this, but she always knew that Pandu was different from ordinary killer whale cubs, Pandu was different from all whales, and she believed in Pandu unconditionally at any time.

Although what Pan Du said is too outrageous in Dai Li's opinion, as long as Pan Du is happy, as long as what Pan Du does will not hurt herself, Dai Li will support him in doing anything.

For the next few days, Pan Du asked Lun to take him to the deep sea to observe various volcanoes.

Even though he needs to spend most of his time observing the volcano every day and return to the blue whale group in the evening, Lun still insists on letting Pandu practice shark hunting, and he can't relax even a day.

Although Pan Du always loses his temper, he will eventually accept the reality under Lun's strong suppression.

It took them eight or nine days to basically observe all the volcanoes in the East China Sea, leaving only the largest group of volcanoes, located on the mid-ocean ridge.

Everyone knows that more than three-quarters of the earth's volcanic eruptions occur in the deep sea, and these volcanoes are basically concentrated on the mid-ocean ridges.

Although this is not the earth, it is very similar to the earth, and it can be inferred based on the common sense of the earth.

Lun took Pan Du to stay far away to observe. It is absolutely safe here.

Even at such a distance, you can still see the "red light" of the crater, and the hot magma surges fiercely, like a purgatory on the seabed.

In the fixed thinking of many people, the seabed is full of water, so how can there be magma? In fact, the temperature of the crater is too high, even if the deep sea water is extremely cold, it still cannot extinguish the magma.

In the deep sea, there really is a "submarine purgatory", where hot and fiery magma surges all year round, and it will never die.

Not only are there churning magma, hot gas and scalding water spewing from volcanic fissures, these jets of material form huge chimneys, also known as hydrothermal vents.

The temperature of the hot springs on the seabed is extremely high when they first come out, and it drops when they encounter the cold sea water. Some hot springs on the seabed can reach a height of tens of meters. There are many organisms in them, all living by eating bacteria.

For example, there is a large number of small white shrimps. They have to rush into the hot springs with extremely high temperature to look for food. Some will be scalded to death, while others can survive. They have developed a strong adaptability , can survive at high temperature.

Pan Du heard "rumbling" noises under these volcanoes.

There are abnormal noises from the volcanoes, which is normal at first, but Pandu heard very high-frequency and hard-to-detect sounds mixed in, which means that there may be a second large-scale volcanic eruption here in the next five days.

Originally, volcanic eruptions often occurred in mid-ocean ridges, which did not explain anything.

After observing all the volcanoes in the East China Sea, Pan Du did not find any trace of "plate movement", so he no longer worried.

Lun took Pandu upstream to the sea, and soon they could no longer see the volcanoes and entered complete darkness, which moved them very strangely.

Even in the deep sea, light cannot reach, and there are many luminous deep-sea marine life, it is impossible to see nothing in the dark.

Lun immediately hugged Pandu tightly with his fins. In a completely dark environment, the cub is extremely easy to get lost. He was afraid that Pandu would be lost, so he had to hug him to be at ease.

Of course, Pan Du was a little scared. He had been to the deep sea countless times, and this was the first time he encountered complete darkness. After being hugged by Lun, he was not afraid at all.

No light could be seen in all directions, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, as if wandering in nothingness and darkness.

Pan Du thought to himself: Well, the Nether District really deserves its reputation.

Lun has entered a state of full preparation, and there are no glowing sea creatures around, which proves that there must be particularly terrible predators here, scaring away all sea creatures in this sea area.

Pan Du felt that he had been swimming for a long time, but there was still no light at all. He couldn't imagine how powerful a giant deep sea monster would be to scare away all the marine life in such a vast sea area.

Suddenly, two rows of extremely strong red lights appeared in front of them, as if specially guiding them.

This time, both Pan Du and Lun knew that the two rows of bright lights were king squids, even though they couldn't see clearly what was in the red light.

Lun didn't need them to lead the way. Even in the total darkness, his swimming speed would only slow down, and he wouldn't lose his way. He would definitely be able to swim back to the sea in time.

But with these two rows of King Squid lighting, Lun can swim faster with Pandu without worrying about bumping into obstacles such as seamounts.

They quickly swam to the "twilight area" where the light could reach, and the two rows of giant squids that led the way for them swam back to the deep sea area.

But Lun swam back with Pan Du and followed the group of king squids.

Suddenly, a group of king squids swam up from the deep sea, and they surrounded the huge squid king Baron.

Pan Du was stunned, and Baron swam up as if held up by a raging fire. It was even more domineering and magical than the appearance of the mythical "Northern Sea Giant Monster"!

After swimming close, Pan Du saw that this group of king squids was carrying a dead giant king squid. The size of this dead king squid was at least three times larger than that of ordinary king squids, comparable to Baron's. .

Pan Du had already guessed that the dead king squid must be the original squid king of the East China Sea. Baron had already dominated the deep sea area of ​​the East China Sea, so he must die as the king of the deep sea.

Baron stopped not far from Pan, with a group of king squid behind him like his "guard of honor".

Pan Du: Baron, you really deserve to be the "King of Scenes". Do you have to be so ostentatious every time you appear on stage? !

Baron said domineeringly: "Today is because I tortured and killed this giant squid and scared away all the deep-sea creatures in this sea area. I am afraid that Lun will lose his way in the total darkness, so I let them escort you to swim here."

Lun snorted coldly and said, "Blue whales will not lose their way anywhere in the ocean."

Baron: "I know, but I won't allow Pandu to have any surprises."

Lun: "What is your purpose in getting close to Pandu?"

Baron: "I'm just curious about what Pandu's human body will look like when he grows up, without any other purpose."

Of course Lun knew that Pan Du's current human body was already an adult, but he would not tell Baron.

Pan Du: "Balon, thank you for lighting us up. For the next five days, don't go hunting in the mid-ocean ridge."

Baron asked very puzzled: "Why? There are a lot of fish we like to eat."

Pandu: "There will be a large volcanic eruption in the next few days."

Baron: "Undersea volcanic eruptions are normal. There are volcanic eruptions every day, and they will not have any impact on our adult king squid."

Pan Du: "The volcanic eruption this time is more violent than it was more than ten days ago. I just remind you that it is up to you to decide whether to eat there or not."

Only then did Baron say, "Okay."

Pan Du: "You saved me last time, it's my reward."

Baron: "I told you, you don't need to repay."

Pan Du: "Anyway, we're even, so don't approach me again."

Lun said very strongly: "Don't get close to Pandu, or I will let you know that the king squid is a big jellyfish that is vulnerable to the blue whale!"

Baron: "Hehe, try it in the deep sea, and I will let you know that the blue whale is a useless blind man."

Lun: "Go away!"

Baron dismissively led the group of king squids into the deep sea.

Lun took Pan Du back to the surface of the sea.

Pan Du rubbed against Lun and said, "You were so domineering just now. Although Baron saved me, I still don't like him."

Lun: "If it wasn't for the fact that he saved you once, I would have killed him a long time ago."

Pan Du: "He didn't hurt me, so there's no need to kill him."

Lun: "Well, not for now."

Afterwards, Lun sent Pan Du back to the Boss family.

No longer needing to dive into the deep sea to observe the volcano, Pandu stayed with the Posei family for many days.

At noon that day, the Posey family was hunting a group of sperm whales.

Pandu is not yet able to participate in hunting large whales, and hunting sperm whales is relatively more dangerous than hunting other baleen whales. Dai Li asked all three brothers to stay and protect Pandu.

The hunting skills of the Bosse family are very good, even if the three extremely ferocious Bosse brothers are missing, it will not have much impact.

They watched a female sperm whale attack closely, drove away other sperm whales who tried to save the female sperm whale, jumped on the female sperm whale's head, and pressed her underwater.

Pan Du took it very seriously, he was more interested in hunting various large baleen whales than hunting sharks.

Suddenly, the group of sperm whales fled away at an extremely fast speed, completely ignoring the attacked female sperm whales.

All of the orcas in the Posey family were shocked, as sperm whales don't usually give up rescuing pod members so quickly.

Until, they saw countless huge king squids swimming up from the surface of the sea.

The King Squid is a huge monster in the deep sea, and it rarely appears on the surface of the sea. All the killer whales of the Posey family feel incredible.

I saw this group of king squid carrying a sperm whale that had just been hunted, and they sent the sperm whale to the direction of Pandu very respectfully.

At the same time, the group of king squid kept shouting: "Pandu, our king, please accept the most noble gift of our clan..."

Pandu:? ? ?
