After hugging the tail of the fish

The seawater kept pouring into his mouth, and the salty seawater finally overflowed his nasal cavity, constantly squeezing the remaining air in Yu Guiyang's lungs.In order to survive, he had already discarded the broken oxygen cylinder and exhausted all possible means of survival.

That's all for now...

The suffocation deprived him of his ability to think, and he could only watch helplessly as the light refracted by the sea surface got farther and farther away from him.The ripples from his struggle gradually dissipated in the endless waters of the Nansha Islands, and everything became calm.

Consciousness returned to chaos, time seemed to have passed for a long time, so long that Yu Guiyang almost forgot what it was like to be awake, and a belated sharp pain finally hit him.

He opened his eyes suddenly, but the eyes were so sore by the water flow that he had to close them again.

He waited until his eyeballs gradually adapted to the immersion in the sea water, and then he slowly opened his eyes tentatively.

Yu Guiyang observed the scene in front of him in disbelief.

As far as the eye can see is the sea water, and fish schools are shuttling among the corals, spitting bubbles comfortably.He looked around and was shocked to find that he was soaking in sea water.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something and touched the corner of his eye.

No goggles.

Strange, then why his vision is unobstructed, the same as when he usually dives with goggles, or even clearer.

Yu Guiyang couldn't figure it out, but in the end, this problem was not solved, and a new doubt arose——

By the way, didn't he drown?

Thinking of the pain of dying from suffocation, Yu Guiyang couldn't help shivering.

As a marine biologist, he deals with the sea every day, and always pays attention to prevent drowning.

But there are always accidents, no, he didn't expect that the oxygen cylinder he was carrying was damaged. He only wanted to inspect the Nansha Islands, but he committed his life there.

Yu Guiyang sighed.

Unexpectedly, a series of bubbles came out of his mouth.

He saw his own reflection from the smooth membrane wall of the bubble, and saw that his upper body was naked, his skin had lost the wheaten color from working at the beach all year round, and even the scars left by previous operations had disappeared, replaced by a patch of scars. Smooth and white.

Like a pearl polished for many years in the deep sea, after being scoured by sand, stones and sea water, it finally blooms with a glittering brilliance.

Yu Guiyang stared blankly at himself in the bubble.

The change in the skin was nothing to him, it was the mutation in the body that shocked him.With trembling hands, he touched the lower abdomen, where the thighs should have been, but now they were covered with a layer of dark blue and red scales.

It feels cold and smooth to the touch, very much like the feel of fish scales.

Looking down, the scales are closely arranged, winding all the way to the end, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.Fan-shaped tail fins extend from the tail, floating freely with the sea water.

The color of the caudal fin is brighter red than the scales, and the cool blue lines are like the veins of maple leaves criss-crossing.

Beauty is beauty, but for Guiyang, it is no less than experiencing a horror movie at the level of "The Grudge".

Where are his legs?

A ridiculous idea suddenly appeared.

He did drown, but not quite.Now he has become a mermaid - a species that can basically confirm that it does not exist in modern marine biology.

Yu Guiyang would have been dancing with excitement if he had discovered a new marine species in the past, but now he only feels his hands and feet are cold.

Oh, and he has no feet now.

Damn fish tail!

What worries him even more is his current situation. Just think about it, once he is discovered, what awaits him will be sex and research for the rest of his life.

He is willing to dedicate his life to national marine biological research, but not in this way!

After calming down, Yu Guiyang looked around and decided that no matter what, he had to survive first.

The first step to survival is to fill your stomach.

Yu Guiyang pushed aside the sea water and tried to swim in the sea.He has worked hard in swimming, and his skills are not much worse than professional athletes.

At first he was not quite used to this body, but after many times of groping, he finally got used to swimming with his tail dragging.

This "drag" is completely literal.

He couldn't control his own tail like a fish. The fish's tail had its own thoughts and didn't listen to him at all.It is said that it is a blessing in disguise.He also thought he could swim faster with his legs turned into fish tails.

Damn, the clown is actually me.

Yu Guiyang simply ignored the tail and let it fend for itself.

It's just that he can't swim as fast as a small fish after carrying a heavy load.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, he was also tired, so he turned over and lay down on his back.

Now he is just a salted fish that can't catch its prey.

Very hungry.

Yu Guiyang scratched his lower abdomen, and the fish tail swayed slightly with his movements, stirring up the sand under him.

He stared at the turbidity in front of him, thoughtfully.

The seabed is similar to the land, and both have unique landforms.Similarly, by observing the seabed topography, you can get a general idea of ​​the geographical location of this sea area.

Yu Guiyang had previously discovered that the deep-sea sand in this area is particularly abundant and thick.The formation of deep-sea sand is similar to sand, requiring rocks or corals to be eroded and deposited over a long period of time to lay such a thick layer.

He boldly judged that this sea area is an ocean basin, and the depth of the ocean basin is basically more than 2000 meters on the seabed.

Yu Guiyang was taken aback by his own guessing. It is reasonable to say that the bottom of the sea is so deep, it should be pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.

But his vision was not affected, not only could he see the surrounding scene clearly, he also didn't feel dark.

It can be seen that the mermaid's eyes have very low sensitivity to light and cannot distinguish the difference between light and dark.

But it also has the night vision ability similar to cats, making it possible for mermaids to survive in the deep sea.

This discovery is a mixed blessing for Guiyang.

The good thing is that the mermaid's physique can resist the strong pressure of the deep sea, which is very suitable for activities in the deep sea.The ocean is vast, as long as he pays a little attention, the possibility of the instrument exploring him is almost zero.In addition, the areas where humans are frequently active are basically within [-] meters underwater, so he doesn't have to worry about being discovered by humans at all, and he becomes an experimental product for marine biological research.

The bad thing is that he doesn't know if the light has any bad effect on his eyes.Generally speaking, creatures with low light sensitivity, such as bats, are afraid of bright light.

Some marine organisms are accustomed to living in high-pressure deep seas, and will die once they reach shallow seas or land.

Yu Guiyang didn't know the body structure of a mermaid, so he planned to go upstream slowly in the future to confirm the scope of his activities.

Of course, this is all for the future, and the top priority is cooking.

He pushed aside the seabed sand on the surface, and twisted his fingers to pull out a chubby, naked sea cucumber.

Yu Guiyang wiped off the sand sticking to the surface of the sea cucumber, and looked it over carefully.

Sea cucumber is also called sea rat, divided into sea cucumber and light ginseng.A sea cucumber is a sea cucumber with thorns on its body.And the one in his hand is obviously an optical ginseng.

The thornless sea cucumber is plump and round, with a springy touch and a tan skin.

It's so cute.

He squeezed the sea cucumber twice, and immediately took out the internal organs of the sea cucumber with no expression on his face.

It's so cruel, may heaven not have such a cold-blooded and ruthless sea cucumber killer like him.

Yu Guiyang's disappointing tears flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

He hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth. After all, he had never eaten raw sea cucumbers.

Then he thought about how there is no fire in the sea, he wants to eat cooked food unless he goes to land.

With nostalgia for delicious food, he took a bite of sea cucumber.

Unsoaked and uncooked sea cucumbers are very chewy and firm. Although they are small in size, they are rich in taste and chewy.

More importantly, it is not fishy at all!

While eating, Yu Guiyang thought, probably because the mermaid's taste system is different from that of humans, so he can't feel the fishy smell of live sea cucumbers.

Of course, it is also possible that the indicators of sea cucumbers that are more than 2000 meters underwater are quite different from ordinary sea cucumbers.The sea cucumbers sold on the market are only caught at a depth of 30 meters at most, and the taste is incomparable to the one he just ate.

In any case, this is a good thing, otherwise he would have to worry about not getting used to the food under the sea.

After quickly eating a sea cucumber, Yu Guiyang was still a little bit unsatisfied.

It's a pity that he searched for a long time, but he couldn't find the second sea cucumber.

On the contrary, many small things were dug out from the seabed sand, all of which were deep-sea shellfish and crustaceans of unknown species.Without exception, they all entered Yu Guiyang's stomach, but the taste was not as good as the sea cucumber at the beginning.

Barely full, the mermaid lay down on the ground with her tail raised, looking up at the boundless sea.Tired of watching, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Before falling asleep, Yu Guiyang hadn't forgotten to complain about his fish tail, even if he wanted to raise his legs.

After a while, Yu Guiyang relied on this method to fill his stomach and brought disaster to the little things hidden in the sand.

Most of the little ones tasted okay, and he was quite satisfied with this.

He even turned out a palm-sized nautilus, which was a surprise.

Nautilus is an important existence in the history of marine life. It appeared in the Paleozoic Era more than 5 million years ago, and it has countless traces of natural evolution, so it is called the "living fossil" in the ocean.

It's a pity that no matter how precious a treasure is, it cannot escape the fate of being turned into a snack in front of a hungry mermaid.

Yu Guiyang kept the nautilus shell with him, and every time he woke up, he would draw a mark on the shell with his nails.

There was no sun on the bottom of the sea, so he recorded the passage of time on the nautilus shell.In this way, the "living fossil" on the seabed was given a new mission by Yu Guiyang.

On this day, when Yu Guiyang was looking for food, he accidentally found an anglerfish.

The anglerfish in the deep sea is very conspicuous, with a "hand" extending from the top of its head, which is its appendage on the top of its head.The top of the appendages will emit light. Because of its shape resembling a lantern, the anglerfish also has a cute common name: lantern fish.

Although the lantern fish does not look good, its meat is firm and delicious.

Use your life to implement the concept of "I am ugly, but I am delicious".

Yu Guiyang was lucky enough to eat it a few times. The excellent ingredients were paired with the top-notch cooking techniques. He still can't forget the taste of it.

He dragged the tail of the fish and approached the light source cautiously. The lantern fish was not slow to swim, and he was no match for the speed.

Can only engage in sneak attacks.

The domineering anglerfish in the deep sea doesn't know that it's being targeted by a mermaid, so it's leisurely wandering around with a small lantern.

They are good at using the phototaxis of organisms to attract small plankton, and then swallow them with a wide mouth.Some lazy anglerfish don't even bother to close their mouths. With their superb hunting skills, they have few rivals in the deep sea.

Once they encounter a strong enemy, they put the lantern in their mouth and flee quickly.Without a light source, enemies who want to taste the fragrance will lose their way.

Just when Guiyang was about to strike, a pitch-black shadow suddenly descended.

He watched helplessly as the plump lantern fish was pinched in two by a crab claw covered with huge barbs!

Before he had time to remember the lost food, he hurried away holding the fish tail.

Not satisfied with swallowing the remains of the lantern fish in one gulp, the huge crab waved its big pincers and chased after Yu Guiyang!

Yu Guiyang swims desperately, but he also knows that he is afraid that the worst will happen.

Just a rough look, this deep-sea giant crab looks similar to a hairy crab, but its size is more than a hundred times that of a hairy crab.

Perhaps they belonged to the same source thousands of years ago.

Who knows?

All he knew was that he was dying.

Seeing the crabs chasing up, the sharp claws are close at hand.

Yu Guiyang closed his eyes resignedly to his fate. He died a tragic death in his previous life. Since he couldn't resist death, let him die peacefully.

At this time, the tail still has its own thoughts, flopping around.

It's really a big mermaid head.

Where Yu Guiyang didn't see it, the giant deep-sea crab suddenly stopped moving.

And the giant crab claw that was about to touch Yu Guiyang broke at the root in an instant.The broken crab leg was floating, and a slender figure swam along the crab's claws to Yu Guiyang.

The hairy crab had a broken arm, but he couldn't bear the slightest resistance, so he fled the scene quickly.

Chi Yuan didn't chase after him, but just frowned slightly and looked at the little mermaid in front of him.

"Snapped!"

Chi Yuan's face was thrown to one side by the fish's tail, and there was still a dazed look in his eyes.
