Chapter 411 Devouring the Eel

It's not that he didn't want to get this coral up there, but he knew that it was a second-class national protected animal. If he really brought it back by himself, it would bring countless troubles to the boss.

When Ma Hua turned around and found that many crew members were concentrated in one sea area, he also came here and found that there were countless conch shells in this sea area.

These conch shells are of different shapes, many of which he has never seen in the short video. This guy immediately became interested and began to look for conch shells that he thought were more beautiful in the conch group.

While Ma Hua was searching among the conch shells, she was attracted by a conch shell that looked like jade.

I saw that the conch was in the shape of an inward roll, with thin spiral teeth on the outer lip and inner lip, and the outer membrane was very thin.The surface is coated with another layer of enamel, and the surface is extremely smooth.

The screw surface is covered with various spots and patterns, and the screw mouth is narrow and long.

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful"

This was Ma Hua's first reaction when she saw the snail.

He quickly reached out and put the conch, which he thought was the most beautiful, into the net bag.

"Go back and ask the boss, this conch should be quite famous, but why haven't I seen it in the short video?"

While thinking about it, the guy started looking for the next target.

The crew searched here for 30 minutes, and everyone returned to the boat one after another. As soon as Ma Hua surfaced, she yelled:
"Is the boss back? Is the boss back?"

The crew members were used to this guy's yelling, so no one took his words to heart.

When Ma Hua returned to the deck, she took off her diving equipment, raised the conch he thought was the most beautiful over her head, and looked around to find it.

"What are you looking for?"

After Yu Hongbo gave this guy a kick, he asked.

"Looking for the boss? Look, who among you knows this conch?"

When everyone saw the conch in his hand, they all thought it was beautiful, but no one could name the conch.

"Is it possible that the captain will come back so soon? It's not the first day you have dived with him. Which time is he not the last one to come back? You'd better be quiet."

Wang Husheng said while adding fresh water.

"The boss is very powerful. Did you see that he almost doesn't need any equipment when going into the sea, unlike us, hey! This person is really incomparable to others."

Ji Yongfu, who has the best diving ability among the crew, is also chasing after him.

As far as Ji Yongfu is concerned, not to mention among these crew members, even when he was in the navy, he was also one of the best divers, and he is only a little short of the frogman level.

At first Xu Hang introduced him to be a crew member on Ye Yuan's ship, but he was conflicted in his heart. After all, it has diving skills.

But because he didn't want to leave the team he had lived in for 3 years, he came to Ye Yuan's place.

After coming here, he also secretly competed with Ye Yuan a few times. After seeing Ye Yuan's talent in diving, he gave up the idea of ​​competing with his boss.

"The boss is a pervert, you can't compare"

This guy Ma Hua really admires Ye Yuan, so he has a lot of admiration for Ye Yuan.

While the crew members were still discussing on the deck, the capable boss they were talking about was now encountering a small problem.

The current Ye Yuan is already in the deep sea at a depth of more than 2000 meters.

Less than 50 meters away from him, there was a huge tadpole-shaped creature staring at him.

This huge "tadpole" is 5 meters long.

When Ye Yuan saw it for the first time, he recognized the origin of this guy, there is no way, who made this guy look so distinctive?
The scientific name of this guy is devouring eel, also known as wide-pharyngeal fish, swallowing eel, pharyngeal eel, etc. It is one of the species of ray-finned fishes, cystobranchiales, and is a rare deep-sea fish.

Among the top ten weird creatures in the ocean, this guy has a place.

Its most notable feature is its large mouth.

This eel has no movable upper jaw, and the huge lower jaw is loosely connected to the head.

It never closes its mouth, and when it opens it can easily swallow creatures larger than itself.As a result, it got the name "Umbrella Mouth Devourer" in the West.

In Chinese records, it is called devouring eel.

The prey swallowed by it, like the fish swallowed by the pelican, are put into the lower jaw bag, so some people in the West call it the pelican eel.

This eel has no ribs, and its stomach is very flexible, which can expand and lay down its prey.

But don’t misunderstand that it mainly eats large creatures. In fact, its main food is small fish and shrimps that swim slowly, and it still eats a small number of big meals.

Devouring eels live in the deep seas of the world's oceans, at a depth of about 1000 meters. Some sources say they live at a depth of 1500-2750 meters, but what is certain is that the deep sea is their home.

Since the deep sea is very dark, vision is not important, so their eyes are very small.

The eel also has a long, whip-like tail, which is often found in trawls brought to the surface by itself in several knots.

At this moment, Swallowing Eel is like an old man, swimming slowly towards Ye Yuan, showing no signs of attacking at all, but his strange appearance gives people a sense of terror.

Ye Yuan boldly swam to this guy's side, his perception was all locked on this guy, if it had the slightest attempt to attack him, Ye Yuan would take him into the space without hesitation.

After all, from the outside, this devouring eel is still in the income range of Ye Yuan.

The moment Ye Yuan's hand touched Devouring Eel's body, the guy didn't overreact, which made Ye Yuan's heart relax a lot.

Feeling the slimy touch on your hand is no different from stroking a normal eel.

Swallowing Eel didn't seem to see Ye Yuan, still swimming slowly in one direction, and from time to time, some small fish and shrimp would stray into his wide open mouth.

Ye Yuan was amused, he wondered if it was because of the deep sea, couldn't these little fish see the way?They all entered other people's mouths, and they continued to swim forward as before.

Swimming with the devouring eel for a certain distance, he really wanted to take this guy into the space, but finally gave up after thinking about it.

Looking at the time, he had been out for a long time, so he reluctantly patted this tough-looking guy who was actually a bit silly, turned around and swam back in the direction he came from.

Although I didn't pick up any treasures when I came out this time, it was worth it to get in close contact with the rare devouring eels.

You must know that this guy is rarely discovered by humans. So far, not many scientists can tell his living habits, and the introductions in many materials are more or less guesses.
