Chapter 85 Shallow Seas
Zhang Fan believes that how to enter the sea and where to enter the sea are very important, and one must choose a direction with few enemies to enter the sea.

Then the best place is on the easternmost side of the mountain range. Zhang Fan gave this place a nice name, Shanhaiguan.

The location of Shanhaiguan is surrounded by the sea on three sides, backed by mountains, and has a long and narrow tunnel, which can just block the landing operations of large marine organisms.

As for the smaller marine creatures, Zhang Fan can easily handle them.

After finalizing the sea location, Zhang Fan asked the stinging jellyfish to investigate around Shanhaiguan, not to let any small fish or shrimp go.

This sea area belongs to the shallow sea area, the sea depth is only a dozen meters, and there are many reddish-brown coral reefs under the seabed.

Many small animals can also be seen on the coral reef, such as worms and sponges.

It's just that there are some creatures that Zhang Fan can't name, and their images are too far from Zhang Fan's impression.

For example, the seahorse-like creatures that dangle in front of the stinging jellyfish have their heads bent at right angles to their bodies and also have a tubular mouthpart.

Looking back, this seahorse-like creature is a little different, with color-changing scales on its body and sharp thorns on its back.

There are a few long tentacles under the abdomen, and there are suction cups on these tentacles, which can cling to anything very well. Zhang Fan doesn't bother to name it happily, so let's call it a seahorse.

No, a lifeless seahorse swam towards the stinging jellyfish.

At first, the stinging jellyfish ignored it, seeing that it was not a threat due to its small size.

But this move made the seahorse even worse, raised its tentacles and grabbed the crown of the stinging jellyfish, and immediately stuck to it.

Of course, the stinging jellyfish couldn't let it just break ground on Tai Sui's head, shaking its head crazily, but it just couldn't shake it off.

At this time, the seahorse sticks its tubular mouthparts on the head of the stinging jellyfish and starts sucking.

I saw a large piece of membrane heading towards the mouth of the seahorse, and the stinging jellyfish hurriedly beat its tentacles towards the seahorse.

This seahorse-like reaction was quite clever. It slapped the stinging jellyfish's head with its tentacles, and flitted away as soon as it released its mouthparts.

Of course, the stinging jellyfish couldn't let it go like this. The moment the seahorse left, a sharp thorn quickly stabbed at the seahorse, piercing it all at once.

In addition, Zhang Fan also saw fish here, the first fish he saw in this world, the stickleback.

The dorsal, pectoral, pelvic and anal fins of sticklebacks have hard spines at the front, crooked tail, pectoral and pelvic fins are fully developed, but the fin rays are not developed, and there are additional paired fins between the pectoral and pelvic fins.

There are primitive jaws, an enlarged upper jaw occluded with a well-developed lower jaw, the upper jaw is edentulous, and the lower jaw is edentulous.

These sticklebacks are all in groups, causing a lot of trouble for the stinger jellyfish to expand their search range.

These guys seem to be born to be the nemesis of the sting jellyfish. The hard fins can block the stinger attack of the sting jellyfish, and the powerful jaws can crush the sting jellyfish.

It would be very difficult for Zhang Fan to deal with such a situation.

Marine life has a characteristic, that is, the body excretes salt, and the stinging jellyfish also has this characteristic. This salt excretion is to balance the water in the body.

But this discharge of salt also caused Zhang Fan a lot of trouble.

It can be said that on the ground, Zhang Fan can obtain the genes of other organisms by transforming cells, and then transform them into his own genes.

Even some aquatic creatures can also be obtained, except that freshwater creatures can be transformed directly in the water, and saltwater creatures need to capture them ashore and then transform them.

But in the sea, this kind of transformation becomes very difficult, because of the penetration of the ocean, the transformed cells cannot survive in the sea for a long time.

If the modified cells are injected into the living body under such circumstances, they will be quickly purified, and on the contrary, they will add nutrients to the other party.

Zhang Fan also considered making transformed cells into cells that could survive in the sea, but after the cells were made, the effect was greatly compromised.

Not only that, marine organisms have evolved their own immune system. When the modified cells invade, the lymphatic vessels will secrete lymphocytes to wipe out all these foreign invaders.

This is also the reason why Zhang Fan has not been able to obtain the genes of marine organisms for so long.

Without superior biological genes, the Zerg's control over the ocean would be far from sufficient, and a large-scale attack would not be possible if the control was insufficient.

Zhang Fan can only grind slowly now, one is one, and it will no longer develop as fast as it did on land.

The stinging jellyfish was stopped by the stickleback. After some testing, Zhang Fan was sure that these creatures were not controlled by Zero, and they belonged to pure native life.

Apart from sticklebacks and stinging jellyfish, Zhang Fan dispatched the worker bees to Shanhaiguan.

Lay the creep blanket at the pass, and then settle the brood near the ocean.

Half of this mother nest is in the sea and half is on the ground, so that the stinging jellyfish can be quickly hatched, and the hosts no longer need to carry it.

Ever since, the brood began to ovulate frantically, throwing the eggs of stinging jellyfish one after another into the sea.

The sea creatures rushed here smelling the fishy smell, and the stinging jellyfish that had hatched desperately blocked the creatures here.

In an instant, this shallow sea area turned into a pool of blood.

In the depths of the ocean further away, those large primitive sharks smelled fishy and rushed over here.

Sharks have such a keen sense of smell that they can smell blood from miles away.

It's just troublesome when it rushes here, the shallow sea is not enough to support its huge body to swim.

Looking from a distance, Zhang Fan saw a few primitive sharks swimming around non-stop. Once any creature left this sea area, it would be attacked by the sharks frantically.

"This is really troublesome." Zhang Fan thought a little irritably.

At this time, Adam found Zhang Fan and sent a message: "Master, Adam has good news for you."

Zhang Fan asked, "What good news?"

Adam replied: "Master, just now, Adam and Gaia jointly researched a new type of marine Zerg."

Zhang Fan was elated and said: "This is really good news, take me to have a look."

Zhang Fan's vision returned to the evolution chamber, Adam and Gaia are here, they are closely watching the situation in the chamber.

In the chamber filled with nutrient solution is a black eel swimming curiously.

Zhang Fan asked, "Isn't this an eel?"

Adam replied: "Master, yes, this is an eel, and it is an electric eel."
