Chapter 5 Crisis
Fear comes from the unknown.
Xu Kun swung his tail fin desperately, then jumped high out of the water, and then fell heavily. He hoped that the huge impact would shake off the monster on him.
But all it got was heartbreaking pain at the wound. The suction cup on the monster's mouth tightened. Perhaps stimulated by Xu Kun, it began to eat the muscle tissue near the wound.
It hurt, it hurt like hell, but it wasn't all bad. When Xu Kun jumped up, the monster's body was shaken, and Xu Kun finally got a glimpse of the monster's cylindrical body. Then, Xu Kun used the animal business card.
Ability, obtained information about monsters:
[Name: Lamprey]
【Alias: Ledge】
[Type: jawless animals]
【Life Level:1】
[Survival mode: parasitism]
[Body length: 60 cm]
【Weight: 1kg】
[Food habits: Carnivore]
[Parasite duration: unknown]
Looking at the information in front of him, Xu Kun couldn't help but shudder. He had heard of this terrifying creature in his previous life. It was an extremely ancient animal that lived on parasitic fish. The flesh and blood of the host was their food. It was nicknamed "
"Zombie fish" is definitely infamous.
"Am I so unlucky?" Xu Kun thought to himself, "I was attacked by a horned shark a few days ago, but today I was parasitized by a lamprey just after I took a walk. How unlucky!"
p>
Xu Kun was unwilling to be parasitized like this and jumped out of the water several times in succession. In the end, except for exhausting himself, it had no effect at all.
Really helpless, Xu Kun returned to the reef area. He hoped that Doctor Fish could help him solve the lamprey problem, but he obviously thought too much.
It's okay to ask these tiny doctor fish to get rid of some parasites, but it's really difficult to get them to get rid of the lampreys adsorbed on their bodies.
What can we do? The lamprey is attached to the back of Xu Kun's pectoral fin, and it is difficult to get rid of it by scratching it.
Xu Kun felt a little anxious. It would be great if he had hands like his previous life, so that he could pull off the lamprey directly.
Unfortunately, Xu Kun is now a lonely and helpless prehistoric fish. He has to find other ways to get rid of this lamprey as soon as possible.
"Don't panic, don't panic, there's always a way, and you can definitely think of a way to save yourself."
Xu Kun hinted to himself crazily. He swung his tail and shuttled around the reef area, hoping to make some unexpected discoveries. When Xu Kun noticed a large group of sea anemones on the reef, he couldn't help but have a bold idea in his mind.
The lamprey has no scales on its body surface, so it is difficult for it to resist the sting of the sea anemone. It may be able to use the toxins of the sea anemone to help it get rid of the lamprey.
Xu Kun used the ability of animal business cards to obtain basic information about these sea anemones:
【Name:Princess Anemone】
[Type: Cnidarians]
[Life level: 0]
[Food habits: Carnivore]
[Toxin composition: neurotoxin, muscle toxin]
[Toxicity: highly toxic]
[Attack method: nematocyst]
…………
Xu Kun found that when he concentrated, he could get more information about Princess Anemone.
Xu Kun glanced at the information at a glance. When he saw the word "poisonous", he couldn't help but hesitate. He had the idea of obtaining the gene for immunity to sea anemone toxins, but he was immediately rejected.
p>
Because gene fusion takes at least two days, Xu Kun is not sure whether something terrible will happen in these two days. It will lead to long nights and many dreams. He has to get rid of this disgusting thing like lampreys as soon as possible, and he can only take risks.
Xu Kun slowly swam toward the group of sea anemones. Some timid fish that coexisted with the princess sea anemone hid among the tentacles of the sea anemone.
Xu Kun swam slowly against the sea anemones. He could feel some nematocysts hitting him, but he could not break through the scale barrier.
At this time, the lamprey attached to Xu Kun's body seemed to be under attack. He could clearly feel the twitching of the lamprey's body.
"It seems to be working!"
Xu Kun was overjoyed, so he got closer to the group of sea anemones. More nematocysts pierced the body of the lamprey, and the sea anemone toxin was injected into the body of the lamprey.
For a moment, Xu Kun only felt that the back of the pectoral fins loosened, and the lamprey's disk-shaped mouthparts finally loosened. Then it struggled to break away from the sea anemone's nematocyst and tried to escape, but it only swam a dozen meters away.
That’s when the poison comes out.
Xu Kun swam close to the lamprey. It was already belly up. Although it was not dead yet, it seemed that it would not live long. He wanted to swallow it into his belly to enrich the gene pool, but considering the marine content in its body, Xu Kun swam close to it.
Kwaitoxin, I gave up the idea.
Just when Xu Kun was about to go to the lair, the seabed suddenly shook violently, making the water turbid.
"What's going on? There's an earthquake?"
Due to the instinct of fish, Xu Kun felt a huge sense of crisis in his heart. At the same time, all the marine life in the shallow sea felt the restlessness of the power of nature, and they all went dormant.
Now is not the time for low tide at all, but the sea water is retreating rapidly. Everything happening now is clearly a sign before the tsunami comes.
Xu Kun's first reaction was to quickly return to the nest to hide, but he soon realized that if a tsunami came, he would not be allowed to return to the nest, so it would be better to find a nearby hiding place.
Xu Kun quickly swam to the side of the reef facing away from the deep sea. He found a depression at the base of the reef and hid.
Not long after Xu Kun hid, a terrifying roar came from the distance, as if an ancient giant beast had awakened from the bottom of the sea.
The surface of the shallow sea turned snow-white, and a bright water wall more than twenty meters high appeared dozens of kilometers away from the coast. In the sky, countless pterosaurs and seabirds spread their wings and fled towards the mainland.
Thick dark clouds cover the sky and the sun, and a chilling atmosphere fills this space.
The roaring sound is getting closer and closer, and the tsunami waves are coming one after another. The wave has been pushed up to more than 30 meters, and the entire shallow sea has been turned upside down.
Wherever the tsunami passed, it was like wind and clouds, and no one could stay out of it. Only at this moment did Xu Kun truly feel his helplessness and insignificance in front of nature.
"Buzz..."
The natural disaster-level tsunami wave rolled over the reef, and the water suddenly became turbid. The corals, sea anemones, and various fish in the reef area, including Xu Kun, were all swept away, and then washed up with huge waves more than 30 meters high.
Toward the coast.
"Boom..."
Huge waves hit the cliffs on the shore, making an earth-shattering noise. The cliff more than 30 meters high was even engulfed by the violent waves.
Xu Kun was tossed around like a leaf in the turbulence. He almost lost the ability to feel the outside world at this time. The huge waves carried him five kilometers deep inland before quickly receding. He was dizzy and scarred.
