172 Emergency closure

"Archerfish" is just a type of fish that Lupine remembered, not the real name of the strange fish in front of him.

Lu Ping just remembered that there seemed to be such a kind of ornamental fish in his previous life, which could shoot arrow-like water currents underwater at the insects above the water surface. The high-speed water flow was like bullets, knocking down the insects into the water, and then having a feast!

He had a friend who kept this kind of fish at home. Once when he was a guest at his house, he deliberately put live flying insects into the fish tank and let the archer fish perform a "unique trick".

It's just that the ornamental fish seem to live in shallow water, and their attack targets are often insects on branches and rocks that stay not far above the water. This is the bottom of the sea... I can only say that there are similarities between the two, but

Lu Ping actually didn't know the name of the strange fish in front of him.

It's just a small fish, so Lu Ping is naturally not afraid of it.

Faced with water arrows, he deliberately caught them.

The palm of his hand shook, and Lu Ping suddenly felt a little surprised. There was about two meters between him and the palm-sized fish, and when the water arrow hit the palm of his hand, it actually made his palm hurt slightly!

This power is no less than the all-out attack of the one-turn undead!

And you must know that the one who issued this attack was just a small fish less than 20cm long...

Miss Liquor looked a little scared, twisting her body and keeping at least five meters away from the entrance of the cave.

But it was obviously unwilling to give in. It was suspended in the sea water five meters away, tilting its head and staring at the strange fish in deep thought.

After a moment, it suddenly dived down, and when it came back... there was a turtle shell half a meter in diameter on its head!

I don’t know which turtle left behind after death, but now it has become Miss Liquor’s “safety hat”. The relatively fragile abdomen of the turtle shell has been smashed by Miss Liquor’s nose, leaving only the thickest and thickest shell.

The hard carapace part was then pressed against the head. The bulge on the dolphin's forehead just caught it.

Miss Liquor slowly approached the cave this time, carefully adjusting the angle throughout the process so that the turtle shell always faced the entrance of the cave.

Soon, several water arrows were shot out of the cave again! But they all hit the turtle shell, and except for the sound of "dong dong dong", they did not make any achievements.

And when she got close enough... Miss Liquor suddenly took off her helmet and accelerated suddenly!

The slender snout like a spear was inserted directly into the cave, and the strange fish that shot water was instantly stabbed to death on the cave wall.

Lu Ping did not interfere during the whole process and watched from the side. His assessment of Miss Bottle's IQ immediately improved greatly again.

Predators actually know how to use tools, and these tools are not readily available, but require certain processing - if the plastron part is not broken, the turtle shell cannot be worn on the head.

In fact, this was not the first time that Lupine was amazed. He had just discovered the secret of Miss Bottle's ability to maintain ventilation while living in the canyon - she could actually find some bubbles on the cliff, like pearls.

A hole like a spring! Then turn sideways and block the air hole to breathe.

Those gases appear to contain oxygen.

"Tweet." Miss Bottle was enjoying her meal.

Lupine also leaned over, ran his fingertips across the blood-stained seawater, and put a little into his mouth.

[Acquire 100% of the "Arch-backed Pufferfish" gene...]

Lu Ping felt happy.

He has actually never heard of this species because he doesn't know much about marine life.

However, I collected a lot of creatures in this submarine canyon today, and the gene I am most interested in right now is this "Arch-backed Pufferfish"!

He had just roughly figured out that the attack method of this deep-sea fish was probably to first absorb a large amount of seawater in its belly, and then contract the muscles throughout its body to squeeze the water and turn it into a water arrow.

The name Pufferfish also reminded him of the familiar "river pufferfish". It seemed that many pufferfish species were able to swallow large amounts of seawater to swell their abdomens, which further supported Lu Ping's guess on the principle of their attacks.

And with a body size of only 20cm, the water arrows it shoots can actually achieve the power of a one-turn undead.

Lu Ping wanted to know, if he integrated this ability into the form of a wise dolphin and used his more powerful muscles to squeeze the water flow, what kind of power could the water arrow achieve?

More importantly, this is a long-distance attack method!

This undoubtedly opened up a new way of thinking for Lu Ping. Before, when he used the form of a wise dolphin to fight the undead, he still had to rely on himself to hit and cut, and he could easily be injured in the process.

And although he can also use Pandora's substance to forcibly blend pangolin scales, rhinoceros skin and the like into the form of an intelligent dolphin to enhance his defense, that would actually do more harm than good! Lu Ping had already tried it, and it was a mess.

As a result, the swimming speed of the intelligent dolphin form has dropped significantly, and it may even begin to produce deep-sea anesthesia.

The decrease in swimming speed is easy to understand.

The smooth and streamlined skin that dolphins have developed over many years of evolution is to minimize underwater resistance. In contrast, the surface structure covered with pangolin scales undoubtedly greatly increases friction.

The soft skin of dolphins, as well as the subtle sponge-like structure under the skin, can control the rise and fall of the skin during high-speed movement, eliminate turbulence, and further reduce resistance! The use of rhinoceros leather up to 5cm thick undoubtedly makes this subtle skin control a

Empty talk.

As for deep sea anesthesia.

Lu Ping didn't understand the principle. He only knew that when he used the soft body of a dolphin, he would not feel any discomfort no matter whether he floated up or dived quickly! But on the contrary, after using the hard and strong scale body, he was more likely to feel discomfort.

Many manifestations of deep-sea anesthesia and decompression sickness...

In the end, it can only be boiled down to the fact that the body structure of every animal that has successfully evolved is a complex system that has been tempered for thousands of times. If it is changed casually, inexplicable problems may occur.

"Okay, today's harvest is enough. It's time to go back and report the news." After Lu Ping obtained the gene of the puffer fish, he also thought about leaving.

This experience was very magical and opened Lu Ping's eyes. However, calculating the time, only about an hour had passed since he met the group of undead.

"Life Canyon, come back next time." Lu Ping secretly remembered the location of this canyon in his mind and began to float upward.

During the process, it was loaded silently and transformed into the form of a six-meter-long intelligent dolphin.

"Goodbye, Miss Bottle." Lu Ping tried his best to say this in a dolphin voice, but the sound was still awkward. Lu Ping saw Miss Bottle stunned for a moment.

It followed Lupine all the way upstream, but stopped when it reached the crack at the top of the canyon.

He stopped in the less toxic sea water inside the canyon and watched Lu Ping go away.

————

After a while.

Lupine returned to the Crystal Palace in his fish-man form. As soon as he entered the range of the signal base station, he received several urgent messages from the extraordinary dedicated channel and the city management channel.

"Uh, you don't need me to tell you, Crystal Palace already knows?"

When Lu Ping saw these messages, it turned out that they were all messages for the extraordinary people to urgently stop hunting and the patrol team also stopped going out for patrols.

The Crystal Palace has been declared closed and no one is allowed to go out!

The reason is that the undead in this sea area have obviously united and are searching for the location of the Crystal Palace... There seems to be a "king" behind them. It is speculated that it is probably a level four undead! In order to prevent the other party and his subordinates from

The undead discovered the location of the Crystal Palace and no one was allowed to go out.

"Everyone can't go out, but those who have gone out can't be contacted because the signal base station cannot cover that far." Lu Ping frowned slightly, "In other words, we can only see these things when everyone returns as planned.

Warning message…”

"Uh, no." Lu Ping suddenly felt nervous, "Isn't mom a member of the geological exploration team? I remember these days, the entire geological exploration team has been mobilized to explore for mineral veins in the surrounding waters... Isn't she still not back?

Bar?"

Use the electronic bracelet to contact Yu Rui immediately!

But it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and no one answered for a long time. Obviously she was probably not in the Crystal Palace at this time.

"Damn it." Lu Ping became nervous and quickly contacted his father, Lu Xuejiang.
