"Archerfish" was 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 a kind of ornamental fish in his previous life that could shoot arrow-like water currents underwater at the bugs above the water. The high-speed water flow was like bullets, knocking the bugs down into the water and then feasting!
He had a friend who kept this kind of fish at his home. He once visited his house as a guest, and he deliberately put live flying insects into the fish tank to let the archer fish perform a "unique trick".
It's just that the ornamental fish seems to live in shallow water, and their attack targets are often insects on branches and rocks not far above the water. This is the bottom of the sea... It can only be said that the two are similar, but Lu Ping actually doesn'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.
Facing the water arrow, he deliberately caught it.
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 person who issued this attack was just a small fish less than 20cm long...
Miss Liquor looked a little frightened, twisting her body and opening a distance of at least five meters 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 swooped 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 back armor part was then placed on the head. The bulge on the dolphin's forehead just catches it.
Miss Liquor slowly approached the cave this time, carefully adjusting the angle throughout so that the turtle shell always faced the entrance of the cave.
Soon several water arrows were shot out of the hole again! But they all hit the turtle shell, and apart from 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, watching from the side, and 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 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 cave entrance like a spring! Then turn sideways to block the air holes and breathe.
Those gases appear to contain oxygen.
"Tweet." Miss Liquor 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 had actually never heard of this species because he didn'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 could swallow large amounts of seawater to swell their abdomens, which further supported Lu Ping's speculation 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 immortal.
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 Lupine. Before, when he used the form of an intelligent 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 things like pangolin scales and rhinoceros skin into the form of a wise dolphin to improve his defense, that actually does more harm than good! Lu Ping had already tried it, and the result of the random mixing was that the swimming speed of the wise dolphin form dropped significantly, and it even began to produce deep-sea anesthesia.
The decrease in swimming speed is easy to understand.
The smooth and streamlined skin that dolphins have evolved over many years 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 spongy 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 with a thickness of 5cm undoubtedly makes this kind of subtle skin control empty talk.
As for deep sea anesthesia.
Lupine didn't understand the principle. He only knew that when he used the soft body of the dolphin, he would not feel any discomfort whether he was floating up or down quickly! But on the contrary, after putting on a hard and strong scale body, it is more likely to cause 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 successfully evolved animal 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 pufferfish, he also thought about leaving.
This experience was very magical and opened Lu Ping's eyes, but 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, he recited silently and re-formed into the form of a six-meter-long intelligent dolphin.
"Goodbye, Miss Bottle." Lupine tried his best to say this in a dolphin voice, but the sound was still awkward. Lupine saw Miss Bottle stunned for a moment.
It followed Lupine all the way upstream, but stopped when it reached the cleft at the top of the canyon.
Stopping in the less toxic sea water inside the canyon, he kept watching Lupine 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 going out to hunt, 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, and it is speculated that it is probably a fourth-level undead! In order to prevent the other party and the undead under his command from discovering the location of the Crystal Palace, no one is allowed to go out.
"Everyone is not allowed to go out, but those who have gone out cannot 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 your electronic bracelet to contact Yu Xin 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.
