At first, Ye Yuan thought he had seen it wrong.
When he checked again, he found that it was indeed the body of a beetle.
And from the looks of it, it must have just died, and the entire insect body is still very intact.
It's not like he died after being attacked by any creature.
Then comes the problem.
Such an aggressive insect.
How did you die without any physical damage?
Before Ye Yuan could understand this truth.
I saw the group of lobsters from before, after carving up the small squids.
He focused his attention on the dead beetle again.
The incident happened too suddenly, and Ye Yuan was still some distance away from the place where the accident happened.
Now even if he swam with all his strength, he couldn't snatch the beetle's carcass before the lobsters shared their meal.
However, Ye Yuan swam quickly to the location of the incident.
With a wave of his hand, a few lobsters that were still feasting were taken into the space by him.
He didn't know what would happen if the lobsters ate the dead beetles.
But he couldn't let these lobsters roam in the sea.
After the lobster entered the space, it was fastened to an isolated sea area by Ye Yuan.
What to do with these lobsters?
While collecting them, Ye Yuan had already thought about it.
All he has to do is wait until he returns and hand them over to Professor Su.
I believe the old professor still likes to do these things.
With the location where the beetle was found as the center of the circle, the perception began to spread out in all directions.
As a result, when the perception reached a position about ten nautical miles northeast.
Ye Yuan was extremely shocked by the scene he saw in front of him.
He really didn't expect that when would a blue hole under the sea appear here?
He had also scanned this sea area before fishing.
Ye Yuan remembered clearly that there was no blue hole here at all.
This can only mean that this blue hole was only formed in recent months.
The so-called blue hole.
As the name suggests, it means blue cave.
Unlike ordinary caves, blue holes automatically emit blue light.
As far back as ancient Roman times, people have been exploring the Blue Grotto.
It may be a relationship of "passing on rumors."
Finally, it was reported that "the Blue Cave is a base for contemporary witches to cultivate their moral strength and train their magic power."
As soon as this statement came out, the true appearance of the blue hole has remained unknown.
It is always covered with a veil of mystery.
Its types are mainly concentrated in ocean blue holes and terrestrial blue holes.
Although few people have heard of blue holes, it does not mean that they are very rare.
In fact, there are blue holes in many places in the world.
The blue hole Ye Yuan discovered today is obviously an ocean blue hole.
The so-called ocean blue hole is actually a huge "deep hole" that suddenly sinks under the sea.
Blue holes are typically hundreds of feet deep.
When divers dive into ocean blue holes to conduct surveys, they usually find that there is a severe lack of oxygen.
Probably due to lack of water circulation.
Generally, blue holes cannot support the existence of marine life.
But ocean blue holes are of great scientific research value.
Scientists have discovered many ancient fossil remains at the bottom of ocean blue holes.
A blue hole was suddenly discovered in this sea area today, and Ye Yuan was very sure that this blue hole was formed recently.
Could this sudden appearance of the blue hole be related to this beetle?
Ye Yuan was analyzing the relationship between the two things in his mind, but he swam towards the blue hole.
Come to the top of the blue hole and overlook the entire blue hole sea area.
This blue hole, which has just been formed and is not large in scale, actually gives people a deep, mysterious and weird feeling.
Ye Yuan knew that there were many blue holes of different sizes and shapes distributed in the world's oceans.
But when he actually saw it with his own eyes, he was still attracted by the mystery of the blue hole.
Looking at this deep, dark cave under the sea, Ye Yuan couldn't help but swallow.
Since gaining the ability to sense, Ye Yuan has seen many underwater wonders.
But no matter it is a thousand-meter-high mountain peak.
It is also a magnificent submarine basin.
Or maybe it's the mysterious trench.
None of them gave Ye Yuan such a sense of panic today.
That's right, Ye Yuan felt panic in his heart for no reason at this moment.
It seemed like there was some scary creature in the blue hole, which gave Ye Yuan a very bad feeling.
The entrance of the blue hole here is not very big. Looking at it, the diameter is only about a hundred meters.
Perhaps such a cave entrance could be of a similar size on land.
But placed in the sea, it is really just a small hole.
There are very few marine life activities around the entrance of the blue hole.
Occasionally, if some creatures pass by, they will quickly bypass them.
They seem to be a little afraid of this place and don't want to stay here for a moment.
Through the observed abnormal biological behavior, Ye Yuan was more certain.
This blue hole that suddenly appeared definitely has a big secret.
Ye Yuan did not dare to act rashly and could only penetrate his senses into the entrance of the blue hole.
When you enter this dark cave, the first thing you feel is darkness.
You know, Ye Yuan's perception is even in the deep sea of 10,000 meters.
It will not affect the observation of everything around you.
But for this mere blue hole, after entering, the perceived visual range is actually compressed to only a dozen meters away.
This is simply unimaginable.
From this point of view, it further proves the mystery of this blue hole.
But when Ye Yuan had just adapted to the darkness.
But he was shocked and speechless by the scene he saw in front of him.
Although the visual range within the blue hole is only a dozen meters.
But it was still clear that an unknown centipede-like creature was entrenched in it.
Ye Yuan didn't know how long this 'centipede' was.
Because within the scope of his perception, there is no end in sight.
When Ye Yuan felt approaching, he wanted to follow the centipede's body to find out what was going on.
As a result, after sensing the centipede approaching, he discovered what kind of centipede it was.
This is obviously the same horse birch ladybug that has countless of them.
At this moment, the beetle is connected head to tail.
From a distance, it looks like a giant centipede.
But when you get closer, you will find that this is a group of horse birch ladybugs, resting.
It's just that their way of resting is special.
Each beetle bites the tail of its companion, creating a centipede-like appearance.
Ye Yuan was completely and deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
Not to mention how many birch beetles were ahead, just the number of beetles he saw now.
It is estimated to be over a thousand.
If these beetles were present in the sea outside.
So one can imagine what kind of damage it will bring to the coastal waters of Blue Island?
Try to collect a beetle into the space.
As a result, a scene that Ye Yuan did not expect appeared.
Originally, given the size of the beetle and Ye Yuan within this distance, it should be an easy task to collect it.
But it was such an easy thing, and he failed.
It can be said that at this moment, Ye Yuan not only failed to collect the beetles.
His mental energy was also consumed to an unprecedented extent.
At this moment, he almost fell headlong into the blue hole at his feet due to excessive mental energy loss.
Fortunately, his willpower was strong enough and he didn't pass out.
If you really fall into a blue hole.
Ye Yuan knew that what was waiting for him would be eaten by thousands of insects.
When that time comes, there is really no way out except hiding in space.
how so?
Is it because these beetles are connected head to tail?
If you want to collect one, do you have to collect countless at the same time?
The only answer Ye Yuan could think of was this.
Otherwise, how to explain the result of failed collection?
Since they cannot be collected, Ye Yuan also needs to find out the number of beetles in the blue hole.
Carefully controlling his senses, he followed the beetle toward the depths of the cave.
This exploration didn't matter. After a full distance of a hundred meters, I saw the end of the beetle.
If calculated in terms of quantity, the number of beetles that Ye Yuancha talked about would be in the millions.
If such a large number of beetles really appeared in the outside world.
Ye Yuan could imagine how big losses Blue Island's fishery would suffer.
It was no longer the time to think about this. At the end of the beetle, Ye Yuan saw an alternative beetle with a blood-red body.
The size of this beetle is obviously larger than those of ordinary beetles.
This red beetle is the size of a washbasin.
At this moment it seems to be in a state similar to hibernation.
And those ordinary beetles were delivering nutrients to him in a way that Ye Yuan couldn't understand.
Ye Yuan didn't know how to describe the scene he saw in front of him.
In short, there is a feeling that these ordinary beetles are using themselves as nourishment, trying to wake up this red beetle.
And the black energy flowing from the bodies of those ordinary beetles is also converging on the body of this red beetle.
Compared with the army of ordinary beetles that can reach hundreds of meters, the red beetles the size of a washbasin are obviously not enough to look at.
But there was endless black liquid that resembled venom.
It's like moving into a bottomless pit.
Being absorbed by this red beetle again.
I thought that was all.
As a result, several more black beetles swam out deeper.
They ignored the feeding black beetles and swam straight towards the exit of the blue hole.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan quickly withdrew his senses, and then found a hidden seaweed place to observe.
He wanted to figure out the movements of these beetles.
Even he doesn't dare to easily disturb the beetles that are feeding them now.
If he was really interrupted and those millions of beetles rushed out, Blue Island would really be in big trouble.
Ye Yuan would not act rashly until he figured out how to deal with these beetles.
Several beetles appear behind the entrance of the Blue Hole.
Just spread out and swim around.
Ye Yuan saw this scene and did not take immediate action.
Instead, the perception is focused on the beetle closest to itself.
Then a thought came to my mind.
The beetle was still swimming at high speed.
It just disappeared into the sea water suddenly.
It was indeed as Ye Yuan had guessed before.
It's not that he can't collect this kind of beetle.
It's because those beetles before were supposed to be connected as a whole by some mysterious force.
This resulted in the inability to collect it all at once.
I believe that as long as the beetles separate, I will still have a way to deal with them.
With this answer, Ye Yuan felt more at ease.
Otherwise, just for those beetles, Ye Yuan would have to consider whether to catch all the fish in the fishing ground first.
Thus reducing losses.
After all, so many beetles rushed out of the blue hole.
It is impossible for our own fishing ground to survive this catastrophe alone.
Not even Ye Yuan.
After all, there are too many.
Thinking about the dense scene before, Ye Yuan shuddered.
But now was not the time for him to think about that.
Now that I know I can deal with individual beetles.
Then Ye Yuan has nothing to worry about.
Now, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke the beetle army in the blue hole.
It should be no problem to deal with some stragglers on the periphery.
Just do it if you think of it.
Ye Yuan swam straight out of the seaweed.
Then he chased in the direction where the beetle disappeared before.
The swimming speed of these beetles is really incredible.
Even if Ye Yuan is far away from them.
But in just a few breaths, he caught up with a lone beetle.
As a result, with a wave of his hand, the beetle disappeared.
The third, the fourth.
Ye Yuan easily collected five beetles.
when he felt the location of the sixth beetle.
But he was amused by the scene in front of him.
Because of this beetle, it's dead.
Moreover, Ye Yuan clearly saw through his perception that he died after eating the seaweed in front of him.
And the whole death process only lasted a few seconds.
It is really unbelievable that this ordinary sea god grass is actually the nemesis of this kind of horse birch ladybug.
The so-called sea god grass is also called Poxidang by some people.
It is a large brown algae distributed in tropical and subtropical waters.
Its stems can be tens of meters long, forming an undersea forest.
The leaves of Poxidang have air sacs that allow them to float on the water and receive light.
Bosidang is an important carbon-fixing plant that can absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide and slow down global warming.
Poxidang is also a habitat and food source for many marine animals.
Such as fish, crustaceans, turtles, etc.
It can be said that this seagrass is one of the most common seagrasses in the ocean.
Ye Yuan would never have thought that such an ordinary seaweed could be the nemesis of this kind of beetle.
And from the effect point of view, it is quite effective in dealing with these beetles.
With this answer, Ye Yuan became more confident.
As a result, when he turned around to chase the next beetle, he found that the beetle was returning towards the blue hole.
Ye Yuan was curious. These bugs obviously came out to eat, so why did they go back so quickly?
In order to understand the situation, Ye Yuan didn't even plan to disturb the beetle.
Instead, he followed it with his senses, trying to figure out the beetle's purpose.
After seeing the beetles return to the blue hole and then bite the tail of the last beetle, Ye Yuan somewhat understood.
But in order to confirm whether his answer was correct, Ye Yuan waited patiently at the entrance of the blue hole again.
As a result, more than an hour later, ten more beetles swam out of the hole.
In order to prove his suspicion.
This time Ye Yuan did nothing.
Instead, he waited quietly at the entrance of the cave.
He wanted to find out whether the beetles that had gone out would come back. (End of chapter)
