Chapter 103 (2/2)
However, gooseneck barnacles still have natural enemies, that is, seagulls, sea elves that can cross in the wind and waves.
Behind the chemical plant is the steep coastline. The ground is six or seven meters away from the sea. Under it, the jagged rocks stretch into a line, which looks extremely dangerous.
When the wind blows, the waves hit the coast and make a loud noise. Sometimes when you look down, you can feel the ice cold of the sea water on your face.
Gooseneck barnacles live on the rocks below. In addition, some live on the coast. Today, shack and sea monsters are targeting these gooseneck barnacles growing on the rocks.
Shaq found a maple tree, tied a rope and said, ”can you see those things like horse teeth? It's gray white. It looks ugly. Delicious things are generally not very beautiful. Don't underestimate it. ”
More than a dozen seagulls took advantage of the gap between the surging waves to find opportunities to peck the barnacles attached to the reef. Although the barnacles are protected by hard plate shells, they have a very deadly living habit, that is, when the water flows through them, the shell cover will open and extend feathered tentacles from the inside to filter the plankton in the water.
In this way, the rolling waves created an illusion to them. When the waves beat up, they thought the tide was high, so they quickly opened their back shells to prey. But the waves fell quickly, so that they had no time to close their backs, and the seagulls seized the opportunity to peck.
Although the success rate of seagulls is not high, the delicious barnacles make them willing to work hard. As long as they prey on two barnacles, they can have a full meal.
The snow-white seagulls chirp. They bravely cross the waves and sea water, dive and peck again and again, and don't leave until they are full. Of course, if they can't peck for several times in a row, they will also leave.
Seagulls are very smart. They know that they have poor endurance and will not waste their energy on catching a kind of food. If this road is impassable, change the way. This is their predation strategy.
Like Shaq, Nelson also found a tree and tied the rope. At the same time, he explained: ”in the past, those damn chemical plant owners regarded the waters here as their private property. These dogs, raised by Niang, didn't allow us to catch horse teeth. I haven't tasted such delicious food for several years.”
They were busy. Another car came. It was Hughes's Buick Grand Hyatt. When they got off the car, Hughes smiled and said, ”you're really in time. You came just after the rain stopped?”
Qin Shiou said hello to Hughes and looked down from the coast. There were layers of gooseneck barnacles on the reef below. They looked like the claws of monsters. I don't know how people in farewell town would feel that they were like horse teeth.
Gooseneck barnacles have a strong reproductive ability. There are hundreds or thousands of them on the reef. If people with dense phobia see them, they will definitely vomit.
After tying the rope, Shaq and Nelson began to move slowly down the reef. The sea monster grabbed Shaq's rope and told Qin Shiou, ”boss, grab Nelson's rope and pay attention to his position. If there are waves coming, pull the rope vigorously and try not to let them be hit by the waves!”
Boris's four children are divided into two teams. Boris and Shirley follow Qin Shiou, while Gordon and Michelle help the sea monster.
The tiger and leopard also followed. The little guy ran to the shore, grabbed the rope, put his tail in his ass, and pulled back gnashing his teeth.
The spiral rise of heating has driven the ocean wind and waves. In the past, the calm sea surface has become particularly turbulent. The sea water is constantly blown up by the wind and waves and withdrawn into the sea. The sea level is at least two meters lower than before, exposing the gooseneck barnacles usually hidden in the sea water.
Qin Shiou made an 'OK' gesture to Shaq, put on gloves and arm guards, and grabbed the rope.
Nelson jumped down to the shore like a frog man, and the whaling knife bit between his teeth. He saw the opportunity. When a big wave fell, he immediately jumped to the place where the gooseneck barnacle was nearest to him, took out the whaling knife and inserted it between the barnacle and the reef.
”Open it for me!” Nelson snapped, pulled down a gooseneck barnacle with a length of 14.5 cm, quickly stuffed it into his satchel, then aimed at the next one and pulled the knife in again.
