Hungry?

It's easy to say.

Daddy takes you to a buffet!

The magnificent and colorful coral reefs have suitable water temperature and abundant food. They are a marine life paradise and are also a buffet restaurant in Qin Song's eyes.

In order to prevent himself from scaring away most of the fish and shrimps, Qin Song stayed on the periphery of the coral reef base, waved his stout tentacles forward, and issued an order: "Go, Pikachu!"

The group of colorful little cuties swam out immediately, and the tail wing and swimming foot exerted force, quickly sneaking into the coral reef group.

The aberrant creatures nurtured by the body, and Qin Song have unique telepathy. As long as they sink into their minds, they can clearly feel where they are and what they are doing.

For example, now, a petite mantis shrimp broke into the territory of a group of small butterfly fish, released its hunting instinct, sneaked into the coral cracks and waited for the rabbit.

In less than half a minute, an unlucky guy passed by leisurely. The mantis shrimp was not small, but it was amazingly fast. It instantly emerged from the gap, fully demonstrating the tactical qualities of a professional boxer. He punched out with a simple and rough straight punch, hitting the coral fish's head.

In an instant, a pit fell into the head of the coral fish, and its eyes exploded instantly. Before they could turn over, they were caught by the mantis shrimp and dragged into the crack of the rock.

What is efficiency? This is efficiency!

The sight shifted to the other side, and the two mantis shrimps fought side by side, one in front and the other behind, beating a huge scallop wildly. The mantis shrimp after being distorted, although it is not big in size, its strength is even stronger than usual mantis shrimps.

The hard shells of the scallops were quickly broken, revealing their delicate flesh for them to feast on.

However, the larvae of mantis shrimp is still too small, so the targets chosen for predation are mostly small fish on the seabed, such as spotted perch, squid, parrotfish, crescent snapper, etc., as well as shellfish of all sizes.

Looking at the group of mantis shrimps reincarnated by starving ghosts, Qin Song felt a sense of relief like an old father.

Little baby, grow up soon.

Dad still needs you to stay at home.

Not long after the first wave of mantis shrimps were released to prey, the second aberration cyst matured, and its size was not much different from that of the mantis shrimps. After a brief play, it was placed in the coral reef group to prey on its own.

Until the third aberration cyst matured, Qin Song was given a small surprise.

Elite distortion!

This wave is the largest leopard-print mantis shrimp (scientific name, Spotted Pin Mantis shrimp). One of them stands out from the crowd as soon as it was born. Not only is the size one third larger than the other friends, but it has even undergone a wonderful change. The head and chest are particularly developed, almost twice the size of the others. As a weapon, the chevron is pitch black in color, the narrow blade is extremely huge, and the size of a little finger.

The elite distortion seems to have the aura of the elder brother. Those little brothers born to the compatriots will not surround Qin Song aimlessly, but will follow the boss neatly, quite disciplined.

In order to test the wisdom of the elite monster, Qin Song specially asked the elder brother, Mantis shrimp to execute some simple instructions, such as swimming forward, swimming backward, stopping, rolling, digging mud and sand, etc.

The result was gratifying. The elder brother, the mantis shrimp, could complete it smoothly, and even the younger brothers imitated its movements. However, if the more complicated instructions are, like the three hundred and six degrees in the field and the Thomas circling, it is impossible to understand.

However, this is enough for Qin Song.

After the 'food' order was issued, the boss and a group of younger brothers lined up in an orderly queue and swam into the coral reefs to enjoy a buffet meal.

Qin Song deliberately observed their predation behavior and was surprised to find that this group of elite mantis shrimps did not want the two waves to fight on their own by instinct just now, but formed a combat team with the boss as the core.

Their targets for prey are much larger.

For example, the first predation target - a moray eel that was huddled in the cracks of the rock, was as thick as a child's arms and half a meter long.

This group of mantis shrimps first sneaked into the rock crack under the command of their elder brother, and then lie around the exit. As soon as the moray eels emerged, they rushed up neatly. After a blow, the moray eels' heads were almost no longer their heads, and they were directly hammered and cool.

Eating is also very interesting. My elder brother took the first bite first, and then the younger brothers gathered around and started to enjoy it.

Organized and disciplined.

The efficiency of group fights is much higher than that of single fights.

This is the charm of the elite.

It’s a pity that only one of the thirty hatched out, and the proportion is really not high.

The little babies are preying on the coral reefs and grow up. Qin Song is like a parent who just sent his child to kindergarten, and is a little worried. After all, they have strong attack power, but they are too small. If they meet some fierce guy, it is not impossible to swallow one in one bite.

However, the facts proved that his concerns were a bit redundant. This group of distorted mantis shrimps was much smarter than he thought. They were small in size and had the advantages of being small in size. They could easily shuttle through the narrow coral group and use various bunkers. Most of them were ambush battles. They took advantage of the advantage of fast speed and attacked hard, with one blow.

Of course, this is closely related to the habit of mantis shrimps that like to ambush and raid.

After observing for a while, he was basically relieved. Qin Song returned to his comfortable nest with a swagger and prepared for the next wave of recruits.

New aberrant cysts take one day to grow again. In addition, yesterday and today, the production time of a wave of recruits is basically three days, each wave is thirty, with an average of 10 a day.

Compared with the sea monsters that rush to land on the beach like a tide in the Principality of Vanden, it is naturally not enough to see. Therefore, the best choice is to develop in a timely manner. In order to form a scale as soon as possible, it is best not to expose it before a certain scale is formed.

This bird's guano island has extremely high economic value. The first batch of pippi shrimp legions can not only obtain sufficient food to grow in the coral reefs, but also temporarily act as a guardian of the island.

The little babies' eating activities in the coral bushes are much more crazy than normal mantis shrimps. They almost either prey or eat endlessly on the way to prey.

This abnormal appetite also leads to a phenomenon - molting.

The calcified shells of crustaceans cannot grow. As their size increases, the old shells must be shedded. The distorted mantis shrimps have not escaped this limitation. In addition, their strong appetite, shedded shells naturally occur.

The first one to shed the shell was the elite mantis shrimp. Under the escort of his younger brother, he hid in the cracks of the rocks. After a difficult struggle, he broke out from the old shell and his body size increased by nearly one-third. The new shell was more bright and heavier than the previous shell.

After the carapace has been hardened, it begins to prey again.

Then the remaining larvae of mantis shrimps were successfully molted one after another, and their body size increased accordingly. Basically, the first molt ended. Except for the elite mantis shrimp, the other larvae had a body length of about 6 cm.

However, things were even more exaggerated than Qin Song imagined.

A huge amount of nutrient intake in a short period of time leads to extremely fast growth and high frequency of molting. Basically, after eating three to four times, juvenile bodies begin to molt and grow.

On average, it molts nearly ten times a day. You should know that lobsters usually molt once every 2-4 days. The distortion is nearly 20-40 times that of them.

By dusk, all the little babies had undergone tremendous changes. Each of them was nearly 40 cm in size, much larger than the adult mantis shrimp, with an average increase of 2-3 cm each time they molted.

And the elite mantis shrimp, which was unique from birth, was more than half a meter long and as long as an adult's arms. The huge sickle was almost as close to the sickle used for harvest.

This molting will increase as the body shape increases and slows down. For example, the last molting of the elite mantis shrimp requires 8 feeds.

Nowadays, each mantis shrimp can independently fight against large fish. However, as the appendage increases, the energy consumed by each punch increases geometrically exponentially. The resistance encountered in punch increases, and the speed slows down, but the strength increases significantly. Overall, the attack frequency decreases, but the attack strength increases.

In just one day, a team of 29 mantis shrimps with a body length of 40 cm and a body length of half a meter were basically formed. But in the vast ocean, in front of giant creatures of several meters or dozens of meters, forty or fifty centimeters can only be regarded as children.

It is enough to deal with fish swimming in the coral reef group, but it is far from enough to deal with whale sharks and the like. But this is also worthy of being happy because the specialty of this group of shrimps is really terrifying.

Big lobsters of the same size and even larger spider crabs are definitely not their opponents. Their powerful power and super fast attack speed make them all rampant shoal bullies.

In Qin Song's plan, the first line of defense to be established is the shallow line. The ocean is too big, especially the deep sea, which is far away and does not know the boundaries, not only tens of millions of miles, but no matter how much troops are invested, it will sink to the sea.

However, the coastline has a length, and relying on the establishment of land defense lines, we can rely on each other and firmly defend our positions while compressing the other's space.

Take every step forward and take steady steps.

In the next few days, Qin Song focused on living in the sea around Hot Island, devoted himself to cultivating his Pipi Shrimp Legion.

...

"Shameful failure!"

Deepwater City, Doling Cathedral.

In the magnificent hall, there is a long table covered with red tablecloths, which are filled with gold cups and silver plates, various wines, food, and pastries.

At one end of the long table was a lady in a pearl dress with a cold face. She was the Imperial Princess and the Temple Knight Vanessa Reinhardt.
