Xiang Yang: “…”
Chen Qingsheng patted Fang Youqun's head and said, "Do you think this is a divine beast? And it can even heal scars. Hurry and get this fish into the freezer."
"Let me try, can this thing really remove the scar?" Fang Youqun pouted unhappily, then called on the crew to drag the sunfish weighing more than two tons back into the freezer.
Xiang Yang watched the sunfish being carried away by the crew and continued to stare into the fishing net.
Among a pile of gray squids and octopuses, Xiang Yang suddenly seemed to see a red and white object that looked like a stick.
"Hey, what is this?" Xiang Yang hurried over and removed an octopus weighing more than ten kilograms that was covering the thing.
After the octopus pressing on the thing was removed, the thing actually moved quickly towards Xiang Yang's palm.
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows, then grabbed the red and white stick-like creature with his backhand and lifted it up.
"Fuck!"
Xia Pengjie, who happened to be looking at this, was startled and exclaimed, "Killer crab."
"It's a spider crab." Chen Qingsheng glanced at Xia Pengjie unhappily, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're really too timid. How could you be scared like this by a crab?"
Xia Pengjie wiped his forehead and said, "This crab is really too big. I was scared when I first saw it."
The killer crab, also known as the giant spider crab, is one of the largest crustaceans in the world. King crabs and emperor crabs are all weak in front of it.
The killer crab is the uncrowned king of crabs. The shell of the largest killer crab can grow to the size of a car tire. The most important thing is that its legs are very long. One leg may be nearly two meters long. If the two symmetrical legs on both sides are straightened, including the crab shell, the length may exceed four meters.
What Xiang Yang is holding in his hand is a long leg of this killer crab. The shell of this killer crab is only the size of a car steering wheel, but its leg is more than one meter long.
Xiang Yang grabbed one of its legs, but instead of struggling to escape, it used that leg as a guide and quickly clamped its two large pincers towards Xiang Yang.
But how could Xiang Yang be caught so easily by this killer crab when he was on guard
Xiang Yang just grabbed the killer crab's leg and flicked it lightly, turning its whole body over.
"Be careful, Captain." Xia Pengjie said sweatily, "Although the two claws of the killer crab are not big, they are as strong as iron claws, and they are very sensitive. If they clamp your bones, they may break."
Xiang Yang nodded to show that he understood.
In fact, Xiang Yang knows more about the killer crab than Xia Pengjie.
The killer crab's two claws seem very powerful. It can attack at will within a surrounding area of 16 square meters, and the fish that pass by it quickly with its claws out can rarely escape its big claws.
But to professional fishermen, the claws of any crab pose no threat.
What really allows a killer crab to kill a fisherman is its sharp mouth.
The killer crab's big mouth is equipped with five pairs of modified legs. Those five pairs of legs are like ten sharp fruit knives, which can immediately cut into pieces any creature that approaches.
If it weren't for the five pairs of modified legs, the spider crab would never have been called a killer crab. Although its legs are long and its pincers are very strong, its movements are very inflexible and slow because its legs are too long. Especially after getting out of the water, if any of its legs is caught by fishermen, they will be at the mercy of others.
As for the killer crab shown in the movie, its eight legs can not only crawl very fast, but also jump up and knock fishermen to the ground in one go
This is bullshit.
Xiang Yang had been dealing with the ocean since he was a child, but he had never seen a jumping crab, nor had he ever heard of one.
"Captain," Chen Qingsheng asked, "Should this killer crab also be refrigerated or placed in the live water tank?"
"Get a rope first." Xiang Yang said, "Whether it is placed in the freezer or in the water tank, this killer crab must be tied up first, otherwise it will really kill people."
To see how ferocious the killer crab is, just look at how it was flipped over by Xiang Yang, and then it immediately flipped back and attacked Xiang Yang again.
Scientists speculate that this type of crab may be an ordinary crab that was born after undergoing drastic mutation due to the influence of deep-sea nuclear waste. As their size grows larger, their temperament becomes more brutal and violent.
Chen Qingsheng's heart tightened and he hurried to get the rope.
soon.
Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng personally tied up the killer crab tightly.
Xiang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, he was also worried. After all, the name of the killer crab was not just for fun, it had really killed people.
Killer crabs often float to the surface silently, revealing a pair of periscope-like eyes to patrol the sea surface. They have vibrator organs in their bodies that can sense objects moving on the sea surface. When they sense someone appearing nearby, they will attack the person. They will first use their pincers to drag the person into the water, and then quickly bite off the person's neck with their sharp mouth.
At their craziest, killer crabs will even crawl onto the beach at low tide and attack any living thing within sight.
The earliest recorded murder by a killer crab occurred in the seaside tourist area of Osaka in our neighboring country. At that time, the famous director Yamato was on his honeymoon with his wife on the sea ice. While sunbathing on the beach, a killer crab clamped Yamato's shoulder and dragged him into the water. He was dead in less than a minute.
"It was a close call." Xiang Yang threw the swimming crab into a transparent water tank filled with water, then closed the lid of the water tank tightly and locked it. He then said, "I didn't expect to catch a killer crab with the net. Fortunately, I spotted it with my sharp eyes, otherwise it would have been a disaster."
Xia Pengjie nodded desperately. He was really scared just now.
Chen Qingsheng said, "I am also standing next to the fish pile, Captain. Next time you find a killer crab, let me come."
Xiang Yang shook his head. "As long as the killer crab is discovered, it's not dangerous. The only thing to worry about is that we fail to discover it when cleaning the catch. It's like a poisonous snake. Once it gets a chance, no one will be able to eat it."
After thinking for a moment, Xiang Yang said, "For safety reasons, every time after the net is pulled up, someone must wear protective clothing to sweep away the catch, and then clean it up bit by bit."
Chen Qingsheng immediately nodded carefully.
Seeing that everyone looked cautious, Xiang Yang changed his tone and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid. As long as you protect yourself properly, these marine predators are not too dangerous after leaving the water."
