"This is simply a PUBG player with a built-in ghillie suit."
Xiang Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed the leaf sea dragon into his palm.
The leafy sea dragon looks super cool. If you pull out its leaf-like appendages, it will look exactly like the dragon in Chinese mythology and legends.
However, compared with the dragon in mythology and legends, the leaf sea dragon is really just a show-off.
The dragon in mythology and legends, breathing out clouds and mist and turning rivers and seas upside down, is a symbol of strength and power.
The Leaf Sea Dragon is a creature as fragile as a leaf. Not only does it have no self-defense ability, it also has extremely poor mobility. The only way to protect itself is to hide.
Some people say that the most cunning creature in the world is the player in the chicken game. He picks up two bottles of medicine when he lands and then lies in the grass from the beginning to the end. As long as he is discovered by others, the game is almost over.
In fact, the leafy sea dragon is an even more cunning creature.
The leafy sea dragon is not content to hide in the seaweed, so it uses its leaf-like appendages to camouflage itself, pretending that it is also a seaweed.
Leafy sea dragons disguise themselves as seaweed not to wait for an opportunity to hunt, but simply to avoid being discovered by prey or natural enemies.
In order to better hide itself, leafy sea dragons will look for hidden reefs or dense seaweed as their habitat.
In addition, the leaf sea dragon has an ability similar to that of a chameleon. The leaf sea dragon can also change its own color according to the color of the surrounding environment.
However, the leaf sea dragon's ability to change color is not as advanced as that of the chameleon.
Chameleons can change their color immediately according to the surrounding environment whenever they arrive in an environment.
Leafy sea dragons can only present different shades of color, ranging from bush green to yellow-brown, depending on the surrounding environment.
Xiang Yang held the leaf sea dragon and looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly laughed. He found that the leaf sea dragon was not like the dragon in myths and legends, but it was actually a seahorse with "leaves" on its body.
In fact, the leaf sea dragon is a close relative of the seahorse. In addition to its appearance, the leaf sea dragon's living habits and eating habits are also similar to those of the seahorse, except that the leaf sea dragon's body is larger and it knows how to hide better.
Like the one Xiang Yang is holding in his hand now, it is nearly half a meter long.
What is very interesting is that Xiang Yang grabbed the leaf sea dragon with both hands, but the leaf sea dragon did not struggle at all, as if it was dead.
When the other leaf sea dragons near Xiang Yang saw their companion being captured, they did not panic and run away. They continued to sway gracefully with the seaweed, which was very beautiful.
Xiang Yang smiled, perhaps these leaf sea dragons were very confident in their hiding skills.
Indeed, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to find the Leafy Sea Dragon among the seaweed, because the Leafy Sea Dragon's camouflage ability is so strong that it can only reveal its whereabouts when it moves its two eyeballs that can move independently.
However, this time they met Xiang Yang, who was carrying a mysterious jade shell. In Xiang Yang's eyes, their hiding skills were like a scanning microscope.
"What lovely sea elves." Xiang Yang smiled and let go of the leaf sea dragon in his hand.
The leafy sea dragon was still playing dead, floating slowly into the seaweed in a free-falling posture.
In Australia, the leafy sea dragon is a star animal that everyone pays attention to, and the South Australian Oceanarium also has a leafy sea dragon in its exhibition.
Leafy sea dragons also appeared in a set of marine life commemorative coins issued by Australia in 2010.
However, in China, the Leaf Sea Dragon is not very valuable. It is neither a mainstream ornamental fish nor an edible marine animal.
Compared with the leafy sea dragon, Xiang Yang would rather encounter the leafy sea dragon's fellow species, the grassy sea dragon.
The weedy sea dragon is also a member of the sea dragon family, and it is much more beautiful than the leafy sea dragon.
The body of the weedy sea dragon extends into several sparse leaf-like appendages, and the body color is very beautiful, with red being the mainstream and purple being the rarest. There are also yellow or spotted colors, and some have royal blue stripes on their bodies. No matter what color it is, it is a very valuable ornamental fish.
Unfortunately, although no one knew why there were leaf sea dragons in this sea area, Xiang Yang did not find any grass sea dragons.
In fact, even if he found a weed sea dragon, Xiang Yang would not catch it.
The name of the weedy sea dragon is famous all over the world and it is even designated as the marine symbol of Victoria.
It was precisely because of their fame that they suffered a devastating disaster.
In the early years, countless wealthy people at home and abroad were crazy about pursuing the Weedy Sea Dragon, driving up its value to the sky.
Due to the huge market demand, countless fishermen have been frantically catching weedy sea dragons. In addition, weedy sea dragons like to stay still, so they are often easy to catch. Over the years, few divers have been able to spot weedy sea dragons, including in the southern waters of Australia. The World Conservation Organization has listed weedy sea dragons as red endangered species.
Xiang Yang let the group of leaf sea dragons go and continued searching for other catches.
If the ocean is the cradle of life, then the seaweed is the milk powder in the cradle. In this endless seaweed, there are countless marine creatures hiding. The most common ones are crabs and lobsters. These two creatures can be seen almost everywhere in this endless seaweed. Their figures can be found almost everywhere, and each one is extremely fat.
The second largest group is the squids that almost dominate the entire ocean, and they also account for a large proportion.
The number of remaining marine life is relatively small, and Xiang Yang has not found any groups of them yet.
A huge crab, as big as an adult man's palm, was lying at the bottom of a cluster of seaweed, holding an oyster with one of its big claws and constantly tearing pieces of meat from the oyster with the other claw and feeding it into its mouth.
Xiang Yang swam over in a flash, pressed down from above, grabbed the tail of the crab shell, and threw it into the net bag at his waist.
This swimming crab weighs at least half a pound. It tastes very fresh and has very plump meat. It is a top-notch seafood delicacy.
Then Xiang Yang caught a few swimming crabs of similar size, and found a rock lobster weighing more than a pound from under a reef, filling the net bag.
Xiang Yang had already filled the first net with fish and was about to return to the deck. At this time, Fang Youqun's group had finally had enough fun with the killer whales, and they all remembered their business and swam quickly towards the depths of the sea.
Halfway through, Xiang Yang met the crew members who were diving.
When the crew saw Xiang Yang, they lowered their heads in embarrassment, not daring to look at his eyes hidden behind his helmet.
Xiang Yang didn't mean to blame anyone. He gestured with his hands for a while, indicating that there were a lot of fish below, and urged everyone to go down quickly.
