Xiang Yang traveled across the seabed, and the scenes along the way could not escape his eyes.
Suddenly, a small sea beast covered with light brown spots appeared in Xiang Yang's sight not far away.
Xiang Yang quickly stopped and looked at the other person with some curiosity.
This sea monster, which is covered with light brown spots, has a very large head and tail and a very short body, which looks very disproportionate.
"A lone tiger shark?"
The tiger shark is a type of shark.
However, compared to other sharks, the tiger shark is too docile.
Like the basking shark, although it does not actively attack humans and is not as brutal and bloodthirsty as the great white shark, it will resist if it is really annoyed.
But the big-tailed tiger shark is different.
The big-tailed tiger shark is not only docile but also very shy. It is simply a scum of the shark family that is synonymous with brutality.
This big-tailed tiger shark is less than two meters long, which is considered extremely small in the shark family.
Xiang Yang swam towards the big-tailed tiger shark curiously.
Before it got close, the big-tailed tiger shark was immediately frightened and hurriedly turned around and fled into the distance.
Xiang Yang was speechless immediately. "You are so timid. You are really embarrassing for the shark."
The big-tailed tiger shark is distributed in tropical and temperate waters of Asia. Although their bodies are short, they are actually good swimmers. They can cross the ocean with their huge tails.
According to the species distribution map drawn by scientists, there is absolutely no tiger shark outside of Asia.
However, the fact is that people have seen tiger sharks in London, Hawaii, northern United States, and southern Australia.
Xiang Yang originally wanted to swim over to observe the big-tailed tiger shark up close and say hello to it.
But this big-tailed tiger shark was very timid. It thought Xiang Yang was going to hurt it, so when it saw Xiang Yang approaching, it immediately turned around and fled into the distance.
Xiang Yang didn't dare to chase after him.
Like other sharks, tiger sharks are highly social creatures. Although this tiger shark is most likely separated from its group, it would be dangerous if it were surrounded by a large group of tiger sharks.
After all, no matter how docile a shark is, it is still a carnivore.
Humpback whales are docile.
If they see a killer whale or a squid, they will immediately go berserk.
Xiang Yang had excellent eyesight. He saw that the big-tailed tiger shark did not run away far, but only swam a few hundred meters away. When it looked back and saw that Xiang Yang did not catch up with it, it immediately stopped, then slowly swam to a scallop that was half the size of Xiang Yang's palm and began to eat.
The main food of the big-tailed tiger shark is mollusks such as starfish and anemones. When hungry, they will also swallow shellfish. They especially like to eat lobsters and crabs.
The mouth of the tiger shark is very small. A two-meter-long tiger shark's mouth is only as big as a teacup when opened, but its teeth are very sharp and can easily chew the shells of lobsters or crabs.
Xiang Yang looked around carefully and confirmed that this was indeed a lone tiger shark.
Xiang Yang decided to swim over and take a look. If possible, he wanted to bring this big-tailed tiger shark back to Qinglongwan.
Although Xiang Yang is currently wearing the most common diving equipment, the diving suit will definitely not be able to withstand the bite of the killer whale's teeth.
But Xiang Yang was not afraid at all.
First of all, Xiang Yang's swimming speed is much faster than that of this big killer whale.
Secondly, according to Xiang Yang's understanding, the big-tailed killer shark is more friendly to humans than dogs and killer whales.
There is no telling how many people have been bitten by dogs.
Although incidents of killer whales attacking humans are rare, they do exist.
There is no record of the tiger shark actively attacking humans.
Of course, it’s proactive.
If the tiger sharks judge human actions as an intention to attack them, they will also resist.
As Xiang Yang approached, he was immediately discovered by the big-tailed tiger shark that was eating leisurely.
The big-tailed tiger shark immediately stopped eating, turned around and dived into the thick and lush seaweed behind it.
There is very lush seaweed under this sea area.
These seaweeds can be several meters long at the shortest and more than ten meters long at the longest, with no end in sight.
Xiang Yang knew that if these seaweeds were caught, they could be eaten directly.
However, Xiang Yang didn't think much about it. These seaweeds were very cheap. If sold wholesale, they could only be sold for a few yuan per pound.
The sea water here is not shallow, it is more than 100 meters deep.
It is extremely difficult to salvage these cheap seaweeds at this depth.
Xiang Yang stopped outside the seaweed and did not go in immediately.
When the big-tailed tiger shark saw that Xiang Yang did not chase into the seaweed, it also stopped and hid at the edge of the seaweed, secretly looking at Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang burst out laughing. "The information says that the tiger shark is not only docile, but also very shy. Apparently it's true."
If it were a great white shark, it would probably have opened its bloody mouth and pounced on Xiang Yang.
Xiang Yang stood at the edge of the seaweed, looking at the big-tailed tiger shark with a smile.
Xiang Yang discovered that since obtaining the mysterious jade shell, many marine creatures have been particularly close to it, especially the higher the level and the more intelligent the marine creatures. Xiang Yang is waiting for the big-tailed tiger shark to swim out by itself.
As a result, Xiang Yang still underestimated the courage of the big-tailed tiger shark.
It hid in the seaweed and quietly looked at Xiang Yang for a while. Seeing that Xiang Yang did not leave, it quietly retreated and swam towards the more lush seaweed.
Xiang Yang was suddenly helpless.
This big-tailed tiger shark is nearly two meters long. With such a big size, if it is unwilling to follow Xiang Yang, Xiang Yang really has no way to deal with it.
Even though Xiang Yang's strength had increased significantly after being transformed by the mysterious jade shell, there was no way that he could swim back to Qinglongwan holding a two-meter-long fish.
At this time, Xiang Yang's gaze fell on a seaweed root that was more than ten meters long.
There, there was a palm-sized swimming crab, waving its claws and gnawing at the roots of the seaweed bit by bit.
Xiang Yang immediately swam towards the swimming crab, pressed down with his right hand from just above the swimming crab, held down the crab's back, then pinched its shell with three fingers and grabbed it in his hand.
The big-tailed tiger shark seemed to be very frightened when it saw Xiang Yang "hunting". It didn't even dare to retreat. It crawled at the bottom of the lush seaweed and hid itself completely.
But Xiang Yang saw the big-tailed tiger shark at a glance.
Xiang Yang proudly raised the swimming crab in his hand, and then threw it towards the big-tailed tiger shark.
The swimming crab drew a parabola in the sea water and finally landed right in front of the big-tailed tiger shark.
Suddenly, the big-tailed tiger shark got furious, and it jumped up from its original position, swinging its big tail rapidly. It disappeared from the spot in a flash and dived into the deeper part of the more lush seaweed.
