This squid was bigger than the one Xiang Yang saw when he last caught a French blue dragon, and it was intact.
Such a huge monster is very difficult for Xiang Yang to deal with.
The giant squid is the largest known invertebrate on Earth. Adult giant squids have almost no natural enemies and even dare to attack the most ferocious tiger sharks.
"I've encountered this tough guy again." Xiang Yang had a headache. Giant squids are not easy to deal with. They are even the mortal enemy of whales. Marine biologists have found traces of whales fighting with giant squids on many whales.
The deep sea is too mysterious to humans, and there are many secrets about the deep sea that humans cannot yet discover.
Scientifically speaking, whales should not eat giant squids because they do not have throats big enough to swallow them. Giant squids should also not eat whales because they do not have an appetite big enough to prey on whales.
However, this is not the case. After dissecting whales and giant squids, scientists discovered that both whales and giant squids are actually on each other's diet.
Giant squids and whales are natural enemies of each other. When the two meet, a big fight is bound to break out. The winner will eat the loser, especially sperm whales like to eat squid.
Each tentacle of the squid in front of Xiang Yang was more than two meters long, and with its head, its body length was definitely more than three meters. It was obviously unrealistic to deal with such a giant squid by force, and he had to use his wits to defeat it.
Xiang Yang slowly stepped back, he wanted to go back to the fishing boat and fetch a knife.
The main means of attack of the squid is to use its tentacles to slap and wrap around the opponent and to spray ink containing anesthetic effects to anesthetize the opponent.
The anesthetic effect is not terrible. Generally, creatures that are large enough can resist the anesthetic effect of squid ink. However, it is difficult for marine creatures to resist the beating of squid tentacles. Especially after being entangled by the squid's tentacles, most marine creatures often become helpless at the mercy of the squid.
Humans are obviously not among the vast majority of creatures that remain at the mercy of squids once entangled, because humans use weapons to extend their attack range or increase their attack capabilities.
The squid's tentacles are very strong and can withstand the prey's great struggles, but they cannot withstand the sharp edges of a knife.
If you are entangled by a squid, you can immediately cut off one of its tentacles with a sharp knife.
Xiang Yang, who was about to go back to the fishing boat to get a knife, suddenly looked happy after swimming on the seabed for a while. He saw two huge humpback whales.
The two humpback whales were like two happy elves. Their huge bodies, like isolated islands, were now like two cheerful children, constantly chasing each other in the deep sea. These were exactly the two humpback whales that Xiang Yang met on the sea yesterday.
"I didn't expect these two big guys would chase my fishing boat all the way here." Xiang Yang showed a smile on his face and swam quickly towards the two humpback whales.
The two humpback whales that were playing saw Xiang Yang pause, and confusion was clearly visible in their big eyes.
"Have you forgotten me so quickly?" Xiang Yang took off the hood and breathing mask on his diving suit and waved to the two humpback whales.
The two humpback whales immediately recognized Xiang Yang. The female whale swam happily to Xiang Yang, lifted Xiang Yang's body with her head and then rushed towards the sea surface, while the male whale chased closely behind the female whale.
“Wow!”
Two humpback whales surfaced, and the male whale leaped out of the water like a flying bird. The huge noise it made startled the crew on the nearby fishing boat.
"What's going on?" Fang Youqun stood up hurriedly and ran towards the side of the ship.
Many crew members made the same move as Fang Youqun.
After seeing the true appearance of the two humpback whales, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "It turned out that the two humpback whales had caught up with us. I thought we had encountered some sea monster!"
"Hey, isn't that the captain standing on that humpback whale?"
“It seems to be true!”
"Captain!" a crew member immediately shouted.
Xiang Yang heard the shouting from the deck and waved towards the fishing boat with a smile.
"Captain, please let the two whales swim closer. I want to play on the back of the whale too." Fang Youqun shouted loudly.
Xiang Yang smiled and ignored it.
Fang Youqun immediately refused to do it, climbed up the side of the boat and was about to jump into the sea, shouting, "Captain, wait for me, I will come to protect your safety."
"Don't run, kid." A crew member behind Fang Youqun immediately grabbed him and said, "You're going to lose this game, where are you going to run?"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Yesterday, Fang Youqun didn't dare to go up to clean the barnacles, but today he wanted to jump into the sea when he saw a whale. It's not that he has become braver, but that he was about to lose the hand and was preparing to cheat.
Xiang Yang ignored the deck.
After patting the head of the female humpback whale beneath him, Xiang Yang put on his hood and breathing mask again, and jumped over the humpback whale's head into the ocean.
The two humpback whales were immediately anxious. They had just been thrown off by Xiang Yang yesterday and thought that Xiang Yang was going to throw them off again today, so they quickly followed Xiang Yang and dived into the seabed.
The female humpback whale repeated its old trick and started to float up when it swam to the bottom of Xiang Yang, as if it wanted to carry Xiang Yang out of the sea again.
Xiang Yang smiled and swam slowly towards the straight-shelled Nautilus. When the female humpback whale floated to where Xiang Yang was and was about to surface, Xiang Yang accelerated to avoid the female humpback whale and then continued to slow down and swim forward.
Xiang Yang was unwilling to use a knife himself to solve problems that could be solved by asking others to do so. It was simply too bloody and violent.
The female humpback whale was dodged by Xiang Yang, and sank into the deep sea again in disbelief.
The result is self-evident. Xiang Yang's swimming speed is far beyond the reach of a humpback whale.
The man and the two whales chased each other and swam to the vicinity of the ancient straight-shell nautilus.
Xiang Yang stopped and looked at the straight-shell nautilus again. He felt like putting his hands on his hips and laughing three times.
Not to mention that it was just a giant squid that occupied the Nautilus shell. Even if the straight-shelled Nautilus was resurrected, Xiang Yang would not dare to fight it with the two humpback whales following behind it.
Seeing Xiang Yang stop, the two humpback whales suddenly became happy. They swam to Xiang Yang and kept touching him with their heads. They now probably knew that Xiang Yang didn't want to be carried to the surface of the sea by them, so they didn't force him anymore.
Xiang Yang first touched the huge heads of the two humpback whales, and then slowly walked towards the straight-shelled nautilus under the puzzled gazes of the two humpback whales.
The giant squid that drove away the "invaders" was resting in the "house" at this time.
Seeing Xiang Yang, the "invader", appear in its territory again, the giant squid became furious and quickly drilled out of the straight-shelled nautilus with its dancing tentacles.
