Xiang Yang is not interested in these self-heating hot pots and the like. To be honest, in Xiang Yang's opinion, these things have no other features except convenience. The taste is average and there is no nutrition at all. At most, they can satisfy the appetite.
However, Fang Youqun and other young crew members were very interested in these things.
As soon as Gao Chuang finished speaking, Fang Youqun strolled into the tent and took out a clay pot rice.
It is a box that is slightly larger than the bucket of instant noodles. After opening it, there is a small bag of polished rice, a bag of purified water, a heating pack, and a small bag of braised dishes.
It is indeed convenient to use.
Tear open the refined rice and braised food packages, put them together, pour in purified water, and then add a little water to the heating bag. In less than ten minutes, a clay pot rice will be ready.
Fang Youqun was shouting like a bumpkin the whole time, as if he was afraid that others didn't know that it was his first time to eat this kind of self-heating food.
Xiang Yang felt embarrassed watching this, so he simply turned his head away and continued watching the seal.
At this time, the Antarctic sea wolf seal had already eaten the unfortunate seabird clean, but it did not seem to be full. It was licking its lips and moving its body clumsily, constantly searching for its next target.
But the seabirds are not stupid. Especially after learning the bloody lesson from the unlucky seabird before them, the other seabirds all stay away from the Antarctic snow wolf and snow leopard.
The Antarctic snow wolf and snow leopard tried hard for a long time, but failed to catch even a single bird feather. Instead, they were exhausted and had to give up.
“Bang!”
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the sea.
Xiang Yang quickly turned his head and looked at the sea.
I saw a several-meter-long tiger shark jumping high out of the sea, and then falling heavily onto the sea, creating a huge snow-white wave.
"What's going on?" Xiang Yang quickly stood up and asked loudly.
The crew members looked at each other.
"I don't know. We didn't pay much attention to the sea just now." A crew member replied.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, another larger tiger shark jumped high out of the water.
This time, Xiang Yang saw clearly that on the ground where the tiger shark was biting, there was a strange fish that was completely black and had a hideous face.
"It turns out that a viperfish has appeared." Xiang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one from the fleet fell into the sea, it would not be a big deal.
Gao Chuang put down the self-heating hot pot box and said solemnly, "It turned out to be a viperfish. I wonder if it is the same group of viperfish we encountered in the New Zealand waters."
Viperfish are a very ferocious marine fish. They travel in groups in the ocean and will attack any fish, even sharks. They can be found in almost all sea areas in the world except the northern Indian Ocean.
Xiang Yang could clearly see through the water surface a large group of viperfish fighting with the group of tiger sharks at the bottom of the water.
The tiger shark's fighting power is extremely high. It only needs one bite to tear a viperfish into two pieces, and a large area of the surrounding sea water is dyed red with blood.
But there were too many viperfish, densely packed in a large group on the seabed, and each one was fearless of death. They attacked the tiger shark from all directions.
Often, after a tiger shark kills a viperfish, the tiger shark will be bitten by several viperfish on its fins, belly, back, and tail at the same time.
The two tiger sharks that jumped out of the water earlier were because they were bitten by viperfish and were in unbearable pain, so they jumped out of the water to shake off the viperfish that were biting them.
“Pah.”
At this time, a viperfish about 30 centimeters long was thrown out of the water and onto the shore by a tiger shark.
A group of people immediately retreated in fear.
Fang Youqun, who was holding a clay pot rice, took a look at the viperfish still jumping on the ice, and immediately felt that the clay pot rice in his hand was not delicious. "Damn, why is this fish so ugly? It really affects my appetite."
Xiang Yang also looked at the viperfish that was thrown out of the water.
Well, it's ugly indeed.
Not only is it ugly, its grotesque appearance is even a little scary.
The viperfish that kept jumping on the ice had a slender body and was not big in size. It looked like a pitch-black sea snake.
But its head is very big.
Not only does it have a big head, it also has big eyes and a big mouth.
Its pair of black eyes were still flashing a chilling light.
"It's really ugly." Fang Youqun simply couldn't find words to describe the ugliness of the viperfish's appearance. It looked like a scavenger without fins or bone spurs, except that its mouth was bigger than that of a scavenger.
"It's normal. It's a deep-water cold-water fish. It can be killed by seawater of normal temperature. Under the terrifying pressure of the deep sea, it is already very good to be able to grow into this appearance." Xiang Yang thought of another uglier sea fish called blobfish.
Compared to the blobfish, which looks like an irregular pool of rotten meat, the viperfish at least has its own inherent shape.
Of course, the viperfish is really ugly.
Because the viperfish's lower jaw has some short whiskers and is longer than the upper jaw, and the viperfish has a mouth full of sharp fangs, the viperfish's mouth cannot be closed, and its sharp fangs are always exposed outside the mouth for a long time.
"Look at its teeth." Xiang Yang said.
A group of people quickly looked into the viperfish's mouth.
"Hey, this fish's teeth are so strange. They are not symmetrical up and down." Fang Youqun said in surprise.
"Yes, the teeth of viperfish are not symmetrical. It has only four teeth on its upper jaw, but countless fangs on its lower jaw. These long and sharp teeth look like the teeth of venomous snakes, so the viperfish is also called viper fish." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
The viperfish looks ugly, thanks in large part to its teeth.
Because the teeth of viperfish are so long that they cannot even fit in the mouth and can only stick out randomly from the mouth, making it look like a mouth full of buck teeth, viperfish is also called bucktooth fish.
The teeth of the viperfish that Xiang Yang and his friends saw were quite standard.
The teeth of some viperfish are longer and curved backwards. Some of the teeth even touch the eyes. Not only are they ugly, but they are also messy and look very ferocious.
However, these ferocious-looking teeth are actually a magic weapon for viperfish to survive.
The teeth of viperfish are extremely lethal. It is precisely because of these ferocious teeth that the viperfish can become one of the top predators in the deep ocean with its extremely small body. Even tiger sharks and great white sharks cannot escape harm when they see viperfish.
Right now, the fact that this group of viperfish dare to attack this group of great white sharks is the best example.
