How to become a mermaid

Chapter 145 Catch Earthworms

"One, two, three... eleven, twelve, thirteen, that's all."

Shamanlael is holding a handful of sea earthworms in his hand and is carefully counting the number.

It took him a long time to dig out such a little bit from the sand on the bottom of the sea.

The place where the Moni is now moored is not a shallow sea, with a depth of about 600 meters, so there are not many sea earthworms living in this place, and you need to search carefully to find one.

Although the number is not large, fortunately they reproduce very quickly. Under the condition of adequate nutrition, it only takes a few months to change from a dozen to hundreds.

After counting them, Shamanlell put them in a glass jar and went back to find Alicia and Ole.

While swimming back to the vicinity of the Moni, Shamanlaer heard Alicia calling him.

"Son, I caught this kind of bug!" Alicia swam towards Shaman Lair with a handful of twisting and wriggling red bugs in one hand.

Not only Samantel, she is also looking for sea worms.

After consulting with Plank, Shaman Lair told Ole and Alicia about the powerful limb healing potion.

Alicia was very positive about this, saying that she must do her part to help Ole catch his tail.

"Let me see these bugs." Shaman Lair said to Alicia.

"Here." Alicia handed over what was in her hand.

After taking a bunch of worms from Alicia's hand, Shamanlael carefully identified the species. After picking out a few worms that were not sea earthworms, he put the worms that Alicia found into the jar together .

Now these are enough for the time being, go back and cut them all to double the quantity.

When Samantel snapped the lid on the jar, Ole also came back.

But instead of worms, he held a bunch of octopuses.

"Sorry, I didn't go looking for bugs."

Ole handed the things in his hand to Shaman Lair, and said in a timid tone: "I have hated these twisting little things since I was a child, and I didn't dare to look for them. I only found these octopuses."

Aole brought back three big octopuses that were one to two meters long. Each of them had their heads pinched, and they waved their eight tentacles and wriggled wildly in Aole's hands.

"Why do you hate bugs?" Samantel was a little puzzled.

As a semi-mollusk with tentacles all over his body, Ao Lei was afraid of bugs, which he did not expect.

And compared to bugs, these octopuses that can twist their tentacles back and forth and suck people with suction cups are obviously more terrifying, aren't they also easily held by Ao Lei?

"Because... the bugs are too small, and they will burrow into the body, which is very disgusting."

"When I was a child, I was injured on the head once, and an opening was opened, and then worms grew in the wound, which were red and looked no different from these earthworms."

"They were wriggling on my head, itchy and uncomfortable, and they kept drilling inside, as if they were trying to hollow out my brain." Speaking of this, Ao Lei trembled, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes.

For a large creature like Aore, what makes them fear is not the big enemy, but this kind of small gadget that is extremely small to them.

"Those bugs kept crawling on my head, and the number was increasing. I couldn't eat or sleep, but I couldn't remove them because my claws were too big, and they were too small, and they burrowed into the meat. "

"Every time I tried to clean it up, I couldn't clean it up. It was only once I made up my mind to pick off the big piece of meat on the top of my head that they disappeared slowly." Ole said with some fear.

Its head was smooth now, and there were no traces of injury, but even if the physical pain disappeared, things like bugs still left him with a lot of psychological shadow.

"Terrible…"

After listening to Ole's description, Alicia also showed a trace of fear on her face.

"The bug you mentioned should be a kind of carnivorous bug on the seabed. Most of them are also red. Their favorite thing is to get into the wound and eat the flesh of fish."

"If you don't clean it up in time, they will indeed go all the way into the body and cannibalize the creature whole."

"Among the pile of bugs that Alicia gave me just now, there was one of these bugs mixed in." Shamanlell said seriously.

"What?" Ole was startled when he heard that there was such a bug that had drilled into his head near him.

It threw the octopus in its hand and ran away with a whoosh.

The surrounding seawater was churning violently, Ole's huge body brought up a slender white wave on the bottom of the sea, winding all the way for several kilometers.

Except for the scene of chasing in the sea with Moni that day, Shamanlael had never seen Ao Lei swim so fast.

"Hahahahaha~" Alicia couldn't help laughing when she saw Ole running away.

"Son, don't scare it, Ole is timid." Alicia said with a smile.

"I didn't scare it, I really saw this kind of bug just now." Shamanleir said helplessly, spreading his hands.

After speaking, he swam quickly to catch the few octopuses that Ole had dropped just now.

Although the octopuses are also good swimmers at the bottom of the sea, they can run several meters in one leap, but they are still not as fast as the mermaids. The three octopuses were quickly caught.

In order to avoid being stuck by the suction cups on the tentacles of the octopus, Shaman Lair lifted them up and shook them back and forth. He and Alicia got on the boat together until the octopus was shaken unconscious and the tentacles were limp and weak.

He brought the octopuses to Moni's room, put them all into the fish tank where he and Pochi had stayed together for a while, and then started to deal with sea worms.

According to Planck's records, this worm can be cut into eight segments at most, and this method can be used to quickly increase the population number, but Shaman Lear does not plan to take such a risk at present, and intends to cut a little less.

He took out the sea worms from the jar one by one, picked up a knife and cut them cleanly from the middle, cutting them all in half.

The snapped worms wriggled back and forth, twisting and turning on the floor, seemingly in pain.

But bugs don't have bug rights, even though they knew they would hurt, Shamanlael still hit hard.

He said sorry softly, and then divided the cut sea worms into different glass bottles.

Put about ten pieces in each bottle, pour some seawater into it, fill it with half the volume of seabed sediment, and then sprinkle a little bit of dead fish and shrimp on the sediment, and a can of micro sea earthworm culture medium is ready. up.

Sea earthworms do not have much requirement for living space, as long as there is enough food, dozens of them can be squeezed into a bottle.

Their wounds will heal in about a day, and they will start to grow again the next day. It is estimated that the other half of their bodies will grow in two or three weeks, and then they will mate with other sea earthworms to produce a large number of eggs as fathers and mothers. , to hatch more sea worms.
