It was getting late after pulling the school of sword anchovy back to the fishing ground, so Qin Shiou decided to go back to sleep.

He was walking on the beach, and behind him were Xiong Da, Huzibaozi, Diaoge and Diaomei, King Simba, and Xiaoluotou, fighting and fighting in a friendly manner.

After settling down the little ones, Qin Shiou kissed them one by one. After returning to the bedroom, he took out a file and filed some bone meal from the carapace of the black-covered giant worm to feed to Dabai before he could sleep.

When eating in the morning, Auerbach read the newspaper and handed it to Winnie, saying, "How did the news spread so quickly?"

Qin Shiou leaned over and took a look. This is the "St. Johns Morning News". In the travel section, it reported the news of the poisonous shellfish found on Farewell Island. Next to it was a picture of a coded cone snail. Tropical Killers Are Here, How They Got There".

Winnie frowned and said, "Damn it, it shouldn't be. The news was blocked very well at the time. How did the media know?"

Shirley echoed: "Yes, our teachers and classmates are all guessing what's going on. The school just told us not to go near the sea. Many people said that there were sea monsters and ghost ships. No one would think that there would be any poisonous things." cowry."

People are old, horses are slippery, rabbits are old and eagles are hard to catch. From this news, Auerbach analyzed: "There are tricks behind these poisonous shellfish. Be careful, Winnie, someone may be dealing with us."

Qin Shiou patted the two of them on the shoulders and said: "Check this out slowly, leave the poison to me, and I will definitely give an explanation today."

As he said that, he winked at Wei Ni: "Don't forget what your man relies on for a living. Isn't it easy to find a poisonous shellfish while diving?"

After breakfast, he took all the fishermen who could dive to the small town pier. Shaq called out on the radio communication channel, and many people brought diving equipment to find him.

Knowing that they were going to dive to find poisonous shellfish, Tangji Button, who was in charge of the fossil salvage work in Shenbao Lake, also sent some divers to help. These people are diving experts hired by the National Fossil Museum Research Institute. It would be better to have their help. .

When Qin Shiou arrived at the pier, many people had already gathered on the beach waiting to watch the fun. He knew most of the townspeople, and even those who didn't know each other. They greeted each other all the way.

But when he came to the beach, he saw a small group of strange people a little farther away. These people had light brown skin, black hair and black eyes. High nose bridge, narrow face,

Quite different from the Caucasian natives of Farewell Island.

Seeing these people, Qin Shiou became vigilant, and then pulled Hughes over and asked, "Who are those people? Why haven't I seen them before?"

Little Hughes took a look and said, "Mexicans, it hasn't been long since I came to the island. They said they came to set up a stall to sell some Mexican specialties, what's the matter?"

Qin Shiou shook his head and said that it was just a strange feeling. Bidding Island was obviously framed this time, and it was very likely that these Mexicans did it.

Winnie and Haney brought people here, and Saunders also came. He was temporarily employed as a technical consultant for poisonous shellfish search to provide security guidance.

The old professor has real facts. He said: "I met with Dr. Odom. He separated the wound tissue of the injured tourist yesterday and extracted the residual radula. After analyzing it, I think the sea What exists is the code cone."

"Under normal circumstances, when hunting, the code cone snails will ambush their bodies in the sand, only exposing their noses. This can not only obtain oxygen, but also monitor the movements of their prey."

"So it may be difficult to search. You must be patient and vigilant. The radula of the code cone snail can grow up to one centimeter long and is very sharp. You must not expose your skin to them."

"But you don't have to worry too much. Among all kinds of cone snails, the cone snails that eat fish as their natural food are the most poisonous, followed by those that feed on molluscs. Those that feed on sea worms will not kill humans."

"Crystal snails feed on mollusks, and their toxicity is not very strong. After you search for this kind of cone snail, you should pay attention to it. If their shell mouth is narrow, the toxicity is relatively low. The wider the shell mouth, the stronger the toxicity. You just Be more careful."

After Sanders finished popularizing the basic knowledge, Qin Shiou asked in his heart: "Professor, you said they are hidden in the sand? But I remember asking the tourist yesterday, and he said that the cone snails he saw were on the surface of the seabed. what happened?"

"Quite simply, if that's the case, either the cone snails are ready to mate and lay eggs, or they've just been here," Saunders said.

After hearing this, Qin Shiou confirmed his guess that the farewell island was designed by someone.

After the sun rose and the water temperature was higher, Qin Shiou took the fishermen and divers into the water. They also conducted investigations, starting from the location where the tourists were injured.

Qin Shiou put all the 14 coded cone snails around here last night, so it was not difficult to search. Nearly 30 people dived into the water, and the good news came out after a short search.

Qin Shiou didn't go to the location where the cone snail was. He wandered casually on the bottom of the sea to watch the underwater environment.

Because the surrounding fishing grounds are rich in catch resources, there are also many fish in the public fishing grounds of the town, but the growth of seaweed and aquatic plants is relatively poor. The sea fish are just passing by here, and they will not stay for a long time.

In this way, the seabed of the public fishing ground is much cleaner, and there are pieces of gravel and fine sand underneath. Qin Shiou reached out and dug a handful, and the fine sand flowed with the sea water, which was very beautiful.

After staying underwater for more than half an hour, Qin Shiou came up to breathe and decompress. He saw Shaq, Bull and others sitting on the boat talking and laughing loudly. Seeing their twittering, he knew they had found the coded cone snail.

Less than ten minutes after Qin Shiou surfaced, someone came up again, excitedly raised his net bag and shouted, "Look, guys, what did I find? Six coded cone snails!"

Shaq laughed: "We found eight of them!"

Qin Shiou frowned and said, "Why are there so many?"

When he said this, Shaq also frowned: "When we found these eight cone snails, they were all on the sand layer, they were not lurking, and their positions were too concentrated, I think they were set here. "

The diver with the net bag in his hand nodded and said, "Same, buddy, it's the same when I found them. They haven't hidden in the sand at all, they're just blatantly hunting."

The others surfaced one after another, but naturally they didn't find the cone snails, two batches of cone snails had already come out.

Shaq and the divers went ashore and handed the conch snail to Saunders. Qin Shiou took it and continued to search. He knew it was gone, but the others didn't know it. To be safe, at least search within 200 meters of the sea.

Of course, nothing came of it. (To be continued.)
