Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

Chapter 139 Sea Urchin with Gripping Net

It turned out that not long ago, Chen Xin's transformed Leviathan fought with an unknown creature. It was Chen Xin's first time experiencing a battle while transformed into Leviathan. The vibration of the stomach wall space terrified her, and she didn't dare to go out to check after the battle ended.

Just when she thought she was about to wait for the supply crates, the Phantom Leviathan stopped moving. Then, after several waves of seawater rushed into her stomach, her esophageal diaphragm failed to close. Not knowing why, she went out to check.

Then she discovered that there was a cave outside. Thinking it was a treasure cave, she put on her gear and prepared to explore it. But after walking only a dozen meters, she stepped on something and a black net rushed out from underwater and entangled her.

Originally, the net wasn't very strong; Chen Xin could easily break free with her 24 points of strength. But just as she was about to break free, a tentacle reached out from the darkness and bound her.

Chen Xin had never seen such a huge octopus before, and she was so frightened that she used a [Travel Coupon] to bring Zhou Wen along.

After listening, Zhou Wen was about to reprimand her again, saying that the use of the "Travel Coupon" was too casual, but then he thought better of it, since Chen Xin had spent most of her time in the stomach wall space, where she encountered parasites that were two or three meters long.

Having never encountered a creature seven or eight meters long before, and having no concept of the defensive capabilities of the yellowtail with its sharp fins and scales, it's normal to be afraid.

Moreover, after reading the encyclopedia information about the giant octopus and hearing Chen Xin's account, Zhou Wen knew that this cave was not one she could explore; there was at least one injured 30-meter-long giant octopus inside.

Then, Zhou Wen handed the large metal shield to Chen Xin, telling her to be on guard, while he took off his powerful headlamp and began searching for something underwater.

Just now, Chen Xin said she stepped on something, and then a net rushed out from underwater and entangled her.

However, it was impossible for a human to set up a trap in the cave. Zhou Wen also took a quick look at the net. The net was three or four meters long, black in color, with meshes about seven or eight centimeters in size. At the intersection of the net lines, there was a black spike about four or five centimeters long.

If Chen Xin hadn't been wearing protective gear, the net wouldn't have just entangled her; numerous black spikes would have pierced her body, becoming fixed inside and making it even harder for her to escape.

After searching for a while, Zhou Wen saw a dark shadow underwater. The shadow was round and about 50 centimeters in diameter, with a lot of black spikes on its surface.

“This must be what you stepped on,” Zhou Wen said to Chen Xin, pointing to the dark shadow underwater.

"That's probably it. I was focused on what was ahead and didn't notice anything underwater." Chen Xin held up the large metal shield, glanced at the dark figure, and continued to observe and guard her surroundings.

"Go, go and step on it again." Zhou Wen took the powerful headlamp out of the water, kept watch over the surroundings, and said to Chen Xin.

"Huh? I went to step on it?" Chen Xin pointed at herself, somewhat surprised.

"What are you afraid of? You've already stepped on one before, haven't you? The thorns on the internet can't hurt you. Go on." Zhou Wen urged.

"Okay." Chen Xin could only walk up to the shadowy figure and then carefully step on it.

The next second, all the spikes on the shadowy figure were launched, with segments of black silk threads attached to the ends of the spikes. As the spikes gradually spread, the silk threads also unfolded, forming a black net full of spikes that enveloped Chen Xin.

Seeing that there was no unusual activity around him, Zhou Wen first tore off the black net covering Chen Xin, and then stepped on it to test it himself. However, perhaps because the spikes had already been launched, the shadowy figure did not react this time. So Zhou Wen simply pulled the shadowy figure out of the water.

"Is this a sea urchin?" Chen Xin asked, after removing the black net from her body, as she approached Zhou Wen and looked at the dark, round, disc-shaped creature in his hand.

"Why don't you touch it and check the information?" Zhou Wen said, carefully shining his headlamp on the body of the disc-shaped creature. After confirming that there were no sharp objects on the surface, he took off his white-scaled gloves and touched it. Chen Xin quickly touched it as well.

【Sea urchin with gillnets】

Body length: 50 cm

Weight: 20 kg

Food type: Meat

Description: A type of sea urchin that lives on the seabed and captures prey by launching barbed webs from its body. When attacked, it will also launch barbed webs to bind its enemies. The spines contain paralyzing toxins, and excessive intake may cause shock and death. It tastes delicious and is edible. The spines can be used to make paralyzing drugs.

"Although it doesn't look big, it's quite dangerous." Zhou Wen said, then with a thought, he sent the sea urchin to Jiang Haitao.

"Isn't it edible? Sea urchins should taste pretty good raw," Chen Xin said as Zhou Wen teleported away the gillnet kelp.

“Let’s eat them together when we get back. They’re so small, they’ll only add one or two points to your attributes at most, no need to waste time. We can catch more of these sea urchins to make paralysis potions.” After Zhou Wen finished speaking, he continued to search for sea urchins in the water.

Chen Xin's attributes are already quite high, so she's not in a rush to add one or two more points. So she went with Zhou Wen to find sea urchins.

Soon, another sea urchin with a gillnet was found nearby. This time, Zhou Wen did not let Chen Xin trigger the gillnet. Instead, he gently picked up the sea urchin from underwater. The gillnet did not fire during the process.

Zhou Wen placed the sea urchin with the spines facing forward, then flicked its back with his finger. The next second, the sea urchin was launched, unfolding into a black net in the air before flying three or four meters and falling into the water.

"This method has some use, but it's not very useful," Chen Xin said after thinking for a moment.

Zhou Wen thought so too, because the firing range of the barbed net was too short. Even if it was used as a tranquilizer gun, the short distance meant that if it was facing a creature that was more than ten meters long, the creature would be right in front of it within three or four meters. It was no different from firing it directly on the ground.

Next, Zhou Wen and Chen Xin began to explore deeper into the cave. As they went deeper, the cave became more and more open. Chen Xin was tasked with finding sea urchins, while Zhou Wen used a powerful headlamp to light the way ahead and keep watch to avoid being attacked by the giant octopus.

Suddenly, the seawater in front of them surged, and a giant octopus with a mouth about eleven meters long pushed the water towards them.

Zhou Wen added five free attribute points to Strength, bringing his Strength to 34.5. He swung his slender steel blade even more swiftly, and in an instant, all the tentacles that the giant octopus was lashing out at him were severed by the cold light of the blade, leaving Chen Xin, who was watching from the side, dumbfounded.

After severing all the tentacles of the giant octopus, it was rendered powerless to resist. Zhou Wen rushed forward, ready to finish it off.

Suddenly, a tentacle about a meter in diameter emerged from the darkness ahead. The tentacle swept through the air with a dull whistling sound and slammed down on Zhou Wen from above.

"Mr. Zhou, watch out!"
