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

Time was of the essence. The second round of feeding had just begun after the first round of seaweed had been moved. Zhou Wen immediately used 20 pieces of wood to make a wooden foundation to replace the foundation that had been demolished earlier, and then hid again.

As seawater surged in, Zhou Wen continued to examine the water with his goggles. A fleshy, elongated body rolled on the surface; it was an anchor worm.

"Misfortunes never come singly." Zhou Wen frowned deeply.

As the headlamp shone on the anchor worm, it also detected the same unusual flashes on the water's surface as before. This time, Zhou Wen knew that they were the iridescent flashes refracted by the serrated edges of the razor worm.

"What should we do?" Zhou Wen was worried. Waiting for the tide to recede was definitely not an option. If the razor worms and anchor worms attacked together, he would be finished once his body was restrained by the anchor worms.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhou Wen decided to take advantage of the fact that the Razorback Worm was still in the seawater and go into the water to kill the Anchor Worm first.

However, before that, he needed to determine the exact number of anchor worms. If it was two, just like before, he would have to be extra careful, otherwise he wouldn't be going into the water, but into the underworld.

After observing for a while and confirming that there was only one algae in the water and it was right in front of him, Zhou Wen, fully armed, moved the algae oxygenation tank in front of him away with a thought, and then burst out with all his strength, pouncing into the seawater like a hungry tiger.

When his palm touched the anchor worm's strip-like body, he swung his iron sword and hacked wildly, splashing seawater everywhere as Zhou Wen swung his arm with great force.

Soon, the water surface turned crimson, and the anchor worm's body was severed by Zhou Wen, with blood flowing out in large quantities.

Zhou Wen's attack was too sudden. The anchor worm hadn't even had time to react before its body was severed. However, because the break wasn't in a vital spot, the anchor worm continued to struggle and try to escape.

How could Zhou Wen possibly let it get away? After an injured anchor worm escaped before, it left a bloody hole in the stomach wall. He didn't want the same thing to happen again.

He held the anchor worm's body tightly under his arm. Because most of its body was broken off, the anchor worm was no match for Zhou Wen's strength underwater. In the end, it could only scream and struggle in pain before being hacked to death by Zhou Wen.

Seeing that the anchor worm was no longer moving, Zhou Wen recovered from his outburst and, looking at the crimson seawater around him, quickly pulled the anchor worm's body out of the water.

"Oh dear, we can't waste this blood." Zhou Wen carried the corpse of the anchor worm, climbed onto the wooden platform, and put the blood from the corpse into the aquarium where the Boiling Blood Coral was located.

After doing all that, I took off my gear and hid in the rest area.

The burst of energy just now had almost exhausted most of his strength, but fortunately, the result was smooth. The anchor worm was killed before it even had a chance to fight back.

He needs to rest now so that he will have the strength to face the razor worms' attack when the tide recedes.

However, during the rest, Zhou Wen continued to observe the water surface through the mirror and discovered an unexpected situation: the razor worms in the water had all gathered together.

Because of the large number of lights, when the lights were shone on the water, it looked like there was a layer of oil on the surface, refracting colorful light.

"Is it because of the blood?" Zhou Wen looked at the crimson seawater, which was stained red by the blood that had flowed out of the anchor worm.

Razorback worms feed on blood, and when they sense blood in the seawater, they naturally gather there.

"This is a great opportunity."

Zhou Wen immediately climbed out of the rest area, put on his gear, and slowly entered the seawater.

Since razor worms cannot rotate their bodies quickly in seawater, they are not very aggressive, making this an excellent opportunity to kill them.

Under normal circumstances, razor worms are highly transparent and difficult to spot in equally transparent seawater. It is almost impossible to kill razor worms by relying on seawater.

But now, the transparent razor worms appear in the reddened seawater, truly like beacons of light in the darkness, easily spotted at a glance.

Moreover, because they sucked blood from the seawater, the protruding parts of their bodies were also stained red. Zhou Wen looked at the red dots in the center of each transparent disc in the water and his face lit up with joy.

"Isn't this the target?" Zhou Wen raised his knife and slashed all the way down to the red dot in the center without even blinking.

Razorback worms in the sea are not unaware of the danger, but their eight-legged structure is not well-suited for underwater movement, so they escape very slowly.

Zhou Wen seized upon this weakness of the Razorback Beetles, and he wasn't about to let it go easily. He chased after them and slashed at them, and soon, all eight Razorback Beetles were killed.

After collecting their corpses, Zhou Wen returned to the rest area. Wearing the full set of spiked armor twice in a row had exhausted him.

By this time, the seawater had receded by half. Zhou Wen took off his equipment, rested for a while, and looked at the crimson seawater again to make sure there were no razor worms left behind.

No razorback worms were seen until the seawater completely receded.

After resting for a few minutes, Zhou Wen lifted the wooden door to check the space in his stomach wall. During this time, he did not encounter any attacks from Razorback worms.

This discovery revealed Zhou Wen's fatal weakness: by bleeding the razor worms in seawater, he could attract them all and eliminate them all at once.

However, this method has a problem: where does the blood come from? It's impossible to encounter anchor worms every time.

The simplest and most stable method is to release the blood of the transformed Leviathan, but Zhou Wen naturally wouldn't use that method.

He has plenty of basic materials; he can simply buy the corpses of anchor worms and store the blood in wooden barrels.

Moreover, he now controls two guilds, so he doesn't even need to provide basic materials. He can simply have Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin ask their guild members for the corpses of anchor worms, and handing over the anchor worm corpses can be converted into guild contribution points.

During the next three rounds of feeding, Zhou Wen did not encounter any more aggressive creatures. The entire feeding phase passed safely without any major incidents. He opened the world system interface and glanced at the upper right corner. The death toll had surged again today, with more than two million people killed.

"Tomorrow will be the 12th day. I wonder how many more people will die." Zhou Wen was somewhat numb to the daily death toll. He muttered to himself and then found Jiang Haitao and Chen Xin, asking them to collect anchor worms.

I also informed them about the Razorback Bug's information and weaknesses, and sent them a biological encyclopedia, telling them to be careful.

The news of the Razorback Bug can also be used as a guild reward to inform guild members who have made great contributions and are loyal.

Don't underestimate the news about the Razorback Bug; being prepared and not being prepared are two completely different things.

If you're prepared, you'll hear the sound of something cutting through the air and know there's danger, so you'll immediately take cover. If you're lucky, you might even survive. If you're unprepared, you're a sitting duck and won't even know how you died.
