My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang has heard a lot about legends and reports about giant octopuses.

In all kinds of mankind’s fantasies, the depths of the turbulent ocean are almost synonymous with darkness and fear.

The English word from Greek—abyss, means “desperate abyss”.

The depths of the ocean not only contain boundless darkness, but also dangerous and impermanent, making people full of awe in it.

According to legend, countless terrifying monsters guarded this abyss, and "deified" people's fear.

These monsters often have big mouths of blood and extremely sharp canine teeth, which can bite people to pieces in one bite.

People therefore used their imagination to give them various murderous names, such as Tyrannosaurus, Devil Fish, Snake Fish, Devouring Eel, etc.

These monsters have disgusting bodies and terrifying spine. Once many fishermen closed their eyes, a sea monster appeared in their heads, with wide open mouths, round eyes and frowning brows, ready to attack. Scenes.

However, the giant octopus is really well-known to mankind, or from the Hollywood thriller "Extreme Chill".

The movie describes a terrifying underwater creature from the depths of the ocean—a giant octopus. In the movie, this behemoth brought the cruise ship to the extreme.

However, according to reports from around the world, humans have long confirmed that the existence of giant octopuses is not the plot of the movie, but real, and the giant octopuses that are washed ashore by the sea from time to time have aroused people's great conjecture and speculation.

At first, the experts were surprised and curious about the discovery of the giant octopus.

At the same time, news reports about giant octopuses are like tides, one wave after another.

When the remains of the giant octopus were first discovered, the BBC reported that this organism may be the remains of an extinct "giant octopus".

Other experts believe that it is a scary squid, or even a completely unknown "deep sea monster", and issued a warning about it.

At that time, no fisherman, seaman or even scientist could determine whether the body was an octopus.

Initially, in order to identify the 12-meter-long gelatinous tissue, Chile contacted some European zoologists.

After analysis, scientists believe that the shape of this object is similar to the description of a peculiar biological sample found in Florida in 1896. The sample was named "Great Chapter" at the time, but what it is is still asked by zoologists. Bewildered.

Scientists at the time described that people dragged an 18-meter-long animal with a brigade of horses, and chopped it with an axe, but no cut marks were seen.

For the mysterious organism discovered this time, its characteristics are consistent with the rare creatures described by scientists in the 19th century.

According to Cavalella, director of the San Diego Cetacean Conservation Center, French and Italian scientists believe that, based on preliminary data, it may be a giant octopus.

The zoologist Mead of the Smithsonian Museum in Washington took a risk to bet that it was a piece of blubber, but he also said that he did not have enough information to determine whether it was an octopus or a whale.

The most famous cephalopod expert at the time, Dr. Addison of Yale University, determined that it was the carcass of an unknown giant octopus and gave it a scientific name called "giant octopus."

Dr. Addison wrote in a related book, “When a giant octopus is alive, it has terrifying arms. Each arm is at least a hundred feet long. Dish-shaped suction cups, the largest suction cup is at least one foot in diameter."

However, Xiang Yang was skeptical about this, because the longest record of the straight arms of a common octopus was only 20 feet.

Later, the main part of the organism was cut off and shipped to the museum as a sample, named "Smith Man".

However, the biological samples slowly decomposed in the following decades.

Relevant controversy also quarreled again. Many experts believed that the monster was the skin of a certain type of giant whale, not a giant octopus.

Later, in 1971, "Natural History" published three articles discussing "undersea monsters", which once again aroused people's interest in the monster that was suspected of being a giant octopus.

Professor Joseph, a cell biologist at the University of Florida, wrote an article called "Monsters Found".

The article stated that after carefully observing the samples taken from the "Smith Man" under a microscope and laser, he came to a surprising conclusion that the giant organism may be a "monster of cannibalism."

"Smithians are not blubber. All evidence clearly shows that this ocean monster is actually a giant octopus." These are the original words of the paper.

In 1972, just as people were fighting hard for the "Smithians", this deep-sea monster, which was suspected of being a giant octopus, was once again washed up on the coast.

This succulent behemoth has appeared on the beaches of Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, Bermuda and Newfoundland.

This excites and perplexes observers and researchers.

Before seeing this head over twenty meters long and capable of waving its tentacles to fight four adult humpback whales alone, Xiang Yang was also suspicious of the giant octopus.

Xiang Yang knew that there were some octopuses that broke the limits of the body on the seabed, but felt that this breaking limit should also have a certain degree. It is impossible for an octopus to break the limit of the living body indefinitely.

But the facts are already before Xiang Yang's eyes at this moment, and Xiang Yang can't help but believe it.

At this moment, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

I saw the largest adult female humpback whale among the four adult humpback whales, fanning the fins and slapped the big head of the giant octopus fiercely.

The giant octopus hurriedly stretched out a tentacle to block it. At the same time, there was a tentacle that was always tightly guarding his head.

But at this moment, the big head, which was entangled by the giant octopus, even blocked the whale hole, suddenly struggled to make a profit. With such tremendous force, it almost overturned the giant octopus.

The giant octopus's defense instantly leaked, and the middle part of the big head was hitting the fin of an adult humpback whale.

The fins of adult humpback whales are photographed, and even tiger sharks can be photographed directly to death.

Although this giant octopus has thick skin and thick flesh, its head is still slapped up after a touch, and even the entire head is tilted to one side. The tentacles tightly wrapped around the big head are also It loosened in an instant.

The big head instantly seized the opportunity, and the huge whale tail swung away from the entanglement of the giant octopus tentacles.

Immediately afterwards, the angry big head did not retreat but moved forward, frantically instigating the fins and slammed into the head of the giant octopus.
