The moonlight fell on the sea, creating countless silver ripples.
Sui Xiong didn't know if it was an illusion, but the moon in this world seemed to be much bigger and brighter than that on Earth. Although it was night, the light was not bad. Sui Xiong could even see the teeth of the approaching small fish.
They swam very fast, and they ate very fast. In a short while, they had torn up and eaten many jellyfish on the sea, and gradually came to Sui Xiong.
Sui Xiong didn't run away. He quietly floated on the sea, ready to fight.
Soon, the three closest small fish were within his attack range.
As natural enemies, those small fish had an overwhelming advantage over the jellyfish. However, inside the body of this jellyfish, there was a human soul.
Most importantly, this jellyfish and those weak people who had no power to fight back were finished! All! No! Same! Yes!
Looking at the small fish that showed their white teeth and wanted to tear up their food, Sui Xiong smiled.
He stretched out his soul hand, grabbed two small fish, pulled out their souls effortlessly, and put them into his mouth.
Then, the third small fish followed in the footsteps of its own kind.
As a price, Sui Xiong, oh, the jellyfish he had possessed, was bitten.
The bite was not big, but it made him a little alert.
Although he was much stronger than these small fish and could kill two of them at once, he only had two hands, and there were at least hundreds of small fish.
Three small fish had made him lose focus, and he was bitten. What would happen if hundreds of small fish swarmed him?
Sui Xiong was shocked. He looked carefully and found that he had been surrounded.
"Damn! So many of them want to kill me, what kind of man am I? If you have the guts, come and fight me! "He couldn't help but curse.
However, it was obvious that these small fish were not good men, or they couldn't hear him at all, or they couldn't understand him even if they heard him.
So, they rushed at him from all directions.
Sui Xiong was so shocked that he no longer cared about eating. He waved his fists in all directions, trying to kill all these damn small fish.
For a moment, the sea was flashing, and the fish's scales and sharp teeth reflected each other. A new generation of water ghosts cursed incessantly.
After a while, the sea finally calmed down.
Sui Xiong stood in the middle of the floating corpses of the small fish and looked at the broken jellyfish body. He wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I've only transmigrated for a day and I was almost dismembered. This world is really dangerous!"
After sighing for a while, Sui Xiong began to think about what to do next.
The jellyfish's body was too weak. There was a joke on the Internet that the combat power of an otaku was equal to zero. Five geese, so this jellyfish's combat power was probably zero. It couldn't even compare to a goose. Even though Sui Xiong, who had transformed into a water ghost, was so powerful that he could kill all the opponents he had met so far with one move (except for the horned whale), he only had two hands after all, and he couldn't protect himself in all directions. A group of small fish that couldn't even fill his stomach together had forced him into such a mess. What if something more powerful came?
If he could, of course, he wanted to get rid of this useless body and get a stronger one. However, he didn't know how to get rid of the jellyfish's body at the moment, so he had to change his way of thinking.
"Anyway, let's try to fix this body first," Sui Xiong muttered and lifted up a broken tentacle. Sui Xiong muttered and lifted up a broken tentacle. "I remember that the lower the level of a creature is, the stronger its self-healing ability is. As long as it has enough nutrition, it will be fine."
However, where could the nutrition come from?
According to Sui Xiong's memory, it needed to eat plankton.
But Sui Xiong had found it until now, but he still hadn't found the legendary plankton.
What should he do without plankton? Could he just wait to starve to death? Maybe this unlucky jellyfish's body would be seriously injured before it starved to death.
If this body died, would his soul die as well?
Maybe … it was possible …
No, it couldn't be like this! As a man, even if he wanted to die, he couldn't die in such a ridiculous way!
Helpless, Sui Xiong's eyes fell on the dead small fish around him.
The souls of these small fish had been swallowed by him, but their bodies were still here. In theory, fish meat was also a kind of nutrition that could completely replenish the jellyfish's body.
The problem was, how to eat it?
Question: How does a jellyfish eat? Waiting online. It's a bit urgent.
However, there was no internet …
Sui Xiong pondered for a while and tried to poke the nearest dead fish with one of his tentacles.
The tentacles of a jellyfish were its attacking weapons. In theory, attacking weapons were often related to eating tools, such as teeth and mouths.
But he soon found that the tentacles of the jellyfish could do nothing to those fish. In the face of tough fish scales, no matter how Sui Xiong commanded, the tentacles couldn't pierce through them.
"A pile of food is right in front of me, but I can't eat it. This is so tragic!" Sui Xiong muttered, still unwilling to give up. He directed the tentacles to poke everywhere on the dead fish, trying to find a place without protection.
Hard work paid off, and he finally found it.
The fish's mouth.
The whole body of the fish was covered with scales, but there were no scales inside. As long as he put the tentacles into the fish's mouth, he could pierce through its body.
However, what should he do next?
Sui Xiong fell into thought again.
Secrete digestive fluid?
He tried several times, but he didn't know whether the jellyfish lacked this ability or his IQ was limited, but he couldn't secrete any digestive fluid.
Eat it directly?
He tried several times, but he didn't know whether the tentacles of the jellyfish had no teeth or his IQ was limited, but he couldn't eat anything.
Sui Xiong was angry at the situation where he couldn't do anything.
"I don't believe it today! I've already killed them, so why can't I eat them? Can the meat on the chopping board fly away? "
He thought hard for a while, and finally found some life experience from the depths of his memory.
A cup of milk tea was placed on the table, but the lid couldn't be opened. How could he drink it? He just needed to insert a straw.
Since the tentacles of the jellyfish could release venom, they must be hollow, so he could use them as straws.
But … he felt a little sick at the thought of sucking the things in the stomach of the fish through a straw.
This method was too immoral.
What happened next was needless to say. In short, the circle of dead fish around him eventually became a pile of non-recyclable garbage wrapped in a pile of internal organs. Sui Xiong finally chose a compromise method, which was to pierce the tentacles into the fish as much as possible, just like eating raw fish.
Maybe the internal organs were also very nutritious, but he felt sick at the thought of inhaling some of the things in the digestive tract.
It was strange that the fish should be tough, but why was it absorbed like liquid when he sucked it? Did jellyfish have this ability? Were all the jellyfish in this world so powerful?
Looking around at the results of the battle, Sui Xiong pondered for a while and attributed this strange phenomenon to the difference in the world.
He had absorbed the nutrients, so the next step was to make full use of them.
But how should he make use of them?
Sui Xiong pondered.
First of all, he needed to strengthen his movement speed. The swimming speed of the jellyfish was too slow!
But how should he strengthen his movement speed?
With fins? But even with fins, it didn't seem to solve the problem.
Add some tentacles? Or make the tentacles even flatter, like paddles on a boat?
Neither seemed to be a good idea …
Sui Xiong pondered, then pondered, then pondered again, and finally came up with a solution.
He decided to equip this jellyfish with two propellers.
Propellers were very common things on the earth, and the principle was not complicated. To put it bluntly, it was just a group of tilted rotating blades. Through the rotation of the blades, the liquid quickly flowed in a certain direction, so that it could be pushed in the opposite direction. The most common application of this kind of thing in life was probably an electric fan.
Whether it was air or water, they were all considered to be fluids — at least in Sui Xiong's impression.
"I need a strong central shaft, three strong blades, and a very strong bearing." Sui Xiong muttered, and directed the huge amount of nutrients stored in the jellyfish's body to constantly transform them into a muscle structure, and then repeatedly overlapped them, until he finally got what he wanted.
It took him most of the night to discover this method, but when he found the correct method, it only took him a while to make two propellers.
The body of a living creature was really amazing. As long as he had a relatively clear idea, the process of making it was extremely easy and pleasant. There were only two things he needed to do.
Design, and wait.
It was not difficult to make the propellers rotate, and a simple gear transmission could do it.
Perhaps for living creatures, it was very painful to turn their flesh and blood into a constantly rotating and colliding gear, but Sui Xiong was not a jellyfish. No matter how the body of this jellyfish was damaged, it would not make him feel any pain.
So the problem was solved. He had obtained a good power system, and he could gallop in the sea at a high speed that would make the jellyfish die of shame.
Now that he could move faster, what should he consider next?
Attack power? Defense power?
Sui Xiong thought for a while, and then focused on the aspect of defense.
He already had a strong attack method, and so far, he had not found any fish that could resist the terrible attack that could extract the soul of the jellyfish. So naturally, the only thing he needed to strengthen was the defense.
His priority was naturally the scales.
Just like on the earth, the soldiers who charged and broke through the enemy liked to use metal armor to protect their bodies, Sui Xiong also tended to use solid armor — scales — to wrap his temporary body.
This was a good idea, but when he designed the armor, he found a problem.
The scales formed by the overlapping muscle fibers of the jellyfish were not strong enough.
It was not that they lacked hardness. Those scales and the bones of the propellers were essentially the same thing. What they lacked was "elasticity."
Sui Xiong had seen some military works before he traveled to this world. He knew that in the era of cold weapons, the armor not only needed to be hard, but also elastic. If he used the method of resisting the attack with force, the strength of the attack would be directly absorbed by the body. At best, it would be nothing more than a piercing into the body.
Therefore, the elasticity of the armor was very important.
However, he could not make scales that were elastic.
After making sure of this, he had to take a step back and try to make a tough skin.
This was much easier. As long as he overlapped a few more layers of muscle fibers to form a shell of bone, and then put a few layers of mesh under the bone as a cushion, it would be finished.
Finally, he also adjusted the shape of the jellyfish's body.
When the sun, which was larger than the sun on the earth, began to set in the west, Sui Xiong completed the transformation of the body he temporarily lived in.
A streamlined body, gray tough and thick skin, and a set of propellers protected by a group of bones on each side of the body to provide strong power. Finally, there were those slender tentacles at the end of the body. He wanted to strengthen the tentacles, but there was not enough nutrition, so he could only think about it later.
No matter how he looked at it, it looked like a monster.
