Chapter 128 Blue Ringed Octopus
"Huang Jia, step back quickly."

"There's a little blue-ringed octopus at your feet."

Lin Bei shouted hastily.

"What? Blue-ringed octopus?" Huang Jia was taken aback for a moment, then took two steps back.

Looking in the direction of Lin Bei's finger, a small octopus covered with blue ring patterns is floating in the water not far from him
"This little thing is very dangerous, you and Xue Feng should get on the boat quickly." Lin Bei said.

The two nodded when they heard the words, and quickly climbed into the speedboat.

Chen Weiyu on the speedboat, when Lin Bei said that he found the blue-ringed octopus, he quickly took out the net and small bucket and handed them to Lin Bei.

"Blue-ringed octopus? Where is it? Let's fish it up and take some pictures."

"That thing is said to be more poisonous than a poisonous snake."

"Be careful when you fish, Lin Bei." Chen Weiyu said.

"This little thing has been floating along with the tide. Let me pick it up with a net."

Lin Bei took the net and bucket carefully, and slowly stretched the net bag towards the blue-ringed octopus in the water.

The blue-ringed octopus is floating freely in the water at this time. As an octopus with top tetrodotoxin, it hardly has any natural enemies in the ocean.

As long as it is accidentally stung by it, any animal, or human being, will die in pain
Lin Bei was very careful when catching the blue-ringed octopus.

This kind of octopus will not actively attack humans, unless it is threatened, it will actively attack.

Gently picked it up with a dip net, and slowly put it into a bucket filled with seawater.

"Okay, Chen Weiyu, take pictures with your cameras and record them."

Lin Bei climbed into the speedboat and handed the bucket to Chen Weiyu.

Looking at the blue-ringed octopus floating on the water in the bucket, everyone's eyes were attracted.

The brown-gray skin is covered with dense blue rings, and as its muscles squirm, the blue rings penetrate the water surface, as if alive.

"My God, this blue-ringed octopus is too beautiful."

"Beautiful is beautiful, but it's also one of the most poisonous animals in the ocean."

"They seem to have tetrodotoxin, and they don't have any antidote. If they accidentally stung them, it's game over." Chen Weiyu took out his camera and said to Huang Jia and Xue Feng who were recording.

At this time, many viewers in the live broadcast room were also full of interest in this mysterious pocket octopus.

Everyone shouted at Lin Bei, telling them about the knowledge about the blue-ringed octopus.

Taking advantage of the efforts of several people to take pictures and record, Lin Bei nodded.

"Since everyone is so interested in it."

"Then let me tell you about one of the most poisonous creatures in the ocean, the blue-ringed octopus."

"The blue-ringed octopus belongs to the octopus family, commonly known as blue-ringed octopus and leopard octopus. They are widely distributed in the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean."

"They are a very small species of octopus with an arm span of no more than 15cm,"

"Generally prey on some small fish, crabs, shrimps and crustaceans."

"They have a strong toxin (tetrodotoxin) to paralyze their prey."

"In the ocean, the blue-ringed octopus is a highly poisonous creature, and a bite from this small octopus can kill a person."

"But such octopuses generally don't actively attack humans unless they are seriously threatened."

"The blue-ringed octopus, named for the bright blue rings on its body."

"When in danger, the dark rings on their bodies and claws will emit a dazzling blue light to send a warning signal to the other party. Although the octopus is small in size, it secretes enough venom to kill a human in a single bite. "

"And since no hospital, or country, has developed an antidote to the blue-ringed octopus toxin, it is one of the most poisonous marine creatures known, and its sharp mouth is said to be able to penetrate a diver's wetsuit."

In fact, blue-ringed octopuses are relatively shy. They usually like to hide under rocks or in the crevices of coral reefs, and usually come out to move and feed at night. "

"The toxicity of the blue-ringed octopus can be shown by its own color. Its skin contains colored cells, which can change color at will. By shrinking or stretching, changing the size of different colored cells, the entire appearance of the blue-ringed octopus will change."

"When the blue-ringed octopus moves through different environments, it can use the same protective color as the environment color."

"The cells in these blue rings are densely covered with brilliant, colored crystals that reflect light. The blue-ringed octopus uses these unique rings to warn other creatures that it has a deadly weapon."

"Most attacks on humans occur when blue-ringed octopuses are lifted out of the water, or when they are stepped on."

"The blue-ringed octopus and the box jellyfish are two of the most venomous marine organisms. The venom in their bodies can kill a person within minutes of the attack. There is still no medical antidote."

"People feel almost no pain after being stung by this octopus, and the toxicity does not start until an hour later."

"Luckily the blue-ringed octopus is not aggressive and rarely attacks humans."

"But despite their relatively small size, a single blue-ringed octopus carries enough toxin to kill 26 adults at once in a matter of minutes."

"And there is currently no effective antitoxin to prevent it. The venom of the blue-ringed octopus can prevent blood clots, causing the wound to bleed profusely and feel stinging. Finally, the whole body has a fever and difficulty breathing. Severe cases are fatal, and mild cases require treatment. It takes three to four weeks to recover."

"So don't let your guard down because of its small size and beautiful color. In fact, their venom is very powerful."

Lin Bei looked at the camera in the live broadcast room and explained slowly.

As soon as Lin Bei's voice fell, the audience in the live broadcast room began to discuss.

"My God, such a small thing, the venom in its body can kill 26 adults?"

"Fuck, this octopus is too poisonous."

"The appearance is indeed long, small and beautiful. But when Station Master Lin said that this thing is so poisonous, I immediately disliked this thing."

"My god, this thumb-sized octopus turned out to be a blue-ringed octopus."

"This kind of octopus seems to have been reported on TV before."

"Tsk tsk, as the old saying goes, pretty people are poisonous."

"It turns out that this is the blue-ringed octopus. I didn't expect it to be distributed around Baiwei Island."

"We all remember this thing, and we will definitely stay away from it in the future."

The audience in the live broadcast room sent barrages one after another.

The audience in Linbei's live broadcast room almost all knew that Huang Jia and Chen Weiyu had already filmed and recorded the blue-ringed octopus.

He simply dumped the blue-ringed octopus in the bucket into the sea.

As soon as the little guy entered the sea, he burrowed into a piece of coral reef, and then disappeared into the depths of the coral reef in the blink of an eye.

"I'm going, didn't you say that the blue-ringed octopus is very slow?"

"The speed of escape is not slow." Lin Bei laughed.

A few people drove the speedboat in the ocean and patrolled a few more laps.

At this time, the sun has risen to the highest point, the scorching sun shines on the sea, and the air is full of humid and sultry heat.

The thighs of Huang Jia and Xue Feng on the speedboat were flushed from the sun.

Even the sea breeze that blows has a scorching breath.
