Chapter 3 Hunting and Killing Conch
After his body length reached 5 cm, Zhang Wei finally had a little attack power. Although this attack power was very small, he could at least prey. Even if the nutrition of plankton was still good, it was not as good as blood food. Moreover, as his size gradually grew, it was obvious that eating a little plankton could not fill his stomach. After all, the killing crab was born an excellent hunter! Although God made it ugly,
But God also gave it powerful physical conditions. The hard shell, huge body, 10 hard and sharp crab legs, and the fast and sensitive reaction speed. These elements combined are simply amazing! No wonder even humans sometimes become their prey. It is said that more than 100 people have died in the hands of killing crabs in the world. It is a very amazing number. It is estimated that tigers around the world have not eaten so many people in recent decades, which shows its terribleness.
If the murderous crabs were not usually staying in the sea, and were basically limited to the southeastern coast of Japan, and their contact with humans was relatively small, the number of casualties might have been several times.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhang Wei now. What he wants to do now is to carry out his first hunt. He has eaten enough of the plankton, and it is time to see the bloody. Although he is still just a 5-centimeter crab, he can already hunt.
Through the past half month of observation, Zhang Wei has basically figured out most of the situation within a few hundred meters nearby. The killing crab territory where he is now is about five or six hundred acres, and there are more than 30 adult killing crabs. The smallest adult female killing crabs are more than one meter, and the largest one is almost between 2.5 and 2.6 meters. You should know that this is just a head, not the length of the body. If their feet are stretched out, the claws of the smallest adult killing crab will be nearly two meters long. The length of the claws of the largest killing crab is estimated to be more than four meters, and Zhang Wei estimates that it may be between 4.2 and 4.3 meters.
Moreover, the killing crab population where Zhang Wei is located is a small group and is very small in scale. If it is a large group, there may be a larger killing crab. It is said that a Japanese fisherman once saw a killing crab with a head of about ten meters, but he didn't know whether it was true or false. However, even a killing crab with a length of more than four meters in length of a crab claw, it was already very scary. Generally, an ordinary family car is about four meters long, and its size can be seen from this.
In addition to more than 30 adult killer crabs, there are about fifty killer crabs in this small population that are more than 30 cm. These medium-sized killer crabs have overcome the danger of childhood and are considered to be the teenage group among killer crabs.
There are about a thousand remaining killing crabs, of which more than 10 centimeters are between 10 centimeters and 30 centimeters in size, which are considered as murderous crabs in childhood. As for the remaining more than 10 centimeters in size, their survival is quite difficult. You should know that half a month ago, the number of young killing crabs under 10 centimeters may be more than a few thousand. However, in just over a dozen days, most of the young crabs were eliminated by nature. Various predators are their biggest enemies, whether they are pomfrets, hairtails, squids, moray eels, octopus, or many marine creatures that Zhang Wei did not know like to live on crabs. Especially the murderous crabs in childhood are their delicious meals on the plate. Whenever large killing crabs go out to hunt, it is time for these craftsmen to invade.
Moreover, many small crabs usually crawl out of the territory of killing crabs, but soon lost their lives. This also made Zhang Wei afraid to leave his ethnic territory, so as to avoid accidents.
So the hunting location he chose this time was still within the territory of the tribe, because he did not have strong self-protection ability. Their territory was a seabed with a depth of about 60 or 70 meters. One-third of the seabed was rocks and two-thirds of the soft sand. In addition to the frequent swimming of fish above the sea surface, only small fish, shrimps, shell conchs, and other small animals living in the territory of killing crabs. The slightly larger creatures have entered the belly of the killing crabs, and the rest have already escaped.
Of course, the reason why these small marine creatures can survive in the territory of killing crabs is definitely not because the big killing crabs are kind-hearted. It is mainly because the individuals of these foods are too small, and the big killing crabs no longer look down on these small things. Therefore, these small marine creatures have become a good source of blood food for young killing crabs, which is enough to support them to grow faster.
The first target Zhang Wei chose was a 6-centimeter conch, which lived in the periphery of the killer crab territory. He quickly climbed over and grabbed the shell of the conch, and immediately shook the conch into the shell of the conch. Zhang Wei quickly used big pliers to prepare to clamp it out, you must know that crabs are masters who eat conch.
Although the conch desperately retracted into the conch shell, Zhang Wei's pliers still grabbed a small part of the meat. In the pain, the conch suddenly rushed out and overturned Zhang Wei to the ground.
"Damn it, the little conch dares to be arrogant with me, and I don't want to eat you!" Zhang Wei was a little angry and embarrassed. He was overturned to the ground by a conch, which made him feel embarrassed. Although the conch was bigger than him and weighed almost twice his weight. However, conch was a marine creature without aggressiveness, and he was a murderous crab at least, although it was just a young boy who was only half a month old.
After overturning Zhang Wei, the conch immediately wanted to escape. Unfortunately, it was too slow. Even if it used all the strength in its body, the movement speed was still very slow. Zhang Wei waved his claws and crawled over quickly. A pair of majestic big claws clamped towards the conch again.
Although the conch's ability to shrink the head is still superb, it is not so lucky this time. Zhang Wei used one of his thin legs to stab the conch's flesh like a needle. Although it struggled very hard, he still did not escape the fate of death.
After waiting for about a minute, the conch gradually stopped struggling. Zhang Wei slowly dragged the conch's body out of the conch shell, and the next time it was time for him to enjoy a delicious meal. Compared to those plankton, the conch meat tasted so delicious!
