Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/   The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! Chapter 5: Transformation

The numbness and itch became more and more intense, and Xia Qiu couldn't bear it. He slowly floated up and rubbed against the cabin.

Zila.

Xia Qiu felt the itch slowed down a lot, but with friction, some things fell off the body.

What?

Xia Qiu quickly stopped and looked there, but it was too dark to see clearly.

So Xia Qiu went out of the cabin, found a rock, and continued to rub.

With friction, scales fall off.

Scale loss.

Xia Qiu stopped and looked at the scales on the ground, gray, yellow, and yellowish-brown scales.

Even though Xia Qiu stopped moving, the scales were still falling off.

What's going on?

Losing scales is not a good thing.

Scale functions very much and is a protective barrier for the body, a shell that prevents water loss, can also be used to disguise and isolate microorganisms and infections.

Scale can also reduce friction, reduce resistance, and make natural enemies unable to grasp the body when they are captured.

Fish scales have various shapes, divided into shield scales, hard scales, round scales, and comb scales.

Your own scales are round elbows, which are also a type of bone scales.

Unexpectedly, it fell off.

Most fish will never change their scales in their lifetime. The scales will grow slowly as the fish grows, and wide and narrow wheel rings will form on the scales. According to the number of wide and narrow wheel rings, the age of the fish can be distinguished.

Fish lose their scales, some because they tend to fall off, but most of them are because of parasites and bacteria.

Are you parasites and bacteria in your own body?

The numbness and itch always appeared, Xia Qiu was a little nervous, but he could only go back to the cabin and waited carefully.

The scales kept falling off. After about two hours, there were a large scale on the ground, and almost half of them fell off.

Xia Qiu accidentally touched the mud and sand in the cabin and the ground, and he could feel the perception clearer and a little pain.

This won't work.

Without the protection of scales, your body will become fragile.

But at this moment, Xia Qiu felt a tingling sensation on his body surface. The range of pain was very small, but it was like a needle prick.

Um?

Xia Qiu's nerves immediately tense up. What is this pain?

The pain is getting worse and worse, and the range is increasing. At first, it is near the tail, and then spreads. Finally, half of the body has a tingling feeling.

It feels like being stabbed by many needles, which makes people feel very painful.

Is it the impact of scales falling off?

But the next moment, the pain worsened again, as if something had penetrated the skin and slowly generated.

This is?

Xia Qiu felt the body surface slowly covering it, starting from the tail part, slowly creating a feeling of fulfillment bit by bit.

Xia Qiu quickly swam out of the cabin and came outside the cabin, landing on the sand, enduring the pain from the mud and sand touching the body, and then swinging his body and bent his body.

The body bent to a certain extent, and Xia Qiu saw the scene near his tail.

New scales.

I gave birth to new scales.

Although changing scales is rare, there are many fish on Earth who change scales.

And in One Piece's world, it's even less surprising.

Xia Qiu observed the new scales, which looked similar to the falling round lint, but had jagged bulges on the edges.

This is a comb scale.

Originally I was a round solid, but now I have become a comb scale.

Coffin scales and round nylon are both bone scales and are unique to bone fish, but comb scales are more common in higher fish, such as the order of perch.

Fish with comb scales are relatively large in size and can even grow to more than two meters.

The round elbow falls off and produces comb scales. The more famous one is the herring carp. When young fish are round elbows, they will be replaced with comb scales.

The color of my own comb scales has also changed.

It was originally light gray, with yellowish close to the fish's belly, while it was yellowish-brown.

Now it is silver-white, with silver scales, and the edges are white and silvery, which looks very beautiful.

I noticed that my scales were being generated, Xia Qiu let down his heart.

It's just changing the scales.

It's not a disease or parasite, or other reasons.

Xia Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the cabin to wait quietly. The pain seemed to have become much lighter.

But at this time, a feeling of hunger came.

So fast?

I ate a lot this time and could last for at least three hours, but now I am hungry in less than two hours.

Summer and autumn have to swim out of the cabin to find food.

Click.

Xia Qiu swallowed two or three shrimps. Now it swallowed the shrimps without spitting out its head, tail, and shrimp gun. After biting it, it all entered its belly.

School of sand drill fish.

Xia Qiu found a group of sand drill fish and rushed up immediately. The group of sand drill fish immediately fled in all directions.

But Xia Qiu was extremely fast. He found a sand drill fish and bit it in one bite. The three sharp teeth bite it off directly, swallowing most of the body, leaving only the head.

Wow.

Xia Qiu constantly chases the fish, and can often catch up with the fish that flees in the opposite direction and swallow them into the stomach.

Not long after, most of the group of sandy diamond fish were eaten, with only seven or eight.

Not enough.

Then he continued to search, his body approaching the bottom of the sea, looking for shrimps and crabs.

After eating two crabs and a few shrimps.

Xia Qiu ate two more lonely fish, filled his stomach, and slowly returned to the cabin.

The scales continue to fall off, and new scales slowly grow.

In the process of growing scales, the digestion speed of summer and autumn is also greatly enhanced, so we have to continue to prey.

In this way, two days passed.

All the round tines in summer and autumn fell off and were replaced with comb scales, which were more fine and tighter, and shined with silver light.

During the process of changing scales, Xia Qiu's body also changed and his body became more round.

Bang.

Xia Qiu approached a raised boat board, suddenly swung his body and pulled out his body.

Click.

The boat board broke directly and was pulled out without any pain in the body.

The scales become harder and the body becomes tougher and stronger.

I've become stronger.

Xia Qiu felt the changes in his body and felt very happy.

Becoming stronger makes it easier to survive.

Summer and autumn do not expect to be as powerful as a sea king, but at least you must have the ability to protect yourself.

Now I have no enemies in the area near the island.

Most of the fish here are between twenty centimeters and thirty centimeters, and the longest is only fifty centimeters, which is already relatively large.

Xia Qiu is now more than one meter long, with hard scales and tough body. It has powerful speed with huge pectoral fins, and has three sharp teeth, so that even the crab shell can be bitten open.

In this sea area, summer and autumn are invincible existences.

However, if you go a little deeper into the ocean and still in the offshore area, you can find even larger fish.

A giant that is more than two meters long and more than three meters long.

The shadow that appears by chance scares Xia Qiu back and extinguishes the desire to explore outward.

Due to the water depth, they are used to staying in areas with greater pressure and will not come here.

But Xia Qiu was afraid that one day they would come here by chance and find themselves.

So it's not enough, we need to continue to grow bigger and stronger.
