Chapter 1645 Immortal Ghost

Of course, this kind of invisibility is physical, because the sea beast itself is in the form of a nearly transparent jellyfish. Therefore, after they wrap up the four pirates, it is difficult for ordinary people to spot the four pirates, but they still exist in the real space. , so there is no way to escape Qin An's super vision.

"A mutant species of lighthouse jellyfish, a twenty-fourth level mutated sea beast, an immortal ghost!"

"What?"

Weng Lan heard Qin An's soft words to himself and didn't quite understand, so he asked.

"Oh, the enemy I'm talking about is a mutant species of the lighthouse jellyfish. The lighthouse jellyfish is a very strange jellyfish. It is carnivorous, can extend its tentacles, and release nematocysts to entangle, paralyze, and poison its prey. Put the food into the mouth. The mucus secreted by the gland cells in the oral area is conducive to the swallowing of food. After the food enters the gastric cavity, the gland cells in the gastric layer begin to secrete proteases to decompose and digest the food to form polypeptides. At the same time, in the gastric cavity due to the nutrition of muscle cells The flagellar movement allows the food to be mixed and pushed. After this extracellular digestion, the intracellular digestion process begins. The pseudopods that nourish the muscle cells engulf the food particles and form a large number of food bubbles in the cells. After acidic and alkaline digestion, After chemical processes, nutrients are transported throughout the body by cellular diffusion..."

Weng Lan turned around and looked at Qin An, dumbfounded.

"You... know so much."

"Haha, I saw this in the book. As a person with powers, I just have a better memory. The most peculiar thing about lighthouse jellyfish is actually its reproduction method. They can reproduce asexually from polyps, and they are the only known species that can reproduce from polyps. An organism whose sexual maturity stage returns to the larval stage. It takes 25 to 30 days to reach the sexual maturity stage in a water temperature of 20°C. It is characterized by the ability of sexually mature individuals to return to the polyp form, which is called differentiation transfer. Theoretically, this There is no limit to the number of times this process can occur. This jellyfish can obtain an unlimited lifespan through repeated normal reproduction and transdifferentiation. Therefore, it is also called the 'immortal jellyfish'. More accurately, it should be 'rejuvenation'. Unless eaten by other animals. , otherwise the lighthouse jellyfish is 'immortal'."

"Oh my God, so powerful?"

"Yes, as a pre-apocalyptic species, the lighthouse jellyfish has such an ability to defy the heavens. After research, some scientists believe that their reverse regeneration process requires certain conditions to be completed, so they do not agree with this theory about their immortality. However, after the end of the world, the Tibetan Academy of Sciences did some research and believed that the lighthouse jellyfish can actually live forever, and all its mutants are very powerful, especially this kind of immortal ghost. The lighthouse jellyfish belongs to lower animals, and lower animals The ability to self-repair or regenerate is more common, and there are many ways. The lower the level, the stronger this ability. For example, planarians of flatworms will grow into many strange shapes through cutting surgery; earthworms will have a lot of strange shapes after being cut off. After a small part is lost, it will grow back through regeneration. In the higher animals we think of, this ability has declined or disappeared. If a human is missing an arm, it is impossible to grow another one... Low There may be some similarities between the self-repair mechanism of other animals and the vertebrate stem cell function research and development experiments that are of great concern to the academic community, but the root cause is still unclear. After the sword spirit gas invaded the earth, higher animals became infected after being infected. The ability to self-repair is what we, the supernatural beings, have. Some lower animals have more powerful repair abilities, among which the immortal ghost, a mutant of the lighthouse jellyfish, is the most powerful. All the abilities of the lighthouse jellyfish before the end of the world Almost all of them have been perfectly mutated, possessing powerful toxicity, their tentacles have paralysis characteristics that ignore defense, can spray very corrosive stomach acid, have super self-repair capabilities, are close to infinite clones, and can be reborn after complete death! In short This is a very nasty sea beast. Even if it faces a much stronger opponent, there is no need to be afraid, because it is almost unkillable and its vitality is much more powerful than the mutant species of tardigrade."

Weng Lan was even more speechless now. He didn't expect such a terrifying monster to exist.

"Then can we beat them?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem. The way to kill them is actually very simple. Just kill every cell in their bodies. Don't worry, I have a way to deal with it. However, I am very curious about their relationship with the four pirates. The way of union between them. The four pirates were originally ordinary people, but the undead ghost could be directly integrated with their bodies, and then gave them powerful super powers. This kind of mutant is different from the mutation of Sword Spirit Star The mutants are also different from the terrestrial mutants... Fighting fish? I just heard a child say that maybe this is how they fight, and they can instantly combine with sea beasts to become more agile humanoid creatures. It should be a new and strange fusion method formed by the integration of sea beasts and humans in the past few decades! I think the person leading all of this must be a powerful and intelligent sea beast, which should be in the Hawaiian Islands, the home of pirates!"

"Qin An, why are your eyes so bright? Do you really want to go there to explore?"

Qin An smiled slightly and said:

"Yes, if there really is a super sea monster BOSS on the islands in the middle of the sea, it would be worth my trip to fight for it! With the resources of the entire sea, I think they must have collected a lot of sword soul fragments. If I can get them, Then in the future, more people can be resurrected in the Necromantic Space, and our Tianji Fortress will also have weapon energy! In the future, more superpowers will appear in the Kowloon City. Isn't this a great thing?"

"But if the opponent is really a super sea monster BOSS, what if you can't defeat it?"

"Haha, what else can we do? Just run away if we can't fight. Let's not be in a hurry. We will destroy these pirates. Now, I didn't get much information about the Hawaiian Islands from their conversation. I'll capture a prisoner later and ask. ! An island wrapped by the Pacific Ocean. If we can snatch it, it would be good to build a base there, a sea city in the center of the Pacific Ocean in the apocalypse! Hey, I remember you always wanted to travel to Hawaii, but you always There was no chance, but now it seems that the opportunity has come. Let's go grab the entire Hawaiian Islands, and then let you be the city lord, okay? Think about that pirate beach, how beautiful the sea is under the starry sky? In the future, when we get old, When the apocalypse is over, take your family to settle down!"

Qin An said it seriously, and Weng Lan finally showed a smile on her face. She liked Qin An in front of her, just like she felt deep in her heart...
