Live: My Ocean Ranch

The little black dot tumbled in the sea water and swam towards Jiangnan with all its strength.

The bullet screen in the live broadcast room also exploded instantly.

"Oh my god, there's something on the sea!"

"What animal is that? It's too far away, I can't see it clearly!"

"It's swimming towards the island owner."

"I can see clearly, it's a shark!"

"Island owner, you and I are destined to be together. This phoenix child will give you eight words: Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best strategy!"

"You are really a phoenix child. How can you walk in the water? You are obviously running!"

"Oh my god, the island owner's first day at work is about to become his last day."

"Island owner, it's the end!"

Jiangnan glanced at the barrage and turned around to swim towards the small black dot.

For a moment, the audience in the live broadcast room was shocked.

As Jiangnan got closer, they finally saw clearly what the small black dot was.

No wonder the island owner swam over without fear. It turned out that he had already seen clearly that it was a kind sea turtle.

Jiangnan noticed that the sea turtle was 1.3 meters long and weighed about 100 kilograms, which was in its prime.

Not only that, Jiangnan also found that he had picked up a treasure.

Because this is a second-level protected green turtle.

The green turtle's back is covered with "volcano-like" shelled...creatures.

Barnacles!

This thing can be said to be the nightmare of all marine animals and ships.

Once entangled by barnacles, it is basically difficult to get rid of them.

As the number of barnacles on the body increases, some marine animals will die.

Of course, this is for some marine animals and ships.

For marine creatures and humans who like to eat it, it is nothing.

"Hehe, I'm so lucky."

Jiangnan floated his head out of the sea and explained: "There are eight species of sea turtles in the world: leatherback turtles, loggerhead turtles, hawksbill turtles, olive ridley turtles, green turtles, olive ridley turtles and flatback turtles. All sea turtles are listed as endangered species."

"Among them, green turtles are contemporary with dinosaurs and are famous living fossils."

"Green turtles can generally live for more than 100 years. The longest-lived green turtle on record lived for 152 years, making it a centenarian among animals."

"I never thought that one day I could learn knowledge by watching live broadcasts!"

"Contemporary with dinosaurs? That's incredible!"

"How old is this green turtle? Could he be the grandparents of the island owner?"

"Green turtle: This guy knows a lot, so I will be merciful and let his grandson go!"

"What are those densely packed things on the turtle's back?"

"This green turtle looks only about 30 years old, and the ones on its back are barnacles!"

Jiangnan explained: "Carrying these things, you will either die of exhaustion or starve to death in the sea... Of course, the biggest possibility is that you can't swim fast and get eaten, so you can see that this green turtle just swam very hard!"

"Come ashore with me first, I will help you remove the barnacles on your body."

Jiangnan looked at the green turtle not far away, turned around and began to lead the way.

The big turtle seemed to understand something, not afraid at all, and followed Jiangnan closely.

It seemed that it felt the kindness of the human in front of it, and was not nervous or alert.

With Jiangnan leading the way, the big turtle swam a little easier.

Soon, one person and one turtle reached the shore.

As soon as he got ashore, Jiangnan began to reach out and pick up barnacles.

Those that could be caught were easy to pick up.

Because the upper layer of barnacles were all attached to other barnacles, and the attachment force was not strong.

Jiangnan could easily pick them off.

Just pick them off and they fell off.

These were easy to pick up, but those attached to the turtle shell were difficult.

Not only could he not catch them, but he couldn't even pick them off with his fingers.

"Hey! How dare you parasitize on others!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiangnan had turned around and took out a shiny dagger.

The tip of the knife was pressed against the gap between the turtle shell and the barnacle. With a slight pry and a strong push, the stubborn barnacle finally fell off.

Jiangnan's technique was neat and tidy, as if he had killed fish for ten years at RT-Mart, and the green turtle didn't feel any pain.

After removing the barnacles, he felt very comfortable and shook his body gently.

"Ding! Green turtle feels very comfortable, intimacy value +10, Green turtle, please be faster!"

(Intimacy value can be used to upgrade [Basic Taming Technique]).

What?

This works too?

Since it can be used to upgrade the Taming Technique, Jiangnan is no longer polite and works harder.

Catch a barnacle.

+10 intimacy

Intimacy value.

In the end, Jiangnan put the barnacles in a pile and left them there, and he also gained 150 intimacy value.

"Today's dinner is ready!"

Jiangnan smiled and said, "Don't think that these barnacles are disgusting because I picked them. In fact, they are edible and can treat stomachache and acid reflux. Just like cicadas, although they are harmful, they are not only edible, but also have medical value."

"I didn't expect that this thing looks disgusting, but it can be eaten."

"Abalone looks disgusting, but it can still be eaten."

"I want to ask, is this abalone serious?"

"The island owner's hands are so beautiful, and the word "knock" is also very clever. I like it."

"Island owner, I am a barnacle, you come and pick me."

"I feel like the wheels of a car ran over my face."

"I'm asking for a friend of mine, island owner, do you have a girlfriend?"

"If it's the island owner's brother, it's okay to pick it."

The speed of the live broadcast room is getting faster and faster. If you don't know, you might think it's Mo Zi's live broadcast room.

[Koi that drinks pesticides and blows bubbles] gave a reward for a treasure map, with an additional message: Why are sea turtles protected animals if they are so resilient?

"That's a good question. Finally someone has provided the details."

Jiangnan used Lu Dehua's common phrases and explained in the same tone: "Sea turtles can indeed survive, but baby turtles are too fragile."

"After they rush out of the eggs, they must immediately get out of the sand and crawl to the sea a hundred meters away."

"During this period, countless seabirds will be entrenched nearby."

"Many of them are buried in the belly of birds less than an hour after they are born."

"That's not all. Even if they survive from the bird's mouth by chance, they still have to find a way to integrate into the sea."

"Not to mention the various predators in the sea, the turbulent waves alone are enough to make them suffer."

"Out of a hundred baby turtles, only twenty can successfully survive the first year, and less than one in a thousand can grow to adulthood."

As soon as Jiangnan finished speaking, Lao Liu jumped out of the live broadcast room.

"That's nothing. Back then, I also stood out from the army of millions."

"Fuck! The truth is out!"

"Li Yunlong: You are really a talent."

Jiangnan smiled and continued: "In addition to the natural environment, humans are also the biggest threat to sea turtles."

"Sea turtles are treasures. Their meat is delicious and nutritious. It is a tonic with high nutritional value, so it attracts humans to hunt and kill them indiscriminately."

"According to estimates by relevant nature conservation organizations, in the 1980s, about 300,000 adult sea turtles were killed by humans every year."

While speaking, Jiangnan had removed all the barnacles on the green turtle.

He looked up and down and found that the lines on the turtle shell were all corroded.

But fortunately, it was not too much, and the turtle shell was not pierced.

Fortunately, I helped in time, otherwise the green turtle would have died.

The green turtle was not afraid of Jiangnan, and slowly crawled over and gently rubbed Jiangnan's trouser leg with its head.

"Heh! Feeling comfortable now?"

Jiangnan pointed to the sea and said, "How did you get here? Let's go back. I won't keep you here."

The green turtle tilted its head to look at the sea, then looked at Jiangnan, and lay there motionless, with no intention of leaving.
