Extra: Little Jellyfish and Big Sea Monster

As a little pink jellyfish, Su Xing leads a carefree life.

Day after day he drifted with the seawater, devouring plankton in the water.

Occasionally, he would like a snack.

It extends its tentacles to wrap around small fish swimming by, releasing toxins to paralyze and kill the prey.

Although he looks soft and cute, like a cherry blossom-flavored jelly, Su Xing is extremely toxic.

When his tentacles entangle a fish or shrimp, the stinging cells on the tentacles will pierce the venomous stingers into the fish and shrimp's bodies, injecting deadly toxins into them.

No matter how big and strong the fish is, as long as it is entangled in his tentacles, it will die in just a few dozen seconds.

Because of Su Xing's extremely poisonous nature, most marine creatures avoid him.

This kind of life is great, at least he doesn't have to worry about waking up with a piece of his body bitten by a fish.

Although it is really bitten, it is not a big deal. He has a strong ability to repair and regenerate, and he can quickly recover as before.

He was knocked to the rocks by huge waves and his body was torn apart.

But instead of dying, he returned to his cub form.

To be more precise, every piece of his body returned to its cub form.

Several young Su Xings looked at each other in confusion.

This feeling is very strange.

He split open and became many different versions of himself.

Like avatar technique, or cloning.

New waves washed away the young Su stars and scattered them across the ocean.

This is Su Xing No. 1, or it could be No. 5, No. 6, No. 7 or something else.

In short, he is Su Xing.

After the accident that shattered him and reborn him, it took him nearly a month to grow again before he turned back into a tender little pink jellyfish.

It has an umbrella cover that is as elastic and translucent as cherry blossom jelly, and has slender and poisonous tentacles.

Oh, and he still has "eyes."

They are distributed on the edge of his umbrella. Some eyes can detect changes in light and shadow, while others can detect colors and object sizes.

These eyes give him a 360° ultra-wide field of vision, allowing him to better avoid obstacles and forage.

To celebrate his return to his best condition, Su Xing decided to catch a fish as a snack.

Su Xing contracts the inner cavity, squeezes out the water, and swims upstream.

As soon as he swam from the bottom of the sea to the surface, preparing to catch a lucky little fish for dinner, Su Xing noticed that the surrounding light became dim, the sea water surged, and the rumble of thunder came from above.

A storm is coming.

The unlucky Su Xing was swept away by the surging waves again.

The only good thing is that he didn't hit the rocks this time, nor did he fall apart.

Otherwise, he would have to start all over again from his juvenile body.

When the waves subsided, Su Xing shook his head and started swimming dizzy.
