Feng Yi was holding a sea star.
The one he had thrown for fun had already been tossed far away, so he had grabbed another, preparing to throw it as well. After a moment's thought, however, he decided not to swim any farther.
Instead of swimming forward, he simply studied the sea star he was holding.
He had already seen this creature up close and from every angle in the small exhibition hall next to the dormitory area, and there were even diagrams of sea star anatomy on the wall. Naturally, Feng Yi wasn't curious about its structure.
What interested him was whether sea stars were afraid of him.
Marine life mainly relies on the transmission of chemical information in seawater to search for and catch prey. Substances like amino acids, nucleic acids, and organic molecules, which are nearly invisible to the naked eye, can be detected by their sensory organs.
Changes in the chemical information in the water would cause them to exhibit different behaviors.
