Chapter 11 The King of Freshwater Fish
Lin Shuo usually speaks, his tone is flat, and the volume is not loud.
And this sentence "Beware!" collapsed from the dantian, like a thunderbolt, and everyone was yelled at by him.
Everyone panicked and looked at Lin Shuo who was standing by the river. Then they saw the flickering white light on the river.
The white light swept across the chain bridge at a very fast speed, and it was the middle of the day when the sun was fierce, and the thing was reflected all over, and most people didn't see what it was.
However, the white light swept over the bridge and fell back into the water, but there was not much movement, as if a stone had fallen into the water.
Liu Qing is not only an equipment expert in the mercenary team, but also an excellent sniper, her eyesight is far better than ordinary people, and she exclaimed: "It's a fish!"
As she spoke, she put her hands in front of her, comparing the length of less than half a meter, and added, "It's so big." ”
Wei Xingshan glanced at Lin Shuo and felt that Lin Shuo was making a big fuss.
He still thought that what was in Lin Shuo's mouth was a big guy, but it turned out to be just a fish?
That's right, this fish jumped quite high, jumping over the bridge deck of about ten meters, but it was just a fish.
Wei Xingshan laughed dryly and made a round: "This is indeed a safety hazard." This fish is not big, but it is not small, in case it hits it, it is not very comfortable. ”
That being said, the mercenaries below quit:
"Oh, I'll go, we've been tired this morning, like grandsons, just for a fish. ”
"Hey, if you really have to wait for us to cross the river, if this fish bumps into it without knowing whether it is alive or dead, we will catch it with a dagger, and dinner will be there." ”
"Mr. Lin also has a time when he is blind. ”
"Okay, you guys. People are also for our safety, stop talking nonsense, let's work. ”
Anne looked at Lin Shuo, who was speechless, with questions flashing in her eyes. However, this beauty has a lively mind, and when she looks at Lin Shuo's expression at the moment, she knows that things are far from so simple.
Lin Shuo ignored everyone and stared at the river.
One of his hands, slowly leaning back, touched the quiver behind his back.
"Everybody stand back. Seeing this, Anne reminded softly.
Before the words fell, another white light swept out of the water.
Immediately afterward, a succession of white light rose rapidly from the surface of the river, skimming through the parabolas in mid-air.
Some of the fish, some jumped lower and scurried under the bridge, and some jumped directly over the chain bridge.
There were also a few that were not so lucky, and they crashed into the iron cable with a "bang", changed their flight trajectory, and struggled to fall back into the water.
These fish are not small, and there are more and more of them, jumping out of the water.
Everyone thought it was fun at first, and it was a spectacle.
But not long after, as more and more fish jumped out of the water, everyone's eyes began to be overwhelmed, and their faces became more and more ugly.
It's true that a fish isn't scary, but it's a little scary that so many fish jump out of the water.
Both biologists and mercenaries present had a question in mind.
Why did this school of fish jump out of the water?
And they are still jumping so high, how amazing should the initial velocity when they come out of the water?
Is there something chasing after them?
Lin Shuo's expression became more and more solemn, he reached for his hand behind his back, and slowly drew an arrow from a recurve bow.
This kind of arrow is much thicker than ordinary arrows, as thick as someone's arm, nearly two meters long, in Lin Shuo's hand, it is like a javelin with a thick circle.
After a minute or two, the group of fish that had leaped over the chain bridge seemed to have passed in large groups, and fewer and fewer fish jumped out of the water.
At this moment, there was an unusual white light, and as soon as it came out of the water, its trajectory was different from that of other fish.
It jumped from a horizontal position less than five meters from the chain bridge, threw it high, and reached the very top of the parabola at a height of five or six meters above the chain bridge, just above the chain bridge.
Its spindle-shaped form paused for less than half a second.
Only then did everyone see that this fish was actually gray-blue.
Just when this big fish, which was more than half a meter long and looked like it was more than ten catties, stretched its body in mid-air and was about to fall back, there was a huge sound of water on the river, and a behemoth rushed out of the river!
It was a monster more than ten meters long!
With a pointed beak and a round head, the streamlined body is yellow and white, and there are patches of sharp spines on the sides of the body.
It was like a runaway truck, driving out of the water at high speed and crashing headfirst into the big fish that jumped the highest.
The tail of the behemoth hit the chain bridge, causing the entire chain bridge to make a loud noise, shaking from side to side sharply.
It was too late, and the behemoth that had finished the hunt had already crossed the bridge and fell back into the rushing river.
A huge splash of water splashed on the shore, and everyone hurriedly dodged subconsciously, as if in response to Anne's reminder to step back just now.
Wei Xingshan looked at the river that had gradually returned to calm, and his face turned blue.
The others also couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and whatever it was, as long as the individual reached that level, it was very scary.
The more people thought about it, the more scared they became.
If there was no reminder from Lin Shuo just now, let alone being hit or bitten by that thing, just letting such a big guy fly past him would scare people out of his mind.
"Freshwater Fish King. Lin Shuo had already inserted the arrow in his hand back into the quiver, and his expression relaxed, "It's the one that left a fishy smell on the bridge." This thing doesn't pose much of a threat. ”
"This fish is also called a mackerel. Yang Tuo lifted his glasses and said, "The waters near Heilongjiang are the habitat of this fish, and the largest fish can weigh several tons.
The fish that jumped off the bridge just now is actually salmon, which is a cold-water anadromous spawning migratory fish and an important food for the fish. ”
Old man He Zihong nodded slightly, and then further explained:
"Every year when the autumn winds are blowing, salmon return to freshwater in large numbers to spawn. The waters here are the narrowest in the vicinity, and there are plenty of reefs in the river. When a large number of fish pass by, they are forced to slow down, but behind them, there are natural predators chasing after them.
These salmon can only jump out of the water to avoid predators. This is the spectacle of the Leaping Iron Bridge just now.
What's even rarer is the fish just now.
It's rare for a wild ray to have such a large individual!"
"The people who built this chain bridge don't understand biology. Yang Tuo lifted his glasses, shook his head and said, "Building a bridge here, and it is also a chain bridge with very poor stability, it is indeed too unsafe, no wonder no one dares to cross the bridge." ”
"Xiao Yang, you're wrong. He Zihong said, "If it is because of the hunting behavior of this fish, it endangers the safety of the bridge." Then just kill the eel, don't look at that eel as big, but how can it be a fisherman's opponent?
You must know that wild rayfish in northeast China are almost extinct.
How could a ready-made bridge be abandoned because of the threat of a fish? Isn't this a waste of food because of choking?
So, it's anomalous, why are there such big fish? Since it often appears here, the people here, why not hunt it. ”
Speaking of this, He Zihong looked at Lin Shuo and asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
"That's right. Liu Qing also asked, "Mr. Lin, why didn't you take action just now? This can also be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, right?"
"This freshwater fish king is just hunting, and he didn't provoke us, why should I make a move?" Lin Shuo glanced at her.
The starling bird on Lin Shuo's shoulder spoke: "Don't look at the size of this thing, it's just a mallet in a fight." Even if Brother Shuo enters the water, he can only exert one percent of his ability, and it will take a few minutes to clean it up. Brother Shuo, this job is not very difficult, why don't you give them a 5% discount, 5 million US dollars?"
Starling bird's words stunned everyone.
Anne's expression stiffened: "Eighth master, I think it's better to forget it." We do have limited funding. ”
"You bitche is so stingy. "Starling birds, don't look over.
Lin Shuo didn't pay attention to the bird, but pointed to the chain bridge: "Now that the danger has temporarily passed, let's hurry up and cross the bridge." If Professor He has any questions, just ask the locals. ”
"What about these woods?" Wang Yong asked at this time, looking at the red-barked spruce, looking a little distressed.
Not only Wang Yong, but other mercenaries who have contributed their efforts are also a little reluctant, after all, it took a lot of effort to get it.
"Then you slowly build the bridge, and I'll go first. Lin Shuo threw down these words, jumped lightly, jumped onto an iron cable, and then walked forward slowly.
The iron rope was pressed by the weight of the recurve bow on his back under his feet, not only collapsed straight, but also made a "rattling" sound, as if it could break at any moment.
This iron cable was still not broken in the end, and Lin Shuo's figure disappeared into the mountains and forests on the other side.
