Chapter 8: Little Meat Balls
Last night's lurking place had been occupied by other fish, and after a glance, the creatures hiding in the confluence had changed, and there were many more creatures that I hadn't seen before, and I don't know if the original ones were gone or dead.
With last night's experience, Kun Yu swung his body and found a hiding place in the middle this time, and tonight he wanted to be the initiator of the feast.
After tossing for a long time, he finally hid his body in the mud, and a pair of eyes suddenly appeared beside him, startling Kun Yu, who had just hidden his body.
On closer inspection, a gray ball of flesh with only one pair of eyes and four short arthropods was hidden in the mud against Kun Yu's body.
Turning his head towards the confluence, the confluence was quiet, it was still early, and there should be no creatures swimming over now, so he turned his head and looked at the little ball of meat with interest.
Seeing Kun Yu looking over, the little meat ball took away the four small claws that were exposed and moved to the side, and the big eyes that accounted for one-third of the body suddenly closed, learning that the ostrich is blind and pure.
However, this closed eye surprised Kun Yu, since the crossing, all the creatures he has seen, including himself, as long as there are no eyelids, whether they are sleeping or in a daze, they will not close, this small ball of meat next to them actually has eyelids, and I didn't find it just now, this little guy's eyes are not on the side, but on the front like a mammal.
Just as Kun Yu was ready to study it, there was a sudden commotion at the confluence, and when he looked back, Kun Yu hurriedly shrank back.
Good fellow, a sturgeon with two large sturgeons swung its body and swam through the confluence, still chewing on minced meat in its mouth, and the predator crouching at the front of the confluence became the food in his mouth.
After thinking about it, Kun Yu shrank back again, this sturgeon is obviously a veteran, he understands the rules of the confluence very well, otherwise he would not easily find all kinds of creatures hidden with his heart.
As Kun Yu thought, there was some movement in the surrounding sludge, and the small drums moved for a while and then quickly fell silent.
Kun Yu, who only showed two eyes, stared at the big sturgeon swimming back and forth unscrupulously, and couldn't help but say a few words in his heart.
Soon, the big sturgeon swam to the top of Kun Yu's head, as if he knew that he had entered the encirclement, and the big sturgeon was also honest, and the speed of his tail flicked immediately increased a notch, and he rushed over the top of Kun Yu's head.
The surrounding creatures found that Kun Yu in the center did not move, and everyone did not move, and with their wisdom and instinct, they could judge what the price would be terrible if they went up.
Soon, the belly of the big sturgeon swept over Kun Yu's head, and the tail flicked and was about to disappear in front of Kun Yu's eyes.
Before Kun Yu could adjust his body, there was a sudden movement beside him, and the small meat ball that had been closing his eyes suddenly widened, and the four arthropod claws bent down hard, and the next moment they catapulted like cannonballs, and the gray body went straight to the abdomen of the big sturgeon.
Kun Yu, who was squatting on the side, looked at it coldly and didn't move, every creature has its own choice, life and death are fate, Kun Yu just wants to live well and evolve quickly now, and doesn't want to take meaningless adventures.
The nervously tense sturgeon spotted him the moment the small ball of flesh ejected, and the experienced sturgeon quickly twisted its body to avoid the vital point of its abdomen, and flung its powerful tail downward.
The small ball of flesh that bounced up fell back at a faster speed, stirring up a cloud of mud.
Kun Yu, who was hiding on the side, scolded in his heart, and took advantage of the mud splashing to block his vision, and quickly rushed out of the sludge, and quickly swam backwards with his body to the limit.
The sludge quickly fell, and a large mouth poked out of the falling sludge, tentacles like wire probing at the bottom of the river.
The little meat ball also found that he couldn't beat this behemoth at all, his big eyes were full of fear, and his four little claws were shrunk into the meat ball, completely forgetting that he could still run.
Kun Yu, who had already swam away, looked back, but the big sturgeon didn't catch up, so he found a water weed to hide his body first and watch what happened next.
The big sturgeon looked at the small ball of meat shrunk in the mud, compared its body shape, its eyes were full of surprise, and it couldn't figure out how such a small little guy had the courage to attack him.
However, the meat delivered to the door was not eaten in vain, and the big sturgeon opened its mouth to the maximum and was ready to swallow it in one gulp.
The big mouth that was about to fall finally made the little meat ball react, and the four little claws raised and kicked on the open mouth, floating backwards with the thrust.
The food flew to its mouth, and the big sturgeon's eyes burst into anger, staring at the small ball of meat that had fled, swinging its body and starting to accelerate.
Kun Yu, who was squatting in the grass and watching the excitement, scolded, who did he look for to provoke whom, he hid so far away, this little ball of meat could still find himself.
Looking at the little meat ball swimming towards him with an excited face, Kun Yu jumped up without saying a word, quickly swam to the depths, and the little meat ball that followed behind was stunned for a while, and then instantly accelerated to catch up.
Looking at the small meat balls that had already come out of the distance, the big sturgeon finally completed its acceleration and caught up.
Most of the three creatures quickly retreated wherever they went, and some of those who did not retreat also shrank back, looking at this rare scene with their heads held high.
While fleeing forward, Kun Yu looked back, a little surprised in his heart, this little meat ball looks ordinary but this speed is definitely not slow, and he didn't see how he used his strength to keep up with Kun Yu's speed, as for the big sturgeon that fell at the end, he spit out two bubbles angrily.
He was too big, and following the two nimble guys in front of him to drill in the water and grass seriously slowed down.
Kun Yu took the two behind him with his new home as the center, and ran around, even with Kun Yu's physical strength, he was a little unable to parry, the small meat ball could barely keep up, and the big sturgeon was about to foam at the mouth of the spit.
After going around in a circle, Kun Yu returned to the confluence.
On the way, Kun Yu kept thinking, can this big sturgeon be beaten by himself?
Honestly, yes.
But is it necessary?
Not necessarily.
In this confluence waters, there are dangers everywhere, and even if Kunyu and the great sturgeon can fight, they will definitely be seriously injured, and the consequence of serious injury will attract a large number of carnivorous creatures.
But now the big sturgeon must remember itself, and there is no point in getting rid of him simply by speed, unless you take the risk of swimming to the middle of the river now, or you will be able to encounter it in this body of water sooner or later, and you will still have to face this choice when the time comes.
The best way now is to find a way to keep this big sturgeon here, at least to seriously hurt him, don't look at his size, as long as he is seriously injured, other carnivorous creatures of the same size will definitely not easily let go of this delicious meal.
After going around and around, the final solution is still at the confluence, where the squatting predators are outlaws, as long as there is a leader, they dare to bite the whale in order to survive.
The creatures at the confluence looked at Kun Yu who had run away and came back in a circle, and they all showed their heads curiously, wanting to see what was going on.
There was still some distance from the confluence, and a large number of bubbles began to emerge from Kun Yu's mouth, and he didn't care whether he understood it or not, anyway, he rushed over with his face buried.
Fortunately, the intelligence of the creatures here is not low, most of them can understand the general meaning, and some of the dull ones don't care, it doesn't matter if they don't understand, just have a bite to eat.
Kun Yu, who had reached an agreement, quickly stopped in front of the confluence and flicked his tail to face the two guys who were following behind.
Seeing that Kun Yu had finally stopped in front of him, the little meat ball began to teardrop in both eyes, brushed Kun Yu past, stopped in the rear, and hid behind Kun Yu.
The big sturgeon that followed behind could no longer shake its tail, so it could only paddle backwards with its two fins, relying on its huge inertia to slide forward.
Seeing that the big sturgeon had already entered the attack distance, Kun Yu's body sank for a moment, and the slightly warm current in his body began to swim quickly throughout his body.
This first time he has to open it, the creatures that can survive at the confluence are not stupid, there is no high probability of killing the prey, no one will shoot, it is much better to be hungry than to die.
Looking at Kun Yu, who was accumulating strength not far away, the big sturgeon also reacted, looked at the looming figure at the confluence, and knew that he couldn't leave, and the anger in his eyes was about to turn into substance.
After just a short rest, the big sturgeon took the initiative to attack.
Kun Yu, who had been waiting, had already mobilized the muscles of his body, and he did not drag his tail out at the same time as the big sturgeon took the initiative to attack.
The two figures, one large and one small, collided together at an extremely fast speed, and the scales and blood flew out in an instant, and the struggle between the predator and the prey was like this, there were no bells and whistles at all, and the highest damage was dealt with with the greatest strength, and whoever fell first would die first.
Relying on his ability to recover quickly, Kun Yu took the most ferocious way of exchanging injuries for injuries, frantically biting the tender abdomen of the big sturgeon.
As an experienced veteran, the big sturgeon quickly saw through Kun Yu's purpose, and tried his best to tighten his abdomen while attacking Kun Yu with his mouth, and his strong tail was bent into a "c", and he pumped on Kun Yu's body again and again, taking away large scales with each blow.
The small ball of meat in the back floated in the water, his eyes were full of worry, but he also knew that he was only going up to deliver food, so he could only do it in a hurry.
Suddenly, the water at the confluence began to become muddy, and strange creatures emerged from the murky water, all of them passing through the side of the small meat ball as fast as they could, and rushed to the battlefield not far away.
The river began to smell of blood, and a trace of blood floated out of the battlefield and dissipated in the river, and soon blood began to gush out in strands.
In the center of the battlefield, the big sturgeon had gone crazy, its eyes were blood-red, there was no complete flesh and blood on its body, and some of it was so deep that it could already see its sternum.
With a hard flick of his tail, he threw out a few fish hanging on his body, and the big sturgeon looked at Kun Yu, who was recovering on the side, and spat out a huge bubble in his mouth.
Kun Yu, whose entire abdomen was already bloody and blurred, did not pay attention to him, he was mobilizing the golden liquid in his mind to quickly repair the injury, in nature, to be tolerant of predators is to be cruel to oneself.
The big sturgeon didn't expect Kun Yu to let him go, but he didn't try again, and several fierce carnivorous creatures pounced again, and he flicked his tail and fought again.
Time passed quickly, and the big sturgeon gradually couldn't hold on, and there were more and more carnivorous creatures hanging on their bodies, and before the big sturgeon died, they began to feast.
The look in his eyes began to blur, and the body of the big sturgeon gradually tilted, its mouth opened and closed uncontrollably, and the gills of the fish twitched rapidly.
Looking at the slowly sinking big sturgeon, Kun Yu did not rush forward, and soon the big sturgeon landed at the bottom of the river, and a burst of mud and sand fluttered, and the carnivorous creatures lying on him were all excited, looking for their favorite parts and starting to eat.
Kun Yu not only did not rush forward at this time, but quickly retreated far back, until he retreated to the side of the little meat ball who had not participated in the battle, and retreated back uneasily.
Looking at Kun Yu who kept retreating, the little meat ball was a little strange, but he didn't care about anything else, through his observation, this fish with strange color scales was a big daddy, and holding his thighs was the most important.
Kun Yu, who was about to retreat to the confluence mouth, looked at the small meat ball that was also following him, and didn't say anything, staring solemnly at the place where the big sturgeon was.
The bottom of the river, which was quiet, suddenly shook, and the many carnivorous creatures that had been lying on the body of the giant sturgeon all dispersed quickly.
A dark mist emanated from the sturgeon's body, and all creatures that came into contact with it shriveled up and died in an instant.
The mist quickly dispersed, and none of the creatures that lay on the body of the giant sturgeon and devoured them escaped.
Eventually, the black mist converged and condensed into the shape of a large sturgeon.
The pitch-black big sturgeon seemed to have some consciousness, looked in the direction of Kun Yu, opened its mouth unwillingly, roared silently, and a stream of water was pushed towards Kun Yu.
The current dissipated in front of Kun Yu, and the pitch-black sturgeon took one last look at Kun Yu and slowly dissipated.
