Chapter 1133 Catch the Electric Eel
Yang Meng looked puzzled: "Why are you so nervous? Look at that fish, how beautiful it is to swim, such a long pelvic fin, like a black ribbon, there is a living water tank on the boat, there are many beautiful fish in it, I caught it as a pet, and I want to raise this one too! And it's also big, this fish can be two meters long, right? It's too much in line with my aesthetics." β
Xiao Peng tilted his head and looked happy: "Dude, do you want to raise it? Then your previous efforts may be in vain." β
Yang Meng was stunned: "What do you mean? Isn't this a pet fish?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Well, in the Huaxia market, the close relatives of this thing are indeed pet fish, but that is also after domestication." It's better not to provoke it if it's so wild. β
"Can it still kill me?" Yang Meng asked with a disdainful expression.
Xiao Peng nodded: "It can indeed kill you." β
"What's that?" Yang Meng's eyes widened.
At this moment, a black caiman swam over and bit the fish directly, which made Yang Meng unexpected, only to hear a crackling sound on the water, the black caiman convulsed, and not long after, the black caiman was facing the sky on its back and died with the black fish.
This startled Yang Meng: "Damn, what the hell is this?"
Xiao Peng explained: "This is called the electric eel, his close relative line feather electric eel is very popular in our domestic tropical fish market, we usually say 'devil's knife' or 'black feathers' are that thing, the price is not expensive, the seedlings are only a few dollars a piece, just tell you, this fish swims up dexterously and wonderfully, plus the whole body is as black as ink, the hunting speed is very fast, so it is very popular with fish lovers, but you don't compare this thing with the line feather electric eel, this is the deadliest killer in the Amazon River." β
Walter then explained: "Mr. Yang, this electric eel has the strongest discharge ability among all living creatures, with an output voltage of up to 800 volts, which is several times the power supply we usually have at home, so it is really easy for them to electrocute a person." β
Yang Meng was dumbfounded: "Such an eel is so powerful?"
Walter shook his head: "Well, although he looks like an eel and has the word 'eel' in his name, it really has nothing to do with eels, to be precise, he and catfish are close relatives." And as you can see, he has a similar ability to the hyoid fish, which is that he can also breathe air directly, so you can see it on the surface of the water. β
Yang Meng's eyes widened: "How can this thing have so much power?"
Walter studied biology, so the question was pediatric for him: "There are electric eel muscles in the electric eel, and there are tens of thousands of muscle sheets arranged on both sides of the tail of an adult electric eel like this, and each muscle sheet can produce a voltage of 150 millivolts, but with so many muscle paddles together to generate electricity, the power can be imagined." β
Yang Meng asked curiously: "Then can't this electric eel generate electricity for itself? Isn't water a conductor? It should also be able to be electrified, right?"
Wald nodded: "You're right, the electric eel will give itself a certain degree of electric shock every time it discharges. However, the electric eel has connective tissue separating the power generation bodies from each other, and the vital organs in its body are surrounded by very insulating structures. But this is all in the water, and if it generates electricity without the water, it will be electrocuted by itself. β
After hearing this, Xiao Peng sighed: "Nature is really magical. Then I have one last question. β
Walter asked curiously, "Mr. Yang, what other questions do you have?"
Xiao Peng asked him a question: "His last question was: 'Is this thing edible?'"
Walter laughed: "It seems that the most important thing for Chinese people is to eat." Mr. Yang, I can tell you responsibly that this fish is delicious. It is one of the favorite foods of the indigenous people here. Every year during the dry season, the Amazon River often has some dry pools, and electric eels are trapped in them. At that time, they lacked food and could not replenish electricity, so they became a meal on the plate of the indigenous people. β
Yang Meng's eyes lit up after hearing this, looking at the electric eel in the river, it was dead anyway, he just wanted to fish it up, but a black caiman directly bit the electric eel and dived into the water.
"Damn, dare to rob my fish!" Yang scolded angrily.
Lulu watched Xiao Peng's movements, blinked, and suddenly jumped ashore with a long knife and rope.
"Lulu, what are you doing?" Yang Meng shouted.
Lulu waved her hand and slipped into the rainforest. Xiao Peng: They looked at each other.
After about an hour, Lulu returned. Carrying a cattail on his shoulder. The cattone was still alive, but it was tied up like a rice dumpling by Lulu.
"Brother Peng, what is she doing here, let us eat catkins today?" Yang Meng asked Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "How do I know what she's going to do?"
When Lulu reached the shore, she didn't go straight to the boat, but let go of the cat, tied it around its neck with only a rope, and then looked into the water as if she was looking for something.
Yang Meng just wanted to see what Lulu was going to do, but saw her run to a river, throw the catfish directly into the water, and then saw the catfish rolling on the water. Then he just belly up and didn't move.
Then Lulu jumped directly into the water, grabbed it from the water, and an electric eel more than one meter long was grabbed by her and lifted up.
Seeing her dragging the catfish with one hand and the electric eel back to the boat with the other, Xiao Peng and the others were dumbfounded: "What the hell is this?"
Lulu picked up the banana knife, chopped off the electric eel's head with a knife, and handed the electric eel to Yang Meng: "It's delicious!"
Yang Meng took the electric eel and froze in place.
"I'll go, these sisters are too tigers!" Xiao Peng sighed: "It's a really special pair with you!"
After hearing this, Yang Meng directly compared his middle finger to Xiao Peng, Lulu didn't understand what it meant, but he also looked at Xiao Peng with his middle finger, Xiao Peng laughed: "What is this called? β
Yang Meng looked at Lulu with a helpless expression.
McGill, who was on the side, finally finished feeding the baby jaguar at this time, looked at this and laughed, and directly raised his hand to signal that he was going to speak------ raised his hand to speak, which is common all over the world.
Yang Meng walked up to McGill: "McGill, I hope you think about what to say this time, if you talk nonsense again, I will really throw you back into the boat, this time I will definitely do what I say, no matter how much you plead, can you understand what I say?"
McGill nodded desperately, and Yang Meng tore the tape off his face: "You say it." β
McGill rubbed his face, pointed to the sun in the sky, and said, "Mr. Xiao, the sun is about to go down, can we still find them? Did you guess wrong? They didn't come out to search for us at all? Could it be that the people on the boat are not Miguel's accomplices?"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "It's also possible, since you said so, I'll send you back to your ship, this is just a guess, isn't it?"
After hearing this, McGill nodded and said, "Then trouble Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yang." He really didn't want to stay on the same boat with Yang Meng anymore, didn't they all say that the Chinese people respect the old and love the young? Why doesn't he have this virtue?
Yang Meng patted Walter on the shoulder: "Okay, you lead the way, and we will send you back." I just don't want to be with you, I admire you, how can you get along with McGill for so long? I can't stand him for so long. What a troublesome guy. β
Walter smiled wryly, "Professor McGill is not as bad as you think. β
Yang Meng pouted: "Okay Waterl, it's very boring to speak with a clear conscience, I know that this McGill is your professor, it's about whether you can graduate or not, you have something you can't say, next time if you have the opportunity to meet again, we will chat privately." β
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, what do you mean by that? Feelings Walter can't do without saying bad things about McGill?
Walter asked curiously, "But what about the two Spix macaws that haven't come back yet?"
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "They will find us." They're so much smarter than you think. β
As soon as Yang Meng returned to the cabin and was about to start the ship to move forward, there was a sudden sound of birds in the sky, and when he looked up, two blue birds fell, who were the two Spix macaws?
"Now, isn't this coming back?" Yang Meng smiled and took out some golden bell tree fruits from his pocket and prepared to feed them.
After the two Beex macaws ate the fruit of the golden bell tree, they squeaked at Xiao Peng------ and in my heart, the macaw screamed really uglyγγγγγγ
Xiao Peng suddenly frowned: "Mengzi, don't drive the boat." β
When McGill heard this, he quickly asked, "Mr. Xiao, what do you mean? Why don't you start the boat?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the southwest direction and said, "Seven kilometers to the southwest, six figures were found. Five men and one woman. β
McGill was taken aback: "Mr. Xiao, you know bird language, you're not joking, are you?"
Yang Meng clutched his stomach and laughed when he heard this: "This is interesting. β
Xiao Peng frowned and looked at McGill, this time McGill was smart, and directly made a zipper movement on his mouth, signaling that he would not speak.
"Brother Peng, how to deal with it?" Yang Meng asked. Seven kilometers in the rainforest is not seven kilometers on flat land, and the average person used to spend at least a few hours. If you bring a scholar like McGill and the others who are not diligent to go, I'll go and wait until dawn!
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Mengzi, let's go over, Lulu, you are watching the boat here." β
Lulu didn't understand what Xiao Peng meant, Yang Meng pointed to the boat and motioned for her to stay and watch the boat, Lulu's head shook like a rattle. In the end, it was Yang Meng who talked to Lulu, and Lulu nodded and reluctantly stayed on the boat.
This time, Xiao Peng and they didn't even bring two jaguars, they all stayed on the boat, Yang Meng was ready this time, and directly carried a gun, which was the weapon left by Ayu. Didn't those bodyguards carry weapons?
The two got ready and rushed directly into the rainforest, and before McGill could come to their senses, they saw the two disappear into the rainforest.
Watching the two disappear, Walter sighed, "Did Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yang grow up in the rainforest?
McGill shook his head, "How do I know? These selfish savages, don't you know how to respect others?"
Walter looked at McGill and muttered, "Professor, how can we say that they are also our saviors, and we can't say that about them?"
McGill said indignantly, "Why is it bad? You don't look at what they do to us?"
Walter scratched his head: "Professor, they're not bad to me, just treat you like that." I thought about it for a moment, you just said they don't know how to respect you, but did you give them enough respect?"
McGill made Walter stunned for a moment, and changed the subject: "Damn, give me a cup of coffee, while you sit here and drink coffee, I can only feed those little jaguars there, and I can't stand the smell of coffee when I ask." β
"Don't you mind if the coffee doesn't heat up, Professor?" asked Walter.
"I don't mind if it's cold! Hurry up, I can't take it anymore!" McGill said.
Walter nodded, reached for his coffee cup and poured two cups, one for himself and the other for McGill. McGill was about to reach out when a flash of knife flashed and Lulu was staring at him.
She really didn't know what the two were talking about, she didn't understand it at all, but just now they mentioned 'Yang', she knew what the word meant, it was talking about her own god, no matter what you said, it didn't look like you were saying good things, and you still wanted to drink coffee?
The knife flashed, and the paper cup in Walter's hand was directly wiped against Walter's hand and cut it in half! Walter's face was green, and this Nima was about to hurt his hand by a few millimeters, okay? Fortunately, it was not hot coffee, otherwise he would have to burn off a layer of skin.
Lulu pointed to the other cup of coffee in Walter's hand and made a 'drink' gesture, meaning that Walter could drink it, but McGill couldn't.
Walter took a deep breath to control his emotions and drank the rest of the coffee with a 'clatter'. It doesn't work for this Nima to reason with an indigenous woman, and she is still such a violent indigenous woman.
"Professor, you can't blame me for thatγγγγγγ Walter smiled wryly at McGill.
McGill really felt bitter in his heart, this Nima and Xiao Peng are gone, why do they still feel so dangerous?
At this time, Xiao Peng and the others were advancing in the rainforest, but the speed was not as fast as they imagined.
After all, this is the Amazon rainforest.
In the Amazon rainforest, the most dangerous animals are not the big animals that ordinary people can see, but the real danger comes from those small insects.
By the time the two of them reached the location where the Macaw of Sbix had said, it was already dark, and in the distance, a bonfire was burning there.
Finally found it!
The two were just about to lean over to see what was going on, when a gunshot pierced the night sky.
Xiao Peng and the two glanced at each other, and directly opened the distance from the left and the right and slowly touched it.
Those who dare to mingle in the Amazon rainforest are outlaws, and no matter how fearful the two of them are, they have to think about Jeremy and Helena, right?
At this time, you can't startle the snake.
