Chapter 26: Readers, is it good to finish the book with σ 500,000 ( ̄▽ ̄)words?
Beneath the calm surface of the river, groups of small tilapia are foraging for food.
These fish breed at an alarming density in a good habitat, and they could even be an ecological disaster if it weren't for the presence of many other apex predators in the river.
In fact, this point has been fulfilled in many places in China, and it was once rampant.
However, the domestic foodies and anglers are too terrifying, and after finding that this fish is very easy to catch, they will derive n ways to eat at once, steamed, braised and fried, sweet and sour, boiled, casserole......
For a time, most of the tilapia that survived in the southern region was soon served to the table by gluttonous diners, and the phenomenon of swarming in groups became a legend, and only some undiscovered fishing grounds can still be seen in such a grand scene.
And in Africa, the birthplace of tilapia, although there are not as many scary foodies in China, there are several other giant creatures that live here to feed on these extremely fast reproduction fish.
These include the ubiquitous European catfish, the African tiger fish in the Congo River, and the Nile perch that Yang Zi is now chasing.
The thick sediment of the river nourishes aquatic plants several feet high, and a few half-large tilapia swim here, occasionally sucking a small insect on the bottom of the water, or playing and chasing, which seems to be very peaceful.
However, under this calm appearance, there is a hidden murderous intent, and in the depths of the aquatic plants, a huge black shadow has already been staring at this group of Luo Fei for a long time.
It hid in it and did not move, but its tail had already curved into a curve, ready to take aim for an opportunity to explode with all its might.
Until this time, this group of tilapiens was still unaware of their dangerous situation, and they were still wandering around.
Just when the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and the hiding predators were about to be unable to resist attacking, something suddenly fell into the two-meter-high river, which not only disrupted the attack plan of the big fish, but also frightened the group of small tilapia into running in all directions, and disappeared in an instant.
The predator's plan was interrupted, and no one would be happy, not to mention that the predator was already unusually short-tempered.
It looked around with its huge fish's eyes, and when it saw that the previous predators had completely disappeared, it began to look at the falling object viciously, trying to see what had ruined its good deeds.
To its surprise, it was also a small fish that fell into the water and ruined its delicious lunch.
Although the other party has a strange "branch" and a small "vine", it is true that this is indeed a delicious meal that he can eat.
It's a pity to run away from the previous group of prey, but now that a good meal has been sent back, this big fish is still quite satisfied.
Although I have eaten a lot today, who would think that my stomach will not be able to hold up?
It looked at the spot and found that the other party didn't seem to find itself, but was dancing strangely in the same place, without a trace of defense, how could it miss such a good opportunity, its tight fishtail swept quickly, and the whole body was like a sharp arrow off the string, swimming towards the target quickly.
………………
Throwing the bait into the river, Yang Zi thrust the fishing rod into the fort, pinched a piece of fishing line in his left hand to grasp the movement in the water, and drank a beer in a hall with his right hand, still recalling the story that Sima told everyone.
Africa is a magical land where all kinds of new events emerge one after another.
The fight for life between the strong and the weak, the life-and-death struggle between the same kind of spouses on the turf, and the cruelty and fun brought by the ecological chain are staged.
Thinking that the bait had just been thrown into the river, and that the fish would not come so soon to bite the bait, he sat on the ground with a relaxed expression, his eyes looking at the fishing rod, but his mind was completely outside the fugue domain.
"Huh... Woo Woo ......"
Suddenly, the fishing rig, which had just entered the water, was pulled by a huge force and quickly swam towards the center of the river, because the force was too great, and the instantly taut fishing line made a sound similar to the whistling of strings.
“???”
Yang Zi, who didn't react, looked confused, he came to fish so soon?
When he saw that the fort could not stop the castration of the fishing rod, he immediately didn't care about thinking about anything else, so he hurriedly picked up the pole with his hand and pulled it back.
"Da Da Da ......"
At the moment of wrestling between the two sides, the force drain switch of about 30 kilograms on the reel could not jam the fishing line at all, and it was soon released more than ten meters long.
And it's not a small fish, just by virtue of the pull from the tip of the rod, this fish definitely weighs more than 50 catties, and it's only a preliminary estimate!
The fish came too suddenly, which caught Yang Zi off guard for a limited time, and he didn't even do the most critical containment at the beginning, and soon let the other party have to walk dozens of meters of fishing line.
If it weren't for the lack of the twigs and dead wood in the riverbed, this flaw alone would have been enough for the fish to flee to the country of Claw.
Secretly said a fluke, Yang Zi held the pole hard, and by the way, the unloading switch was directly killed, and when he encountered the big fish to die on the line, he moved his steps, and a person and a fish began to do a preliminary confrontation on the shore.
"Wow, Brother Yang, you got caught so quickly today? Look at this posture, it's not small!"
Holding a small pole on the side, Tan Ziqing was struggling for dinner, and he was a little surprised to see Yang Zi go fishing so quickly.
"Hehe! I'm lucky today, I just bite when I throw it down, this fish is conservatively estimated to be fifty or sixty pounds, either catfish or sea bass."
You stand up first, I didn't pay attention to it just now, the fishing line was pulled out a lot, this guy's swimming range will be a little large, be careful not to entangle the line. ”
Suddenly good luck came, Yang Zi smiled very happily.
He swam hard with the fish on the shore, and when he caught the other party's slackness, he shook the line wheel twice, and gradually shook the line back again.
Time passed slowly, and under Yang Zi's steady consumption, although the fish in the water relied on their size and struggled violently in the river a few times, they failed to achieve any effect.
On the contrary, under the best of swimming, his physical strength was consumed rapidly, and he no longer had the courage he had at the beginning.
"Yang Zi, how big is this fish? Why hasn't it appeared after walking for so long, could it really be a sea bass?"
Since there was no need to watch out for beasts here, Wood was a little bored, and was watching with a copy net.
"I feel like I have seventy or eighty pounds, and it's really hard to say, because this fish feels a little strange to me, it has the weight of a big fish, but it doesn't have the strength of a big fish.
As for the variety, I don't see it like sea bass, and I guess the probability of catfish is relatively high.
If it was a sea bass, after walking for so long, it should have been struggling to jump into the water a long time ago, and this fish has not been able to come up to the bottom of the river from the beginning to the present, which is a bit wrong. ”
After analyzing his guesses, Yang Zi also felt strange.
It's not that he's obsessed with the type of fish, but when he walks the fish, the feedback from the other party is a bit unpredictable.
The weight is dead, and it can't be pulled, similar to those hundred-pound giants, but from the perspective of struggle, it is at most comparable to half a hundred big fish.
Such a strange situation made him extremely curious about the identity of this fish.
