Chapter 2: Dead Jiao and Qizhu
The bluestone on Chen Feng's neck suddenly exuded a warm aura, Chen Feng touched it with his hand, and he couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only attribute it to the scorching sun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis bluestone has been worn by Chen Feng since he can remember, and Chen Feng's grandfather said that this is a jade pendant that possesses the body, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits. In the desert island fishing village, although the fishermen live a hard life, almost every child has some jade, bracelets, copper locks and other things on their bodies, which have been passed down from generation to generation, so Chen Feng's bluestone has not attracted anyone's attention.
Chen Feng's water quality is very good, and he often dives to the bottom of the sea on weekdays, but he has never seen this situation. Chen Feng has just turned fifteen years old this year, and he is still a teenager with a young heart, and he is full of curiosity about all strange things. Seeing this scene, he immediately took off his shirt without thinking, and a fierce man pierced in.
After Chen Feng entered the water, the school of yellow croakers was startled, and the formation was slightly chaotic, but it did not completely disperse. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he caught the tail of a yellow croaker, and as soon as the yellow croaker struggled, it slipped away.
Chen Feng smiled slightly, and slowly dived, the deeper he went, the greater the thrust of the undercurrent on Chen Feng, and the water pressure became stronger and stronger. Fortunately, Chen Feng is a child who grew up by the sea, and he is accustomed to this, but he is not afraid. The milky white light under the water in front of us seemed to be close at hand, but it was very far away. He took a closer look, only to find that the water under the reef was far deeper than anywhere else.
Chen Feng couldn't help but wonder: The reef is exposed to the sea, which often means that the nearby sea water is shallow, how can there be such a big drop? After all, such deep pits can easily be filled with sediment. The depression in front of you is most likely recent and has just formed. Thinking of this, Chen Feng's desire to find out was even stronger.
After a little thought, Chen Feng surfaced, took another deep breath, and dived with all his might. This time, he's going to dive to the deepest part of the water. When the light was approaching, Chen Feng's chest was already stuffy because the diving was too deep, and the water at the bottom of the river was very cold, and he felt that his legs might cramp at any time.
For people like Chen Feng, who are proficient in water, leg cramps are rare. If it does appear, it will be able to drill out of the water with the help of the buoyancy of the water. But if this is the case, there will be no physical strength to dive down in a short period of time to find out.
Just when Chen Feng was powerless and was about to give up, there was another warmth in his neck, and the coolness in his whole body suddenly subsided, replaced by a thick warmth all over his body, and his limbs seemed to be full of strength.
The air inhaled before the dive is about to run out, but the abdominal cavity is full of life, and it depends on the situation that it can support it for a while.
Chen Feng was overjoyed, although he didn't know what the reason was, he didn't think too much about it, so he dived again.
Finally, a large black object appeared in front of Chen Feng's eyes, and at one end of the object, a milky white light flashed. Schools of fish swam around the light cluster, and to his surprise, there were schools of sharks nearby. It's just that the shark's usually ferocious eyes reveal a mixture of fear and greed, neither daring to swim closer, but reluctant to leave, just hiding in the distant periphery, constantly cruising.
If he usually saw a shark, Chen Feng would have turned around and retreated in fear, and it was also a question of whether he could go. But this time, Chen Feng's heart was like water, as if something in the dark attracted him, making him unbearable to leave.
When Chen Feng was a few feet away from the bottom of the water, Chen Feng finally saw everything in front of him. The reef around him is located at the bottom of a small valley in the middle of the river, and there is a behemoth around the reef. Chen Feng couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at its shape and color—could it be a black Jiao?!
Chen Feng had never seen a black Jiao before, but he often heard people talk about it. The black Jiao is the most vicious existence of the sea in the legend, almost all the animals in the sea are its food, no wonder those sharks dare not come forward, just such a behemoth, so that all aquatic animals are afraid. However, the black Jiao did not move in the slightest, and I don't know if it was asleep or dead.
Chen Feng watched nearby for a long time before he was convinced that this black Jiao was dead. Because Chen Feng found that the black Jiao's tail was missing half of it, not a single claw was gone, and its head was even more severely damaged, as if it had been scorched by lightning, revealing a pale bone the size of a basin. The reason for the depression in this seabed is probably caused by the collision or struggle of the black Jiao before he died.
What is it that caused the legendary Black Jiao to die after being so damaged? Chen Feng didn't know why, he suddenly thought of the strange person he saw just now, and couldn't help but feel a sense of panic.
Chen Feng swam cautiously closer, and finally dived to the bottom. Since it is a small valley bottom, the water flow is relatively calm. He cautiously walked in, looking up at the Jiaotou, which was taller than himself. Just under the jaw of the black Jiao, there was a milky white light.
The fish swirled around the light, and it was very pleasant.
Although the light is abundant, it is not dazzling, and it is very soft. As soon as he got closer, Chen Feng felt that his bluestone had become warm again. I haven't been breathing for a long time, but I don't feel suffocated.
Although the black Jiao is dead, it still maintains the majesty of the race, which is why the sharks around it dare not approach at all. Chen Feng followed the light, poked his head through the wound on Heijiao's chin, and reached out to touch a bead.
This is a bead the size of a dragon's eye, milky white throughout, with a vague crescent-like pattern on it, but it is relatively blurry. Putting the beads in the palm of his hand, Chen Feng felt that his bluestone had been kept warm, and the beads in his hands also continued to convey a melting warmth, blending with the warmth emitted by the bluestone.
Chen Feng rubbed the beads in his hand for a long time, and was very pleased, so he wanted to go to the water.
As soon as Chen Feng was about to leave, he felt a strong chill and a foul smell coming from Hei Jiao's corpse.
Corpse gas? Chen Feng was stunned. Chen Feng once heard the old people in the village say that corpses will produce corpse gas, and the more decomposed, the more corpse qi will be. However, the black Jiao in front of him was obviously just dead, but it was a bit weird that he could emit such a strong corpse qi.
What's even more weird is that this corpse qi quickly disappeared when it pounced in front of Chen Feng.
Chen Feng shook his head, he couldn't explain, so he had to give up and turn around.
The swimming fish around also followed behind Chen Feng, but those sharks were still swimming around the black Jiao's corpse, not daring to step forward for a long time, as if they were waiting or testing something.
Chen Feng estimated that these sharks wanted to eat the meat of the black jiao, but they didn't dare to step forward for a while.
After obtaining the beads, Chen Feng hid them around his waist. Taking advantage of the fact that the fish were swimming around on the water and did not leave, Chen Feng cast two more nets and actually harvested dozens of yellow croaker. These yellow croakers are all very active, different from usual.
However, Chen Feng was not insatiable, and put away the net early.
Since he was a child, Chen Feng has heard his grandfather tell many stories about fishermen's greed and trouble, and he himself has learned the truth of what is enough. It's just early summer, and it's not until after autumn that the fish really get fat, and that's the best time to catch fish.
