"Together?!"

Catherine and Vayne repeated the sentence together, chewing on the words, and Wayne's face was a little strange: "This is the name of the fish? Why is it so...... So weird?"

Catherine didn't feel this way, after all, her knowledge reserve was far from that of Wayne, and in her opinion, there were too many creatures with strange names in the Warcraft Rainforest, and it was not a big deal to have one more. Following the direction of Ling Mo's finger, Catherine walked briskly to the bank of the river and began to carefully observe the few 'plants' floating in the waves.

The creature, known as the 'Cave of the Elderly', is oddly shaped, narrow at the bottom and thick at the top, in the shape of an inverted cylinder, with the tip of the lower part digging deep into the bottom of the riverbed of the Tanatos River, and the upward growth of the cylinder wall is made of a white spongy structure, which from a distance looks eight points similar to the structure of a mosquito net.

The cylinder as a whole was elongated, with an open end at the top, and something loomed in it, and Catherine squinted her eyes for a long time but couldn't see what it was. On the whole, the whole old cave was closer to a plant, and if it hadn't been for Ling Mo's prior warning, Catherine would definitely have ignored this thing as an ordinary aquatic plant on the spot.

At first, Catherine couldn't see any magic in this 'old man's hole', and it wasn't until a few moments later, when a small shrimp floated down the water through the mouth of the 'old man's hole', that she realized how powerful this strange creature was!

I saw that its cylindrical hole suddenly opened, and a strange fish head with no fish scales and epidermis and pale red muscles directly exposed suddenly emerged from the hole, and the big mouth full of sharp teeth bit the small fish that had no time to escape, and then dragged it into the hole of the 'old man'! Suddenly, the acupuncture mouth of the old man and the acupoint closed directly, and the cylindrical body began to shake violently, and soon, about five seconds or so, a faint blood mist erupted from the acupoint, and this shaking stopped, and the acupoint of the old man and the acupoint opened again, waiting for the next prey to come to the door.

"Hiss~~!"

Catherine and Wayne all gasped, the action of predatory with the old man just now seemed simple, but the speed at which the hideous and weird fish head rushed out of the hole** was extremely fast! Conservative estimates, it has reached half the speed of sound! The retraction action stirred up a particularly obvious compressed water wave at the bottom of the water, the ripples of the water wave spread in all directions, the downward water wave touched the sediment at the bottom of the river, smashed out of a depression several meters deep, and the upward ripples jumped out of the water, setting off a monstrous wave up to more than ten meters!

The aftermath of the predation alone is so powerful, and this creature called the old man is terrifying!

"So, what the hell is that weird fish head?" asked Catherine, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

"That's the 'Liyu', the couple's affectionate 'Li' character comes from this kind of fish. Ling Mo slowly explained, "Strictly speaking, the same acupoint is not a single individual, but a combination of two completely different creatures. The cylindrical structure of the mosquito net on the outside is actually an ancient sponge creature that existed 300 million years ago, and the name is 'cave sponge', which can be simply understood as the whole tube is made of sponge body. ”

"And this creature called 'Liyu' will burrow into the cave of 'Cave Mian' at a very young age, which can not only obtain abundant food, but also avoid the attack of natural enemies. It's just that with the gradual growth of the shrimp, the hole will gradually shrink, until one day, the size of the fish exceeds the mouth of the hole, so that the two fish can no longer get out, forever imprisoned together, life at the same time, death in the same hole, naturally it seems 'deep love'. ”

“......”

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Catherine and Wayne were speechless, Ling Mo asked with a faint smile, "This strange creature is known as the most romantic and loyal creature in the world, don't you girls all like romance?

Romantic hairy!

Catherine roared madly in her heart, where does this creature have a little bit to do with romance?at the thought of a man and a woman...... Oh no, it's a male and a female who are forcibly and eternally locked up in the same room, eating, drinking, and Lazar will be together forever, and Catherine feels nothing but a deep chill, how can she experience the slightest romance from it?

She opened her mouth and was about to refute, but she heard Wayne clapping her hands with some excitement and laughing: "Wow! Is it so romantic? Can we be together for the rest of our lives! It's so romantic! I really want to raise one! If only I could tie my future lover to me!"

...... Are you kidding me?

Unexpectedly, Wayne actually reacted like this, Catherine was shocked and a little confused, but seeing the yearning and even some longing on Wayne's face, Catherine was shocked to find that the other party was not joking, she really felt that this creature was very romantic, and she really wanted to be with her future lover forever!

Well, I can only silently wish Wayne her future boyfriend in the bottom of my heart, I wish you happiness. Catherine thought silently in her heart, and she asked again, "Master, didn't you mean this...... Is this 'old man and fellow acupuncture' particularly delicious? Isn't it the most tender fish in the world? It looks so ugly, like a fish that has been peeled whole, and the teeth in its mouth are sharper than those of piranhas, can this thing really be delicious?"

"Of course, this fish is much more delicious than you think, and if it weren't for the endemic creatures of the Tanatos River, it would have been cultivated all over the world. Ling Mo exaggeratedly described: "Do you know? The secret of this fish's deliciousness lies in its strange appearance!"

“...... What do you mean?"

"At the beginning, the 'Liyu' has epidermis and scales, as a male and a female two fish gradually grow up, they will gradually stretch the 'hole cotton', but the hole cotton is composed of pure sponge body, toughness and strength, is not at all Li Yu can break through, in order to survive, Li Yu will gradually give up less important organs, such as skin, gills, etc., let the tentacles of the hole cotton pierce into their muscles, internal organs, absorb nutrients at the same time, help themselves complete metabolic activities. ”

"In the end, the fish only retains the muscles and heart with pure explosive power, as well as a fish head, which will forever be fused with the 'cave cotton' to form a new creature 'with the old and the same hole', and even in order to save space, the reproductive organs of a male and a female fish will be permanently fused together, becoming a hermaphroditic existence, and the insemination from the sperm nest to the ovary will be completed in the body. It is precisely because of the fusion of the organs of these three completely different individuals that this unique taste is formed, and it becomes extremely tender!"

Catherine was silent for a long time before she said softly, "This kind of evolution sounds so cruel. The two fish, one male and one female, must be very uncomfortable, right?"

"Here you go again, when will you not be able to think about things from the perspective of humans? Uncomfortable? You're not a fish, how do you know if people are uncomfortable? Maybe these two fish are still enjoying themselves!" Ling Mo sneered, and said in a mocking tone: "It is said that at this point, the thoughts of the three creatures will also resonate with each other due to the dissolution of their organs. Compared to the shallow love of human beings, the realm is so high that I don't know where it goes!"

"But......" Catherine always felt that something was wrong, but she did not know where to refute it, opened her mouth, and closed it again.

"What's the matter?" Ling Mo didn't speak, but Wayne suddenly became excited: "It's so perfect! This kind of relationship mode is too perfect! This kind of fish is so smart! It is said that people are separated from their stomachs, and you never know what your other half is thinking in your heart, so you can just learn from Liyu, directly remove the 'belly', let the two hearts stick tightly together, and let him really become his 'other half'? Ah, I can't stand it, this creature is really romantic......"

You two bastards who lack common sense have misunderstood something, this sentence is just an artistic description, who made you stick together in a physical sense?!

Seeing Ling Mo and Wayne glance at each other very well, Catherine only felt that there was an old groove stuck in her throat, and she couldn't spit it out if she wanted to, and she deeply felt that she couldn't communicate with these two strong people at all, in order to avoid her three views being poisoned, she laughed dryly twice, and hurriedly forcibly changed the topic:

"Ha, haha, it's really romantic, romantic I want to cry...... Let's not discuss whether this thing is good or not? Let's catch one and taste what it tastes like, right? After all, how should I catch it? This 'old man and fellow cave' is quite strong, and I feel that I am in a state of battle, and I am not sure of victory in the river?"

"Don't!" Wayne replied first, categorically rejecting Catherine's idea, seeing Ling Mo and the two looking over, she opened her hands and blocked between the 'old man and Ling Mo', repeating again: "Don't eat them! Such a loyal little fish should live carefree, eating them will be damned!"

"Are you serious?" Ling Mo was speechless for a moment, and asked with some pain.

"Well, super serious!" In order to strengthen the persuasiveness, Wayne nodded very seriously: "I don't know why, as soon as I saw such a loving little fish, I felt a strong envy, jealousy and hatred in my heart, and somehow the faces of seventeen or eighteen scumbags flashed in my mind, as if I had been abandoned by someone from the beginning to the end......"

When she said this, Wayne's expression was a little dazed, as if some memories came to her heart, she shook her head, drove this strange feeling out of her mind, and said to Ling Mo: "Master, just keep a little more truth for the world, let's not eat it, okay? This is your lovely apprentice's heartfelt request, okay?"

"I don't have any problems, I've eaten this fish anyway, as long as your senior sister agrees. Ling Mo replied indifferently.

Wayne suddenly turned her hopeful gaze to Catherine, and Catherine replied with a more indifferent attitude: "Yes, if you don't eat, you won't eat, anyway, I haven't eaten, and I don't feel any regrets if I don't eat, this fish monster looks weird, and it's uncomfortable to look at, let alone eat." ”

Wayne gave Catherine a big smile, then a little embarrassed, and said, "Senior sister, thank you." Because of my willfulness, you have one less chance to taste the food. ”

Catherine said I don't really want to fight with that sonic fishhead, and I really don't mean much to accommodate you. However, she definitely wouldn't show it on her face, and was about to say a few words to be modest, but she heard Ling Mo say: "It doesn't matter if you can't eat the old man's acupoint, if you walk about five kilometers along the river, you will arrive at an excellent picnic spot." ”

"Oh?" As soon as she heard this, Catherine immediately came to her senses, she first looked at Ling Mo with some vigilance, and said, "Master, it should be some normal food this time, right? ”

"Don't worry, this time it's definitely the species you've all eaten, the most common wild fish - salmon! Some places are also called salmon, you must have eaten them all, right?" Ling Mo was already running first, Catherine immediately followed, when she heard the name salmon, her heart trembled, and tears almost flowed out: think about what she has eaten these days? Blood-eyed toad, unicorn forest sheep, Pepquino, Chimera wings, crushed rock python eggs, beetle cordyceps, flat stone scorpion, turtle monster crab, Spray Weather Duck ......

Ever since I started with Master, how do you feel like you've been eating something strange and unheard of again? How long has it been since the last time you ate a normal meal?

I can't think about this, as long as I think about it, I have a feeling of sadness coming from it, and when I heard that there was a chance to eat salmon, a strong desire immediately emerged in my heart:

Katherine!

Five kilometers away, at the speed of these three people, that is, a minute or two, when Catherine turned a corner of nearly ninety degrees and emerged from the dense bushes on the bank of the river, she was immediately stunned by the scenery in front of her!

At this location, the Tanatos River actually formed a waterfall as high as 50 meters! Ling Mo and the three of them were at the top of the waterfall at this time, and as far as the eye could see, the surrounding scenery was in full view: the water of the Tanatos River crossed a perfect parabola in midair, poured down violently, and smashed on the smooth bluestone platform that was washed out below, with a bang. Splashes of water and mist reflect the sunlight and form a rainbow around the waterfall.

However, Catherine had no intention of admiring the beauty at this time, and her eyes were completely attracted by the creatures at the top of the waterfall!

At the top of the waterfall, there are many huge bears standing side by side! There are black bears, brown bears, dog bears, etc., their paws firmly grasp the stones at the bottom of the river, their eyes are firmly fixed on the water flowing down the waterfall, and from time to time, there will be one or two strong salmon swimming upstream, shaking their tails, fins chopping waves, forcibly rushing up against the current of the waterfall, and the tail flicks away from the waterfall and jumps into the air!

Before the salmon could experience the joy of leaping into the dragon, the huge bears opened their bloody mouths and bit the fat salmon in the air, leaving them unmoved no matter how they struggled. Because of the abundance of food, they also eat it in a wasteful way, just bite off the fattest part of the salmon's belly and swallow it, throw the rest away, and the broken body of the fish will fall down the waterfall, swirl in the pool below and disappear.

Of course, not every bear is very skilled in fishing, and it is not easy for the fish to swim up against the waterfall tens of meters high? As long as those bears fail to make their first move, they will fall into the relatively gentle water above the waterfall, and disappear with a flick of their tails, making the bears cry out for nothing.

After a while, the difference in the hunting level of these bears was revealed, and some of them were almost all hits, holding their stomachs and humming, just like that, they were still unwilling to give way to their hunting positions. Most of the bears hit about fifty percent, and at this time, they were half-full, and they couldn't help but be more engrossed. One of them, a black and white bear with two black circles under its eyes, was the most pitiful, it didn't seem to be very comfortable with this place, and it attacked more than a dozen times in a row and still found nothing.

Recently, when I was about to bite a jumping salmon in my mouth, I was slapped in the nose by the other party's tail, rolling in pain, and accidentally bumped into the big bear hunting next to me, which attracted a punch and kick. Finally waited for the other party to stop when he had enough, this black and white cute bear hugged his head with his paws, panting and lying in the water, with a long nosebleed, looking very aggrieved!
