Chapter 241: Spawning
In recent days, there has been some change in the vicinity of that little waterhole.
For example, at the small mouth leading from the waterhole to the river, there is an extra barrage net to intercept many fish and shrimp that have been caught and put into the small waterhole. And there are obviously a lot more fish and shrimp in the waterhole than before.
Of course, this net has no effect on the giant salamander. Because giant salamanders can climb over from the shore.
There are also some frogs and meat that are thrown on the shore by the waterhole from time to time.
These are naturally one of the things that Zhang Jun said to do to create a high-quality living environment for giant salamanders.
In addition to food, there is also a no-entry zone around the waterhole, and it is forbidden for idle people to approach it at will for a short time. Of course, except for Secretary Liwen, Gao Liang and other staff and cadres.
Li Chen is also among the permitted personnel.
Moreover, his enthusiastic, active, and hard-working participation was also greatly appreciated by Zhang Jun, who praised Li Chen behind his back with Secretary Liwen and Gao Liang, saying that although he was not a village cadre or a staff member of the reserve, he was so careful that he really deserved to be a college student who went out of the village, full of innocence.
After Li Chen found out, he smiled modestly on his face, but in fact, he also sighed secretly in his heart.
There is no other reason, this giant salamander is his, after all, and it is still in the book from the ground, so if the next generation is not bred for a day, Li Chen should not expect to stay out of the matter.
And he is so positive and enthusiastic, in fact, he is also working hard to get out as soon as possible.
Of course, this secret naturally cannot be made accessible to outsiders either!
Not to mention, everyone's efforts really paid off, two days later. When Zhang Jun took Li Chen and Gao Liang to observe the two baby fish again, he suddenly found that the male fish was very abnormal and seemed to be a little anxious. Kept spinning around, and the reaction was weird.
Although the female is not as restless as the male, there is something abnormal, at least it seems, it is far less indifferent than before.
"Isn't it sick?"
Gao Liang's words surprised everyone.
Zhang Jun frowned, and was about to lean over to take a look.
Li Chen was also very strange, but his mind could not communicate with the two giant salamanders. This also made him very strange, after all, he could communicate with his mind with his mind about small beasts and wattle bees, but why couldn't the giant salamander, which was also a spiritual creature?
Although I searched for it myself. But in the end, Li Chen didn't find the reason. However, he had a guess, that is, it might be that the spirit of the giant salamander was much lower than that of the wattle bee and the small beast, or it was according to Li Chen's current level of thought. It is not possible to communicate smoothly with all kinds of spiritual creatures.
But these two speculations. Li Chen can't guarantee that it will be right.
So at this time, although he also sensed the movement of the giant salamander, he also did not know the actual reason.
At this time, Zhang Jun had already arrived near the giant salamander.
The male giant salamander was very agitated at this time, and when he noticed someone approaching, he actually raised his head and let out a roar, while his body tensed. Quite ready to attack.
Gao Liang was very worried and wanted to remind. But he didn't dare to shout rashly, for fear of alarming the giant salamander even more, and he was at a loss for a while.
Dusk realized that Li Chen didn't follow him, and soon came behind Zhang Jun.
A strange scene appeared, after the giant salamander saw Li Chen, he actually lowered his head in fear, and the attack aura of his whole body suddenly withered.
Although it was still a little restless, it was obviously much stronger than just now.
Zhang Jun glanced sideways at Li Chen in surprise.
And Gao Liang in the distance saw this scene and looked at Li Chen's eyes, which also became complicated.
Li Chen naturally knew about their emotional changes, and he also knew that they might be suspicious, but at this time, he couldn't care so much, after all, if this giant salamander really injured Zhang Jun, it would be even worse.
But Li Chen frowned at the same time.
Because he could see that although the giant salamander had been suppressed for the time being, its restlessness had not been eliminated, as if something very anxious had made it restless.
But what is the matter?
Li Chen was also quite puzzled.
At this time, Zhang Jun suddenly said, "Huh? You see! ”
"What?"
Seeing Zhang Jun pointing to a certain place in the giant salamander's body, he was very puzzled.
"Those... Is it an egg? ”
Zhang Jun's words made Li Chen stunned for a moment, and then he took a closer look, and his heart suddenly moved. Because on the back of the giant salamander's tail, there are some eggs, light yellow, the size of soybeans, and a very sticky layer of gelatinous material on the outside, but there are not many of them, only a few dozen, and they are tightly glued there.
"It's really an egg, is it an egg? Can... When was it born? ”
Li Chen asked subconsciously.
"According to habits, it should have been last night."
Zhang Jun continued. "But... Why so little? ”
Zhang Jun's words reminded Li Chen, and he hurriedly used his mind to communicate with the book and checked the waterhole. I was surprised to find that there were indeed some identical eggs in the pool, and the number was about one or two hundred.
"Damn, I did lay eggs."
Li Chen suddenly understood that he might have separated the giant salamander from its eggs without paying attention. After all, when the book from the ground appears, the waterhole part cannot be seen, like the phantom of the pear tree, the jujube tree, and the walnut tree.
Thinking of this, he was slightly apologetic.
With a rush of thought, although he could not communicate with the giant salamander as smoothly as a small beast, this simple control could still be done, and he motioned for the giant salamander to jump into the waterhole next to it, that is, to take the opportunity to return to the waterhole on the ground.
Although the giant salamander was very restless, it still did not dare to disobey Li Chen's order, so he jumped into the waterhole and soon disappeared.
When Zhang Jun saw this scene, he felt pity.
After a while, he turned his head to Li Chen and Gao Liang, who had just come over, and said, "In this way, I will observe here for a while longer, and strive to find the root of the problem as soon as possible, so you can go back first." ”
"No, I have to stay here."
Gao Liang's face is full of melancholy, how can she have the heart to go back?
Li Chen had already communicated with the book of the earth at this time, and after finding that the giant salamander returned to the pool of the book and found those eggs, he was very excited, and the restlessness just now disappeared in an instant, and the eggs curled up in a ball and sank to the bottom of the pool.
And the female fish is back to leisure, swimming around, and it's fine.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Li Chen also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But he couldn't say it, so he began to think about when to let the giant salamander come out again, or this Zhang Jun and Gao Liang must have a heart hanging in their stomachs.
Just as the three of them were standing silently, a shout suddenly came from a distance.
"Tatsuko, Tatsuko!"
Li Chen looked back and saw that his mother was standing on the other side and shouting to himself, as if something was wrong?
and Zhang Jun nodded beautifully, Li Chen turned around and walked over with the water.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"Someone was looking for you, and they called your phone, but you didn't answer."
Wei Shulan said.
Li Chen then remembered that he didn't bring his mobile phone before he came out.
"Who's looking for me?"
"Guess what!"
A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on my mother's face.
glanced at my mother, "It's Xinyi?!" ”
"Hmph, I know that I am worried about your wife!"
Mom pretended to be dissatisfied and pouted. (To be continued......)
