Dingxi, who had never seen these fish before, squeezed into the position where the water flowed down, and his back loved his back, barely moving, just floating with the current. The top point says,

For the light, there is no induction.

The head, like a catfish, is huge.

Open your mouth to absorb water, and your gills breathe and spit out, very slowly, but it is the same way as the fish.

Liu Yucheng looked up along the current, saw the water flowing through the roots of the tree, and retracted his gaze and said: "These creatures are not like carnivores, there is no source of food here, they gather here, they should be particles brought down by the edible water stream, microorganisms, this water flow should be close to the surface, or simply the end of a stream on the ground." ”

Xue Lang also saw that these things were very slow to respond to light, sound, and sound. And gathered in this location, there seems to be nothing to explain except to eat.

There must be no food sources here, so these are not necessarily ferocious underwater creatures.

Thinking about it, Liu Yucheng slowly walked to the water's edge, slowly squatted down, wearing a gloved jumpsuit, not worried that the other party's teeth would hurt him, just to prevent any self-defense means of spraying liquid and ruining the clothes again.

The stuff in the water seemed lazy, or docile.

Liu Yucheng's hand reached under the stomach of a target more than half a meter, slowly raised the surface of the water, and didn't react to anything, still swallowing the water by himself.

As he approached the water, Xue Lang understood that this thing had no eyes and a head, and it really looked like a catfish. In his mouth, there are no teeth, but there are secret whiskers and other things.

Looking black in the water, close to the surface of the water, the color is much lighter, and there are transparent feet.

Through the illumination of the light, I can see that there are internal organs in the body, but it is very, very thin, but very clear, slightly red.

When I turned it over, I found that it was indeed a fish.

Because it has a pair of pectoral fins that grow together, it has caudal fins, it has gills, but it doesn't have nostrils and eyes.

The strange fish didn't seem to want to fall back, and reluctantly twisted, presumably it could still breathe or something, so it twisted, and there was no response.

Liu Chengcheng carefully observed it, slowly held it with two hands, and left the water.

The moment the fish left the water, it seemed very reluctant, but it did not struggle too much, but still writhed symbolically, and its head and tail drooped, and it did not even open its mouth.

The three of them got closer, studied it carefully, and came to the preliminary conclusion that this was a fish, and the four had no ability to attack, and even their teeth had degenerated, turning into a fish with fine fluff.

It is estimated that there are no natural predators here, so they have no means or weapons for self-defense.

The whole body is soft, as if there is no backbone.

However, under the light, it is impossible to see the bones in its body, it seems, there really is none.

Liu Yucheng carefully inspected it up and down, and then took out the dragon's teeth, popped out a tooth, and gently cut the flesh.

The fish seemed to feel the pain and writhed, but it was still not violent.

The wound, the liquid that will flow down slowly, is not blood, or, not the bright red blood in common sense, it is very light, as light as water.

Xue Lang was very curious, in his cognition, the color of animals' blood is basically inseparable from red, and very few will be green, or greenish.

This is the first time he has seen this kind of almost transparent, muddy water-like body fluid.

Liu Yucheng carefully observed the blade of the dragon's tooth, and was very focused when Zuo Boyang and Xue Lang were studying.

The fish struggled with little force, writhed again, and never moved again.

Liu Yucheng studied for three or four minutes, and cut the skin of the fish again, and the wound was not deep, revealing the white jade tissue inside.

The fish writhed a few more times, and returned to its previous state, letting the fluid flowing out of its body compete without struggling.

And those who were huddled together in the water didn't react at all, they were still sucking up water and agitating the gills.

Xue Lang touched the wound with his hand, and Min Run captured the subtle changes in the twitching of the muscle tissue, which was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

I know it hurts......

In a flash of thought, Xue Lang suddenly remembered the dodo that only exists on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, a bird that can grow to more than 20 kilograms, but cannot fly, a bird that has no natural predators, does not know how to be afraid when it sees people, has no ability to protect itself, and finally goes extinct.

Here, there are no natural predators, and these fish who don't know where they come from probably don't even have the ability to protect themselves and save themselves.

Thinking about it, Liu Yucheng raised his head and said: "This is a herbivorous fish that eats microorganisms and fine particles in the water, it is not poisonous at present, it can be eaten, and it is estimated that it is a special fish found for the first time in the world, and its nutritional value is unknown." ”

Zuo Boyang stretched out his hand to take the motionless, but still alive fish, and said: "This environment is very similar to the environment of domestic baby fish, look at the meat quality, delicate, the taste should be good, it is estimated that the most basic has the effect of cod liver oil, low temperature here, ten degrees all year round, whether it is the first time to find it, we must not miss the oral administration, do not destroy it." ”

Xue Lang is not a rigid person, and said with a smile: "Just one meal, estimate the amount of food, just catch a few, don't eat extinction." ”

"Haha!"

Liu Yucheng said with a smile: "That's not it, there are more than 100 in front of me, the big one is more than one meter long, it is estimated that three is enough for ten people to eat, and when I come back, take one with me, go back to study and study, and see if there is any possibility and value of cultivation." ”

"That's right!"

Xue Lang slapped his face and said: "There is water in the depths of Wolong Cave, wait until you go back and take a look, if it is a rare good thing, get it back to breed and stocking, wouldn't it be a blessing?" ”

Zuo Boyang was not polite, holding this fish called a fish in one hand, and picking up a fish of more than one meter and more than a dozen catties in the water with lightning in the other, and said: "The surface of the water here is so big, and there are many caves connected to see it, they are all water, there should be more than 100 here." ”

Xue Lang can actually see it, here, under the water of Shenyi, there are still a lot of them sticking to the bottom, and the size is bigger than what you see now.

There are no natural predators here, they have grown for decades and it is unknown, it is estimated that in addition to old age and death, as long as the life expectancy allows, it will always be long, and the number is probably really a lot.

After Liu Luocheng picked up one in Zuo Boyang, he was not polite, put away the dragon's teeth, one in each hand, just like fishing wood from the water, just like the cork, those fish basically did not struggle.

Xue Lang has absolutely no doubts about Liu Chengcheng's affirmation, the fish in the living water does not eat carrion or anything, and they can basically be eaten.

Something like a puffer fish is still relatively rare.

So, too, one by one.

By the time the three of them waded back through the water, Durry had climbed up with a ghost through the rocks, and had brought down a large number of dry roots.

The moment they arrived, the fire was ready.

It's a fresh barbecue feast that I don't know if it's breakfast or lunch.

The fish is very delicious, the meat is tender and smooth, there is no strange taste, and there is a very strong fish fragrance, the most amazing thing is that the bones are crispy bones, it is estimated that if it is not for the support of the body, even the skeleton will be completely degraded.

The internal organs are even less pitiful, and the big fish of more than ten catties does not even have half a catty of internal organs.

But no one moved his head, and the whole thing was cut off, worried that there would be any secretory glands in it that would be harmful to the human body, after all, Liu Yucheng is not a laboratory device.

This meal has been eaten for more than a year, Jasmine does not consider her weight at all, she eats a lot, it is estimated that in this life, the meat eaten this time is absolutely exaggerated, I am afraid that it is more than two catties and three catties of raw meat.

Eating and drinking, those meat that they didn't eat, but roasted, they didn't waste anything, they took it all with them, but they wrapped it quite tightly, so as to avoid the smell of the enemy, and become a trouble to reveal their whereabouts when encountering the enemy.

The team set off again, straight through the water-filled caves, and everyone realized why there was no outside world.

There is only one slope in this area, with a straight line height of at least ten meters, and it is estimated that the water that flows down is absorbed by the rocks and then penetrates into the bottom, which is a waterhole that is not connected to the outside world.

The team was quiet again, with Xue Lang at the head and Du Rui at the end.

Drilling through the location of a stalactite, the terrain begins to complicate.

Here, there are no tall caves or passages along the way, most of them are barely drilled, and they are high and low, according to Jasmine, they are at least fifty meters above the ground.

This is a considerable depth, and at the very least, they don't have to worry about enemy detection being able to detect them.

After shuttling here for more than five hours, it is estimated that when he was at most two kilometers away from the base, Xue Lang suddenly saw a reflection in front of him.

Someone!

Xue Lang quickly turned off his head and waited, and the others moved equally quickly, quickly squatting to Dongbi's heel, ready for battle.

Xue Lang breathed slowly, and his perception locked on the place that was more than a hundred meters away.

But there was no one there.

Meticulously searched the surroundings, and in the darkness, his eyes were empty.

The reflection just now was nothing else, it was actually the reflection of the tin foil packaging bag in the food packaging.

There are really people here......

Xue Lang looked at the packaging bag that was obviously discarded after eating, and looked at the traces of dust on it, his eyes were empty.

This is a bag that has not been discarded for a long time. Here, there are enemy patrols.

After making sure that there was no one around, Xue Langsheng explained the situation.

In the underground without a trace of light, except for infrared equipment, low-light night vision devices are not easy to use.

Liu Yucheng was surprised by the appearance of patrol traces here.

This place has nothing to do with the base, so why do you want to patrol here? Are there any fears that someone will infiltrate from the ground?

After a brief discussion, it is difficult to determine what the purpose of the human tracks found here is, whether it is a good investigation or inspection.

It was no longer quiet underground, everyone cheered up, quickly ate the fish they carried, washed off the smell of their hands on the moisture on the ground, put away the bags, and entered a nervous state of diving.

Xue Lang took everyone to clean up, touched it heartily, and confirmed that the bag had just been discarded for a few days, and everyone's pace was even lighter.
