Chapter 236: The Journey Back

Catfish have an extremely fierce temperament, belonging to the overlord of freshwater fish, and this giant catfish is naturally even more amazing, with their size and dense teeth in their big mouths, even if they swallow a person, it should be very easy.

At this time, these big fish spread all over the river, swimming against the current, showing unparalleled domineering, in this river area, they are kings.

Some animal carcasses were washed down by the current, Lin Bei saw a swollen wild deer, more than a dozen giant catfish rushed over, several bites, each time can bring up some flesh and blood, the wild deer soon only had a skeleton left, sinking to the bottom of the river, the giant catfish showed their good appetite, meat can be eaten.

When the wild deer finished eating, some giant catfish were obviously not full, so they began to attack each other, Lin Bei saw several giant catfish being bitten by other giant catfish, and then turned their bellies and were carried back by the current, but the giant catfish seemed to attack each other at most, but they did not eat each other's kind, even so, it was quite terrifying.

In this case, Lin Bei didn't dare to run into the giant catfish group, and could only hide in the forest on the bank of the river, although there was also a lot of water in the forest now, but it was not enough for the giant catfish to swim, and the giant catfish would hardly go ashore.

"This guy is too manic, and the Mekong River is also fertile, so he can raise so many big fish."

After nearly an hour, the group of giant catfish gradually became scarce, and the few were still upstream, and Lin Bei thought that they should indeed go to a certain place upstream to spawn.

In fact, some many fish have this habit, the place where they live is one place, and the place where they spawn and mate/mate is another, and some marine fish even have to swim across most of the world to spawn grounds, which is the repetition, these giant catfish come from downstream, and their living place should be near the mouth of the sea that is hundreds of miles deep downstream. As for where to lay eggs, Lin Bei didn't know, and he had no interest in tracking them.

However, Lin Bei then had another idea: "If you can know the spawning place of the giant catfish, then can you get some small catfish back to breed?" According to the size and growth rate of the giant catfish, it should be able to grow to dozens of catties in a year or two, and I don't know if Zhen is interested in buying fish fry. ”

After thinking about it for a long time. Lin Bei is estimated to be enough, the aquaculture industry is almost non-existent in this era, the farmers living along the river are more fishermen, the Central Plains is estimated to be in a period of war in the next tens of hundreds of years, not only farmers, even the candidates are precarious, how can there be time for stable development, the Central Plains and Wanghai City are not the same.

"It's a pity, that's the limit of the times. Otherwise, this delicious food will be brought to people's tables. ”

The last few catfish had also swam by, and Lin Bei was about to return to the mine, but as soon as he moved, he stopped again and looked at the downstream of the river, "It seems that there are still them?" ”

The huge black shadow slowly swam up, and when he saw these big fish, Lin Beileng froze. It turns out that these are also five giant catfish, but these five giant catfish are too big. Each of them had to be more than twelve meters long, and the long whiskers of their mouths were bent back under the impact of the current, and they were also swimming against the current.

"If I go, there can be giant catfish more than twelve meters long in the river, how heavy are each of these guys? Ten tons? Twenty tons? It's even more fierce than killer whales, it's too exaggerated. Lin Bei's eyes were about to burst.

If there is a twelve-long fish in the sea, Lin Bei is not surprised. But now it's a river, and Lin Bei can only sigh in the end that in ancient times, it was really suitable for the growth of creatures, and each of them had no natural enemies at all, and they could live to death.

Subsequently, Lin Bei found that the five catfish seemed to be quite old, which is why the speed was so slow. But their instinct still drives them to rush to the spawning grounds at this time, even if they are too old to swim.

"It's really persistent." Lin Bei can only admire.

These old giant catfish are the real finale, although Lin Bei saw them swim slowly, in fact, it was just a comparison with the group of giant catfish in front, in fact, their speed was about the same as that of a steamship, and when these five old giant catfish were about to disappear from Lin Bei's field of vision like a cruiser, Lin Bei suddenly followed.

The corpses of the catfish kept drifting downstream, and they were all bitten to death by other catfish during the fight for food.

"It's a pity, the catfish meat tastes so beautiful." Seeing each fish that was thousands of catties good, Lin Bei was so distressed that if he wanted to bring one back, he would be able to eat a meal for thousands of people.

The water level is getting higher and higher, and some of the low trees on the bank are all gone, at this time, the sky has been polished, and the rain has stopped, Lin Bei looked at the left and right, except for some giant trees that can be as solid as a rock under the impact of the water, everything else is flooded, here is like an ocean, the flood season of the Mekong River is really terrible.

"How many wild animals have to die this time?" Lin Bei couldn't estimate it.

Swimming through a river section, Lin Bei saw a huge tree on the side of the river section, there was a squeaking sound on it, there was a large group of monkeys hiding from the tree, it was estimated that there were thousands, and the space of the big tree was densely occupied, and the big tree was close to the river, the monkeys put their paws into the water, and Lin Bei saw that many monkeys actually caught a lot of palm-sized fish, and then they were eaten by the monkeys.

Countless birds hover in the sky, then swoop, grab the big fish in the river, and then fly away, for them, the impact of the flood is minimal, the big water is a feast, because many fish will surface and be caught by them.

Lin Bei also saw a lot of pythons, there are reticulated pythons and Burmese pythons, they can also move freely in the water, row a curve, and freely hunt in the river, and the place where these pythons hunt is many places where there is a 'quack' cry, that is the forest frog is celebrating the arrival of the flood, but they are obviously too proud, not only pythons will eat them, but they are also in danger of being seen by birds or monkeys, but they are numerous, and most of them will still survive in the end.

Lin Bei also saw the overlord of the river, that is, the crocodiles that often ambush people and beasts in the shallow river area, and the arrival of the flood drove them from the shallow river area to the banks of the Mekong River, and the number was also very large, Lin Bei had seen almost hundreds of crocodiles, and many giant catfish were reduced to their food, perhaps these crocodiles also regarded this flood as a feast.

A few crocodiles also tried to attack one of the five giant catfish, but finally gave up, the crocodile rarely hit hard when there is no shortage of food, and the body of the giant catfish is still very intimidating.

"From the first sighting of the giant catfish swarm to the present, the number of giant catfish swarms is estimated to have decreased by nearly 1,000 heads. Except for those eaten by crocodiles, most of them are led by cannibalism, and their biggest enemies are probably themselves. ”

Following the giant catfish and didn't know how long he swam, Lin Bei suddenly found some bison carcasses floating in the river, these corpses were bitten to pieces, but the bison was very large. So the flesh was not eaten.

"It looks like a lot of bison died, and I don't know where they died." Every time he saw the corpse of an animal, Lin Bei would sigh, because this is all meat, and it is estimated that there are still many places in the Central Plains where Yizi eats, but here, meat can be seen everywhere, and the gap is so big.

Lin Bei suddenly saw some pillars on the riverside and snorted. After swimming over and exploring, he thought that this should be the original site of the former Fengsi tribe, and now it has been washed away by the river to the point that only a few pillars remain, and even the last few pillars are slowly tilting, enough to support for how long.

It was almost noon, and in the morning the rain stopped, and then the sun came out. But now it's drizzling again, and the weather is very changeable.

The speed of the giant catfish still does not stop. As if they wouldn't feel tired, Lin Beidu had already followed here, so naturally they had to follow.

"The distance between the Haka tribe and the Fengsi camp is about two hundred miles, and if you go up the river, you should be able to reach it at night, and then you may be able to go to the Haka camp for a while, and the courtesies are still exchanged."

For that indigenous spirit witch. Lin Beike still remembers clearly, killed more than 200 Wanghai people, every time he thinks about it, Lin Bei is very sad, so if he sees the Haka tribe. Lin Bei will definitely go to pay tribute.

After the camp of Fengsi, the river suddenly narrowed, because there were steep mountain walls on both sides of the river, and under the pressure of the mountain wall, the river was really unimaginable, and the waves here were dozens of meters high, lapping on the mountain wall, and then echoing, deafening.

Here, Lin Bei saw a lot of giant catfish rushing down from above, in addition to the giant catfish, there were also some bison, in addition, Lin Bei actually saw the corpse of the manta ray.

"Even the manta rays are dead? What the hell is going on up ahead? ”

The five giant catfish did not stop, but Lin Beifa obviously found that they were struggling, even if they swam from the bottom of the river, it was quite difficult, and when they swam halfway, a giant catfish was suddenly hit by the current and deviated from the direction, although it worked hard to adjust the direction, but the body still touched the stone wall, and then it couldn't maintain its balance, and under a few rolls, it was hit by the water and hit the stone wall, and the flesh and blood on the body were blurred, and it broke away from the team of the giant catfish.

"This giant catfish should be dead." The giant catfish slid past Lin Bei's side, the whiskers on the side of the mouth were also broken a few, and the tail was broken, Lin Bei thought of a word: old and frail, the old giant catfish can no longer reach the spawning ground, so they will die halfway, a little sad, but this is the ecological circle, their living habits are destined to the final ending.

The other four giant catfish didn't care about the giant catfish that was washed away, and swam hard through this section of the river, and then the water began to become gentle, and the river channel here was even wider, and Lin Bei could hardly see any trees within a radius of more than ten miles, all of which were rushing river.

When he arrived here, Lin Bei saw the situation that surprised him unusually, and also understood why there was a corpse of a manta ray, because the giant catfish encountered the manta ray here, probably because the giant catfish invaded the territory of the manta ray, so it was attacked by the manta ray.

Although the manta fish has a devil name, it is actually a fairly tame fish, but it is quite terrifying if it is angry, the strength of its wings can easily fan over a ship weighing several tons, the tail spines can pierce the ship's board, and there are venom glands on the tail spines, once they are stabbed, the pain is unbearable.

Giant catfish obviously don't want to fight with manta rays, for giant catfish, as much as possible to get to the spawning ground is their most important thing, so the manta rays have the upper hand in this wide river, but the giant catfish will also fight back after being attacked, they will use their huge bodies to hit the manta rays, and use their big mouths to bite the manta rays like carpets.

There are huge fish on both sides, and the fight with each other makes this section of the river look bloody, and many giant catfish are scarred, but they are driven by instinct, even if they are injured, they have to swim forward.

Lin Bei and the four extra-large giant catfish he followed were also attacked by the manta ray, and the attack on Lin Bei was a manta ray with a width of about nine meters, this guy probably lost his mind, and he didn't care about Lin Bei's huge size, Lin Bei was not polite, and directly slapped it away before the manta ray's tail thorn stabbed.

The attack efficiency of the four giant catfish is much worse, they are old, and they have just come out of the turbulent river, quite tired, finally, the two giant catfish are entangled by the manta ray, passively bear the attack, not far from death, the other two rushed out of the manta ray encirclement, continue to move forward. (To be continued......)
