Chapter 386: The Fish Is Gone?
Sixty hunters from 12 families lined up naked and holding fishing nets in front of the ice.
The crowd of onlookers shouted cheers for their hunters, encouraging them to hunt more silver fish and win glory for the family.
Listening to the shouts around him, Ying Yue also felt a little excited, and he was looking forward to the results later.
"Hunters, pay attention!"
One of the housekeepers said loudly: "You are not allowed to use any tools, you can only hunt silver fish over 15 centimeters, and in the end, you only have 2 hours!" โ
"Did you hear me?"
"Hear me clearly!"
"Let's get started!"
"Brushโ"
At the sound of the order, the hunters, who had already been ready to go, jumped off the ice eye, and then instantly sank into the lake and disappeared.
"Poofโ"
"Poofโ"
After 30 seconds, all 60 hunters were in the water, and the ice was empty, and the crowd on the ice was nervously waiting.
"Lao Liu, hunting in previous years, how many silver fish can each family catch?"
"About two or three hundred pounds!"
"So much?"
"Is it much? Am I too little? โ
Liu Weiguo shook his head with a smile and said, "Although there is a certain chance of awakening when taking Silver Fish, this probability is too low.
If you're lucky, you may awaken by eating a few silver fish, and if you don't have a good life, it's useless to eat as much as you want. Hehe, the silver fish is more like an introduction! โ
"Have you eaten it?"
Wu Wei asked curiously.
"I've definitely eaten it, it tastes really delicious, it's more delicious than other seafood and river fresh I've ever eaten!"
Liu Weiguo seemed to recall the deliciousness of the silver fish, and couldn't help licking his lips, and said: "It's a pity that you can only eat it once every five years, and the quantity is really limited, alas, it's a pity!" โ
"Is it really that delicious?"
Ying Yue couldn't help but underestimate, but his divine thoughts radiated out, penetrating the ice and probing towards the deep lake below.
Since it's so delicious, grab a few and try it.
When the divine thoughts came into contact with the water, they instantly dispersed, pouring out like mercury, enveloping the entire deep water lake.
Well, all 60 hunters swim underwater, and it can be seen that they are all mutants of the water system, and they are no worse than fish at all.
Unfortunately, their nets are still empty, and they have not received any goods.
"Maybe it's because you just came down!"
Ying Yue muttered, and Shen Nian continued to scan, looking for traces of the silver fish, but to his disappointment, after looking for a long time, there was not even a single bird feather.
Not to mention large fish over 15 cm, there are no small fish with chopsticks thick......
What's more, there are no aquatic creatures in the lake except for aquatic plants, and there is not a single fish in sight.
Ying Yue suddenly retracted his thoughts, looked at Liu Weiguo, and said in a low voice, "Old Liu, are you sure there are fish in this lake?" โ
Liu Weiguo said a little strangely: "There must be, if there are no fish, what are we doing here?" โ
"But the truth is, there are no fish down there, not a single fry!"
Ying Yue shook his head slightly and said in a low voice.
"It can't be!"
Liu Weiguo didn't believe it: "There are fish in this lake, I saw it with my own eyes when I hunted last time, it doesn't make sense that there is no one this year!" โ
"We'll see!"
Ying Yue shook his head and didn't say anything more, he knew that others wouldn't believe what he said now, so let the facts speak for themselves.
Seeing Ying Yue's determined look, Liu Weiguo frowned, and a trace of worry rose in his heart, could there really be no fish in the lake?
Await!
Everyone is talking about it while waiting quietly!
From time to time, hunters came out of the lake to breathe, and then sank again, and the sharp-eyed people found that the faces of these hunters were not good-looking.
It seems, the harvest is not satisfactory?
And that's exactly what happened!
Two hours passed quickly, and 60 hunters came ashore one after another, but their fishing nets were empty.
"This ...... What's going on? โ
A housekeeper pointed to the empty net and asked in disbelief, "What about the silver fish, why can't you see one?" โ
"Master, there is not a single fish in the lake!"
The hunter gasped and said helplessly: "There is not a single fish in the lake at all, not even a ghost!" โ
"What kind of bastard is this, how can there not be a single fish?"
When the head of the family heard this, he scolded angrily: "There are fish in the lake every year, but they are gone this year, do you think I will believe it?" โ
"The head of the house, there are really no fish!"
The other hunters also said, "There is not a single fish in sight!" โ
"The head of the family, none of the other families have caught a silver fish, not even one!"
"All left empty-handed?"
"Yes, 60 hunters, all empty-handed!"
"This ...... How so? โ
"Where are all the silver fish?"
"Can anyone tell me where they have gone?"
The result of the hunt shocked and confused everyone, and of course it was unacceptable, in the past, silver fish could be caught, but this year there are no fish, how can there be such a thing?
"Why is this happening?"
"Where's the fish?"
The heads of the three sects and nine families gathered together, looking at the green ice eyes, and their brows were tightly twisted together.
At this time, Liu Weiguo looked at Ying Yue: "Professor, I was really told by you!" โ
Ying Yue smiled and didn't speak, he had already detected it just now, so naturally it couldn't be fake.
"Why do the fish disappear completely?"
Wu Wei frowned and said strangely: "Could it be that in the past five years, someone has secretly come here to hunt and catch the fish?" โ
"Impossible!"
Liu Weiguo shook his head decisively: "The deep water lake is the important place of the martial arts families in our northeast, each family has a special guardian team, and hundreds of monitors are also installed. โ
Wu Wei asked again: "Since the possibility of poaching has been ruled out, where have all the fish gone?" โ
Liu Weiguo smiled bitterly, if only he knew.
"There is another possibility!"
Ying Yue looked at the green lake and said suddenly.
"What is possible?"
Liu Weiguo and Wu Wei's eyes lit up, and they looked at Ying Yue at the same time.
"Other creatures have appeared in the lake and eaten up the fish!"
Ying Yue slowly spit out these words, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
He felt more and more that this speculation was very likely, since the deep-water lake gave birth to a creature like silverfish, indicating that an ecological balance had been reached in the lake.
As long as there is no overfishing and human intervention, the ecosystem in the lake will definitely be able to maintain balance, and it is unlikely that all the fish will disappear.
But now, the fish is gone, but man-made disasters have been ruled out.
It can only be said that it is other factors that lead to the extinction of fish.
Most likely, it was some other alien creature that ate all the fish in the lake.
However, Ying Yue also had a trace of doubt, when he used his divine mind to explore just now, the lake was empty, and no trace of other creatures was found.
Why are the fish in the lake gone?
