Chapter Twenty-Four: The Nine-Toothed Scaly Fish
When my dad said the nine-toothed scalyfish, I suddenly remembered what my teacher taught us in high school biology class, that is, fish, and that if someone invades their territory, they will be extremely aggressive and their mouths will open very wide.

And when I found out that the scaly had no eyes, I couldn't help but rise to a new level of awe for the natural world, which can really breed countless amazing species.
Although my father said that he and my grandfather had met this kind of fish when they were pouring into the sea, and knew that it was called a scaly fish, because it had nine teeth, so my father called him a nine-toothed scaly fish, but he had no official understanding of this scaly fish, and he couldn't explain it when Tianming asked him, so he could only rely on me to popularize natural knowledge for them.
I can understand why the nine-toothed scaly fish didn't keep attacking us, it turns out that these scaly fish are blind, but this underground river is dark all year round, and they can't see the light, so most of the creatures living in this underground river are blind, which also follows the truth of the survival of the fittest in nature.
Originally, the underground river is a dark river, except for some microorganisms in the general underground river, it is difficult to have any large animals, after all, water is the source of life, no matter what the environment, as long as there is water, there will be some known or unknown creatures living in it.
It's just that we don't know why this nine-toothed scaly fish can survive here for so long, we don't know, and this head is too big, the average scaly fish will not exceed thirty centimeters, and the scaly fish in this water is completely as long as a snake, I really don't know what it eats to grow up.
Seeing the appearance of the nine-toothed scalyfish, it really looks like a piranha, the scaly fish is a carnivorous fish, usually only seen in tropical to cold seas, it belongs to marine animals, and it is really a miracle to have scaly fish in the dark river.
At present, the nine-toothed scaly fish in front of us is very similar to the ordinary scaly fish, the dorsal fin is long and spiny, the snout protrudes outward, and there are many spike-like tentacles on the head and snout, and this nine-toothed scaly fish is a relatively special species, the first three spines of the dorsal fin are longer than the other spines, forming a very special part, but the dorsal fin is connected with other parts, and it is slender like an eel, the most important feature is that they are blind, but it does not affect their swimming speed at all.
After spreading the knowledge to them, I couldn't help but sigh: "I've never heard of a scaly bird with nine teeth!" ā
My father and they were all stunned after listening to me talk about the knowledge of scales, and my father became stinky and beautiful after listening to it: "It seems that my son has a lot of knowledge in his head, haha, I have a long face for your father, not bad." ā
I thought to myself that my father and my second uncle are really brothers, both of them have similar tempers, either like stinky beauty or like to brag, and occasionally tease, which point has the appearance of elders, in addition to encountering important things seriously, how can you usually see that they are this kind of virtue.
I just looked at my dad and didn't pay attention to him, according to my temper: no matter how much ability I have, or what I know, I keep it in my heart, I will say it when I know, and I will be quiet if I don't know, and even sometimes I never let others know about it, even my father will be hidden from me.
So sometimes when he says something that my dad doesn't know, he will be very surprised, and always think that I have something to hide from him, but he will never ask me, I haven't even communicated much with him so far, you do yours, I do mine, I almost wonder if I am his own child.
This reminds me of an incident in high school, once he said that there was a defect in the antique store and that he was going to Tibet, but I knew that he was actually going to Doudou, but I didn't say it, and then he came back and said that he would pick me up from my school.
At that time, I was very happy, after all, my father never picked me up a few times since I was a child, and my mother used to pick me up when my mother was still there, and then I grew up, and I always went to school by myself, until I went to junior high school far away from home, and my father would drive to pick me up from time to time.
Then when he came back from Tibet, he said that he would pick me up by car, and I waited at the school gate for most of the day, and when it was almost dark, I didn't see him coming, so I borrowed the phone and called him.
The call reads like this:
Me: "Daddy, where are you?" Didn't you say to pick me up? ā
My father: "I'm at the gate of your school, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ā
"What? Why didn't I see you?"
"Here's the guardhouse."
"I'm here in the guard room, why didn't I see you! Dad, will you go to the wrong school, I'm here in No. 1 Middle School. ā
"One in one? Aren't you in junior high school? ā
"I....... Father. I'm already a freshman in high school. ā
Later, my dad slowly drove to my high school to pick me up, so my dad basically spent most of his life either taking care of his antique business, or following my grandfather and my second uncle everywhere to do business, never thinking about whether I would study well.
Later, I didn't bother to tell others about this matter, which was embarrassing, but when my father didn't give me money to use, I used this matter to talk about him, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that I wanted money, so he would ask: "Don't say it!" How much will it take this time? "I'll just stretch my hand.
I don't know how many fights my father has poured in his life, I only know that he and my grandfather have traveled most of China, as for my master, basically in the motherland, there is no place where he has not fallen.
Now it's okay, I myself have embarked on the road of no return, and I am not worried that my father and I will lack communication in the future, and I and Tianming Abu and they can be regarded as the same way, Tianming and Abu have not studied for a few years before going to the army.
I heard Abu say that Tianming would read books from time to time when he arrived in the army, and Abu trained every day, because I heard Tianming say that Abu used to be a fat man, and he lost weight when he arrived in the army, no wonder I said that he had so much tendon meat in his life.
Later, after he was discharged from the army, he couldn't find a serious job, until he met my second uncle, he began to learn to fight, and my second uncle was also a scourge of two aspiring young people, but these things were also told to me by my father later.
Thinking of this, I stopped thinking about other nonsense, and when I listened to my father, I turned my attention to the water, and I swept the light in the water for a while, only to see those nine-toothed scaly fish, which first stayed under the tower for a while, and only after knowing that there was nothing wrong with us, they swam to their place, and only a nine-toothed scaly fish was left dead on the ground, and the huge mouth was opened, and the death was extremely terrifying.
Just when we were still wondering where the nine-toothed scaly fish were going to swim next, there was a bubbling sound on the right side of the tower, and we heard the sound and followed, only to see the nine-toothed scaly fish constantly gushing out of the black hole we saw earlier.
We finally understood where these nine-toothed scaly fishes came from, it turned out to be this black hole, but the next scene quickly stunned us, the group of nine-toothed scaly fishes that attacked us before also swam in front of this black hole, and the two groups of nine-toothed scaly fish actually began to attack each other.
We couldn't figure out what was going on, but one of the larger scaly ones bit the other, a smaller nine-toothed scaly, and soon the former tore the latter to pieces and ate it.
"I didn't expect these nine-toothed scaly fish to kill each other, and they actually ate their kind as lunch." Tianming also sighed.
"It seems that these nine-toothed scaly fishes are blind and unreasonable, and they even eat their own fish when they are fierce, which may also be their way of breeding, after all, there is really no other food in this dark river." My father replied with a sigh, "And they may have attacked us because they smelled fresh food and treated us as prey." ā
Hearing my dad say that, I almost thought so, besides, there are so many bones in this tower, maybe some of the flesh on these bones will fall into the water and become part of their food, and I don't know how deep the black hole is, and I can't tell if there are other creatures in it.
Anyway, we can't get into the water now, so we have to think of other ways to cross the water and climb to the opposite cliff.
We don't waste much time looking at the nine-toothed scalyfish, we don't know much about the inside of this tower, we are only on the first level of it, and there is nothing else in this tower except for the bones all over the place.
We saw that there was a stone staircase in the middle of the tower, and we no longer stopped at the first floor, but went up to the second floor along the stone staircase.
Just as we reached the second floor, a huge bronze tripod appeared in front of us.
