The silver-scaled bream swims against the current, and the fisherman stands quietly on the shore.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Swim and swim in the blue water.

A large school of fish with a beautiful silver sheen on their scales formed a black school of fish, swimming upstream in the rushing water, and the vigorous breath of spring on the Arashi seemed to infect every member of this migratory group, making them desperately return to their breeding grounds from a distant place.

The bream, which is a large and widely distributed freshwater fish, is most commendable because it is still firmly maintained in its normal form when the whole life of Lanxing has begun to become more and more strange...... There are no unique means of attack, no body structure to keep predators away, and for quite a long time, the only change that evolution has brought to them is the ever-increasing ability to reproduce, and they rely solely on their numbers to fight against the endless stream of predators.

Although the collective survival ability has become very strong, I have to admit that the individual life of the zedar is very aggrieved, the sky, the water, the ground, and the whole world are enemies that cannot be defeated at all, and the only prestige in their lives can only bully those small fish and shrimp that are only a few centimeters in size.

However, today may be a lucky day for the bream, which have not encountered any ferocious predators during their long day's migration, a kind of luck that is simply unimaginable for them, so these hormone-driven creatures desperately sail up the river to their breeding grounds.

There are no dangerous enemies, no bad weather, and even if the current is still so fast, it is a good day for the thrashander, which has a hard life all year round, and they must hurry up this time.

Suddenly, the whole school of fish seemed to tremble, and an indescribable smell of chemical molecules spread in the current, which was spotted by the keen sense of smell of the pike bream, and they invariably turned their bodies to change the direction of swimming, and this smell ......

It's the taste of food! And it smells like it's very, very good food!

The migration does not mean that there is no food, in fact, because of the huge physical exertion of swimming against the water for long distances, the bream needs more food than usual during the migration, so after only a slight pause, the whole school of fish seems to explode into a pan and instantly disarray, and each zeander begins to swim desperately in the direction of the strongest smell of food, while trying to squeeze the other members of the same kind next to it behind...... Food is limited, and whoever gets it first will always be the one who gets it!

Driven by hunger, the leading part of the bream almost quickly swam to the source where the smell of food came from, and they pounced on the little things moving in the river without thinking! Although it is a little weird, but the smell of food can't fool the fish, such a small fish, it's not enough to swallow it in one bite!

Soon, the second batch of zander also rushed to the scene, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw the little things swimming back and forth in the current...... The first zeanders didn't eat all these small fish? Or is it that there were a lot of small fish in the original, and the first zealanders left here after eating it, leaving only this little bit of food left?

Although they still feel a little unaware, their small brains obviously do not support them to think about overly complex problems, and they quickly come to a simple and crisp conclusion: no matter what the hell is going on, the food is in front of them, and they don't eat it for nothing!

The moment they bit down on those little things, the bream only felt that the world was spinning, and countless noisy sounds and broken images flashed in their minds, and with a bang, they didn't know anything......

Soon, the third and fourth batches of zander followed the trail of food......

……

At the edge of the U-shaped bay, where the woodland had finally been said goodbye to completely, Shiojie cautiously approached the river, while Xinglan in the form of a signal sub unscrupulously extended his perspective, scanning every leaf on the leaf trees here, observing the creatures here.

"I think it's kind of funny." Looking at the group of strange animals standing with their backs to the river one by one, all motionless like sculptures, only the slender tails that seemed almost invisible in the distance were spinning back and forth in the air, Xinglan smiled and teased Xijie, "Why don't you learn from them too?" Maybe it's unexpectedly suitable~"

"Sister, don't be kidding......" Shioyu crept closer to the river and complained quietly, "Do you think I can do that?" I don't have that ...... Special tail. ”

Yes, the most striking thing about these animals is their tails, which are not long or short fluffy balls like ordinary animals, but ...... Like bamboo, the bone structure of each section is abnormally obvious, and at the same time, there is a folded line shape with a certain angle of inclination between each other.

A very slender and long shape, but with a distinctly contoured joint, a strange tail that is driven by strong muscles and can move with force.

Living in harmony with the Sunburst Beasts, they actively maintained the right distance between their kind, and they lined up along the river, their tails, which were clearly using their muscles to exert their strength, were partly raised in the air, and some were submerged downwards into the flowing river.

Maybe at first the tide knot didn't know what they were doing, but soon, when a large school of dense fish passed by the river, it seemed to be lured by something. When they swam to their tails and then bit down on the barbs, the answer was obvious: these strange creatures with motionless bodies and only tails swaying back and forth...... They're fishing.

"Interesting, interesting, how about calling it a fishing beast? They can actually fish...... "Xinglan's crisp voice with a grin sounded directly in Xijie's ears, as if she was wearing a pair of headphones, faint but very clear, "Look at those silly fish, they don't know it's a trap yet!" This is really a wish to take the bait! ”

The beast seems to have released some special chemical pheromone using some kind of gland on its tail, and even when there is no bait, the group of fish will actively pounce on it and bite the tip of their tail that is deliberately dangling back and forth near the surface of the water...... It does look like a small fish swimming back and forth from underwater, a nice lure.

However, it is only when the fish really bite hard that the fish will know that this is not food at all, but by this time it is too late, and the dense barbs at the end of the tail will firmly hook the lips of the fish, so that they will not be able to escape this deadly trap, and at this time, the fishing beast will react quickly, controlling the muscles on the tail to contract violently......

Whoa......

The tail was flung high, and the hooked fish was pulled upward by this force, and at once it left the water, and the silver scales shimmered in the sun, and the powerful tail fluttered wildly in the air, but it was all in vain. The impact of the upward flick allowed the fish to finally get rid of the nightmarish barbs, but it was because their lips had been completely torn apart by the barbs and blood was dripping from them.

However, these zeders don't have to worry about what to do with their broken lips anymore, and in fact, they don't have to worry about anything soon...... The precise and powerful flick of the fishing beast can make these silver bream fly directly out of the water to a height of five or six meters, and then fall fiercely under the action of gravity and hit the hard rock on the side of the river.

A beautiful and seductive, but yet a death trap that kills step by step.

These bison-sized, hornless and elongated fishermen are also very docile animals, and although they are carnivores, they do not conflict much with other animals of similar size by the river, and they do not need to run long distances to avoid predators in this wood-lined forest, so they have developed this calm and leisurely personality over time...... It really has the poetic temperament of fishing alone in the cold river and snow.

Instead of rushing to feast on the fish that had been broken on the stones, the fishermen who caught the zederfish continued to swing their slender tails into the river and slowly swirl back and forth to simulate small fish, hoping to attract more zeder...... Interestingly, the beast uses its tail to fish, which means that if it wants to put its tail into the river, it must stand with its back to the river, but like ordinary animals, the beast also has two eyes that look forward, which means that it can't actually see what's going on in the river.

Presumably over a long period of time, evolution has given the fisherman's tail a keen sense of perception, and it has been able to directly capture most of the changes taking place in the river using the tiny baroreceptors on its tail, to the point where it can form a clear outline of things even if you don't see it with your own eyes.

Whoa......

Constantly caught in the trap of the fishing beast, and was hooked by the fishing beast with its tail and thrown out of the water, Xijie looked at the splashing water in front of him, and frowned in a tangled way, but finally drove to the river by thirst.

The appearance of the tide knot was naturally not ignored by the fishing beast group and the rising sun beast group, but probably because they felt that the size of the mystery was too small to threaten, and the two beast groups only acquiesced to the approach of the tide knot after only a slight commotion, especially when they saw that the tide knot just came to the river and began to lick and drink, they were almost completely relaxed.

"Comfortable, it's really comfortable to drink water after being thirsty for so long......"

After solving the problem of almost dehydration, Xijie seemed to even have a more powerful voice, she licked her furry paws, and looked at the beasts next to her, and her eyes began to show some subtle changes.

"For the rest of the route, let's go along this side of the river." Xinglan reconnected with the signal in space and carried out a global positioning work by sending electromagnetic waves, "If you go in this direction, you can go all the way through the Nanyuan Continent and reach the coast closest to the Macro Continent." ”

"Sister-sama......" Shioyu licked his paw again, his eyes fixed on the nearest Sunburst Beast, who seemed to instinctively feel uneasy and began to dig his hooves a little nervously, "That ......"

"Huh?" Xinglan answered, looking at Xijie interestingly.

"I seem to ...... Hungry. Xijie grinned, revealing his sharp little fangs, and the next moment, the blue-gold figure jumped up violently and rushed out as quickly as a bolt of lightning!

Finally realizing that something was wrong, the Sunburst was shocked, even though it felt that the size of its opponent did not pose much of a threat, but the herbivore's instinct still drove it to turn around and want to run, however, in the face of Mystery Xin's speed, it would not have a second ending.

"If you're hungry, then eat." When Xinglan finished responding lightly, the sunburst beast that was being targeted had collapsed to the ground weakly, and hot blood continued to flow from its neck......

"Yes." Xijie tilted his head cutely, and the little fangs mercilessly pierced the major arteries of the prey beneath him, "This is ...... As for the big meal, I hate eating fish the most now! ”
