……

"Ahri" floated and floated, getting farther and farther away from the shore, and gradually began to dive.

As the depth increased, the amount of plankton decreased significantly, and finally there was no longer the feeling of flesh at the beginning, and Rayong also stopped staring at the plankton and paid attention to something else.

The warm sunlight ripples in the waves, softly sprinkled. The world beneath the surface of the water, with the ripples of the waves, looks bizarre.

Between the cracks in the rocks at the bottom of the water, the green aquatic plants began to appear, and the two pointed sparrows crawled on the stones, shining and darkening in the waves, revealing a bit of strange beauty. In a large crack in the stone, a large cyan pincer looms.

Rayong remembered in a trance that in the history class at school, the teacher once said that the late autumn of the earth is the fattest season for crabs. Would you like to catch a few crabs and try them at home?

The depth gradually decreases, and there is still a general distance from the center of the lake. At this time, the water depth is about more than ten meters, "Ahri" is closer to the bottom of the lake, looking up, the sun has become a blurry light cluster, not as hot as before, but like a cold lamp, the light is soft and not dazzling at all.

The sunlight spilling on the bottom of the lake, without the strangeness, seems very quiet. The dense aquatic plants are dark green, and groups of palm-sized small fish gather around the aquatic plants, foraging in groups.

These small fish have flat bodies, no larger than palms, and the scales on their backs glow with gold and cyan phosphorescence, with a conspicuous red pelvic fin and pure black dorsal and caudal fins. When frightened, when you dig into the mud, you can hardly find it.

The scientific name of this fish is blacktail trout, cypriniformes, and it is the most common herbivorous fish of green starfish, which can only be seen but not eaten. There are pictures of this fish in the biology books, but the color is a little darker than that. If it weren't for the fact that this fish can't stand too much light, it has the potential to be an ornamental fish.

Looking at this group of small fish, Rayong suddenly reacted. The types of fish in Yingyue Lake seem to be much less than I imagined. Except when near the shore, there are many schools of plankton-eating fish swimming by, and so far, there has been no sign of large carnivorous fish.

Above, there are few fish swimming on the surface of the water.

This seems a bit counterintuitive.

Although Yingyue Lake is not a large lake, it has a surface area of nearly one square kilometer, and it is also a natural lake, so the water environment should be very complex. Such a small number of fish is obviously not enough.

Just as he was distracted, the aquatic plants below suddenly moved, and then a cloud of muddy mud was raised.

"Ahri" subconsciously floated into the distance.

At this moment, with a "whoosh", a black shadow shot towards "Ahri", stirring up the surrounding water into an undercurrent.

Immediately, a fish lip was reflected in the picture in front of Rayong's eyes, and then a piece was suddenly missing.

Although the footage was quickly restored, he was still startled.

Looking at the dark cyan back that was at least one and a half meters long, flying away, Luo Yong had an urge to scold his mother in his heart.

I'll it!

That's a herring! It actually took a branch and leaf of "Ahri"!

Ignited plants can actively gather aura, and their own vitality is extraordinarily vigorous, so it is normal to attract fish. But the staple food of herring is obviously mollusks, what kind of grass does it eat? It's just a matter of eating grass, why did you fall in love with the branches and leaves of "Ahri"?

Why should the plants he worked so hard to light be eaten by a fish?

To this day, he still feels resentful.

Although that small branch and leaf is not the main body of "Ahri", it is also ignited by the light of life, and it is really hard to say what the consequences will be after being eaten by the herring fish.

"Ahri" was also emotional and extremely indignant.

Rayong hurriedly pressed his emotions and appeased "Ahri" first.

After a while, "Ahri" calmed down, and he also remembered the origin of this herring fish.

Speaking of which, this fish is also related to their family.

At the beginning, when he had just been assigned to this place, his father had expectations for this lake and put a lot of fish fry in it, including herring fry. Not long after that, the fry all died, and floated on the surface of the water with white bellies. After a few times, his father gave up and didn't throw fish fry into the lake again.

Unexpectedly, there were still herring fish that survived. Looking at the appearance of the fish, it is more than one and a half meters, according to the physique of the wild herring, it has grown for at least ten years, maybe it is the fry of the year.

Rayong can be so sure, mainly because the shape of the herring is indeed a purebred earth species. None of the known species of fish in the green starfish grow like this.

With this episode, Rayong was much more cautious in the future, and "Ahri" never came close to the bottom of the lake again, always hovering three meters away.

As they went, the blacktail trel at the bottom of the lake were attracted by the "Ahri", and the insect trap was quickly half filled. Perhaps, it would be more appropriate to call them "fishing sacs" now.

Apart from the blacktail trout, the biggest catch is a hammerhead bighead. Despite its name, this fish is not as cute as its distant cousin on Earth. A body of yellow-brown and red scales, with venom glands hidden under the scales, and a large head shaped like a hammer, but inside the hammer is an air sac, which puffs up when it reaches the surface of the water to hunt plankton, and when it reaches the water, it is withdrawn. The gills are also exposed outside the scales, as if they have not evolved completely.

This kind of fish is generally more than 30 centimeters, and if it is not for the luck, the fishing bag of "Ahri" will not be able to hold it.

Although there are other species of fish in the lake, his knowledge of fish is limited, and although they all feel familiar, there are only these few that can be named.

It took nearly two hours for Ahri to finally "swim" around the entire lake.

Now, Rayong finally understands why there are so few fish species in the lake.

In the center of the lake, he found a metal wreckage.

The metal shell was covered with moss and aquatic plants, and it was difficult to describe the exact shape, and it was impossible to tell what the wreckage was. However, he can be sure that this is definitely not a shipwreck, and the shape is too bad.

In addition to this, the shape of the entire lake bottom is also strange. Except for the gentle slope of the lake for a few meters, there is an almost vertical steep slope, and when you reach the bottom of the lake, it becomes very gentle, and the overall observation looks a bit like an oversized bowl.

The shape reminded him of an impact crater. With the addition of the metal wreckage in the center of the lake, he was almost certain that the small lake had indeed been knocked out by the unknown wreckage, and then gradually filled with water before it became a lake.

Because there is no underground river in the lake, all the fish came in by chance, resulting in a relatively small number of fish species in the lake, and the most common ones are blacktail trout.

Although the reason for the formation of Yingyue Lake is strange, the fact that there is no underground dark river makes him feel a lot more relieved. At least, he didn't need to worry about pythons, crocodiles, or the like suddenly crawling out of the lake.

However, the deepest depth of the bottom of the lake was no more than twenty meters, which was much shallower than he imagined, and there were few fish species, and it was easy to clean up, so maybe he could use it. It's a pity that now is not the time, otherwise, he will definitely have to find his father to sum it up and see if he can use the lake as well.

As for now, it is better to improve the water quality first and wait for the animal tide to pass.

While Rayong was meditating, Ahri was digesting the food in the fishing bag while wandering around the lake at will, continuing to catch small fish.

Suddenly, a dark shadow shook in front of him, and he suddenly came back to his senses.

When I looked closely, I saw three unknown black fish swimming in front of me.

These three big fish obviously didn't take the aquatic plants next to them seriously, they were all leisurely, showing off their elegant and charming swimming styles, and the scales on their bodies were as black as ink, without a trace of luster, like stalkers in the dark night.

Rayong subconsciously looked up, and at some point, no sunlight was falling on the lake. Calculating the time, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun shadow was slanting westward, and there should be less than two-thirds of the sunny places in Yingyue Lake.

These three large fish with elegant swimming postures are not small, more than half a meter in size, and they look like nocturnal fish. It used to be lurking in the shadows of the bottom of the lake, but now it comes out to forage when there is no sunlight. If it weren't for that, he would have turned the whole lake around before, so that he wouldn't have noticed them.

Just looking at this elegant swimming style, it is difficult to find ordinary fish. He had seen other people's Arowana in the virtual community before, and the swimming style was also quite elegant, but it was still a few points worse than this big black fish, even if it was the appearance, he also felt that the fish in front of him was more in line with his own aesthetics, but this pure black color was much inferior to that of Arowana.

Just as he was admiring the swimming posture of the big fish, the three fish suddenly stood still and slowly sank downward, only the two small fins on the front abdomen were still fanning. Below them, a flock of blacktail trout swam right by.

Suddenly, three fish swooped down neatly and swept out like lightning.

Before he could react at all, they each bit a trout in their mouths and were swallowing. The blacktail trout was alarmed and fled in all directions in an instant, and some of them disappeared into the mud.

I can't see that this fish's predatory skills are quite good, at least he didn't react just now. It seems that no matter how elegant the appearance is, it can't change the essence of predators.

At this time, the anomaly protruded.

The bottom of the lake jerked upward, stirring up a violent current, and then a dark shadow suddenly appeared.

Before Rayong could see clearly, he suddenly felt the world spinning, and then a cloudy mud rushed to his eyes, and his vision became blurred.

Fortunately, "Ahri" reacted quickly, shook the branches and leaves, and quickly broke away from the muddy water area.

At this time, he could barely see the area just now.

In the muddy muddy water, a big black shadow can be faintly seen, and one of the three big black fish just now is missing, and the remaining two are also fleeing quickly into the distance.

The muddy muddy water gradually became red, and the big black fish that disappeared obviously entered the belly of the black shadow.

When the muddy water gradually settled, the black shadow inside gradually revealed its true body.
