Chapter 55: The Evolutionary History of the Salmon

After the bigger bobcat spirit joined the battle again, our advantage was particularly obvious, the fat brother three people plus the weight of the giant bobcat were enough to crush the big fish to move slowly.

The Demon Blade was urged by the scriptures to cooperate with Jiang Li's whistle, which was also a kind of torture for the spirit of the big fish.

Fortunately, its hind legs are tied to the gold chain, otherwise it can't help it even like this, after all, it can't be beaten, but the gold chain controls the big fish's legs, making it difficult for the big fish to turn around, and it is even more difficult to escape.

The tail of the big fish churned the water in the pool, and like a storm, it splashed on me in bursts, but our attack made no progress, and the battle entered a state of infinite stalemate.

The fat brother struggled to crawl forward on the head of the fish, and finally grabbed the gills of the fish with both hands, which allowed him to press on the head of the fish effortlessly.

Yan Qiu also learned from the fat brother, but due to his short body and short arms, he still slipped down after trying several times, and could only try to maintain the balance of his body.

The big cat also only kept biting on the body of the big fish, although many scales were peeled off, revealing the bloody flesh inside, but it could not be fatal.

Seeing that Jiang Li's backpack has been torn open, and the clothes and spices inside are scattered all over the ground, there is no good means of attack, I am afraid that this fish will re-enter the water and attack us in other ways.

I didn't have time to do anything else, I concentrated on reciting the scriptures, for fear that the power of the knife would weaken and I would lose control of the big fish.

When he was distracted and wondered if he could find a solution, he saw a huge cone-shaped object made of blue light fall from the stone slab above the big fish. It was like a big iron nail weighing several tons that smashed into the back of the big black fish at once.

Looking at the big fish again, it was like a note that was stabbed into the mouth of the bottle with chopsticks, and it was forcefully stuffed back into the pool, and the three people lying on the head of the fish were also brought into the water.

Fortunately, the three of them reacted quickly, as soon as they got out of the water, they hurriedly got out of the fish head, grabbed the edge of the pool and climbed up, thinking about this kind of time, it is not fast or successful, it is just a snail, they can win the 100-meter championship, fat brother They have also reached the limit of their bodies.

Only the big blue cat, still biting the fish, entered the pool with the big fish, and then dissipated in the water.

The blue light awl dispersed with a single blow, leaving behind a mess of stone chambers and an exhausted crowd.

The four people on the opposite side were already paralyzed to the ground, their limbs stretched out and soaked on the ground full of water, next to Jiang Li's half of his backpack, and items scattered all over the ground.

I asked everyone, "Are there any injuries?" ”

Only Yan Qiu replied to me: "Not here." ”

I ran over to see the water in the pool, which was already red with the blood of the big fish, but I didn't see the corpse of the big fish, so I hurriedly said to the people, "Now is not the time to rest, the big fish is probably not dead, and it will attack us again in a while." ”

I heard Jiang Rou's voice beside me: "I'm definitely dead, don't be afraid." After that, there was no sound.

I turned my head to look at Jiang Rou again, Jiang Rou had passed out on the ground at this time, and on the ground beside her, there was a red rune paper that had been burned half-burned, and in her hand, she was holding the demon pestle.

Only then did I realize that the blue awl that had just fallen from the stone slab was the tip of the demon-slaying pestle. According to my understanding, Jiang Rou should use spells to connect with the stone slab on the roof, and use the scriptures on the stone slab to suppress the big fish, so as to amplify the power of the demon pestle.

Without saying a word, I ran out alone, crawled out of the pit, grabbed the tip of the trident in the hand of the Puba King Kong, and shook it up and down like a handshake, and then felt the ground under my feet rumble.

The fat brother's scolding voice immediately came from inside: "What are you tossing about?" Want to kill? ”

I jumped back into the stone room and saw that Jiang Li, Yan Qiu, and Su Rina at this time had already hid in the sewer pipe, and the fat brother was holding Jiang Rou who had fainted, standing there looking at me.

It seems that this is not their limit, and when a new danger comes, there is still strength to escape, and I can't help but snicker in my heart.

As I expected, the middle slab fell back over the pool, and the whole slab sank into the pool, the back of the slab level with the ground.

On the four corners of the back of the slab were four large golden chains, which extended to the top of the stone chamber, and were gathered together by a golden hoop, which stretched out from the ceiling of the stone chamber, like a kite tied by four hanging lines, but these four gold chains were completely loose and not taut.

I suspect that there must be a wheel inside the statue of Puba, and when the mechanism is activated, the iron chain can be rolled into it and the stone slab can be raised.

I helped the fat brother carry Jiang Rou and walked into the pipe where Yanqiu and the others were hiding, and then everyone's mood relaxed.

Jiang Li and Su Rina ran out again, picked up the scattered things in Jiang Li's bag, picked up some clothes that could still be used and Jiang Li, picked them up, and distributed them into everyone's backpacks.

Everyone sat in the pipe, took off their clothes and pants, and wrung out the water inside, only Jiang Rou was still lying there unconscious, and her sister had stripped off her clothes and replaced them with dry ones.

It seems that the previous section in the temple is not without benefits, at least everyone no longer shy away from the difference between men and women, and there is no need to wear wet clothes and stand upright.

After packing up our clothes and calming down, Jiang Rou was still lying there and sleeping soundly, and we were left with a boring rest.

I didn't feel tired just now, but now I feel tired, in fact, I didn't spend much body, and the nervous mood alone has exhausted me.

I asked Jiang Li, "Was that big guy a salmon just now?" ”

Jiang Li said: "On the whole, there is no doubt that it is a salmon, but this fish has two hind legs, and I don't know whether it has evolved or degenerated, or it is not the salmon we know at all, it is another creature." ”

Yan Qiu said: "The law of paleontological evolution is that from water to land, and fish with legs must have evolved, unless it is a mammal in the water, which is from land to sea, such as whales, dolphins, walruses, etc." ”

"Do you mean this salmon is ready to go ashore?" Jiang Li asked.

Yan Qiu replied in a calm tone: "No, biological evolution is a very long process, which requires the compulsion of the environment, to die thousands of compatriots, in order to evolve layer by layer like a pyramid, until many generations later, it can be completely completed, not that a certain one can become legged from no legs, the next step of evolution must be completed by its children or grandchildren, great-grandchildren, it is born like this, and it should not change until death." ”

The fat brother sounded very interesting, and also came to ask Yan Qiu for advice: "Then what do you say this black grandson is?" How do you have legs? ”

Yan Qiu smiled and said, "This must be based on fossils, otherwise it's all speculation." According to my guess, this should be the case, this was originally the ocean, but later the ocean became smaller and smaller, and it became difficult for the large black fish here to survive, and the surviving fish had to go ashore to hunt from time to time, which led to the descendants of the zhì generation to slowly evolve their hind legs. Then all the oceans disappeared and there was plenty of fresh water, and the environment here allowed freshwater organisms to flourish, and the big black fish no longer needed to come ashore and no longer need to evolve. In this process, a large number of black fish died, probably because there was not enough food, or because they could not adapt to fresh water, leaving only a small part of their breeding offspring, and their offspring degraded their hind legs again, and they were more adapted to life in fresh water. ”

"And this one we see is one of those who didn't degenerate its hind legs in the first place, and it has adapted to the environment here over the years and has survived?" I made additional questions.

Yan Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, maybe that's the case, it's all just speculation, and there is no scientific basis." ”

Su Rina asked, "Is that the mural on the wall?" ”

Yan Qiu thought for a while and said: "Maybe, this big fish may be able to survive the cold winter by freezing itself in the ice and hibernating, so that the body functions stop." Later, the inhabitants of this area discovered that they ate the meat of the big fish while it hibernated, and in order to have a long-term supply of fish in winter, they were very modest, and did not kill the big fish, but worshiped it as a god, and let it reproduce in the summer, so that the river was rich in aquatic products. ”

Jiang Li immediately said: "I know, some of the salmon are big, and they don't seem to have grown up since they were young, they are born big." ”

We were all amused by Jiang Li, if the water here is connected to the fresh water of the outside world, it is really possible.

Our laughter woke Jiang Rou, and Jiang Rou said weakly: "In order to control this big fish, they trapped the big fish in the pool, tied the hind legs with gold chains, and found a way to suppress it, and they will not open the lid on it until it freezes in winter." ”R1058
