Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Bottom of the Belly

Thinking about the time when I fought with the salmon before, it was a thrilling death, but I didn't expect it to be something in the water this time, but it was much easier.

Although this ball-shaped water monster is far less powerful than the oversized Zheluo salmon, the speed is not something that ordinary people can subdue lightly, I think the more important thing is experience, this kind of combat skill Jiang Rou has obviously mastered quickly.

While cautiously approaching the ball monster, I asked Jiang Rou: "Your way of pounceing on the ball is good, how did you come up with it?" Those bobcats fought the salmon before, right? Do you have experience? ”

Jiang Rou chuckled and said, "The methods are all thought out, but they are different from what I thought." ”

I asked, "What's wrong with such a perfect plan?" ”

Jiang Rou said: "When we fought against the salmon before, the group of cats became big cats, this time I thought that I would ask my sister to blow the whistle and command, and at the same time it could become bigger, but the experiment failed, I don't know why?" ”

The fat brother interrupted and said: "Whatever, the black cat and the white cat catch the prey is a good bobcat, I see that you are okay to call them out, hide in your talisman and be aggrieved." ”

Jiang Rou turned her head to look at the fat brother and said, "Do you think your pet will be called out when you say it?" This talisman also has a life limit, it all depends on the cohesion of the bobcat spirit, the strong one can be summoned a few more times, the weak one will be wiped out, and some can't even survive the training process, so it's better to save some use, this animal is not produced everywhere. ”

I said how to see if the lynx was missing one, it turned out to be the number of times it was used.

"Training? Do you still have to train the spirit you caught in the spell? Isn't it that if you catch it, you will surrender and be at your disposal? I asked, confused.

Jiang Rou replied to me: "The docile ones don't need to be trained, the fierce ones must be trained, the country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change, don't you know?" I'm a spell, not my sister's beast magic. But now it seems that there is no need to train, the test just now proved that our two specialties can be used together, I only need to collect and call, she is responsible for control. ”

In fact, I guess that their spells and beast control methods are from a family, and they should have been used together, but there is no professional teacher to guide them, so they can only rely on themselves to comprehend them.

Finally walked to the monster ball, in fact, the distance is not far, but we want to keep it out of the water for a while, and when it is tired of tossing and turning on the shore, we will study it carefully, so as not to jump over the wall and hurt people.

Seeing that the thing was no longer moving, we surrounded it with peace of mind, and when we looked closely, we found that it seemed to be a fish.

The physical characteristics are similar to those of a fish, with fins but very short, and a tail that only occupies one-tenth of the proportions of the body, and the largest part of the whole body is its ribcage, which is swollen and seems to be inflated.

I've seen a fish that suddenly swells and is covered with spines to scare away enemies.

The fish had no spines, but in front of its head, there was an organ like a fishing rod, and at the top of the upright organ, there was a glowing sac, shaped like a gallbladder, and the light had not diminished in the slightest until now.

The fish's mouth was large, fiscated to the sides of its body, and a row of fangs protruded from it, which was very neat.

The strangest thing is that on the back of this bulging fish, there is actually a fish, which is an ordinary small fish, with a mouth like a sucker, growing on the back of a round ball.

The fat brother pulled his hand, it was conjoined and not parasitic.

Looking at the ball fish that rolled his eyes, the fat brother asked everyone: "What kind of fish is this?" Have you seen it? It's pretty fast. ”

Jiang Li immediately replied: "This is monkfish." ”

Forgive me for not growing up by the sea, I've never heard of this monkfish.

Originally, I thought that everyone knew a little bit except me and the fat brother, but I didn't expect that even Jiang Rou didn't know.

"What kind of fish is monkfish?" Jiang Rou asked.

Jiang Li explained to everyone, she said that monkfish is a kind of marine fish, and there will be a thing like a lamp on the top of the head, because many small fish have light repellency, that is, follow the light, so this has become a predatory bait for monkfish.

Legend has it that this fish only gives birth once in its lifetime, because when the male fish gives birth, it will burrow under the skin of the female fish, and then simply grow on the body of the female fish.

According to Jiang Li's narration, the two biggest characteristics of this fish are the same, but the description of body shape and habits is not the same.

First of all, the body type, the size will not be commented on, after all, people are tall, but this fish is a little too round, although the monkfish that Jiang Li said is fat, but at least it is the shape of the fish.

Then there is the living habits, monkfish live in the sea, even if it is a saltwater lake, where do the fry come from? You can't have something in the sea in the freshwater basin, right?

I asked Jiang Li for confirmation.

She couldn't answer, but vaguely said that it might be a relative of monkfish.

Yan Qiu's explanation tended to be more fantastical, she said: "Didn't we find signs of the ocean here? Maybe after the sea recedes, there will be remnants in the ground, and this fish is trapped and does not swim downstream, but stays here to breed, according to the changes in natural conditions, so it grows like this, but its own characteristics and habits have not changed much. ”

I have seen the formation of saltwater lakes, and the residue of seawater is relatively reasonable, so Yan Qiu's inference can only be used as our only conclusion at the moment.

The fat brother didn't care about that, he only asked Jiang Li: "Is this fish poisonous?" ”

Jiang Li said: "Monkfish is not poisonous, but I don't know the one in front of me." ”

The fat brother immediately said to me: "Zhan Xiao take a knife, let's clean it up, I think it should be no problem to fill my stomach." ”

I smiled and said to the fat brother, "Don't dream, there is no firewood here, what do you use to make fish to eat?" ”

The fat brother said: "You rich boy, can you endure some hardship?" If there is no fire, we will eat it raw, and the sashimi is still a high-end dish. ”

Nowadays, in this situation, it is not easy to meet something that can be eaten, according to the size, it is no problem to eat two or three meals, the key is how it tastes, I dare not make a conclusion, I can only try it first.

So my treasure knife became a kitchen knife, and I easily cut the belly of the fish, and I used my hands to dig out the fish offal, and then peeled it to keep the tender meat for everyone to eat.

But as soon as I put my hand in the belly of the fish, I felt that something was wrong, as if the fish had cancer, and there was a big ball of meat in the belly.

I grabbed the ball and pulled it out, and an oval-shaped meat bag with some internal organs appeared in my hand. It looks like a large piece of fat, and it's hard inside when you pinch it, and I don't know what it's wrapping in.

I carefully cut the fat with my knife, and there was a gold bar hidden inside.

I took out the gold bar, the fat guy took a kettle, and after rinsing it with water, we found that it was a rectangular gold bar, and the gold bar was also carved with some patterns, which looked like an abstract dragon, and it was called a dragon pattern for the time being.

The cross-sectional size of this dragon gold bar immediately caught our attention, and we don't have to guess that it is the key to open the door, which is the same size as the square hole in the wall.

It turned out that this fish was the key to open the door, and the person who came had to subdue the fish, and he had to disembowel, so that he could know that the key was hidden in the belly of the fish, which was really painstaking.

The fat brother weighed the gold bar and said, "This thing has several catties, and it is actually used as a key, and it is hidden in the belly of the fish, it seems that the owner of this house is very rich." ”

Yan Qiu smiled and said to the fat brother: "Don't be happy, it's not gold, it's just a copper rod, and it's also bronze, but it's not rusty." ”

I immediately asked Yan Qiu: "We have all seen the turquoise rusty bronze and the orange-yellow primary color bronze, why is it golden this time?" ”

Yan Qiu smiled and said, "This is a bronze of silicon-copper alloy, so the color is more golden and more like gold." ”

Yan Qiu explained in detail that I realized that all the brass items we saw along the way were actually bronze, including the copper mirror on the lid of the coffin, bronze had many alloy combinations, and some also added measures to prevent rust.

It's really uncultured and blind, I always thought that brass and bronze were not an era, and I was still thinking about how many dynasties were run here? It turned out that it was all a product of the same era, and I thought too much about it.

Looking at the fat brother who had walked to the wall and was about to take the key to open the door, I instantly realized that something bad was going to happen, and the fat brother was going to be unlucky.
