Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Thorn Fish
There was a light rain in the sky.
At the foot of the mountain.
It had been raining heavily since yesterday afternoon, and after a night, the water on the ground was much deeper.
Many of the tribesmen stood in the stagnant water with their spears in their hands, their arms raised high, and then the spears in their hands stabbed hard into the water.
After stabbing twice in the water, when he raised his spear, there was a big fish with its tail flicking and sharp teeth struggling at the head of the spear.
Such sharp and dense teeth...... Could it be a piranha?
Ye Xi looked into the water.
I saw that in the ankle-deep water, there were many strange fish with strange looks and sharp teeth.
These piranhas are blue-gray and about the thickness of an adult's arm, swimming wildly in the water. They seem to have a lot of power, and whenever they flick their tails, they make a splash.
Some piranhas spread their teeth and gathered around their people's feet, fluttering and biting at their calves, making a splash.
Fortunately, the skin was thick and did not bite through it for a while.
Among the clansmen standing in the water to insert fish, there are actually a few sturdy women, who are not afraid of the danger of being bitten by piranhas, and bravely participate in the hunt.
The chief and Putai did not go into the water, but stood on the shore and watched them.
Sensing the footsteps, the two turned their heads and saw that it was Ye Xi and them.
Putai smiled and said, "Finally awake?"
Tongue-in-cheek.
Cone and Ye Xi are both thick-skinned people, and their faces have not changed much when they hear this.
The chief said with a smile: "Ye Xi is still growing his body now, and I can sleep well when I am his age." ”
Pu Tai squeezed the cone, and deliberately said loudly: "Ye Xi woke up late because he was growing up, what about you, you are purely lazy!"
Cone was not happy: "I'm also growing my body, I'm not yet twenty!"
"I've got a partner, and that's it!" said Putai smiled and shook his head.
The chief picked up two spears from the ground beside him, "Take it, it's for you." ”
Ye Xi took the spear, this spear was made of wood all over, but the spearhead was sharpened.
The two men first put down their spears, bent down to wrap their skins around their feet, and then picked up their spears and prepared to go into the water with great interest.
The chief advised: "Ye Xi, you are the first time to stab fish, so I have to say one more thing." ”
"Remember, once the skin is bitten through, it will come back immediately. These fish have short but sharp teeth, and without the protection of animal skins, they will immediately bite and bleed. And as soon as they smell blood, they will pounce on them as if they are crazy. ”
"So it's going to be troublesome then. ”
Ye Xi nodded: "Okay, I know." ”
Standing in the water, many piranhas immediately surrounded them, shaking their heads and tails and gnawing on Ye Xi's animal skin and feet.
Although he felt a lot of force coming from his feet, Ye Xi didn't care, anyway, they couldn't bite through the animal skin for a while.
He looked down at the water around him, and saw that there were a few other fish in the water besides the piranha.
The fish has a large head and a cyan carapace, but its body is small and swims slowly in the water.
Piranhas sometimes attack them, but when the fish sees an enemy, it immediately runs so fast that the piranhas can't catch up.
The continuous torrential rains raised the water level, and the small fish in the river swam out of the river first.
Sensing that Ye Xi was looking at the fish, the cone standing next to him said, "This fish doesn't have to worry about it, it doesn't have any meat." ”
Ye Xi: "Hmm. ”
Seeing that there were more and more piranhas tearing animal skins at his feet, Ye Xi shook his feet vigorously.
None of them let go.
Ye Xi raised his spear high and aimed at the piranha biting the skin of the ankle and stabbed it violently.
Seeing Ye Xi's movements, he was startled: "Ye Xi, you are not afraid of stabbing yourself in the foot!"
They were all fish swimming next to their stings, and although the fish at their feet were tearing at the hides, they were too close to each other for fear of accidentally stabbing their feet.
"It's okay, I can't stab. ”
Ye Xi raised his spear, only to see a piranha with its tail flicking vigorously stuck in the spearhead.
This piranha has been pierced through its body by the spearhead, and the action of flicking its tail is still so powerful, Ye Xi sighed. It is worthy of a prehistoric species.
After taking two steps, Ye Xi threw the piranha on the spearhead into the big stone bucket placed not far away.
He looked over and saw that the piranhas in the big stone bucket were already half a bucket, and many of them were not dead, but were still fluttering vigorously.
Bang bang.
Jiaojiao churned violently in the water.
Next to the huge black python's body, the piranha almost circled, with its mouth wide open, trying to tear the flesh off.
Jiaojiao's thick tail suddenly rose high to reveal the water.
I saw seven or eight piranhas hanging from the tail that came out of the water.
Then Jiaojiao's tail flicked against the water.
Water splashes.
Sprinkled on the surrounding people who were stabbing fish.
"Jiaojiao!" protested loudly, he was the closest and was doused the most.
Jiaojiao ignored him, just now with such a flick, a lot of piranhas biting their tails were stunned, Jiaojiao python opened its mouth wide, devoured it to its heart's content, and swallowed them all into its belly.
In the water, I saw that many piranhas came up again, and the Jiaojiao swam flexibly, swimming to this end for a while, and swimming to that end for a while.
The long python writhed, tossed the piranhas aside, and then turned around and opened its mouth wide, like a big bag, and put a few piranhas into its mouth.
Those piranhas didn't know how to be afraid, and still gathered around Jiaojiao, desperately trying to bite it.
Ye Xi was afraid that Jiaojiao would eat up all the fish in this place, so he gave an order to let him go to a slightly farther place.
At this moment, there must be fish not only at the foot of Tu Mountain, but also in the distance.
Ye Xi continued to stab the fish.
He was very efficient, and when the spearhead stabbed down, he was a fish, and finally he simply stood next to the big stone barrel, and there were always piranhas around him anyway.
The chief on the shore suddenly shouted: "The water centipede is coming, you hurry ashore!
When the people in the water heard this, their faces changed, and they immediately picked up the stone bucket, dripped the water, and strode towards the shore.
Water centipede?
Ye Xi raised his head and looked around, only to see that not far from the right, there were dark red, foot-long water centipedes, swinging their bodies and swimming towards this side.
Ye Xi frowned, and gave Jiaojiao an order to come back quickly.
Jiaojiao was very obedient, and almost when the tribesmen came to the shore, it also rushed back from a little farther away and climbed to the shore.
Almost as soon as they came ashore, they ran to the top of the mountain, and they did not have time to take off the skins and wraps on their feet.
The speed of those water centipedes was not slow, only about ten breaths, and they swam nearby, and after their heads were exposed to the water, they actually followed the crowd and climbed to the shore one after another.
For a while, the mountains were densely packed with ugly water centipedes.
Jiaojiao saw that there were so many water centipedes chasing behind him, and he was furious, and the thick python tail flung at the water centipede group, and suddenly a water centipede was thrown away.
When the chief heard the movement and turned around, he saw Jiaojiao resisting, and shouted to Ye Xi: "If this thing bites someone, people's skin will be numb, let Jiaojiao come back!"
Sure enough, Jiaojiao's movements gradually stiffened, the force of flicking its tail weakened, and those water centipedes climbed onto Jiaojiao one after another.
Jiaojiao roared and rolled on the ground.
The huge body ran over the ground, and many water centipedes were crushed.
Seeing this, Ye Xi hurriedly shouted: "Jiaojiao, come back quickly!"
Jiaojiao endured the paralysis of his body, and quickly swam to Ye Xi's side, Ye Xi stretched out his hand and slapped away the water centipedes attached to Jiaojiao's body that had not been crushed, and then followed everyone.
