Wu Chong glanced at the familiar ponds around him, and suddenly felt that the water temperature seemed to have changed slightly. His eyes penetrated the water layer and saw the reeds above, which began to turn yellow.
It’s autumn!
Wu Chong's heart tightened. He had just grown a little taller and it was already autumn.
For humans, the beginning of autumn is nothing. It’s nothing more than leaves falling, the scenery getting better, and the harvest season. But for Mr. Wu, who has turned into a big herring, this is a disaster. Autumn is here, and the cold weather is coming.
Is winter still far away? In his current state, he will definitely not survive the winter.
Many people don't know how fish survive the winter and think that the creatures in the water are not affected much. Wu Chong didn't know it before, but now he knows.
The first thing fish have to do to cope with winter is to put on autumn fat. That is to say, they eat crazily in autumn to make themselves a little fatter. This is also the reason why it is easiest to catch fish in autumn. Apart from this,
They also need to migrate to areas with slightly higher water temperatures and reduce activity to maintain life expenditure.
There is definitely no need to think about migration. He doesn't even know if this water area is connected to the outside world. Without knowing the environment, rash migration is basically delivering food.
So the most reliable way is to eat, then find a relatively warm place and reduce activities!
In order not to be eliminated, this time Wu Chong decided to take the initiative and eat some meat!
In the river, a palm-sized small herring swam silently into the mud pile by the river under the cover of algae. The whole movement was like an invasion by thieves, far beyond comparison with other similar ones. He stared at a few people foraging there.
A snail, even though it has a shell, is already a rare soft persimmon to him.
He first stopped and observed for a while, and after making sure that no other neighbors were fishing here, he swooped over, bit a snail in one bite, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The whole process is like lightning, from hands-on to back diving in one go.
A cloud of muddy water splashed up, and then...
Nothing happened.
After a long battle of wits and courage, it turns out that the enemy is air.
The snails that he ate were a little bit jarring, but fortunately, fishes have 'throat teeth' that can slowly grind off the shells of these things. After eating the meat, Master Wu did not slack off, and he followed the same pattern.
Several old friends ate the snails together until they couldn't hold it any longer and then slowly returned to the dive.
In this way, he broke away from the carrion-eating team, and his body became stronger and stronger.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
In two months, his little fry has grown a lot. Fish like herring, which has a short lifespan, also grow very fast. Now Mr. Wu weighs 3 kilograms. If someone catches him, he will
It's enough to make a plate of braised fish back home. With this size, Wu Chong's confidence finally became stronger, and the eel brother no longer had his idea, the loach brother had begun to worry about him, and the black fish brother who he looked up to at the beginning,
Now I don’t dare to bully him at will!
When he reached three kilograms, Wu Chong finally stopped being as low-key as before and began to slowly explore the surrounding waters.
In the process, he saw many herrings just like him.
Most of these herrings are dull and can't even communicate with each other. The same goes for other fishes. At most, they can only send out simple messages, such as 'hungry', 'eat', etc. This makes Wu Chong a little disappointed.
The general environment here is like this, so he has no chance to go out.
Without cultivation, he would not even be able to leave the pond, let alone seek the relics of the demon god.
"Why can't we practice cultivation? Are there no monsters in this world?"
Wu Chong wandered around, which made him a little irritated. Just when he was about to give up, a huge river clam opened its shell in the mud pond, and a dazzling light emitted from inside. This river clam was about the size of a stone mill.
, the whole body is like jade, giving people the feeling of a treasure from the deep sea, especially the pearl lying among the river clams, which exudes an alluring fragrance like elixir.
As soon as the breath dissipated, half of the pond was affected, and countless fish and shrimps swarmed in. The scene was like being delivered to your door.
Wu Chong was also affected by the aura and subconsciously wanted to rush over.
But reason told him that when encountering this situation, it is best to be on the safe side first!
So he relied on his reason to suppress his impulse. Not only did he not rush over, but he retreated into the quagmire against the school of fish, watching the changes in the mussels over there from a distance.
Countless fish swarmed into the clam's mouth and began to compete for the pearl.
Without anyone's encouragement, these fish schools started fighting on their own. The ferocious big black fish bit the competitor next to it. Before it could seize the treasure, it was attacked by the eel brothers on the other side. The big river crab's claws were even more ferocious.
Clamp the enemy's vital points and fight with all their might.
This was just an appetizer, and soon, more ferocious creatures appeared.
An electric eel rushed into the school of fish and started a killing spree. The blood quickly polluted the river water, and a large amount of blood settled on the river mussels, dyeing the bright pearl on it red.
"monster?!"
Wu Chong, who was hiding and watching from a distance, was surprised and surprised. He didn't expect that there was no way out but there was no way out, and there was another village. He was already desperate, but he didn't expect to meet this river clam at the last moment.
This guy's abilities are obviously bewitching.
He used the bewitchment of the pearl to make the creatures in the pond kill each other to help him practice.
Didn't you see that after so many fish and shrimps died, the pearls on the river clams became more and more dazzling? The strange fragrance emanating from the pearls made even him, a big herring with reason, almost unable to hold on. His body's instincts continued
He was urged to go over and join the fight.
Fortunately, Wu Chong is not really brainless. He can still suppress this primitive instinct.
Over there, the fighting became more and more intense.
Wu Chong even saw a crocodile diving down from the swamp outside and participating in the fight. Logically speaking, fish and shrimps should be very frightened by such a ferocious beast, but now they are all confused by the river clam.
, I don’t know what fear is at all. After the crocodile came down, these fish and shrimps participated in the siege like crazy. The electric eel started to attack the crocodile’s eyes, and the fast swordfish took advantage of the water to attack the crocodile’s abdomen.
.
An hour passed.
The peculiar fragrance exuded by the river mussels gradually faded away, and the overflowing luster also faded little by little.
It's full!
The river clams that had eaten and drank enough restrained their magical powers and slowly covered their shells with their own shells. Without the pearls to blind them, the fighting fish and shrimps quickly came to their senses, and the ferocious fish began to fight for each other.
The flesh and blood of the dead of the same kind, while the weak survivors fled frantically.
Soon, this inexplicable fight came to an end, and the river clam, as the initiator, completely restrained its magical power and sank to the bottom of the river, looking just like an ordinary stone in the river, inconspicuous.
