"This is a 'fish wall'. All fishermen on the seaside recognize it. Once a school of fish forms a 'fish wall', it means that there are powerful predators that threaten the safety of the fish school. You haven't seen the 'Animal World'
Have you experienced it? A group of dolphins surrounded a school of sardines, the scene was exactly like this." Xueting's voice was a little hoarse.
Stevenson interjected: "Do the fish think we are a threat?"
"Fart! We have been here for almost a day, and it is now past 11 o'clock in the evening. Which fish do you see that is afraid of you? This is the fear of the old enemy. Now we haven't even seen the shadow of a threat, which means these fish are
Based on memory, no, it is the rules in the genes that gather together to form a 'fish wall'. In other words, their ancestors have done this for generations, so they do it subconsciously!" Xueting was already so anxious that she started to explode.
Rough.
Natasha finally understood what Xueting meant, looked around and said suddenly: "They can't be like this every day, right? Now that their old enemy has not appeared, there must be an inducement or condition for the 'fish wall' to form inexplicably.
Right? Is it a specific environment? Or a specific time?"
"Who knows? I don't feel any change in the environment!" Xueting shouted.
Zhu Xin suddenly said thoughtfully: "I guess it's time. The 'Steamed Grouper' wandered around the ancient city for a day yesterday, and nothing special happened. If there is any difference between today and yesterday, it is that today is
The fifteenth day of the lunar calendar is the night of the full moon. I don’t know if you believe it or not, but it has been scientifically proven that changes in the sky will affect the behavior of animals. For example, many amphibians will choose the night of the full moon to mate or lay eggs.
Some small animal populations migrate when the moon is full. After thinking about it, I think the only difference today is that it is the 15th day of the lunar month. Moreover, today is also the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is at its fullest in the year."
"That's not all." At this time, Shi Si's voice, which had not appeared for a long time, suddenly sounded in the headphones. "August 15th is not just about the roundest moon. Our Chinese calendar calculates the annual position changes between the moon and the earth.
It is very accurate. The Mid-Autumn Festival is right around the autumnal equinox, when the day and night are almost equal in length. The moon is located in the due east direction, and is directly illuminated by the west sun. It receives the most sunlight, so it is the brightest. And at this time, the moon is just above the earth's equator.
It is the time of year when the moon is closest to the earth, so the moon reflects the most sunlight to the earth. The key is, everyone at the beach knows that because the moon is closest to the earth on August 15th, the tides are also the largest on this day.
The moon also has the greatest influence on the earth's magnetic field. These are just the most common astronomical phenomena. They happen once a year and are not unusual. But today is very special. I believe you have all heard of the Five Stars or Seven Stars.
Let me tell you clearly, I just checked and found out that today is also a day of seven stars in a row. Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, sun and moon are arranged in a line. Our ancestors called it the "Seven Stars in a row"
, only occurs once every seventy-seven years.”
Hearing this, Stevenson began to curl his lips again: "Huh, there was some scientific basis at the beginning, but later it started to talk about theology, what about Qi Yao, Jiu Yao, nonsense!"
Shi Si did not "explode on the spot" this time, but said calmly: "That self-righteous 'Silly Que' will forget it if he doesn't listen to the end. Everyone else listens carefully. This time's 'Qi Yao Lian Zhu' is different from the ordinary one."
The "Seven Stars Lianzhu" is different. The order is: Moon, Venus, Mercury, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn. Let me put it more clearly. These seven planets are arranged in a string on one side of the earth.
, the gravitational forces superimpose on each other, jointly affecting the earth's tides and magnetic field. The same situation happened 198 years ago. It is possible that this phenomenon of "seven stars in a row" occurs every 198 years, but this is something I am not able to determine.
.”
At this time, Stevenson also turned off the engine. At present, there is only such a theory that can explain everything that happened in front of him. No one said it, but everyone knew in their hearts that the "Seven-Yao Lianzhu" might just be an inducement. However,
The "culprit" that really caused so many snakeheads to gather into a "fish wall" has not yet appeared. When it really shows its fangs in front of everyone, the danger will come.
Zhu Xin held the handle of the spear gun in her hand and leaned against Ling Hao. She had experienced the danger of life and death more than once. She was not afraid in her heart. Instead, she was able to face it with her sweetheart, which made her heart feel warm inexplicably.
, facing life and death together, enduring suffering together, isn't this the oath of two people who love each other and vow to be eternally faithful to each other?
"I suggest that we evacuate the ancient city temporarily and come back after tonight. Maybe everything will be over." Natasha suggested.
"It's too late. Even if you just chose to go back home, it's too late. I have already seen a huge unknown creature swimming past the 'Stone Crab' quickly. Its destination is the city, and there are more than one. Be careful.
Hold on, I'll come over to pick you up right now." After Shi Si said that, he turned off the communication signal, obviously going to activate the "Pippi Shrimp".
"What kind of animal is it? This little girl can't tell clearly!" Stevenson finally became nervous, muttering in his mouth while clumsily taking off his pocket speargun from his waist.
"She doesn't need to say anything, she's already here!" Ling Hao shouted coldly, a faint red halo emitted from his body, and the "Dragon Arc" scimitar was already unsheathed.
I saw two giant beasts that were similar in size to crocodiles and more than 8 meters in length, swinging their tails and rushing towards us like torpedoes.
"Get down!" Ling Hao shouted, grabbed Zhu Xin and Zuo Pengfei beside him and jumped off the roof. Tian Yong and Xueting also reacted very quickly. One each, they picked up Stevenson and Natasha and jumped from the roof.
The roof rolled down. Almost at the same time, a huge monster rushed to the top of the roof. Its head as big as a truck head poked down, and its bloody mouth almost stretched across the entire head opened, and there was a "bang" sound.
The bite was empty, and the huge bite force made the lake water explode with a burst of air. Fortunately, everyone escaped in time, otherwise if they were bitten by it, they would definitely be bitten in two without any hindrance like ham sausage.
cut.
"What the hell is this?!" In order to see their opponent clearly, everyone turned around to look around when they fell. The appearance of this giant beast really frightened them. The head was a bit disproportionately big, like a triangle. "
It looks like a "plowshare", with a black body and wrinkled skin. The four short and thick legs are like a crocodile, but there are no scales. There are very obvious webbings in the middle of the claws. The tail is long and thick, like a tadpole tail.
The tail fin looks like an extremely huge salamander.
"Is this the 'Overlord Salamander'?" Zuo Pengfei screamed.
"Silly bird, the 'Overlord Salamander' is a fictional novel. From now on, you should read less novels and watch more 'National Geographic' programs. Salamanders are generally smaller in size than giant salamanders. They are clearly a member of the salamander family.
Although giant salamanders and salamanders are both amphibians, there are obvious differences between them. Salamanders have webbed feet and skin folds, but salamanders do not have such features." Shi Si on the other side of the communicator spoke through the masks of the crowd.
He had a clear view of the camera and said while starting the "Pippi Shrimp".
"Giant salamander? It's just a giant salamander. It does look similar, but it's not that big!" Zuo Pengfei expressed dissatisfaction.
"Let's not argue. I have already sent the image to Jiang Mingyu above. He has many expert friends and will soon have a conclusion."
Just as the two were arguing, the giant beast continued to rush forward without stopping, followed by another slightly smaller one, which flashed past, causing an undercurrent that almost swept everyone away.
Fall to the ground.
Ling Hao carefully climbed to the edge of the roof again. The scene in front of him made his heart beat wildly. The place where they were was already very close to the center of the ancient city. The "fish wall" covered the sky and the sun, and it felt like it was standing right in front of him.
Large and small spotted snakeheads were spinning end to end, and a very human look of fear seemed to be visible in the fish's eyes.
There are far more than just two of these giant salamanders. At a glance, there are as many as seven or eight. At this moment, they have rushed to the "fish wall", and their huge bodies are just like a few fish in front of the "fish wall".
Like little geckos. Even so, the ferocity and destructive power they displayed still made Ling Hao shudder.
I saw some giant salamanders opening their big mouths with a diameter of nearly two meters and biting into the "fish wall", and dozens of big fish were swallowed into their mouths. However, the purpose of these guys is obviously not to simply hunt, but to
They kill for the sake of killing, as if they have a feud with the other party. They do not swallow the fish in their mouths, but repeatedly use their mouths full of nail-like teeth to bite hard until the fish in their mouths is bitten.
They vomited it to the ground until it was pulpy, and then continued to attack the "fish wall". The pieces of snakehead meat that fell on the ground were quickly eaten by the "spiny lugworms" all over the ground.
What's even more ruthless is that most of the giant salamanders are like sharks, rushing into the fish repeatedly, their big mouths are like meat grinders, smashing the meat everywhere they go, and the fish scales are scattered like snow flakes.
The "fish wall" was vulnerable to such a brutal collision. It was riddled with holes in a short time and almost collapsed. If all the snakeheads were not afraid of death, they used their bodies to fill the holes in the "fish wall" in time.
Ling Hao estimated that the huge "fish wall" should have been washed away.
"Be careful!" Xue Ting yelled loudly, and everyone turned around to look. Unexpectedly, a seven- to eight-meter-long giant salamander crawled from the ground into the yard where Ling Hao and the others were hiding. It shook its big head and looked at everyone.
Rushed over.
Everyone reacted quickly. Ling Hao and the others were from special forces, and even Zhu Xin was a decisive Interpol. The fish arrows were immediately shot out. Their fish arrows were all tempered with "sting ray toxin". The giant salamander
Rolling on the floor in pain, the house collapsed for a moment. Stevenson's tail was swept away due to carelessness, and one of his arms was immediately dislocated. Tian Yong picked him up by the neck and threw him behind him.
Seeing that the giant salamander's struggle was getting weaker and weaker, everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the wall on one side of the courtyard suddenly collapsed, and two more giant salamanders came from behind the wall. Zuo Pengfei clung to the top of the wall on the other side of the courtyard.
He yelled: "The wind is tight, pull! There are more than a dozen people surrounding me. If you don't leave, you will become the stuffing of dumplings!"
"Get the hell down here, where are you serving as a beacon for them?!" Tian Yong shouted.
At this moment, Ling Hao was shooting arrows at the giant salamander that had crawled through the wall, while shouting into the communicator: "Sister, if you don't come here, you won't be able to see us again!"
"The beautiful girl appears! On behalf of the moon, destroy you all!" The sound of a propeller engine was accompanied by a shout from the earphones. I don't know how the "Pippi Shrimp" braked. A drifting tail appeared above the courtyard, and the big
The fish arrows were fired wildly like a machine gun, and the giant salamanders that surrounded them were shot to death one after another, and the remaining ones did not dare to come closer.
Then everyone got into the "Pippi Shrimp" one after another, crowding the small deep-diving submarine like a sardine can.
"Let's retreat quickly!" Zuo Pengfei was almost pissed with fear.
Shi Si held a lollipop in his mouth and said mischievously: "Sorry, we can't evacuate. There are a lot of snakeheads and these disgusting big guys coming around. If we go out now, we will have to hit the 'Pippi Shrimp'
It sank. This ancient city is in the eye of the storm. Find a way to rely on buildings for cover and survive here for a while. Who knows what changes will happen next!"
