Perfect pastoral life

Chapter 61 Ancient Species

afternoon.

On the bank of the Qingshui River, Chen Mu put on the underwater thruster he bought online, and he planned to try the effect of the thruster.

It has been raining continuously for the past few days, the water level of Qingshui River has skyrocketed, and the water flow is much more turbulent than before.

The river water after the heavy rain is very dangerous, but there is another advantage. The water level of the river changes, and the pressure at the bottom of the water will naturally increase, which makes it difficult for the crabs living at the bottom of the river to adapt for a while. This time is the best time to fish and catch river crabs.
The river was turbulent, and Chen Mu still had some scruples before entering the water. He tied the propeller firmly to his body, and as soon as he entered the river, his body was immediately swallowed by the fierce river water.Chen Mu had no choice but to follow the current and dive headlong into the water. Before turning on the propeller, his body was rushed downstream for a long distance.

Quickly started the propeller, and with the help of the propeller, Chen Mu's body slowly regained his balance. He turned a corner in the water, and while increasing the power of the propeller, he began to swim against the current in the river.

At the beginning, I was not used to it. Chen Mu couldn't maintain his sense of balance very well, and he slowly found the feeling after swimming for a long time.He tried to dive to the bottom of the water, and then slowly groped forward on the river bed, so that he could not only effectively control his body's sense of balance, but also clearly find the traces of the underwater crabs.

Pushing the horsepower to the maximum, Chen Mu quickly shuttled under the water, and found many large and small river crabs on the way.

Well, he's going to start catching crabs.

Chen Mu had a net bag tied to his body. Every time he saw a river crab, he would grab it into the net bag. There were too many crabs, and the net bag was full in a short time.

Seeing that the net bag couldn't hold it anymore, Chen Mu could only surface and swim to the river.Go ashore and pour the river crabs in the net bag into the fish bucket. I'm so sorry, there are more than half of the bucket full of fresh goods.

These river crabs are very big, can weigh 3-4 taels, and some can even weigh seven or eight taels, which is very large.In this season, large river crabs can be sold for more than 200 yuan a catty. Now that there are underwater propellers, it seems that catching crabs is more profitable than fishing.

Going into the water again, he went all the way to the upper reaches of the river, this time he planned to pick out big crabs.In other words, he didn't bother to do anything under half a catty, after all, only big river crabs can be sold at a good price.

The further upstream he went, the more river crabs there were, and after a while, the net bag around his waist was full of river crabs again.Chen Mu floated up again and sent the river crab to the shore. At this time, it was already some distance away from the tidal flat downstream where the fish bucket was placed.

After going ashore, Chen Mu dug a half-sized deep hole in the ground, then dumped the river crabs into the hole temporarily, and found big rocks to block the hole to prevent them from escaping.

Next is the third time into the water.

The underwater thrusters are very powerful. The first two times were very smooth and fruitful. This time Chen Mu decided to go to the waters further upstream.

When he was fishing last time, he remembered that he found many fat river crabs in the waters around Longdong. If he went there, he would definitely get a good harvest.

If you move forward by feeling the cobblestones at the bottom of the river, you will gain something along the way.

However, just as he was about to reach his destination, Chen Mu saw a terrifying scene under the water.

On the left front of his line of sight, near the bottom of the river, there was an anaconda with thick arms curled up there, and what was even more frightening was that the anaconda had entangled a huge strange fish.

Chen Mu took a closer look, and after he saw the strange fish that was entangled by the anaconda, he became ill.

What was entangled by the anaconda turned out to be a slender Chinese sturgeon; the last time Chen Mu saw that Chinese sturgeon, that is, the day the golden dragon invaded his body, he saw the huge Chinese sturgeon while standing on the cliff. It's impressive.

The Chinese sturgeon is a first-class protected animal in China. This ancient fish has survived on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. They are veritable living fossils in the water and are known as giant pandas in the water.

But now, this giant panda in the water is being entangled by an anaconda, and it is about to die.

If Chen Mu's guess is correct, there is probably only this Chinese sturgeon left in the entire Qingshui River. If it is eaten by the anaconda, it will be extinct.

It was too late to hesitate. In order to save endangered animals, Chen Mu risked being attacked by the anaconda. He increased the power of the thrusters to the maximum and swam directly towards the anaconda.

As a special soldier's occupational disease, Chen Mu carried a short dagger with him. He pulled out the dagger and swam towards the anaconda at an extremely fast speed.

When the anaconda saw a huge species approaching suddenly, it became alert, but it did not let go of the Chinese sturgeon that was entangled by it.The snake head of the anaconda faced Chen Mu head-on, and it spit out a red letter, which looked extremely terrifying.

Chen Mu didn't care about that much at all, he swam up to the anaconda, and stabbed the anaconda's body with the dagger in his hand.

The anaconda was stabbed by the dagger, it let go of the Chinese sturgeon, swung the snake's body and quickly wrapped around Chen Mu.

It was also Chen Mu who escaped quickly, dodged the anaconda's entanglement attack with a dodge, and was able to survive.

If unfortunately it is entangled by it, it will definitely be a big trouble, and it may fall into the hands of the anaconda.

The anaconda was injured, so it no longer chose to attack Chen Mu, and fled to the shore with a swing of the snake.

Seeing the anaconda leave, Chen Mu heaved a sigh of relief, but then he became nervous again.

Because the Chinese sturgeon, which was entangled by the anaconda, sank to the bottom of the water at this time, dying, its slender body had begun to lose its balance, and was slowly being carried away by the current.

The body length of this Chinese sturgeon is about 150 centimeters, and the weight should be about 30 catties.Judging from its size, this Chinese sturgeon has survived in the river water for at least [-] years, and it is definitely one of the larger ones.

Seeing the Chinese sturgeon slowly lose its vitality, Chen Mu was a little helpless. He wanted to rescue it, but he couldn't do anything.

At this moment, the little golden dragon in the body appeared.

The little golden dragon swam to the side of the big sturgeon, and it spit out several golden drops in a row, and the little golden drops were suspended in the mouth of the big sturgeon, but at this time, the big sturgeon was already dying and couldn't swallow those golden drops at all.

Seeing this, Chen Mu quickly swam to the big sturgeon, grabbed a small golden drop with his hand, and fed it directly to the big sturgeon.

The little golden drop is really a panacea. After a while, the big sturgeon began to swing its tail, and the body slowly regained its sense of balance.

At this time, the sturgeon could at least stabilize its body in the current.

The big sturgeon, which slowly recovered, began to swallow the remaining few small gold droplets, then swung its tail, and slowly swam to the depths of the river.

Seeing the Chinese sturgeon swimming away, Chen Mu also heaved a sigh of relief.He summoned the little golden dragon to turn around, directly floated to the surface of the water, and swam to the shore.

He was a little relieved to be able to rescue the Chinese sturgeon from under the body of the anaconda.

After all, the Chinese sturgeon has lasted for hundreds of millions of years in the long river of time. They are living fossils, species that exist like gods in the water. In Chen Mu's eyes, the Chinese sturgeon has a certain kind of spirituality.

Such an ancient species deserves his awe.
