Chapter 235 Blood-sucking Fish

There are some slight changes in the previous chapter. I'm sorry.

He walked to the edge of the deep pool and stared at the waterfall. Zhang Ping climbed to the top of the mountain where the waterfall was located.

In the past few days, Zhang Ping has been very familiar with the situation near the deep pool. The three places in the deep pool are surrounded by mountains, and only one is a forest sea, which is the jungle road taken by Zhang Ping and others. The pool is extremely deep. Zhang Ping did not dive to the bottom of the pool several times. He even faintly felt in his heart that this pool of water should not have a sea eye, which can directly reach the sea, so it is so deep and unfathomable.

Although the deep pool is very deep, the absolute area is not very large, and there are not many kinds of fish. The most common is a gray-white fish, which is not very large, and the largest is only about 10 catties. Its meat is white and tender, delicious but not fishy, and the most valuable thing is to remove the strong, hard and smooth on the back. Apart from the bone spurs, there are no miscellaneous small meat thorns, which taste quite good. Even a northern woman like Elie is full of praise. In just a few days, Zhang Ping and others have tried several ways to eat: grilled fish, boiled fish, sashimi and so on.

The bone spur of the fish is also extraordinary. After the experiment, Zhang Ping and others found that the bone spur was extremely sharp and not as hard as the dagger, which greatly solved the problem of their lack of weapons. In the cabin, a lot of such bone spurs have been stored for a rainy day.

In addition to this kind of white fish, you can occasionally see a few larger fish, but the taste is much worse than that of the white fish, so there is no interest.

However, although this white fish tastes good, it is also difficult to catch. As Zhang Ping taught her the spear fish tricks before, the effect is much worse against this extremely fast and responsive white fish. Compared with the previous five or six fork fish in the past, it is quite good to be able to get one of the ten forks now, which is still under the premise of full strength.

But now their food has been greatly improved, and they no longer need to rely on fish as their main food.

Ellie and Polikova accidentally found that there are actually a lot of good things hidden under the silver beach, just like the sand crab that attacked Ellie before. After careful observation, it is easy to find a shape like a sand tower. If you dig deep from here, you can often find fast crawling sand crabs. Although the sand crab is not very big, it is better in large numbers, and it is easy to catch and tastes good.

In addition to the sand crabs, Polikova accidentally found that on the beach near the edge of the cliff, because it was full of reefs, many oysters were washed to the shore under the surge. If you are lucky, you can always harvest dozens of oysters when the tide recedes. The oysters here are not small, and the largest one is almost the size of the palm of your hand. After washing the oysters, Polykova exposed them directly to the rocks, and then sprinkled some salt on them. It tasted delicious, which became a must-have meal for them every day.

In addition, there is the kind of wild fruit that Zhang Ping found last time. Later, it was found that it was not only the wild fruit, but also some pine nuts and so on. There are some new discoveries almost every day, which has greatly improved their quality of life and their mood has slowly come out of depression.

Zhang Ping held a wild fruit in his hand and ate it while walking. With a leisurely look, I didn't know that he thought he was traveling and walking, not an adventure. In fact, for Zhang Ping, it is much better for one person to come out than three people to come out. He didn't have to hide his strength, and he showed it to his heart's content. He was so happy that he just wanted to roar.

The place where Zhang Ping passed is tantamount to being punished by God. Whenever there is a tree branch in the way in front of him, Zhang Ping only needs to cast a thunder spell. Under the lightning and thunder, the big tree in power was cut off by the waist, and the smell of anxiety permeated all the way. In this way, the speed of opening up the road suddenly accelerated a lot. However, it also caused a small earthquake in the jungle. Many small animals fled along the way, afraid of being hit by the pond fish and being struck by lightning.

Soon, Zhang Ping made a road up the mountain. At the top of the mountain, Zhang Ping looked around and was stunned to find that behind the peak, there was a different scene.

A river mezed, and at this cliff, it turned into a waterfall and flowed straight down and gathered into a deep pool. Around this river, there is a large area of grassland, surrounded by mountains, forming a basin. At the end of the grassland in the distance, the mountains stand high mountains. According to Zhang Ping's guess, it is probably the place where they first landed on the desert island, that is, the area where the dead lake is located.

And in the center of the grassland, there is a small lake, from which the river comes from. Around the lake, there are more than a dozen wild goats scattered, eating grass lazily. A harmonious scene is like a paradise, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Zhang Ping reluctantly held down his inner excitement and strolled to the grassland. The grass is green and green. It may be because there are not many natural enemies, and the length is actually knee-high. Zhang Ping squatted on a stone on the edge of the river and looked at the small fish in the river with interest. The river is not very deep and clear, but the small fish in it is rare in Zhang Ping's life. The color is unusually bright red, swam around in groups, lively and cute.

Zhang Ping felt a little thirsty at this time. Seeing that the river was clear, he lowered his head, held some river water with both hands, and poured it into his stomach. The river is clear, but it tastes good. Zhang Ping slowly poured a bottle into his water bottle. At this moment, I suddenly felt a little pain on the back of my hand. I took it out of the water and was shocked. It turned out that there were two small white marks on the back of my hand, which seemed to be two rows of small teeth biting.

Since Zhang Ping drank up the holy water, his body has almost reached the point of invulnerability. Like the usual cold weapon hitting him, there will be no reaction. At this time, I was a little surprised to see that there were two more tooth marks on the back of my hand. Looking into the river, there is nothing unusual except the group of red fish.

Curious, Zhang Ping put his hand into the water again. Sure enough, his hand was put into the water, and several small red fish had already swam over. Under the close contact with the back of Zhang Ping's hand, the pain just appeared again. Zhang Ping used the heavenly eyes to observe that it was indeed the group of red fish, biting the skin on the back of Zhang Ping's hand with its subtle teeth.

Zhang Ping took a breath of cold air. How could it look like the piranhas? In his impression, Piranha, commonly known as water tiger fish and man-eating moat, is a freshwater fish that eats meat in South America. They are usually 15-25 cm long and the longest length is 40 cm.

The piranhas has sharp teeth (which can easily bite off a steel hook or a person's finger), which is very fierce. Once its prey is found, it often attacks it in groups. A piranhas can eat a live cow with a row of white bones in 10 minutes. Locals use their teeth as tools and weapons. The Amazon River, Guyana River, Paraguay River and other rivers are frequent places for piranhas.

Where is this desert island? How can there be so many strange phenomena? There was once again an ominous foreboding in Zhang Ping's mind.

Zhang Ping was curious. Looking at the color of these fish, he always felt a little strange, so he caught a small red fish from the river like lightning and put it in the palm of his hand and watched it carefully. The fish's jaws are short and powerful, the jaws are protruding, and the teeth are triangular, sharp, and staggered up and down. No wonder it can cause pain to Zhang Ping. There are really unique tricks and means.

Zhang Ping threw the little fish on the rock next to him. Unexpectedly, the little fish was like an explosion. While the body was broken, a lot of red ** splashed out, and a bloody smell came to the nose. Looking at it again, I can't die anymore.

Zhang Ping was even more surprised. He caught a small red fish again, took out a dagger and broke a small mouth on the fish's body. The red ** flowed out of the small fish. Zhang Ping gently dipped a drop and put it into his mouth. Sure enough, he could not guess. This red ** was undoubtedly bright red blood. The red blood flowed out, and the color on the appearance of the little fish slowly faded. It turned out that the bright red color on the body was actually made by the blood in the body.

Zhang Ping couldn't help but feel frightened when he found this kind of blood-sucking fish in this small river. The clear river in front of him is like a flood beast in his eyes at this time. Zhang Ping has a deep ability, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. But if it is Ellie or Polikova, I'm afraid it will be bitten by this little fish and the loss of blood will be inevitable.

Zhang Ping continued to walk up the river. In half an hour, he came to the central lake. The wild goat, who was still eating grass not far away, just looked up at Zhang Ping. He didn't care, and continued to lower his head and eat the tender green grass.

At this time, what Zhang Ping thought in his heart was that he didn't know how the wild goat tasted and whether it was delicious. No wonder he ate fish or fruit for several days in a row. At most, it was snacks such as sand crab oysters. When he finally saw the wild goat, it naturally turned into a fragrant roast mutton in his eyes.

Zhang Ping slowly approached the wild goat. The other party was not vigilant, and even a curious one came to Zhang Ping. When the distance was only a few meters away, Zhang Ping suddenly took a step and jumped up, riding on the wild goat. The wild goat suddenly suffered this change, shook his head and tail, and couldn't help twisting his body to try to throw Zhang Ping down. The wild goats next to him looked at them in a daze, neither escaping nor coming up to help.

Zhang Ping exerted a little force, which firmly controlled the wild goat under him and could no longer move. Then the palm of his hand burst out, hitting the head of the wild goat, and the wild goat fell to the ground. At this time, the other wild goats woke up and fled one after another. But it was too late. Zhang Ping stepped forward and suddenly caught up with two heads. His palms hit out, and the two wild goats fell down.

Legend about vampire fish:

For thousands of years, there has been a rumor among fishermen in the Amazon Basin: don't urinate in the water when fishing in the river, because such a small fish will smell urine and then get into people's shade. The stem can no longer be taken out. Don't laugh, because modern science confirms that this rumor is true.

This magical blood-sucking fish in the Amazon basin does have such a habit. This kind of fish is about one finger-knuckle long, estimated to be 2.5 centimeters, which is as big as the "trait" tropical fish usually raised in the fish tank. The body is transparent and slender as a spindle. They often move in groups.

Usually, it will swim to the fish that are much bigger than itself, and then get into their cheeks, tear the upper tissue, and suck the blood inside. When this kind of fish sucks the blood of big fish, it will release an anti-coagulation chemical to prevent the blood from coagulating and losing freshness. After sucking blood, the blood-sucking fish's body will swell two or three times, like a flea, and its body is no longer transparent, but turns red. In addition to drilling into other fish gills to suck blood, the blood-sucking fish can't attack other fish to death, nor will it attack other places except the gills, so they are not as dangerous as piranhas. .

But the exception is if men urinate in the water. The vampire fish like the smell of urine very much. Once they urinate in the water, they will find the smell and get into the shade when you are not prepared. The stem, when you realize that it can't be taken out, you have to go to the hospital. Someone once urinated in the water because they didn't understand the local customs, but they had to undergo surgery and suffered a lot of pain before taking it out, so don't urinate in unfamiliar waters.

However, vampire fish is important for biologists and even medical scientists. When it sucks the blood of big fish, it will release an anti-coagulation chemical to prevent the blood from coagulation and lose freshness, which is similar to that of mosquitoes. This substance is exactly what medical scientists want. Medical scientists can use it for research to bring critical progress to the treatment of some common and fatal diseases, such as heart disease, blood supply system disorders, etc.
