He had only eaten a few chicken drumsticks for lunch and was not full. He had also swam in the water for nearly an hour. Swimming consumed the most energy. It was only three in the afternoon, and Xu Lei was already hungry.
If it was in the past, he would have been able to eat his fill by buying a bento box from a restaurant. But now, he looked like he had no money on him. In fact, even if he had money, he couldn't use it. He couldn't possibly enter a restaurant with money in his mouth. If he did that, he would be captured as a monster.
Xu Lei looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the trash can not far away.
When he was in school, he saw many stray dogs looking for food in the garbage dump. However, when he saw the buzzing flies, Xu Lei decisively drove this thought out of his mind.
" Wuwu." Before he could leave the dustbin, a low roar suddenly came from behind.
He turned his head and saw a large black dog about his size roaring at him not far away. Its four limbs were pressed against the ground, and its tail was slightly drooping.
Almost instantly, Xu Lei understood the meaning of the dog's pose. It was a threat and a warning. If he did not leave, the big black dog would probably pounce on him immediately.
He did not intend to touch the food in the trash can, so he naturally would not fight with the big black dog. He growled twice and turned around to leave. Wolves eat meat when they travel thousands of miles, dogs eat shit when they travel thousands of miles. If he only set his sights on the garbage bin to solve the problem of food and clothing, he would probably not be successful for the rest of his life. It was the same as being a human being and a dog.
The feeling of his stomach growling was really unbearable. Xu Lei was so hungry that he had no choice but to look at Jinming Lake. There were quite a lot of fish in there. Why not catch two to eat?
Thinking of this, he jumped into the lake again.
With the previous two swimming experiences, Xu Lei swam very smoothly this time. He took a deep breath and dove into the water.
His vision was still hazy, but it was much clearer than before.
Could it be that the red light spots were also effective on the eyes? He was secretly delighted and started swimming in the water.
This time, Xu Lei didn't aim too high. Instead, he aimed at the long carp. This kind of freshwater fish was very common in the water. It usually did not swim in deep water, so it should be easy to catch it.
Although Xu Lei was very fast on land, he was defeated repeatedly in the water. There were several times when he had already blocked the front of the carp, but the carp was very agile in the water. Its body slipped and it had already fled to another place. (This chapter was uploaded by 79 Literature Network. Please strictly abide by the laws and regulations of the country.

A dog's lung capacity was relatively large, and it could generally survive underwater for more than two minutes. After struggling for nearly three minutes, he finally shook his limbs helplessly and floated to the surface.
Xu Lei was unwilling to give up after doing nothing for half a day. After he adjusted his breathing on the surface of the water, he went back into the water. However, the time he stayed this time was clearly shorter than the last time. He tried three times in a row, and in less than a minute, he felt dizzy.
It seemed that his body had reached the limit of exercise. Xu Lei helplessly gave up the unrealistic idea of catching fish himself.
When he was catching fish underwater, he did not pay attention to the direction. Now, he realized that he was already quite a distance away from the shore.
The exercise just now had exhausted a lot of Xu Lei's physical strength. He struggled to swim to the shore. When he was less than ten meters away from the shore, he suddenly felt a dark mass of small fish swimming on the water in front of him. They were all four to five centimeters long, and there were about tens of thousands of them.
What kind of fish was this? Why were there so many? Xu Lei was slightly stunned, but he did not reach out his claws to grab it. The main reason was that the fish was too small to eat.
His claws moved quickly in the water, and the small black fish were immediately alarmed. They jumped and fled in panic, creating a waterway for Xu Lei.
Seeing that he was about to go ashore, Xu Lei instinctively felt danger approaching.
After only half a day, he had already sensed that the animal instinct was very accurate. Just like when Zhao Jun hunted him in the morning, he could sense the danger first every time. This time was no exception. His body quickly swayed in the water and he had already swam nearly two meters to the side.
" Whoosh." A huge splash appeared beside Xu Lei. A black spine emerged from the water and then disappeared again.
Although the big fish stayed on the water for less than two seconds, Xu Lei could still see its figure clearly. That fellow had a very strange appearance. Its body length was about the same as Xu Lei's, and its fish head was surprisingly large, almost taking up a quarter of its body length. Its open mouth was actually full of teeth, looking quite sharp. Although fish had teeth, they had basically degenerated. This was the first time he had seen a fish with such long teeth.
The color of the big fish also gave people a strange feeling. Its entire body was navy blue and covered with black spots. If it wasn't for the fins on its back, Xu Lei would have thought that this guy was a water snake.
The strange fish didn't stop after its first attack failed. Instead, it flew towards him underwater.
Seeing the black shadow charging straight at him, Xu Lei hurriedly turned around and retreated. However, his movements underwater were very slow. Before he could turn around, the big fish had already rushed in front of him. Its body slammed into him, knocking him more than two meters away.
"Hua hua" Xu Lei was caught off guard and drank a few mouthfuls of water before he surfaced. Unfortunately, before he could stabilize his body, the big fish crashed into him again.
Xu Lei had just learned how to swim not long ago, so he could not maintain his balance at all. Under the repeated collisions, he quickly became dizzy.
This couldn't go on. After being sent flying by the big fish again, Xu Lei no longer dodged. Instead, he faced the strange fish.
When the strange fish charged at him again, he suddenly stretched out his two front claws and hugged the moon in the water. He firmly grabbed the strange fish's head, and then his two back claws also locked the strange fish's body. His entire body was entangled like a bag bear.
Although the strange fish's body was slippery, Xu Lei's sharp claws weren't able to cover it. He directly scratched its body, and the surface of the lake immediately turned red. The strange fish was in pain and wanted to get rid of Xu Lei's attack. It kept hitting Xu Lei's body with its head. For a moment, the waves on the surface of the water churned with a terrifying momentum.
Not far from the shore, a large group of people were gathered under a tree to watch two middle-aged men play chess. Although there was a saying in the world of chess that said," A true gentleman doesn't speak when watching chess," ordinary people weren't so particular. In addition, they all knew each other, so the chess game was very lively. The voices of the group of people discussing were very loud, just enough to cover the movement in the lake. Until one of the people watching the chess unintentionally looked behind him and immediately shouted,"Everyone, look! There's a water monster in the lake…"
His shout was so sudden that not only did it startle the group of people watching the game, but even the people who were enjoying the shade not far away also turned their heads to look.
When everyone saw the scene in the water, there was an uproar. Many young people took out their phones and took pictures of the lake. For a moment, Xu Lei, who was fighting with the strange fish in the water, became the center of attention.
Feeling the gazes of the people on the shore, Xu Lei cried out in his heart, but he couldn't get away at this moment. The strange fish seemed to be completely enraged. It brought Xu Lei to the bottom of the water and then out of the water. They floated up and down like this. Their stomachs were filled with water, and their heads were dizzy from choking.
If this continued, he would definitely be tortured to death by this strange fish. Thinking of this, Xu Lei no longer cared about the fishy smell of the fish. He lowered his head and bit down. With a crack, the fish head had been bitten into pieces.
The strange fish's tail slapped the surface of the water a few times before it stopped breathing.
Only then did Xu Lei heave a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the crowd of onlookers on the shore, his scalp went numb. He had wanted to keep a low profile in the morning, but in just a short while, he had become famous. They had to leave quickly. Otherwise, when Zhao Jun and the others received the news, they might not be able to leave.
It was a pity to throw away the big fish that he had just killed. He swam to the shore with his mouth and then jumped ashore under everyone's gaze.
" Hiss..." When the people on the shore saw the big fish, they were all shocked. The fish was too big, about 50 to 60 centimeters long. More importantly, it looked very strange.
"What kind of fish is it? Why haven't I seen it before?”
" Exactly, what fish?... Whose dog is so powerful that it can catch fish in the water?"
……
The people on the shore surrounded Xu Lei and discussed animatedly. It seemed that quite a few people did not know the name of this fish.
"This is a specialty of our KP, the big-headed snakehead. Its color looks a little strange. This is the first time I've seen such a big snakehead.”Those who knew started to explain.
"Why is Wu Li fighting with a dog?”Then, someone raised a new question.
Xu Lei was also very confused about this. The fish attacking him was quite inexplicable. If it wanted to find food, there were many fish in the water. Why did it target him?
"Look at the lake, those are the young Wu Li. This dog must have offended the young Wu Li.”An old man pointed at the black mass not far away from the lake and explained," At this time, Wu Li's temperament is the most ferocious. Forget about a dog, this fellow would even dare to attack a person.”
After listening to his explanation, Xu Lei completely understood that the small fish that he had just expelled were its descendants! Seeing that the crowd was still squeezing towards him, Xu Lei hurriedly shouted a few times before grabbing Wu Li and rushing out of the crowd.
It would be a pity to throw away such a big fish that he had spent so much effort to catch. Although the fish was evenly matched with Xu Lei in the water, its true weight was not heavy. It was only about 30 pounds.
Seeing Xu Lei disappear in front of them, everyone who had recovered from their excitement felt that this was a little unbelievable.
After Xu Lei left the crowd's sight, he did not continue running on the street. Instead, he directly ran into an alley on the side of the street. At this time, most of the people were taking their afternoon nap, so the alley was quiet. No one noticed this strange situation.
Thirty pounds didn't seem heavy, but Xu Lei was already panting from exhaustion after running for nearly five to six hundred meters.
He turned around and entered the park not far away.
