The thing that emerged from the water was round, a bit like an oversized oval football. The only reason it wasn't an oversized football was that there were catfish crawling on it.
When I saw what it was, I vomited.
It was a human corpse, and it was the corpse of a teenager or child. It was obvious that he had not died long ago. The corpse was only extremely swollen and had not rotted yet. His skin was also riddled with holes from being eaten by something.
The catfish were crawling in and out of the corpse.
Why would there be a corpse here?
There were no houses nearby. When he passed by the village yesterday, he did not see anyone in the village. He did not see any children or elderly people. It was impossible for children to come here to play with water.
Since there was no one in the village, where did this corpse come from? Could it have rushed down from upstream?
While I was thinking about it, a catfish that was more than half a foot long suddenly drilled out of the eyes of the corpse. It opened and closed its mouth as if it was tasting delicious food. I accidentally saw this scene and my stomach suddenly turned upside down. Even if I didn't want to vomit, I had to.
I had just spat out two mouthfuls when a big fish came out of the water with a splash. After recognizing the current situation, it fiercely pounced on the corpse. The small fish that had gathered on the corpse fled in all directions.
Then, more than ten big fish emerged from the water and circled around the corpse with hostility. Then, they fought fiercely.
For a moment, the water splashed, and the scene under the cover of the mist made my body tremble and my back cold.
There were actually so many big fish that weighed more than a hundred catties in this pool! This seriously subverted my worldview.
A corpse was quickly devoured by these big fish, and the remaining bones sank to the bottom of the water.
The big fish seemed to be unsatisfied. They swam around on the surface of the water with fierce expressions on their faces.
I discovered a terrifying phenomenon. The eyes of those big fish were all red, scarlet red.
The most terrifying thing was that these eyes were staring at me without blinking.
I didn't know if the fish blinked or not, but a school of fish with black backbones floating on the surface of the water and more than ten pairs of scarlet eyes staring at me was not a beautiful and peaceful scene.
Are these dead fish after me?
I wiped the filth from the corner of my mouth after vomiting. I wanted to use the river water to make my mouth water, but I gave up on that idea when I thought about the disgusting scene.
But why are these fish staring at me? Could it be that you're not full yet and are preparing to eat me?
Then they would have to be able to climb ashore.
Although it was uncomfortable to be stared at by the red fish eyes, I really didn't take their threat seriously. I didn't believe that the fish would dare to come ashore.
There were many things that I didn't believe in. Some things became even more unbelievable, and some things changed my point of view into believing.
But what should I do about what's going to happen next?
Because I saw the big fish gathered in a circle as if they were discussing something, and then a relatively smaller fish swooshed its tail and swam away.
When the fish swam far away, it turned around and rushed towards me at high speed.
There was even a run-up! It can't be that it really wants to rush to the shore and bite me, right?
When the fish was about four to five meters away from me, something that I would never forget happened.
It actually flew out of the water and pounced on me.
A big fish was flying in the air, about the height of a person. Its scarlet eyes were wide open, and its black mouth was wide open. This scene was too strange.
I've heard of flying fish before, but they're a type of fish that lives in the sea with ideals. They're not content with wandering in the sea and are determined to soar in the sky. Thus, after countless years of evolution, they grew a pair of wings and wanted to fly in the sky like birds. Their ideals came true, but the ending wasn't very good.
The birds were probably angry that the fish had stolen their flying patent, so they often waited on the surface of the sea. When the flying fish jumped, the birds would attack the flying fish in groups. Under normal circumstances, they could make a living.
However, in this small pond that was more than ten meters wide, what did it feel like to have a fish that was a few feet long flying in the air?
Anyway, I was dumbfounded. When the fish was still one or two meters away from me, I came back to my senses.
It would definitely use its mouth when it flew over to me, but it was definitely not to confess its love to me. It would definitely not kiss me but bite me.
After I came to my senses, I instinctively waved the wooden pole in my hand and hit the big fish's head.
A fish weighing over a hundred jin isn't something that the small poplar wood in my hand can hit back, but it's still possible to change its trajectory.
The direction of the big fish's charge deviated under the effect of the wooden pole. In the end, it landed on the shore two meters away from my left and jumped vigorously.
I raised my pole and prepared to whip it a few times. Even if I couldn't kill it, I would make it half-paralyzed. It was absolutely unforgivable for it to dare to have designs on me.
At this moment, something even stranger happened.
I saw another fish jump onto the shore, but its target was not me but the fish jumping on the shore. To be exact, it was the tail of the first fish that came ashore. It bit the tail of the big fish that was jumping on the shore. The other fish in the water bit the tail of the second fish and dragged the first fish back into the water.
I couldn't use shock to describe my current mood. The behavior of these fish could no longer be associated with being uncivilized. Their actions showed that they already possessed intelligence! Moreover, it had already evolved into the field of teamwork.
It was imaginable that if the first fish bit me, the other fish would rush up and drag me into the water with their tails.
This was a terrifying thing.
I felt that I had to run because I wasn't ready to fight against the intelligent fish. I didn't have the right time, place, or person here. I didn't think I had the chance to win.
Taking a step back, even if I won, it would be no different from Don Quijote's victory over the windmill. It would be meaningless.
Sometimes, I do things very straightforwardly. To put it nicely, I'm decisive.
I decisively turned around and ran. I made up my mind that no matter how enthusiastic those fish were to keep me, I didn't plan to come back in this life.
I ran along the path that led to the small road leading to our Taoist temple, panting heavily with my hands on my knees.
After the breathing was even, I looked at the fish in the river and suddenly felt that rice porridge with salted vegetables was a good recipe.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:021420196:28PM
