Chapter 189 Jellyfish

Jellyfish move very slowly, but they pose an unusual threat to fish schools.There was still a distance between the two sides, and the school of fish was already in a panic, scrambling to jump out of the water and fleeing towards the upper reaches of the river.

The ice bridge on the water was hit by the body of the fish, and a large crack appeared at the bottom of the bridge. The broken ice slag fell into the water, splashing a large amount of water.

"Boss, what should we do?"

Seeing the jellyfish appearing in large numbers, the hunters all looked dignified.

There are many rivers around Hunter City. During the rainy season, the outside of the city will flood, bringing a large number of fish and herds of animals to avoid the flood.

The appearance of jellyfish made everyone anxious.

They've all seen the destructiveness of this creature, a seemingly harmless creature that can wreak havoc on waters.

Wherever there are large swarms of jellyfish, there will be no eggs and schools of fish left in the water.Some were swallowed, some fled ahead of time, and some were too late to escape, suffocated to death in the water due to lack of oxygen, sank underwater, and became part of the soil.

This is more destructive than any kind of predator, including the catfish, which is extremely harmful to underwater populations.

The only good news is that jellyfish swarms only appear every few years, and only in some waters.Hunter City is not lucky this year. Jellyfish swarms appear in rivers close to the city, and nearby tributaries and creeks are not spared. The populations living in this water area are bound to encounter a catastrophe.

Xiao Yun reinforced the ice bridge again, the hunters were ordered to step on the accelerator, and the modified car quickly crossed the bridge.

As the wheels rolled over the ice, the school of fish under the bridge continued to jump up and hit the bottom of the bridge one after another, making the bridge unstable for a while.

Xiao Yun jumped out of the car, stood on the bank, and reinforced the bridge at any time.

The driver held the steering wheel firmly, and instead of being dominated by the fear of falling into the water, he gritted his teeth and continued to accelerate.Accompanied by the roar of the engine, the modified vehicles crossed the ice bridge one after another, and arrived at the opposite bank without any risk.

"Boss!" Jason stretched out his arm from the car window and waved at Xiao Yun.Because the rain was too heavy and the grayness blocked his vision, he had to grab a striking animal hide and hold it high in the rain.

After receiving the signal from the other side, Xiao Yun stopped strengthening the ice bridge.

The ice bridge across the river began to break and collapse under the impact of rainwater and fish.

Ice cubes more than one meter long fell into the water and smashed into the fish school, setting off a large splash of water, which made the fish school even more panicked. They squeezed and collided in the water, trying to escape upstream and get rid of the jellyfish behind them.In order to escape, different species even attack and bite each other.

In the confusion and panic of the fish, the jellyfish swarm is getting closer.

The transparent canopy is constantly opening and closing, and the long tentacles are swaying underwater. There are terrifying mouthparts hidden in the tentacles, as well as sharp teeth that should not appear on this kind of creature.

The injured mutated fish slowed down, their fins were torn off, their gills were injured, and their scales were missing. They couldn't keep up with the group and were gradually left behind.

The jellyfish swarms are after them.

The first batch of jellyfish arrived, and the white chains that gathered together suddenly dispersed, and jellyfish of different sizes flooded the river, locked on the target with their spiked tentacles, quickly entangled them, and tightly entangled the mutated fish several times larger than itself .

The mutated fish was terrified, desperately swinging its body and struggling in the water.

The jellyfish entangles more and more tightly, traps the prey with its tentacles, and then bites through the hard scales with the sharp teeth hidden between the tentacles, injecting toxins into the prey.

Different types of jellyfish have different toxins.Some can instantly make the prey lose the ability to resist, while others have to wait for a while to take effect.

Xiao Yun stood on the bank of the river and witnessed the scene of jellyfish swarms preying on them.

The surface of the water boiled, and the fish shoals were eaten away by the jellyfish, as if they were scraped by a steel knife, and disappeared one by one.

"Boss!"

Jason waved his arms again, hoping that Xiao Yun would come over quickly.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the water level in the river is constantly rising, and it may not cross the river bank at any time.In case of flooding, they are afraid that they will be trapped here.What's more, jellyfish swarms appear in large numbers, they must rush back to the city as soon as possible, and organize their staff to take precautions early.

Several types of jellyfish have quite special toxins, which can not only kill their prey, but also corrode the bricks and stones used to build cities.

In the event of a major flood, the surrounding area of ​​Hunter City is flooded, and this jellyfish is likely to be washed out of the city wall.If you don't make arrangements in advance, you may be in big trouble.

Xiao Yun didn't stay in place for a long time, nor did he form an ice bridge, but drew out his long knife, and plunged half of the knife into the water.

With the blade as the center, the river quickly freezes, freezing all the jellyfish near the shallow layer.Some jellyfish are huge in size, only the upper canopy is frozen in the ice, while the lower canopy and tentacles are still moving underwater, and they are also firmly grasping the struggling mutated fish.

This kind of jellyfish is generally poisonous, and was disturbed during the predation process. Their prey struggled desperately, bit off the stinging tentacles, and finally survived, swimming forward with scars all over their bodies.

Xiao Yun withdrew his long knife and walked along the ice to the opposite bank. When Jason opened the car door for him, he turned around suddenly and cut a piece of solid ice wrapped in jellyfish from the water.

The hunters looked at him puzzled, not knowing what to do with this thing back to the city.

"Eat." Xiao Yun said concisely.

"Eat?" Jason was stunned.

"Treat it with a special method. It is said that the taste is very good." Xiao Yun held up the ice cube. The center of the ice cube was not completely frozen, and there was still a small amount of river water left. Several small jellyfish trapped in it struggled to swing their tentacles. Fish, the transparent canopy is stained with a light red color.

The hunters in the car looked at each other.

They know that this thing can be eaten, but being able to eat and being delicious are two different things.

This kind of food can't be roasted or stewed. It will turn into water after heating, and it can't fill the stomach. For hunters who are used to eating meat, there is really nothing to eat.

But thinking about it, the city lord wants to eat, so they won't be bored.

In Hunter City, the words of the city lord are the rules.The city lord said that if the taste is good, it is good. Whoever dares to raise an objection will soon change his mind and give a correct answer.

As the convoy accelerated in the rain, a large swath of wet mud splashed on both sides of the wheels, crushing two side-by-side car marks.

After the hunters left, the water level in the river rose rapidly, and the ice was washed ashore and cracked piece by piece.

The jellyfish swarm in the ice finally got out of trouble. Under the irrigation of rainwater, they rolled forward along the current and temporarily hid in puddles and mud pits, waiting for the river to flood further, and then the group moved forward.

There are no jellyfish in the waters of the delta for the time being, but due to the flood, the mutated animals living here continue to migrate to higher places, making the isolated island more and more lively.

Ye An and Ling Lan returned to the cave, packed up their things neatly, took Uncle Wang and a few children to move to the cave, and entered the cave where they lived before.

Kapok led the tribe to strengthen the camp, using wood and stones to continuously increase the height of the tent, and made a large number of rafts and boats.By these means, even if the camp is flooded, the tents can be safe, and the small boats and rafts made can be used to go in and out for fishing.As long as the waterproof work is done well, it will not have any impact on ordinary life.

Ye An once suggested to Mu Mian that she could bring her tribe to Yanshan.

After thinking about it, Kapok declined Ye An's proposal and decided to stay on the edge of the island.

"We can observe the water level by staying here, and we will ask you for help if we are in danger."

Mu Mian told Ye An that since they took refuge in Ye An, they would help Ye An guard the island.It's just a little trouble now, there's no reason to let go and put the whole thing on Ye An's shoulders.

Moreover, before they came to the isolated island, their living conditions were even worse. At that time, when they encountered floods, there were no rocks for them to hide in, let alone the camps they have today.

Kapok made up his mind and informed the tribe of his decision.No one raised any objections, but felt that her actions were very appropriate.

Since they joined Ye An, what they can do is very limited. They can't open mines during the rainy season. If they want to show their value and prove their usefulness to Ye An, they must do everything they can, and there is no reason to be lazy.

When Ye An returned to the rocky mountain, lily of the valley had already lit the hearth, and several children each held a torch to dry the water vapor on the rock wall and stone bed.

Flocks of birds build their nests in dense forests and do not move into rocky mountains.Osprey followed Ye An all the time, and when he went to the edge of the island, they went hunting together, and brought back two special trophies for Ye An.

Ye An sat by the hearth, looked at the two palm-sized sea turtles, pointed at the head of the osprey, and asked strangely, "Where did it come from?"

The osprey spread its wings, raised its neck, and called out to Ye An.

"From the water?"

Ye An raised his eyebrows, and held up a sea turtle that was obviously just born.The little thing in his hand was very frightened, slapped his forelegs, looked at him with big wet eyes, unexpectedly, it was kind of cute.
