C2468 Catastrophe after Disaster
Piranhas were locusts in the water. Wherever they went, fish and prawns would be wiped out, not a single blade of grass growing.
Cannibal fish were extremely aggressive. They were not large, and the largest one could only grow to half a meter long. Normal Cannibal fish were basically the size of a palm and small in size. However, there were many of them. Their teeth were extremely sharp, and they cut through gold and jade. Basically, no creature could escape their sharp teeth. Turtles were known as ultimate defense monsters. Even if they encountered piranhas, they would still be finished.
Of course, these were not the most terrifying ones. The most terrifying thing was the piranhas' reproductive ability. piranhas were non-sexual reproduction. They did not need to be male or female, nor did they need to mate. Every piranhas could lay eggs, every time they laid 300-500 eggs. From hatching to entering the breeding period, when there's enough food, only 5 days.
The situation was very bad. Not only the Yangtze River and the river, but the small tributary, small streams, and lakes were also discovered to have piranhas. And as long as they found piranhas, the prawns and fish would basically be extinct.
"Damn it, where did these damn piranhas come from? Why can they survive in fresh water?" Deputy Sect Leader of the Yangtze River Gang just fished a few prawns and crabs out of the boat. More than ten fishing nets were broken, and dozens of piranhas were caught. However, it was useless as piranhas could not be eaten.
Other than teeth, piranhas were bones. Apart from that, they were fish scales. The meat was less than 15% of the fish, and the most important thing was that the meat was poisonous, so it could not be eaten at all. It was simply a useless fish.
The expressions of the crew members and sailors who were following them were also very ugly. There was a commission for fishing. As long as the standard was met and there was an extra amount, they could take half of the profit. Now, there was nothing.
They relied on fishing to support their family. If they returned empty-handed every time, their family members would be hungry.
No one could understand why piranhas who lived in the sea would appear in the river and cause harm to the sea. Wasn't that enough?
"We must eliminate piranhas. Otherwise, we will lose our jobs." An expert said.
"How do we destroy them? After killing a piranha, they can breed 100 or even 1,000 of them." Deputy Sect Leader said.
"We have to work harder." The expert said unwillingly.
Deputy Sect Leader didn't say anything. He just stared at the surging Yangtze River. Frowning, he was also thinking about how to eliminate the piranhas. The words of an expert were not crude. If they did not eliminate the piranhas, the piranhas would destroy all the creatures in the Yangtze River. If they could not fish anymore, their Changjiang Gang would have to change its profession.
...
The Liang Mountain Lake was the largest inland lake, and it was rich in fish. It had fed countless players, but now, Liangshan Lake had been occupied by piranhas. They formed groups and hunted down all sorts of monsters and monsters in the lake. Some players didn't even dare to touch the area. The piranhas fearlessly charged up, causing the lake to boil. Water splashed everywhere, and a large amount of red rose up, dyeing the lake within half a kilometer red. Then, the ripples at the bottom of the lake became smaller and smaller and finally disappeared. Not long after, the piranhas rushed in another direction. As for the big monster, he had never seen it again.
Whoosh -
Whoosh -
Whoosh -
...
On the bow of the ship, an archer continuously drew his bow and arrows. Each arrow was able to bring a piranha to its belly and kill more than 30 piranhas in a row. The archer stopped.
If he didn't kill it, he wouldn't be able to draw it!
The bow was a spirit weapon, and the arrows were specially made arrows. Each arrow was worth 20 silver coins. The archers killed the piranhas to discover the anger in their hearts, but after calculating the cost, they became even more depressed.
It was a loss!
"Frozen 1000 miles!"
A white cold air swept across the surface of the lake. In an instant, the surface of the lake froze. The piranhas that were following the ship and looking for an opportunity to attack were all frozen. Red numbers floated out of the ice, and five seconds passed. Thousands of piranhas died.
The ship left for a long time, and the white ice slowly melted. The floating piranhas were eaten by other piranhas in the blink of an eye, and their bones sank to the bottom of the lake. In the blink of an eye, the lake returned to calm.
"Tornado Storm!"
A tornado with a diameter of 20 meters appeared on the surface of the lake, stirring the water. It created a scene of a whale swallowing water, and countless piranhas were minced into pieces. After the tornado dissipated, the lake water that was swept up into the sky fell. The clear lake water had turned dark red.
After Wind Magician cast this spell, he had no interest in casting it again. This spell had killed at least thirty thousand piranhas, but the number of piranhas that came from all directions was dozens of times more. The piranhas smelled the scent of blood and rushed over to eat the piranhas' corpses.
"Unless there is a way to solve the problem once and for all, otherwise, kill this small number of piranhas. It doesn't help." Fire Magician did not make a move. His ability had been greatly weakened in the environment of Mount Liang. However, water and fire countered each other. When fire magic was used against water monsters, it would be twice the result with half the effort.
The third chair of Mount Liang stood on the deck, surrounded by people. He was very young, but no one disagreed with him. His strength was the highest among all of them. He stared at the sparkling lake. During the absence of wind, Liang Shan Lake was very calm. These sparkling waves were caused by piranhas swimming around.
Under the calm lake water, there were piranhas. The color of piranhas was similar to the lake water. If one did not look carefully, it would not be easy to find them.
"Tell the brothers to go back and look for historical books. See how to eliminate piranhas." The third chair was not worried about piranhas, as long as it was a monster... He was worried about the East Crossing Army that was going out to sea.
He vaguely remembered that the earliest place where freshwater piranhas appeared was the eastern barbarians...
At the north gate of the vegetable market in Qingsha City, this was a region that specialized in selling aquatic products.
"Big Orange, give me two Yellow River Carp. If you want some fat ones, I'll treat you today." The scrap metal rushed to the familiar stall and poked his head out to take a look. His face was stunned: "What's going on? Aren't you opening today?"
There were only a few prawns and a few palm-sized fish in the pool. They were given to him when he collected the fish.
"No fish today!" Cheng Xinyi was even more hurt, and her expression was very ugly.
"What's going on? What festival is it today?" The scrap metal tried hard to recall what day it was today.
"No, we got out of the boat. We didn't catch any fish." Cheng Xinyi was even more hurt.
"Are you kidding me?" The scrap metal stared at Cheng Xinyi's even more injured face. It was certain that he wasn't lying to him.
"Changjiang Gang, Yellow River Gang, and Liangshan Lake didn't catch any fish today. Look at the market." Zhen Xinyi was even more hurt.
Only then did he notice that there were pitifully few people in the market today. There were basically no fish in the fish vendor's pool, even if there were. There were only two or three fish left from the day before. His expression slowly became serious as he asked, "Did something happen?" It was normal for a gang to not be able to catch a fish. After all, it was very risky to leave the boat. The three gangs did not catch a fish, which could not be explained by the risk.
The three gangs were not in the same water area.
"There are too many piranhas, so we can't catch any fish." When Sincere Orange said this, she felt like she was gnashing her teeth in anger.
"Cannibal fish?" The scrap metal was stunned for a moment. "Where did the Cannibal fish come from? Didn't this thing only appear in the sea? Why did it run into the river?"
"Who knows!" Sincere Orange took a look at the time. It was almost six o'clock, and no one had come yet. There were no more fish today.
The fishing time was usually around four o'clock in the morning. They would come back around eight or nine o'clock in the morning. It was about eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning. The second wave of fishing set off in the morning. In the afternoon, they would be back before five o'clock. If they were any later, the sky would be dark and they would still be on the river at night. It was a very dangerous thing.
Cheng Xinyi was even more hurt. She had been unwilling to close the stall all this time because she still held onto hope. Now, her hope had been shattered.
"This is a huge matter. How could such a thing happen? Before the locusts were settled, the piranhas appeared again. What has happened recently? " The scrap metal's expression did not look good. He, a dignified top Warrior, had come to buy fish. Why? It wasn't that he was showing off his culinary skills, but that he didn't have any money left.
The last time he hung up on a new map to stop the monsters... When the Sad Swordsman invited him, he didn't have the face to refuse, so he followed him. He had died once again, and the third time he had died was when he was fighting a dark gold cockroach. In order to protect his girlfriend, he died three times in a row. His equipment was basically all gone. He had used all his savings to buy equipment and pills. He was now very poor.
In any case, he was an expert of his generation. He had been reduced to cooking for his own sake. He could only eat fish. The other grains were all eaten by the locusts. The prices were too high. Only fish and prawns could be sold normally. In comparison, eating fish and prawns was the most cost-effective.
"There are no more fish. Do you want these? I'll give them to you. After tidying them up, you can also eat a meal." Cheng Xinyi was even more disappointed in her heart, and she spoke weakly.
"Pick them up." If it was in the past, how could a scrap metal like this fall for a small fish or shrimp like this? But now, after hesitating for a moment, it still nodded its head. However, he didn't take advantage of the fact that Cheng Yi was even more hurt. He still gave the money.
After the appearance of locusts, the aquatic market became the liveliest place in the entire market. However, after the appearance of piranhas, the hustle and bustle disappeared very quickly. Every day, there were fish vendors waiting, and at night, they returned in disappointment.
Occasionally, there were some small ponds and small streams that could still get some fish and prawns. However, such a small amount was not enough to stir up any waves in the huge aquatic market.
After a few days of not having any fish to buy, the high-end players did not feel anything. The pressure on the low-end players suddenly increased. They could not buy fish anymore. They could only buy expensive chickens, ducks, cows, dogs. The cost of living suddenly increased by a lot.
The problem of piranhas continued to ferment. Not only did it increase, but more and more players were discussing how to eliminate piranhas.
"Piranhas are also fish. Catch and eat them. Eat all of them. Damn it, not only do they not have much meat, but they also have a lot less crayfish? The meat of the conch is much less? Isn't it the same? No matter what, the meat of piranhas should be more than the field conch meat, right?" It was obvious that this was what the foodie had said.
"It's not about the lack of meat, it's about the taste. It's disgusting and poisonous. Who would eat it? Do you have a long life? " Someone asked back.
" Then it's the chef's problem. Isn't the viper poisonous? He also ate it, and the pufferfish's toxicity was even greater. Did you eat too little? I believe that as long as the chef tries to think of a way, these problems can be solved. " The foodie said.
"At that time, there were also people who said that the Roast Smoke Locusts could be eaten, but what happened in the end?"
... "" The foodie did not know what to say. If the Roast Smoke Locusts insisted on eating, they could also be eaten. However, after the attributes of many players decreased, no one dared to take the risk.
The disgust of piranhas was comparable to that of a scavenger. After thinking about it, the players thought about it. For a moment, they really couldn't find a way to suppress piranhas. Electric eels were the nemesis of piranhas. However, it was obvious that the Electric Eels would not listen to the players. Even if it was obedient, it was useless. There were not enough of them.
At this moment, a shocking piece of news spread out and shocked everyone.
