At this time, just 50 meters behind the two of them, at the foot of the mountain on the south side, a badger was squatting by a pond, staring at the black shadow swaying under the water.
On the south side of the terraced rock wall, there is a valley leading directly to the top of the mountain. The vegetation is dense and there are many trees, precisely because there is a stream running through the top of the mountain. To be honest, if you climb the mountain from here, the progress will be faster. But in that case, you won't be able to live broadcast the rock climbing.
The wolf Xiao Si, who always played around during the stopover, did not follow this time, but stayed beside Wang An and licked the dog food in the small iron basin. He encountered kangaroos several times in a row. I don't know if this guy has a psychological trauma, but I feel that he has "matured" a lot this morning.
Gu Laosan's live broadcast room was split into two groups. One group switched to the perspective of a salted fish, staring at the profile of the "young lady" and drooling. The other group looked at the little furry face reflected on the water surface on the screen, guessing what a badger was going to do next.
Because it is forbidden to light fires in areas other than camping sites in Grampians, Wang An brought self-heating instant food or compressed food. Wang Ping is a carnivore, but Gu Laosan, that bastard, forgot to replenish it when he left the bush campsite.
It's okay to make do with it occasionally, but seeing that he might have to stay in the mountains for two days, Wang Ping began to think about improving his life. He didn't dare to catch any animals, but catching two fish to make sashimi was not too much, right
After looking around, a badger ran to break off a few 20-centimeter-long branches of the bush, pulled off the leaves, made them into the shape of an arrow shaft, held them in its claws like a javelin, and aimed at the dark shadow under the water.
Through the water, you can vaguely see a palm-sized silver fish swimming back and forth underwater, with black spots on its back, a bit like a perch. Wang Ping stood on a rock on the shore holding a branch with one claw, posing for a long time. Just when a fish paused, he swung his little arm violently, and the branch instantly plunged into the water.
The force of the branch containing hidden energy is not much less than that of an arrow released from a bow. Only a green shadow flashes in front of the camera, and then ripples appear on the water surface. A black shadow can be vaguely seen falling into the depths.
"6666"
“This is a great move.”
"Dreher gave the anchor 6 airplanes as a reward..."
"I think I learned it from Master Xu on the island."
"Nonsense, is Yang Xu as powerful as the boss?"
"Boss, why don't you just go into the water and catch it? Wouldn't that be faster?"
"Laughing in sadness i rewarded the anchor with rocket x3..."
"Pingping is a germaphobe, so he's afraid of getting his fur wet, right?"
But at this moment, a green shadow appeared on the screen. It was the bush branch that the badger had just plunged into the water. However, there was nothing on it, and it was floating downstream with the current. The cheers that had been prepared in the live broadcast room suddenly turned into rows of periods and question marks.
Wang Ping stood on the shore, staring at his hairy paws in confusion.
"It went off the mark?"
Scratching his head, the badger didn't take it seriously. After all, there was a visual difference across the water, so it wasn't surprising that the hook went off the target. He just thought it was because he hadn't caught fish for a long time and his hands were a little unfamiliar.
He moved his claws slightly, pulled out another branch and aimed at the water surface, and when another fish paused, he quickly dived.
However, it was not known whether Wang Ping's skills had really deteriorated or the pool was too deep, leading to a miscalculation. In short, when he had thrown all the branches in his claws, no fish came to the surface.
The netizens in the live broadcast room understood that the badger probably saw others catching fish in this way and thought that he just had to throw a branch in the water. He didn't understand the refraction principle of the water surface, so it was normal that he couldn't catch any fish. It would be strange if he really caught one.
However, Wang Ping knew that this was not the case at all. He had made several minor adjustments, and even saw a branch pierce the fish once, but when the branch floated up, there was still no sign of the fish.
"Damn it, if I don't show my power, do you really think I'm here to play with you?"
A series of mistakes made the badger gradually angry, and he turned around and ran to break branches again. This time it was not the 20-centimeter-long shrub branch he had picked before. The badger dragged a branch longer than himself, sharpened the top with his claws, and continued to stare at the water with squinted eyes.
The water was much emptier at this moment, probably because the branches that kept sticking into the water scared away the fish. Wang Ping waited for a long time before he saw a small fish swimming by.
“Swish!”
The branch pierced forward in an instant, and paused when it was only halfway into the water. At this time, Wang Ping leaned over and grabbed the back half that remained outside, feeling the vibration of the branch with his mouth slightly curled up.
"I finally hit it this time! I told you, how could it be impossible that it didn't hit the target even once!"
While thinking about this, he pulled the branch back, but he always felt that the resistance was a little too great.
"Is it a big fish? It doesn't look like it..."
When the top of the branch gradually approached the water surface, the badger's expression froze, and the live broadcast room was in an uproar. The top of the branch where the fish should have been was now hung with a 30-centimeter-long creature. A section of the fish's tail could be seen sticking out of its flat duck-like mouth.
"What is this?"
"Did the boss catch the monster?"
“It looks like a platypus.”
"Longxi Xianren gave the anchor rocket x6..."
"It's so small, I thought the platypus was very big"
“So cute!”
"A big cow pig gave the anchor a super rocket x8..."
"Oh my god, please don't kill the eldest brother, otherwise Gu Lao San won't be able to return home."
Without being reminded, Wang Ping knew that he couldn't afford to offend this guy. This had nothing to do with his fighting ability, it was simply because he couldn't compete with his backers. However, at this time, it could be explained that no fish came up for several consecutive times, and it seemed that this guy had intercepted them underwater.
"How dare you steal my fish!"
Wang Ping lifted the branch and brought the platypus to the same level as himself, staring at it with an unhappy look on his furry face. At the same time, his eyes were rolling around, secretly planning something bad.
The most bizarre thing about the platypus is its appearance. It has seal-like fur, and although it is a mammal, it has a duck's beak and webbed feet. It has existed for hundreds of millions of years, and has neither become extinct nor evolved, making it the largest "salted fish" in the biological world.
Seeing the platypus trembling with its limbs and about to escape with its "trophy", a badger narrowed its eyes and stretched out its claws to pinch its flat mouth.
"I can't afford to offend the animal protection brother, but it's harmless to have some fun..."
He subconsciously picked it up and brought it closer. Before he could tell whether it was a male or a female, he felt a pain on his arm. A soft hairy leg was already on his shoulder, and then he felt the familiar feeling of being injected with venom.
“Wow~!”
The little furry claws loosened subconsciously, and the platypus fell into the water and quickly escaped. On the rocks on the shore, only Wang Ping was left standing there in a daze, with a look of confusion on his furry face, as if he had fallen into a blind spot in knowledge.
"The platypus is actually poisonous? But I was pinching its mouth just now. What did it use to inject the venom?"
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He sighed that this guy is indeed a freak in the history of evolution. The fangs actually grew on his legs. However, although he was "bitten", Wang Ping didn't think that the poison of this guy was that strong. For such a long time, there was no reaction at all.
Gu Laosan's voice came from behind, calling a badger to go back for dinner.
Looking at the calm water with some regret, there was no trace of a fish. Wang Ping responded and turned back, temporarily putting the matter of the platypus behind him.
Underwater, a pair of small eyes stared at the receding figure of a badger, then turned around and dived into a dark cave, disappearing without a trace.
