Lin Shuo usually speaks in a flat tone and not loudly.
And the phrase "Beware!" came out of his dantian, like a thunderbolt, and everyone was so terrified by his yelling.
Everyone panicked and looked at Lin Shuo who was standing by the river. They also saw the flashing white light on the river.
That white light passed across the chain bridge at an extremely fast speed. It was just at noon when the sun was fierce, and the thing reflected light all over its body. Most people couldn't see what it was.
However, the white light passed across the bridge and fell back into the water, but there was little movement, as if a stone fell into the water.
Liu Qing is not only an equipment expert in the mercenary team, but also an excellent sniper. Her eyesight is far better than ordinary people, and she shouted: "It's a fish!"
While talking, she put her hands in front of her, measuring the length of less than half a meter, and added: "It's so big."
Wei Xingshan took a look at Lin Shuo and felt that Lin Shuo was making a fuss out of a molehill.
He thought the thing in Lin Shuo's mouth was some big guy, but it turned out to be just a fish
That's right, the fish jumped quite high, leaping across the bridge deck of about ten meters, but it was just a fish.
Wei Xingshan gave a "hehe" dry laugh, and smoothed things over: "This is indeed a safety hazard. This fish is not too big, but it is not too small. If it hits you, it will not feel good."
That being said, the mercenaries down there quit:
"Oh, let me go, this morning has exhausted us, like grandchildren, just for a fish."
"Hey, I really have to wait until we cross the river. If this kind of fish bumps into it recklessly, we can catch it with a dagger, and we will have dinner."
"Mr. Lin sometimes misses the point."
"Okay, you guys. They are also considering our safety, stop talking nonsense and do your work."
Anne looked at the silent Lin Shuo, with doubts in her eyes. However, this beautiful woman had a quick mind. Looking at Lin Shuo's expression at the moment, she knew that things were far from that simple.
Lin Shuo ignored the crowd and stared at Jiang Mian.
One of his hands moved back slowly, touching the quiver behind him.
"Stand back, everyone." Seeing this, Anne reminded softly.
Before the words fell, another ray of white light flashed out of the water.
Immediately afterwards, one after another white lights rose rapidly from the surface of the river, passing parabolas in midair.
Some of this group of fish jumped lower and jumped under the bridge, and some jumped directly over the chain bridge.
There were also a few that were not so lucky, they hit the iron chain with a "bang", changed their flight trajectory, and struggled to fall back into the water.
These fish are not small, and more and more, jumping out of the water one after another.
Everyone thought it was fun at first, and it was a spectacle.
But it didn't take long, as more and more fish jumped out of the water, everyone's eyes began to be overwhelmed, and their expressions became more and more ugly.
One fish is really not scary, but with so many fish jumping out of the water, it is a little scary.
Whether it was a biologist or a mercenary present, they all thought of a question.
Why are these fish jumping out of the water
And they are still jumping so high, how amazing is their initial speed when they come out of the water
Behind them, is there something chasing after them
Lin Shuo's expression became more and more dignified. He stretched out his hand behind his back and slowly drew out a recurve bow arrow.
This kind of arrow is much thicker than ordinary arrows, as thick as someone's arm, nearly two meters long, in Lin Shuo's hand, it looks like a thicker javelin.
After a minute or two, the group of fish that jumped over the chain bridge seemed to pass through as a large force, and fewer and fewer fish jumped out of the water.
At this moment, there was a white light that was unusual, and as soon as it came out of the water, its trajectory was different from other schools of fish.
It took off from a horizontal position less than five meters away from the chain bridge, and threw it high, reaching a height of five or six meters far above the chain bridge, just above the chain bridge, and reached the top of the parabola.
Its spindle-shaped figure paused for less than half a second at this moment.
Only then did everyone see clearly that this fish was actually gray-blue.
Just when this big fish, which was more than half a meter long and seemed to weigh more than ten catties, stretched its body in mid-air and was about to fall back, there was a huge sound of water on the surface of the river, and a huge monster rushed out of the river!
It was a monster more than ten meters long!
It has a pointed beak and round head, a streamlined body in yellow and white, with sharp thorns on both sides of the body.
It was like an out-of-control truck, driving out of the water at high speed and hitting the highest jumping fish head-on.
The tail of the behemoth hit the chain bridge, causing the whole chain bridge to make a loud noise and shake violently from side to side.
It was too late and then too soon, the behemoth that had finished hunting had already crossed the bridge and fell back into the rushing river.
The huge water splashed onto the shore, and everyone dodged subconsciously, as if they were responding to Anne's reminder to get everyone back.
Wei Xingshan looked at the river that had gradually returned to calm, his face turned blue.
Others can't recover for a long time, no matter what, as long as the individual reaches that level, it is very scary.
Everyone can't help but think more and more afraid.
If Lin Shuo hadn't reminded him just now, let alone being hit or bitten by that thing, just letting such a big guy fly past would have scared people to death.
"Freshwater fish king." Lin Shuo had already inserted the arrow in his hand back into the quiver, and his expression relaxed, "It's the one that left the fishy smell on the bridge. It's not a big threat."
"This kind of fish is also called sturgeon." Yang Tuo adjusted his glasses and said, "The waters near Heilongjiang are the habitats of this kind of fish, and the largest sturgeon can weigh several tons.
The fish that jumped the bridge one after another just now are actually salmon, a cold-water anadromous fish that spawns and migrates, and it is also an important food for the sturgeon. "
The old man He Zihong nodded slightly, and then further explained:
"Every year when the autumn wind blows, large groups of salmon will return to the fresh water to lay eggs. The water area here is the narrowest in the vicinity, and there are a large number of hidden reefs in the river. When a large number of fish schools pass by here, the passing speed is forced Slow down, but behind them, there are natural enemies chasing after them.
These salmon can only jump out of the water to avoid predators. This is the spectacle of diving over the iron bridge just now.
What's even more rare is that sturgeon fish just now.
It is rare for a wild sturgeon to have such a large individual! "
"The person who built this chain bridge doesn't understand biology." Yang Tuo adjusted his glasses, shook his head and said, "Building a bridge here, and it's a chain bridge with extremely poor stability, is indeed too unsafe. No wonder no one dares to build a bridge here." Pass."
"Xiao Yang, you are thinking wrong." He Zihong said, "If it is because of the hunting behavior of this sturgeon that the safety of the bridge is endangered. Then just kill the sturgeon. Don't look at that sturgeon. Big, but how can it be a fisherman's opponent
You must know that wild beluga fish are almost extinct in Northeast China.
How could it be possible to abandon a ready-made bridge because of the threat of a fish? Isn't this a waste of food because of choking
So, paradoxically, why is there such a large sturgeon. Since it often appears here, people here, why don't they hunt it. "
Speaking of this, He Zihong looked at Lin Shuo and asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you think?"
"That's right." Liu Qing also asked, "Mr. Lin, why didn't you take action just now? This also counts as eliminating harm for the people?"
"This king freshwater fish is just hunting, and it didn't mess with us. Why should I make a move?" Lin Shuo glanced at her.
The starling bird on Lin Shuo's shoulder said: "This thing is not small, but it's a stick in a fight. Even if Brother Shuo falls into the water, we can only use 10% of our abilities, and it will take minutes to clean it up. Shuo Brother, this job is not too difficult, why don't you give them a 50% discount, let's forget about five million dollars?"
Mynah's words stunned everyone.
Anne's expression was stiff: "Baye, I think it's better to forget it. The funds of our research association are really limited."
"You are so stingy." Mynah Bird turned his head away.
Lin Shuo ignored the bird, but pointed to the iron chain bridge: "Now the danger has passed temporarily, everyone hurry up and cross the bridge. If Professor He has any questions, just ask the local people."
"What about these woods?" Wang Yong asked at this time, looking at the few red spruces with a distressed expression.
Not only Wang Yong, but other mercenaries who have worked hard are also a little bit reluctant, after all, it took a lot of effort to get them.
"Then you lay the bridge slowly, and I'll go over first." Lin Shuo dropped these words, jumped onto a wire rope with a light leap, and then walked forward slowly.
The iron chain was under his feet, and was pressed by him and the weight of the recurve bow on his back. Not only did it collapse straight, but it also made a "crackling" sound, as if it might break at any moment.
The iron chain was still intact, and Lin Shuo's figure disappeared into the forest on the other side.
