Life had now left its body, and the soul soon floated out of the massive body, stared at me, and then disappeared into the ground.

I stood up a little helplessly, and tried my best to capture this big guy alive and bring it back, but now it is inexplicably going crazy, and then it died inexplicably, not only is the "key" to my entry into the game gone, but the most important thing is that this guy is not killed by me in the strict sense! I didn't even understand how this behemoth died.

The people in the back were still a little scared, obviously not sure if the bacus was really dead, until I beckoned, and the group walked up quickly.

"Turn it over and let me see what the hell killed this big guy." I opened my mouth to speak, and several people worked together to turn over this big monster more than ten meters long, and I squatted down to examine it carefully, and then finally found the problem. There was a very obvious wound in the abdomen of the mackerel near the bottom, this wound looked like a hole, and the length of such a large wound was close to three meters, which could definitely threaten the life of this behemoth.

"What's going on?" The person next to him asked similarly after squatting down.

I shook my head, this wound obviously couldn't have been made by that group of experts and professors, their research was not over yet, and they would not kill this monster. It couldn't have been caused by us, could it have been scratched when we fell into the well? Or maybe you're being attacked by some other terrifying monster?

The more I opened it, the more strange I felt, and then a young man next to me said strangely, "This wound looks like it has been torn open from the inside." ”

This sentence suddenly reminded me, and I hurriedly got up and ran to the edge of the sink, looked down and finally the truth was revealed!

There was still something sparkling in the sink, shining like gold. Before, all I saw was light, because it was blocked by the huge body of the bare, but now I finally saw the true face of these luminous objects, which were all bead-shaped, about dozens of them condensed together, and swayed slightly in the water. None of the monomers are small, about ten centimeters in diameter, and when these dozens are glued together, they look several meters long and wide.

"This is ......," a few people gathered around, "fish roe, right?" ”

They were right, this is the roe, the baby born from the fish! Usually we can see it when we buy fish and kill fish, and there are often hundreds or thousands of them connected together. Each one is bead-shaped, and each one has the potential to grow into healthy fry.

But what I didn't expect was that the mackerel actually laid eggs here!

"I wanted to tell you this before, when you were fighting with Deputy Director Xia's people in the front, I hid behind and heard the wailing of the bakull, so I had the courage to go up and check it, and saw blood flowing out of its lower abdomen, which seemed to be very painful. I knew a little bit about it, so I could see that it might be going to spawn. Yang Ran stepped forward and said, in fact, it was not only her, I recalled the scientific expert who was found dying in the carriage at that time, he took my hand and said the word "belly" several times, at that time I thought it was because his abdomen was uncomfortable and too painful so he kept repeating the word, but now it seems that he is actually talking about the belly of the ba.

He may have found out about Babone's pregnancy, but he couldn't tell me anymore, so he didn't mention it in his last breath and died.

At the same time, I must have thought that I wanted to hurt its children, this monster has a strong sense of protection for its children, and after I attacked it, it retreated, in fact, it wanted to protect the fish eggs it laid. But when I got closer, I spotted the glowing eggs, and it sensed my threat, so it attacked me desperately.

In Wang Bing's research data, it is pointed out that the female mackerel will only lay eggs once in her life, in other words, all the fish eggs here are her only children in her life, and she naturally cherishes them very much. And when spawning, a hole will be opened in the abdomen of the mackerel, and the eggs will flow out of this opening. The wound can threaten the life of the mackerel, so at this time the adult male will step forward and take on the role of guard, and the responsibility of hunting and caring for the children will fall on the female during the time when the bael lays eggs. It usually takes five to ten days for a female mackerel to recover, which is a very long time for an ancient demon clan, and it can also be seen how serious the spawning is for the female mackerel.

"These eggs have to be brought back." The people around me looked at me, and I continued, "We've lost our adult mackerel, but the wandering nature of mackerel won't disappear easily, in other words, as long as we can raise these little guys, they can also help us find the ancient mackerel clan's shelter, and also help us find the location of the ancient demon mountain." ”

My inference is based on Wang Bing's research data, and although it is not guaranteed to be 100% correct, it is worth trying.

When everyone heard this, they originally thought that the mackerel was dead and the mission would definitely fail and they were a little discouraged, but at this time, they were in good spirits! I immediately started to find a way to get the eggs out, but I stopped them as soon as I was about to get started. The young man who was stopped looked at me strangely, and I said, "If you do it like this, the fish eggs will definitely break." The eggs that have just been laid by the mackerel are very fragile, and the membrane on the surface is similar to the coat on the outside of the egg, and it will shatter if it moves a little bit. If this membrane is broken, the baby fish inside will also die. ”

"What then?" Several people hurriedly asked.

After I thought about it, I suddenly pinched a trick, and walked the water in a hurry, and lightly touched the water surface with my finger, and the water surface immediately began to freeze, only to hear the sound of "Zizi", and after a while, the groundwater in the entire tank was frozen into ice, and I raised my hand and said: "You dig out this piece of ice, and then take it out, it should be safe." ”

After a few people heard this, I stepped aside and asked one of the young men for a cigarette, lit it, and squatted on the side to smoke. Yang Ran kept looking at the corpse of the bacupine on the ground and didn't say a word, and after I saw it, I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

When she heard my voice, she turned around, looking a little lonely and sad, and whispered, "I was thinking, animals sometimes know more about family affection than we humans. ”

"Hehe, you were moved to see it sacrifice its life to protect its children?" I asked, smoking a cigarette. Yang Ran nodded, obviously I was on my mind.

"Monsters have intelligence, but don't take them too seriously. I've seen a lot of monsters devour their own children in the past, and that's not necessarily true of the old saying that tigers don't eat their children. The demon clan often devours their own children, especially the demon beasts with low intelligence. Half of this mackerel's desperate efforts to protect his child are instinctive, and the other half is out of consideration for the community. The living space of the ancient demon clan is not large, and the group is not as huge as in the past ancient times, and a group of children who can survive means the continuation of this race. Of course, you girls are right to see this as family affection. "After so many years of dealing with the demon clan, I have seen things very thoroughly. A few years ago, I also met a wolf mother who ate a litter of newly born wolf cubs, ordinary people think this is incredible, in fact, it is normal, the ecosystem is the strong, and the same is true between children and parents.

When I was smoking, they had already chiseled the ice, and several people carried the ice out, and when I stood up, I heard Yang Ran say, "Shall we bury it?" ”

"I'll collapse the hole and the well after a while, and let it sleep here."

Out of the well, I turned around and heard a loud "boom", the well collapsed, blocking the hole and the underground river below, and I looked back to see the commander carefully preserving the ice that was frozen with fish eggs.

"Get in the car, we should go back." I got in the car and shouted at Yang Ran.

The car started, I looked out the window against the wind, and there was a glimmer of light in my eyes, and this time, I finally had the "key" to enter the game.
