After being reborn as the Dragon King, I made a fortune on seafood

The platypus that Lu Ao and the others met was very cunning.

Xiao Liu and the old cat searched back and forth in the reed marsh for several times, but they did not find any trace of the platypus.

The two had no choice but to turn back to Lu Ao for help.

"Brother Lu, I can't find it."

"I can't see it at all, isn't the platypus not here anymore?"

Lu Ao was originally following them, but when he heard this, he came over to check, Xiao Liu and Lao Mao hurriedly gave way.

In front of them was a river with a width of six to seven meters and a depth of two to three meters.

The environment in Qianyong City is not bad. The river is relatively clear. People standing on the bank can vaguely see the silt at the bottom of the river.

Seeing Lu Ao staring at the river, Xiao Liu also stretched her neck to stare at the river. After staring for a long time, she found nothing.

She looked at Lu Ao, but Lu Ao didn't speak, and squatted down to check the mud on the shore.

Seeing his movement, Xiao Liu immediately understood his train of thought and asked, "Are you looking for its footprints now?"

"Ah."

Xiao Liu looked at the river in front of him, and then at Lu Ao.

She understood the meaning of looking for footprints.

When they were just looking for it, they also took a special look at the footprints. The problem was that they had been searching for so long, but they couldn't find any traces. They didn't know how Lu Ao knew that the platypus was here and could find the footprints.

While they were looking, there was a sound behind them.

Several people turned their heads and saw that Xiang Xingchang was rushing with several people.

When he saw them, Xiang Xingchang lowered his voice and asked, "How is it? Did you find it?"

Xiaoliu shrugged.

Disappointment flashed across Xiang Xingchang's face.

Lu Ao nodded to them and continued walking along the river bank.

The river is relatively wet, and there is a layer of silt at the junction of the river and the river bank.

Lu Ao walked up the river, looking for it as he walked.

Xiang Xingchang leaned over, "Is the platypus really here?"

"I don't know." Lu Ao said, "I feel like it's near here."

"Hiss, that's really a bit confusing."

Lu Ao turned to look at him, "Are you leading the team downstream?"

Xiang Xingchang rubbed his nose, "Wait a minute, see if you can find it."

Lu Ao stopped talking.

Xiang Xingchang and his people followed obediently.

About 13 minutes later, Lu Ao stopped on the bank of a river.

Everyone looked at him with puzzled faces.

Lu Ao went to the river and squatted down to look at the mud by the river.

Everyone hurriedly gathered together, squeezing their heads above Lu Ao.

Soon, the sharp-eyed Xiaoliu found half a shallow duck paw print beside the mud, couldn't help pointing, and blurted out, "Is that the footprint of a platypus?"

"where?"

"Oh, it's true!"

"It's too hidden, it's just half of it, who can find it?"

"Let me see, where is it?"

Xiang Xingchang was also in the crowd. After checking for a long time, he was still not sure, "This is really the footprint of a platypus."

Lu Ao spoke in front, "Nine out of ten."

As he said that, he stood up, and the people around quickly retracted their heads.

Xiang Xingchang asked: "What should we do now? Notify the people at the zoo? We are not familiar with the habits of the platypus."

"Anything is fine." Lu Ao stood up, but walked into the reeds.

"Brother Lu, don't you need to keep looking up?"

"No, it should be here."

"How do you know?" Someone asked, "Did you find any clues?"

"Have."

As soon as he said this, everyone was confused.

"Why didn't I find anything?"

Seeing that they really didn't understand, Lu Ao walked towards the river again, motioning them to look over, "The footprints of this platypus are horizontal."

"Ah? So what?"

Lu Ao patiently explained, "It means that it is walking in this direction. This footprint, this footprint, and this footprint are all horizontal, its trajectory is obvious, and its purpose is also very clear. Most of its nests are here."

He didn't say anything, but everyone didn't realize that the messy traces were platypus footprints.

After he said it, the more people looked at it, the more they felt like it.

Everyone suddenly realized.

Xiang Xingchang checked carefully, "Hey, it really is."

Lu Ao looked up at the crowd, and said to a middle-aged man in the crowd, "Don't make a video."

Wu Anzhi raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and explained sheepishly, "I just think your reasoning is so brilliant."

Lu Ao shook his head and said nothing.

Xiang Xingchang and the others stopped looking for clues and followed Lu Ao's ass.

Lu Ao followed the tiny footprints of the platypus to search nearby, and soon found a big hole in the river bank.

The front of the big hole is covered by green grass, so I can't see clearly.

There are many holes like this along the river, and everyone is not surprised. They didn't think much about seeing such holes before.

Seeing Lu Ao staying at the entrance of a certain cave now, Xiang Xingchang asked: "Is the platypus here?"

Lu Ao felt that there was indeed some kind of animal inside, not a crab, but he was not sure if it was a platypus.

He said, "Do you have a hoe? Dig it up first."

Wu Anzhi volunteered, "I have it in my car."

"I also have it in my car." Another team member also stood up, but instead of going back to get it, he pointed at the opening of the hole and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this the blue crab hole?"

They produce blue crabs here, and blue crabs live in holes by the river.

The holes dug by blue crabs are very large. Some blue crabs can dig out enough holes for half a person to lie in. Seeing a big hole doesn't mean anything.

Lu Ao said, "It's not a blue crab."

The man said: "I don't see any platypus footprints near the entrance of the cave. Even if it's not a blue crab, it's not necessarily a platypus."

Xiang Xingchang interjected, "Not necessarily, but it's still possible. First get the hoe and dig it out."

Xiang Xingchang had a lot of prestige in the team, he opened his mouth to smooth things over, and the team members didn't want to lose face, so he put away his doubts and planned to go get the hoe.

The location where they parked is some distance from here, and it will take a while to get the hoe.

The rest stood in front of the hole and looked at each other.

A member of the team said, "Are we just waiting?"

Xiang Xingchang turned to look at him, "Otherwise?"

"Dig out first to see if there is anything inside." The team member made a digging gesture, "Even if this is really a platypus' lair, it may not be inside, let's check first?"

Lu Ao reminded, "The platypus is poisonous."

The team member forgot for a moment, "Huh?"

Xiang Xingchang smiled and said, "Okay, don't think about it, the last person who was stabbed is still living in the hospital."

The platypus' venom isn't fatal to humans, it's just that the sting can be very painful.

Some people will be in pain for a week to January, even if they go to the hospital, there is no good way.

As soon as Xiang Xingchang said this, everyone stopped thinking about reaching out.

Such a big platypus, if it was stabbed, it would not be fun.

Everyone stood in front of the cave and chatted.

More than ten minutes later, Wu Anzhi and the others came back panting with a hoe.

Wu Anzhi handed the hoe to Lu Ao, "Here, Brother Lu, how do we dig this hole?"

"Dig to the side."

Lu Ao went to the entrance of the cave with a hoe in his hand, checked the direction, and put down the hoe.

The soil was like tofu under his hoe, and a large piece was peeled off by him in a short time.

Xiang Xingchang took another hoe and was about to come over to help, but found that there was no place to step on it.

Lu Ao moved too quickly, digging the mud a few times before he hit the head.

Xiang Xingchang watched from the side, and suddenly found a touch of gray in the soil.

He pointed and raised his voice, "There!"

Everyone's eyes instantly turned to the direction he pointed, and soon found that there was indeed a gray shadow there.

Before everyone could react further, the gray figure jumped out in shock.

"Hey!"

Someone screamed.

The nearby people subconsciously hid aside, but their eyes fell on the ground.

The figure on the ground is long and has an enlarged duckbill on its face.

As soon as they saw the duckbill, everyone immediately realized that it was a platypus.

Some people surrounded the front, while others retreated.

For a moment, the scene was in a panic.

Xiang Xingchang shouted from the side, "Be careful! Hold it down!"

Before he finished speaking, the others were still doing their own actions and didn't react.

Lu Ao had already stepped forward, shot like lightning, and picked up the platypus directly.

Everyone didn't see his movements clearly at all, their eyes blurred, and the platypus was already writhing in his hands.

"Is this caught?"

Lu Ao said: "Contact the people in the zoo."

Xiang Xingchang hurriedly said, "I'll contact you now."

He said, and went to the side to make a phone call.

The people around couldn't help but gather around to watch.

There are no platypus in China, and not everyone has the opportunity to see platypus up close.

Seeing that they were getting too close, Lu Ao changed the direction of the platypus and reminded, "Be careful, it's poisonous."

The platypus trembled in his hand.

Lu Ao simply squatted down, put the platypus on the ground, and only controlled its movements with his hands.

The others also squatted down.

The old cat asked: "Brother Lu, how do you know the platypus is in the cave?"

"It has the habit of hibernating."

Everyone suddenly realized.

The old cat said: "No wonder you are so sure."

Xiang Xingchang called back, "People from the zoo won't be here for a while, let's find something to lock up the platypus, and find a way to eat it first."

All eyes fell to the ground.

This platypus is about fifty or sixty centimeters long, with a big duckbill on its face, and its butt is somewhat similar to a duck's butt, both big and flat.

For such a big guy, it definitely won't work in a bucket.

None of them had an iron cage in the trunk.

Everyone was in trouble for a while.

The old cat had an idea, "Can you tie it up?"

"Ok?"

The old cat hurriedly said: "I have a dog collar and a dog leash in my car, why don't you put a collar on it, tie it up, and control it manually."

Lu Ao expressed his affirmation, "This method is feasible."

The old cat hurried to get the collar and rope.

Lu Ao put a collar on the platypus himself and tied a rope.

The platypus was so obedient under his hands that he dared not move.

Others only thought that the platypus was hibernating and lacked vitality, which was not surprising at all.

Everyone first backfilled the hole just dug, and then boarded the car separately, planning to find a restaurant for dinner first, and meet the people from the zoo by the way.

Lu Ao got into Xiang Xingchang's car, and he controlled the platypus to sit in the back.

The platypus is poisonous, and he was the only one sitting in the back seat. Xiao Liu hesitated and wanted to come to the passenger seat. .

Wu Anzhi got into the passenger seat before her, so Xiao Liu had no choice but to turn around and get into Lao Mao's car.

Xiang Xingchang got into the car and was about to drive, he smiled when he saw this, "Old Wu, what are you doing?"

"I have something to tell Little Brother Lu." Wu Anzhi turned to look at Lu Ao, "Little Brother Lu, I have a reality show job here, do you want to take it?"

Lu Ao's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of Lin Qiyan, "What's the nature?"

Wu Anzhi saw that there was something going on, and quickly said: "This is a public welfare reality show, attended by celebrities and amateurs. The theme is to call attention to the ocean and the environment. They will also conduct a donation event in the later stage to make this reality show of the revenue goes to ocean conservation."

Lu Ao listened patiently, and asked, "Why do you want to find me?"

Wu Anzhi blurted out, "You have a great reputation."
