Ye An

The appearance of arapaima was really unexpected.

Ye An climbed up to the high place with the help of the rope hook, held the edge of the boulder with one hand, kicked hard with his feet, and used his strength to turn over and sit on the stone platform.

After sitting firmly, Ye An quickly put away the rope, wound it several times and hung it on his shoulder.

Under the boulder, the arapaima attacked again, targeting Ye An's wooden boat on the river.

After several collisions in a row, the river surface created monstrous waves. No matter how strong the hull was, it could not withstand such damage. It fluttered like fallen leaves on the water. Suddenly, the bow of the boat lifted, and the hull almost formed a [-]-degree right angle with the water surface.

Accompanied by the surging waves, the bottom of the boat slammed back to the surface of the water, and a large amount of water began to flood in.Amidst the creaking sound, the hull of the ship was torn apart and turned into pieces of wood, bouncing up and down with the waves, swaying from side to side.

The arapaima swam around the broken board, and then approached the boulder where Ye An was hiding, circling under the stone again and again.Looking down from the stone platform, Ye An could clearly see the steel knife-like scales on the fish's body, as well as the eye-catching bright red on the fish's tail.

"It's a little tricky."

Ye An stared at the giant fish in the water, constantly activating his abilities, trying to assimilate him.

The thinking of arapaima is very similar to that of crocodiles, but there are also differences.

Compared with the mutated crocodile, this giant fish has simpler thinking and more violent emotions.It aimed at Ye An, determined that he was a threat, and vowed not to stop until it tore him apart.

Where does this hostility come from?

Ye An frowned.

The other party didn't regard him as food, and wanted to kill him wholeheartedly, but it was not to fill his stomach, but more like protecting something, preparing to take precautions in advance and eliminate all possible threats.

"What are you protecting?"

Ye An muttered to himself, and continued to activate his abilities. The invisible will turned into dazzling rays of light, radiating from the stone platform, interweaving into a huge light net, and covering the targets in the water with precision.

Arapaima sensed that something was wrong, and still insisted on refusing to leave. Instead, it chose to fight head-on, and rushed forward desperately, using its hard skull to hit the boulder, trying to break the stone, forcing Ye An to go down into the water.

Its efforts are naturally impossible to succeed.

The hardness of the boulder is extraordinary, and it can be soaked in the flood for a long time without being washed away, which shows its firmness.

The arapaima worked hard again and again, but the boulder remained motionless.The optical net has been covered, covering its body, and tightened instantly.Strips of light wrapped around it, and the whole fish was glowing.

The arapaima struggled desperately, swung its tail vigorously, and tried to break free from the shackles on its body.

Ye An could clearly perceive Ju Yu's emotions at the moment, furious and fierce, as if he wanted to destroy everything.

Due to the struggle of the arapaima fish, one wave after another was set off in the river, and the river water was mixed with sand and became very turbid.

As the optical net became tighter and tighter, the strength of the arapaima was gradually exhausted.Ye An took the opportunity to assimilate deeply, and finally found the secret of this giant fish's berserk.

In the shallow water area near the river bank, there are tens of thousands of fish eggs hidden, all of which are descendants of this arapaima.

According to the habit of the arapaima, the female fish will leave after laying eggs, and the male fish will stay nearby until the eggs hatch and the small fish can forage alone, and then it will leave.

During this time, male arapaimas can become very ferocious and more aggressive than usual.

This ferocious mutated fish will attack any creature that comes near its eggs.Unfortunately, Ye An sent the mutant tiger here, and the place where the boat docked was too close to the fish eggs, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the arapaima.

When dissatisfaction escalated into anger, even if he was about to leave, Arapaima did not intend to let it go.

Ever since, there was the previous scene.

After figuring out the cause and effect of the incident, Ye An didn't feel relaxed. Looking at the shallow water area where the fish eggs were hidden, his eyebrows frowned even tighter.

In these waters, adult arapaimas have few natural predators.Allowing so many fish eggs to hatch and occupy the nearby river, the blow to the aquatic population is almost devastating.

How to do?

Just when he was thinking about it, racking his brains but couldn't think of a good solution, the giant fish in the water suddenly burst out with astonishing energy.

Ignoring the light net wrapped around its body, the arapaima turned around and swam quickly towards the area where the eggs were.

Finding that something was wrong, Ye An concentrated his attention and followed the movement of the giant fish.

As soon as the arapaima stopped, a large piece of dark brown spread across the water surface in the distance, as if the paint dripped into the water, it swelled up and down with the current and spread rapidly.

That is to kill the fish in the pond, and the swarms are coming!

As if facing a formidable enemy, the arapaima stood in the water desperately, trying to prevent this group of water leeches from getting close to the eggs.

However, there are too many water larvae, and the arapaima can't protect all the eggs even if it tries its best.

Water squirrels passed through the defense one after another, like bullets shot through the water quickly, pulling out white water lines, passing over the adult giant fish, and rushing towards the defenseless fish eggs.

Some small, formed fish curl up in the eggs and hatch in a day or two.It's a pity that they have no chance when they encounter ferocious water turtles.

The attack of the water squid was rapid and violent, and the arapaima was unable to support it alone. In the end, it only protected a small piece of fish eggs, and the rest were swallowed.

There are no more than a hundred fish eggs left, and even if they can hatch successfully, more than 90.00% of them cannot survive until they leave the protection of the male fish and face the threats in the water alone.

Although the arapaima is ferocious, it takes a long time for it to grow from a juvenile to an adult.During this period, the most common mutated fish will be their threat.

Witnessing this battle in the water, Ye An withdrew his will, and the light net on the arapaima disappeared.

The water gills harvested two big meals and sank into the water contentedly.

Before becoming dragonflies, they will continue to live in groups, hunting together and defending against predators together.

Even though they are so fierce in the water, they also have no power to parry when encountering natural enemies.

Small birds that live in arenas that emerge every three to five days.Water squirrels are very popular prey for birds. Even if they resist with all their strength, they will always lose a large number of people.

Ye An sat on the stone platform, with the afterglow of the setting sun covering his whole body.

He turned his head, and the fiery red sun was slowly sinking.

The red light is reflected on the water, and different colors float in the sparkling water.

The evening wind blows head-on, carrying the heat that never existed in the rainy season.Familiar chirping came from the sky in the distance, Ye An looked around and saw a flock of late returning birds.

The bird also spotted Ye An and flew towards him with flapping wings.

The wooden boat was torn apart, and Ye An was having a headache as to how to return to the isolated island. The arrival of the bird just solved his urgent need.

Ye An supported himself with one hand, and stood up neatly, facing the evening wind and the flock of birds flying with it.

The birds flew around Ye An, and two of them landed on his shoulders, making crisp and sweet calls.Ye An nodded the bird's head, chuckled, and let the birds lift him up and fly across the river reflected by the setting sun.

The river flows, calm and slow.

The scenes that happened before were completely submerged under the water waves.

The arapaima guarded the remaining eggs and did not dare to leave for a moment; the water grebe was afraid of the flock of birds and quickly hid under the water.

Ye An withdrew his gaze, suddenly feeling a little emotional, the mysterious power of nature can never be grasped.

Only by revering nature and life, and completely integrating ourselves into it, can we survive in this crisis-ridden world.

He even had a guess, what was the cause of that devastating disaster?

Thinking of some possibility, Ye An sighed and shook his head slightly.

"I don't want to, go home!"

The past is gone, people should live in the present.

Since he came to this world, he must adapt to this world and lead those who trust him to live a better life. This is what he should think and do.
