Chapter 23 One week

After the autumn rain, the temperature begins to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mao Bai climbed up his favorite ancient pine branch again, as a cool breeze blew by.

The pine branches swayed, and under the warm sunlight, Mao Bai's pure white body without a single hair exuded a faint white light.

A week has passed, and with sufficient food supply, the size of Gu Qingshan's little crocodile finally exceeded the centimeter unit, and its current body length is 102 centimeters.

In the crocodile race, this size can barely be called a crocodile. As for before?

Sorry, that's a crocodile baby, not a crocodile.

But the giant black catfish didn't leave.

High-energy foods that have been systematically refined are quite awesome.

Even if more than 90% of the food is eaten by the giant black catfish, the remaining 10% of the food is enough to maintain Gu Changqing's efficient growth.

The only trouble is that Gu Qingshan's fishing frequency has changed from once every seven or eight days to once a day, three times in two days, or even three times a day.

This left Mao Bai speechless. What if peaceful development is Gu Qingshan's strategy?

I have to say that I am a little disappointed.

Of course, this method is also very good.

The giant black catfish eats ordinary fish, but Gu Qingshan eats food containing high energy. This means that with unlimited food, Gu Qingshan will grow faster than the giant black catfish.

.

I can’t say that I’m a coward, I can only say that I look at the problem differently.

Mr. Lu Xun once said - Become a grandson first and then a master.

As a black caiman that can grow up to four meters long, Gu Qingshan doesn't have to fight to the death with a black catfish, he just needs to grow his size.

Not to mention reaching four meters, as long as it reaches the same size as the giant black catfish, the opponent will definitely leave.

After all, in this cruel nature, injury is a very fatal thing, which will affect hunting, lead to less food, and eventually lose the ability to survive here.

Therefore, whether or not they can survive is often the first lesson that wild animals need to learn.

Moreover, given the same size, a catfish also attempts to defeat a crocodile?

Stop making trouble, you may not be able to break the crocodile's armor even if you bite it.

But the question is, will Gu Qingshan really let the giant black catfish exploit the fruits of his labor without restraint?

Next to the fish pond, on top of two mounds.

Covered in jet black scales, his teeth are sharp, and under his thick limbs, strong claws pierce the soil. On his ferocious face, a pair of insidious and cunning vertical pupils stare indifferently at the junction of the shallow water area and the deep water area.

A huge black shadow everywhere.

The giant black catfish is bigger than it was a week ago.

But this kind of bigness is only an increase in volume, not in body shape.

Gu Qingshan still remembers the first time he saw a giant black catfish.

At that time, the black catfish was guarding a rotting corpse. The strong stench attracted a large number of scavengers, but no scavengers dared to approach.

The giant black catfish at that time protected the carrion like a baby.

Gu Qingshan was almost killed by the opponent just because he got close, which shows how terrifying the opponent was at that time.

The second time we met was at the end of the autumn rain a week ago.

The moment the two-meter-long golden-red carp jumped up from the bottom of the water, the perfect combination of strength and wildness made Gu Qingshan realize that this was an extremely powerful opponent, and he even regarded the opponent as a formidable enemy.

But this big carp was miserable. Within two minutes of its appearance, it was killed by a giant black catfish with a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind it.

So when playing with unlimited firepower, be sure not to be the first to rush in, because you will die in a very rhythmic manner. The big golden-red carp is a living example.

It was also from that day on that Gu Changqing could see this giant black catfish every day.

He saw a lot of fish being killed by this black catfish, including carps that were half a meter long, crocodile gar that were over one meter long, and even a crocodile that was one and a half meters long that was killed by this giant black catfish.

The huge body wandered in the water, with an expressionless expression like the face of a corpse.

The huge mouth is inlaid with jagged sharp teeth.

It is no exaggeration to say that even iron bars can be bitten, and the huge body that is completely black and surrounded by dark silver spots gives people a strong sense of oppression.

After observing the giant black catfish for a week, Gu Qingshan realized that this was a nearly invincible monster.

Not to mention Gu Qingshan, whose body length just exceeded 100 centimeters, the crocodile, which was already one and a half meters long, was bitten to death by a black catfish, and the death was particularly miserable.

He bit the crocodile in one bite, and the terrifying head shook back and forth. Amidst the painful howl, the one and a half meter crocodile was literally thrown into a puddle of mud.

The blood spurting from the nostrils made Gu Qingshan wonder if all the crocodile's brains had been thrown out?

But facing the giant black catfish, is Gu Qingshan really helpless?

No, he has a way, but it will take time.

Those who cook frequently should know that the biggest difference between wild fish and farmed fish is not actually the taste, because most fish are quite pampered creatures.

Oxygen content, water quality, and even daily feed.

Problems in any aspect of the breeding process will lead to the death of a large number of fish.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, a fish that is qualified can be sent to the market for sale.

The taste is actually similar to the wild one, or even better.

And the fish that some people feel uncomfortable eating are often not farmed fish, but wild fish that the boss received from the fishing friend without knowing it, and then sold directly on the market.

This fish tastes bad and is not safe to eat.

The most typical example is hairy crabs.

In the golden autumn of October, go to the river to touch a pound of wild hairy crabs, and then buy a pound of cultured hairy crabs from the market.

When two kinds of crabs are mixed together and steamed, most people cannot tell which one is farmed and which one is wild. Many people even think that the farmed crab tastes better.

Because the cultured hairy crab paste is fat and strong, it is many times more fragrant than the hungry wild hairy crabs.

In fact, there is only one biggest difference between wild and farmed animals, and that is vitality.

The same hairy crab will die in ten seconds after being pierced through the heart, but the wild crab can struggle for at least fifteen seconds.

Compared to a week ago, the size of the giant black catfish has indeed become much larger.

It feels more powerful and majestic than before, but in fact, the black catfish only looks strong. The bulk of it is not muscle, but fat accumulated in the body from excess heat.

Sufficient and easily accessible food, a strong appetite stimulated by drugs, and a small space where movement is not easy are the keys to fattening and fattening.

In just one week, the giant black catfish expanded like a fermented steamed bun at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fish skin, which was originally very tough, is now bulging, as if it is about to be stretched open.

However, as time went by, the giant black catfish was not aware of the strange little crocodile on the shore. The look in its eyes that looked at it gradually changed from the anxious and solemn look at it to expectation and satisfaction.

The expression was like that of a pig farm owner, looking at the boars feasting in the pig pen, with a happy smile on his face involuntarily.

In the evening, Gu Qingshan slowly climbed back to the crocodile nest as usual.

Because there have been a lot of things going on recently, the crocodile nest that was originally planned to be completed this week has been delayed until now and only two-thirds of it has been completed.

In front of the cave entrance, a white cat without any stray hair looked at the returning Gu Qingshan.

After some thought, Mao Bai's eyes flashed with seriousness:

"Meow~"

Let me help you kill that guy, this won't work.

Damn it, it does work, but it also takes time.

Before the appearance of the giant black catfish, Gu Qingshan could eat for many days by setting a trap once. However, with the appearance of the giant black catfish, the number of times Gu Qingshan set traps per day has changed from once every seven or eight days to once a day.

Today was even more extreme. Gu Qingshan threw the bait three times.

On the one hand, it's because there are fewer fish around. After all, these fish are not fools. Now that they know there is a monster guarding here, they will definitely not approach it as crazy as they did at the beginning.

On the other hand, as Gu Qingshan's size grows, he will need more and more food. However, most of the food is eaten by the giant black catfish underwater. Gu Qingshan can really eat a lot.

few.

As Gu Qingshan gets bigger and bigger, his demand for food will inevitably increase.

But the most important thing is that the recent Gu Qingshan does not look like he is preparing for a big fight.

The fish pond is no longer repaired, and the crocodile nest has not been completed yet. Instead, a bunch of useless reeds have been transported back to the reed bush not far away.

What can this thing do?

It was precisely because of this situation that Mao Bai brought up this topic again.

Just looking at Mao Bai's serious look, Gu Qingshan's ferocious face showed a trace of puzzled surprise: "Don't you see that that guy is about to die?"

Mao Bai was stunned. She tilted her head and looked at Gu Qingshan with a confused expression:
Chapter completed!
