The flesh is crisp and sweet.

Wandering in the mountains, I picked a pear at random, took a bite, and my mouth was filled with the fragrance of pear and rose...

Lin Dong and his three men drove along, picking and eating wild fruits as they went.

By the time we reached the western part of the basin, our stomachs were full of water and fruit.

.................................................

At the westernmost part of the basin, the mountains are quite high, and the primeval forests here are even more lush.

A crystal-clear waterfall cascades down the mountain.

The water roared as it crashed against the foot of the mountain.

Beneath the waterfall lies a wide, deep pool, its water crystal clear, resembling a giant emerald.

On the east side of the deep pool, there is a gap, and the water overflows and flows eastward, gradually forming the largest river in the basin.

Several high mountains surround the waterfall.

More than ten mountain streams of varying sizes rush down from the mountain, eventually converging into the pool...

The pool is very deep, estimated to be at least thirty or forty meters deep.

On the turquoise bottom of the pool, countless black-backed, snow-spotted bass can be vaguely seen swimming slowly.

Lin Dong immediately recognized the fish as spotted bass, a type of wild bass favored by expert anglers.

It is said that spotted bass have very high requirements for water quality, so they usually only appear in clear streams or mountain pools.

Since it is still daytime, the spotted bass will habitually hide in piles of rocks or aquatic plants, lounging around lazily.

They only become active after nightfall, darting into the water and swimming around...

Experienced lure anglers who have caught this type of fish know that it tastes delicious.

Whether steamed or braised, the meat is sweet and delicious...

After standing by the pool for a while, Lin Dong suddenly felt a bit hungry.

I've eaten too much fruit, and right now I really want some meat.

Sigh... If only Fan Gui were here.

If he were here, Lin Dong would definitely say to him right now:

"Old Fan, I want to eat fish!"
