"Xiao Liu, are you telling the truth? Are there strange fish in this river?"
A man who looked like an expert, around fifty years old, was asking a question to a young man.
Upon hearing this, the young man, Xiao Liu, nodded quickly and said with a look of surprise:
"Professor Zhao, I guarantee that there are indeed strange fish in this river."
When I came back from my holiday a few days ago, I happened to see that the fish had grown sharp spines on its forehead.
In all my years of studying biology, I've never seen anything like this.
It's a pity I only caught a glimpse of it before the fish swam away, and I didn't have time to take a picture..."
Professor Zhao nodded and said, "Then let me ask you, you've lived here for so many years, have you ever heard people say that this place is called..."
"Professor Zhao, this river is called the Huilong River!"
Xiao Liu reminded him, and then added:
“Professor, this is what I find strange. I’ve never heard of any strange fish in this place before. I even asked my grandparents, and they’ve never heard of it either.”
Professor Zhao nodded and said:
"Hopefully we can find the strange fish you mentioned this time. If it's real, it will be of great research value."
Whether it's a sudden mutation in the fish or a strange fish that came here from somewhere else...
Hey, Liu, did you see that just now? Was there some large aquatic creature swimming past the bottom of the river?
"Uh, Professor, I'm sorry, I didn't notice!"
Xiao Liu answered somewhat embarrassedly.
Professor Zhao didn't pay any attention, his eyes carefully searching the river, and then a look of shock appeared on his face.
at the same time.
Xiao Liu, who was standing next to him, also showed a surprised expression. Fortunately, he was young and quick and immediately took a video to record it.
After a moment, the two looked at each other and then took a deep breath.
Professor Zhao spoke first, saying:
"Xiao Liu, quickly show me the footage you just recorded. If my eyes weren't playing tricks on me, I should have seen a large river turtle."
The Longhe River isn't that big, but this river turtle is probably over a hundred years old, and there are even some bumps on its shell..."
"Professor, I feel that the turtle shell that just appeared didn't have any attached material, but that's how it naturally looks. Look here."
Xiao Liu quickly showed the footage from the camera and made his deductions.
Professor Zhao looked at it carefully for a while, his face showing great surprise, and said:
"Xiao Liu, you're right. The spikes on this river turtle's shell must have grown on its own."
I have never seen this type of tortoise shell before, so...
The river turtle that just swam across the water is very likely a newly recorded species. We're so lucky this time!
Just then, Xiao Liu suddenly exclaimed in surprise:
"Professor, Professor Zhao! I think I just saw that strange fish again. It had sharp spines on its head, and its scales were like metal. It was so beautiful, my goodness!"
"Where is it? Where is it?"
Professor Zhao snapped out of his daze and quickly turned to look.
Fortunately, he also saw the strange fish that Xiao Liu had mentioned, and immediately started filming again. They waited until the strange fish disappeared into the deep water before taking a deep breath.
After discovering the strange turtle and the strange fish, both Professor Zhao and Xiao Liu were extremely excited.
Both of them knew that discovering the existence of a new species would be truly incredible.
Judging from the footage just recorded, it seems they really did discover a new species, and they found two at once.
...
Mr. Xu didn't actually know immediately that the strange turtle and fish in the Huilong River had been discovered.
Fortunately, he had made a 'promise' with the little girl next door, so one morning when he came to the courtyard, the little girl Hong'er told him about it.
"Uncle, there are a lot more people in the village lately. I heard it's because there are strange fish and turtles in the river in front of us."
They wanted to fish out all those strange fish and turtles... um... right, they said they'd fish them out for research, and they'd already caught several..."
The little girl's language skills are somewhat lacking; she repeats the same things over and over again.
But Xu Lu already understood what was going on.
Clearly, it was the aquatic creatures he had modified that attracted the attention of others, and not just ordinary people, but researchers.
Upon seeing this new species, these people naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to study it, and the rest is history.
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it. My 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm' isn't high enough level yet, and my personal space simply can't hold so many modified creatures."
To upgrade the 'Beast Taming Mastery' skill, you need to use it more to passively gain experience points, so there's no solution..."
Xu Lu thought to himself.
But once you discover strange fish or turtles, that's all that matters.
Anyway, even if we take it for research, we probably won't find anything of interest.
Another point is...
Even if it causes a big commotion, no one will associate it with Xu Lu.
No one could have imagined that the strange creatures in this stretch of water, which is several miles long, were all created by our CEO Xu alone.
"Moreover, modifying organisms is ultimately just modifying evolution; it simply means that the body has mutated from the original one, so they can be discovered by people."
The animals I 'enlightened' in those mountains and forests have all developed considerable intelligence; calling them demonic beasts wouldn't be an exaggeration.
They should be very difficult to spot... well, except for this little guy!
The little guy Xu Lu was talking about was actually the first little mountain mouse he had enlightened, or what could now be called a golden-haired treasure-hunting mouse.
Xu Lu had enlightened more than ten animals in the mountains and forests, and the rest stayed obediently in the mountains and forests.
Only this golden-haired treasure-hunting mouse found the courtyard on the morning of the second day and brought Xu Lu some wild ginseng.
Based on Mr. Xu's limited knowledge of wild ginseng, the few pieces brought by this golden-haired treasure hunter are probably all century-old wild ginseng.
To be honest, this thing is something that would be expensive but unavailable if sold elsewhere.
Xu Lu remarked at the time that the name "Golden Treasure-Seeking Mouse" was truly fitting, as searching for treasure was this little creature's natural talent.
In the following days, the golden-haired treasure-hunting rat brought back a lot of things from the mountains for Xu Lu, including a fist-sized piece of gold dog head.
Since the little thing was so sensible and even knew to pay rent, Xu Lu tacitly allowed it to stay.
As a result, there was one more living creature in the small courtyard than before.
