Ye Feng had never experienced anything like this before, let alone seen a fish that ate a rope.
While I was curious, I was also suddenly filled with fear.
It even dares to gnaw on ropes; if it went into the water, who knows what kind of attack it would suffer.
He pulled hard on the rope with both hands, clearly feeling the considerable strength of the underwater creature.
Seeing this, Fu Changxiong and Zhan Pengwu immediately came to help.
Unexpectedly, just as the group started to exert force, the underwater creature suddenly released its grip.
The three of them used too much force, and the inertia caused them to fall backward...
"Ouch!"
The three of them immediately fell flat on their backs...
Ye Feng quickly stood up and pulled the rope.
Soon, once the rope was completely pulled ashore, everyone raised their eyebrows, and all the men present spoke in unison…
"Holy shit!?"
They simply couldn't believe what they were seeing...
The thick hemp rope, about the size of a sports bottle cap, had been chewed into several holes.
It turns out that the fish didn't let go; the rope had been bitten through.
It's important to know that ropes are a primary piece of equipment for many firefighters and special forces soldiers during climbing training.
It is because of its characteristics that it is sturdy and durable, and has excellent toughness, and can withstand high-intensity wear and tensile stress.
And how could this unidentified underwater creature have been bitten like this in such a short time?
Although the opening was not large, less than a quarter of the entire rope.
However, this bite force and aggression are something that ordinary fish cannot achieve.
Ye Feng slowly turned his head and looked at Zhan Pengwu, who was in a daze…
"Monk, I heard you're pretty good at diving, come on... go down and show us..."
He casually gestured for them to proceed...
"Eh...no way, no way."
Zhan Pengwu shook his head repeatedly. What a joke! Even if he practiced kung fu for another 50 years, he couldn't possibly make his body harder than a rope.
"How could there be such a fish in such a small river? Hey buddy... do you know what it is?"
"I haven't even seen what this thing looks like yet, how could I possibly know?"
Ye Feng swallowed hard; this was the first time he had ever seen such aggression and destructive power from a fish.
However, he had already seen enough outrageous creatures and phenomena in the Amazon.
Although I was still shocked, I could understand that anything could happen in the heart of one of the oldest rainforests on Earth.
But he hated this unknown and powerful creature, so if he wanted to get to the other side, he had to figure out what it was and how many there were underwater in order to come up with a solution.
Ye Feng immediately took out his fishing rod, cut off a piece of the python meat he had previously cut off, hung it on the hook, and threw it directly into the water.
If Amazon were in China, it would probably have been trampled flat by fishing boats long ago.
Less than five seconds after the bait was cast, before Ye Feng had even sunk a certain distance, the float disappeared immediately, followed by a familiar force coming from the fishing rod.
The group worked together to pull the mysterious giant fish ashore.
"Splash splash splash!"
The fish clearly refused to comply; the moment it emerged from the water, its tail thrashed about, splashing up huge sprays of water.
This fish is about 50 to 60 centimeters long and weighs about 20 kilograms.
Its back is completely black, and its weight and length are not particularly outstanding, making it look no different from other fish.
Once it was fully pulled up, Ye Feng saw the fish's teeth, and he and Liu Sisi recognized its identity at the same time.
"A toothed fish!?"
Ye Feng gritted his teeth in hatred...
"So it was you, you beast! I'll fucking kill you!"
He pulled out a knife and plunged it into the head of the big fish.
The frequency of the thrashing of the man-toothed fish immediately decreased significantly.
Seeing this, everyone was very puzzled, as they rarely saw Ye Feng get so angry at a fish.
"Brother Feng, what is a human-toothed fish?"
Qi Xiaoyan asked…
Ye Feng pulled out his knife and stabbed the fish several times until it stopped thrashing. Then he chopped off the fish's head and held it in his hand.
He used the tip of his knife to pry open the fish's mouth, revealing it to everyone.
They discovered that the fish's teeth were not the terrifying sharp teeth of piranhas or giant water wolf carp.
On the contrary, the fish's teeth are at least 70% similar to those of humans.
It has neat incisors and molars that help with chewing; those who haven't seen it before might mistake it for a close relative of humans.
"This thing is actually a close relative of piranhas, and is also called the Paku piranha."
They mainly eat nuts or small insects that fall into the water.
But it is actually an omnivore; when starving, it will attack other small fish, and even humans.
At this point, Ye Feng frowned and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Most importantly, this thing basically only attacks men, and it specifically bites Kunba. It's just like the toothpick fish."
However, since toothpick fish are parasites, they can at least be removed surgically, preventing them from becoming castrated or dying outright.
But this guy is different. It has a strong bite force and a fast attack speed. It can bite off Kunba and the egg together in one bite.
They are infamous and utterly detestable, known as a man's nightmare, hence their nickname "egg-cutter fish."
Upon hearing this, the men present felt a chill run down their spines, and Zhan Pengwu unconsciously clenched his legs together.
He was planning to swim across just now, and he managed to bite through the rope; his own testicles aren't that tough.
It's unbelievable that the heart of the Amazon is home to all sorts of strange and unusual creatures.
"Bro... this thing really only attacks a man's groin?"
Fu Changxiong took a closer look, his face showing a mixture of curiosity and lingering fear...
"Yes."
Liu Sisi picked up the conversation...
"I have read many reports that many indigenous people in the Amazon, as well as some people in the surrounding New Guinea, have been attacked by this fish."
Many of them became eunuchs, and the death toll was not small.
It's said that this is because male genitalia emit a scent that men find appealing...
They naturally mistook it for food, which is why they only attacked the genitals.
All the men felt a tightness in their lower bodies; if they lost that thing, they'd rather be dead.
"Brother, if all else fails, let's take a detour and go downstream. Maybe we'll find a way to get ashore."
Fu Changxiong made the suggestion, and the other men in the group all nodded in agreement.
Ye Feng didn't reply. He looked at the water and then at the hemp rope in his hand.
Judging from the wet marks on the rope, the water where we just tested was at least 6 meters deep.
Judging from the bite marks on the hemp rope, there was clearly more than one man-eating fish.
They couldn't go into the water, and even if they built a raft, they couldn't climb the smooth stone wall.
Jumping across is even more impossible, as it's about 6 meters from the other side. In this terrain, even national-level athletes might not be able to do it.
Right now, the map is about to refresh, but things seem to have reached a dead end.
Ye Feng picked up the binoculars and looked carefully downstream, then shook his head.
"The water flow downstream is getting wider and wider, which means there must be a river there."
Not only could they not find a way to the other side if they continued downstream, they would eventually have to build a raft to cross the river.
It's a waste of time. I think... if you want to get there, this is the only suitable place.
