Chapter 368 Killing Fish
Having said that, the matter also reflects from the side, that is, the things in the water are definitely not as simple as this strange creature.
Captain Zhang said, "This water is just what we call rainwater. Even if something in the water is washed around, it shouldn't produce something so bizarre."
Lao Gao joked, "Could it be man-made? Just like the mutant creatures in the forest, man-made."
As soon as Lao Gao finished speaking, almost everyone's eyes were focused on him.
But what I’m saying is, can you please not say such creepy things in broad daylight?
…
Captain Wang broke the temporary silence and changed the subject directly, "This thing should have frozen to death. So what should we do now? Should we just leave it like this, throw it in the water, or... eat it?"
It's impossible to eat it. Who can eat this thing?
Shen Zhiyan said disdainfully: "Let's dig a hole and bury it. What if this thing is poisonous and someone dies from eating it?"
Captain Wang said, "This fish is obviously not poisonous."
"The pufferfish doesn't look poisonous, but it's actually extremely toxic. So, you want to test its poison on us?" Captain Zhang's heavy heart finally relaxed. "Okay, it's not appropriate to throw it into the water. Let's dig a hole and bury it."
Unexpectedly, just when one of the team members was about to dig a hole, the fish on the other side suddenly swung their tails collectively, and then skillfully used the "puff" that grew out of their bodies to crawl around.
The group of fishes rushed around in a panic, causing everyone to scream.
Lan Jin looked at the strange arm and got goosebumps with fear. Then, one of them lost control and lightning struck. All the fish straightened up and froze in place, and then they really fell to the ground and didn't get up.
"It's quite tenacious."
In the team, a member suddenly said this.
This also made everyone remember what Zhou Zhiye had just said, "Mermaids have very strong vitality."
At this moment, Huang Jinghe was on the verge of tears. "No, it's definitely not a mermaid. Mermaids definitely don't look like this. It's like it hasn't just evolved two arms. Mermaids have already evolved. Besides, mermaids don't have grass carp."
Huang Jinghe's last sentence made the surrounding team members laugh uncontrollably.
This fish is quite long, but it is definitely not a fine and beautiful ornamental fish. If you insist on saying what it looks like, it looks like a grass carp. Mermaids can be of any species, even species that cannot be named, but they definitely cannot be like grass carp.
Ling Jiang couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, this definitely isn't a mermaid. Mermaids don't live in waters like this. How far can it swim? It's definitely not a mermaid. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Lan Jin also stepped forward to comfort him: "Yes, yes, this is definitely not a mermaid. If you can't stand it having double poofs, just chop it off."
Lan Jin's words really reminded Captain Zhang. He said, "Xi Yu, you're the only researcher left. If I kill it, can you study it?"
Xi Yu was dumbfounded. "No, Captain Zhang, why do you still want to kill fish?"
Captain Zhang said with a smile, "I'll kill him, you don't have to. After I kill him, you can study him."
Xi Yu rubbed his forehead, sighed, and accepted Captain Zhang's opinion.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to resist, it’s mainly because resistance is useless.
Because there was no need for Captain Zhang to remind them at this moment. As soon as they heard that he wanted to kill the fish, the team members all came forward to observe how to kill the fish.
…
These fish were too big and were just stunned by Lan Jin's electric shock. The team members went over to catch them, and the fish felt pain and immediately began to "sweep" around with their big tails.
The team members around were not paying attention and were swept into the sky by the fish's tail. In the end, it was the people with plant-based abilities who tied up those people with vines and pulled them back, otherwise they might have been swept so high.
Well, no need to guess anymore, with this kind of force, it can really cause the ship to capsize.
Lan Jin said, "Ling Jiang, after I electrocute it, freeze its tail to the ground so it can't lash around."
After saying that, Lan Jin used his lightning ability to strike all the fish on the top of their heads. The fish were turned into arc shapes by the lightning and became stiff for a long time before falling to the ground on their sides.
Lao Gao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went forward to check. He said, "His head is all cracked and messed up. He should be dead."
"That's right. Never mind. Lingjiang, freeze the tails." Captain Zhang said this without picking out any fish. The tail of the nearest fish was frozen directly. As for the rest of the fish, not only their tails but their entire bodies were frozen to the ground by Lingjiang. He was afraid that when he was killing the fish, one of them would accidentally move and sweep him into the sky.
In this team, there are talents from all fields, so there is no need to ask for standard chefs.
They had three ships and quite a few chefs, but after a careful count, there were only three left, one of whom was the head chef, whose surname was Shan.
Captain Zhang said, "Old Dan, come here."
Old Dan agreed without thinking, and the other two chefs beside him returned to the boat and took Chef Dan's knife.
Chef Shan gripped his knife, looking very satisfied. But before he started, he looked at Captain Zhang and asked, "Should we open the belly or the back?"
There are certain rules for opening the belly and the back. When we buy fish outside, we usually open the belly, that is, the belly of the fish. First, cut the belly open, take out the internal organs, and then clean it. Then we can go home and cook and eat the fish. But if we open the back, we usually cut the fish meat in half from the spine, from the head to the tail, and then take out the internal organs. But opening the back is usually done in winter when pickling fish.
At this moment, Chef Dan really didn't know what to do.
Captain Zhang was a little confused when he heard the chef ask such a question.
But after the confusion, Captain Zhang was speechless. "Why do I feel like the next step is to heat the oil in the wok? Forget it, don't worry about it, just open the back and drive all the way to the frozen tail. That way, we can see clearly inside."
After saying this, before Chef Shan could make his move, Ling Jiang went over and froze the fish's head and both of its legs, leaving only the back exposed. She said, "If it's not dead, it would be bad if it wakes up after the pain."
…
The chef's knife was indeed sharp. He cut along the fishbone from the head to the tail. With this cut, the fish skin was also cut open. Then Chef Dan followed this line and inserted the knife directly into the fish's back.
