Chapter 238 Unaware of the Crisis Xia Zhining decides to take advantage of the opportunity to send the little snake back to the mountain to go to Yanlan Mountain to investigate the reason for the decrease in peach blossom jellyfish.
She immediately reported the permit to her old friend, the forestry department.
The next morning, Xia Zhining, dressed in light hiking clothes, led Boss Ya to the pool in Yanlan Mountain.
The air in Yanlan Mountain is very fresh, and there are no "dangerous" big animals like takins. Part of it has been developed into a scenic area.
In the morning light, the pool water is crystal clear, almost transparent.
Xia Zhining waited for half a day before finally spotting a few freshwater jellyfish swaying in the water.
These little guys aren't pink; they're transparent.
It's called the peach blossom jellyfish simply because it usually appears during the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom.
Jellyfish do not have brains, but their neural networks are spread throughout their bodies, like an invisible sensory network.
Xia Zhining cannot hear the jellyfish's voice, but she can observe their fear with the naked eye.
After swimming for a while, the jellyfish touched the edge of the pool, shrank into small, taut balls, and darted around restlessly in the water.
“Little Dumb,” she said, releasing the blunt-headed, two-tailed snake from the tank.
"Could you please ask a few of the indigenous people living near this pond to come and ask them some questions?"
Upon receiving the order to return to the mountains and forests, Xiao Dun quickly slipped into the grass.
Before long, it returned with a swamp frog kicking its legs frantically, wrapped around its tail.
[Let go of the frog!!]
The frog puffed up its cheeks in anger, ["A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"]
[You won't eat me, fine, but you even kidnapped me! If word gets out, where will I put my face?!]
Xia Zhining quickly untied Xiao Dun and, suppressing a laugh, explained, "It's a misunderstanding! We're not bad snakes or bad people, we just wanted to ask you about something."
"Have you noticed that there are fewer and fewer freshwater jellyfish in this pond?"
Has anything strange happened here lately?
The frog, still shaken after being released, noticed that Xia Zhining could command the giant snake and understand its frog language.
Its two round eyes widened instantly, filled with admiration: [Funny!]
[A genius who can understand animal speech!]
The frog immediately started croaking and complaining: [Finally, someone asked!]
[The mud in this pond is cursed; if I use it to scrub my body, I'll feel itchy for three days!]
[My jellyfish friends must have been really hurt by this mud too!]
[Almost all the green beads' seeds at the bottom of the water have also died!]
The green pearls mentioned by the swamp frog are actually the algae "Ge Xian Mi" that live in symbiosis with the peach blossom jellyfish.
This is a serious problem.
Not only has the yield of Nostoc commune decreased, but many small organisms have also been affected.
This matter should be reported to the forestry department as soon as possible.
The marsh frog can be considered a "survival master" in the amphibian world.
They are not picky about the environment and can settle down in paddy fields or mountain streams.
"Even you tough little guys are afraid to touch this water..."
Xia Zhining frowned slightly. "It seems the problem at the bottom of the pool is more serious than we imagined."
She crouched down and deftly took out the sampling tube and sealed bag from her bag.
"There's definitely something wrong with this silt."
Xia Zhining carefully collected silt from different locations using a sampling tube.
She consulted with the curious frog next to her, "Little frog, can you help me find out if there are any other friends around here who are sick or uncomfortable because of contact with the mud?"
"How about we invite them to come here?"
"I'm an animal doctor, I can help you take a look."
The blunt-headed, two-tailed snake immediately added: [She's amazing! I almost went to meet the King of Hell, and she managed to pull me back!]
Upon hearing this, the frog suddenly rubbed its front paws awkwardly: "Um... Doctor, could you... take a look at me too? I just feel a bit uncomfortable with this mud."
