Chapter 1297: The Fairyfish in the Lake

The oasis itself is not big, and the lake is even smaller. The area may be equivalent to half a standard playground, a little more or a little less, but it is not clear how deep the lake is, so Shihua did not explore it so quickly.

Zhang Zian fetched water by the lake, filtered it, disinfected it with water purification tablets, bottled it, and then threw out all the things he didn't need in the car, even the luggage rack on the roof was removed. Anyway, there were no tents or moisture-proof mats Yes, this is the legendary rabbit dead dog cooking.

After the water problem is solved, the fuel problem remains. There is no solution to this problem, so we can only bite the bullet and drive forward. Under this premise, it is best to pack lightly and travel lightly.

Waiting for the next desert traveler to arrive at this oasis by chance and find a pile of garbage next to the palm trees by the lake, I don't know how it feels.

Of course, oases in the desert are often short-lived, especially this small oasis. When the groundwater is diverted, the springs dry up, or a black storm hits here, this oasis will disappear forever.

Richard couldn't hold back his urine, and couldn't urinate into the lake, so he had to get under the car to solve the problem. He noticed that there were not only palm trees but also date palm trees by the lake, and he urged Zhang Zian to give it to him. Pick dates and eat them.

The other elves ran to the shade of the trees one after another to enjoy the coolness. Although there were no blankets or cushions, there were thick and dense palm leaves, so it was cool and comfortable to lie on.

Crash!

Shi Hua popped his head out of the water and exclaimed excitedly, "Look! Look at what I found at the bottom of the lake!"

If you don’t consider her weird thoughts, just look at her appearance, her appearance and figure (only the upper body) are top-notch, and maybe the lower body is also top-notch in the eyes of fish, so she still looks very beautiful when she breaks through the water , coupled with this pure and unpolluted lake, it is reminiscent of the fairy in the lake.

"It can't be curry sticks..." Zhang Zian muttered, he kept working, and looked at her boredly.

"..."

Not only Zhang Zian was stunned, but the expressions of the other elves were also stunned.

Shihua is holding a thick and long...big fish in his arms.

When they saw this fish for the first time, they thought it was a snake that went to the wrong set, which shows how long this fish is.

The big fish writhed and struggled in her arms, flicked its tail and tried to escape, splashing water all over the place.

She was giggling, hugging it tightly, trying not to let it run away.

"Haha! Miss Ben is so merciful today, I invite you to eat fish! It doesn't cost money!" She betrayed her own kind with a proud face.

As she said that, she slammed it hard to the shore, throwing the fish onto the sand.

It was still struggling, using its strong and powerful tail to whip the sand flying around, covering its whole body with sand.

Upon closer inspection, it was not struggling without thinking, but wriggling its body trying to get back into the water—not to mention, its crawling speed on the shore was quite fast, much faster than ordinary fish.

It is roughly estimated that the length of this fish from head to tail is at least one meter, and its body shape is similar to hairtail, but wider than hairtail. The most striking thing is that it has a pair of long whiskers near its gills and cloaca.

"Eat it! Eat it! You're welcome! I'm treating you!" Shihua pretended to be bold and patted his chest and said, "Steam or fry as you like!"

No one thought that such a big fish lived in such a small lake, but they don't know if the fish is fierce, otherwise Feina might be in danger if she went to take a bath rashly...Of course, even if he went to take a bath, it might be too dangerous. Some important part will be bitten off.

Ordinary fish struggled in the sand for a few times before losing strength due to lack of oxygen, but this fish became more vigorous as it struggled, and it was about to re-enter the water.

Zhang Zian took the aluminum alloy luggage rack he had just thrown away, and pressed it on top of it, so that it couldn't escape temporarily.

He knelt down and observed it carefully for a while, pointed to it and said to Shihua, "Do you know what kind of fish this is?"

"What kind of fish? Edible fish! Cats eat fish, dogs eat meat, Bumpman fights little monsters! Now there are both fish and meat,

You are welcome, let's eat! "Shihua didn't think deeply at all, thinking that where there is water, there are fish. He didn't consider that there are thousands of miles of desert around him. Where did the fish come from? Fish don't come out of nothing.

Zhang Zian said: "If my guess is correct, this should be a lungfish—as the name suggests, it is a fish that can breathe with its lungs, and this kind of fish is quite rare."

"Lung...lung fish? Isn't that the same as me?" Shihua said with widened eyes, surprised. Although she couldn't understand, she always felt very powerful.

Zhang Zian: "...I don't know what you use to breathe."

Lungfish is a very ancient fish. It can be said that it is a living fossil. There are six species in total, four of which live in Africa, and only four species of lungfish in Africa can survive without water for a long time, and the other two live in South American and Australian lungfish are only out of water for short periods of time.

Aquarium pets are considered niche pets. There are very few people who keep lungfish, and few people have heard of lungfish. However, this kind of fish has become an upstart in the ornamental fish market in recent years. After all, it is rare and expensive. In the domestic ornamental fish market, there are generally two types of lungfish that are easy to buy, both of which live in Africa, one is the Victoria lungfish, and the other is the tiger lungfish.

In particular, the former is called Victoria Lungfish, named after it was first discovered in Lake Victoria in Africa, but its scientific name is actually Stone Flower Lungfish.

As for why it is called Victoria lungfish instead of stone flower lungfish in China... probably because the former is a foreign name, which sounds more compelling? The latter sounds quite earthy, and the first impression feels like some kind of edible fish.

The scientific name of tiger lungfish is African lungfish, because it is easy to be confused with "lungfish living in Africa", so they are generally called tiger lungfish by their pattern characteristics.

Victoria lungfish can grow to a maximum of about 1.8 meters. Since it can be sold as an ornamental fish in the aquarium market, it is conceivable that it must be the most common type of lungfish, but even this most common lungfish, if The ones that can grow to more than one meter long cost several thousand or even tens of thousands more.

The most expensive thing in the market is the barramundi. This fish is an extremely endangered species. It only lives in Australia and is banned from export trade. There are only about 10,000 wild ones in the world. The ones sold in the market... are all artificially propagated in theory Yes, probably.

The lungfish that Shihua carried up from the lake was not a Victoria lungfish or a tiger tiger lungfish, let alone a barramundi. From the appearance, it seemed to be an African lungfish with thin scales. Because of its slender body, Also known as long-body lungfish, it is also extremely rare in the Chinese aquarium market.
