Chapter 29 Tracking, Water Cave

The obviously conscious behavior of the black fish seemed to come here specifically to rescue its own kind. This made Su Lie very interested and reminded him of the secrets of this world that he had heard before.

"Could this fish be related to those missing people?" Su Lie thought to himself, keeping a calm expression on his face, and staring closely at the movements of the black carp through the water.

Just as Su Lie thought, whenever there was a school of fish about to take the bait, the black carp would swim there and pull away the fish that were about to be hooked, but it would ignore the bites of some small fish fry, as if it was worried that too many fishermen would fail to catch the bait and arouse suspicion.

Fishing is a way to kill time. After several hours, several anglers had some catches, including Su Wen, who caught a fat silver carp.

That was when Su Lie used a stone to block the blue fish when it was about to rescue it. That was why Su Lie saw the blue fish's humane and alert look, which undoubtedly further proved that this strange fish was intelligent.

Perhaps this was what made the black carp alert. Su Lie noticed that the fish actually left the river area directly. Following his sight, he found that the black carp left the Congming River and entered the Tangbai River.

The Tangbai River is wide, but the water seems to be stable, but there are undercurrents inside. The depth of the river varies, the shallowest is only five or six meters, and the deepest is hundreds of meters. Ordinary fish can only go with the flow when entering the river, but under Su Lie's gaze, the strange black fish was not affected at all, not only swimming upstream but also swimming with ease.

There are many reefs and cracks at the bottom of the river. The black carp swims through many reefs and finally dives into a deep crack.

Su Lie's pupils suddenly shrank, and his sight penetrated the rocks at the bottom of the river and followed the figure of the green fish all the way. He didn't know how long the green fish swam, and finally a ray of light appeared in Su Lie's sight.

“Is there really another world?”

Following the herring out of the water, Su Lie saw an empty cave-like space. The herring was in a pond, and not far from the pond was a rocky landing area.

There are stone tables, stone chairs and stone beds on it that were obviously artificially carved. The bedding on the stone beds had long since rotted away, indicating that no one has lived here for a long time.

On the stone table there is also a simple-looking teapot without a lid, and several teacups that are integrated into one. However, the teapot has long been broken and cracked, and drops of transparent liquid seep out from the cracks in the teapot and drip onto the rocky ground along the texture of the stone table.

The black carp swam to the edge of the pond, its mouth opening and closing constantly, sucking the water mixed with transparent liquid into its mouth, and a human-like look of enjoyment appeared in its eyes.

"It is the tea in these teapots that gives this fish intelligence." Seeing this scene, Su Lie's doubts were answered, and at the same time he became more interested in this cave.

Even with Daxuan's current technological development, it is still impossible to completely crack the secrets of organisms, especially biological genes.

Although the thinking of living things originates from the brain, Daxuan and even countries around the world have concluded long ago that humans, including other living things, have already used 100% of their brain in daily life.

In other words, if organisms other than humans want to possess human-like intelligence, the key may not lie in the brain, but in genes or other deeper things.

Living organisms are a huge treasure, and even the development of human beings to date may have only explored and released part of the potential of this treasure.

It is only this part of the potential that has enabled this planet to move from barbarism to civilization. So if everything is liberated, will humans and other creatures evolve into extraordinary creatures?
Not to mention the already intelligent humans, if other creatures also develop more species potential, will other intelligent races emerge?

It has only been millions of years of evolution, and only humans have evolved into intelligent creatures. It can be seen how difficult it is to develop the potential of creatures. But now, under Su Lie's gaze, a fish actually has wisdom, and the only thing that gives it wisdom is some tea that has existed for who knows how long.

If this discovery were known to those experts who have devoted their lives to studying biology, I wonder how many of them would go crazy. Now that he had made the discovery, Su Lie no longer paid attention to the fish. He silently noted the location of the cave and planned to take some time to go there and explore it in person.

It was already afternoon and approaching evening, and the crowd by the river had dispersed. Although there was no interference from the black carp, the fishermen's daily harvest was pitifully small. Even Su Wen, apart from the silver carp that Su Lie caught at the beginning, only managed to catch a pitiful small fish fry afterwards.

Even so, Su Wen was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He walked around Congming Lake with the fish in his hand, and even went to the street next to it to buy some seasonings. Then, at Su Lie's reminder, he set off for home.

After returning home, Gao Lan automatically ignored the cheerful Su Wen and looked directly at Su Lie. After discovering that her son seemed to be in a much better mood, she decided to cook a table of delicious food herself. At Su Wen's strong insistence, he cooked the silver carp tonight.

The dinner was a happy one, during which Su Lie also learned about his parents' concerns about him. Although he felt amused, a warm current flowed through his heart, as if the increasingly serious delusion had faded a little.

The Tangbai River was as calm as a mirror at night. The dark water reflected the flowers, plants and trees on both sides. Some midges were flying on the water near the shore. Everything seemed unusually quiet.

Boom!
Suddenly, a slight sound of gas explosion broke the silence. No human figure appeared yet. Then, accompanied by the sound of "plop" falling into the water, a small splash of water was seen on the calm river surface. The splash burst out and countless water droplets fell down, causing circles of ripples on the calm river surface. As the ripples spread and disappeared, the river surface returned to calm again, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

Under the surface of the river, Su Lie moved, and with the force of his feet, he was like a torpedo, ignoring the turbulent undercurrent around him and shooting straight to the bottom of the river a hundred meters deep.

Although he hadn't fully awakened his iron body, Su Lie's physical strength was far superior to that of an ordinary person. In terms of defense, he might not be able to withstand the penetration of a large-caliber sniper rifle, but bullets from ordinary guns would never be able to penetrate his skin.

Therefore, the deep water pressure that could be fatal to ordinary people had no effect on Su Lie.

At the bottom of the river, Su Lie's eyes were as clear as day, and he quickly found the crack where the herring had entered. Looking at the narrow gap in front of him, Su Lie turned his eyes and inspected the outer perimeter of the thousands of meters of rock wall inside the cave, but in the end he did not find any other more suitable entrance.

"It seems that we can only dig out one passage."

Thinking of this, Su Lie did not punch directly. Although his fist could easily break the rock formation in front of him, such a movement would likely be transmitted to the water and cause changes in the river surface.

call!
The freezing breath was activated, Su Lie puffed up his chest and abdomen, and then a column of extremely cold white air came out of Su Lie's mouth. The moment the column of air touched the rock, a layer of ice condensed on the surface of the rock. The ice quickly spread to the inside of the rock layer, and within a few seconds, the position of the rock layer that could accommodate a person's width was condensed with ice.

Looking at the changes in front of him, Su Lie did not delay. He swam to the front of the ice rock layer, covered it with his palm and exerted slight force.

Kaka!

Cracks appeared instantly and spread rapidly. The rock layer in front of him cracked into irregular ice blocks of varying sizes, which were swept away by the river water. A dark passage one person wide appeared in front of Su Lie.

Exerting force with his feet, Su Lie moved forward and rushed into the passage. Some protruding rocks he encountered along the way were easily smashed by his body. A few seconds later, Su Lie's body rushed out of the pool of water, splashing large amounts of water onto the rocky floor of the cave.

　This chapter has changed the part about brain development. It was originally written as one tenth. But after being reminded by readers, the author did some research and found that one tenth is actually a rumor. In order to avoid this toxic point, the author changed it to biological potential or genetic exploration.

　　Here, I would like to thank all the book lovers for their criticisms again!
