[Beautiful Brother Lu, law enforcement fishing]
…
[Oh my god, my mom, it couldn’t be another crocodile, python or something like that, right?!]
[Brother Lu is extremely lucky…]
[Now I have a shadow whenever I see bubbling water TUT]
The barrage exploded quickly, and Lu Liran and Ke Ji were cautious and climbed up a nearby tree with their feet out of the water.
“The water here is very shallow, so it’s unlikely to be a crocodile.” Lu Liran said, “Having said that, it’s a good idea to test the waters just to be on the safe side.”
He broke off a branch nearby and threw it towards the end where the bubbles had just appeared. The branch fell into the water calmly and sank without causing any ripples.
“There is also a possibility that there are limestone pits underneath, and the flowing groundwater has eroded the river bed, filling it with silt and water. It continues to deposit sediment, squeeze out the gaps, and bubbles emerge.” Lu Liran rolled down from the tree and found a curved branch about one meter and a half long in his hand.
“You can also test it out.” He said, paused, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, “Of course, there is also another possibility, and I am more inclined to this—— there is food.”
[Anchor: Look! Food!]
[Fuck, hahahahaha, I made a mistake, I forgot Brother Lu’s bite!]
[Brother Lu has stars in his eyes, it’s so beautiful~]
[Laughing to death, where are the stars? He’s obviously so hungry that his eyes are like stars (dog head)]
Lu Liran used the long branch as a probe and carefully walked to the water where the bubbles had just appeared.
The water depth there was slightly up to the knees, and it was surrounded by tree roots and trunks emerging from the water.
These tree trunks have been eroded and soaked by running water all year round. The surface is full of cracks and holes of various sizes. some of them were even being hollowed out to the point where they could be stuffed into an adult’s arm.
The large and small holes were pitch-black and unpredictable, mostly hidden behind those interlocking tree roots again, mostly flooded by water, like some horror movie where creepy creatures would suddenly appear.
The audience in the live broadcast room were all worried and held their breaths as they watched Lu Liran approach the place step by step.
[Shit, this is scarier than watching a horror movie, aaahhhh]
[If Brother Lu’s live broadcast room were smarter, he should put a BGM at this time, and the effect would be full, aahhh]
[I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid, the barrage army, protect me!!!
[High energy warning ahead! (dog head)]
Compared to the chaos in the live broadcast room due to unknown panic, Lu Liran was much calmer. He said: “The ground under your feet is solid, not a lime pit, so the most likely possibility is that there are fish.”
“It is indeed easy to find some fish hiding in tree holes like this, most of which are carnivorous. They wait quietly at the entrance of the hole like a rabbit, waiting for small fish to swim by, bite them, and drag them into the hole to enjoy.” Lu Liran explained while approaching.

The drone dived into the turbid water and only vaguely captured Lu Liran’s bony hands groping in the water. The visibility was pitifully poor.
Soon the drone flew out of the water again.
[Carnivorous freshwater fish?! Brother Lu wants to catch it?! Isn’t it better to be steady?!]
[Harm, even if it’s carnivorous, it’s still a fish. It’s all in Brother Lu’s recipe, don’t panic]
[Fish, great danger]
Lu Liran patiently groped around, bent down, and his chin almost touched the water: “I have to overcome my instinct of fear of the unknown underwater. My instinct screams to keep my hands out of the water, but I have to…”
As he was talking, he suddenly sucked in his breath and jerked his hand out, splashing the drone camera in the face.
[I’m wet]
[What happened!?]
[What happened to Brother Lu???]
“I’m fine.” Lu Liran said at the same time, looking at Ke Ji who was about to step forward, he nodded slightly, and then said quickly, “There should be fish here, I just got bitten.”
As he spoke, he reached out to the tree hole under the water again. He half-squinted his eyes, gritted his teeth slightly, and took a deep breath to adjust his breathing: “I have to restrain myself and not react immediately as soon as I am touched by a foreign object…I have to wait until it bites firmly…”
Lu Liran didn’t speak anymore, his hands were still shaking under the water, patiently waiting for the unknown fish to approach and attack.
“This is one of the few times when I actively wait to be attacked.” Lu Liran twitched his lips.
[Just that?? A bite from a carnivorous freshwater fish is just that??]
[Brother Lu is doing the most disturbing things in the calmest tone TAT]
[Why do I have the illusion that Brother Lu is fishing?]
[That seems to be correct. Haha, Brother Lu’s hands are the bait?]
[Pfft, the anchor is so ruthless that he even betrays himself]
[Beautiful Brother Lu, law enforcement fishing]
Lu Liran snorted softly, and his body immediately tensed up. The muscles of his arm above the water bulged sharply, but his arm under the water remained motionless. He said in a low voice: “It’s hooked!”
After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes until he felt that he had confidence in his hands, and he suddenly used his hands to pull up from the water!
A big fish with a shiny black body and slippery hands was pulled out of the water. It was dozens of centimeters long and weighed more than 20 kilograms!
The fish had a huge head, and the gap in the fish’s mouth was as wide and flat as the head. There were also long whiskers on the left and right sides, which looked extremely weird.
Lu Liran clasped a few fingers in the big fish’s mouth. He used his hands as fishing rods to pull the big fish out of the water. Immediately, he turned around, used the power of turning his waist, and swung his arm to slam the big fish against the tree trunk!
The big fish struggled with great force. Even with such a swing, it was not knocked unconscious and it continued to struggle into the water.
Lu Liran almost missed it and threw himself down to hold it tightly.
“This is a giant mouth catfish! A carnivorous freshwater fish that is very common in swamps! Its strength is simply amazing!” Lu Liran pressed it tightly. After taking a few breaths, he lifted it up with both hands again and dragged it directly to the shallower water.
After dragging it to the edge of a rock protruding from the water, he directly pressed it against the rock with his arms, pulled out the long sword, and stabbed the tip of the blade into the gills of the fish. He turned it hard and the fish’s blood instantly gushed out.
The big fish’s struggling force weakened, and Lu Liran relaxed a little, but his fingers were still bitten by it in his mouth.
“I want to open its mouth, but be careful. There are barbs on its dorsal and pectoral fins on both sides. It will instinctively raise its mouth to attack in self-defense.” Lu Liran pressed the tip of the blade against the fins on both sides, forced out the barbs, and showed it to the audience in the live broadcast room.
The barbs were so sharp and exaggerated that they hurt just by looking at them, and they were not easy to mess with at all.
“These barbs harbor fish poison, be careful not to get stabbed, otherwise the wound will immediately swell and burn up, the feeling is definitely not pleasant.” Lu Liran reminded.
“I lost my dagger in the underground cave. Now I can only use this long sword. It’s really inconvenient.” He muttered in a low voice while handling it with the sword, his words filled with disgust.
[When you use them, they’re sweet, but when you turn your back on them, you think they’re clumsy and tall man, ei]
[I hope someone who edits will make a comparison picture to compare Brother Lu’s gentleness when he first pulled out the long sword (dog head)]
[I remember, I remember, his eyes looked at it as if seeing his lover]
[I testify that Beauty has never received such attention from Brother Lu until now]
[A man is worse than a sword, hahahahaha]
Lu Liran ignored the live broadcast room and concentrated on freeing his fingers and climbed ashore with the giant mouth catfish.
“Today’s dinner.” Lu Liran held up the big fish and faced the camera with a proud smile. “This fish weighs at least ten kilograms. Let’s try the meat quality of the giant mouth catfish tonight.”
As he spoke, the system’s progress reminder sounded in his mind—— Ghost Swamp Collection progress update: Giant Mouth Catfish (1/3)
Lu Liran pondered, there were two left, so it shouldn’t be difficult to finish. The environment of the waters around here was quite suitable for this kind of fish to ambush, and it was estimated that there would still be some in a tree hole somewhere.
But for a while, he didn’t have much energy to look for and catch two giant mouth catfish, so the two found a relatively dry place nearby, some distance from the river, with a wide surrounding environment and a good view.
Lu Liran and Ke Ji worked together and skillfully set up the shelter for tonight’s camping.
There were large ready-made stones around. Lu Liran and Ke Ji used these stones as a basis to build stone walls on the left and right sides. Finally, cut some branches and spread them across the stone wall to cover the roof, and use large trees and broad leaves to cover it.
More than an hour later, the simple stone house was built and the bonfire was lit. The giant catfish, which was 40 to 50 centimeters long, was skewered on a branch and grilled.
“It’s not dark yet. I can make some more traps during this period.” Lu Liran looked at the color of the sky, and got up and got busy again.
After a while, he came back with a few heavy stones, leaves, and branches in his arms. He used the sword to chop off the fish head and chopped it into pieces. Under Ke Ji’s puzzled gaze, he said: “Bait.”
[Brother Lu’s fish chopping skills amazed the commander]
[Hahahaha, in terms of violence output, I think Commander, you are not as good as Brother Lu]
[Brother Lu has outstanding ability in individual combat and leading the line. His Excellency the Commander’s group attack and field control…I’m sorry, I couldn’t finish it anymore]
Lu Liran walked to the edge of the swamp and picked out a few tree holes that were half out of the water: “Fish are often ambushed in tree holes like this, and they can even hide in there and not move for a whole day. Hopefully my trap will be useful.”
As he spoke, he inserted the branch diagonally into the mud, then wrapped a few pieces of broken fish heads in the leaves, tied them into a leaf knot, and tied them to the branch.
The stone rests on the branches and tree holes. As long as the branches are hit by the collision, the stone will fall from the water surface.
It doesn’t have to hit the fish accurately. Just hitting the surface water will make the water surface vibrate and the fish will be stunned.
The only thing he couldn’t guarantee was whether the fish would still be unconscious when he came back to check the trap.
Lu Liran thought about it, then moved a few more rocks and put them in front of the trap to form a dam.
The giant mouth catfish is large and difficult to swim out of the water above the rocks. Although it is impossible to completely stop it, it increases the possibility to some extent.
After Lu Liran finished doing this, he walked back all the way.
“We will check and accept the results tomorrow morning. It is very likely that we will get nothing, but no matter what, don’t give up the possibility.” Lu Liran said.
On the way back, Lu Liran noticed that there were some large fruit-bearing trees growing on both sides. It was now the season from summer to autumn, and some of the fruits were already ripe, so Lu Liran picked some and took them back.
“These are Maori fruits. They are somewhat watery to eat and taste good.” Lu Liran took off his coat and spread it on the ground. He picked and said while putting all the fruits into his coat, and in a moment’s time, he filled a pocket full of them.
“These fruits are rich in water and trace vitamins. If you encounter them in the wild, you are very lucky, because they are not native plants.” Lu Liran said.
[Eh?? Why are there non-native plants here?]
[0.0 Brother Lu’s words made me a little confused]
Lu Liran glanced at the live broadcast room and smiled when he saw this:
“This is a good sign, and it is a sign that people have colonized this place before. Only humans can bring non-native plants here.”
“Although traces of humans have disappeared over the years, traces of nature have been completely preserved. They have adapted to the ecology here and integrated in.”
“And this proves that we are indeed still on the ancient road, and the route has not deviated—— Although just looking at the surrounding environment, we can only see dense vegetation and no trace of man-made roads.”
Lu Liran picked up a bag of fruits and walked towards the camp: “This is just the jungle taking back its ownership and no longer lending it to humans.”
Sunnyshies: Ahhh man, its so hot!!!
Food!
Zero surprise at the noodling!
Ouch, using yourself as bait?!
Hardcore~
At least the catch is big and hopefully filling
✨💖✨💖
