Chapter 141 Hidden danger
When he found the silver dragon with a mutated body color, Li Sheng was not sure if it was due to a genetic mutation, but he felt that it was likely [nine out of ten].He carefully controlled the water around the fish so that the fish could not struggle, then reached out to grab the fish and controlled its body with air, leaving only the mouth to move.

After the silver arowana was taken out of the water, the thick black scales on its body reflected the sunlight, highlighting the metallic color within, as bright as if it had been coated with thick black metal.

He asked the worker, "Have you ever seen such a fish before?"

"No. But I did catch a few silver ones. But I ate them all."

Silver arowana is an ornamental fish in Asia, but they do not have this life in South America. They are usually placed in the fish market as food fish.Even the Asian purebred silver dragon fish is not of much value anymore.Now ornamental arowanas are all hybridized with Australian or Asian arowanas.And the current prices of those alien species are not as crazy as they were back then.Gone are the days when a thread could buy millions of dollars.

So he didn't blame the workers for eating those fish, but this one was considered a different species, and he didn't think about eating it like this: "I'll take this fish away. You have no objection."

"Uh, boss, you can take it if you like." This lake belongs to Li Sheng, and of course this fish also belongs to him.He wanted to take the fish, and of course the worker had no objection.

Li Sheng asked someone to find a relatively large plastic bucket, put the fish in it, and then returned to the villa by hoisting it by helicopter.After returning to the villa, he didn't know where to keep it.To keep such a large fish, you need a fairly large tank.It is also troublesome for him to get a suitable fish tank.

Finally, he put the fish in a big plastic bucket to raise it first.This fish was quite bold, and not long after it was put in the bucket, it began to eat the worms thrown by Li Sheng.

Li Sheng considered how to deal with this fish.Eating is the most straightforward, but it seems a bit wasteful.It is also troublesome to keep.But this seems to be good. There seems to be no decorations in the villa. Adding a fish tank should make it more lively.It's just that the cleaning of large fish tanks is also more troublesome.

Do you want to bring it back to Huaxia?It suddenly occurred to him that countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia still like this kind of ornamental fish very much.

He was planning to go back, and he could take a fish back to show Chen Bo.He needs to make connections in China, and maybe he happens to have a relationship with arowana.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was a good idea.Perhaps the only all-black arowana in the world is rare and expensive. For those who like arowana, receiving such a gift is more precious than any other gift.

But he just thought so, and finally Zhang Feng called him and said: "Boss, those workers found a small group of small black dragon fish, about the length of a palm."

Li Sheng suddenly felt like beeping a dog.But he was still a little lucky, the little black arowana might not necessarily be the same as this one when it grows up.After all, the small fish of the black dragon fish are black.

Besides, even if those arowanas are still black when they grow up, it is only available in Silent Farm.As long as he does not sell outside, there will be no flooding.

However, immediately afterward, the workers discovered new variants of silver arowana one after another.The way of harvesting giant algae is no longer towed by tractors, but a motorized rotary machine is directly installed on the shore, and a flat-bottomed boat full of giant algae is pulled back with a steel cable. This method can pull back at least six at a time. Ten tons of macroalgae, and each trip back and forth is much faster than using a tractor before.

Perhaps it was the new harvesting method that allowed the giant algae in the two lakes to be harvested faster, and the discovery of the black arowana aroused the curiosity of the workers.They soon found arowanas in three other colors.

A kind of purple-red, the scales of this dragon fish are deep purple-red at the edges, and the color in the middle gradually fades until the center turns red.One is golden.This golden color is very pure, just like pure gold.The last one is pink, but the color of the head is lighter, the tail is darker, the scales are also darker at the edge, lighter in the center, and the transition in the middle is very uniform.

This made Li Sheng feel dizzy.Could it be that the water in this small lake can really cause some special changes in the dragon fish?
However, he caught a few pairs of mutated arowanas of various colors, and he observed them for a week, but he didn't find any changes in the body color of those arowanas.Those arowanas are still as shiny as gold, and the color is very positive.This shows that dragon fish can also survive in ordinary water.

The tourist visa to Huaxia has been processed.He was not in a hurry to go right away, but asked people to catch a few undamaged Heteromorphic Arowana.He plans to take them to Huaxia together.

There was indeed more than one black dragon fish, and the workers saw at least five or six, but they only caught one more.Others only captured two.Both are male and female.For these four pairs of fish, they spent a lot of effort to find them.

Li Sheng saw that there seemed to be a lot of these heterochromatic arowanas. After thinking about it for a long time, he asked Anthony to ask the construction team who were still building the runway to find a time to build a rockery fish pond in the yard of his villa.He plans to catch some heterochromatic arowanas and keep them in it in the future.It's just that now that these have been captured, he still decides to continue to take them to Huaxia.

He didn't plan to go through any quarantine procedures.However, judging from the health status of these fish, they should not be sick fish, and quarantine should be superfluous, as for viruses and bacteria.What he wanted to say was that for such a large ornamental fish, nothing could be detected at all.The quarantine agency can't kill such a fish for testing.

If viruses and bacteria are a concern, ships don't have to go through ports at the mouth of the Amazon.Otherwise, the load-bearing water brought back will also bring back all the viruses and bacteria in the river water.

Li Sheng packed the eight fish in a big plastic bucket and threw them into the space, planning to leave for Huaxia tomorrow.

But at this time, something happened to the farm again.

Tomas came to the office worriedly and told him that a pony from Pasture Nine had disappeared two days ago.

There are already more than a dozen ponies on the farm, all of which were born by the farm horses.

Although Li Sheng felt a little pity, he didn't think there was anything wrong.Those are ordinary riding horses, and the loss is not big if lost.He said: "Maybe it ran to the forest by the river in the south." Now is the dry season, and the crocodiles are more concentrated. Maybe the pony was eaten by the crocodiles because it ran to the river.

Thomas said in a low voice: "If it's a crocodile, I'm not too worried. On land, the crocodile's mobility will be affected to a certain extent. I'm worried about anaconda or anaconda."

Seeing that he seemed nervous, Li Sheng was a little puzzled: "Even if the python ate it, there's nothing I can do to be nervous now. Just keep the workers away from that forest."

Thomas nodded and said: "That's all we can do now. But we can't take it lightly. Animals hunt in relatively fixed areas. If they successfully hunt in one place, they will come often later. Whether it is anaconda or water anaconda, they are on land. The mobility on the ground is still very strong. In particular, the grass in our pasture is dense and tall, and if a python enters, it will be difficult to find. That is what I am worried about."

When Li Sheng heard what he said, he felt that it was not unreasonable.He stood up and took two steps, but he thought that he might not be able to find it if he went looking for it now, so he asked, "Have you asked someone to search for that forest? Did you find anything?"

"No." The area of ​​the forest is still quite large, and it is not easy to search it all.

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "You tell the workers to be more careful. No matter what, entering that forest is strictly prohibited for the time being. You should also pay attention to safety at ordinary times."

"I fear it will cause a panic!"

"It's better than someone having an accident." Panic may make people more cautious.

Li Sheng said, "You should also pay attention to this matter during this time."

"I will," Thomas frowned. He thought for a moment. "I think the security team can search that forest."

Although Li Sheng had his own ideas, he still said, "Okay, I'll call Babur and Zhang over."

About 10 minutes later, Babur and Zhang Dingbian rushed over.

Thomas told them both what he had guessed.

Li Sheng said: "Your security team is better at searching. Can you send some people in to look for it? But it's best not to act alone. If you find something, shoot it immediately."

Babur nodded and said, "That's our job. We'll take care of it." The security team's job is to keep the farm safe, and now the safety of farm workers may be at risk.The security team must do its duty.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Then you go back and make arrangements. I will go to Huaxia tomorrow, and let me know if I find anything."

After the three of them had left, Li Sheng thought about it for a while, but still felt uneasy. He drove the helicopter to the forest in the south.The energy field induction was released.He found a lot of animals in the forest, including relatively dangerous animals such as giant dolphins and caimans.No pythons were found.

Searching the entire forest gave him a headache.He didn't find the python, so he felt a little relieved.But it's not entirely reassuring.After a boa constrictor eats a large prey, it takes a long time to digest it.If it was really a python that ate the pony, maybe that python is hiding in a safe place to digest.

He didn't ask Thomas the size of the pony, but there were only about a dozen ponies on the farm now, and the last one he remembered seemed to have been born more than two months ago.

A boa constrictor that can swallow a pony might also swallow a human.But now he has no way to eliminate this possible hidden danger.Moreover, it takes at least a few days for the boa constrictor to digest such a large amount of food.If he really hid to digest it, he might not be able to wait for it to reappear during this period of time.

In addition, he arranged for a security team and also asked Thomas to warn the workers.He felt that nothing would happen within half a month.And his arrangement to go to Huaxia has already been made, and he doesn't want to delay this matter.

He found Thomas and explained a few words, reminding him that if there is a python, it may not appear again in the next few days.

Thomas nodded and said, "I also told Babur and Zhang about this. So in the past few days, the security team will not go in and search for the time being."

Hearing what he said, Li Sheng put the matter aside for the time being, and prepared to go to Huaxia with peace of mind.
