67: Mysterious glowing fish

Below the cliff, there was an underwater cave that was recessed inwards.

At this moment, the entrance of the underwater cave was emitting faint starlight.

But this was not their main focus.

What surprised them was that these starlight-like glows were slowly swimming towards them.

This phenomenon made them even more expectant.

The three of them stood quietly on the boat, watching the direction of the glowing objects.

From a distance, their positions formed the icon of a mobile phone signal.

Just as they were anticipating, the glowing objects stopped halfway there.

This made them extremely anxious.

Zhao Hu said anxiously, "Why did they stop? Should we drive the boat over to take a look?"

"No, don't act rashly. If we scare them away, it will be difficult to find them again," Chen Wen stopped him and said.

"You guys keep watching, I'll go back and get the binoculars."

Chen Xiangbei went to the cockpit and took the high-powered binoculars used for navigation from the control panel.

Returning to the deck, he used the high-powered binoculars to look at the glowing objects.

He constantly adjusted the magnification to find a suitable viewing angle.

When he saw the glowing objects clearly, his hands trembled with excitement.

He put down the binoculars and said excitedly to the two of them.

"I saw them clearly! Those glowing objects are fish, fish that can glow."

"The reason they stopped is because they are afraid of sunlight."

"The position where they stopped is exactly the intersection of sunlight and the shadow of the cliff."

Chen Wen and Zhao Hu were also excited after hearing this.

"Then what should we do? They can't come over, and we can't go over either," Zhao Hu said anxiously.

"Who says we can't go over? As long as we don't drive directly over, we can take a detour and drive into the shaded area from the side," Chen Xiangbei said with a smile.

"That's right! As expected, people shouldn't be too excited, it's easy to short-circuit your brain!"

Chen Xiangbei returned to the cockpit and started the boat, first turning it around.

Then he circled to the cliff in the distance, turned around again, and headed straight for the location of the glowing fish.

About five minutes passed.

They arrived near the glowing fish, not daring to get too close.

Chen Xiangbei stopped the boat and signaled for the two of them to remain silent.

He came to the side of the boat and threw down a piece of Secret Bait nearby to attract the glowing fish.

When the bait had almost dispersed, the glowing fish that had stopped in the distance smelled the familiar and enticing scent.

They all wagged their tails and swam towards the boat.

Chen Xiangbei had put down the fishing rod in advance, mixed with the strong bait, waiting for the fish to bite.

After waiting for a while, these glowing fish finally swam closer.

Chen Xiangbei and his two brothers held their breath, watching carefully, afraid that the slightest movement would scare them away.

On the other hand, the fish seemed to be back in their own home, fearlessly devouring the bait.

One unlucky one bit the fishing bait mixed in.

Chen Xiangbei pulled him up immediately and put him in the fish box.

This fish had a unique and stunning transparent silver-white hue.

Its scales seemed to be inlaid with countless tiny diamonds, shimmering with a faint but captivating light.

When natural light shone on the fish, the light was refracted and reflected, forming a series of brilliant and colorful spectra, giving a dreamlike feeling.

This wonderful color made the fish like a water sprite, beautiful and mysterious.

He didn't have time to appreciate it properly, and turned back to continue fishing, there were still a few fish in the water.

When he caught the first fish, its companions around it were scared away.

However, their vigilance seemed low, and they swam back to eat the bait after a while.

He held the fishing rod motionless, and after waiting for a while, the fish on the periphery slowly approached the bait.

Only after the surrounding bait was finished did the second fish "luckily" bite the hook.

Chen Xiangbei quickly pulled the rod and lifted the fish up.

Upon closer inspection, he found that its body presented an elegant pale blue tone, as if it were integrated with the surrounding water.

This was completely different from the color of the first fish.

He still didn't have time to study it and turned back to continue fishing for other fish.

About half an hour later.

Chen Xiangbei finally caught all these glowing fish of different colors.

There were as many as seven of them, similar in size, about 10 centimeters long, but with different colors.

There were silver-white, pale blue, pale pink, pale green, and other colors, and the corresponding colors emitted corresponding light.

The three brothers were carefully observing their characteristics.

To verify how brightly these fish could glow, Chen Wen suggested.

"Let's take them to the cabin on the second floor, it's darker there, suitable for observing these fish."

"Let's go! Let's take them inside and have a look."

So, the three brothers carefully carried them to the cabin on the second floor.

They used bedsheets to cover the small windows on the second floor.

When all the windows were covered, the seven fish instantly emitted a brighter light.

The colorful light shone in the cabin, looking very much like a secret realm.

The colorful and dazzling light illuminated the cabin.

It illuminated the entire space like a dream, as if being in a mysterious and magical secret realm.

These lights were colorful, red like fire, blue like the deep sea, green like emerald, yellow like golden autumn... they intertwined, weaving a captivating picture.

Under this wonderful light, everything in the cabin became exceptionally vivid.

Chen Xiangbei and the others were stunned by this scene.

They had never seen fish that could glow, let alone such bright bioluminescence.

"What do we do now? This is clearly a species that has not appeared in nature," Chen Xiangbei said first.

"I think you should take them back and raise them yourself, don't let others know, and don't sell them," Chen Wen said.

"Ah, why?"

"Because this could be an unknown new species, and it is highly likely to have come about through mutation."

"Mainly because this fish is extremely beautiful, and the characteristic of being able to glow alone gives it high collection value."

"If some businessmen or relevant research institutions find out, you are likely to be constantly harassed by them."

"If you don't want to be bothered, either raise them secretly or release them."

"Of course, you can also hand them over to the official research department, and maybe you can even get a banner."

Chen Wen explained at length.

Chen Xiangbei felt that his explanation made a lot of sense after hearing it.

He had always fished for the purpose of making money.

The fish he raised at home were not valuable, and he just raised them for fun since he had the space at home.

When he first caught these seven glowing fish, his first thought was how to maximize the profit from selling them.

He had not considered any other aspects at all.

After a period of internal struggle, he decided to raise the fish, considering them a gift from Baiyun Lake.

It would be a bit difficult for him to release them or donate them, after all, they were the natural spirits he had managed to catch with great difficulty.
