Wet viviparity

Chapter 1 Grass Carp, Treasure Eye
Reincarnation is a technical job, and Ji Ming now undoubtedly has mastered this core technology.

Under a pond, he, who had long since been reincarnated as a grass carp, was hiding at the bottom of the pond to avoid the scorching sun.

His fish mouth opened and closed constantly, sucking water into his mouth and then pushing the water out through the gill holes.

During this process, water flows through the gill filaments, and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.

This is his instinct as a fish - breathing underwater, which can ensure his survival underwater for a long time.

Honestly speaking, even now, after two years of living as a fish, Ji Ming still finds it hard to accept and adapt to the fact that he was reborn as a fish.

He didn't do anything wrong in his previous life, so why did he end up being reborn as a grass carp?

Such meaningless thinking did not last long.

He has always been a person who goes with the flow. Although his current experience is very bizarre, the fish instinct is constantly driving him to find food, reproduce, and avoid natural enemies.

It gently swung a pair of pectoral fins under its body, and the shallow layer of mud and sand on the pond mud was swept away.

He bit off the fresh and tender water plants that had just grown in the mud and sand, and then swallowed them bit by bit. Occasionally, a few small snails with crispy shells were also swept away by him one by one.

It is mostly due to him that the aquatic plants in this pond are grown in a proper density and do not grow all over the pond.

"Gululu~"

A "giant" swung its tail fin vigorously and pressed down violently, pushing Ji Ming aside roughly and constantly trying to attack him.

This "giant" is the king of the fish in the pond. It is a military fish that is more than one meter long and weighs sixteen kilograms.

Every scale on its body is the size of a fingernail, especially the large scales on its back, which are so thick and blue, making it look like it is wearing armor.

Ji Ming blew out a string of bubbles, cursed, and hid in the water plants.

In this small pond, the food chain is divided into different levels.

Grass carp like his has now grown to the length of a forearm (25-30CM) and weighs about three or four pounds, but it is obviously still a level lower than the fish bully.

On weekdays, he only feeds on water plants, snails, shrimps, insects and earthworms, and never competes for food with the fish bully.

After all…it was really meaningless, and of course he couldn't win the fight.

Compared with the fish king, Ji Ming might be insignificant, but in the pond, a grass carp of his size is also unique.

When the big sun set in the sky and the temperature gradually dropped, Ji Ming no longer looked for food in the pond.

He swam to a shrimp hole he occupied on the shore, and after confirming it was safe again and again, he carefully spit out an "eyeball".

The eyeball was round, with bloodshot eyes on the white, and a pupil shaped like a circular mountain range inside. Inside the pupil was a large word - [Fetus].

Ji Ming was born here, and began his life as a fish. It was not because he really committed any sin, but it was all due to the "gift" of this eyeball, or to be more precise, this eyeball called "wet egg fetus".

Ji Ming speculated that after his death, this treasure might lead him to a new reincarnation.

However, because this was just a speculation, he did not end his life easily, but survived seriously in the pond, and through two years, he grew into a big grass carp.

Here, Ji Ming did not feel bored, dull, or even desperate and depressed because of being separated from modern civilization.

On the contrary, his mental state was very good and he found pleasure in fish life.

Different from human body, vision, diet and life, he never felt "bored of living" for two whole years.

After a while, he finally figured out why he was like that.

As a grass carp, he does not have to bear the responsibilities and obligations given by his family and society, nor does he have to worry about tomorrow's troubles or regret yesterday's failures. He is truly free.

Here, he only needs to think about two things - finding food and avoiding natural enemies.

As a grass carp with human thoughts, although he didn't understand why a grass carp's brain could undertake his own complex thinking activities, he obviously had huge advantages in finding food and avoiding natural enemies.

Yu had been living a peaceful life until now, when a huge crisis really emerged.

The high temperatures brought by the scorching heat have lasted for more than two months, and at least half of the water in this pond has evaporated.

With the reduction of living space and the shortage of food, the fish, shrimps, turtles and other animals in the pond became extremely restless.

The fish bully was becoming more and more aggressive and was frequently causing trouble for him.

Ji Ming knew clearly that he and Yuba were both at the top of the food chain in the pond. If he ate more, Yuba would have to eat less.

He was surprised that a fish could have such a sense of crisis, and didn't understand whether it came from instinct or wisdom.

The fish boss is not what worries him most. The hot and dry season is what worries him most.

If this horrible weather continues like this, he will be doomed.

At that time, if this precious eye that was formed from a wet egg doesn't work, then he will have wasted his second chance at rebirth in vain.

In the shrimp cave, Ji Ming was spending another difficult night.

When the sun rose again, there was still no sign of rain, and the temperature rose rapidly. The giant fish in the pond, the fish king, once again began a more thorough "fish and shrimp massacre". In the pond, fish and shrimp were almost extinct, or hiding deep in the pond. No one dared to show their heads, including Ji Ming who stayed in the shrimp hole.

The water level is dropping, and even at the bottom of the water, the temperature has risen to a level that is unbearable for fish and shrimp.

Ji Ming knew that when the water temperature rises, the metabolism of fish will speed up, greatly increasing their oxygen consumption.

In addition, the dissolved oxygen in the water will decrease, causing fish and other aquatic organisms to lack of oxygen and even die.

Without thinking too much, Ji Ming swam out of the shrimp hole decisively, quickly floated to the surface, opened his mouth and swallowed the air.

The moment Ji Ming surfaced, the water surface somewhere nearby visibly surged and a large number of bubbles emerged. His actions had obviously alarmed the fish boss.

The fish boss's tail is strong and powerful, like a propeller. With a slight swing, the mud and sand at the bottom of the pond roll into a ball.

"Oops!"

Ji Ming knew that the fish tyrant was targeting him, and was about to dive back into the shrimp hole when suddenly there was a loud explosion in the sky.

"Boom~"

The long-awaited raindrops fell, hit the water surface, and broke into seven or eight petals. What a thunderstorm.

Heavy rain poured down, and the schools of fish that escaped the "massacre" chose to float up, crowding on the small water surface, swallowing air and enjoying the refreshing rain.

The fish king was squeezed in among them, and he no longer had the ferocity he had just had.

Under the heavy rain, the water level rose rapidly and the temperature dropped quickly. The fish that swallowed the air soon dived down again and rested contentedly on the mud at the bottom of the water.

Only Yuba and the grass carp Ji Ming remained floating on the water.

"What is it looking at?"

Ji Ming felt that there was obviously a little more agility in the eyes of Yuba's big fish, just like an ignorant child.

It seemed to sense Ji Ming's observation. The fish eyes facing Ji Ming moved and looked straight at him.

Ji Ming was startled and thought to himself: "Is it really a spirit?!"

Yuba didn't pay much attention to him, but was more concerned about the rainstorm, or rather the intensity of the rain.

The incessant rain showed no signs of letting up and the water level had returned to its pre-drought level and was now beginning to approach the shore.

"Is it leaving the pond?"

Just as Ji Ming had this thought, the fish boss had already swam to the shore, jumping high from time to time, continuously observing the water conditions on the shore.

"Yes, it must want to leave here."

Ji Ming thought excitedly.

He didn't know why he was so excited. Perhaps it was because this spiritual fish made him realize that there was something unusual and unnatural in this world.

After a day and a night, the rain gradually subsided, but the water level completely exceeded the shore.

Yu Ba didn't wait any longer. He just glanced at Ji Ming who was also floating on the water, and then jumped towards the mound of earth on the west bank that was beyond the water.

Ji Ming hesitated for only a moment, then jumped high in the same way and hit his head on the pile.

Fortunately, the mound was not wide, and he rolled down easily with one hand and fell into a wild ditch on the opposite side.

"New sashimi, here I come!"

He was thinking excitedly, and the next second seven or eight hands reached out and pressed him into the mud at the bottom of the canal.

The owner of one of his palms that was pressing on the fish opened his cracked lips and shouted, "Uncle San, come here quickly, there is another fat fish here."

"Snapped!"

In a nearby channel, only three or five steps away, the fish boss was struggling violently.

Its fan-like tail swung wildly, knocking the two men who were trying to capture it into the canal. Then it jumped up in panic and flipped back into the pond in an instant.

The men who were knocked over quickly ran to the pile. They did not run to catch the fish tyrant, but to make sure that Ji Ming, the fat grass carp, would not escape.

"It's over!"

Ji Ming thought.

The next second, he felt something sharp piercing his belly, rip open his intestines.

At the same time, inside the fish's mouth, in the pupil of the precious eye called "Wet Egg Fetus Transformation", the word "fetus" gradually faded.

Shuiniaozhai, in a family’s home.

A midwife was delivering a baby in this family. She skillfully delivered a baby boy, cut the umbilical cord expertly, and gently wrapped the baby in a quilt.
