“既然到了鱼之谷,买一条怪鱼尝尝也是好主意。”
“可是谁会做鱼呢?”悠悠的目光从小伙伴的身上扫了一圈。
大家面面相觑,原来谁都不会做饭……
小虎妖勇生怕悠悠让他去买鱼,赶紧摇头说道,“不要看我,别说做鱼,我连碰都不敢碰那条怪鱼。”
勇紧张的表情,把大家都逗笑了。
“飞鱼,新打捞的飞鱼,谁想要,便宜卖了~”一个渔民吆喝着。
“飞鱼?!”仁的双眼又亮了起来,说道,“古书上好像说吃了飞鱼可以在水里喘气!也不知道是不是真的?”
智点了点头,说道,“据古飞书记载,飞鱼从一出生就不停地游泳,一直到死都不会有一刻停歇。但是它到底长什么样子,古书也没写。”
这次悠悠跟义可不敢贸然跑过去看了。他们跟着小伙伴们一起走到渔人那里,看到一张巨大的网里面,有无数手指那么大的、金色的小鱼在游动,模样很奇怪。悠悠随手捞起了一条小鱼放在手心,仔细一看,金色的小鱼鱼头象鸟头,身子是鱼,鱼鳍像翅膀,但没有爪子。
“这个鱼可好吃了,你们尝尝。”渔人说着,抓了一把飞鱼放进嘴里,“吧唧、吧唧”地嚼了起来,就好像在啃苹果。
悠悠本来还打算买点飞鱼,但是当他看到渔人的吃法,顿时感到毛骨悚然,竟然一点儿都不想买了。
渔人看他们摸了半天鱼也不买,相当不高兴,拽着悠悠就不让走,大声嚷嚷,“你是水晶宫派的吗?专门到我这里捣乱的,是吗?”
悠悠解释了半天,发现渔人竟然听不懂他说的话!原来黄鸟送给他们的仙药“万语通”只能让人听懂周围的语言,但是却不能交流。
这时就看到聚集的渔人越来越多,他们都拿着工具,朝着悠悠和小灵妖们凶狠地喊道,“他们特别古怪,肯定是水晶宫派来抢鱼的,抓住他们!抓住他们!”
这可急坏了悠悠!
就在你抓我,我推你的时候,悠悠一不小心,“噗通”一声,掉进了渔人的大网里,小灵妖们看到悠悠落水了,急得转身去救,一不小心也被渔人们拱下了水。小伙伴们在渔网里挣扎,小兔妖义不会游泳,刚想喊“救命”,谁知道她一张开嘴,还没来得及发声,就“咕嘟、咕嘟”地喝了好几口水!
小虎妖勇吓得大哭,谁知道他一张嘴,也“咕嘟、咕嘟”地喝了几口水,呛得他眼泪直流。
“义,勇,别怕,我来……了!”悠悠叫着。他是会游泳的,而且腰上还有拐杖的浮力,所以他并不怕水。然而,当他说话的时候,一个浪花打来,他也“咕嘟”一声,喝了口海水。奇怪的是,这海水不光是苦咸的,还有甜味?!伴随着海水的怪怪的味道,悠悠似乎感到嘴里还有什么别的滑滑的东西,一起咽了进去!他也来不及细想,朝义跟勇游了过去。
小长颈鹿妖知道大家被误会了,赶紧抖了一下紫色的舌头想要解释,没想到他一张嘴,也喝了一大口水!
“咦?!我可以在水里呼吸!”仁突然惊喜地说道,“我刚才不小心吃了条飞鱼,没想到我可以在水里呼吸!”
悠悠刚把义跟勇救起来,就听到了仁欣喜的叫喊声,他忽然反应过来,刚才和海水一起咽进去的,滑滑的东西,有可能就是飞鱼!

“Since we are already here, buying a fish to try would be a good idea.”
“The problem is, who here knows how to cook?” Yoyo asked scanning the faces of every single demon.
Everyone looked at Yoyo and smirked as of a way to say NUP.
Yong started to get a little scared so when Yoyo looked at him he added,“Don’t even think about asking me. I wouldn’t even touch the fish. YUCK!!!”?
Yong’s expression made everyone burst into laughter!????
Suddenly, there was a call,“Flying fish! Get your flying fish. Very cheap and fresh.” A person from Water Valley called out.
“Flying fish!?” Ren’s eyes were really excited now! He said,“In a tale, there was a saying that if you eat the flying fish, you would be able to breathe underwater. There was no recount that it was real.”
Zhi nodded and said,“In ancient history, flying fish start swimming from the first day born to when they die. They never stop for a rest in their whole lifetime. Nobody knows what they look like yet!”
Yoyo and Yi did not have the faith to rush in and look at the fish anymore so they went with the small demons to a small boat. Next to it was a massive net with tons and tons of golden fish. Yoyo dug his hand in the net and pulled out a small golden fish. It had a head like a bird, a fish body and even some wings but no legs!?
“These fish are very yummy, you should buy one.” The fisherman said. He took a handful of the flying fish and shoved it into his mouth. CRUNCH CRUNCH the sound he made sounded like he was eating an apple.
Yoyo was just about to buy it but when he saw the way that the fisherman ate the flying fish, he immediately had second thoughts.
When the fisherman saw that Yoyo lost interest, he got really angry and stopped Yoyo and friends. He shouted in their face,“Are you a spy from the Crystal umpire? Are you on purposely ruining my job? ARE YOU???!!!”
Yoyo was confused, when he spoke, the fisherman could not understand a word! It turned out that the potion the golden phoenixes gave them only allowed them to understand what others were saying but not speak the actual language.
Yoyo noticed that more and more water valley people came towards them angrily holding fishing gears. They cornered Yoyo and friends. One of them shouted,“Those people look very weird. They are definitely spies from the Crystal umpire. Catch them. Catch them!!”
Their big determination attitude made Yoyo very frustrated and panicked.
Just as they were going to catch them, Yoyo would try to push them back. Suddenly, Yoyo accidently stumbled into a fishing net SPLASH!!
When the small demons saw that Yoyo was in trouble, they rushed to help but stumbled as well and fell into the net SPLASH!!.
Yi who did not know how to swim and opened her mouth to scream “help”, but before she could say a word, she swallowed a gulp of water. Yong was so afraid that he was crying as soon as he tried to scream “help” too, but swallowed a gulp of water.
“Yi, Yong, I am coming to help!” Yoyo shouted. Yoyo knew how to swim. He also had the walking stick to keep him afloat. But after the said the rescue line, he drank two massive gulps of water. The weird thing was that the taste of the sea water was not salty but a bit sweet!!? On the mission to rescue Yong and Yi, Yoyo somehow managed to get a weird flat slippery thing in his mouth. Yoyo incautiously swallowed it and continued to rush to Yi and Yong!!
Zhi saw that they were in trouble so he opened his mouth and stuck out his purple tongue trying to tell the water valley people that they weren’t intruders. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he swallowed a gulp of water as well.
“What! I can breathe under the water!” Ren shouted,“I ACCIDENTLY ate a flying fish and I could breathe!!!?”?
Just as Yoyo saved Yi and Yong, he heard Ren’s shout and he got a weird feeling that the strange slippery thing he ate could be flying fish.
