After these Jeleray fish gradually surfaced, they formed a school, their swimming movements becoming synchronized. They adjusted their body postures to maintain the group formation, resembling a wolf pack's collaborative hunting.
Xu Ying developed a deep understanding of these "freshwater wolves."
But soon, she discovered something else was being nudged up from the lake bottom!
Staring closely, Xu Ying realized that what was being pushed up by the fish school was actually a plastic panel.
This piece of plastic panel was pushed by the Jeleray fish to directly beneath the ice where Xu Ying was standing.
The lead grandmother Jeleray fish spoke up: [The panel is already beneath the ice layer; my children and grandchildren are holding it up from below.]
[If the ice cracks, my descendants will still be holding the plastic panel, lifting you up, so rest assured.]
