Chapter 178: Retreat

The vast majority of the fishermen are amiable and have helped Xiang Ji a lot. But there are also some of them who are resentful, just because Xiang Ji is more capable than them, he is not only strong and energetic, but also catches twice as many fish as them, how can this not make them red-eyed and hot.

"How is this good, Brother Xiang Ji died in the mouth of the water monster for the sake of us," said one of the men, dressed in dark blue coarse linen, anxiously.

The other people looked at each other, and they all showed a look of fear on their faces.

Even so, there were still two people who were secretly happy in their hearts, hoping that Xiang Ji would never come back, so as not to rob their business and make a living.

"Well, yes, if it weren't for Brother Xiang Ji, I'm afraid we would have ...... long ago," said one of the emaciated men, smugly.

He looked at the others as he spoke, and from time to time he pretended to wipe his tears with his hands.

However, his behavior really deceived others, and the man in the dark blue coarse linen cloth walked over and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Mourning is smooth, not only you, we are also sad!"

"Boom!"

At this moment, there was a loud sound of breaking water from the surface of the water, and I saw the water monster rush out from under the surface of the lake again.

Huge currents of water fell from mid-air, and the huge body of the water monster flipped over on the surface of the lake.

"Ahh The water monster is here again!" The thin man saw the huge body of the water monster at this time, and his face turned pale with fright in an instant.

Before the other four people could come to their senses, they stumbled towards the direction of Wuhuazhou, and there was an extremely panicked scream from their mouths.

The four people were stunned for a moment when they saw the water monster, and when they heard the screams of the thin man, they came back to their senses, and they all trembled all over, and after the thin man, the four of them also crawled away.

After jumping out of the lake, the monster's massive body turned in the air and burrowed under the surface of the lake again, and if one looked closely, it would be clear that the monster had its mouth open all the time, and a figure was standing in its mouth.

This person is the halberd that was bitten off by the water monster.

When Xiang Ji threw himself at the water monster, he jumped into its mouth, and because the water monster's mouth was full of fangs, Xiang Ji grabbed one of the fangs just as it was about to reach the water monster's throat, so as to avoid the danger of being swallowed by the water monster.

The water monster returned to the surface of the lake with Xiang Ji, thinking that Xiang Ji's ant-like human was not enough to keep it between its teeth.

But just when it was thinking, its mouth seemed to be blocked by something, and no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't close it.

No matter how much it struggled, it couldn't break free of what it was saying, which made it more and more crazy.

Xiang Ji held the two jaws in the water monster's mouth with one hand, and the other hand holding the axe kept slashing towards the water monster's mouth, and in an instant, the water monster's blood stained the surrounding water bodies red.

The pain and uneasiness caused the monster to lose its mind, and it kept diving down, slamming into the rocky arm beneath the surface of the lake, trying to knock the halberd off with the force of the impact.

But in the end, it was to no avail, Xiang Ji still clung to the fangs of the water monster, and no matter how hard it struggled, it would not help.

The surface of the hidden fog lake is tumbling layers of waves, and the fog has not yet dissipated at this time, just like a picture of "the dragon goes out to sea and the clouds are around".

Of course, no one dares to enjoy such a "beautiful view" at this moment.

Xiang Ji felt that his whole body was about to be washed away by the water body as if it was falling apart, coupled with the water monster's constant shaking of his body, Xiang Ji was shaken dizzy.

Even so, Xiang Ji barely managed to support himself and didn't let the water monster's teeth bite down.

"Click!" There was a crisp sound, and the water monster's fangs cracked, and Xiang Halberd swung down another giant axe, and the fangs cracked a few more.

But at this time, Xiang Ji found that the axe in his hand had stopped, and the handle of the axe was broken in two.

"Roar ......" The water monster let out a long scream, and the powerful gas in its body rushed out of its body, Xiang Ji didn't expect that this roar of the water monster had such great power, he was unsteady on his feet, and flew out.

Just as he was about to fly out, he grabbed the monster's fangs and flew his whole body upside down towards the monster's mouth.

The roar of the water monster lasted for a long time, and Xiang Halberd was exhausted, and finally the whole person rushed out.

Xiang Ji was thrown out of the mouth of the water monster and fell towards the shore of the lake, knocking down several large trees before his figure stopped.

The water monster let out another short, sharp roar, tossed a few times on the surface of the lake, and glanced in the direction of Xiang Ji from a distance.

When he saw the figure get up from the bushes, there was a look of horror in his eyes, and he didn't care about the pain of breaking his teeth, and fled without a trace.

The surface of the lake instantly returned to calm, leaving only a few pools of bright red blood mixed with the turquoise water, which was extremely obvious.

"Oops!" a painful sound came from the bushes, and Xiang Ji staggered up from the ground, "This beast almost threw me to death!"

After finishing speaking, he held his waist with his hand and rubbed it by the way.

Suddenly, he noticed something in his hand, looked down, and saw a fang, as long as his arm, appearing in his hand.

"Huh?" Xiang Ji showed a surprised look on his face, he was obviously holding an axe in his hand, how could it turn into fangs in the blink of an eye.

After thinking carefully about the scene just now, I remembered that the axe had already broken when he was blown down and flew out, and he had grabbed the fangs of the water monster at that time.

"Presumably this is the beast with fangs, not bad!"

Xiang Ji walked slowly to the lake, looking at the calm lake at this time, as if nothing had happened, if it weren't for the sawdust floating on the lake from fishing boats showing that something had indeed happened just now, he really felt like he was dreaming.

Thinking of the fishermen who had been with him day and night and died in the belly of the water monster, my heart suddenly felt sadness, and I thought that I had failed to avenge them, and I was not ashamed.

He suddenly remembered something, walked quickly to the lake, looked around, and in a few moments he found a wooden fishing boat anchored on the shore of the lake not far from him.

Xiang Ji didn't care about the injuries on his body, and limped over quickly, but he didn't find anyone else.

"The ship is still in good condition, presumably those uncles and uncles should leave safely!" Xiang Ji thought of this, and then let out a long breath.

"I didn't catch anything today, hey..." Xiang Ji looked at the empty fishing boat, and then looked at the big net three feet away from him, and couldn't help but sigh a few times.

"The fish didn't catch it, but lost an axe!" Xiang Ji muttered to himself as he picked up the huge net and walked towards the road from which he came.

Some time after he left, a bright light appeared in the dark mist of the lake......
