Chapter 177: The Lake Monster
When Xiang Ji was surprised, he saw that there were ships constantly coming out of the fog, as if he had encountered something big.
The fisherman's mouth croaked wildly, and Xiang Ji couldn't hear it clearly.
After a few blinks of an eye, when they got closer, Xiang Ji finally heard their words.
"Water monster, run away, the water monster is out!"
"Lake Monster!"
"Help!"
......
The panic was mixed with the sound of help.
"Water monster?" Xiang Ji was stunned in his heart, and looked around, the fog was still covering the surface of the lake, where did he see any water monster.
But the next moment, he saw a shocking scene.
The mist, as thin as milk, was split in half from the center of the lake in an instant, as if someone had slashed through it, and the waves several feet high swept away the fleeing fishermen from far and near, and the fishermen's boats swayed in the waves.
In a few moments, the boat that fell behind him was buried in the lake, and the fisherman who had been close to him was even more frightened, and rowed desperately to try to get away from the waves behind him.
"Not good!" Xiang Ji's heart sank, he couldn't watch these fishermen die in this lake.
He immediately pushed the fishing boats around him like water, and the fishing boats draught, and Xiang Ji couldn't wait to row in the direction of the fishing boats.
I saw that every time he swung the wood pulp, the boat broke through the water and traveled two feet away, dozens of times the distance that an ordinary fisherman could paddle in the water.
"Everyone, run over here!" Xiang Ji waved the wood pulp in his hand and beckoned everyone who had escaped.
But when Xiang Ji just slid halfway, a huge figure appeared behind the wave, and when Xiang Ji saw that figure, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and even forgot the action of swinging the pulp.
I saw that the huge figure was a giant python-like water monster, the water monster was covered with scales, two red eyes appeared in the thick fog, the narrow fangs exuded a cold evil aura, a halberd grew on the head, and even the sides of the body had huge fins.
It opened its mouth wide and bit down on the fleeing fishing boats.
"Boom!"
The waves were so strong that most of the fishing boats were instantly killed by the giant python, and the fishermen on the fishing boats naturally became the food in the belly of the water monster.
The remaining boats were also overturned by the huge waves, and the fishermen fell into the lake, and the strong sense of fear and desire to survive made them desperately swim towards the direction where the halberd was.
When Xiang Ji saw this scene, he couldn't help but turn his eyes red, most of the fishermen knew him, they went out to the lake to fish together every day, and even the place where they lived was close. Xiang Ji also got help from them in life, and even this fishing technique was taught by them.
Now the neighbors who get along day and night also died in the lake in the blink of an eye, how can this not make Xiang Ji sad and angry.
This matter can't be endured, even if there is a giant water monster on the other side, Xiang Ji's only thought is to blade the water monster in front of him and avenge the villagers.
Xiang Ji rushed to the boatman who fell into the water against the current, pulled them onto the boat one by one, and calculated, including Xiang Ji himself, there were exactly six people on the fishing boat.
"Xiang Ji, hurry up and go!"
"The water monster is coming again!"
......
The rescued boatmen were still in shock, and everyone's faces were as pale as snow, anxiously urging Xiang Ji to leave quickly.
Xiang Ji nodded to them and tried his best to control the fishing boat.
The fishing boat floated like a fallen leaf on the undulating surface of the waves, but no matter how turbulent the lake was, the boat still made its way steadily towards the shore.
The other five people were already so frightened that they climbed down, and only Xiang Ji stood at the bow of the boat, and the pulp in his hand seemed to be alive in his hands, and his technique was skillful.
Xiang Ji was already soaking wet, and he didn't know whether he was wet by the lake or his own sweat.
"Look, the monster is near!" said one of them, pointing to the lake not far behind him, his fingers trembling, his feet limp, and he collapsed on the boat like mud again.
The rest of the people looked at the water behind them, all terrified.
Xiang Ji stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look, and saw a huge black shadow swimming towards them quickly under the water.
Xiang Ji secretly screamed badly, and looked around the hull of the ship, there was only a long pole and an axe, which was a sycamore wood he had chopped in the jungle he was heading to. When he saw the water monster at that time, he did not forget to carry the long rod and axe with him, but he threw the huge net to the shore.
"Take this piece of wood pulp first!" Xiang Ji casually stuffed the oar in his hand to a fisherman, and immediately picked up the wooden pole with both hands and inserted it into the black cloth under the lake.
There was a dull sound of the wooden pole breaking when it entered the water, and the wooden pole hit the water monster, but there was no blood spilling from the water.
Xiang Ji looked closely, although the long pole pierced the water monster, but it was blocked by the scales on its surface, and the backbone could not advance for half a minute.
With the help of the reaction force, the hull pushed forward rapidly.
However, the speed of the water monster was so fast that the plane tree pole was bent instantly, and the water monster continued to get closer to the fishing boat.
Eventually, the poles were pressed like fireworks, and the sawdust drifted across the lake.
The water monster broke out of the water, still with its fanged mouth, and its two red eyes looked at the people on the fishing boat, as if the human beings were already the food in its mouth.
It leaned over and lunged at the six men on the fishing boat.
Xiang Ji picked up the Nabin axe on the fishing boat and stood at the bow of the boat, facing the water monster that pounced on him, his face was not afraid, but his palm held the axe tightly.
Wuzhang... Sizhang... Sanzhang...
Seeing the water monster getting closer and closer, the five boatmen were already curled up in the stern of the boat, their eyes tightly closed.
Xiang Ji is the only one on the fishing boat, holding an axe, awe-inspiring and fearless, as if he is the only one in this world, he stands in the waves, in the mist, proudly on the surface of the hidden fog lake.
Two feet!
When Xiang Ji was only two feet away from him, the whole person soared upwards and suddenly entered the giant mouth of the water monster, and at the same time, the fishing boat was like an arrow from Xuan, breaking through the lake and quickly heading towards the shore.
It turned out that at the moment when Xiang Ji jumped up, he exerted all his strength and gathered his strength under his feet, on the one hand, to help him jump, and on the other hand, he could also use the reaction force of the buffer to push the fishing boat away.
The monster misses its goal and burrows back under the surface of the lake again.
After a few breaths, the five boatmen walked through the Ghost Gate, and finally managed to escape from the clutches of the water monster with the help of Xiang Ji and successfully reached the shore.
The five of them climbed ashore and left the lake far away, for fear that the water monster would chase them.
They all looked at the surface of the lake, only to see that the water monster had fallen silent on the surface of the water and never came out, and the huge waves that had been caused by it gradually calmed down.
The five people looked at each other, and Xiang Ji was buried in the mouth of the water monster in order to save them.
Some people showed painful expressions, others showed regretful looks, and some people flashed a smile on their faces, and then they regained their calm, calm as the lake in front of them
