Chapter 29 Tsing Yi Taoist
"What kind of water monster?" asked Nanfeng suspiciously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The water monster is hiding under the ice, and no one has ever seen it. After eating the nest head of the south wind, the middle-aged man wanted to give something in return, "The dragon snake will lie dormant in winter, and should not hide under the ice to eat people and do evil, I guess the water monster should be some kind of big fish, they can see us walking on the ice during the day, and once they see a human figure, they will break through the ice and drag people into the water." ”
"Besides here, there are water monsters in other places?" asked Nanfeng.
The middle-aged man shook his head, "There are the most here, and there are fewer upstream and downstream, but the water there is turbulent, and the ice floe is very thin, which is unbearable to tread, and you can only walk this area to cross the river." ”
Nanfeng nodded, and then asked, "They won't attack us when they cross the river at night?"
"They hide underwater all the time, and it's not safe to cross the river even at night, but they can't see well at night, and dragging people into the water is not as accurate as during the day. The middle-aged man said.
Nanfeng didn't ask again, as the middle-aged man said, even if it is not safe to cross the river at night, to put it bluntly, it still depends on luck.
After eating the nest, the south wind went downstream, and found a sheltered dirt slope from the downstream to curl up and rest, he had been in a very hard hurry for a while, and he had to take a break before crossing the river.
In the evening, Nanfeng woke up, turned over and sat up, looked around the left and right, and found that there were many people gathered by the river, most of them carrying bedding on their backs and carrying their belongings in their hands, and they had to cross the river by walking on the ice after dark.
Nanfeng didn't go to a crowded place, and went downstream, those people gathered together to take care of each other in case of an accident, but in this case, once something happened, no one could help, rather than getting together, it was better to be alone, so that the goal would be smaller.
There were many people who had the same mentality as him, but none of them were as close to the downstream as the south wind, and the reason why the south wind dared to go near the thin ice area where the water was strong was because he was thin and weighed.
There are pros and cons to choosing a thin ice area to cross the river, the disadvantage is that the ice surface is in danger of breaking, and the advantage is that the water monster will not stay in the place where the water is turbulent, he can make such a decisive decision, thanks to Tian Yuanzi's dying teachings, everything has pros and cons, you can't be greedy for good things to occupy, as long as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, you can do it.
Before getting on the ice, Nanfeng thought about all the possible situations in his mind: how to travel, whether to walk or run, what if he slipped and fell, what if there were cracks in the ice?
After nightfall, some people tentatively stepped on the ice, and as soon as they started, the people behind immediately followed, and the south wind did not watch from the shore, and stepped on the ice with a blanket on his back.
The south wind uses a trot, the ice is five or six miles wide, and it is too slow to walk, but if you run too fast, it is easy to slip, and a trot is the most suitable.
At the same time as the trot, the south wind tilted his head to look at the crowd upstream, the crowd crossing the river was noisy and chaotic, many people fell down, and the people behind couldn't dodge and hit them and they would also fall, but although the scene was chaotic, no one fell into the ice cave.
Soon, all the people gathered by the river stepped on the ice, and at this time the south wind was in a relatively high position, and he had always maintained a high position, away from the crowd, and it was wisest to narrow the target.
Although hundreds of people stepped on the ice, none of them were attacked by the water monster, and just when Nanfeng thought that the water monster was not in this water, he suddenly found that the ice surface upstream near the north bank began to collapse, and many places collapsed, connecting the dots.
"Oh no, the water monster is going to cut off everyone's back road. The south wind was shocked.
At this time, it was already very dark, the light was unknown, and the water monsters could not specifically attack a certain target, so they adopted another way of attacking, cutting off the back road and connecting the pot end.
It is useless to simply cut off the back road, and the way forward must also be blocked, so that all the people on the ice will become turtles in the urn.
Sensing the danger, the south wind sped up, and the water monster blocked the back path and blocked the way from the front, and before that, it had to leave the middle area.
But what he didn't expect was that there were far more water monsters under the ice than he had imagined, blocking the back road and blocking the way at the same time, and the same situation appeared in front of the many ice caves behind them.
The crevasse in the ice where the monster was blocking the progress was very close to the south bank, and the south wind eagerly estimated that it was impossible to rush through it before the ice completely cracked.
Other people on the ice noticed the situation, and the crowd began to panic, running back and forth, left and right.
Nanfeng also panicked, but he didn't spin on the ice like the others, but continued to run forward, whether he ran forward or backward, there was a chance of survival, but if he spun around on the ice, he would definitely die.
After the two groups of water monsters carved two long cracks in the ice from east to west, they began to cut through the upstream and downstream again, and because the southerly wind was very far down, the transverse crack downstream did not contain him, but cracked northward from a dozen paces to the west.
Due to the close distance, Nanfeng saw the appearance of the water monster, and when the water monster hit the ice, it revealed a black-gray braincase, which was very similar to the head of a fish, but much larger than the head of a fish, and the exposed braincase alone was the size of a grinding disk.
The south wind forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and ran forward in fear.
After the ice surface was cut, the ice surface in the middle area began to sway and tilt, due to the large area, the tilting speed was very slow, at first everyone could barely stand, but as the inclination increased, the people on the ice began to slip and fall into the water.
The underwater water monster seems to think that there are too few people who fall into the water, and begin to rush to the top of the ice floe that has been cut, there are many water monsters, and the ice surface is quickly split apart after being impacted, and everyone has fallen into the water, shouting, screaming, and screaming, which is terrifying.
Nanfeng didn't dare to look back, he was afraid that his legs would be weak after watching that scene.
After sweating profusely on the beach on the south bank, the south wind dared to turn back, although the light was dim, you could still see that the river water that was several miles wide had been stained red with blood, pedestrians and a large amount of debris floating in it, and many unusually large round-headed black fish rolled from the water, wantonly biting, greedily devouring.
After a few glances, Nanfeng looked away from the bloody scene, looked around and around, and found that there were only seven or eight people who had arrived on the south bank, including him, and the rest of them all fell into the water.
Nanfeng wanted to help those people, but he couldn't do anything but turn away.
Before climbing the sand dunes on the south bank, a cyan figure flew from south to north, and the south wind tilted his head to look back, only to see a Taoist priest in a green sermon robe flying from the air towards the water monster.
Before the person arrived, the long sword behind his back was already unsheathed, and the sword was volleyed out of the air, attacking the round-headed black fish that was devouring people below.
The long sword used by this Taoist was far away from the black fish in the water, and the long sword itself did not touch the black fish, but the front end of the long sword emitted a long sword-shaped breath, and this sword-shaped breath was light purple, although the sword qi was thin but extremely sharp, and the breath reached, and the huge black fish was in a different place in an instant.
After killing a black fish, the Taoist in Tsing Yi reached down with his left hand, grabbed a person from the water in the air, and threw it on the ice downstream with his backhand......
