The next morning, facing the morning sunset, Yang Zi and his party began to drive along the banks of the Mekong River after getting ready to go.

They found an ideal fishing spot in a river bend a few miles away from the city of Nakhet in Shawan.

It is a mountainous terrain with the Mekong River winding around a bay along several peaks, making the water open and gentle, and the water is deep enough.

After checking the terrain, Yang Zi and the others deduced that there should be a lot of fish living here, and as for whether there were any stingrays they wanted to catch, they could only try their luck.

After parking their cars a short distance from the river, everyone walked to the river bank with their fishing tackle and equipment, and then picked a place to start making preparations.

This time for fishing, Yang Zi and they didn't use nest material, because although the water surface here is calm, there are actually a lot of undercurrents underwater.

The nest will be washed away quickly if it is beaten, so it can't play a big role.

Taking advantage of the stingray's preference for small fish and shrimp, they hung a string of market-bought fresh fish on the hook and threw three tow rods into the water in turn.

In the following leisure time, a few people packed up a few hand rods and caught small fish on the river bank for a while.

Because he had been thinking about the wedding, Yang Zi seemed very absent-minded when he was fishing today.

Qian Gang on the side saw that he was either running fish and pulling an empty rod, or he simply didn't change the bait when it was gone, and a smile of happiness (Brother Pig) appeared on his face from time to time, so he guessed with interest what was on the other party's mind.

"Yang Zi, what's wrong with you? It's the same as having sleepwalking?

You tell me the truth, isn't it that you and Qiaoqiao, the two of them are close to a good thing? . ”

Seeing Qian Gang squeezing his eyebrows and coming over, and then whispered to himself to inquire about the news, Yang Zi shook his head with his eyes turned to the sky, indicating that he had nothing to say.

I just pulled up the fishing rig that had been stationary for a long time because there was no bait in the water, and after changing the bait, I concentrated on fishing.

His silent appearance made Qian Gang more interested in this topic.

"Hehe, hey, there must be something wrong with refusing to admit it.

When you got back to the hotel last night, you started to feel uncomfortable, and you didn't feel like you were making trouble.

Looks like I'm going to have to get you a big red envelope sooner. ”

After listening to Qian Gang's analysis, Yang Zi glanced at the other party very speechlessly, you can guess so much, why didn't you become Sherlock Holmes?

The two chatted like this, and the fishing rod in their hands was not empty.

Although there is no movement on the three towing rods, the hand rod has gradually begun to have fish feelings.

The fish were not very big, but everyone still enjoyed the process.

After fishing for several hours, although the big fish still did not catch, the small fish were enough for them to have a good meal.

The time was gradually approaching noon, and Yang Zi and the others began to wonder if they should go back to finish lunch first, and then continue fishing.

Everyone was talking about this on the shore, but they saw a small fishing boat floating down in the upper reaches of the river.

It is a simple fishing boat made of bamboo rafts, and although it has power, it does not start, but slowly floats on the water.

The owner of the boat, a lean man of about forty or fifty years of age, was packing up his fishing nets and throwing them into the water from time to time.

In order to prevent the fishing rig in the river from being caught by the other party, Yang Zi and the others began to shout and gesture when he was far away.

The other party obviously didn't understand their words, even a few words of English.

However, after glancing at the few fishing rods erected on the shore, he quickly understood the meaning of the few people who had come over.

So this time, I put away the fishing nets and didn't clean them up, but put them aside and took out half a pack of cigarettes from my pocket, and then sat on the raft and lit them, apparently planning to take a little rest during this free time.

Seeing that the other party had understood what he meant, Yang Zi and the others were also relieved, and arched their hands at the other party with a smile to express their gratitude.

"Yang Zi, Yang Zi, look over there, what's floating on the water over there?

I look like it's the stingray we want to catch this time?"

Suddenly, Qian Gang, who was sitting on his fishing position, seemed to have found something on the water in front of him, pointed to a place not far from the fishing boat, and greeted Yang Zi loudly.

Yang Zi glanced at the water he pointed to, hey!

I saw a pale yellow creature more than a meter square floating on the undulating water.

The edges of it are submerged in water, so you can't see the actual size, but in terms of color and shape, it looks a little like a stingray.

The body is very flat, and the wet skin has many spots of different shades of color, which are at least seven or eight points similar to the back of the stingray they see on the Internet.

But isn't the stingray a demersal fish?

Besides, the body of this thing seems to have a somewhat strange shape.

How to put it, it's like it has no bones, and its whole body is as soft as an octopus. ”

Deng Gang sat in the middle, so he quickly saw the creature Qian Gang said, and after he took a closer look, he suddenly became a little suspicious.

"It's a little different, the stingray has a bulge on its body, and there are two holes at the top.

This creature is flat, and it can rise and fall with the waves, but it looks like a blanket, probably not a stingray. ”

Yang Zi also saw it at this time, and from a distance of forty or fifty meters, his eyesight could clearly see the details of the creature.

But this strange thing, unlike any creature he knew, gave him a very uncomfortable feeling when he looked at it.

The three of them were discussing the type of unknown creature, but they found that the other party was getting closer and closer to the fishing boat, and Yang Zi hurriedly beckoned the fisherman sitting on the boat to get up.

Because the other party may be greedy for coolness, his feet are stretching out in the river at this time.

But if the unknown creature was really a stingray, it would be very easy to get hurt.

You must know that the stingray is an animal that has a deadly weapon, that is, its tail.

The spikes on its tail can easily cut and penetrate human bodies, and it carries a terrible toxin.

If you are accidentally pricked, the temporary severe pain is secondary, and if it drags on for a long time, it may even be life-threatening.

This has already set a precedent on the Internet, so Yang Zi and the others looked at the unknown creatures that were getting closer and closer to the fishing boat, and couldn't help but start to be secretly anxious for the boatman.

When the other party saw several strangers on the shore, he kept pointing to his side and shouting loudly, thinking at first that he was afraid that he would affect the fishing rod.

He hurriedly waved his hand towards Yang Zi and the others, but gradually, he also noticed that something was wrong.

The expressions of those people had become more and more excited, and their hands kept making gestures downward, as if to ask him to pay attention to the bottom of the water here.

What's underwater? He poked his head out curiously and looked down.

Hearing the sound of water, a yellow figure quickly approached, and then, like a python, broke through the water and entangled the boatman's bare feet.

Before he could react, he was instantly pulled into the water by the creature on his feet.

Yang Zi on the side saw it clearly, the boatman was dragged away by the creature they saw in front of them.

And just when a few people were stunned, the other party had fallen into the water and disappeared.

"Poof!"

Seeing this scene, Yang Zi's first reaction was to save people quickly, so he jumped into the water without thinking about it, and then quickly swam towards the water.

"Brother Yang, be careful! Don't be pricked by the tail of that stingray. ”

Qiaoqiao saw that Yang Zi began to risk his life again, and hurriedly reminded the other party loudly, for fear that something would happen to him.

"Qiaoqiao, don't shout, that thing just now wasn't a stingray.

It's not clear what it is, but it doesn't seem to be as simple as we think. ”

Deng Gang on the side looked a little solemn, he had been at the water's edge for so many years, and he had never seen or heard of this creature.

The moment the other party appeared just now, he clearly saw the strange-shaped suckers on the belly of the creature after it turned over.

"yes, when that thing was turned over just now, I saw that it seemed to have a lot of mouths on its belly, and it was densely packed with strange people.

What the hell is this thing, I've never seen it before. ”

Qian Gang also noticed something abnormal, he agreed with Xia Denggang's opinion, and then several people watched Yang Zi dive into the water together, and couldn't help but secretly start to worry about him.

In this section of the Mekong River, as long as it is not the flood season, the visibility under the water is relatively good.

Yang Zi looked in the water for a while, and soon saw a very strange figure in the water more than three meters in front of him.

He pounced on him, and the scene in front of him suddenly made him a little creepy.

I saw that the boatman who had fallen into the water in front of him had been completely wrapped by the unknown creature at this time.

The other party looked at the body that was only more than one meter square on the surface of the water, and after stretching out under the water, it was actually more than two meters long.

At this time, it had already tightly wound the boatman, if it weren't for the strange entanglement body that still shook from time to time, Yang Zi really couldn't judge the boatman's life and death.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Yang Zi didn't care so much.

He swiped his hands, and the whole person leaned over in an instant.

Looking at the strange creatures and boatmen close at hand, Yang Zi really felt a little at a loss, so he could only grab one edge of the creature with his hand, and then quickly swam towards the water.

As soon as he touched the other party's body, Yang Zi only felt a slippery and greasy touch coming, which made him very unable to use his strength.

Moreover, inside the edge of the creature, there seems to be something gnawing at his finger, but because his defense is too high, he is directly immune to it.

Since he couldn't hurt himself, Yang Zi's heart was relieved, and as soon as he struggled with his feet, the whole person quickly floated towards the water with the creature in his hand.

His position just now was not very deep, and after this effort, he swam above the water in two or three seconds.

Looking at the strange creature in his hand, Yang Zi thought for a while and quickly swam towards the bamboo raft that was only ten meters away from him.

At this point, less than a minute had passed since the boatman fell into the water, so he did not lose consciousness. After feeling that someone outside was saving him, the other party began to mumble something inside.

The problem is that their words are different, Yang Zi can only swim to the edge of the bamboo raft helplessly, and then after throwing such a big bump on it, he also jumped on the boat.

Up to this point, the strange creature had not moved at all, and it did not care that it was completely exposed to the sun, but continued to haunt the boatman, as if it had no intention of letting go.

Yang Zi looked at the thing that was still motionless and thought about it, and then reached out to break the other party.

But he had barely begun to break it halfway through when the boatman cried out in pain, as if the creature had been completely attached to him, and if he broke it, it would be like tearing his flesh.

Yang Zi, who was helpless, saw that this method did not work, and he was afraid that the boatman would suffocate if he dragged it for a long time, so he could only take out a sharp dagger more than ten centimeters long from his waist and carefully cut it on this creature.

This knife was bought when he was in Luang Prabang, and he bumped into it at the time, and then remembered the time when he suffered a loss in the Qiqi River, so he bought it casually, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

The sharp blade of the dagger easily cut through the skin of this creature, and Yang Zi did not cut too deep for fear of hurting the boatman inside.

He proved right, and after less than two slashes, he pierced the strange creature as a gushing of pus and blood.

The thickness of the other party's entire body is not even five centimeters, but the amount of blood in it is amazing.

With Yang Zi's stroke, the blood was like cutting berries, and it was left everywhere at once.

With this stroke, the creature that had not moved until now finally reacted.

After feeling the pain coming from its body, it trembled a few times, and then slowly let go of the wrapped boatman, and slid into the water quickly at the moment of Yang Zileng's god, and soon disappeared.

The source of danger was gone, but Yang Zi was still unconscious, he looked at the boatman in front of him who was covered in bruises, and only felt a sense of trembling instantly occupy his mind.

The boatman who was saved at this time had no blood on his face, no good flesh on his body, and all kinds of wounds large and small all over his body.

And what is extremely strange is that there is no trace of blood on all his wounds, and the white oozing skin and flesh are exposed on the surface, giving people a creepy feeling at a glance.

As if sensing that he had been saved, the boatman opened his eyes tremblingly, and after looking left and right in panic, he repeated a word in his mouth.

“#@%~*？”

Yang Zi couldn't figure it out after listening to it for a long time, so he could only run to the stern of the boat to start the motor, and then sail towards the shore.

While beckoning Qiaoqiao and them to call the police and ambulance, he also silently practiced the equipment skills of the boatman twice, and finally rescued the other party from a dying state.
