Chapter 56: The Mermaid Doesn't Cry 6
The terrible fish head, half-sunk and half-floating on the surface of the river, opened its large mouth full of fangs in a demonstrative manner towards Master Gao, and let out a whining scream.
The water on the surface of the river began to tumble violently.
Master Gao let go of the hand holding the fish, and stared at the fish head motionless for a moment, then he swallowed the fish in his mouth, laughed twice, and said excitedly: "Lao Tzu just didn't eat enough, I don't want you to send it to the door yourself." ”
So saying, he leaned down and swooped down on the terrible fish's head with lightning speed.
The head that was half-floating on the water sank down sharply at the same time, only to hear a plop, Master Gao pounced, and before he could react, the whole person immediately sank into the river.
The water splashed on the surface of the river, and a large snow-white fishtail suddenly flung out of the water, drew a white arc in the air, and then snapped back into the river.
The white shadow swam back and forth a few times under the water.
Then Tsing Yi saw the terrible fish head with red hair floating out against the riverbank.
The white fish that had been hunted by the dead wood had long since been dragged down the river, and now there were only some fish that had been gnawed by Master Gao, except for the large pool of blood that had melted into the ice and snow.
Just when Tsing Yi wondered what the white fish wanted to do, the white fish stretched out its two strangely long forelimbs and grabbed the pieces of fish meat scattered in the snow back to his face.
It looked down and sniffed the fish in its palm, as if recognizing it as the same kind of meat, so it raised its head and opened its mouth to elongate its voice and scream.
Its cry was like a baby's loud cry, piercing people's hearts, making Tsing Yi on the side couldn't help but feel a heartbreak.
The water splashed on the surface of the river, and the tumbling became more and more intense.
Master Gao hasn't surfaced yet.
"Master......" Tsing Yi looked at the river surface that was churning like a pot of boiling water, and felt that something was wrong, so he turned his head and called Deadwood in a panic, "Is there anything strange in the river?" ”
As soon as she turned her head, she saw that Deadwood's eyes were straight and her expression was frantic, she seemed to be crying, but in the blink of an eye she seemed to be laughing, so she looked at the river and whispered, "Oh my God—oh my God—"
The sound of splashing continued, but the sound of the white fish crying suddenly appeared a few accents. The cries were intertwined, like the hysterical cries of countless babies.
Tsing Yi's heart suddenly shuddered, and then she stiffened her neck and slowly turned her head.
I saw that there were white afterimages everywhere on the river, and countless snow-white fish tails kept turning out of the water and falling back, and the wide translucent tail fin slapped the river with a rattling sound.
One after another, red heads surfaced, and as the undulating river floated up and down, their faces bulging outward like apes, and their mouths full of sharp teeth were half-open, and they let out a loud cry.
Seven or eight white fish crowded the river, stretching out their long forelimbs and using their claws to cut the snow on the bank, and then scrambled to stuff the snow into their mouths.
"They're all here, they're all coming—" Deadwood muttered in disarray, and with a movement of his body, he stumbled toward the river, "Whitefish—Whitefish—"
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Tsing Yi was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Deadwood's arm and dragged her and shouted, "Master, wake up, you can't go there!" ”
The dead wood that was reading the white fish in a loud voice was as if he hadn't heard it, and still walked towards the group of white fish.
"Master-master-" Tsing Yi pressed half of his body on Deadwood's arm, pulling her to the end, but he didn't expect Deadwood's strength to be so great, and even Tsing Yi was dragged forward slowly.
Seeing that he couldn't stop the dead wood, Tsing Yi saw that the two of them were getting closer and closer to the river full of white fish, and he was anxious for a while, and raised his head and shouted in the direction of the inn: "Suxi-Suxi-"
The white fish in the river became more and more numerous, and countless white tail fins and red bright heads rose and fell densely on the surface of the water, and the cry became louder and louder.
It was only less than a zhang away from the river, and Tsing Yi called Su Xi's name loudly, panicking and not knowing what to do.
If you let go, the dead wood will surely fall into the river; If you don't let go, then I'm afraid you will have to be taken into that disgusting and terrible pile of white fish together......
To put it or not to let it go is a dilemma.
"Su Xi-" Tsing Yi, who had no time to think about it, could only continue to call Su Xi hoarsely.
The door of the inn finally snapped open, and a red robe rushed out from behind the felt curtain.
Tsing Yi was suddenly overjoyed, thinking that Su Xi had heard her scream and came out to help, but she immediately found out that there was a large wave of monsters following closely behind, running out as if they had escaped with their respective prototypes.
After the demons escaped from the gate, they were not in a hurry to leave, but stopped in the snow one after another, and raised their heads and roared at the sky.
Su Xi, who led the rush out, immediately let go of his hand when he stopped, and let Xiuxiu, who was frozen in his arms, tremble and fall to the ground. Immediately, her face changed, and her whole body seemed to be pulled by something, and she was thrown back to the door of the inn at once.
I'm afraid something happened in the inn. Tsing Yi looked at the group of guests who were howling at the sky in a panic, and said in his heart, otherwise the guests would not have escaped together in such a panic.
The white fish in the river also seemed to smell some danger, and they were all silent at once, and then they swung their tails vigorously and dived to the bottom of the river one after another.
At the same time, the dead wood that was barely dragged by Tsing Yi suddenly took shape and stopped on the spot.
"Master, you've finally come back to your senses." Tsing Yi hurriedly pulled the dead wood back with his backhand, and said hurriedly as he pulled, "Hurry up and stay away from the river." ”
"No—I have to go find the white fish—" Deadwood's voice was full of insistence, and Tsing Yi was stunned when he heard it.
Then she saw Deadwood turn back to herself and smile seductively, her red lips slightly opened, and she whispered, "Thank you—"
"Thank you...... Tsing Yi was shocked by the bloody smile of the dead wood, and was about to ask her why, when suddenly her eyes turned black, and she couldn't see anything for a while.
But the howls of the monsters are still clearly discerned, as is the sound of the river churning as the white fish leave.
In the darkness, she suddenly felt that her back was pushed by someone, and suddenly her body shook, and she staggered two steps under her feet, and rushed straight forward.
I only heard a plop, and the pushed down Tsing Yi plunged headlong into the river. She stretched out her hand and scratched it a few times unconsciously, and in her panic she seemed to have grabbed a person's ankle.
At the same time, she felt two hands coming out from under the river, grabbing her shoulders with great strength, and pinching her shoulders with a tingling pain.
The icy water engulfed her in one fell swoop.
The river poured into her ears and nose, and in the darkness she could see or hear nothing, and she gritted her teeth, feeling nothing but the clammy coldness of her bones, the tingling of her lungs, and the feeling of suffocation.
In an instant of despair, her mind flashed Kurosaburo's smiling face.
"Three—"
The silent cry for help, accompanied by a series of bubbles, quickly disappeared into the river, and the cold river water took the opportunity to pour into her mouth, and she kicked her legs in pain, and her consciousness fell completely from the air like a kite with a broken string.
#
"Please watch out for the water under the blue lake, those beautiful elves-"
The low chant of vicissitudes echoed back and forth in the ears, and there was a faint sound of uninterrupted running water.
The whole body was cold, and Tsing Yi trembled a few times in the haze, and finally opened his eyes coughing.
In her field of vision, there was a miserable white fluorescence, and she seemed to be in a water cave, with countless slender stone pillars hanging straight from the top of the cave.
Not far away, several huge rocks form a large circle. The rocks don't seem to be climbed by living creatures on a regular basis, and the humidity is so that the walls are almost covered with slippery moss.
Beneath the rocks was a large body of water, from which the sound of rushing water was constantly coming.
"You're awake."
Hearing the sound of dead wood, Tsing Yi suddenly shook his body and immediately turned his head.
I saw the dead wood cloak sitting on the side, a half-open ebony box and a dagger in front of her, and she wiped a sharp willow knife with the corner of her clothes, and the blade of the knife refracted a cold white light under the fluorescent reflection.
She still looked very energetic, except for the stray shoulder-length black hair and wet clothes on her body, she was considered intact.
Tsing Yi was stunned, for some reason she was always a little uneasy, she tried to sit up, only to feel sore, gritted her teeth and endured it, and then asked in a dumb voice: "Master, why are we here?" Where is this again?"
"You suddenly fell into the river and grabbed my feet in the confusion......" Deadwood carefully withdrew the knife into his arms and said calmly, "It just so happened that the group of white fish was about to return to the nest, so they brought us back together." This is their lair, and if I guess correctly, it should be in the upper reaches of the Wakasa River. ”
Tsing Yi was taken aback when he heard this, the nest of the white fish ...... Doesn't that mean that those terrible strange fish are here?
Tsing Yi glanced at the dead wood with a panicked expression, and seeing her unafraid look, after thinking about it, he cautiously leaned under the rock where they were.
A few snow-white big fish tails were swaying slowly in the water, and along those fish tails, Tsing Yi saw them exposing their disgusting upper bodies to the water, one by one, as if they were waiting for something, so quietly climbing a big rock erected in the water without moving.
Suddenly a piece of flesh flew out from behind the rock, and as if it were a signal, a white color immediately jumped up from the water, and then grabbed the piece of meat with its long forelimbs.
More pieces of meat were thrown, and the other waiting whitefish jumped up after them.
For a time, it stirred up countless splashes.
After Tsing Yi saw the white fish catch the piece of meat, he opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit down on the piece of meat impatiently.
The color of those pieces of meat is pink and white, crystal and delicate, which makes Tsing Yi feel very familiar.
Just as she was wondering, the dead wood behind her suddenly walked over, leaned over and whispered to her, "You know, they are eating mermaid meat right now."
