The boat "clicked" suddenly, and Junko said, "Didn't you find the reef?" ”

Yuno said, "There was nothing there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The two looked at each other, and Junko immediately turned on the searchlight in front of the boat, and the blinding light suddenly spread on the surface of the water. Yuno had sharp eyes and said, "Look! I saw a huge black shadow suddenly dive into the water.

Junko hurriedly turned the searchlight at it, but the thing was so deep that she didn't have time to see what it was.

Junko shouted, "All out!" There's something in the water. ”

Lu Qingchen came out of the cabin, and he also brought out the oil lamp, and the light of the oil lamp was even broader, instantly making some shadows of the dark environment around him. There was also something fluttering around the ship.

And these things are very small in size, far from the legendary river (pig.

Lu Qingchen said: "What is it?" ”

Shunzi said: "Don't be afraid, this is a water monkey, although it will drag people into the water and drown, but no fisherman has ever seen it, and it will swim by groups at night." ”

Lu Qingchen put the oil lamp against the water, only to see the skinny monster slammed into the bottom of the boat.

He didn't see much of it, only to see that it was covered in turquoise scales, and its body looked like a mermaid, but the human part was longer, and the head was large, deformed, and terrifying.

The water monkey makes a wonderful call, "Squeak, squeak!" "It's like the cry of a baby, and it may be that they occasionally lure the child to the river, and then drag it into the water and drown.

Junzi said: "Steady, don't panic!" They're just passing through here, not trying to attack us. ”

Lu Qingchen said: "Then why are they so flustered?" ”

The three of them realized the danger, Junko quickly turned off the lights, Yuno threw the anchor down, Lu Qingchen deliberately left the oil lamp in the bow of the ship, and they locked the cabin behind them, leaving only a thin slit.

The water monkeys screamed and rushed past the boat, and the water was dead silent again.

The hazy moonlight hit the river, and although it was not clear, I could dimly see a piece of dead wood swimming towards the boat.

Yuno said, "Wow, how can the wood move?" ”

Junko said: "The wood can't move, there must be some behemoth pushing it." Lu Qingchen also added: "It was precisely because the water monkey was chased by it that it fled towards the boat in a panic." "The wood is still moving, it's really a huge driftwood, nearly two meters in diameter and about five meters long, so it must have two hundred pounds......

To be able to push such a piece of wood, the size of the thing under the water is definitely not small.

The huge ripple kept swimming towards it, and suddenly stopped at the bow of the ship. The rotten wood stood still seven feet in front of the ship, not moving, not even the ripples of a smile.

Yuno said, "Why don't you go out and have a look." As soon as she got up, Lu Qingchen grabbed her hand.

Yuno said: "You are talking, won't you let me go out?" ”

Lu Qingchen had been looking at other places, and although he didn't answer for a while, after a few minutes, he said, "It's too strange." ”

Junzi said: "It's really strange, but after all, this is a big mountain and a wild river, and it's not uncommon to have driftwood, right?" ”

Lu Qingchen said: "No, it's not about this matter, if the driftwood is generally pushed, it will slide forward several meters further due to inertia, right?" ”

Yuno listened carefully, blinked his bright eyes, and said, "Well, that's right." ”

Lu Qingchen said: "But it suddenly stopped just now." ”

There is no inertia, like a pair of delicate hands pressing it under the water, and it suddenly stops in front of the boat, which looks mysterious and weird.

Lu Qingchen took a closer look at the broken wood, it was not really broken.

Although the surface is uneven and rough, it has a color that does not belong to wood...... In the moonlight, it shimmered with golden brilliance, like the sharp teeth of a tiger. There was even moss growing on the surface of the wood, the kind of long-legged moss that was shiny, as if the wood had been drifting for a long time, or had been covered with moss on the land.

Junko said: "The typhoon the day before yesterday was extremely violent, so it didn't break at that time, and it's normal to drift in the river." ”

Lu Qingchen said: "Then let me ask you, what kind of tree is this?" ”

"What tree?"

"Elm, poplar, sycamore...... Don't all trees have their own characteristics? What kind of tree is this, what kind of wood? ”

"It's ......," Junko couldn't say. Yuno looked at such driftwood and said, "There are a few oak trees, but they are not ...... Oh, maybe after a few days of soaking, it won't have its original appearance, and the hell knows what kind of tree it is. ”

Lu Qingchen said: "Have you ever heard of a kraken in Japan called "Isofu"? ”

"Nope. What does it matter? ”

Lu Qingchen said: "It is rumored that Jifu is a huge and devouring kraken, which often lies dormant at the bottom of the sea, waiting for the passing ships to throw themselves into the net. ”

"Heh, they're not stupid, how could they hit the sea monster in the mouth?"

Lu Qingchen said: "Because the sea monster's tongue looks like a small island where it can stay, and its upper jaw is like an ancient mountain, many ships are rushing to the island, and it will close the mouthful, bite the boat apart, and then attack those shipwrecked sailors." ”

Yuno said disdainfully: "You pig's head, this is a myth, how can it be used in reality?" ”

Lu Qingchen said: "In reality, there is a creature called "snapping turtle", its tongue is like a long pink flesh worm, it usually waits in the pile of dead leaves with its long mouth, and once a fish approaches, it closes its mouth and swallows the fish into its belly. ”

Could this driftwood of unknown origin be such a trap?

In fact, in this dark and deep water, there are bloodthirsty and huge water monsters lurking? With goosebumps, they huddled in the cabin and stared at the driftwood's every move.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, they were exhausted.

Junko said: "The thing you said is called a snapping turtle, how long can it wait for a fish?" ”

Lu Qingchen said: "As long as it selects a pile of dead leaves, it may not move for a week." ”

Junko hissed and said, "Are we going to wait here for a week?" Not to mention a week, we can't wait another few hours. Lu Qingchen noticed his words, he couldn't wait for a few hours, what did this mean?

But at this time, Yuno couldn't help it, she picked up the fishing gun and kicked open the hatch.

- "Do you want to eat me?" Come on! With the pull of the trigger, the huge, sharp fishing gun slammed into the driftwood.

There was no movement.

Not even the slightest ripple was shocked.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Yuno scratched Lu Qingchen's nose, "Hey, what about the kraken you are talking about?" ”

Lu Qingchen gently pushed her hand down and said, "I didn't expect it to be a false alarm, but it's better to be like this." Junko sighed, she didn't expect them to stop for so long on a piece of rotten wood, so she reached out to untie the fishing gun.

Of course, the fishing gun can be unwound from the muzzle, but this is a very precious thing for the average fisherman, and the straight has only about four rounds to spare. And the heads of these four guns were different, the one with the zigzag was used for a fatal blow, and the one with the barb was used to hunt big fish, and he counted the remaining hooks, and said, "Oh my God, I used the barb, and it would be troublesome to pull it off." He reached for it, but he didn't notice the large, pitch-black shadow underneath.
