Chapter 51: Mountain and Lake Monster 2
This mountain lake in Peach Village is called Ghost Lake, and it is rumored that several villagers have drowned here, or even disappeared inexplicably, and some people say that there are water ghosts in the water, so it is commonly called the name of "Ghost Lake". Not to mention the things on the old calendar, there was a major accident a few years ago, two children secretly drowned while swimming here, one of them was recovered from the body, and the other has not been found.
The people of Taoxiang Village are not stupid, and they wasted a lot of effort to release the lake water and turn the entire ghost lake upside down, but they still didn't find anything, and finally invited a mage to do a ritual and turned the page.
Some people once wanted to destroy the ghost lake, but this required a lot of money, and it was even more difficult for the villagers to make a choice, this ghost lake was the only storage water source in Tao Village, and hundreds of acres of cultivated land were indispensable, so the plan to destroy the ghost lake was not approved.
Over the years, Taoxiang Village has strictly forbidden all people to play in the ghost lake, especially children, who have children, adults often have a lesson, ordering them not to go here to play in the water, and the ghost lake 'demonization', but it can indeed scare some children.
However, a child's temperament can not be curbed with a few lessons. Today happened to be the weekend, a few idle children quietly gathered together to come to the ghost lake to fish, but on the way they couldn't bear the loneliness, several mental struggles, these newborn calves are not afraid of tigers The children stripped naked and went into the water to play, and it didn't take long for a drowning incident to occur.
According to several children who swam ashore, the child was dragged into the water by something, and there was still a lot of movement at that time.
Li Mang was talking on the shore and didn't know it, but at this time he quickly came to the middle of the lake and sank under the water. However, the depth of this ghost lake made him secretly frightened, it had sunk a full ten meters, and he couldn't even touch the bottom.
You can see things when you open your eyes underwater, but this will hurt your eyes, but Li Mang knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he gritted his teeth and opened his eyes. Although the physique is not weak, when the lake water presses on the eyeballs, the eyes still have a dull pain. But human life is at stake, and Li Mang can't take care of these anymore, so he can only endure the pain.
At the same time, the scene in the lake was also captured by him within a few meters, which showed that the water quality of this ghost lake was still very clear, although it could not be compared to the Liji water at all.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Li Mang continued to go deeper, and now it was already pitch black, and it could be seen that it was already the bottom of the lake, which made Li Mang feel a little comforted. If he went deeper, even if his body could resist it, his eyes would not be able to withstand the strong water pressure.
There was silt, and the bottom of the lake was already hazy, and Li Mang could only see the range of two or three meters in front of him, which caused great trouble to his search, but he didn't dare to slack off.
"Rustling ......"
The strange noise coming from the front made Li Mang freeze his body suddenly, as far as he knew, he was the only one who dived to the bottom of the lake, and it was difficult for other villagers to have this ability, after all, the gap in ability was obvious. Can...... What is it that is making such a big noise in front of you? His heart turned sharply, and at the same time, Li Mang was still slowly lurking in the past.
Fish? Probably not. This is also strange, although there are many fish in this lake, but there are not a few big ones, Li Mang made a bold judgment, what was the big fish eaten.
Soon, a black shadow appeared in Li Mang's eyeliner, the black shadow was very long, two meters long, like a snake, and this seemed to be just a tail, and the other was inserted in the water, so that Li Mang couldn't see what it was for a while.
As he approached, Li Mang could see more clearly, this was indeed a snake's tail, but it was very thick, and he might not be able to grasp it with one hand, among which the scales and armor were distinct, and it was actually flashing with a pitch-black essence in the water. Li Mang understands that this is a symbol of age.
"What the hell is this?" Li Mang was a little hesitant, if he was on land, he might not be afraid of anything, but this is underwater, his strength is greatly reduced, not to mention, even the stay time can't be too long, and now after more than ten years of cultivation, he is far from being able to breathe for a long time.
But at this time, there can be no more hesitation, otherwise the child's life will not be guaranteed, Li Mang gritted his teeth fiercely, suddenly swam forward quickly, and grabbed its tail with his bare hands, and pulled it up hard!
"Whoa!"
The mud was rolling, and Li Mang didn't know what he pulled out, but quickly swam up to it. There was too much silt in this area, which had seriously interfered with his vision, and Li Mang had to move the battlefield to a place with clearer water, otherwise he would suffer a lot.
"Whew!"
A sound wave like a tiger's cry reached Li Mang's ears, which surprised him, and then the tail in his hand suddenly struggled hard, although Li Mang grabbed it very tightly, he only felt a pain in his palm, and then he was broken free by the unknown water monster.
"Whoa!"
The sound of breaking water struck, causing Li Mang's muscles all over his body to tense, and at the same time, he opened his eyelids to resist the discomfort of his eyes, and finally vaguely saw the shape of the water monster.
The tiger head with a large plate, but with the body of a dragon, claws, and a tail like a snake, this is an extremely peculiar creature, Li Mang is sure that he has not seen it in reality, but he has a vague impression of it in his memory, as if he has seen it.
But Li Mang couldn't think much about it at this time, because the other party had already swam over quickly, and he could see that the water was his territory, and the speed was amazingly fast, and he opened the tiger's mouth, revealing two sharp tiger teeth.
To Li Mang's surprise and delight, the water monster's front paws were indeed holding a naked child, who was already unconscious, and whether there was still a sound could not be distinguished for the time being. But no matter what, Li Mang had to rescue him, and he had to be fast, so he didn't dodge, just secretly charged his fist.
"Boom......" is approaching.
"Poof......" Li Mang also suddenly punched. Although the water of the lake had greatly reduced his strength, the amount of strength he had cultivated for more than ten years was still very amazing.
"Bang!"
"Whew!"
Perhaps he never expected the weak prey to have such strength, and the water monster let out a scream in pain, and was a little dizzy.
"Bang!"
Li Mang's other punch followed, injuring the water monster again, and its dizzy head made its movements no longer agile, and it was about to sink down.
Li Mang took the opportunity to snatch the child he was holding, swung his feet hard, and quickly swam upstream.
"Whoa." Li Mang quickly surfaced, and first lifted the child in his hand out of the water with one hand, so that he could take a deep breath of turbidity and spit out some of the lake water that he accidentally drank. Holding this breath is really enough to choke.
"Look, I've saved the little dragon!" A woman on the shore suddenly shouted, and the little dragon in her mouth was the child Li Mang was holding in his hand.
At this time, not only was there a bustle on the shore, but the clueless search crowd in the lake was also overjoyed and looked at Li Mang's side. Among them, Xiao Yangzhou and Ge Xuelin were surprised, obviously they didn't expect so many people to find nothing, but Li Mang had already fished people up, and this brother had become more and more mysterious in their eyes.
"Everybody ashore!" Li Mang shouted to the people in the lake, and he took the lead and swam quickly to the shore. Even though the water monster had already punched him twice, Li Mang couldn't be sure if it would attack the others in the water in anger because of this.
