Li Mang had already sent the drowning child to the shore and began to rescue him. He had been drowning for several minutes, and although his heart had not stopped beating, he was in a severe coma, and he had drunk a lot of water, and his entire abdomen was distended.

"Poof......

With the hard pressure on his chest, a large amount of water was spit out, and the child's complexion gradually improved, and with other rescue measures, the child finally recovered his breathing, but his body was terribly weak, which also required more professional treatment and recovery.

"Get the kid to the hospital!" Li Mang commanded.

"Xie Lu Xie, Xie Lu Xie." The child's parents thanked the child excitedly, and hurriedly carried the child down the mountain without caring about anything else.

"Thank you, young man, if you hadn't rescued this child, he would be gone today!"

"Yes, I really want to thank this young man."

The child's family was already busy sending him to the hospital, and the villagers spontaneously walked up to Li Mang to express their gratitude, and some even prepared big red envelopes, which could not chill the hero's heart.

"Thank you for my understanding, but the red envelope is enough, I am partnering with Yangzhou to open a villa, and I will have to rely on everyone's help in the future!" Li Mang hurriedly stopped.

"This ......"

"Li Mang is not an outsider, so the red envelope is not needed." Xiao Yangzhou, who had just dressed up, also hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, he knew that Li Mang didn't need this, and besides, every penny of the villagers came from a difficult source.

The villagers sent a bunch of good person cards to Li Mang, and said that they would try their best to cooperate with the affairs of Taoxiang Villa, and then the noise dispersed. For this evil ghost lake, they are not willing to stay for a moment longer.

"You two should go back first, and then guard me halfway up the mountain so that no one can come up." Li Mang said to Ge Xuelin and Xiao Yangzhou beside him, with a straight face.

"Python, what's really unclean down there?" Ge Xuelin raised his eyebrows, and when he looked at the calm lake in front of him, he suddenly felt some hairs on his back.

Xiao Yangzhou also looked at Li Mang in shock, he was a native of Taoxiang Village, he knew the evil of this ghost lake, and now Li Mang's intriguing words made him secretly surprised.

"There's a thing, but it's not the water ghost you say, I don't know the specifics." Li Mang shook his head, he couldn't mention more, these two brothers are not in the circle at the moment, and it's better not to let them see the water monster.

Although he was full of curiosity, seeing Li Mang like this, Xiao Yangzhou didn't ask much, but asked seriously: "Is it safe for you to stay here alone?" ”

"There is no problem with self-preservation, you can rest assured." Li Mang is confident, through the contact just now, he has roughly tested the strength of the water monster, although the appearance is scary, but the strength is only average, it seems to be an ancient creature with degraded strength.

"If we can't wait for you to come back, do you want to call 120?" Ge Xuelin interjected and asked.

“…… Just burn incense for me! Li Mang rolled his eyes.

"Do you want paper money?" Ge Xuelin asked again.

"Do you want me to go to hell and be a pauper?" Li Mang did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Don't talk about these unlucky things, let's go back and change our clothes!" Xiao Yangzhou interrupted the conversation between the two angrily, and turned around and left first, and Ge Xuelin also followed.

Sending everyone away, Li Mang was not in a hurry to enter the water again, he was recalling the appearance of the water monster, with a tiger head, a dragon body, a snake tail, and four claws...... For some reason, these images were inexplicably familiar to him, as if he had seen them somewhere.

"Tiger Jiao!"

With this flash of inspiration in his mind, Li Mang said a figurative name, and he thought that he had remembered why he was familiar with the appearance of the water monster.

In the "Classic of Mountains and Seas * Southern Three Classics", a strange beast is recorded, with a tiger head, a body, and a snake tail, and a famous tiger Jiao.

The location of the record is the third column of the Nanshan Sutra, and it is also the last column of the Nanshan Sutra. And Li Mang is currently breaking into the third mountain of the first mountain system, so he has not seen the body of the tiger Jiao, but looking at the appearance of this ghost lake monster, it is indeed the tiger Jiao.

As for why it is so weak, Li Mang does not know the details, but thinking of the changes in the earth's environment, he can only speculate that it is the reason why the strength of the tiger Jiao is degrading.

"Poof!"

Li Mang plunged into the lake again, it was already dusk, the sunset remained, the light was already insufficient, and it would be dark again, and it would be even more troublesome at that time.

Since he had already been here once, he knew the specific location of the road, so Li Mang came directly to the destination, which was the location where the tiger Jiao drilled down before. The shape of the nearby silt allowed Li Mang to distinguish it, but unfortunately the figure of the main owner was no longer visible at this time.

"Already under the mud?" Li Mang thought to himself, and then frowned slightly, this will undoubtedly be more difficult to deal with. And he didn't know what was going on under the mud, which was a difficult thing to do.

As soon as his heart moved, Li Mang took out the Shanhai Sutra from the position of his heart, opened the map of the Nanshan Sutra on the first page, and entered it with a thought. This book is not even afraid of fire, and naturally it is not afraid of water.

When he reappeared at the bottom of the ghost lake, he was still holding a six or seven meter-long Xiangfei bamboo in his hand, and after finding the right direction, he inserted it under the silt.

Two meters.

4 meters, 5 meters......

But what shocked Li Mang was that it was still not at the end, and the normal silt at the bottom of the lake could not be so deep, and a depth of two meters was already very terrifying.

Li Mang could only continue to insert the bamboo pole down hard, while circling and stirring, unwilling to miss any clues.

"Poof!" With a light hand, Li Mang suddenly felt that the bamboo pole in his hand was inserted into a space without silt, which was a different feeling from before, and it was very obvious. Li Mang was already sure that there was an underwater cellar about six meters below, which must be where Tiger Jiao's nest was.

"Purr!"

A large huge blister suddenly appeared in the mud below, and it was continuous, and at the same time, the bamboo pole in his hand also made a rubbing vibration, which was caused by something, which made Li Mang's expression shocked, and his eyes looked down vigilantly, waiting quietly.

"Poof!"

A black shadow came out from under the mud, and quickly rushed up to the opposite side of Li Mang, what was it that was not the tiger Jiao who had fought with Li Mang before.

At this time, the tiger Jiao was very angry, and his small eyes looked extremely scarlet. It was the human in front of him, not to mention snatching food from it, and injuring him. Living in this environment, in fact, Hu Jiao's courage is still very small, so after waking up from the dizziness, he did not seek revenge, but hid in the cave in fear.

Unexpectedly, now Li Mang is stirring up its cave with a bamboo pole, although its strength has degraded, but after all, it is an ancient fierce beast, and the tiger Jiao still retains some of its previous anger.

"Whew!"

Tiger Jiao roared angrily and broke through the water, which was faster than before, and also made Li Mang's face change color slightly. Previously, Hu Jiao was holding a child in his hand, which had interfered with its strength to a certain extent. In addition, it was careless before, and was punched by Li Mang and landed on the head, which led to falling into the disadvantage from the beginning.

But at the same time, it also caused Li Mang to underestimate its strength, which is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing. But so far, Li Mang has no choice but to wait.

"Bang!"

"Poof!"

"Boom ......"

Although it is in the water, the battle is extremely fierce, Li Mang's attacks mainly come from fists, while Tiger Jiao is more flexible, with a large mouth of blood, sharp claws, and a slender tail, these are its weapons, although its strength is average, its defense and speed are amazing, and the only weakness is the head. But this time it has learned smartly, and it didn't use its brains to confront Li Mang.

In this case, Li Mang actually fell into the disadvantage, and what is even more fatal is that different tiger Jiao can live in the water for a long time, and he needs to hold his breath, which is his most fatal weakness. After only two or three minutes, he didn't move neatly enough, his face turned red, and he had to drag the tiger Jiao to the water intentionally or unintentionally.

"Whoa!"

Li Mang was finally able to breathe a breath of air, but sadly, a tail covered with scales wrapped around his right foot and pulled it down hard, and with a pop, Li Mang sank into the water again.

Li Mang, who accidentally drank a sip of lake water, was extremely angry, leaned back to charge up his waist, and then stabbed forward with all his might, and finally turned his body around, and at the same time stepped on the tiger Jiao's lower body with the other foot - "Bang! ”

"Whew!!"

This time the tiger Jiao was really injured, just because Li Mang kicked at the two eggs, and like people, most creatures are fatal in this part. Tiger Jiao's whole body is covered with scale armor, but only the head and this part are not, and being kicked by Li Mang with all his strength is not just as simple as egg pain.

People have muscles and veins, and the tiger Jiao is the same, the eggs have been hit hard, and the whole body trembles under the influence of the tendons, and the body is paralyzed and stiff.
