Chapter 39: The Water Monster

Before entering the bath, Wang Lang must prepare enough fresh water to drink, because the swamp area has a large number of decaying plants all year round, this water cannot be drunk directly, and needs to be filtered by precipitation and boiled before it can be barely drunk.

Wang Lang and the others rested for a day at the edge of the bathing field, and collected enough fresh water for about two days to drink, and today they were about to enter this legendary land of death.

Wang Lang led the people along the edge of the swamp for about an hour, and finally found a place where people could pass.

Then people tied ropes around their waists, grabbed sticks, and walked in a line into the water that did not reach their calves.

Wang Lang walked at the front of the team, holding the prepared wooden sticks, constantly testing the depth of the water in front of him, among the lush aquatic grasses, several otters lying on the water surface, disturbed by these sudden intruders, vigilant, turned their round eyes to look at these tall creatures, quickly took the fish that was not eaten on the belly, and slipped into the water, splashing a wave.

Encountering a place where the water was not deeper than the chest, the short child could only ride on the neck of an adult through this water, and people continued to stop and go for half a day, and finally found a piece of land that could accommodate them in the afternoon.

On the land of dozens of square meters in front, there are many lush weeds and trees, and dense plants occupy almost all the space here.

After going ashore, people rubbed their blistered white feet, fortunately there was nothing like leeches in the water, if they were bitten by blood-sucking insects, it was basically impossible to save them, Wang Lang couldn't help but sigh his good luck.

Walking in the water is very physically demanding, and the speed of progress is very slow, Wang Lang looked back at the woods behind him, and people only walked less than two kilometers in half a day.

"Poof!"

Not far away, there was a sudden sound of falling water.

Such a loud sound made Wang Lang immediately alert, holding a spear in his hand and staring at the water vigilantly.

"Be careful, everyone! There's something underneath the water! Wang Lang instructed without looking back, and did not dare to leave the water for a moment.

The crowd immediately tensed, the women and children as far away as far as possible from the shore, and the men stood on the shore with their spears held high, and if the underwater thing dared to come and attack, the people who were on guard would surely teach it an unforgettable lesson.

Something seemed to be approaching the water not far away, and the calm water was separated by the rapid movement of the thing, and soon people saw a large, vague shadow under the water.

People were a little pale, and although they couldn't see it in its entirety, they already knew that this thing was very big, and that it was so big that people wouldn't have the slightest power to resist if they were in the water.

The thing swam quickly back and forth around the shore, as if looking for a suitable opportunity to attack.

After observing underwater for a while, it felt that these two-legged creatures standing on land should not be threatening, so it decided to attack these prey, and its huge body rushed out of the water, and its flat mouth opened with a huge mouth full of rows of sharp teeth, and pounced on the nearest black stone.

Seeing such a huge head pounce on him, Heishi's face turned pale with fright, and he didn't have time to react to any attack for a while, his body subconsciously jumped backwards, avoiding this terrifying mouth, but he tripped over the protruding roots under his feet and fell to the ground.

Seeing that its prey was running away, the monster stretched its two short and stout front legs out of the water, trying to rush up to the panicked prey, without paying any attention to the other humans, and in its perception these creatures were no different from the deer that often came here to drink, and their clumsy movements were even easier to catch than those deer.

The horn standing beside him was also startled, but seeing that the black stone was in danger, the spear in his hand quickly threw itself at the monster.

The sharp spear pierced the jaw in one stroke, and the monster let out a scream like a baby's cry, shaking its huge head to throw the spear stuck in its jaw down, but the sudden sharp pain completely angered its ferocity, and gave up chasing the black stone, turning and lunging towards the horn.

Seeing that he had escaped, Heishi also reacted, quickly got up from the ground, and stabbed the monster's head with a spear, and the monster's round head was soon blurred by the flesh and blood of the stab, and under the pain, the monster wanted to turn around and escape from this group of dangerous creatures.

Wang Lang saw that it wanted to escape, and the secret path was not good, if such a thing existed underwater, his own people could only be trapped on this dozens of square meters of land.

"Don't let him go into the water, kill it!" Wang Lang roared angrily and threw the spear in his hand hard.

As soon as Wang Lang's words fell, the others also reacted quickly and threw their spears at the monster, half of the monster's body left on the shore wanted to turn around and go into the water, but its bulky body was extremely inconvenient to move on land, and it couldn't avoid the whistling spear rain at all, and in an instant, the sharp spear tip pierced its fragile skin, and seven or eight spears pierced his body and looked like a hedgehog.

Two spears pierced its head, causing it to be crucified to the ground before it could scream.

Wang Lang walked over and rubbed the monster's head vigorously with a wooden stick, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the monster had really been killed by his own people.

When the people saw that this monster was really dead, they wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and grinned.

The creature was a threat when it was alive, and when it was dead it was food to fill the stomach, people tied ropes to the monster's two front legs and laboriously dragged it to shore.

When this monster revealed all its body, everyone was taken aback, counting the huge body with a tail of more than four or five meters long, it was very visually impactful, Wang Lang looked at this monster carefully, just now he felt that this thing was a little familiar, and now he reacted after a close observation, this thing is simply a baby fish magnified many times,

In the previous world, if you were caught eating wild baby fish, you would definitely be sent to prison for a few years, but now that such a big thing like a baby fish is placed in front of you, as a member of the big foodie empire, you will naturally not let go of this rare game.

Wang Lang pulled out the spear stuck in this monster and said, "Make a fire, let's taste what this monster is like today." ”

When the people heard this, they all licked their lips and laughed, and several daring children walked up to the monster and kicked the monster in the head, climbing up and down on the monster.

Heishi volunteered to come out with a stone axe, just now this thing jumped out to scare himself, and now that it fell into his hands, Heishi was already ready to dismantle this thing.
