Tibetan Wind Valley Chapter 59 Water Ghost
Next, we climbed over one by one, Zhou Tianzuo commanded the people in the past to disperse to the surrounding area, to maintain the stability of the platform, I and Xiong Dali or the back, if this bear did not have me to cheer up, it would definitely not be able to pass this level, if you give up when you are on the shore, I don't have to work so hard, now the way back has been cut off, I can only move forward.
Xiong trembled vigorously and climbed across the rope bridge, his weight caused a shaking of the platform, and he quickly commanded him to take a few steps inside, and came to the center of the stone platform with the huge Po Yazhi, so that the shaking stone platform tended to stabilize.
When we came to the fourth platform, we found that the fifth platform was taller than the one under our feet, so we needed to climb the rope upwards with more effort than the parallel ones.
Rigor was the first to pass, and there was nothing wrong with this inclination, but as soon as he reached the stone platform, he let out an exclamation, and then there was a panicked shooting, and since we were low on this side and high on that side, it was impossible to see what was really going on on the stone platform.
The special operators in the back were worried about their captain and scrambled to run towards the rope, and due to their confusion, the center of gravity on our side became unstable, and the stone platform began to tilt.
At the critical moment, Zhou Tianzuo loudly scolded his subordinates, maintained the stability of the stone platform, and then told and shouted, Rigorous, are you okay? What happened over there?
At this time, the gunfire had stopped, and there was silence for a while, and finally I heard a rigorous answer, young master, I'm fine, there are incredible things here, there is no danger, you can just come slowly.
We climbed the rope bridge one by one, in the previous order, and when I came to the fifth stone platform, I saw something incredible that was strictly speaking.
On the ground lay a group of humanoid monsters with bird beaks, frog-like limbs, and a turtle shell on their backs, covered in green hair. Their palms were the same giant cyan claws we had seen at the beginning.
After a rough count, there are no less than dozens of them here, they are crawling slowly like outside the stone platform, but the movement is slower than the turtle, and the strict just now suddenly saw them before shooting, but seeing them fleeing, they were relieved to call us over.
I walked up to a monster and kicked him over, looking at the funny way he was trying to turn over, and it didn't look like he had the power to fight the four of us for a kettle.
Nangong Xinyue walked over and said: Have you ever heard of water monkeys, it may be this kind of creature, they can't be regarded as ghosts, they should be ghosts, legend has it that people who commit suicide by throwing themselves into the water or accidentally drown, their souls will wander in the place of drowning, and the soul will become a water ghost by the breeding of the yin qi of the lake, and the corpses of various water tribes will be fused, and they will become monsters like a complex of various animals.
Similar to the "kappa" in Japanese national legends, the kappa is a mythical creature in Japanese mythology that lives in the waters of rivers and has the beak of a bird, the limbs of a frog, the body of a monkey and the shell of a turtle.
Do you look like them? Nangong Xinyue pointed to the monster that I kicked over.
I said, looking at the monster. Is there a way to deal with them in that legend?
I haven't heard of this, but legend has it that the water monkeys are so powerful in the water that they are weak on the shore and like to lure people into the water by crying and other ways, taking the opportunity to catch the water and suck blood.
Kappa's weakness is the dish on his head, and if he tricks him into bending over and letting the water in the dish above his head run out, he will lose his energy. But you see, they don't have a disc on their heads, so they can't believe all the legends.
But one thing is quite right, these guys are weak on the shore, but they are immensely powerful in the water, you see they are like soft-footed shrimp now, we can fiddle with it as much as we want, and the bear vigorously knocked over a few more water monkeys, and saw them turn over, and laughed there.
How did they come here? The stone platform was stable and did not shake like the stone platform in front of me, and I walked to the stone platform and saw the iron ropes hanging down, and understood how they had come up.
Do these water monkeys also like to come ashore to dry their shells like turtles?
Dali, I find that you are quite unreliable every time, but what you say at the critical moment is the focus, I think so too, I guess they also have the habit of a turtle.
At this time, the water monkeys on the stone platform had all jumped into the river, and only the few that had been overturned were still waving their paws and unable to get up.
Leave them alone, let's go on, cross the river as soon as possible, Zhou Tianzuo asked Jian Jian to build a chain bridge quickly.
The water monkeys that had jumped into the river popped up again, making sounds like babies crying, and gathered more and more, circling around the stone platform.
Rigor ignored these water monkeys, followed Zhou Tianzuo's order and ran out of the flying tiger to build a chain bridge, when he climbed halfway, a water arrow shot out from the surface of the river, the speed was extremely fast, and there was a faint sound of breaking through the air, if it was shot, it would definitely not be less powerful than a real bow and arrow.
Rigor hooked the rope with his legs, turned over, and hung upside down on the chain bridge, narrowly dodging the attack of this water arrow, and we looked out to the river to see a water monkey spitting out water arrows with a beak-like sharp beak.
Before he could straighten his body, more water monkeys spewed water arrows and attacked him, and there were more than twenty of them.
We couldn't help but sweat for him, not to mention on the rope, even if it was too many arrows to dodge on land.
But his rigorous skills are so good that he staged an Olympic-level horizontal bar gymnastics, with a back-arc rotation support, a 360-degree turn, a one-armed Thomas loop, and a variety of difficult movements one by one, which allowed him to escape the attack of the rain of arrows.
Rigor didn't dare to stay longer, seeing that the water monkey was preparing for the second wave of attack, in this gap, Rigor tapped a few times on the rope and flew to the opposite side, at this time, the second wave of attack of the water monkey also arrived, but it could only shoot into the air.
We don't have such good skills as rigorous, and if this group of water monkeys were guarding under the stone platform, we wouldn't have a chance to get there.
By the way, legend has it that water ghosts are afraid of fire, let's try it with fire to see if we can drive away these water monkeys, Nangong Xinyue proposed.
We didn't have gasoline with us, and even those windproof lighters didn't work, I shook my head.
I'll try it, Ling Youyang walked over.
How did you forget him, this old fire condensation talisman is his famous stunt, and when I heard Ling Youyang recommend himself, I remembered his housekeeping mastery.
Ling Youyang took out three talismans and read in his mouth: Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law, and is as urgent as a law.
The talisman exploded in the air, and three fiery snakes roared and rushed towards the water monkeys, who were busy spraying water arrows at the rigorous side, not noticing the fiery serpents on our side, and by the time they reacted, the fiery serpents had already flown in front of them.
Two water monkeys reacted quickly and plunged headlong into the water, narrowly avoiding the attack of the fire charm, but one water monkey was not so happy, being hit on the head by the fire charm, baring his teeth and howling, his skin was charred and his skin was blackened, and he was tumbling up and down in the water, obviously suffering a very serious injury.
The other water monkeys looked at us angrily when they saw that their companions were injured, and one after another water arrows shot at our side platform, but because the stone platform was very high and large, as long as we left the edge of the stone platform, the water monkey attack could not harm us.
Ling Youyang launched a confrontation with the water monkey at the edge of the stone platform, but because the water monkey was on guard and the distance was relatively far, neither side could help anyone.
I saw that Ling Youyang was already sweating on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was overconsumed, and he was persuaded in the past, so meaningless consumption would only make us more passive.
We sat on the stone platform in a daze, meditating on how to deal with the water monkeys.
Xiong Dali had nothing to do, and went over to fiddle with the overturned water monkeys, and said to me while poking and saying, "If these water monkeys are human, we will take these water monkeys hostage and threaten them to make way for us."
It occurred to me that the reason why the water monkeys were attacking us was not to rescue their companions, and I immediately sat up.
Chirp, quickly connect me with the consciousness of these water monkeys, I have to negotiate with them.
Well, willing to serve you, chirp to connect with our consciousness.
I walked to the platform and shouted to the water monkeys: Don't attack, I'm here to negotiate, your companions are still in our hands, don't worry that we won't hurt them, as long as you let us go, we will return your companions.
The water monkeys were stunned and didn't attack me, but they didn't answer my questions, they all looked at me with wide eyes.
They didn't understand what I said? I repeated what I had just said with my hand and with a gesture.
At this moment, a slightly larger water monkey swam over and barked at me, and I heard it, return my companion...... You guys...... Walk.
It is estimated that these water monkeys have a limited IQ, so they were suddenly able to understand what I was saying just now, and they really couldn't understand it for a while, and it took a while to understand.
Now their meaning is also clear, as long as their companions are returned, we can leave.
I said to the leading water monkey, let's release some of your companions first, but we have to keep a hostage, and we can release him after we cross the river.
The water monkey in the lead said only one word: good.
They scattered and swam away, and I was about to beckon everyone to leave, but I saw these water monkeys leap up like frogs, and jumped onto the stone platforms in front of them, and the water monkeys below threw the thick iron chains to the companions who jumped on the stone platforms, and they built a chain bridge. After connecting the iron chains, the four water monkeys lay on the sides of the stone platform to maintain the stability of the stone platform.
It turned out that these water monkeys were the managers of the bridge, and I thought that someone had broken it! And these water monkeys did not climb up to the stone platform from hanging chains, as I thought, but they jumped up.
We tied up a water monkey and let Po Yazhi carry him across the chain bridge, and the other water monkeys helped them turn over and let them crawl away on their own.
When we all reached the other side of the Yintuo River, I motioned for Po Yazhi to release the water monkey.
Po Yazhi pulled the rope and threw it directly into the river.
When the water monkeys saw their companions return safely, they all sank into the water again.
