The fat man and I lurked in the pine forest on the shore, about twenty meters from the lake.

We didn't dare to stand, for fear that the target would be too big, so we could only crawl on the frozen weeds covered with a layer of snow, staring intently at the ice cave on the surface of the lake.

The cold wind blew, and the cold made people's teeth tremble. Friends who have been to the countryside for the winter should have this experience, in addition to the lack of heating, the most terrible thing is not the low temperature, but the pervasive cold wind.

The dense construction in the city, and even many newly opened buildings, the distance between the buildings is within reach, although this environment is oppressive, but it also indirectly resists the invasion of cold winds.

The countryside is different, the area is vast, and there are almost no high-rise buildings, and the wind blows at 360 degrees without dead ends, blowing the soles of people's feet, buzzing ears, and sore heads.

The fat man and I were both dressed very thickly, and we were young and angry, so it wasn't hard to lie on the ground. But as time passed, the lake was calm and there was no movement, which made people feel bottomless.

days, quickly wiped black. Looking at the watch, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

The fat man couldn't bear it, and complained in his ear, saying that my method couldn't work at all.

I was also a little frustrated, but unwilling, and was about to say a few words to him, when I saw that under the ice cave on the surface of the lake, there was a surge, as if it was boiling in an instant, and a large number of blisters appeared.

I just wanted to call the fat man to pay attention, but before the words came out, I felt a sudden shock.

The chains tied to the ancient pine tree suddenly tightened, and the tightly connected iron rings began to clang, as if they had suddenly been pulled by some great force.

The ancient pine also trembled instantly, and the extremely thick trunk shook, and a large amount of snow shook down from the top of the tree, falling on us and around us without a head.

Hooked!

I was in ecstasy, and I got up from the ground, picked up the basin that I had prepared long ago, and rushed to the lake, which contained cinnabar water with bird droppings.

Maybe I had been crawling on the ground for too long, my feet were a little numb, my body staggered, and the basin full of cinnabar water in my hand was actually scattered in half of my shaking.

The black-red liquid splashed on the white snow, which looked shocking, but the pungent smell made my head sober up instantly, and my feet were much more stable.

When I ran to the ice cave on the surface of the lake, the ice cave, which was originally only about 60 or 70 centimeters in diameter, had already been splashed by the ice slag rubbed by the iron chain, and it had spread to the size of nearly one meter.

The bubbles were churning under the water, and an indescribable earthy smell was surging up with the bursting bubbles, rushing straight to the nostrils, and a vague black shadow was vaguely seen, struggling underwater.

Without hesitation, I poured most of the remaining half of the cinnabar water down in one go......

As the black-red slurry entered the water, the water surface instantly returned to calm, the churning bubbles disappeared, and the originally tight iron chain seemed to lose its strength, and instantly collapsed and fell on the ice.

"Fatty, pull!"

I shouted, only to feel hoarse, dry tones whirling lonely in the cold wind. The fat man spat at the palms of his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and began to pull the chain with all his might.

As the chain rose little by little, the miserable white pig's knuckle was pulled up first.

I saw that its exposed flesh had almost been eaten away, leaving only the thick white bones and tendons tightly bound by iron chains, all of which were covered with fine sharp tooth bite marks, and the broken flesh with bones was in the shape of strips of cloth, hanging with droplets of water.

And the steel beast clamp had also been closed, clamping two slender strange hands with long sharp claws and thick black hair.

This strange hand was different from a human hand, each with only four fingers, almost the average length, except for the sharp, cold-glowing claws, covered with black hair, like a mass of aquatic plants or some kind of plant, and water droplets were constantly dripping from the black hair.

The wrists of the two strange hands were clamped by the beast, and they were constantly twitching, as if a pale green slime was pouring out of their depths, standing out against the black background.

Could it be that the blood of this thing is green? My heart moved, and I hurriedly took out the vial that I had prepared a long time ago, and carefully took some of the viscous green liquid and filled it.

The chain continued to float, and a figure about sixty centimeters long with thick black hair around it was pulled out of the water.

I saw that although the thing was humanoid, its limbs were completely disproportionate, and it had black claws on both hands and feet, more like some kind of ape.

The face is long, noseless, and the entire face is flattened with almost no protrusions. A pair of small black bean-like eyes are dripping and rolling, and the black hair on its face is particularly thick and slender, and it is distributed in circles, reminiscent of a male lion.

A mouth is extremely large, squeaking, the voice is like a mouse, and the thin teeth in the shape of gravel are faintly visible in the opening and closing, glowing with cold light.

This guy was covered in bird droppings cinnabar water that I had just spilled, and the black hair all over his body was sticky, like a layer of asphalt or mud, exuding a fishy smell and some indescribable strange smell.

It slumped on the ice, its whole body twitching unnaturally, except for a pair of small resentful eyes staring at me with a fierce hatred in its eyes.

This is the legendary merman larvae - water monkey hidden in the Yunmeng Bay Reservoir.

I think little brother, I am a master of boundless mana, how can I be afraid of its ugly stares? I pulled out the red cloth I had prepared and covered it with my head.

The moment the red cloth fell, I seemed to see a shock in this guy's eyes, and a look of despair arose. Then, it opened its mouth and let out a scream that resounded through the sky.

It was said to be a scream, because the audio of this sound was extremely high, and I felt that my eardrum was about to be shattered, and I couldn't help but get dark for a short time in front of me, and I felt that something like a sound wave rushed straight into the distance, echoing in the mountains and forests.

This piercing scream is different from the fox cry that Hu Xiaoye has experienced. In this sound wave, there seems to be a tragic color, like a spark burning out of life at the last moment of the hero's righteousness.

No matter how gorgeous the fireworks are, they can't avoid the end of dissipation.

I covered the water monkey with a red cloth, lifted it, and walked towards the shore. The fat man also quickly pushed out the iron cage that had been prepared earlier.

Unexpectedly, this monster with infinite power in the water was extremely light, never weighing more than ten catties.

The fat man and I threw it into an iron cage and locked it, rested on the shore for a while, and then pushed the iron cage and returned to the village.

In Lijiawan Village at night, the dim lights of every household and the bright stars in the sky do not reflect each other harmoniously.

The aftertaste of cooking smoke wafted through the air, as if it were an invisible hand, guiding the wanderer home.
