Chapter 53: The Vortex
If I die on my compassion, then there is really no reward for good people.
At this time, there was a strong surge under the water, and I was so frightened that I swam forward with all my strength. By now, my fear of death is not so strong, but it is a little unpleasant to be eaten by those disgusting Barra monsters underwater.
At this moment, something reached out and a branch was striking at my side, and I grabbed it. There was a loud sound of water behind me, and my foot was bitten by something soft, and I was immediately taken out of the water more than a meter high. At the moment when my feet were out of strength, Liu Dongxi pulled the tree, dragging me from the air to the tree.
The two of them collided, and I didn't bother to get up, so I hurriedly looked back to see what it was. I saw a huge monster like a meat worm slowly descending to the bottom of the water, and the gray-brown fat body covered with folds was covered with dark gray stripes, and the water was dripping deep in the flesh folds.
I've never seen anything more disgusting, and even though I didn't have anything in my stomach, I almost threw up.
The unknown monster seemed to have a hard time bending in the air, giving the impression of being careful to keep its body vertical, and only glanced at me with his small eyes on a strange face full of folds and bristles when it was almost all in the water.
This glance completely subverted my previous perception of disgust, and I now feel that this face is more disgusting than my body.
Liu Dongxi had already run to the other end of the canopy at this time, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, that thing rushes again, we both have to hang up!" ”
Only then did I react, quickly got up and ran over, holding Xiao Dangkang to my chest with one hand. As soon as the little guy got out of danger, he snored, and a small pink mouth took my thumb to his mouth, and every now and then he sucked twice.
"You said this big thing, how can you take a fancy to me with such a small piece of meat?" I found a branch and hugged it, and asked Liu something.
Liu Shiwu didn't bother me, stared at the little Dangkang in my hand, stretched out his hand and pounced twice: "This little thing still recognizes you, if you can go back alive, you can raise it, this is a Rui beast!" ”
I held myself between the two branches and casually asked, "What beast?" ”
"It is said in ancient books that this dangkang is an omen of abundant year, which means that there will be a good harvest in the coming year."
I thought to myself that this is really good, if you want to go home and farm, with this little thing at home, maybe you can really become a rich man.
Thinking so in my heart, I just wanted to say something, but I felt a huge earthquake in the trunk under my feet, and the whole tree was lifted up quite high, and the trunk part of the tree was out of the water, and I was not able to stand on a stable footing, and I almost fell. Hurriedly grabbed Xiao Dangkang, hugged the branch with one hand, and was very busy.
Then there were a few more jolts, and the monsters under the water kept hitting the trunks. The force that passed through the tree was so powerful that it almost broke my neck. Fortunately, this tree is large, and it floats quite steadily on the water, so even if the underwater monster is powerful, it can be protected for a while.
But it wasn't a lifetime for a while, and it didn't take long for the trunk to break, and Liu and I could only hold on to the branches, not knowing what to do. Liu asked me, "What can I do now?" ”
"What can I do? If we go down to feed the fish, we can't go anywhere except this tree. A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, "Why don't we get the branches and take this tree away?" ”
"Don't, such a big tree, and it's not a boat, do you know how heavy it sinks in the water? If I had the ability to wield it, I'd jump in and kill this monster! ”
I don't know where Liu Shifu got such a poor mouth, but I basically understand that this thing is not something we can move.
Since there is no way, then you can only obey the destiny of heaven. I looked at the turbulent water, and Xiao Dangkang in my hand was still asleep, sucking twice from time to time. The little thing didn't seem to know and waited for him to wake up...... No, it may just stay in this sleep and never wake up again
At this time, a dark green splash suddenly rose on the water surface, spreading along the debris on the water surface, followed by a large number of bubbles gushing out, and a fishy smell spread out, making people want to vomit.
Liu Dongxi said happily: "It's okay, I'm rubbing myself under the water!" ”
I stared at the water and said, "Why is it okay, this is temporarily shelved, and we have to be cleaned up after solving the internal contradictions!" ”
As soon as I finished saying this, a shocking protrusion arose on the water surface, and a beam of golden light pierced the debris on the water surface, and the water splashed down with the debris like rain, and I pulled away the leaves that blocked my eyes, only to see a golden and shining big fish that was bitten and lifted into the air by the disgusting monster from the middle, and a copper-colored bronze chain in the fish's mouth was torn straight.
Liu Dongxi and I looked at it dumbfounded, isn't this the big fish that was tied up in the underground lake before!
It is estimated that the previous collapse destroyed the unique geological structure that connected the underground lake to the mountaintop pool, and opened the underground lake to the inside of the sinkhole, bringing the fish to this dangerous battlefield.
At this time, the big fish no longer had the appearance of showing off its majesty before, and the long golden hairs that were originally scattered like smoke were all attached to the body at this moment, and they looked particularly sparse after being wet, mixed with the dirt on the fish's body. His body was covered with terrible wounds, and even the bones could be faintly seen. Only the two rows of sharp thorns were still wielding vigorously, but they were useless in the mouth of the beast.
Just as I was sighing and shocked, the monster's head suddenly split into four parts, and after shaking a few times, I wanted to swallow the big fish, which was estimated to have been seriously injured before, and did not resist and let the monster devour it. In an instant, the big fish that opened the door to our adventure disappeared from the monster's mouth, only the chain was still dragging at the corner of the monster's mouth, and the water was dripping, and I don't know how far away it was.
Liu Dongxi and I were stunned by this scene and couldn't speak, and could only watch as the monster pretended to maintain its balance, and slowly sank into the water with that delicate and disgusting posture.
Suddenly, the monster that stood like a chimney in front of me suddenly fell to the side, as if it had been dragged away from its feet. It was a huge mass of flesh that smashed into the water, and where it fell into the water, the surface of the water seemed to be smashed into it, and I stared at the depression, not knowing what was going on.
There seemed to be a vibration sound under the water, which seemed to sound in the bottom of my heart, and only then did I come to my senses. Instead of recovering, the concave surface of the water grew deeper and deeper, slowly expanding, and turned into a whirlpool.
There was a scream from the water, and countless debris was swept into the whirlpool, which from above looked gray and yellow, like a rotating clay pot.
The whirlpool kept expanding, gradually approaching us, and the debris on the surrounding water surface was sucked away, and even though the weight of the tree we were in was extremely heavy, it was no match for the natural strange force. I could feel the trunks of the trees trembling beneath my feet, and gradually there was a slight movement.
Just now, I was worried about losing my life, and suddenly I was worried about dying in the whirlpool, and my life was up and down too fast, which made me a little dazed.
