Chapter 333: Chasing the Corpse at Midnight [Four Watches]
The water demon obviously knew that he was no match for me, so he fled immediately after being injured by me.
I'm a little anxious about it when it escapes, I'm so easy to hurt it, if I don't catch him now, then if I want to catch it in the future, I'll have to wait until the Year of the Monkey.
What makes me helpless now is that Lu Dakun and I originally planned for me to injure the water demon, and then wait for it to fall into the water, and then Lu Dakun and the others will work together to pull the net and arrest him.
But now, Lu Dakun and the others are already delirious, and they can't pull the net at all, so if I don't take measures, I'm afraid that the water demon will really escape.
Seeing this, I was anxious, picked up a bundle of rope and jumped into the water, trying to chase the water demon.
As a result, after falling into the water, I found that even though I was a martial artist, but when I got to the water, I couldn't do it at all, and my swimming speed was not much faster than that of a toad, and the worst thing was that when I got to the edge of the big net, I was scratched by a hook.
It was so infuriating that I didn't even know what to do.
Fortunately, at this time, Yun Qingyue reminded me.
"The girl ran away too!"
That's right, and that girl, that little female corpse can't swim as fast as the water demon, right?
Grandma's, isn't that little female corpse the puppet of the water demon, if you follow her, you will definitely be able to find the water demon.
At that time, thinking of this, I hurriedly swam towards the little female corpse.
By this time, the little female corpse had already retreated, poured into the water, and began to flee.
I couldn't catch up with the water demon, but I couldn't even catch up with a little female corpse, so I gritted my teeth and swam forward, picked up the chicken egg luminous stone as a lamp halfway, and then followed the little female corpse all the way to the depths of the swamp.
As expected, the speed of the little female corpse is limited, her movements are very mechanical, and the most important thing is that the water in the swamp area is relatively shallow, so even if she dives into the water, I can still detect her figure with my strong vitality.
I followed her all the way, deliberately not arresting her, just to get her to take me to the water demon.
In this way, before we knew it, we entered a clear stream in the middle of the dense forest, and the little female corpse went all the way upstream along the stream, and it seemed that we should be returning to the lair of the water demon.
Seeing this, I hurriedly followed a few steps, and after walking a few steps, I saw a mountain peak in front of me, and there was a hole under the peak, and the stream flowed out of the hole, and the little girl's corpse went directly into the cave when she reached the cave.
Seeing the little woman's movements, I hesitated for a moment, but followed in.
The cave was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, and I didn't dare to take out the chicken egg luminous stone, because I knew that in such a dark environment, if I made a bright light, not only would I not make myself safe, but I would make myself the target of public criticism, and I would be in a dangerous state.
At this point, I can only rely on my own vitality to explore my surroundings.
After such an investigation, I found that it was a pure stone cave, and the walls of the cave were wet, and it was covered with fishnet-like roots, and between the roots, there were many soft and hard-shelled insects crawling around, which looked very disgusting.
The water in the cave is not very deep, and it is somewhat warm, and it looks like there is a spring in the cave.
The bottom of the water is quite solid, but the rocks are covered with moss, and occasionally you have to accidentally step on some meat and shrimp, so if you are not careful, you may fall at any time.
When the little female corpse arrived here, she stood up straight and walked all the way inside.
I followed her closely and went all the way into the cave, and after walking a short time, I felt that the space suddenly became empty, but I entered an underground cavern.
When I got here, I felt that my vitality might not be able to detect the entire space, so I took out the chicken egg luminous stone and shook it vigorously, and immediately a white light illuminated the entire space.
At this time, when I looked up again, I found that it was a very magnificent and strange cave.
I don't know how high the top wall of the cave is, I can't see the top at a glance, the ground is full of craggy strange stones, a clear stream, steaming from the strange rocks, the edge of the stream is full of some transparent stone crystals, those stone crystals in the light, immediately reflect a dazzling brilliance.
I ignored the stone crystals, only stared at the figure of the little female corpse, and followed all the way.
After a while, the little female corpse left the stream and began to walk towards the depths of the stone forest, so I also came out of the water and prepared to follow, but before I had taken two steps, I found some blood stains on the gravel under my feet.
The bloodstains were still fresh, and if nothing else, they should have been left by the water demon.
Finally found it!
At that time, seeing this situation, I couldn't help but be excited, and quickly put away the chicken egg luminous stone, and then held the rope in one hand, the folding knife in the other, and moved forward little by little.
It didn't take long for the little girl's corpse to walk to an open and flat stone floor, and then stood there without moving.
The ground was backed by a rock wall, and the rubble on the ground had obviously been cleaned by man, so you could tell at a glance that it was a nest.
That's exactly what happened, because at this time, the water demon was curled up on the ground, humming while secretly ****ing his wounds.
"Don't hide, I've seen you a long time ago!"
Before I could make a move, the voice of the water demon rang out.
Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, and then I didn't hide, I directly took out the luminous stone and lit it, and then walked towards the water demon.
"You're not a youkai, you're a human, and you're deliberately pretending to be a youkai to scare those villagers, right?"
I guessed the identity of the water demon.
"Hey, hey, you're half right!"
Hearing my words, the water demon tore off the green sweater he was wearing, revealing a patch of white flesh.
He was indeed a human being, but when I stepped forward and really saw his appearance clearly, I was still so shocked that I couldn't speak for a long time.
It was a man, thin, with very white skin, angular features, and eyes that were faintly blue in the night, and on the surface, this was a handsome man like a vampire.
He wasn't very old, seventeen or eighteen at most, and he was wearing only a pair of close-fitting underwear at this time, and there was a bloody wound more than three inches long on his thigh, which I had obviously made.
He was holding his wound in one hand and some herbs in the other, as if he wanted to heal himself.
However, at this time, all these normal phenomena in the man did not catch my attention, and my eyes were fixed on his neck, no, his cheeks to be exact.
Because I found that his gills were larger than normal people, and behind his cheeks, there was a faint crack, and the crack was moving one by one at this time, but this person was the same as a fish, and he could breathe with his gills like a fish.
What's going on? Is this a person, or a youkai?
