Chapter 38: Attacked

"There's a river ahead!" When Xu Zhen brushed aside the dense weeds and heard the sound of bubbling water, he couldn't believe that his group was so lucky that they had found the right way up the mountain by mistake. As long as you go downstream, you won't lose your way.

When Dai Shikai saw the fish and shrimp in the river, tears were about to flow out. He and Xu Zhen used a knife to cut wood and make a fork, and then the two of them clumsily dripped, trying to catch some fish to feed themselves.

Becky squatted on the shore and cleaned up the live fish and shrimp they caught, and then rinsed them. At this moment, she saw several dead fish with white bellies slowly floating from the upstream direction, each of these fish was about the size of her forearm, far larger than what Dai Shikai and they had caught.

When she got closer, she was surprised to find that most of these fish were torn apart, and only a few pieces of red and white flesh were connected, which was miserable; Some of them had a lot of blood holes poked out of their abdomen, and the fish body exuded an unpleasant stench, as if they had been dead for a long time.

"How can there be so many dead fish upstream?" Dai Shikai and Xu Zhen also noticed that something was wrong.

After the two saw the death of those fish, they immediately went ashore, Betsy also packed her luggage, and the three of them moved away from the river as quickly as possible, and after making sure that there was no other movement around, Xu Zhen opened his mouth: "It seems. It's not safe by the river. ”

"I didn't expect there to be other monsters in this forest." Dai Shikai remembered the hideous bite marks and dense blood holes on those fishes, and couldn't help frowning in disgust.

"Is it the one we met yesterday?" Betsy asked.

"No, the black goat cub is huge, three to six meters tall, and you have all seen its tentacles, these small fish and shrimp must not have been killed by it." Dai Shikai's face was not good: "Judging from the wounds, this monster is not very big, but it also has sharp teeth and disgusting tentacles...... God forbid, but don't be it! ”

"What?" Xu Zhen couldn't help but be a little curious.

Dai Shikai shook his head, and didn't tell them what he thought: "I'm not sure, anyway, everyone be careful, that monster was active in this upstream a few days ago, I'm afraid that if I continue like this, I will encounter it." ”

"Then stay away from the river and try to be as active in the forest as possible." Xu Zhen said and sighed: "This forest is really full of dangers, not only to beware of the forest, but also to guard against the water." ”

"yes, I hope others will notice these anomalies as well." Betsy's words hit the heart of Dai Shikai's most worrying thing. If Lu Qing and the others were to move along the river without knowing it, then it was very likely that they would bump into the mysterious monster stationed at the water's edge to hunt!

"No, we need to go!" Dai Shikai said: "Brother Qing, they don't know anything about this, if they really encounter it, it will be terrible!" ”

At this time, on the bank of the river, the four of Lu Qing, who had no idea, had just finished lunch, packed their luggage, and continued to move upstream along the riverbank. After they had walked for a while, Qing Shui suddenly stopped. He sniffed around, then asked, "Do you smell a fishy smell?" ”

And Lu Qing and Li Zeyan noticed almost at the same time that a large number of dead fish with white bellies were gathered in the water in front of them, the water was smeared with a faint red, and the bright red internal organs of the fish were still floating on the water.

"The fish look fresh, they must have just died." Within Lu Qing's line of sight, all the fish were brutally torn to pieces, and many were pierced through their bodies and torn apart wantonly.

Even if you are full, you must kill all these fish. It can be seen that the creatures that hunted these fish were not too big in size, but they had a brutal temperament, and although it was not clear what the monster was, everyone already had a vague sense of foreboding in their hearts.

"Let's go." Before Lu Qing finished speaking, the four of them suddenly heard a continuous and disgusting sound in the air around them. The sound was similar to that of a flute, but it was sharper and harsher, making them feel extremely uncomfortable.

The sound hovered over the river not far from them, and everyone looked around blankly, but they could not find the exact source of the sound. But even so, they could hear the strange sound of the flute coming rapidly from across the river in their direction.

Li Zeyan had a keen sense of hearing, and quickly judged the specific source of the voice: "At two o'clock!" Be careful! ”

At this time, the closest to danger was Chen Shuo, although he couldn't see the true appearance of the monster, he also felt a huge sense of oppression, and then, nausea and uneasiness came to his heart, and he didn't have time to think about Li Zeyan's words.

Just at the last moment, Lu Qing pounced desperately, and the two rolled around on the ground, Lu Qing only felt that something was grazing his back and quickly swept over, and the strange flute sound came from the top of his head.

"Smack"

A few finger-thick gray tentacles like mollusk claws appeared in the air and stabbed into the ground where Chen Shuo was originally standing. Following those tentacles, Lu Qing raised his head and saw a scene that shocked him.

The monster floated in the air, about the size of a basin, and resembled a coelenterate, but could still fly freely in the air despite having no wings or other biological organs to support its flight. The strange creature's body looms, only part of the body is made of matter, and what the rest is made of is unknown.

"Whoosh"

The monster pounced, retracting the tentacles, and at the same time, its form disappeared from sight again, except for the strange sound of the flute that continued to stimulate their nerves.

"This monster seems to only reveal its true identity when attacking, be careful!" Lu Qing roared and got up from the ground, pulling Chen Shuo to flee desperately.

"Could this be what Akai mentioned...... Flying polyps? Chen Shuo gasped and remembered what happened to him in the town before.

The statue engraved with the old seal but was blown up, Lu Qing and others speculated at that time that there might be some monster sealed in the statue. It now seems that their assumptions were completely correct.

This is a juvenile flying polyp, because of its stealth, after He Hongfei blew up the statue, it escaped from it and flew into this deep mountain. Luckily, they encountered only juvenile bodies, not adult paraids.

You must know that this monster has many amazing attack methods in the legend, and the adult flying hydra can control the wind, and will also use a variety of magic such as air wave impact, immobilization, and storm attack. If they are unlucky, there is only a dead end waiting for Lu Qing.

"By the way, Akai said that this monster is afraid of electricity!" Lu Qing ran and suddenly remembered something. He braked sharply and shouted at Li Zeyan not far away: "Use your stun gun!" ”
