Chapter 21: Holy Water Protector
There are thousands of creatures in the water, but what is this spindle-shaped, transparent creature?
It has been recorded in detail in the Inverted Dou Sutra that many well-intentioned tomb owners will order people to raise thousands of kinds of poisonous insects before their deaths, some of them are fostered in the bodies of living people with strong yang energy, and some are fostered in some kind of special utensils. Because the varieties of poisonous insects are different, they will devour each other, and the poisonous insects that survive in the end are extremely vigorous and bloodthirsty like devils, specializing in devouring human flesh.
There are two types of insect techniques: invisible and blood-sucking, and either one will make people talk about insect discoloration.
The so-called invisible is the use of those tiny poisonous insects to place under other people's pillows or food. After poisonous insects enter the human body, most of them are male and female, retrograde in the human blood or wriggle in the muscles of the human body, they unscrupulously lay eggs and reproduce, and finally trillions of larvae use the human body's support to grow into adult worms, and then occupy the human body.
When a living person is killed by insect art, their body is only left with a blackened skeleton and a pair of skins, which are all tenacious poisonous insects in life, which is simply a human skin worm nest, of course, this process will be very painful. It's just that it takes a lot of time for the invisible insect technique to end a life, so once discovered, it is possible to be cured.
However, the bloodsucking technique is different, the large and swarm of bloodsucking insects, the popularity that can be found hundreds of miles away, once encountered, the bloodsucking insects can suck the blood in the person's body in an instant, devour his flesh, and even the bones will be corroded by venom at all.
If my guess is correct, it's not a bloodsucker that we're encountering today. And it's the kind of mutated transparent bloodsucking worm, which makes you even more unguardable. Fortunately, Big Mouth and Gu Yi didn't know what was going on with the bloodsucking worms, otherwise they would have been shocked and lost their combat power.
I don't know if the two of them heard my loud voice, anyway, those shiny transparent bloodsucking insects on the water surface quickly rushed towards me, the so-called heroes don't eat the losses in front of me, so I took a deep breath and dived underwater, praying in my heart, don't follow me, otherwise I really have no way out.
However, it is reassuring that after I dived, those transparent bloodsucking insects did not chase after me, but just quietly swam on the water.
The underwater light is very weak, and there is a dead silence all around, and no matter which direction it is, it is a dark blue that cannot be seen at a glance. As my body sank, the water temperature became colder and colder, and when I was about to cramp in my legs, I finally didn't dare to dive, and I squinted with difficulty to find the shadow of the big mouth and Gu Yi.
Soon, two black figures swam towards me quickly, Dazui and Gu Yi.
Seeing that the two of them were safe, I relaxed a little, but the time was too short for us to enjoy the joy of the rest of our lives, so I determined the direction, signaled to them, and swam forward.
I was driving at full speed as I stared at the schistosomes above my head, lest they would come after me.
I don't know how far I can dive in one breath, and I can't think of so much during the escape, anyway, I can live a little longer, and life may appear after you have an extra breath.
Finally there was a stone wall of Hesse in front of him, covered with purple moss, and some tiny plankton, black pressure changing shapes, flashing around quickly.
I realized that I couldn't hold my breath anymore, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it to the shore.
Approaching the stone wall a little bit, my lungs ached, and the blood in my chest began to churn, although I couldn't see my own appearance, I guess my eyes were about to fall out.
Ten meters or twenty meters, there is no concept in my mind, some are just dizzy tinnitus caused by lack of oxygen, and my eyelids are heavy and I can only squint with difficulty to open a finer slit, which is the precursor of drowning death, and if I don't breathe, I will become a floating corpse in the holy water river.
The stone wall grew clearer and clearer, but I couldn't hold on for a second, and with my last breath, I swam upwards frantically. As soon as I died, I chose to be tortured to death by bloodsucking insects, at least I could take a few breaths of pleasure instead of my lungs exploding and dying.
However, just when I was about to surface, I felt that the backpack behind me was torn off, and then there was a soft mouthpiece, pried open my teeth and stuffed it into my mouth hard, it was oxygen, it turned out that a breath is so important to people, I swear, if I don't die in the future, I will use all my life's energy to plant trees and create gas.
I swallowed frantically, and my mind began to clear, and I was very moved to look at the thin figure in front of me. It was Gu Yi, who was looking at me in a panic and gesturing to me.
Her cleanup is very unprofessional, I can only understand superficially, there are still thirty meters from the shore, Gu Yi just let me hold on.
Well, I admit that I was reckless just now, and I see hope again.
Gu Yi pulled my backpack with his hand and swam forward quickly, the big mouth swam not far in front of us, and finally I was about to go ashore, looking at the black stone wall that I could reach, I felt a burst of ecstasy in my heart.
However, what is a misfortune is not a one-way street, and I now know that it is not something that people talk about casually.
Just when Gu Yi and I reached out to touch a raised stone at the same time, we suddenly felt that the water under our bodies seemed to be boiling and churning, followed by a very strong suction, Gu Yi and I turned our heads and were forcibly pulled to the deep water, and the sky swirled blank in our minds, and we watched the big mouth get farther and farther away from us, and instantly seemed to fall into an ice hole.
It was too sudden, without the slightest defense, I hugged Gu Yi's waist and sank rapidly, the big bubble of the bowl flickered in front of me, the light became dimmer and dimmer, only a faint light, it was a diving lamp from the top of Gu Yi's head.
The suction power is getting stronger and stronger, I don't know where this inexplicable power comes from, it can't be a mechanism, it can't be a spring, there is only one explanation, that is, a huge creature, the Holy Water River Water Protector Beast? That legendary giant beast? I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I was desperate.
In the churning, Gu Yi pinched my arm hard, and at the same time motioned me to look down, it didn't matter, I gasped, I was indeed guessed.
A large black object, only partially illuminated by the light, and more than two feet long, was opening its large mouth of blood basin more than a meter wide to shrink and expand at us.
Strictly speaking, it is a suction cup, not a mouth, the suction cup is less than five or six meters away from us, and it is very clear to see that it is surrounded by disgusting red sarcomas, there are hundreds, and the flesh line around the sarcomas is more than a meter long and swings back and forth.
Very disgusting, I want to vomit, the smell is monstrous.
I can't imagine what it's like to be sucked into the stomach by a monster, just looking at those sarcomas with black and red flesh turned out, it can disgust the dead.
Since you can't get rid of death, then death has some value, be a dying struggle.
I hugged Gu Yi's waist tightly with one hand, and the other hand was pulled out on my leg*, and at the moment when I was close to the sucker, a meter-long military spur was aimed at the most conspicuous sarcoma, and with a poof, a foul-smelling pasty liquid sprayed towards me, the distance was too short to dodge, and I only felt a hot heat at my neck.
After the struggle, close your eyes and wait for death.
Gu Yi's trembling hands tightly wrapped around my waist, and I gave up resistance, and the two hugged each other, holding the mood of being a companion on the Huangquan Road, waiting to pass through the disgusting suction mouth, and then enter the stomach along the monster's intestines, and be melted clean by gastric juice unscrupulously.
In an instant, I thought of Big Mouth, hoping that he would be safe, keep a seed of revolution, and find a vast world to take root and sprout in the future, my brother will go first, and my road will not be lonely.
It may be the moment * poked at the sarcoma, the monster closed the suction cup in pain, anyway, the way I imagined death did not appear, but hit those sarcomas hard, like falling from a high altitude, falling on a sponge, first a strong impulse, and then a strong rebound.
"Not dead? "I suddenly wanted to laugh, grunted, and poured a few mouthfuls of disgusting water.
Since I didn't die, I had a chance to live, and with the strength of the rebound, I quickly went upstream with Gu Yi in my arms, and I was about to run out of oxygen, and I don't know when I lost Gu Yi's offering bottle.
The bottom of the holy water river is like a dark hell, and no matter how hard you try, there is always darkness and fear around you.
Suddenly, there was another upside down and churning under the water, and those bubbles rushed us in the direction we deviated and crashed directly in one direction. At the same time, a terrible cry was amplified a hundredfold and a thousand times, and the eardrum shook as if it was about to burst.
Catching up, a huge black image of a small submarine, quickly approaching us in an S shape.
At this time, the force imposed on us has disappeared, and just relying on the speed of the two of us paddling, it is simply the end of the road, I secretly scolded: "Fuck, you can't be painful to die, and you will be teased"
I clenched my grip* again, ready to take my last breath and try again to see if I could escape, because the black monster was close to death, and even if he died today, Cui Ye would have to stab a few holes in his body.
