Chapter 799: Water Cat
It's also strange to say, after coming down from the waterfall, I felt that a little corpse gas in the water had completely disappeared, but the water temperature was still very low, when I took Liu Shangang back to the water, I obviously felt that Liu Shangang was trembling, and seeing that the shore was not far away, I quickly pulled him to swim there.
I pushed Liu Shangang ashore first, and as soon as he got ashore, he immediately sat on the ground and shook the sole of his left foot hard, the water temperature was too low, and it seemed that Liu Shangang was a little cramped.
"Hurry up and move, the water temperature is too low, and it is easy to have problems if it goes on like this." Liu Shangang stood up while beating his calves, and said the same thing.
I nodded: "I remember that there is a chocolate bar in the backpack, eat some first, and you need to have energy to move." ”
As I spoke, I deliberately looked directly across the road, and there seemed to be a hole there, and the light of the headlamp did not fully illuminate the area, I just felt as if there was a wind blowing there, but this feeling was not particularly clear.
Liu Shangang took out two wet bags from his backpack and handed one of them to me: "Only these two can still be eaten, and the others are all broken." ”
I took what he handed me and asked him, "Where did you go after you fell into the water?" ”
Liu Shangang pointed in the direction I was facing: "It should be in that direction, I heard his footsteps when I was up there, but ......"
Halfway through, he got stuck, and I could only ask him, "But what?" ”
Liu Shangang: "But Brother Zai's footsteps only appeared for a short time and disappeared, and I don't know what happened, it disappeared suddenly." ”
At this moment, there was a faint corpse aura in the waterhole behind me, and I immediately made a silent gesture at Liu Shangang, and turned my head to look behind me.
The corpse qi was approaching the water at a very slow speed, I knew that it must be the water cat coming up, but I always felt that this corpse qi was a little different from the water cat, it seemed to be more mellow, but in terms of purity, the two were the same.
Liu Shangang didn't seem to notice that something was approaching the water, so I raised my chin at him and whispered, "Didn't you hear any movement?" ”
Liu Shangang was silent for a while, as if listening carefully, and after a while, he quickly shook his head.
Liu Shangang couldn't even detect the movement of that thing, and the corpse qi on its body was actually very weak, so Liang Houzai might not be able to detect its existence.
I don't know if the water cat can detect the movement of me and Liu Shangang now, but I quietly leaned down and helped Liu Shangang up, trying not to make any noise during the process.
We can't afford to waste time on the water cat, we have to leave right away.
The corpse qi was still approaching, but the speed was still very slow, and I asked Liu Shangang, "Do you still have clay explosives in your backpack?" ”
Liu Shangang nodded, and then was about to reach for the backpack, I shook my head at him: "Don't worry, take it out when necessary." Try to keep your voice quiet. ”
As I spoke, I helped him walk towards the place that was likely to be the entrance of the cave just now, Liu Shangang's feet had just cramped, and now he was not walking normally, but he was still very careful to suppress his footsteps, and we walked so unfast and not slow, even the breath was almost completely held.
I hope that something below the surface of the water can't hear us, and that by the time it reaches the surface, we'll be out of its pursuit.
It turned out that I was still too optimistic, and Liu Shangang and I didn't wait to take a few steps before we felt the corpse qi under the water suddenly stir, and then it suddenly picked up speed and rushed to the surface.
At this time, I couldn't care so much, so I hurriedly ran with Liu Shangang, and before I could run far, the headlamp illuminated the scene ahead.
Wherever there was a hole in front of me, it was a bare stone wall, with a thin layer of water vapor attached to it, and the light hit it, reflecting a soft glow.
Liu Shangang: "No, Brother Zai's footsteps are clearly in this direction...... Isn't that Brother Zai's backpack? ”
He raised his hand and pointed to the bottom of the stone wall, and I saw a half-deflated canvas bag sandwiched between two stalactites, and the strap looked like it had been cut by something very sharp.
If I'm not mistaken, Liang Houzai should have only had a dagger and a sapper shovel on his body, but both of them were hanging from the side pocket of his backpack at this time.
Something has taken Hakuzai away!
That's the first thought that pops into my head when I see the backpack.
And the circumstances didn't allow me to have a second thought, because at that moment, I felt that the corpse qi had reached the surface.
Liu Shangang finally noticed the abnormality, he quickly broke free of my hand, turned around, raised the gun, and aimed at the location where the corpse qi appeared.
There was a clattering sound, and there should have been a large number of waves on the water, too far away for the light to shine there, but although I couldn't see what was going on in the pool, I could feel that the corpse qi was rushing towards us at a very fast speed.
Liu Shangang did not hesitate for a moment, fired several shots in a row, and with each shot, he would quickly turn the muzzle of the gun.
I can also feel that every time Liu Shangang shoots, the corpse qi will dodge left and right at a very fast speed, its speed is not comparable to the bullet, Liu Shangang can hit it with every shot, but it seems to miss the vital point, because the movement speed of the thing has not slowed down at all.
When it was about to leave the darkness and enter the light area, Liu Shangang's magazine was empty, he quickly took out the magazine and a piece of clay explosives from his backpack, and when he changed the magazine, the guy hiding in the dark also stopped moving.
"Damn, the explosives can't be used." Liu Shangang hatefully threw the clay bomb in his hand and felt out the magazine of the armor-piercing bullet.
I slapped Liu Shangang with the blade of the green steel sword: "Don't use armor-piercing bullets, there are other ways to deal with it." ”
Liu Shangang picked up the gun and aimed at the darkness not far away: "How can I cooperate with you." ”
"Act on the opportunist."
As soon as my voice fell, Liu Shangang's side was a gunshot of "Bang", and something hidden in the darkness briefly appeared in our field of vision, but after a moment's light, it retreated into the darkness.
I could see it in general, it was indeed a huge water cat, and unlike normal water cats, which always had soft and shiny hair, the hair on its body formed into fist-sized balls, which looked like warts on the body of a toad from a distance. And this water cat is not the first one we have seen, it is larger, with a head and tail length of at least five meters.
I had a feeling that the reason why it hid in the dark and didn't come out was that it seemed to be afraid of something on me, and the moment it appeared just now, it glanced at me.
If you are afraid, why do you want to catch up, the last water cat will use the vortex in the river to hide the smell on its body and the sound it makes when it acts, indicating that this thing has a high IQ.
?
I don't believe that it was terrified when it came up and discovered the anomaly.
In addition, the last water cat has not appeared again since it hidden, at that time it may have several opportunities to attack me and Liu Shangang, but why has it never appeared, even if it approaches us from the bottom of the water, it has to use other evil corpses to cover, which seems to indicate that it can sense the dangerous aura on me when it is far away from me.
?
They seem to have been driven by some force to rush at us, and it seems to have stopped because the closer I got, the heavier the fear becomes.
?
Liu Shangang fired three more shots, and I waved my hand at him: "Don't waste bullets." ”
?
He frowned and didn't shoot again.
?
Holding the sword upside down, I leaned into the darkness, and as I advanced, I could feel the corpse qi in the darkness retreating.
?
It was really jealous of me, but I could also feel that the water cat was hesitant in its retreat, and the force that drove it did not seem to intend to make it give up on its prey.
?
I tried to take a few steps towards the cat, and it quickly retreated a distance, but then stopped, and the light of the headlamp became a little brighter.
?
The huge figure of the water cat was completely visible to me, he was hunched over and staring at me, the warts made of hair on his body were shaking, and the water droplets were dripping down the hairs to the ground.
?
I flashed my bluesteel sword, and it shrank back and bared its fangs at me.
?
It was in a very frightened state now, but this panic did not come from me, it looked at me with a hint of hesitation in its eyes, but it was not me who made him nervous and arched its back, but something behind it.
?
I tried to glance behind the water cat, but my eyes swept over its back, but all I could see was the darkness.
?
Anyway, this water cat is hostile to me and Liu Shangang. I leaned two more at it, and it pursed its mouth, all its fangs exposed, but its body didn't move.
?
The light illuminated the whole face of the water cat, and I faced the water cat, but my mouth shouted to Liu Shangang: "Shoot, shoot the eyes!" ”
?
Liu Shangang didn't hesitate at all, and a gunshot rang out behind me, but when this sound appeared, the body of the water cat shook violently.
?
It dodged the whistling bullet, and the moment it dodged, I saw a wart in the corner of its eye suddenly explode, and Liu Shangang's bullet did not hit its left eye, but only rubbed against the wart.
?
The water cat seemed to become irritable for a moment, and he quickly stabilized his body, and then I felt the corpse qi in its body fluctuate for a very short time.
?
The last time the corpse qi quickly approached me, there was also such a fluctuation.
?
I immediately realized that something was wrong, and immediately shrank back and rolled on the spot.
?
Just as I was rolling a short distance against the ground, I felt my backpack be hung, first my back sank, and then the contents of the backpack were scattered all over the ground.
?
This canvas bag was originally very strong, how many times I took it to the wind and rain, and it was stumbling and scratching, it has not broken a few times, and now it is just hung up, and the cloth of the backpack is completely open.
?
Thinking of the cut marks on Liang Houzai's backpack, I expected that the claws of the water cat must be very sharp, and Liang Houzai was probably taken away by it, and now his life and death are unknown.
?
I still have to find Liang Houzai, I don't have time to spend it down, I have to fight quickly.
?
After I stabilized my body, the water cat also landed on the ground, and I glanced at it, quickly calculating the battle plan in my head.
?
This guy is incredibly fast, and he's huge, and his strength is definitely not small. When it lands on all fours, it is difficult for us to hurt it, but when its body is thrown in mid-air, it is subject to the divisibility of the laws of physics like us, and cannot move at will.
?
So, the next time it jumps, that's when Sang and I do it.
?
The water cat did not make any new movements for the time being, and I immediately said to Liu Shangang: "Intercept it in mid-air and hit it in the mouth and eyes." ”
?
Liu Shangang was taking something out of his backpack, and while staring at the water cat, he said to me: "It moves too fast, and it is difficult to hit it in mid-air, so when I call you, you can quickly distance yourself from it." ”
