Volume 2 The Lost Lost City Chapter 147 The River Demon
The little thing was covered by the coat, and struggled desperately, even breaking free from the gown one by one. Grandpa didn't seem to be able to get enough of the fight, so he grabbed a broken stone directly from the side and smashed the little thing fiercely.
The little things finally couldn't calm down, and despite the threat of bullets, they still rushed forward without hesitation.
Seeing that the little thing that was pressed under his grandfather lost his resistance, grandpa grabbed the little thing violently, and with a flash in his hand, there was an extra dagger, which was on the eyeball of the little thing.
An incredible scene appeared, the little things on the opposite side, all stopped, and then they all knelt down, and a sharp scream came out of their throats, and they were begging for mercy.
Grandpa smiled, and the blood on his face flowed faster. I immediately ran up and wiped my grandfather with a tissue.
Bradbury immediately took out the cable, tied it around the neck of the little thing, and scolded the little thing with great might: "You stupid donkeys, put down Lao Tzu's things, and then get out, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill your head now." ”
With that, Bradbury made the move to kill their boss.
The little things wept even more, and fell to the ground, wailing bitterly.
The few little things that snatched our equipment also quietly threw our equipment on the ground and ran away in disgrace.
Lao Wang Ba was excited for a while: "Quick, re-equip the equipment, let's hurry up, this thing must know the way here, we estimate that we can go out tonight." ”
As soon as Lao Wang Ba reminded us, we reacted, indeed, this is a good choice for us, so we did not hesitate to pack up our equipment, and after tying it to the horse, grandpa led the little thing forward.
At first the little thing wouldn't take us away, just curled up on the ground and didn't move.
Grandpa finally lit a torch, and the little thing was really scared, and hurriedly led the way in front.
And the little things behind didn't dare to catch up at will, but they followed from a distance, and they couldn't get rid of it.
As we walked forward, Grandpa told us about this little thing.
Grandpa told us that this little thing was actually a kappa, something between a man and a water monkey, and that it was a very rare creature with higher intelligence than a monkey.
And this kind of group living phenomenon is even rarer, and it feels like they are hiding here, there should be some purpose. And there are no creatures here, so I can't figure out what they eat for a living.
I didn't expect this little thing to be the legendary kappa, and I was very surprised. I used to hear stories from the older generation, and there were a lot of stories about kappa.
However, the kappa in the old man's mouth, with its green face and fangs, is the head of a dog and the body of a man, and now it seems that the situation is the opposite, it is the head of a man and the body of a monkey, and this strange combination is really quite surprising.
When I think of this guy's intelligence, a little weaker than a person, my conscience is a little unbearable, what is the difference between this and being imprisoned?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly said "I'm grass".
I immediately asked what was wrong?
Desert stretched out his finger and pointed at the kappa.
I immediately looked over and was stunned.
The kappa seemed to be hungry, and was turning over the earth beside a swamp, grabbing earthworms from under the dirt, soaking them in the water, and then stuffing them whole into his mouth and devouring them.
The earthworm struggled in pain, but the more the thing struggled, the more excited the kappa became, and swallowed a dozen sticky earthworms in two clicks, making me sick to my stomach and retching.
I saw that this little thing was so pitiful, so I grabbed a bit of beef jerky from my pocket and threw it away.
The kappa paused for a moment, and looked at me suspiciously.
I also took out a piece of beef jerky and took a bite. The kappa then picked up the beef jerky little by little, put it in his mouth and chewed it.
But as soon as I took a bite, the kappa immediately spit out the beef jerky, as if he had eaten poison, and threw the rest of the beef jerky at me, foaming at the mouth, clutching his throat as if he was out of breath, which looked very strange.
I was taken aback by his violent reaction, this guy should be allergic to beef jerky, looking at his appearance, he was poisoned at all.
Grandpa sneered: "Ignore it." This is an attempt to cheat death. It thinks you're throwing poison at it. ”
As soon as Grandpa finished speaking, the little thing was lying on the ground, motionless, with its feet facing the sky, and its face was hideous, as if it were dead.
I laughed dumbly, this kappa is actually playing dead? It's hilarious.
Desertion was immediately overjoyed, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the little thing.
The little thing was still lying on the ground and dying.
Grandpa simply tied the rope to his lap and said leave him alone, let's eat first, and it will naturally stop pretending later.
I nodded, sat down and started eating.
I was worried that the little thing would suddenly take advantage of Grandpa's inattention and pull him into the swamp, which would be too dangerous to be tied directly to his legs.
Grandpa told me that it was okay, such a distance was just enough for him not to get into the water, as long as he didn't get into the water, he couldn't use all his strength. That's when I breathed a sigh of relief.
We ate a little bit, and the little thing lay on the ground the whole time without moving.
It wasn't until we were finally finished eating and ready to leave that Grandpa grabbed the kappa and kicked it. Only then did it realize that it was pointless to pretend to be dead, so it calmly got up and continued to lead us forward.
I laughed dumbly, this kappa's intelligence is indeed incomparable to other animals, at least the skin is thicker than ordinary animals.
We ended up walking for a whole day and a night, and we still didn't get out of the swamp. The kappa's companion seemed to have abandoned it and stopped following it.
The old king began to suspect that the kappa was playing with us, so he trampled the kappa under his feet, pointed a gun at the kappa's head, and made a gesture to kill him.
The kappa immediately shook his hands and begged for mercy, chattering incessantly, and then pointed us in the direction ahead with his hand.
"This thing seems to have been specially trained by people." Grandpa said, "I am so familiar with human body movements, and I can also react to human prophecies. ”
"Kill me, and I don't believe this ferocious thing will be trained by humans." Lao Wang Ba sneered: "These cold-blooded beasts are too treacherous, damn, I think it just doesn't want to take us out." ”
Grandpa said, "I always think he's going to take us somewhere." I think I might as well go with it. ”
"Grass." Lao Wang Ba was angry: "Follow it, even if it takes us to its nest, we don't know, in my opinion, it's better to kill this bastard directly, grass, disgusting me." ”
Grandpa looked at me: "Liu Yang, what do you think?" ”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "This thing is treacherous and cunning, let's not be afraid of ten thousand just in case, it's better to kill it and not let it lead the way." ”
Grandpa frowned and looked at the desertion. Desertion shrugged: "I can't pay attention to it." ”
Bradbury seems to have seen that kappa is not pleasing to the eye, after all, Bradbury has suffered the most losses from the kappa, so he can't wait to take out his gun and prepare to kill him: "In my opinion, forget it, this little bastard has a grudge, even if we can escape, he will definitely not let us go, and will continue to attack us." ”
He was telling the truth.
Grandpa also obeyed the majority, simply nodded, and ignored the kappa.
Bradbury walked up with a sinister smile on his face, and the little thing was really frightened, and trembling to go backwards. However, he was tied to a rope, and he could only keep kicking his legs in place.
Bradbury snorted coldly: "Little thing, go die, Lao Tzu is not something you want to provoke." ”
Looking at the kappa's struggle, I was moved by compassion. But I knew that there must be something hateful about this little poor man, so I simply ignored him.
"Dead people." A sharp voice suddenly came, and when I heard this unfamiliar voice, I immediately shuddered.
"Who's talking?" Grandpa looked around vigilantly, and subconsciously stood in front of me.
Bradbury screamed at the top of his lungs, "This little brute...... The little brute spoke, grass, what the hell is this? ”
Bradbury was startled by the thing, screamed and shot the kappa.
The kappa curled up in pain, staring at us with unwilling eyes, and the mouth that was a bit like a rabbit's lips was making a difficult sound: "River Demon." ”
I gasped when it turned out to be a kappa speaking.
Damn, isn't this a brute? How could a brute speak? I looked at my grandfather, and his expression was full of shock. Professor Will was even more excited, and couldn't help but want to walk up, but was dragged by Lao Wangba.
Lao Wang Ba laughed excitedly: "I knew it...... I knew this little beast wasn't that simple. ”
Professor Will also said excitedly: "I'll just say it...... I'll just say that this little thing has complex vocal cords, and it can actually make human sounds. ”
"No fuss." Grandpa said, "Parrots can also speak." ”
"It's different." Professor Will was not convinced, and defended: "Parrots speak, they only learn to speak. But the kappa is saying what it means, and it can say what it means in human language. ”
Grandpa said: "It said that the river demon, do you really think there is a river demon here?" ”
Professor Will immediately nodded: "I believe, really believe." ”
I gasped, and to be honest, I also felt as if the little thing was deliberately conveying a message to us, a message about the "river demon".
River Demon, does it really exist?
I looked at the little thing, and the eyes of the little thing were full of complicated feelings, and it gave me the feeling that it was a person looking at me.
Bradbury said, "Where there is a river demon, there is a demon in this world." It's playing tricks on me to kill him. ”
Lao Wang Ba rushed forward with an arrow and snatched the gun from Bradbury's hand: "Stop, it's useless to escape." Even if it doesn't take us there, we will encounter the river demon, so it's better for us to let this little thing take us there, it's best to get around, we can't get around, we can only fight to the death with the other party. ”
Bradbury was a little angry, this was the first time since I met the two of them that Bradbury had been angry with Lao Wang.
He roared: "Eighth Master, let's talk about it, we came here to find the Twelve Witch Ancestor Tombs, even if we find something more meaningful than the Twelve Witch Ancestor Tombs, don't bother with it." If you do that, you're breaking the contract. ”
Lao Wang Ba sneered: "Who said that this river demon has nothing to do with the Twelve Witch Ancestral Tombs?" If you refuse to go, I will not stop you. ”
"You ......" Bradbury was angry, but he couldn't refute Lao Wangba, so he could only turn his head angrily and ignore Lao Wangba.
