Chapter 35: The Water Ghost Monkey
After a loud pop, a three-foot-high splash of water erupted in the coffin pool, which had been silent for a long time. Yu Chengyao endured the sharp pain on his head and face, and quickly helped Xiaoyue's face in front of him.
The cold pool water froze Xiao Yue's lips purple, and Yu Chengyao hugged Xiao Yue tightly to do artificial respiration on her.
The bubbles kept rising, and the bodies of the two gradually stabilized and no longer sank.
Yu Chengyao held Xiaoyue in one hand and struggled upstream with the other. Xiao Yue nervously hugged Yu Chengyao, and her body did not move.
With the help of the eye of the sky, the underwater situation can be seen clearly, and the coffin pool is mysterious among the people of the village. Even if it's a legend, there will be a basis.
At this time, Yu Chengyao kept looking underwater, and the bottom of the pool could not be seen in the deep darkness below. And he fell from a height of two or three hundred meters, and he went deep into the water for more than 100 meters, and the impact of the weight of the two people together can be seen.
It is surrounded by smooth stone walls, and this stone is not a white stone like limestone, but a shiny and hard stone like a pebble.
There is no moss and algae on the stones, and the tentacles are cold to the bone. Although the stone wall was cold, Yu Chengyao still leaned against the stone wall to go upstream for the sake of insurance.
There was movement from above, and someone had fallen into the water. These three people are the elites of the Tongtian Cult, they are not bad at water, and after falling into the water, they quickly stabilized their bodies and found Yu Chengyao.
The three of them looked at each other in the water and swam towards Yu Chengyao, and they took off their soaked clothes and swam faster.
However, Yu Chengyao was not afraid of them, because the Gu jar in their hands had been broken, and they were also coming with their bare hands at this moment.
At this moment, the water became even colder. Xiaoyue involuntarily hugged Yu Chengyao's neck, and the sharp drop in water temperature made Yu Chengyao feel very bad.
There was a crackling sound in his ears, and the gloomy waterhole seemed to be someone slapping the stone wall with his hand, which made Yu Chengyao's scalp tingle.
He looked sideways at the people of the Tongtian Cult, but the bodies of the three suddenly disappeared.
It's not good, it's weird!
This was Yu Chengyao's reflection, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
Satsuki's body began to tremble, it should be frozen. Yu Chengyao tightened his hand holding Xiao Yue again, and he tried his best to keep his body close to Xiao Yue's body.
There was a sudden slippery and slippery feeling under his feet, which entangled Yu Chengyao's feet. Yu Chengyao thought at first that Xiao Yue's feet were hooking him, but the slippery feeling became more and more wrong.
Wrap your feet around him like a snake, and then a pull comes from under the water, trying to pull him and Satsuki into the water.
Yu Chengyao was taken aback, and his heart changed drastically. There won't really be water monkeys in this coffin pool...... At this time, the dull crackling sound of lapping against the stone wall became louder and louder, and the rhythm became more and more frequent.
A cold breath came up from under the water, making Yu Chengyao's heart chill.
After encountering fusion, Yu Chengyao did not panic, but looked down slightly. Underneath was a black tentacle that looked a bit like an octopus's tentacle, but Yu Chengyao was sure it wasn't an octopus'.
Because there are no suction cups on the tentacles, and this is a deep pool of fresh water, it is impossible for octopuses to be deep-sea creatures. The strength of that tentacle was also very strong, and it was very difficult for Yu Chengyao's legs to kick.
The appearance of the tentacles made Yu Chengyao very worried, and he glanced at Xiao Yue, who was closed at this time. His face was pale, his lips were black, and his body trembled.
All her reflections tell Yu Chengyao that she is cold, needs to breathe, and needs temperature!
But after being caught in the tentacles, it was difficult for Yu Chengyao to swim again. He looked sideways around the water again, and he spotted the trio from the Tongtian Cult.
The three of them were very close to Yu Chengyao, about five meters. All three were naked, and they struggled in the water. The huge blisters completely obscured the vision around their bodies, and although Yu Chengyao knew in his heart that they were also entangled in something, he didn't know what they were entangled in.
Although the three people were entangled in their tentacles, Yu Chengyao felt even more nervous.
The dangerous water and unknown creatures gave Yu Chengyao great pressure in his heart. Yu Chengyao is making a difficult resistance. He can't be pulled back underwater, or both he and Satsuki will die here.
When he looked down, Yu Chengyao saw black tentacles extending rapidly upward underwater. It's like long black hair, swaying in the water.
The dense tentacles had spread to the bottom of the lake, and the number was simply incalculable. These tentacles were constantly entwined around the people in the water, and Yu Chengyao could clearly feel that five tentacles had been wrapped around his feet.
The slippery, cold tentacles wrapped around his bare feet and his thighs, and the lower half of his body was basically wrapped around them.
Xiao Yue's feet are also there, and the tentacles are still pulling Xiao Yue's body to separate Yu Chengyao and Xiao Yue.
Yu Chengyao hugged Xiaoyue tightly, and his other hand began to reach into his bag to pick up something.
At this moment, a head suddenly popped up behind Satsuki's back. The skin is iron blue, the surface is very bright, and there is no hair but human facial features.
A pair of turquoise eyes shimmered like jewels, and its face twisted in the water. There were also bursts of eerie sounds, like the cries of a woman. Its gaze was opposite Yu Chengyao's, and it was only twenty centimeters away from Yu Chengyao.
It has an open mouth and no teeth in it. A black tongue, like a snake letter. The cold breath came to his face one after another, and a sticky liquid covered Yu Chengyao's face.
This thing can't be a water monkey, Yu Chengyao was a little panicked. Reached out to fight, but the opponent's speed in the water was very fast, and after dodging Yu Chengyao's attack, he once again peeked out from behind Xiao Yue's back to see Yu Chengyao.
Yu Chengyao hurriedly opened the backpack, and the waterproof backpack was immediately flooded when the zipper was opened. The spell was glued into paper balls, and the lighter was scrapped. The only thing that could be used was a small knife and a shrunken soul bell and six soul flags, and Yu Chengyao assessed in his heart that these three things could not cause damage to those tentacles, which inevitably made Yu Chengyao a little disappointed.
Yu Chengyao's eyes were obscured by the sticky liquid, but Yu Chengyao did not compromise, he took out the knife and re-zipped the backpack. He cut his finger with a knife, and the blood on his finger quickly melted into the water.
A man's blood has yang energy, and Yu Chengyao's blood is not only yang but also highly poisonous! Whatever is underwater, at least give it a try.
Yu Chengyao's bet was really right, after blood and water were integrated. The head behind Satsuki immediately disappeared, and the tentacles that wrapped around him immediately loosened.
The tentacles on Satsuki's body were also loosened, and after being freed from the entanglement of the tentacles, Yu Chengyao regained his freedom. A strong feeling of suffocation made him very uneasy, and the only breath in his mouth was spit out to Satsuki, but Satsuki was already unconscious at this time.
After the breath spits into Satsuki's mouth, it immediately leaks out from the edge of her lips, becoming a blister and rising.
There were still dozens of meters away from the water, and the clothes on his body were soaked with water, and the weight increased dramatically to prevent him from rising. Yu Chengyao could only start to undress, and after taking off his coat, he also took off Xiaoyue's coat.
When the weight on the body is reduced, the speed of the upstream also increases. The two of them struggled to float from the water to the surface, and Yu Chengyao lifted Xiaoyue's upper body out of the water, and he also took a deep breath.
While breathing, you can look at the surface of the pool, and on the left is the top of the stone wall.
At this time, Yu Chengyao discovered that the big stone exposed on the water surface and the underwater stone wall were a whole, and the inner end of the stone face was also connected to the cliff next to it. The width of the stone face is about one meter and a half, smooth and cold, and Yu Chengyao climbed the stone face with difficulty after pushing Xiaoyue onto the stone.
On the surface of the water, Yu Chengyao hurriedly gave Xiao Yue artificial respiration, and only after pulling Xiao Yue back from the ghost gate did he begin to observe the surrounding environment.
The temperature on the surface of the cold coffin is a little higher than the underwater temperature, but it is still very cold. There were vines above, plus it was cloudy and dimly lit.
The pond is still surrounded by stone walls, which are covered with vines and some weeds. Yu Chengyao tried that these vines were not forced, and the weeds were not forced.
It is difficult to climb from here, and the rock where Yu Chengyao is now located extends to both ends of the coffin pool. Inside are towering stone walls, and outside are steep cliffs. There is a pool at the bottom of the cliff, and the water is blue and you can't see the bottom of the water.
It will not work to jump rashly, because there is no way to determine whether there are stones under the water, and if there are stones, it is very dangerous.
It is also not safe to climb the rock wall, because there is very little place to borrow power from the stone wall. Yu Chengyao hesitated, not knowing how to get out of here.
Jumping off the vines was arguably a big mistake and shouldn't have been. But at this time, it was too late to regret it, and Yu Chengyao estimated that he still tried to climb.
He took off his clothes and tied the unconscious Satsuki to himself, and then began to try rock climbing. The climb was not smooth, and it took several descent to reach the top of the cliff.
After escaping, Yu Chengyao entered the mountain again and ran towards Panlong Mountain. The three people under the water must have died and died, and now that the cloaked man is the only one left, he shouldn't be chasing after him again.
Yu Chengyao took Xiao Yue back to the wooden house, changed Xiao Yue into dry clothes and lit a fire to test the heat.
That night, Xiaoyue had a high fever, and Yu Chengyao had heard of some earthworks. However, they are all used for the treatment of high fever in children, wrap a Yuan Datou and yellow mud with strips of cloth, and soak them in cold water and apply them to Xiaoyue's forehead.
In the second half of the night, Satsuki was a little sober, and after waking up, she began to toss. Constant talk in my dreams, and occasional struggles.
Yu Chengyao was tired of coping after being awakened, and he added firewood to the brazier. Satsuki's high fever has also dropped a lot, but the strip of cloth has been dried by the temperature on her body.
He soaked it again and put it on Satsuki. Looking at Xiaoyue, Yu Chengyao was distressed.
This escape made her suffer a lot, and she felt that her promise to Xiaoyue not to let her be wronged was the same as farting.
He was annoyed and hated that he hadn't taken care of Satsuki.
Xiao Yue tossed for a while and gradually fell asleep, and at dawn Yu Chengyao was awakened again.
There was a burst of scolding from outside the house: "Quick, break this formation for Lao Tzu!" ”
"This ...... Young Lord, we ...... We ......"
"Waste, a bunch of wastes who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" The cloaked man's voice came again.
Looking at Xiao Yue lying on the bed, the deep hatred that had accumulated in Yu Chengyao's heart for a long time was completely ignited, and a ruthless plan germinated in his heart.
