In a panic, I felt a chill in my heart, followed by a tingling pain!

And the toad jumped directly over me, and the steel thorn in his hand stabbed at the monster behind him! Only then did I stabilize my body, reach out and touch my back, and my hands were already full of blood!

"Hurt!" I screamed a little at a loss, looked up, but was stunned for a moment, and when I saw the body of the monster, I knew why the toad was so frightened before!

The human-sized monster was so mutated: it looked like a disfigured human face from a distance, and beneath its long neck was a wolf-like body, covered in brown hair, and even more bizarre, with a pair of huge wings on its back!

What the hell is this?! It's simply the devil incarnation in ancient Chinese mythology!

The thought of one of these standing behind me just now gave me goosebumps in an instant!

However, the thing didn't seem to want to fight, and after dodging several attacks from the toad's close-quarters, it swept away from the lake like a snake with a wave of its wings, and disappeared in the blink of an eye......

The toad was snorting and panting, and it seemed that he really felt a little difficult to deal with such a monster.

"Are you alright?" I endured the pain and walked over to see that the toad's right forearm had been scratched by the sharp claws of the thing, and a deep bloody mouth was gurgling blood.

"It's okay, how are you?" The toad gave me a cold look and began to bandage his wounds.

I shrugged and showed him my back.

"It's okay, that thing scratched you a small wound." The toad said casually, and slapped it directly on my back.

"Ahh What are you doing?! I suddenly felt a piercing pain hit me, and I screamed in pain.

"This is a medicine to stop bleeding and disinfect, just shoot it." After speaking, the toad turned around and continued to deal with his wounds.

I frowned, and my mouth ached and inhaled: "What is that?" You know what? ”

"I don't know."

"I think I've seen this monster in some book." I began to rummage through the books I could remember, but I thought about it for a long time, and when the toad had healed the wound, I couldn't figure out what it was.

"Let's go, this place is not safe." The toad turned around and walked to leave, but suddenly heard a long howl of "whew-" not far away!

We looked at each other, not knowing what it was.

At this moment, the ground under my feet suddenly shook violently, I stumbled and almost fell, and hurriedly grabbed the toad's arm with one hand, and when I stood firm, I saw that the water level under my feet was rising, and soon my calf was submerged!

"Yes, that's a snake!" I saw the rapidly rising water of the lake, and finally remembered what that monster with a human face and a jackal body was.

There is a record of this thing in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but it is written in the book that this thing lives in the valleys of mountains, rivers and rivers, and every long howl will cause water to rise and flood, how can it appear in such a place? Of course, it stands to reason that this thing originally existed in legends, and it actually existed!

"That's not right!" The toad steadied himself and suddenly shouted, "Boy, do you feel that this is not the water level rising at all?!" It's the ground that's descending! ”

I was stunned for a moment, felt it carefully, and jumped twice, and the ground under my feet was really falling rapidly!

"Why is that?!" This is the first time I've encountered this situation, and I'm at a loss for a while.

"Wear waterproof clothing!" The toad cried, "I don't know what will come out!" ”

I answered and hurriedly took the waterproof suit out of my bag, and by the time I was done, the water had already reached my lower abdomen. At this moment, his feet have completely drifted off the ground, and the whole person is floating on the surface of the lake.

"Let's go, swim in the direction of the Seventh Master or Liang Ruoyi!" I yelled, glanced at the coordinates of the other people on the walkie-talkie, and swam over with my feet.

But as soon as I swam a step, I felt that my left foot was grabbed by something, and my body sank and I went straight into the water!

I wanted to scream, but I couldn't scream, and in the dark water, the flashlight tied to my wrist shone indiscriminately, and I reached out to take out the dagger, and my body sank, and I slashed at the thing that grabbed my left foot by feeling!

The toad also threw himself into the water at this time, and the thing seemed to be diverted by the toad, and I slashed it, and immediately suffered pain, and actually pulled me violently, and then threw me out like a cannonball!

With a loud "plop", I flew out of the water for two or three meters, fell heavily into the lake, and fell into the lake.

By the time I had stabilized my mind, the toad over there was already entangled with the snake. In the water, the toad's eighteen stickers of kung fu seemed to be more comfortable, the snake couldn't hold him for a while, after a few rounds of anger, simply spread his wings and waved, rushed out of the water directly, and then turned over and rushed into the water again, suddenly stirred up a splash, I couldn't see the situation inside.

"Bang-plop-"

The sound of the successive fights made my heart suddenly bottomless, thinking that the toad had lost his life, and I was even more unable to protect myself, so I simply gritted my teeth, clenched the dagger and dived into the water again.

The moment I entered the water, I turned off the flashlight, and my eyes quickly adapted to the darkness under the water, and I saw that the snake was rushing back and forth again and again, and the toad that had been engaged was a little physically exhausted, and it seemed that there was nothing to be done but parry.

No wonder it's called a toad, it turned out to be an amphibian.

After several impacts, the toad finally couldn't hold it anymore, and swam towards the surface of the water with both feet, and at the moment of swimming out of the water, it was slapped on the body by the snake's wings and slapped back into the water.

At this time, I happened to sneak under the toad, and when the snake's wings were flapped, I stabbed the dagger in my hand quickly!

With a muffled sound of "poof", the dagger in my hand directly pierced the snake's wings, and the monster was in pain, instinctively retracting its wings back, but it backfired, and cut its wings into a long bloody mouth, and planted it into the water with a "plop"!

The toad reacted very quickly, saw the snake fall into the water, quickly swam over, the chubby body to the back of the snake, and the arms locked its long neck, and then the body turned over from the snake's body like a flea, and heard a "click", the snake's neck was broken by the toad......

The toad was almost out of strength, and after completing the kill, its arms opened a little weakly and quickly swam out of the water, while the corpse of the snake slowly sank to the bottom of the lake......

"Whew......" I also hurriedly swam out of the water, gasping for breath: "Finally, finally kill it!" ”

The toad took out the life jacket from his bag and put it on in a hurry, and then he felt a little more relaxed: "Let's find the shore as soon as possible, instead of going in the direction of the other two teams!" ”

I nodded in agreement, now to be able to go ashore is the first place, the other two teams are far away from us, from the coordinates, almost half of Jilin City, swimming over is not necessarily the shore. And the toad and I have tried our best now, maybe we won't be able to hold on for that long.

If there is another snake at this time, we will have to eat in its belly.

I lit my flashlight, shone it around, and decided to swim vertically......

At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock at noon, and we swam for about ten minutes, and finally before twelve o'clock at noon, we saw a road that was not flooded.

After going ashore, the two of us sat down on the ground and rested for a while before we regained some strength, took off our life jackets, and took out food to eat.

The Seventh Master and the others are still going west, while Liang Ruoyi and the Budai monk are going to the northwest.

I suddenly remembered whether the land descent just now had something to do with our crossing of the Songhua River. However, at our pace, we should have crossed the Songhua River last night. And why is it not that the water level is rising, but that the land is falling? Is it a kind of mechanism?

I thought about it as I ate two loaves of bread and drank a few gulps of water before I felt a little more comfortable. At this time, the surface of the lake is calm again, and in the darkness it is like a huge bronze mirror, which makes people feel very strange......
