Chapter 10 The Salmon
The old itch said so, but how could we escape quickly with our bows in the neck-deep water, I flapped a few times, and when I looked back, the triangular water marks had rushed towards me like lightning, and the surface of the water that passed by was turbid.
I quickly strapped my flashlight to my wrist and plunged headlong into the water, ready to swim and escape. But the equipment on my back is too heavy, a person with physical strength like me, can't afford it at all, I only swim out half of it and am exhausted, so I have to stop again, this stop and turn back, the triangular water marks have approached directly, and there is no point in escaping again.
If it had been me, I would have been a Muggle at this time, and I might have stood here waiting to die, but after all those previous experiences, especially after the submarine tomb was almost caught in a pancake by that mechanism, I had a different view of life and death.
Compared to the experience of being cornered in a submarine tomb and having to be lucky to survive, the current scene is simply pediatric.
The monster rushed over like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, my heart was bright, and I told myself that when this kind of thousand equals is fired, the slightest hesitation will be in danger, and it is better to give it a go than to be afraid. I pulled out the dagger stuck in the belt, carried the backpack to the front as a shield, and beckoned the old itch to help, but found that this kid had escaped more than ten meters away, and I couldn't hear how to scream.
I scolded his ten generations of ancestors in my heart, and at this time, I didn't allow me to think about it anymore, I lowered my body, and I was ready to eat the blow of this monster. The triangular water marks came quickly, and when they reached about three feet in front of me, suddenly a twisted ripple appeared on the surface of the water, but the water marks disappeared.
Whether it's too late or fast, before I can wonder, suddenly a splash exploded in front of my eyes, and at the same time, a huge force hit my chest, this time it was too fast. I didn't know what was going on, I choked on a mouthful of stinky water in my nose, and I couldn't open my eyes.
I was pressed into the water by this force, and I swam forward, and all of a sudden I was pushed out more than ten meters, and I didn't have time to breathe when I entered the water, and my breath was very short, and it was almost to the limit. If you keep pushing it down, you have to suffocate, so I gritted my teeth, cāo picked up the dagger and messed around with a bucket, I felt a shock in my hand, and I didn't know where the bucket was, the guy was in pain, and twisted in the water. The whole person who threw me upside down, and I slammed my head against the wall, and I was blindfolded all at once.
But the knife worked anyway, and I felt my chest loosen, and the power was gone, and I knew it was relieved. Struggling to poke his head out, he took a greedy breath of air, and at the same time touched his backpack, half of his mother's body had been torn off, and the contents were almost gone, and the bite of this thing was too strong.
At this time, the surrounding light was very poor, and I only saw the old itchy flashlight flickering in the back. But these faint lights don't shine at all, but reflect the water sheets, affecting my vision.
I took a few breaths, my mind cleared up a lot, and then I found that the dagger in my hand was gone, and I don't know if it fell into the water when I hit the wall just now, or if it didn't pull it out at all, I sighed in my heart, and now I am barehanded. I don't have the protection of a backpack, so if I give it another bite, I guess it's my internal organs that will fall out.
I stuck it to the stone wall, which was narrow, and this auspicious place was attached to one side. It didn't make it so easy to bite my body, the monster didn't attack again, and there was no movement on the water around me for a while, I don't know if it was lurking under the water or had already swam away.
When I was fighting just now, I vaguely felt that it was a big fish, but how could there be a fish in this sealed mine, and it was such a big one, it was too unreasonable. And even if it did, what did it eat, did it eat stones? There's definitely something strange about that. Damn, it seems that Lao Tzu is really not suitable for this business, and the monster is too fateful, if we can get out of the mountain alive this time, we will still be ordinary people in peace.
When I was thinking about it, the old itch chased after me from behind, and when he saw me, he shouted: "Are you okay, you don't have missing arms and legs?"
I was angry for a while, and scolded: "Your grandfather, you are usually vicious, and you run faster than a rabbit when you encounter things, don't worry, I can't die if you die." ”
He couldn't get over his face, and explained directly: "I was trying to make some noise to attract his attention, but I didn't expect him to eat this-" In the middle of speaking, suddenly his whole body was crooked, and he was pulled into the water, and the water splashed, and at the same time, a big fish's tail was slapped in the water, and the green water pounced on my face.
I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, the old itch didn't know where it was bitten, if it was bitten on the body, it would be really terrible, and if you don't die, you will have to be crippled.
I groped all over my body, and there was no other weapon, but I took out a military canning knife from my pocket, but this knife was a good steel mouth, but it was too short, and a hundred knives in a barrel might not be able to kill a person, and now I didn't have to be picky, I screamed, and flew into the water, and swam in the direction of the old itch.
That place is in a scuffle, I can't see anything in the water, I can only touch it, only to touch it twice, just in time for the fishtail to throw over, the face door was slapped hard, the taste is stronger than my mother's slap I don't know how many times, I was photographed seven meat and eight vegetarians, the body in the water several turns, almost the neck is broken.
The slap made me a little hot, gritted his steel teeth and rushed over, and in a panic I hugged something, only to feel slippery and greasy, and it was full of scales when I touched it. The heart said that it was you, and it was not any part of the fish, so cāo picked up the canning knife and stabbed it.
Although the canned knife is short, but the cross-cutting edge is very sharp, after the monster was stabbed, the body twisted wildly, I couldn't hold it anymore, and was thrown out of the water, but with the lesson of the last time, my hand grabbed the canned knife and didn't let go, the barb of the knife was stuck in his body, and it went forward with force, and the whole body pulled a big hole on it.
When I poked my head out again, the water surface of the green sè was already full of red sè blood, and the two kinds of sè were mixed together, very disgusting, I lifted my hand out of the water, and found that the canning knife had been rolled up, and the rolled edge turned up, cutting into my blistered white fingers, but I was too involved just now, and I didn't notice it at all.
But I couldn't do much now, I took a step forward, and suddenly a huge fish head burst out of the water, and I saw only a dense mouthful of fangs rushing towards my head. In desperation, I leaned back, and the fish pounced on me. It crushed me underwater.
I struggled desperately in the water, trying to grasp something, at this time, a man grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the water, and I looked up to see that it was an old itch covered in blood, panting there.
"How?" I hurriedly asked, "What did you bite just now?"
He pulled out half of his backpack from the water and smiled wryly, and I was relieved that it was too cramped for the fish to attack our chests.
The water was muddy, and when we were still in jǐngti, the big fish floated up with its belly facing the sky, and its two fins were still shaking, but it seemed that it was no longer good, and I waited for a while to see that it was indeed stiff, and then I had the courage to turn it over.
The fish was at least two and a half meters long, with a long head, a mouth as big as a basin, full of small barbed teeth, and the strangest thing was that there were strange patterns on the fish's head, but now it was not clear, because there was a dagger stuck there without a handle, I don't know if it was inserted by the old itch or by me.
At this time, I have already seen that this is a salmon, freshwater fish is the most ruthless, if you talk about this species, then this fish is still small, but this fish is only in the cold water system, how did it get into this place, how did it get in?
Just as he was puzzled, he heard the old itch shout, "Look, there are steps there." ”
I turned my head and saw only a patch of water, and he said that the steps should be under the water, but this section of the mine did have an upward trend, and I shone it with a flashlight, and when I went a little further inside, there seemed to be a dry land.
We were cold and itchy, and we needed to recuperate, so we discussed it and decided to go to a place where there was no water and treat the wound first.
The old itch was so cold that he didn't say much to me, grabbed the cheeks of the fish, and dragged it inside. I looked strange and asked him what else he wanted this fish for? He said: "I have the copper stick in my bag for it to swallow, that's a big deal, I don't want anything else, I have to get this thing out anyway." ”
I only shook my head when I heard this, I had no choice but to help push the fish forward, and after a while, we saw a steep step in front of us, this almost straight step, only in the mine, it seems that my inference will not be wrong, I climbed up first, above is a stone chamber supported by wood, there are several mines around the other places, it is pitch black, but this place is relatively spacious, it should be temporarily stacked for ore and waste rock, those supporting wood has been sparse and rotten, However, after so many years of evolution, the mountain rock has reached its own equilibrium, and at least it seems that it is still very strong here.
We stripped off all our clothes, built a fire out of the rotten wood in the corner, and began to bake the clothes, and the old itch was anxious for his baby, so he went to dig the belly of the fish naked, and said to me as he cut it, "This fish is so big, so it is wasted, wait a minute, let's cut some meat and go out, how about eating it?"
I took out some medicine from the old itchy half of the bag, first disinfected my fingers, then wrapped it in a band-aid, and said, "You can eat it yourself, this water is too dirty, and I don't know where this fish comes from or what it grew up with, and it's not safe to think about it." ”
At this time, the old itch had already gouged out the stomach of the big fish, and a knife cut the stomach pouch, and suddenly a foul smell came to my face, which could almost smoke me to death, my head involuntarily turned to look, only to see a mess of rotten things flowing out of its stomach, and one of the round things rolled a few times and came to my face.
When I looked at it, I let out a sigh.
That's a human head
