Chapter Seventy-Four: Temptation
The waves on the surface of the water increased, and the creatures in the cold spring were like sharks, frantically gathering towards us after smelling blood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I glanced at my fingertips, glad I had pumped my hand fast enough, otherwise I might have been dragged into the fountain by now. I can't believe that this small tooth mark like a needle like an insect bite can tear off the flesh and skin.
I squinted at the cold spring as I pulled a modified Swiss knife out of my pocket, and with a twist of my wrist, I shook off my main knife and guarded. This was given to me before departure, saying that it was specially improved for mountaineering and rock climbing, and it is very light and convenient to operate with one hand. I gave it a little try in the car, and even non-dominant hands were able to get started right away.
In addition to the basic saber, secondary knife, tweezers, screwdriver, and pliers, several steel hooks of different shapes are attached.
Huo Di, the sound of water sounded all around.
The cold splash of water sprinkled our bodies from top to bottom, and a chilling chill penetrated into the bone marrow, and I was frozen to the point that I was overturning the eighteenth generation of its ancestors in my heart. Then, in the next second, an unbearable smell of stagnant water poured into the nasal cavity, like the smell of rotting corpses when rats have been dead for a long time, and there was a trace of the chemical smell of plastic burning.
The sludge and strange smell that had been deposited at the bottom of the spring were stirred up by the creature.
My throat tightened, and I swallowed my saliva, swallowing back the nausea that had choked on the base of my tongue.
The black splash that fell from the sky obscured the vision, and only a long blurry shadow could be seen vigorously sweeping the surface of the water, and then submerged into the bottom of the spring.
It always feels like this creature is deliberately throwing cold water on us.
After a few minutes, the surface of the water had returned to its original calm, as if nothing had happened, and the black shadow that had just emerged from the surface of the water was our delusion.
I stood there stunned, my clothes soaked and my shoes soaked, the cold fabric sticking to my skin and giving me goosebumps. The whole atmosphere was covered by a strange and unknown haze.
"It's tempting us." Ziche whispered a sentence from between his teeth.
As he spoke, he gently pressed his palm on my shoulder and pushed me to the side, suggesting with his eyes that I was quietly separated from him.
I understand the meaning of the sub-car, when the animal is not clear about the enemy's details, it will instinctively use a little skill when confronting, test the enemy, and judge whether he should attack or defend or flee from the enemy's reaction.
I nodded, and leaned towards the wall.
The ground wasn't flat in the first place, and when the water was sprinkled, there were puddles of water everywhere, and every step I made a damn treading sound, much to my chagrin. At this time, the sub-car in front stretched out his left hand and pressed it, signaling to stop moving. I couldn't see Ziche's current expression behind him, otherwise I could guess a thing or two about the current situation from his expression.
At this moment, I secretly felt that something was very wrong, and I couldn't help but shudder.
Just as I was thinking about it, my back was cold and I didn't know what was touching, and before I could react, I wrapped a fierce force around my back and around my neck, and my throat was choked by a white tentacle.
Suddenly I was top-heavy and spinning, and I was swept into the air by the creature, and my instinct was firmly grasping the Swiss knife in my hand, but for a moment my brain was congested, and I knew how to do it, but I couldn't use it.
I was hanging in the air and struggling, kicking my feet to try to break free, but after a few seconds, my eyes began to faint, and a suffocating fear kept coming.
My tongue was pinched and numb, and the adrenaline rushing through the chaos made me forget to be afraid, and I stabbed the Swiss knife like crazy at the creature that was clamping down on my neck, and the creature was so strong that it was getting tighter and tighter at first.
It kept shaking me violently in the air, and I couldn't hold it steadily, and in a few times I accidentally scratched myself.
Bright red blood mixed with dark brown liquid stained my face, and the bitter taste exploded on the tip of my tongue.
As the consciousness of hypoxia gradually blurred, and even the strength began to be exhausted, I clearly knew that my life was hanging by a thread, and my mind quickly ran through various thoughts. This guy has been pinching me for a while, and it has the strength to pinch me to death, but it can't directly break people's necks, which shows that this creature should have the same ability as humans.
I guessed that this thing might have the same strength as me, and the will to survive was ignited in my heart again.
Lao Tzu is still alive!
I haven't seen the true face of this Xuanwu yet, even if I die here today, I can't be so unclear!
A kind of idea that Lao Tzu is fighting with you is aroused in his mind, and regardless of whether it will hurt himself, he raised his hand and increased the force of the knife.
It didn't know whether to suffer or give up, and suddenly the tentacles loosened, and I fell straight down from mid-air. I forgot how I felt when I fell, the pain of my whole body hitting the ground had overshadowed all perceptions.
My face fell directly into the stagnant water, choking on the dirty water from my mouth and nose, and I couldn't stop the nausea of gagging, I stood up and vomited wildly next to me, and the stomach acid refluxed into my mouth and the entire esophagus was unusually hot. Through the gradually retracting gaze, I saw that the creature was also firmly wrapped around the sub-cart and lifted him high.
What's different is that this guy still knows how to divide soft and hard, and uses two long tentacles to deal with the sub-car, tying his hands and feet to death, the sub-rider's feet are not free, and he can't do anything at all, so he just waits for death.
I heard the sound of what seemed to be a bone, and I didn't want to get up.
The moment I got up, because I couldn't exert my strength, I fell to the ground again, and the bones in my body felt like they were about to burst.
I fell to the ground and exhaled.
"Ah!!h Roared.
I didn't know where the force pulled my body up and pushed forward frantically, I rushed forward, shook off the modified steel hook in the Swiss knife with my backhand, strode with all my strength, inserted the hook into the white tentacle and turned over vigorously, relying on the gravitational acceleration of my own body weight, tearing it apart, and tearing the creature that was tightly fastened to the upper body of the car.
A large amount of dark brown blood splattered out.
I rolled on the ground again, turning several times in a row until my right shoulder hit the rock wall, my mouth full of blood and sand, I slowly raised my head, in a limited perspective, relying on the light of the fire channel spitting out on the wall, I vaguely saw the originally trapped figure bow up and quickly cut off the foreign object tightly bound on the foot, and landed beautifully.
Sure enough, as long as Ziche's hands are free again, it is not difficult to solve the rest at all.
I erected myself against the sore spot of the falling shelf, leaned against the wall, and snorted away a large mouthful of sand blood. I don't know if it's just a lack of oxygen and then over-excited, my head is like a thousand pounds, and my neck is very uncomfortable.
His eyes slowly focused, and he saw that the three white tentacles as thick as water pipes slowly retracted into the cold spring after being defeated.
Seeing the creature retreat, Ziche pressed his ribs with one hand and walked in my direction.
It seems that when my awareness of hypoxia was weak, he must have also experienced a struggle, and a large piece of skin on his knees and left cheek was worn off.
"Hey!" He smiled and greeted me.
"Hey." I'll reply.
