I thought of the monster in the water, and I asked the monk what it was.

The monk said that I must have heard of it, but I haven't seen it, I don't know it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

I thought back to what I was talking about, but I really didn't have the slightest impression. In fact, there are very few things that can survive in this kind of water temperature. I asked what exactly a monk is?

The monk said: "According to my understanding, the thing in the water should be 'Baitou Hebo', and some places are also called 'Baitou Ghost'. ”

"Bald Heads" are not ghosts, they are large, freshwater-type aquatic creatures that hide in icy waters that are inaccessible to people. Hebo's body is translucent, and his body is somewhat similar to Shennong's albino ape, but he is covered with false scales. Like all large carnivorous creatures, they are very territorial and aggressive. But Hebo has a fatal flaw, that is, they can only move in the water, not on the shore.

"Hebo does not go ashore" is almost a rule, as for what the reason is, the monk said that he does not know, and it is recorded in the book. However, he has heard a few allusions about Hebo, which may have something to do with this.

My heart says how I don't know? Just ask him what allusions?

The monk said with a wicked smile, have you heard the story of Hebo and Concubine Mi? I won't talk about the meat joke in the middle, anyway, in the end, Hebo provoked his father-in-law Fuxi, and Fuxi was angry, so he removed Hebo's position, and let him stay in the water for the rest of his life, and he couldn't go ashore if he had feet.

The monk's appearance and his expression at this time make people feel very funny. Cassia scolded with a smile, saying that he had never seen such a vulgar monk as you, and his mouth was full of impropriety.

However, I did hear "Hebo does not go ashore" a long time ago, but I didn't expect that that thing was "Hebo". The monk continued, Hebo has a fierce temperament and generally lives alone, and there are so many Hebo here, he thinks that it should be artificially raised, and there are records of royal families raising this kind of monster in history.

Artificially raised? I suddenly remembered the mural I had seen earlier. Could it be that the group of masked people on the mural are trapping this kind of "white-headed river bo"? So who raised these river uncles here? What is the purpose?

The monk said that the purpose could be seen at a glance. The bald head is supposed to be from the same period as the gargoyles above us, they lived earlier, and it is difficult to see them now. And these two creatures are accustomed to living in dark places all year round, and they are ferocious by nature, which is difficult for ordinary people to approach, and it is more than enough to guard the underground palace.

That said, those gargoyles could also have been artificially raised?

I can't understand that the owner of the tomb would come up with such a way to prevent theft, and I have to say, it was really painstaking.

"But that's not what we need to worry about right now." The monk looked up as he spoke.

"Those gargoyles are probably starving, and an hour ago, they still had some scruples and did not dare to hold it too low. Now, things are a little bit worse. ”

I looked up, and it was pitch black overhead, and the gargoyles were so fast that I could only see the afterimages of them flying by. But the current situation is indeed as the monk said, their flight altitude has been constantly depressed. These beasts have not seen the light of fire all year round, so they are wary of our campfires, and they have never dared to approach them easily.

But the bonfire didn't last long, and there was very little to burn in this place, and Master said that we could last another half an hour at most.

I asked them what they were going to do next. The monk said that they had already discussed the way out. Before, when he was collecting firewood, he found another stone entrance on the rock wall, although he didn't know where the stone path led, but he was able to temporarily avoid the attack of these gargoyles. While there's still some time, I'll just wait. The guard's fever has subsided, and he may wake up soon, so try not to move if he can.

The monk said that he had planned to go it alone, but seeing that we were short of manpower, he agreed to stay and help us for a while. When the guards woke up, he walked again.

Peaceful times always fly by. Half an hour later, the guards showed no sign of waking up. By this time, the bonfire had burned out, and the surroundings had become dark. Cassia and the monk lit the remaining torches to cover our evacuation.

However, the gargoyles have discovered our intentions. At this moment they appear to be very impatient, constantly lowering their heights, circling back and forth above us.

I have a hunch that things won't go as smoothly as we planned. A few people are like facing a great enemy, and their faces are not easy.

"Guys, it's not good, those brutes seem to be planning to attack us ahead of time."

The expression on the monk's face was twisted together, and he looked at the top of his head vigilantly. Cassia asked me to escort the master to leave first, and he was in charge of the safety of the guards after the monk's hall.

But before Cassia could finish speaking, suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky and rushed towards the bonfire that was about to be extinguished. Where could the bonfire stand withstand such an impact, and it suddenly fell apart completely. I heard a scream, and then I saw the sparks splash in all directions, and suddenly it went black. With such a large space, we can't hold it up with just a few torches in our hands. And after rolling on the ground a few times, the black shadow fluttered and flew again, quickly escaping into the surrounding darkness.

My heart sank, and my heart said that this time it was over.

With the extinguishing of the bonfire, this scuffle also began.

In the darkness overhead, there was a sudden agitation. The monk shouted: "****, they are coming!" Hurry up, hurry up, go away! But before he could finish his sentence, I suddenly heard the monk snort, and a black shadow slammed into his back, and the other person was directly knocked to the ground, and the torch in his hand rolled aside. The monk was annoyed, turned over and flew and scuffled with a black shadow. He hit his hands very hard, one after another, scolding while hitting his mouth.

At this time, the extinguishing of the bonfire is like a signal for the gargoyle to attack. I couldn't see exactly what it was, but I knew from the sound above me that we were in for a catastrophe. Countless black shadows screamed and rushed down, and we had no place to hide, the torches pale under their onslaught.

"Hurry up, you can't stand it, you can go one by one!"

Without campfires, we couldn't even withstand their first waves. These gargoyles are so fast that we can't outrun.

The monk's side had already taken the lead in the fight, and countless gargoyles rushed over, isolating him from us in an instant. The surrounded monk was almost in a state of madness, and I heard all sorts of voices coming from there, the monk's angry shouting, screaming, scuffling, and the gargoyle's shrill screams.

But as the torch fell off in the monk's hand, the extremely chaotic scene quickly slipped into a one-sided situation, dozens of gargoyles pressed on the monk, I saw the monk holding his head and kneeling, and then, he was knocked to the ground with a muffled grunt. Then, countless gargoyles pressed up densely like ant colonies, and the figure of the monk was instantly submerged.

Since most of the gargoyles were attracted by the movement on the monk's side, the situation on our side was far less tragic than that of the monk. And we all know that if the monk is left alone, his life will be ended here.

"You take Master with you! I'm going to save him! Cassia shouted at me, then turned and ran in the direction of the monk.

"Get down and don't move!" Cassia's voice appeared around the monk. I don't know if the monk is dead or alive now, but I can only see Cassia rushing over and frantically waving torches to drive away the gargoyle that stepped on the monk's back. But I know very well that Cassia is also difficult to support alone, and it will not last long at all.

"Run! Come on! Cassia yelled at me.

I slapped myself, forced myself to come to my senses, and pulled my master to run frantically backwards, and there was the entrance to the stone path. But what I didn't expect at all was that our back road was also covered by gargoyles. We didn't run far before a black shadow hit us head-on, and Master didn't have time to dodge at all, so he was directly knocked out of my hands.

"****!" Immediately I went from extreme fear to extreme anger, and I picked up the torch and scuffled with the dark shadows on the ground. The thing was covered in stiff hairs, and the fangs on the roof of the jaw were exposed. I stuck the torch in its mouth and choked its neck. But there were so many of them that as soon as I pounced on them, I was scratched on the back a few times, and then I was knocked out of the way.

At this moment, there was also the roar of Cassia on the other side, which was his roar in despair. I couldn't find the Master, dozens of gargoyles surrounded me, and I was lying on the ground with my head in my hands, and my whole body was already in despair.

But just as we were all gone, the hellish banks suddenly fell silent, and the screams of the gargoyles came to an abrupt end. I lay on the ground and couldn't react for a while, and my heart said what's going on? A sneak peek revealed that the gargoyle standing in front of me was motionless, but its eyes were fixed in one direction. The two on my back at the same time were also motionless, not knowing what the hell was going on.

Could it be that they saw some terrible predators?

I didn't dare move. But just then, the gargoylee in front of me suddenly raised its wings, screamed, and flew away. The two that stepped on my back also flew away from my back with a sudden force. Then I saw all the gargoyles on the riverbank fly off the ground and quickly retreat into the darkness overhead. In the blink of an eye, calm returned to the riverbank.

My heart is finished, is there a monster more terrifying than a gargoyle in this place? But I didn't see any other monsters on the riverbank, but I saw that the guards had woken up at some point, and were hobbling in the direction where Cassia was lying.
