Chapter 30: The Riptide
Xia Beifeng floated in the water, looking up at the huge "creature" in front of him.
It was a creature that resembled a snake...... But its wide open mouth is a row of sharp teeth, and it looks like some ferocious carnivore.
Since Xia Beifeng pulled out the knife on its body, the thing stopped writhing and struggling, and instead lowered its head and stared at Xia Beifeng motionlessly.
Or rather, staring at the knife in his hand.
Xia Beifeng put the knife down horizontally, and gently brushed the blade with one hand.
"Good boy." Xia Beifeng moved his lips silently, and said to the knife in his hand: "Please be honest for a while, don't make trouble for your father." ”
The knife seemed to tremble slightly.
Xia Beifeng immediately clenched the handle of the knife and looked at the knife in his hand nervously.
The knife fell silent, and one even had the illusion that it had just moved on its own.
The "enemy" in front of him was quiet for a while, and then suddenly moved.
The surroundings were too dark, in fact, Xia Beifeng couldn't see its movements clearly, and could only vaguely feel the water around him shaking.
The thing leaned down slightly, silently approaching Xia Beifeng, thinking that it had not been discovered.
The water rippled slightly, crashing into Xia Beifeng's side, and then turned back, stirring up larger water ripples.
A foul smell filled the air.
Xia Beifeng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and endured the pain of nausea. The moment the thing's head reached the top of his head, it quickly lowered its head and dived into the water.
That thing originally opened its mouth wide and wanted to bite off Xia Beifeng's neck directly, but it ended up empty. Its two rows of sharp teeth collided up and down with a crunch.
It froze for a moment, then shook its head angrily. Writhing all over his body. It churned the river beneath it, its long tail like a giant whip, constantly slapping the water in the river, making a loud noise and making a large splash.
The summer north wind lurked underwater, swimming past the monster's side. The blade grazed its body.
The touch coming from his hand was as if he was pulling a hard iron plate with a knife, jerky and weird.
At the same time, he heard a high-pitched, shrill voice.
The sound came from the place where the blade touched the scales of the monster, and it reached Xia Beifeng's ears through the water, and it was a little distorted. But it sounds even more weird and terrifying.
Xia Beifeng lowered his head again, swam over with his tail that was sweeping around, and resurfaced.
After he surfaced, before he could open his eyes, he instantly felt some kind of dangerous aura coming towards him.
He subconsciously raised the knife in his hand high. Across your head.
"Ding".
With a crisp collision sound, Xia Beifeng felt the knife in his hand slam violently.
A row of sharp teeth slammed into Xia Beifeng's blade, and he retreated with a touch.
A tremendous pressure pushed the summer north wind back into the water.
His arm trembled a little from the impact of the impact, and he almost couldn't hold the knife in his hand.
There are still any!
This was the only thought that came to Xia Beifeng after it sank into the water.
The river around him began to surge violently, causing him to find his way through the water, flapping his arms desperately and swimming in the direction of the river bank he imagined.
Ye Baiyu, are you trying to trap me?
Xia Beifeng recalled that he was the last picture he saw when he dived underwater, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.
There was indeed more than one giant monster. There are more than two of them...... In fact, Xia Beifeng vaguely saw seven or eight pairs of eyes shining with red light.
Those eyes were full of furious and bloodthirsty desire, after the summer north wind emerged from the water. Qi Shushu stared at him, the only outlier in the water.
I don't know how many tails are whirling in the water. Xia Bei 0 couldn't control the direction of his body at all, and he had to dodge the tail of the monster that kept attacking him...... Or the head, or the teeth.
The smell of the water became more and more disgusting, and it smelled like a sewer that had accumulated household garbage for more than ten years, making it almost impossible to control the vomiting sensation that was churning up in one's stomach.
The summer north wind is so difficult to swim under the water...... Or rather, going with the flow. I felt that the oxygen in my lungs was running out little by little, but I never dared to show my head for another breath.
I don't know if the monster's scales are too hard. Or is there something wrong with the person who used the knife, or maybe there is something wrong with the knife itself.
The knife in his hand kept slicing through the hard scales of the monster's body, and it was useless.
In addition to endlessly torturing his ears, Xia Beifeng's movements were almost rewarding.
After dodging another tail's attack, he vaguely saw a faint blue light flickering ahead.
The light was very faint. It just flashed quickly, and it looked even more gloomy in the murky water.
Even so, it was enough for the summer north wind to notice it.
Xia Beifeng raised his right hand and blocked one of the tails swinging towards it with his knife. As the blade collided with the scales, he swam with the force of his hand, with the strength of his tail, towards the place where the blue light had just flashed.
Just as he was about to reach the place where the blue light flickered, the river shook violently, impacting his body and involuntarily drifting along the water pattern for some distance.
When he looked back, he couldn't find the place where the blue light flickered.
I don't even know where I am.
In front of me, there was only a muddy river and animal tails moving around. I don't know what the monster's blood contains, and the person has only been swimming in the water for a short while, and his eyes are already a little unbearable.
Obviously in the cold and biting river water, Xia Beifeng's eyes felt a strong burning sensation.
It seems like you're going to be blind at any moment.
Or maybe you're already blind.
His vision gradually blurred, and he simply closed his eyes and swam in a random direction. At the same time, I made up my mind that after a while, if I couldn't hold it anymore, I would show up and go ashore to breathe.
Aren't they just a few monsters that look like prehistoric animals, and I haven't seen them before!
I've seen uglier ones, and I'm afraid you won't be able to!
Xia Beifeng thought so. Once again, he opened his eyes a small slit and glanced ahead.
The moment he opened his eyes, not far ahead, a blue light flashed rapidly again, as if to remind him of the direction he was heading.
Xia Beifeng immediately swam vigorously to that side.
The water ripples on his side shook violently again, and Xia Beifeng raised the knife in his hand again. Casually blocked the attack from his side.
He thought that the power of this attack was similar to the previous times, and he didn't care much, but he didn't expect that the power of this tail flick was completely beyond his imagination. So he was knocked out by the huge force of the impact.
This time it really hit the north wind in the summer. He listened to the faint sound of water in his ears, and felt the water around him rush across his body, sometimes blocking his progress, sometimes taking him farther away.
It's like being pulled forward or backward by countless hands, but I am confused and don't know where to go.
Eventually, his back hit a rock hard and he stopped sprinting in the water.
He opened his mouth and saw a bubble floating in front of his eyes.
At the same time, a large mouthful of water was poured in.
I don't know how far I was knocked away by that monster. At this time, the water in front of him looked very clear. After pouring that sip of water, there was no longer the fishy smell in the water before.
My eyes are much more comfortable, and I can see a little bit clearly.
And the water is actually quite delicious.
When Xia Beifeng looked up at the water, such an inconsequential thought flashed through his mind.
The little hand that had been plain white stretched out from the water to the summer north wind.
Xia Beifeng wanted to reach out and hold that little hand. But the owner of that hand didn't bother to pay attention to his left hand, which was stretched upward, but grabbed him by the collar with one hand and carried him up from the water like a chicken.
Xia Beifeng's head was exposed to the water, and all he saw were two straight and slender calves.
The sparrow's bright white dress fluttered right before his eyes.
He involuntarily raised his head, and then felt a slap in the face.
The hand that grabbed him by the collar quickly let go, throwing him back into the water once more.
The sparrow reached out and tugged at the corner of her skirt. blocked his calves and looked at the summer north wind in the water angrily.
Is it too late for me to say I didn't see it?
Xia Beifeng only has his head out of the water. After seeing the movements of the sparrows. Silently tilted his head and sighed.
"What's that?" He stuck his knife into the rock beside him, pretending nothing had happened. I was relieved to climb up the huge rock where the sparrow was squatting.
The sparrow moved to the side angrily, dodging Xia Beifeng's hand reaching out to her.
"Hey! As for it? Xia Beifeng looked up at the sparrow helplessly, "Can't you pull me?" ”
There was a frightening silence.
"Those are the gatekeepers......" Sparrow whispered, halfway through the sentence. She frowned, thought for a while, and then slowly continued: "Anyway, it's been dead for many years, and it doesn't matter what it is to you. ”
So what exactly?
Xia Beifeng glanced at the sparrow in surprise. Seeing that the sparrow had no desire to continue talking, he found a place to sit down. Look back in the direction he swam from.
The strange snakes were still writhing their bodies in the water, frantically slapping their tails against the river, splashing a large splash.
Xia Beifeng pulled out the knife from the stone, held the handle of the knife in one hand, and placed the blade horizontally in the palm of his hand.
"This thing is disobedient again." Xia Beifeng tilted his head to look at the sparrow, and asked sincerely, "What should I do?" ”
The sparrow squinted at Xia Beifeng and let out a sneer.
"Hehe, you can do it yourself."
"I'm afraid it hurts......" Xia Beifeng snorted softly.
The sparrow turned his head expressionlessly, looking intently at the group of monsters fluttering in the water, deaf to Xia Beifeng's words.
Seeing that it had no effect on selling miserably, Xia Beifeng had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly and lower his head.
The knife in his hand was still rusty, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
Xia Beifeng sat cross-legged, put the knife on his knee, stretched out his right hand, and held the blade.
A trace of crimson blood trickled down the blade, lingering on the blade for a moment, and then quickly vanished.
"I heard Master say......" Xia Beifeng looked down at the blood flowing from his hand and disappeared on the knife, seeing that the blade in his hand gradually brightened, he exhaled lightly, looked back at the sparrow, and asked, "You seem to have something to ask me for?" ”
"Not anymore." The sparrow muttered something in a low voice, and also turned his head to look at Xia Beifeng's hand.
"Just rub it, you don't need it anyway, why are you bleeding so much?" The sparrow said and reached out to pull the knife out of Xia Beifeng's palm, stretched out his finger and flicked the blade.
The blade let out a cool clang, and a very thin silver light flickered in front of the two of them.
"It's ready to go." Sparrow handed the knife back to Xia Beifeng and looked at him with disdain.
"You're really willing to bleed...... How much do you have to eat to make up for it! ”
"I'm worried that there won't be enough." Xia Beifeng turned out the long knife and waved it a few times in the air, "This thing hasn't listened to me very much...... How can you say that my master can discipline him so honestly? ”
"Because Ah Yu is too fierce, this thing is to bully the soft and fear the hard." The sparrow stretched out his hand as he spoke, hooking his finger at Xia Beifeng, "Show me your hand." ”
Xia Beifeng spread out his right hand and stretched out in front of the sparrow.
There was a horizontal knife in the palm of his hand, and blood was still dripping outward, which looked a little scary.
The sparrow squinted his eyes the moment he saw the wound, and then quickly smiled at Xia Beifeng and said, "It's honest, a knife from the beginning to the end...... Are you stupid? ”
After she said this, she grabbed Xia Beifeng's outstretched hand, and out of nowhere, she found a white cotton cloth and pressed it on his wound.
Xia Beifeng heard Sparrow's words mocking him at first, and wanted to refute it casually. When he saw that the sparrow wanted to bandage his wound, he silently closed his mouth.
In the end, I was deeply hurt by the sparrow's brutal hemostatic methods.
The sparrow lowered his head, pressed the wound on Xia Beifeng's hand hard, watched the cotton cloth slowly soaked in blood, and continued to press the bleeding wound with an expressionless face.
Xia Beifeng opened his mouth in pain at first and wanted to scream, but after thinking of the group of unknown monsters behind them, he forcibly resisted the urge to howl. Shut up and clench your teeth tightly, don't look over your head and can't bear to look at your wounds again.
A small bead of sweat appeared on his forehead, and a green tendon twitched.
Generally speaking, according to the way sparrows treat wounds, if she is not injured, she can also be injured. As for the wounded, thank God it doesn't turn into a fatal wound.
But the terrible-looking wounds of her men gradually stopped bleeding under her devastating treatment.
When the sparrow finally let go of his hand and began to wrap the cotton cloth around Xia Beifeng's hand. Xia Beifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He vaguely felt the roots of his teeth tingling.
"Hmm...... All right. The sparrow reminded Xia Beifeng in a whisper.
"Huh?" Xia Beifeng glanced down at the wound on his hand before he realized what the sparrow meant.
"Oh, thank you."
"No need!"
The sparrow smiled happily when he heard this, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and his eyes narrowed into two crescents.
"It's a small thing."
Xia Beifeng shook his hand, regained his grip on the knife, and stood up.
"Hurry up and get rid of these things...... Today I want to go to bed early. ”
After he finished speaking, he whistled sharply in the direction of the group of monsters.
