Chapter 61: The Evil Fish
The waiting time is always extraordinarily long, almost like a few seconds. In this situation without any security, every second of holding out is a challenge. I don't know the time, and I don't have time to count, so I can only use all my energy and physical strength to stabilize myself.
The cold groundwater washed away for a long time, and the cool air penetrated from the skin to the muscles, and from the muscles to the bones, and my whole body froze. The flow rate of this groundwater is very strange, and I don't know what it is affected by, sometimes high and sometimes low, occasionally the water will suddenly go high, hitting a high wave, pouring my head with it, the feeling of being splashed with ice water in winter, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
Tan Jian still hadn't woken up, and in the dark underground river, there was only the sound of underground water rushing.
I regulated my breathing and waited for Zhou Xuanye's rescue.
I don't know how long later, until the muscles in my body began to go numb, I suddenly noticed that something seemed to flash in the underground river.
Since my brain was in a constant state of nervous tension, the thing quickly disappeared from view, but I was sure that it wasn't something I was looking for. What flashed in my sight was a black, scaly thing.
At this moment, I thought of the python.
However, Zhou Xuanye said that the giant python was dead.
Could it be some kind of big fish?
Although I haven't read a few books, some of the basics are clear. Due to various reasons such as underground pressure, it is generally believed that there can be no aquatic organisms in groundwater, such as fish and shrimp, except for microorganisms.
But what's the matter with that big guy I just saw?
The searchlight hung at the end of the rope and hung down on my arm, and the impact of the water made my whole body shake from time to time, so the searchlight hanging on my arm also shook. The straight beams of light, swaying towards the water in front of me, the clean and thorough groundwater, with a supreme purity, the light is so deep that there is no living creature in sight.
Perhaps, it is diving into deep water?
It seems that the claim that there is no living thing in the groundwater is also unrealistic.
However, although it was only a flash just now, judging from the scale ridge that flashed by, even if it is a fish, eighty percent of it is a big fish, although there are organisms in this groundwater, but there are not too many of them, will there be a shortage of food or something?
Anyway, I hope that thing doesn't interest me, I just want to wait here quietly for rescue.
However, things in the world are so fucked up, the more afraid of something, the more something comes, just when the lights flickered, I suddenly found that in the depths of the penetrating underground water, a huge black shadow slowly rose towards the surface of the water.
"Goo." I heard the sound of my own saliva, my heart pounded, and I thought to myself: No matter what kind of fish you are, we don't offend fish, and it's better for fish not to offend people, you can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me......
Immediately afterwards, a scene that made ** cry without tears appeared, and I watched that the black shadow was not going straight up, but swimming towards me while rising, forming an upward route, isn't this obviously coming for me?
It was so fast, I barely had time to scold my mother, and the thing popped out of the water. A huge black fish head appeared in front of my eyes, it was only about five meters away from me, and the huge fish mouth was slightly open, revealing the sharp teeth inside, and it looked like a cannibal!
Suddenly, I was so shocked that I even stopped breathing, fear and overwhelmed, so that this moment seemed to freeze, so that in front of my eyes, only this fish head remained.
It has no eyes, to be exact, it has eyes, but the eyes are small and almost invisible, it is clear that it lives in the ancient underground waterways without light, and its eyes have not evolved at all, or have been, but have degenerated, and on both sides of the huge head, there are only two black spots the size of peanuts.
I immediately realized, maybe it was the light source in my hand that attracted it? Deterioration of vision does not mean that you are completely blind, but the sudden light is easy to stimulate these creatures who live in the dark. Unfortunately, it seemed a little late to know this now, because this strange big fish, with its mouth wide open and full of sharp fangs, bit me violently.
At this moment, human instinct made me hide.
If you don't hide, will you wait for it to bite off my head?
However, the consequence of hiding is that in the next second, my body loses its center of gravity, and in the washing of the current, the whole person is washed out from under the mouth of the big fish!
The whole process only happened in a few seconds, and under such a few seconds, it is estimated that in addition to Superman, normal people are estimated to be the same virtue as me. One second he avoided the fish's head, and the next second he was washed by the groundwater and turned over in the water.
The groundwater flowed very fast, and in less than a few seconds, it washed me out more than ten meters, and I simply kept holding the rope tightly in my hand, so that it was not really washed away.
At this moment, the rope in my hand stretched into a straight line, and became my only tool against the current.
The icy groundwater crumbled, hitting the body and making a large splash. My body was washed up and down by the groundwater, and the rope was jumping tightly under my weight, rubbing violently against the edge of the inlet.
At this moment, I felt a little hopeless.
If this continues, it is only a matter of time before this rope, which is not very tough, is worn out.
And what makes me mad the most now is that although I was not swept away by the current, Tan Jian was gone!
As soon as I dodged, Tan Blade, who was unconscious in the back, naturally slipped into the groundwater! The searchlight was in the water, and the thing was waterproof, and even under the water, the light was very positive, which was a good price.
At this moment, I was holding on to the rope with both hands to prevent it from being swept away by the water, but my body was still inevitably swaying from side to side in the impact of the current, and with this light swaying with me, I saw the huge black fish, with its head turned, and swam towards me again.
At the same time, I found that the cave where Tan Blade was originally placed was indeed gone.
Tan Blade, sunk into the water?
Zhou Xuanye asked me to guard him, but ...... I've lost people......
Lost is a better word, or more accurately, killed. What happens to a person who is unconscious, a person who cannot wake up, thrown into a bottomless underground river? There is no other way but to die.
The Blackfish was obviously sensitive to light sources, and instead of diving into the water to eat the ready-made Tan Blade, it came at me again. This thing is very powerful, and with a swing of the tail, the whole thing sprang out for several meters, and in less than three seconds, the huge body approached again.
This time I didn't hide.
How else can you hide?
There's no need to hide, no need to hide! The self-blame and anger at this moment made my whole person go out, and I didn't care about thinking about drowning or not drowning, running for my life or not running for my life, there was only one thought in my mind: Tan Jian sank into the water, Tan Jian was dead, he couldn't die in vain.
In fact, if I had climbed up the rope earlier, I would still have a chance to escape, but the stimulation of my companion being killed by myself made me not think that at this level, I was full of only revenge.
Even if it is death, you have to pull this monster to Tan Jian for burial.
So, the moment it bit down, I jerked out the dagger strapped to my thigh, and stabbed it out of the water, from the bottom to the top, towards the mandible.
The head of this thing is large, and the surface is hard, so if you attack other parts, it will probably not work. But I know that the bottom of the head of the fish is the place where the two halves of the cheekbones meet, and it is also the softest place of the fish head, just like the throat of a person, it is not protected by bones.
The fish is too big. So I barely had to aim, and I stabbed it in. All this happened in a very short period of time, and the big fish was stimulated by this, and its wide mouth snapped together, and the upper and lower teeth closed less than three centimeters from the tip of my nose.
It's dangerous!
I escaped death, my whole body almost collapsed, only the hand holding the rope, out of human instinct, still holding on to it, the rope tightened the flesh, the flesh on the hand was almost blue under the double stimulation of cold water and blood blockage, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a feeling of paralysis.
I doubt that my hand will be wasted.
However, people are going to die, and it doesn't matter if they are wasted or not.
The big fish closed its mouth in pain, although it didn't bite me, but the body struggled violently, a huge fish head swinged, slammed into my chest, the force was so strong that people almost vomited blood, my hand holding the rope instantly lost its strength, the whole person was knocked out along the water, and the dagger in his hand was pulled out with this force.
At one last glance, I saw a burst of bright red blood coming from the fish's jaw, and then I couldn't see anything, for I was swept into the current, and the whole person was stumbling, and only by waving my limbs kept I could barely fall into the deep water.
In this struggle, I can occasionally put my nose out of the water and take a breath, but often I can't breathe too much, and I am weighed down by the waves.
Without the rope, my body would have to go with the flow. Without the searchlights, my eyes quickly became dark.
