Chapter 80: The Shark
It is said that in ancient times, there was an animal with a human body and a fish's tail, called a mermaid, and the body of a mermaid was generally a daughter, which may be the same as the mermaid in Western legends.
The mermaids live in the sea, and legend has it that the silk they produce will not get wet when they enter the water, and the tears that flow when they cry will turn into pearls.
But although the fish in front of me is strange, it is thousands of miles away from the merman.
"What you're talking about is a shark, it's just a myth and legend, and the shark I'm talking about is recorded in the history books." Hu San squatted down and said while observing the shark's body.
"History books?" Hu San's erudite appearance is really completely different from the impression he usually gives people, "You still read history books?" ”
"I heard from Master that he said that there is a fish called the shark recorded in the history books, and this fish is naturally fat, without scales, without eyes, and lives in an underground river where there is no light. Although it has no eyes, it is not invisible, he can understand the image of objects through the perception of the outside world through his body, and this animal is born with spiritual power, and it is good at transducing perceived external objects. Hu San said, broke the shark's mouth with his hand, never thought that the shark who was motionless just now suddenly shook his body at this time, and opened and closed his big mouth hard, fortunately Hu San reacted quickly and was almost bitten by it.
Hu San jumped to the side, with a palpitating look, "See, this fish is fierce and ruthless." ”
"Then according to what you just thought, if we had swam over, we would have been bitten to death by them."
Hu San shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I was joking just now, even the world swimming champion can't swim through the current so fast." ”
"You said that this fish can conjure up objects it perceives? Does that mean that we saw Zhu Gui's face because this fish had seen Zhu Gui? I asked.
Hu San nodded, "It's possible, otherwise how can you explain it, could it be that this fish was turned into by Zhu Gui?" ”
As soon as Hu San said this, I chuckled in my heart, and looked at the fish carefully, but at this time it didn't move again, and I didn't know if it was dead, or if I pretended to be dead and wanted to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack just now.
"Do you think it's hungry and wants to go ashore and eat us when it sees us!"
Hu San smiled, "You really have a lot of imagination, unless this shark is crazy." After speaking, his face became serious, "You really have to be careful when you say this, this shark shouldn't jump onto the shore for no reason, if it's not crazy, it's because it can't stay in the water." ”
I was puzzled and asked, "How can I not stay in this water?" ”
Hu San didn't answer me, but looked into the distance along the riverbank, and then he took out his flashlight and shook it, as if he had found something.
"It seems to be there, let's go, go and see!"
I followed Hu San's gaze and only saw a few black shadows in the distance.
Hu San clutched the wooden sword and walked towards the black shadow, and I followed.
When we got closer, we were all stunned, these black shadows were nothing else, they were sharks, and there were as many as five or six, all of them had white bellies facing up, and the fish skin had dried out, and they had probably been dead for some days.
Hu San stabbed the shark in the stomach with a wooden sword, and a crisp sound sounded, like beating a drum.
With a thud, as Hu San's strength increased, the shark's stomach burst in response, but no liquid flowed out of it, and no peculiar smell came.
Hu San frowned, held the wooden sword and cut a hole along the pierced belly, and suddenly rolled out of it like a deflated football, and when I looked closely, it really scared me.
It was a human head, half a human head to be exact, the hair on it was still there, and the five views or anything were gone, only the back of the head was left.
There are still some unidentified objects left in the skull, and I don't know if it's brains or what.
"This can't be Zhu Gui's, right?" I blurted out. Seeing this human head, I immediately thought of Zhu Gui's body.
"It shouldn't be, Zhu Gui's head is much bigger than him, and looking like this, he's been dead for a long time." Hu San said and poked the stomachs of the other sharks.
"What are you going to do?" I really don't understand why Hu San did this.
"This place is very unusual, first the village above has been enchanted by people, and someone has performed the art of sacrificing feet, and the zombies and those spirits have appeared, and then there are legendary creatures like sharks under this village, so we can't let go of every clue, and the more we know about this place, the better it will be for us."
As Hu San spoke, he stabbed the stomach of another shark and made some human stumps out of it.
Hu San took a breath and muttered, "How could they eat so many dead people? With that, he stared at the lights looming on the other side of the river, not knowing what to think.
After a long time, Hu Sancai said: "Do you say that these people were deliberately thrown into the river?" ”
"You're saying someone feeds the fish human flesh?"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Hu San held his sword and found a clean stone and sat down, "I suspect that these people are all victims. ”
I stared at Hu San, not knowing what he meant.
"You see there are a lot of dead people in the village above, and those people have been turned into zombies by performing foot sacrifices, and I guess the dead people in the stomachs of these sharks may be victims of the failure of foot sacrifice."
"So you say, there might be more zombies in the village across the river? This is the base of their foot sacrifice? ”
"Hmm!" Hu San nodded, and then he opened his backpack again, found some food and water, and ate and drank.
"Alas! Do you eat or not? Hu San handed me a biscuit.
"Take it, take it!" I almost threw up when he handed me food, I knew he was joking with me, and of course he knew I wasn't eating.
"I said San'er, when did you become so strong that you didn't pick a place to eat?"
I really admired him for looking at those sharks with broken bellies, as well as the flesh and skin of the stumps of the human body, and what he could eat.
Hu San put on a high-ranking posture and said: "A cultivator, how can he stick to the subtleties." ”
"Come on, don't drag it, let's get down to business, how do we cross this river?"
"After eating, I don't like to use my brain when I eat." Hu San took a bite of biscuits and a sip of mineral water, and he ate it with relish.
At this moment, I have already thrown myself to the ground for the five bodies that I admire.
I looked at the rushing river and wondered how to cross it.
Look at the size of this shark, the river must not be shallow, and the current is so fast, although I am still good in water, but only in gentle waters, like this rapids must not be able to swim over, even if I have the ability to swim in such a rapid water, but there are still those fierce sharks in the water, it is estimated that before reaching the other side, it will become the food of these sharks.
