Chapter 22: The Cannibal Lake

A small lake with a square view lies in the underground passage, completely sealing off the road ahead. Nowadays, you have to swim in the water to get to the other side.

However, everyone stood in front of the lake and couldn't help but hesitate.

There are many reasons for hesitation, one is that the river water is unusually cold and biting, and everyone wants to cross the lake, it is estimated that they will have to catch a cold; The second is that everyone encountered insect traps in the lake in front of the island forest and almost drowned in the lake. The surface of the lake in front of you, although there are no waves, is pitch black, and you can't see anything clearly, just like a monster with its mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to jump into its mouth automatically, which makes people feel intimidating.

But the way forward, whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, must be passed.

So I squatted on the ground, began to organize my backpack, put everything that was afraid of water into a plastic bag and fastened it tightly, and then beckoned everyone to go into the water.

The lake was bottomless, and it pierced into the body like ice needles, and even the bone marrow was frozen.

Everyone stuffed their coats into their backpacks and jumped into the unusually cold water, and I strapped a waterproof flashlight to the top of my head and led the way in the lake.

When I reached the middle of the lake, I stopped swimming, turned back to check on the people, who were not far behind me, and their lips were purple and their faces were pale. The calm surface of the lake, with nothing out of the ordinary, turned around and prepared to swim on.

When I turned around in the middle of the lake, I noticed that there seemed to be something lying on my stomach on the opposite shore not far away. Hurriedly shone the flashlight on his head towards the shore. Found on the shore, lying on the stomach of a few seven-point like people. I was really surprised by the fact that the three points looked like a monster like a fish.

Then. Everyone swam to my side, and Ugin saw the strange creatures on the other side and exclaimed, "Giant salamander! ”

The giant salamander is the "baby fish", which is ferocious by nature, eats fish and shrimp, and can even eat snakes and turtles and other large creatures. Sometimes you don't starve to death if you don't eat or drink for two or three years, and when you eat, you overeat, you can eat food about the same size and weight as it, and you are hungry. Will devour its own kind and kill each other. Giant salamanders have a very long lifespan, and can live for fifty or sixty years, or even more than a hundred years. It can also grow to more than 1.80 meters, making it the largest living amphibian in the world.

Hearing that it was a baby fish, the fat man was excited, and he smiled and said, "I heard a baby crying, and it turned out that this thing was doing something wrong." Lao Zheng, I've heard about it. The baby fish can be called "ginseng in the water", and it is a very precious and expensive supplement, and after a while we go ashore and catch two to try it. ”

I don't have the naïve idea of a fat man. Giant salamanders are ferocious by nature, and if they are fed, they will not be in any danger at all. But when they are hungry, they will attack humans. The giant salamanders are so big in the water that we can't fight them. Thereupon. I immediately beckoned everyone to swim to the other side.

As I swam in the water, I watched the giant salamanders on the other side of the river, and I noticed that a few giant salamanders of small size suddenly crawled into the water, and the surface of the lake immediately rippled and they all disappeared into the water.

I suddenly had a bad feeling, and immediately beckoned everyone to speed up the swim, and then frantically swung my arms and swam towards the riverbank.

I had just swam anxiously in the water for a few moments, when I felt something hugging my thigh, and hurriedly put my head into the water to check, but I was so frightened that I suddenly opened my mouth wide, and I choked on a mouthful of cold water, and I almost sank weakly in the lake.

The light of the flashlight shone in the dark water of the lake, and I saw a big-headed baby, with a pale gray face, staring at a pair of dripping black eyes, looking at me with a ghostly look; The deformed hands, which were only four fingers, hugged my thighs and pulled me desperately to the bottom of the pitch-black lake.

The strange creature that hugged my thigh was the baby fish that had been dormant on the shore just now. Looking at it so closely, I found that the baby fish really looked exactly like the fat-faced and big-eyed doll, but with a thick tail dragging behind it.

However, in my memory, the salamander seems to have a flat, blunt and round head, a large mouth, and undeveloped eyes. But the baby fish holding my thighs right now has a big round head, a pair of black and round eyes, and suddenly looks like a newborn baby, except for the tail behind it, there are no fish and amphibians on its body.

The baby fish is like a fish in the lake, and only a baby size baby fish can already drag me to the bottom of the lake.

I tried my best, and finally dragged the baby fish on my legs, struggling to swim towards the shore of the lake. Seeing that I was about to reach the shore, the baby fish holding my thigh suddenly swallowed my left leg in one bite.

The salamander has teeth but cannot chew, just opens its mouth wide, swallows the food, and then slowly digests it in the stomach.

I struggled to climb ashore in a panic, and looked at the baby fish that swallowed my left leg with some speechless and funny, and said in my heart: What a fish heart is not enough to swallow an elephant!

I sat on the shore and opened the slippery mouth of the baby fish with my hands, trying to pull my legs out.

As a result, the baby fish with a baby's face grabbed my left leg and refused to let go. And the baby fish looked too much like a baby, and I couldn't bear to be too heavy, so I started tug-of-war with it indefinitely. When I came back to my senses, I noticed that the lake was calm, and then I realized that something was wrong, something had happened to my teammates! At this time, I looked at the baby fish that bit my left leg, its dark eyes, full of evil spirits, and its face was dark and terrifying, like a ghost baby, completely missing its original cute appearance. Then I realized that I had just been bewitched by it.

The ghost baby-like baby fish is full of inexplicable evil spirits, it is definitely not an ordinary giant salamander, I don't know what kind of monster it looks like a human and a fish?

Seeing that my teammates had disappeared into the lake, I immediately got up from the ground, inserted the vajra into the gap between the baby-faced doll fish and its legs, and then raised my hand upwards vigorously, and directly swallowed the baby-faced doll fish that swallowed my left leg. Then, with an angry lift of his left leg, he threw the strange baby fish into the lake.

The body of the baby-faced baby fish, after being thrown into the lake, sank immediately, and I immediately learned that there was something terrible hidden in the lake. But saving people is important, and there is no time to hesitate at the moment.

I threw the backpack on my back to the ground, held the vajra in my hand, and jumped into the water again.

As soon as I jumped into the water, I saw the smoke man pulling his junior brother Night Owl to the surface, and the Night Owl's face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see where he was injured. When I saw that the man was not injured, I nodded at him, and a fierce man plunged to the bottom of the lake.

The lake was pitch black, and the light from the flashlight above my head was very limited, but I was still horrified to find that there were countless baby-faced baby fish swimming in the lake. Some of them are even taller than me, and their heads look like adults, and their handsome facial features are clearly visible.

The baby fish that is about to become a human being, without the tail, is the same as a naked swimming human, which makes me feel a sense of horror that I have never been born with, and it is very appropriate to use the mermaid to describe the huge baby fish.

I can't imagine the terrifying feeling of a group of white smooth mermaid monsters, staring at a pair of black bright eyes, approaching you. I felt that if I stayed in the water for even a second, I would suffocate to death, so I immediately swam upwards and rushed out of the water, and then took a big breath of air in horror to drive away the terrifying feeling that had spread to the depths of my soul.

After taking a breath of fresh air, I felt a lot more steady, and immediately swam towards the center of the lake. Suddenly, he noticed that the left side of the lake was overhead, so he immediately dived into the water again and swam straight to the left. I saw Zha Qiye puffing out his cheeks, putting his hands under Zha Ling'er's armpits, and competing with the two baby-faced baby fish at the bottom of the lake for Zha Ling'er.

Seeing this, I immediately stabbed the vajra in my hand at the baby-faced baby fish, and while the blood gushed up the lake, I dragged Zha Ling'er and Zha Qiye to swim to the shore.

I just killed a strange fish that looked like a person, but for some reason I couldn't bear it, and I even felt a little uncomfortable, and I had a very subtle sympathy.

Now that nine of my teammates are still in the lake and their lives are uncertain, I have developed sympathy for the enemy, and I really want to slap myself in the face to make my mind clearer. The huge grimace doll fish, which looks really like a water ghost, although it looks like a human, but it is more like a ghost, and there is an evil aura all over its body, it is not a human at all, and the monster who wants to kill his partner is not worthy of sympathy at all.

I pulled myself together, turned my heart aside, and immediately jumped into the water again. Meanwhile. Seventh Master and Yan Nan also jumped into the water again, and the three of us followed each other and swam towards the middle of the lake again.

My mood at the moment was all I thought about rescuing my companions from the Grimace Fish and the Evil Lake, and nothing else was on my mind.

Suddenly, the waves in the lake swept in, and I knew that someone must be fighting with a strange fish in front of me, so I immediately swam forward without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, I saw the fat man, the monkey and the other black and thin junior brother of the smoke man, Kuroko, surrounded by the baby-faced doll fish in the middle. Seeing that the three of them were about to drown, I waved the vajra in my hand and broke out of a gap in the encirclement of the strange fish. The smoke man and the seventh master were very tacitly on my side, covering my destruction, resisting the school of baby-faced dolls and closing the encirclement again. We succeeded in freeing the three fat men from the encirclement and immediately swam towards the shore. (To be continued......)
