Chapter 118: Snake Suck
We walked all the way to the edge of the sea, and the water in the sea looked very clear. And it is also cool and pleasant to the touch, just been exposed to the scorching sun for a long time, we can't wait to take off the sunglasses and happily put the water on our faces.
The wind blowing from the direction of Haizi also became much cooler, and there happened to be a shade in the middle of the two sand dunes, and Lantern Xiao proposed, "Let's rest here for a while, eat and then set off." ”
Naturally, everyone had no opinion, so we sat in the shade to fill our stomachs. Kong Xue ate the least, of course, and ate the fastest, she pulled me up to the edge of the sea, took off her shoes and socks, and stepped into the sea barefoot.
I stood on the edge of the sea, looking at Kong Xue in the water, the sparkling waves reflected on her picturesque face, really like a Lingbo fairy. Her smile and cheek enchanted me. I couldn't help but take out my phone to take pictures.
Kong Xue stood in the water and waved at me, I smiled and nodded and was about to take off my shoes and socks as well, when I suddenly heard the Lantern Festival on the sand dunes shouting, "Zhuo Ran!" Dangerous!! "Kong Xue! Come on!! ”
I was startled and turned to look at them, only to find that they were shouting at the depths of Haizi and running towards our position.
I hurriedly looked into the sea, but was surprised to find that I don't know when there was a water wave in the depths of the sea, this water wave is very strange, it is not drifting with the waves, but breaking the ripples and rushing directly in the direction where we are staying, as if something under the water is approaching us, and the speed is very fast, in a blink of an eye it is almost in front of us.
I was shocked, rushed into the water in a few steps, grabbed Kong Xue and ran to the shore, but the speed of that thing was too fast, we had just run two steps, I only felt my feet sink violently, as if I was sucked by something, and my body involuntarily began to slide backwards.
I tried hard to break free a few times, but to no avail, I gritted my teeth, pushed Kong Xue to the shore violently, and shouted, "Run!" ”
Kong Xue was pushed forward by me and staggered a few steps, and fell to the sand on the shore.
I was a little relieved to see that Kong Xue was safe. But I didn't expect that as soon as I was confused, my feet were pulled again, and I was unsteady on my feet and fell into the water. I felt like the guy in the water was trying to pull me into the deep water.
I didn't know how the water was grabbing my feet, so I reached out and touched them, but I didn't realize that there was nothing on my legs and feet.
I was amazed, was I sucked in? The thought sent chills down my back, and I took a deep breath and plunged into the water, desperately scratching at the sand below with my hands, hoping to break free and climb back to shore.
But the suction behind me was too great, and my struggles were all in vain. Seeing that I was about to be dragged deeper into the water, I screamed for help, but as soon as I opened my mouth and poured water.
At that moment, I heard a thud in my ears, as if someone had jumped into the water, and then I felt the water behind me suddenly stir violently, and I was tossed around by the strong current. I took the opportunity to put my head out of the water and take a breath, but before I could take a second puff, I was pulled off again. The whole person hit the sand at the bottom of the water, and his face was covered by the sticky yellow sand.
Suddenly, I felt a hand suddenly grab my arm under the water, and the strength of this hand was so strong that it helped me stabilize my body in an instant.
I opened my eyes underwater to see that Wen Mo was pulling me hard, and at the same time I saw a cold light flash on his other hand, and then he shook it hard, and a cold light shot straight into the deep water behind me. At this time, the originally clear water is all muddied by the floating sand grains. I knew that the cold light was Wenmo's steel needle, but because the water had turned yellow, the steel needle disappeared when it was submerged in the water.
At this time, the water suddenly became quiet, Wenmo and I all held our breath and floated in the water, Wenmo didn't move, and I didn't dare to move. But I felt like my legs were still being sucked in, and suddenly I loosened and lost control of them.
I turned my head to look like Wenmo, he made a softer gesture to me, then pointed to the water, I nodded, and I was ready to swim up.
But as soon as I moved, I found that the muddy water in front of me suddenly stirred, and Wen Mo suddenly became vigilant, and the short knife on his waist was held in his hand as soon as his wrist flipped.
I stared wide-eyed into the water in front of me, and suddenly I saw two things emerge from the murky water, which looked a little dark red, and then became more and more obvious. I was stunned for a moment, and then I instantly remembered what this was, and the two "red lanterns" in the Qilian Mountain Canyon appeared in my mind, and then my whole body was a spirit, which was clearly the eyes of the big snake in the depths of Qilian Mountain!
How could it be here! In an instant, my whole body was wooden, and my teeth couldn't help but shudder.
Wen Mo suddenly pushed me hard, and then another cold light shot at the red eyes. We didn't care if I was hit, Wenmo dragged me to escape to the shore as fast as I could.
I used my hands and feet together, and I climbed in a panic.
As soon as I came out of the water, someone pulled me up. As soon as I reached the shore, I coughed violently, coughing up all the water I had just choked on.
At this time, Wenmo also ran to the shore and shouted at the Lantern Festival: "Quick, stay away from Haizi!" ”
Lantern Festival and glasses set me up and dragged me up, Kong Xue also looked panicked and stared back at the still churning sea.
After a few minutes, Haizi returned to calm. I fell to the warm sand, gasping for air. Kong Xue sat aside to help me wipe the water on my face, and there was still a look of horror in her eyes.
Lantern Xiao didn't know what was going on underwater, and asked, "What's going on?" What's underwater? ”
I felt my breathing calm down a little, "I, I saw two red eyes. ”
"Red eyes?" Lantern Xiao didn't react for a while, "What red eyes?" ”
I looked at Lantern Xiao and then at Kong Xue, "Do you still remember the giant snake in the depths of Qilian Mountain?" ”
"Remember," Lantern Xiao and Kong Xue both nodded, and then Kong Xue exclaimed, "You mean, this is ...... below"
At this time, Lantern Xiao also reacted, "This, how is this possible!! You can't be mistaken. ”
I shook my head, "No, those eyes didn't make me feel wrong, and the reason I was dragged into the water just now was because I was sucked by a snake." ”
"Snake suck?" Lantern Xiao asked strangely, "What do you mean?" ”
"I know this," said the glasses on the side, "I grew up in the countryside, I can often see snakes, one summer when I went out to play, I walked to the river and saw a big dragonfly fluttering on the ground but couldn't fly, I was curious to go over and pick it up, but as soon as I looked down, I saw a snake lying in the grass not far in front of me, and the snake was staring at this dragonfly. Later, I went back to tell my dad that it was called snake sucking, and that some snakes could suck their prey, whether it was a frog, a bird, or a bug, and they couldn't run away if they were sucked by a snake. ”
"Really?" Lantern Xiao was a little unconvinced, "It's not your dad who teases you." ”
"No," the glasses shook his head and continued, "Because I saw it once, it was me and my dad who went down to work in the field, and saw a bird lying on the ground fluttering its wings but not flying, and I thought it was an injured bird when I saw it, and just wanted to go up and catch it, my dad grabbed me, and he told me that it might be a snake suck." My dad looked for a while, then picked up a rock and threw it at the grass on the other side. I heard a rustling in the grass, and I saw a snake crawl out of the grass and swim into the river. Strange to say, the bird fluttered its wings and flew away at this time. ”
After the glasses finished speaking, Lantern Xiao frowned, "So it's really that snake?" ”
"Could it be that there happens to be a similar snake here?" Kong Xue blinked and guessed.
"Probably not," I began, "not to mention how this kind of snake could be so common, the resources in this sea alone are so scarce, and the food cannot support a species to grow so big." ”
Lantern Xiao shook her head, "What's going on?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "Now the only explanation that seems more reasonable is that the dark river channel below this sea is connected to a certain river channel in the depths of the Qilian Mountains, and the giant snake swims from the dark river. ”
"Holy!" Lantern Xiao scolded, "Is it really so outrageous!" If that's the case, let's have too much fate with it, this is simply a fate to meet thousands of miles away! ”
In fact, not only did Lantern Xiao find it hard to believe, but I also felt like nonsense when I analyzed it myself.
Kong Xue waved her hand, "Forget it, no matter what it is or where it came from, this place is evil enough, I think we should leave as soon as possible!" ”
"It's good!" So we packed up and left Haizi and went back to our car.
The clothes on our bodies are basically quick-drying materials, and the temperature in the desert is relatively high, so after tossing for a while, the body will be dry.
Sitting in the car, Lantern Xiao started the car and continued in the direction that Wen Mo had just pointed out. I looked sideways at the sea, and a feeling of extreme unease welled up in my heart. I think it's not just me who feels this way, because everyone's face is not good-looking.
