Chapter 97: Underwater Shadow

"The present world, the present world." The fat man smiled gloomily, "If you dare to fight Kangballo's idea, this special damn is called retribution." ”

Zhang Haixing's expression was unknown, staring at the corpse and not knowing what he was thinking.

Wu Xie glanced at Zhang Qixun and pondered: "If this German was bitten to death while he was alive, then under what circumstances was he attacked by the strange fish in the lake?" Looking at the appearance of his corpse, it seemed that he didn't even have the slightest room to struggle when it happened. ”

"And the bullet holes on his body are also very controversial, assuming that there was no internal commotion in the ranks at that time, then it is likely that when these bullets were fired from the muzzles of their comrades, they were not actually shot at the German leader, but at the strange fish that suddenly appeared out of the lake to attack them."

Zhang Qi looked at the blue lake and nodded, "Yes, when they passed on the ice, they somehow alarmed the Garuda in the lake, and Garuda broke through the ice and surfaced to attack them. ”

"Garuda?" Zhang Haixing was puzzled.

"Garuda is what you call a strange fish." Zhang Qixun explained lightly, "The fish in the lake are also raised by the Kangbaro people, and their role is probably the same as that kind of human-faced bird, all of which are to protect the bronze gate. ”

"Artificially raised?" Zhang Haixing muttered, "In other words, you Kangbalo people can control the actions of this strange fish?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Qixun shook his head, "Garuda will not attack the people in the boat, because before the boat crossing the lake was built, the wooden planks used were soaked in the juice of a special plant at the bottom of the lake, and there was a familiar smell of Garuda on it. In this way, the boat floating on the lake will be mistaken for the same kind by Garuda, so it will not be attacked. ”

The fat man put his hand on his forehead to cover the sunset, looked into the distance, and muttered, "Don't talk about boats, you can't even see a sheepskin raft on such a big lake, it's going to be dark, how can we get there." ”

"We must get to the Hanging Temple before the sun sets." Zhang Haixing lit a cigarette, took off the weapon that had been hanging on his back belt and began to debug, it was a crossbow arrow.

The fat man snorted coldly, "What you said is light, how can you live?" Fluttering and flying. ”

Zhang Haixing didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, took out a full quiver from his backpack and hung it on his waist, and said coldly: "Walking directly on the ice can save a lot of time, although it is dangerous, but if you walk from the shore of the lake, we can't walk through it when we are tired." ”

The fat man stretched out his arms and measured it weakly, estimated the distance, and then looked at Zhang Haixing with neurotic eyes, "I said Mrs., your old man's brain is not blowing in the cold wind, and it will be twice as long to walk from the shore of the lake, why can't you walk." ”

Zhang Haixing turned her head suddenly, looked at him with disgust, and scolded: "Shut up if you don't fucking understand, what kind of place do you think this is, you can go and do whatever you want?" The shoreline here looks like a few distances now, but once the sun goes down, something terrible happens here. ”

The fat man was scolded by her grandson-like tone, and he almost fell back in anger when he reacted, this stinky old woman actually dared to talk to the fat man like this?

"Your mother's ......"

Before the fat man finished scolding, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the ice lake that seemed to be swimming towards him, and immediately shut up.

The rest of the group saw it too, and a huge black shadow swam against the ice sheet beneath their feet.

The shadow was really big, like a train that had sunk in the lake, moving very slowly, and its body swayed slightly, swimming straight under everyone's feet.

They stared intently at the shadow, seeing that it had been swimming around the area, as if it had heard the movement and came out to patrol.

The ice sheet beneath their feet was close to the shore of the lake, so thick that they couldn't see any detail below the ice, and they could only see the general outline of the thing, and the head at the front alone was as wide as two locomotives together.

Not to mention that its body, along with its tail, has grown beyond everyone's knowledge.

The fat man's eyes were frightened, and his face was full of words that if this special mother was a fish, the fat man's fat words were written upside down.

The shadow lingered around for about three minutes, and finally swam away in a large circle, gradually fading away below the ice until it was no longer visible.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The fat man gasped and just wanted to speak, when he saw Zhang Qixun frowning and making a silent gesture at him, and at the same time quickly gesticulating to signal everyone to be sure to stabilize the plate.

Although Wu Xie didn't know why, he still did it.

As soon as they were ready, they felt a violent shock of the ice sheet under their feet in the next second, and everyone suddenly had the illusion that the entire ice surface was about to be overturned.

Everyone stood firm with trembling legs, and saw that the black shadow had just taken advantage of the fact that they had just relaxed their vigilance, silently killed the horse pistol, and directly slammed its huge head into the ice sheet above.

If it weren't for Zhang Qixun's timely reminder just now, this collision would definitely scare everyone to roll and crawl, and at the same time, their location would definitely be exposed on the spot.

Perhaps, this is also the purpose of the giant beast in the lake, which is trying to see if there are intruders above the ice, because it is too close to the ice on the shore to look up.

It was only after the shadow disappeared for a long time that everyone came back to their senses from the fear of the giants of the deep sea.

Feng's legs were so weak that he knelt directly on the ice, trembling like chaff.

Thanks to the previous dirty, Zhang Jixun was afraid that Feng would put a black gun in his back, so the fat man handed over the gun that was assigned to him when he set off.

With his psychological quality, when the black shadow came over just now, he would definitely put the muzzle of the gun at the ice, and if he didn't pay attention to the misfire, he would kill everyone.

Everyone sat on the ice for a long time before Zhang Haixing spoke softly and asked Zhang Qixun, "What was that just now?" That thing can't look like a fish, its tail is too long! ”

"Garuda is not a fish, it is a giant beast of water that has lived here since ancient times, and the extremely cold environment here is unique for them, and it took thousands of years for the Kangballo people to come to an agreement with them."

As he spoke, Zhang Qixun took out gauze from his backpack and quickly wrapped it around the military boots, stuffing a thick tampon between the gauze and the sole.

"Hurry up, the sun has set on the top of the mountain."

Wu Xie hurriedly did so, just now they just spoke in a normal voice, which had already attracted Garuda's vigilance.

In order to pass silently on the ice, they had to add shock and sound insulation to the soles of their shoes. (End of chapter)
