Chapter 40: Thousands of miles chasing the murderer
The two also immediately rushed to Kanas again, and after arriving there, for safety reasons, they asked the local government to assist in temporarily closing the scenic spot, and tourists within 10 kilometers must clear the site. The clearance work has attracted a lot of dissatisfaction from tourists, but there is no way, the scenic spot needs to be re-maintained, and it took another day for all open attractions to be closed. In the evening, after confirming that there were no large-scale gatherings of tourists and residents around, the two dived under the water again, this time with Yang Xiaojun's sense of divine sense, and quickly found the cave at the bottom of the lake.
When the two approached the cave, the water monster also sensed the crisis, and a powerful stream of water gushed out from the cave, even if it was such a strong body as theirs, it was washed out by the current for a distance of more than a thousand meters, but fortunately, this force was not enough to cause physical trauma to the two of them. After the water monster came out of the cave, Yang Xiaojun could only describe the scene in front of him as shocking.
The huge body of the water monster is three hundred meters long, the huge head looks like a small mountain, the head looks a bit like the legendary dragon, and there are two not very obvious protrusions on the top of the head, like two small tombs standing on the top of the mountain, and the whiskers like dozens of trees hang on the side of the mouth. Compared to the large body, the slender neck occupies more than half of the length of the body, and the diameter is about 20 meters. The abdomen has four limbs that resemble fins and non-fins and feet rather than feet, and the tail is similar in shape to that of a shark, but much larger, and humans are as small as two small tadpoles swimming next to a large shark in front of it. When the water monster saw these two uninvited guests, it snorted with jets of water in its nostrils, and the stones at the bottom of the lake were also tumbling from the bottom of the lake to the surface of the lake.
The two of them drew their long swords, one after the other, blocking the two directions of travel of the water monster and attacking the water monster at the same time. This water monster has no mana except for its large size and hard body, but it only uses its huge body to rush left and right to hit its opponents, its tail and whiskers, as well as any movable part of its body, are weapons for humans, and any part of its body will form a huge torrent at the bottom of the lake. This caused a lot of trouble to the attack of the two, although the long sword moves of the two could pierce the body of the water monster, but the nearly half an hour of fighting did not cause much damage to the water monster. The wound on his body that was pierced by the long sword was like a small hole pierced by a needle into the human body, and even so, there were many wounds, and a little dark blue water began to slowly ooze, which may be the blood of the water monster.
The water monster gradually entered a state of rage, and it probably had never encountered such a small and nasty opponent, like a person being bitten by two mosquitoes from time to time, but never being able to hit it. The enraged monster kept ramming its tail and head against its opponent, each of which sent a huge shockwave that made the two of them feel dizzy. After countless hits failed to drive its opponents away, its strength began to wane. At this time, the attack density of Yang Xiaojun and Xie Wuji began to increase, and the blue liquid on the water monster's body began to increase more and more, turning into a blue water film covering this body.
The water monster should have realized the danger at this time, and its tail shook vigorously a few times, and Yang Xiaojun behind was thrown out a few hundred meters away. At the same time, he suddenly opened his big mouth, and Xie Wuji, who was dozens of meters in front of the water monster, felt a huge suction force follow, and his body quickly entered the water monster's mouth with the current. The powerful suction force made Xie Wuji not have time to use the water escape, and he felt like he was being sucked into a huge cave, wielding his long sword and slashing at the surrounding cave walls. It felt that the body was not under his control at all, and the long sword body could not directly contact the mouth of the water monster, but the power of the sword qi still made the water monster feel pain.
With a "bang", a powerful current directly threw Xie Wuji out of the bottom of the water and landed heavily on the top of the mountain by the lake. Xie Wuji felt sore. After a while, I sat up, moved my sore body, but it was not a big deal, I recovered a little hard, and dived to the bottom again. Without Yang Xiaojun's guidance, he couldn't quickly find the location of the water monster, but through the fluctuations of the current at the bottom of the lake, he felt that it should be a few kilometers ahead. The huge torrent rushing in the distance blocked Xie Wuji's footsteps again and again, and after a while, he felt that the power of the water flow was significantly reduced, and he finally sensed Yang Xiaojun's location, and after rushing over, he saw Yang Xiaojun breathing and recuperating at the door of the water monster cave.
"There's still a way out of the cave, the water monster has already escaped," Yang Xiaojun said after a pause.
"Is there a dark river at the bottom of Kanas Lake?"
"Well, I don't know where it leads, now the water monster is at least two hundred kilometers away from us"
"This guy is really fast, can you know where he is fleeing, how can we keep up with such a fast speed?"
"I can't feel the direction, I just feel that it is dark all around, the bottom of the water is sometimes high and sometimes low, the deepest part is about four or five thousand meters above the surface, and the shallow part is about two thousand meters deep."
"It seems that there is little hope from the bottom of the water, whether the water monster can be sensed from the ground"
"No problem, my divine sense has always been on the water monster, and this special connection can be sensed even if it is thousands of miles away"
"Then we'll chase it from the ground and see where it's hiding."
After saying that, the two left Kanas and fought for a night, although they did not suffer any internal injuries, but the consumption of physical strength was still huge. As long as you know where the water monster is, you are not in a hurry, and it is imperative to recover your strength. After believing that the water monster had left Kanas, the two also notified the local authorities and reopened the scenic spot. Last night, there were some explorers who sneaked into the scenic spot, and told people about the vision that happened at night in Kanas Lake through various information transmission channels, and even some photos to prove that there were indeed water monsters here, and soon the news of Kanas water monsters spread to every corner of the world through the Internet, which also attracted more tourists from all over the world to Kanas.
According to people familiar with the matter, after receiving the news of the temporary closure of the Kanas Lake Scenic Area, they thought that the notice was too sudden and there must be a secret that no one knows. Curiosity and curiosity have led some daring explorers to risk their lives to lurk in some hidden places of Lake Kanas in order to witness this miracle happening. So I basically didn't sleep all night, waiting for the government department to clear the scene, quietly sneaking out of the lurking place, finding the best position to set up the recording equipment, adjusting the angle and quietly waiting for the miracle to happen.
The hard work paid off, and in the middle of the night, there was a huge movement in the lake, and the lake seemed to be boiling, and a huge column of water kept rushing out of the lake in the center. The surrounding ground shook as if an earthquake of magnitude five or six had occurred, and the tremor was felt even from 10 kilometers away. A tourist's video camera also recorded a column of water more than 100 meters high in the distance, rushing out of a black spot and landing on the mountain in the distance, but what the black spot was, due to the lack of light and distance, could not be seen clearly, and no animal carcasses were found on the mountain in the next few days. Based on the distance and the size of the black spots, it is speculated that the water column may have thrown a small creature into the mountain, such as a small shark or whale.
Some well-wishers on the Internet have speculated that it is possible that a group of large aquatic animals are fighting for territory with water monsters at the bottom of the water, so there is a large-scale lake bottom war. Whether the monster won or the shark drove the monster away, or whether the two sides shook hands and didn't disturb each other, the lake was calm again. After that, various legends surrounding the water monster came and went, and there were different opinions. However, in any case, the earthquake around Kanas Lake did occur, and several water columns and abnormal fluctuations in the lake were also supported by video data, and this supernatural phenomenon cannot but make people think about it.
Yang Xiaojun and Xie Wuji didn't have time to pay attention to this plausible legend, and now their main task was to destroy the water monster before it could cross the catastrophe, and not let it bring us disaster.
Yang Xiaojun felt that the water monster stopped in one place, and the surrounding area was still a dark green ocean, although there were different landforms on the surface, mountains, rivers, forests, plains and deserts, but the underground was connected, and the whole earth was like a huge ocean. Sensing the danger around it, the monster began to stick out its long tongue and lick thousands of pinholes all over its body. The mucus in the mouth soon enveloped the entire body, and the dark blue blood no longer oozing outward, and the water monster was probably exhausted at this time, lying motionless in the dark sea.
Although both now have the ability to fly against the wind, this spell is very mana consuming to perform. They need to rest and track to make sure they have enough mana to handle the next battle. They contacted the local government and sent a helicopter, and under the guidance of Yang Xiaojun, they followed their divine imprint to the place where the water monster lived. The staff member in charge of the transport had no idea of what he was doing, only that the unit leader had instructed them to transport the two men to their destination and return immediately. When Yang Xiaojun said that he was here, the staff on the helicopter showed an incredible expression and asked, "The two leaders confirm that this is here?" ”
Yang Xiaojun looked at the endless Gobi Desert below, and said, "That's right, this is here, let's go down here." ”
"This is Lop Nur, known as the Sea of Death, the leader is not mistaken," the pilot asked with some concern.
"Your mission is over, you can return immediately" After receiving Yang Xiaojun's affirmative reply, the pilot didn't ask anything more, lowered the rope ladder and watched the two walk into the endless desert, and disappeared like a grain of sand after a while. Although I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, I know that this is a person who is carrying out a special task, and each has its own discipline, so don't ask too much if you shouldn't ask.
The two traveled a distance in the desert, and Yang Xiaojun stomped his foot and said, "It's four thousand meters deep below."
"How can we go down, we don't have the ability to go to heaven and earth yet," Xie Wuji asked half-jokingly.
"You don't have the ability to go directly into the ground, since the underground water roads are connected, then you can only find a place with water and follow the water flow into the underground" Yang Xiaojun looked around, except for the vast sand dunes, there are no rivers and lakes. The two searched around carefully, and finally found a lake that was not too big twenty kilometers away from their landing.
The two sat down by the lake to rest and recuperate, adjusted themselves to their best condition, and then began to go underwater. The depth of the lake is about a few meters, and the bottom of the lake is all fine sand, and the water continues to seep into the ground along the cracks in the sand, and this kind of spell that enters the bottom with the water is not too high, so soon the two of them entered the huge ocean thousands of meters below the surface. There are rocks and caves in the ocean, but there are basically no creatures in sight, and the sea is always dark. But they are now using their divine sense to perceive the surrounding environment, so everything within two kilometers is clearly visible.
Soon, the resting water monster also sensed the presence of the two, and at this time the water monster had no will to fight, and only wanted to escape. The fierce battle lasted only a few minutes, and the water monster once again escaped from the encirclement of the two. After chasing thousands of kilometers in the underground ocean, the mana consumption of the two of them was extremely high, and they were also a little exhausted. After all, the water is the home of the water monster, and no matter how powerful the mana is, it can't track for thousands of kilometers. Before the mana was exhausted, he slowly came out of the ground and chased him to Qinghai Lake. At this time, Yang Xiaojun sensed that the water monster was already more than a thousand kilometers away from him, and it was still fleeing, but no matter where it went, it could not get rid of Yang Xiaojun's divine sense.
At this time, the two of them are not in a hurry, they can't catch up anyway, so let's rest first. Similarly, contacting the relevant departments to track them with a helicopter can also give them enough time to rest. After a day of repairing between the two, Yang Xiaojun began to make a divine connection, and the scene that appeared in front of him surprised him. Apparently the monster that had been badly injured by them was exhausted, and it sank quietly to the bottom of the water, and except for the beating of its heart, all other functions were gradually weakening. There are dozens of water monsters of various sizes around it, some of the larger ones are about the same size as the other one, and the small ones are the size of whales. They seem to be carrying out some kind of ritual, each water monster is in a predetermined route up and down, left and right, head, neck, tail movements seem to be very random, but it seems to contain some specific law, it seems that this is the lair of the water monster, what are they doing?
Yang Xiaojun told Xie Wuji all that he saw, and neither of them knew what was going on. With so many water monsters, do the two of them have to go and kill them all? Let's not talk about whether you have the ability or not, even if you have the ability, you feel that this is no longer upholding justice, this is completely murderous. Most of the water monsters still seem to be infant-level, so what is the difference between themselves and the devil when they treat some other species that are powerless, maybe in the eyes of the water monster, humans are devils. After thinking about it for a while, I still felt that I should go down and see before making a decision.
The plane flew over the vast sea, and after a few hours the pilot told them that it was not Chinese waters, and felt that it was less than a hundred kilometers away from the monster's lair, and then the two asked the pilot to place them on a small isolated island. They didn't want to go directly into the water, so that ordinary people like pilots would not be able to accept it, and the pilots in charge of transporting them also showed the same puzzled expressions as last time, but they didn't ask anything, discipline is the minimum quality of every soldier.
