Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Water Ghost (Water Monkey)
As soon as my head was plunged in, I touched down the girl's calf again, don't say that I was taking the opportunity to eat tofu, because I didn't open the demon corpse eye at that time, and I couldn't see anything in the water, so I could only find a place by feeling.
I was surprised, this was a good thing, only a few tens of seconds, and there was a thick tail-like thing wrapped around the girl's leg.
If the demon corpse eye is not opened at this time, and if you can't figure out what it is, it is estimated that this woman will faint from exhaustion, and it will be over by then.
As soon as the eyes of the demon corpse opened, the surroundings suddenly lit up, and the mirrors in the river were all incorporated into my eyes, and there was no longer the astringency of the eyes before becoming a demon corpse, in which it was the same as on land.
I saw two green tails, each as thick as an adult's arm, wrapped around the two legs of the girl on the lake, so that the girl wanted to swim but couldn't swim, so she could only struggle and consume her physical strength, and then let me not think that she had drowned.
I surfaced every three or four minutes because I didn't want people to think that something had happened to me in the water.
Following the green tail, I saw a creature I had never seen before, but it was very similar to the water ghost in the folk tales that my grandmother told me when I was a child.
The water ghost is also known as the dewy ghost, the water monkey, the face is hideous like a green monkey, the mouth is full of sharp teeth, the whole body is miserable green with a long tail, there are purples between the palms of the hands and feet, and the power in the water is infinite, and it is not as good as an adult on land.
This kind of ghost is not a real ghost, but people have never seen a water monkey creature, but the water monkey is extremely vengeful, has a strong ability to assemble groups, and is narrow-minded, if you are not careful, you will provoke it, if you provoke them, they will chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you.
My grandmother once told me a story about a water monkey that drowned three teenagers in a certain place, and it is said that when the bodies were recovered, they were horrific and full of shocking scars on their swollen bodies.
There were obvious squeezing marks on the calves, the facial features were stuffed with silt, and the expressions of the three people were extremely painful, and some elderly people on the spot thought that this might be caused by water monkeys.
The pond where the three teenagers were killed is located in a remote location with little human activity. And a considerable part of the pond is covered with tall aquatic plants.
Moreover, the three dead teenagers can all swim, and there is no undercurrent or whirlpool in this pond, and it is most likely that there are water monkeys in this pond, that is, legendary water ghosts.
When the parents of the victims heard this, they hated and feared it, and they had no choice but to go home and continue to create people.
Looking at the motionless water monkey in the water, I felt the urge to beat him up and see which of the two of us was the best.
But there was no way, it was still important to save people, I could only rely on brute force to pull the tail of the water monkey, but it was too slippery to untie it at all.
I was angry, and the strange ability instantly poured into my arm, and the two tails of the water monkey were a horizontal split, and I was stunned to cut off the two tails that would not bleed.
The woman was rescued, and now what bothers me is that the underwater water monkey was cut off by me, and it will definitely fight back, but I have to escort this girl ashore, it's really a dilemma!
I was still rational and wanted to send her to a place five or six meters away from the river bank as soon as possible, and then let the people above pull the girl up with a rope, so I swam desperately to the shore.
I could clearly feel the water monkey fluctuating under the water, and it looked so hideous, even more hideous than a ghost.
When I used to read a book, I remember that the water monkeys written in it seemed to like to guard some kind of large tomb underwater, and they lived in groups, but at the bottom of the river here, I only saw two, could it be that their headquarters are not here, and there is really an unknown tomb somewhere in this river?
''Above, throw down a rope, I'm going to let her go up from here!'' ’’~
By this time I had swam to the shore, and the policemen on the other side of the shore shouted and motioned for them to throw down a rope.
If they don't throw the rope, except for the staircase a hundred meters away, the rest of the city is surrounded by brick walls, three or four meters high, and I can't go up at all without using the ability, but if I use the ability, my identity will be revealed.
Finally, the rope fell, and I wrapped it around the girl's waist and motioned to pull it up, while I watched the terrible waters behind me with trepidation.
''Look, what's that big green thing, boy, it's rushing towards you, get out of the way, be careful!'' I don't know what the kind lady shouted, anyway, it seems to be quite anxious to hear the voice.
Before I could react, I felt something slippery grab my calf and pull it underwater, I looked down and looked, isn't this the green, strong, but hideous water monkey!
Several policemen had never seen such a strange creature in the water, and hurriedly took out their pistols and shot wildly at the water monkey.
But the bullets didn't frighten it, and none of the bullets that hit the water monkey penetrated its skin.
At this time, the water monkey seemed to be stimulated and went crazy, and the huge pulling force directly dragged me to the deep water, and the last one took me to the side branch of the Zhensha River.
I kept my composure along the way, thinking that my first generation of Demon Corpse King couldn't die at the hands of a small water monkey, I just wanted to figure out where it was going to drag me to, and where there were more water monkeys.
Finally, the thing that dragged me stopped, and to my surprise, it was out of Z City, and it was estimated that it was more than ten miles away from Z City.
This water monkey is powerful enough, it's only been a long time, but it's only half an hour, and it actually dragged me in the water for more than ten miles, and we are still in the water at this time.
The water monkey didn't see if I was dead or not, and directly carried me on his shoulder, revealing the water.
At this time, the water is dark, and it is surrounded by large banyan trees, and the lush foliage directly assists the sky outside, forming a natural swamp.
I don't think anyone has ever been here, because the boat can't get in and no one can get in, and the suction of the silt alone can suck a cow into the swamp and drown in five minutes.
But this black swamp with rotten leaves is the perfect natural place for a slippery creature like the water monkey.
I thought that the water monkey would be really weak on land, but I thought wrong, the water monkey is as strong on land as it is in the water, and it is no problem to carry my more than 100-pound youth.
It made me wonder where it was going, and just as I was wondering, I heard a hoarse roar coming from the wide treetop branches in the distance.
And this kind of roar is something I have never heard before, like the cry of an old woman, very strange.
