Chapter 18: Underground Monsters
I nodded, pulled clean water out of my bag, and fed it to the fat man's mouth.
"Don't worry, take your time."
I looked at the river and saw that what was below didn't catch up.
It seems that these things can only live in the water, not on the banks of rivers.
Otherwise, with the ferocity of that thing, it must have followed the two of us to the river bank a long time ago, and would never have allowed the two of us to escape from his presence.
Cui Hao barely stood upright, and slowly moved with me to the side of the wall, leaning against the wall to rest.
He picked up the water bottle and drank it all, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I'm scared to death, the fat man thought that he would have to explain here today, but he didn't expect that there would be a glimmer of life."
After the fat man finished speaking, he reached out and patted me on the shoulder, his face full of gratitude.
"Little Man, thanks to your help today, otherwise I might really be buried under the water."
I shook my head and redirected the picture from the camera to my phone.
Then I took out all the photos I had just taken and looked at them carefully.
My focus is on the layer of mud and sand.
Cui Hao also came to my side and followed my gaze to look at the photos.
Soon, he saw a figure in the photo.
"Damn, there are so many ghost things down here, the two of us are just on the edge of life and death, if it weren't for luck, we would have been killed by these things under the water."
That being said, I always felt that something was wrong.
If there were so many figures under the water, their attack power would be similar to that of the guy who was fighting with us just now.
So why don't they attack en masse?
In this way, Cui Hao and I were powerless to resist at all, so we could only be pressed under the water by them.
Why did they only send one to attack us, are these things still moral, and they can't fight alone?
I shook off the jumbled thoughts in my head and continued to carefully observe the pictures under the river.
Cui Hao suddenly sighed.
"Hey, look at this, this long thing is tangled in their hair, but it doesn't seem to be a strand of hair."
The fat man took the camera, looked at it carefully, and then said to me suspiciously.
"How do I feel like these things are like long chains, the other end of which is fixed to the walls on both sides, so that they can't break free and escape?"
I hurriedly grabbed the camera and looked carefully at the chains that the fat man had said.
I hadn't noticed it before because the visibility in the dirt and sand layer was so low.
The long chain underneath was actually a chain, and the other end of the chain was indeed fixed to the mud and sand wall next to it.
No wonder these things have been floating under the riverbank and have never touched us, and that's why.
"It seems that the thing that shot at us must be that the underground chain is in disrepair, and one of the chains is loose, so this thing was released."
Cui Hao shook his head and sighed.
"We were unlucky, we just happened to encounter this thing's attack, and we almost got planted in the hands of this thing."
As he spoke, the fat man rolled up his sleeves directly and walked to the bank of the river with a menacing look.
"Little Man, you fat man can't hold back your anger today, I have to go down there and kill this thing."
If all the shadows in these soil layers were alive, Cui Hao would not dare to have such thoughts.
He knew that none of these things could break free from the ropes, which was why he decided to pounce and kill the monster that stood in our way.
I waved at him.
"You're staying here, you've just crawled out of the water, it's too dangerous to go any further. You're honestly waiting for me here, let me do it next. ”
Although the two-meter-tall monster looks extremely oppressive, and it is also extremely difficult to deal with.
But when I attacked this thing, I noticed that he seemed to be afraid of my secret weapon, and he would hide from it every time.
In that case, I've found a way to deal with this thing, and I naturally won't let him continue to live.
I sent a copy of the pictures I had pieced together before to Cui Hao via Bluetooth.
"You also study the images and see if you can find some usable information on them."
I pointed to the picture I had pieced together.
"We've been to two caves, one is a dead end, and the other has a stone gate. I'm going to go down and take a look, and this time I'm going to target the hole on the far left. ”
After listening to my words, Cui Hao hurriedly took the photo and observed it carefully.
He stared incredulously at the long dragon above.
"I'll go, this dragon must be hundreds of meters long, if those old scholars run underground, they won't be crazy!"
And this is indeed the case.
This long dragon has no meaning or value to us, but it is an extremely valuable material for those who study it.
Moreover, such a large underwater palace with such a long dragon carving should be a miracle in the cultural relics world for them.
After the fat man finished complaining, he stretched out his hand and pointed to one of the caves and said to me.
"I just went here, you can make a mark, there's a stone gate here too. When you went down the second time, didn't you also see a stone gate? Why isn't it marked? ”
The fat man casually drew a circle.
I shook my head and looked at the river.
"I was in such a hurry that I couldn't remember which grotto it was, so I had to go down and make sure."
I simply told Cui Hao to take care of my rope, so I plunged head-on into the river.
This time, I deliberately slowed down a few points as I was passing through the layers of sediment.
As expected.
I could clearly see a long rope spreading out of the black shadows, and the root end of the rope was embedded in the wall next to it.
It seems that they are the watchmen who are chained here.
Cui Hao's speculation is good.
The guy who attacked us was definitely the exception and the one who slipped through the net.
I looked around vigilantly, paying attention to every detail.
I'm coming down this time for one purpose.
Kill that monster.
At this point, the bottom of the river becomes drowsy.
Just as I was entering the clear water layer below the dirt layer, a dark shadow suddenly lunged at me.
The monster's eyes were scarlet, and the teeth in its mouth spread outward and grew seven or eight centimeters, and the tips of the teeth were extremely sharp.
I have no doubt that if this thing were stuck directly in my neck, it would bite through my throat in an instant.
This thing's attack is extremely strong.
The moment I poked my head out, he flicked his sharp claws and slashed at my face.
If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have been cut in the cheek by this claw.
I quickly backed away, closing the distance between me and the.
I looked up at the murky river overhead.
Cui Hao is on it, and as long as I pull the rope, he will drag me out with all his might.
Without any worries, I shook the weapon vigorously and stabbed it directly into the monster's eyes.
The flow of water in the ground hinders the power.
The hidden weapon still deflected half an inch and wiped it against the guy's face.
Still couldn't win with one move.
This guy was completely by me, and he lunged at me in a frenzy with little discipline.
Claws and teeth were biting at my body, as if they had made up their minds to let me die in this place.
I deliberately sold a flaw and exposed my chest.
This thing really fell for it.
He immediately lunged at me as if he had taken advantage of me, and at the same time stabbed my claws viciously in the chest.
Just as he was about to pierce me in the chest.
I swung the dagger hard and stabbed it into the thing's eye socket.
Poof.
My eyeballs were pierced by me, and I pulled them out of his sockets.
I quickly squeezed the thing's arm and slashed the tip of the weapon into his skin.
I shoved another weapon directly into his throat and cut his neck open.
A large puddle of fishy, dark red liquid gushed out from his body, instantly staining a river red.
The monster clutched its throat and roared upwards as if it wanted to let out a final wail.
But in the end, before he could shout, his body slowly slumped and sank down, until he completely stopped moving and sank to the bottom.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
I swam down to the bottom and kicked the monster in the body.
After confirming that the monster was really unresponsive and dead, I was completely relieved.
I circled around the monster.
Although this monster resembles a human-like anomaly, the skin on its surface is a dark blue color.
In addition, the monster had organs similar to fish gills on both sides of its cheeks.
When I was fighting with this thing just now, I could clearly see that her cheeks were bulging and sinking on both sides.
It looks like a fish drum plug breathing.
It seems that this thing is indeed a variant of fish, and it has something to do with people.
I don't know what kind of monster it is, but at least it's dead, and I'm safe for now.
The two of us were fighting for three or four minutes, and at this point my chest was swelling and about to explode.
If I stay any longer, I'll be completely suffocated underground.
I quickly paddled upwards and swam back to the riverbank to pick up Cui Hao.
When Cui Hao saw me coming up, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and dragged me to the riverbank.
"How? Did you come across that one of the following? ”
I nodded and told Cui Hao about the scene of the fierce battle just now.
He stared at me in amazement.
"Little Master Man is mighty, that thing is so fierce, and you directly knocked it down?"
As he spoke, the fat man tied the rope directly to his body again and gestured at me.
"Then I'll go down. Xiao Manye, you are waiting for me here, don't tighten the rope. ”
As he spoke, Cui Hao plunged head-on into the river.
