18 Fish Monsters
The snow-spotted stone fish monster sat on the stone bed at the bottom of the lake in a daze, a little puzzled.
Normally, after swallowing food, it will digest it quickly.
But this time it was strange, the food had been stuck in its belly, wrapped in its mucus, but there seemed to be no sign of digestion.
...
I don't know how long it took.
Suddenly, Su Chen rolled over from a thick pile of mucus and woke up.
"Whew!"
He gasped for breath, as if he had had had an incomparably long nightmare, and finally woke up from a bizarre dream.
I didn't have time to think about what was happening in the dream.
Su Chen only felt that his chest was very stuffy, as if he was being stuffed in an extremely closed place.
It was dark all around, and I couldn't see anything clearly.
An incomparably strong fishy smell choked into his nose, and he coughed violently a few times, as if he was wrapped in a pile of stinky fish.
Su Chen was sticky all over his body, stretched out his hand to touch the surroundings, and was shocked to find that there were wriggling flesh walls on all sides, and he didn't know what it was, wrapping him up.
Su Chen was suddenly a little flustered and frightened, could it be that he was eaten into his stomach by a big beast like a giant python?
He instinctively touched his waist and touched a woodcutter hanging from his waist.
Immediately pulled it out, swinging his knife and slashing at the surrounding flesh walls, trying to cut a way out.
"Poof!"
A knife goes down, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
Suddenly, the flesh wall shrank sharply, and it was like turning over the river and the sea.
The flesh wall in front of him suddenly opened, and a bright light appeared, and a large stream of lake water poured in, flooding the small abdominal space.
Su Chen hurriedly kicked his legs on the flesh wall, jumped out towards the light, and quickly rushed into a bright lake with a bang, coming out of the dark flesh wall wrapping and regaining its brightness.
The water of the lake is clear and turquoise, translucent like water.
Su Chen grew up soaking in the water in the lake of Zhouzhuang Water Township since he was a child, and he is the best at fishing in the water, and he has an incomparable sense of familiarity and security in the lake.
Su Chen held his breath in the water, looked back in the direction he came out, and saw a huge snow-spotted stone fish monster with two feet.
This fish monster is extremely ugly and hideous, the body of the fish is raised with a large number of tumors, gray as stone, if you don't look carefully, you think it is a two-zhang big rock.
A stream of blood was gushing from the corners of its mouth, and a pair of gong eyes were as scarlet as lanterns, glaring at him angrily.
Fish monsters?
Su Chen was startled, kicked his hands and feet, and almost choked on a mouthful of lake water.
This ~ is this the legendary Taihu Lake fish monster?
In the hometown of Zhouzhuang Water Town, fishermen often say that there is often a terrible fish monster in Taihu Lake.
This fish monster has a huge body like a boat, an ugly and terrifying face, and runs rampant in the lake, often ramming the fishing boats in the lake and biting through the fishing nets. There are even small children who are devoured by fish monsters.
Therefore, every year in Laba, the fishermen and adults of Zhouzhuang Water Town have to use glutinous rice, pig heads, and sheep heads to worship the fish monsters and dragon gods in the big lake, praying that the big lake is calm and calm, so that the fish monsters don't come out to harm people.
The terrifying big fish in front of him is clearly the legendary Taihu Lake fish monster in the mouths of fishermen.
Su Chen also recalled at this time, before he fell unconscious, he vaguely saw a huge fish appear. This big fish monster must have taken advantage of the venom of the golden krait snake before, fell unconscious by the lake, and swallowed him into the abdomen.
It was from the belly of this fish monster that he escaped just now.
The fish monster was obviously extremely angry, and after eating the food in its belly, it actually escaped again. It has been rampant in Taihu Lake for hundreds of years, and it has not encountered anything like this.
"Smack~!"
The fish monster's short tail flicked, and the huge fish body came towards Su Chen, opening its huge mouth violently, wanting to swallow him again.
Su Chen was taken aback.
He knew that the speed at which he could escape in the water was definitely not as fast as that of this fish monster.
So you can't escape, you can only fight.
As a disciple of the fisherman, he grew up fishing in the water since he was a child, and his water nature is naturally very good, and his experience is extremely rich.
This foot went down, and it was a full forty or fifty pounds of kicking force.
"Click!"
The big fish monster was anxious to swallow Su Chen, but he was unprepared to be kicked by Su Chen, and by accident, his fragile and sensitive nostrils were dented by Su Chen's kick, and gurgling blood came out, and he suddenly suffered from pain, and the pain was extremely sore, so he hurriedly turned around and fled into the water.
Su Chen didn't dare to chase this terrifying big fish monster, tread water in the lake, and floated up the lake with his breath.
Soon surfaced and hurriedly swam to the shore of the lake.
The rock-like huge and ugly big fish monster was injured in the abdomen and nose, and was hit by Su Chen twice in succession, and he was a little stunned for a while, but he didn't chase after him.
It swam violently in the lake, and the huge mouth sucked violently, and a large whirlpool of dozens of feet suddenly appeared in the lake, with a strong suction force like an undercurrent at the bottom of the river, wanting everything on the surface of the lake to be sucked into the bottom of the lake.
In a moment, it set off several large waves on the surface of the lake, slapping against the shore of the lake, venting its anger.
It resembles an enraged water demon, making waves in this tranquil lake, and the food that is so regretful that it has slipped away.
"Could this fish monster really become a water goblin?"
On the shore, Su Chen was shocked, looking back at the huge whirlpool and the big waves in the lake, he couldn't help but feel a tingling scalp in horror.
This is the terrifying strength of this Taihu Lake fish monster, I am afraid that the great master of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes is here, and I dare not provoke it. Before, the fish monster was in a hurry to swallow himself, and he didn't use these water demon spells. If it had created a whirlpool just now, I am afraid it would not have been able to escape.
Fortunately, he has already landed, and he is not afraid of this fish monster who can only make waves in the lake.
Su Chen's clothes had already been soaked by the lake water, and his body was full of slimy fishy liquid, exuding bursts of fishy smell.
He washed the fishy slime off his body at the shallow water's edge, thinking back to the many things that had happened before.
After he was poisoned and unconscious by the lake, he was swallowed by the fish monster and sank to the bottom of the lake. Then I had another bizarre dream in the belly of the fish monster.
I dreamed that I turned into a small cyan light ball, ate a lot of green qi, and flew down on a rocky spiritual mountain. After a good night's sleep, a root grew, rooted in the rock, unable to move. No one responds to crying, which is too uncomfortable.
This made Su Chen cry and laugh, and his heart palpitated.
Fortunately, it should have been just a strange dream, and I finally woke up.
If he becomes a little primordial god and has been trapped in Lingshan, he will be depressed to death.
Su Chen took a look at his wrist and found that the two sharp tooth marks bitten by the golden ring viper, the bruise had subsided, the wound was ruddy, and it seemed that most of the venom had been dissolved.
The wound that was previously cut with a medicine knife was bled out, and the wound had healed by this time.
In the shallow water by the lake, Su Chen couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that his half-uneaten wild ginseng was still there, and quickly picked it up, and then found the medicine basket he left on the shore of the lake.
Wring out his wet clothes and looking up at the sky, it was already evening, and a crimson sunset reflected the sky.
Su Chen didn't know how long he had been in a coma, and he thought about going back to Yaowang Villa quickly, otherwise he would be scolded by Master Li Kui.
He carried a medicine basket and a bag on his back and walked over the mountains and mountains for a while.
Soon it was completely dark, and the mountain roads were difficult to walk at night, not to mention the rugged and slippery mountain roads, and it was easy to encounter jackals, and poisonous snakes lurked in the grass.
Su Chen saw that he couldn't get out of the mountain tonight, so he had to find a cave under the cliff and sleep on the campfire.
I picked up a pile of dry firewood, found a fire fold in the herb basket, ignited the dead leaves under the dry wood, and built a roaring bonfire to rest for the night.
The flickering flames in the campfire reflected on his slightly childish cheeks.
Su Chen thought that he had been bitten by the krait, and although the wound had healed, his expression was still somewhat sad.
He had learned medicine from Pharmacist Li Kui, and he knew the domineering poison of the King of the Golden Snake, so he naturally knew what it meant to be bitten by the Golden Snake.
Even if the bitten person is lucky enough not to be poisoned on the spot, the residual venom will continue to erode the muscles and nerves, causing disabilities of varying severity.
This has a precedent in the Medicine King Gang.
A few years ago, there was a senior brother from the Alchemy Hall who was collecting medicine in the mountains, and was bitten by a krait, and was urgently sent back to the mountain villa by several senior brothers who were traveling with him, and was paralyzed in bed for half a year, almost becoming a waste.
Later, although the senior brother was cured, he also became a limp cripple, inconvenient to walk, and the road to martial arts training was completely cut off, so he could only make a living as a partner in the pharmacy, which was quite desolate.
Su Chen didn't know if he had been poisoned by the snake, how much residual poison was left in his body, and whether there would be sequelae.
He took out a piece of dried biscuit from the medicine basket, drank a few sips of water, ate it, and then buried his head in a clean rock under the cliff and laid a blanket to sleep.
It's just that so many things have happened in the past few days, and his mind is chaotic, tossing and turning, and he can't sleep.
Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong with him.
