Chapter 570 He Must Live
The Water Monster initially didn’t know Jiang Xue’s plan, but when it felt movement in its belly, it immediately understood and got furious.
So, it suddenly retreated, moving five or six meters back at once. This move directly exposed Jiang Xue, who had been hiding beneath its belly.
Jiang Xue had not expected the Water Monster to discover her intention so quickly, and her face instantly turned grim.
"Damn creature, how can it be so smart," Jiang Xue cursed under her breath. Little Fox, hearing this, said, "Woman, I warned you earlier that this monster is not easy to deal with. How about now, do you understand?"
Jiang Xue did not respond, instead staring at the Water Monster that was once again facing her, her expression becoming more determined. Originally, she had planned to employ a clever tactic and attack from its belly. Now it seemed she would have to confront it head-on.
"Little Fox, tell Qian Cheng that the Water Monster is too smart; it discovered my plan, and now we’ll have to fight on our own."
"Also, tell him he must stay alive. He should wait for me until I kill the Water Monster and rescue him."
After instructing Little Fox, Jiang Xue didn’t even say goodbye but immediately harnessed her internal energy and charged towards the Water Monster.
The Water Monster, seeing Jiang Xue make her move, snorted coldly, then raised its claws—no, it should be called its feet—to counterattack.
The Water Monster had four feet, but it only used one left foot to deal with Jiang Xue. No matter how Jiang Xue attacked or from which direction she struck, it blocked her with just one foot, either left, right, or in any other direction.
Jiang Xue attacked for a while but failed to injure the Water Monster in the slightest, and she began to feel frustrated, thinking that she’d exhaust herself at this pace.
Meanwhile, inside the Water Monster’s belly, Chi Cheng, upon learning that Jiang Xue had been discovered underneath the monster, didn’t say much. He was deeply worried about her, yet unable to see or speak to her.
After considering for a moment, he decided to locate the spot where he had first injured the Water Monster. Only that spot was the weakest part of the monster’s belly.
Thinking this, Chi Cheng didn’t act immediately but instead sat quietly and recalled how he felt when he first entered the Water Monster’s belly.
After pondering for a while, Chi Cheng roughly determined the direction and began slowly moving toward it. Fortunately, at this moment, as the Water Monster fought with Jiang Xue, it moved only one foot, or Chi Cheng would have had a hard time moving around inside its belly.
Very soon, Chi Cheng reached the spot, then raised his military knife and fiercely stabbed it into the Water Monster’s belly. With this powerful thrust, the monster’s belly contracted and it was in agony.
The pain in its belly made the Water Monster immediately lose its composure. It kicked its two front feet toward Jiang Xue, then retreated another dozen meters before stopping.
Once it came to a halt, it began to wriggle its intestines vigorously. It intended to digest the human inside its belly, to prevent any further disturbance.
As the Water Monster’s intestines wriggled, Chi Cheng felt a lot of liquid coming toward him. Smelling the liquid’s foul aroma, Chi Cheng realized the danger and immediately stopped stabbing the monster’s belly to seek a hiding place instead.
He must not let the Water Monster digest him; he had to survive and escape.
"Little Fox, what’s wrong with the Water Monster?" Jiang Xue was engaged in combat with the Water Monster when it suddenly retreated, taking her by surprise.
"Woman, I guess your man has made his move," Little Fox replied, then glanced at the Water Monster’s belly. Upon seeing the situation within, Little Fox became utterly stunned.
