Chapter 168 Escape from the Dead
Legend has it that "water ghost" is a magical creature, also known as "water monkey".It is a person who commits suicide by drowning or accidentally falls into the water, and is transformed by grievances.It usually appears in secluded lakes or mountain ponds, and is designed to lure or force people into the water when they approach the waters.Once it enters the water, its strength will be several times stronger than that of humans, and it will drag people to the bottom of the water. After people drown, it will only suck blood or snap off their eyes for food.
It seems that the legends are not all fantasies. I really didn't expect this extremely rare creature not only to be met by us, but also to be stabbed by me.I don't know if Brother Qi Ling hit him, but the pole just stood in the water without moving.
"Did you kill him?" I leaned forward and looked at the water surface and asked.
As soon as the words fell, the pole erected in the water moved again.But this time it moved farther away, as if the water monkeys below had decided to give up attacking us.Brother Qi Ling didn't pursue anymore, but put down his gun, picked up the oar again and started paddling. I could feel his eagerness to leave this water area.
I stood at the back and tried to help, but I couldn’t help, because he only made one oar, and my only useless harpoon was taken away. Let’s paddle with our hands, think about it and don’t add trouble.It would be safer to hold the machete and stare vigilantly behind the raft, but at this moment, the pole standing on the water has disappeared.
"Hey... Hurry up..." I was about to tell Brother Ling, but before I could finish my sentence, the place I was standing on had been dragged into the water by a huge force.In an instant, half of the raft fell into the water, and the whole thing tilted up. I didn't stand still, and I fell into the water with a "bang", and then there was another sound in the water, and Brother Qiling also jumped down.
The cool lake water soaked through my whole body in an instant, and before I could shudder, I felt a huge pain in my left arm. A sharp claw had already penetrated my sleeve, deeply embedded in the flesh, causing me so much pain. shivering.
Because the water was turbid, I couldn't open my eyes, and the machete in my hand didn't work.He just waved it around a few times, and then flew out of his hand. This is really a leaky house, and even in the night rain, he even lost the only weapon on his body.
The strength of the water monkey in the water is really great, I was only grabbed by one hand, and I was unable to break free.No matter how hard I struggled, I just couldn't get rid of it. After a while, I was dragged a long way.If he hadn't been struggling to hold his breath, he might have been drowned.
At the same time, Brother Qi Ling failed to find me in time after he entered the water. I don't know what happened to him?Although I was worried about him, I was more than capable.Where does the water monkey want to drag me?At this time, the visibility of the water is getting higher and higher, but the water temperature is getting lower and lower.
Not long after, I even swam into a narrow cave, and then went all the way in, almost knocking me to death.Although I used the breathing method taught by brother Ling, I tried my best to hold my breath.Also because the time is too long, I am afraid that I have reached the limit at this moment, I feel that my lungs are about to explode, and I urgently need to float up to take a breath.
After being dragged to an open place again, I felt that the buoyancy here was a little stronger, so I managed to open my eyes, spotted the long hair on the water monkey, and grabbed it off.As soon as he felt the pain, he stopped, turned around and attacked me with the other paw.
I hurriedly stepped aside, I was nervous, but unfortunately I was discouraged, and then I choked on my saliva.He scratched desperately with his hands, but he couldn't catch any support.At this time, due to lack of oxygen, the brain has already become blank, and what's worse, the limbs also become weak.I opened my eyes, and saw the water monkey's paws stretched straight towards my eyes. . . . . .
At this moment, a machete pushed the claws back a little, and then the black shadow suddenly blocked in front of me.After the strength in my hand disappeared, I began to sink because of the loss of strength, and then lost consciousness. . . . . .
"Zilin...Zilin" a familiar voice called me softly, and the cold lips blew some air into my mouth.
I seemed to roam around on the clouds, and then fell back to the ground, but it was only a moment.When Youyou woke up, I was already leaning on Brother Qiling's arms, my lips were trembling, but I couldn't speak.
"It's okay, don't talk." He hugged me tightly without saying a word, like a rare treasure that was finally recovered.The strength of my limbs was still not fully recovered, so I had to let him alone, and reluctantly raised my hand to pat him on the back to show my response.
It was only after this beat that he realized that the clothes on his back had been torn, and blood was still oozing from several bloody cuts.
"You're hurt." I pushed him away with difficulty and asked.
"Well, a little injury." He replied to me lightly, and rubbed me into his arms again.
"Let me take a look." After finding out that he was injured, I lost all intention of being gentle with him and insisted on turning him around.
Seeing that I persisted, he had no choice but to sit obediently in front of me.I pulled away the broken clothes and couldn't help taking a breath. There were a few blood paw prints from top to bottom. Due to soaking in water, the wound was swollen and grayish white. I don't know how much blood was lost?
I felt sad for a while, and hurriedly fumbled for the emergency medicine kit from his bag, found the hemostatic medicine, and carefully applied it for him.In fact, when I was doing this, I also felt a sharp pain in my left elbow, but I couldn't care about it now.
After the dressing was finished, I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground again. Then I opened my sleeve and found that it was also bloody.
"The lethality of this water ghost is really not ordinary, it turned us all into wounded soldiers in a blink of an eye." I saw that Brother Ling was very distressed when he saw my wound, so I casually teased him to reassure him .
He glanced up at me, then lowered his head to carefully treat my wound.As soon as the disinfectant was poured, I gasped for hopeless pain.To be honest, I am actually very afraid of pain, so I really can't do it like them, and I can handle the wound without saying a word.
"If you feel pain, just call out." He said, ready to pour the hemostatic medicine for me, and lowered his head and blew gently.
"Hey, it's actually okay! Ah!... That's still a little bit!" I wanted to pretend that it didn't hurt to make him feel more at ease. Who knew that he would be beaten in the next second.
He sighed slightly, then took out the gauze and slowly bandaged me.And I took this opportunity to look around, and found that it seemed to be a cave, and we entered from the pool under our feet.
"What about the water ghost?" I asked curiously.
"It's already dead." Brother Qiling answered, picked up the flashlight and cast the light not far away, and there was indeed a corpse of a water monkey lying on the ground.
I still had lingering fears about it, so I quickly looked away and asked Brother Ling: "Is there another one in the water at that time, and it has been entangled with you for a long time?"
Brother Qiling didn't answer. After bandaging me, he sat back beside me, supported my shoulder and said, "Yes, I was negligent and almost hurt you."
Seeing that he felt guilty again, I hurriedly comforted him and said: "We are all fighting in a team, and others are not happy. Besides, you saved me this time, so how can you count it as harming me!"
"..." After hearing what I said, Brother Qiling was silent for a while, and then there was no more to say.
I don't know if I have comforted him, but I continued to tear it down, and said: "I owe you so much life, and I don't know when I can finish answering the favor?"
"..." After a long time, he replied, "I seem to remember who promised to cook for me for a lifetime?"
"What! Didn't say it's good for a lifetime! I don't want to cook occasionally when I'm in a bad mood." In order to avoid future disputes, I decided to clarify the conditions in time.
"Oh? Then why are you in a bad mood? Let me see if I can try to avoid this from happening."
"There are many reasons for a girl to be in a bad mood, such as seeing something unpleasant, not knowing what clothes to wear today, or gaining weight, or having acne on her face..." Said a lot of things that may affect the mood.
"..."
As a result, Ling Ge was silent for a longer period of time, and after a long time, he said quietly: "Actually, it's okay if I don't eat for three or two days, but you?"
"Hey, this man." I was moved for a moment. It seemed that even if I lost my temper and went on strike, his first consideration was whether I would starve to death.
"Don't worry! You are so kind to me, how can I be willing to starve you!" After that, I wanted to cover his face and tease him, but because one hand was injured and I couldn't lift it up, I had to give up.
In order not to disturb his rest, I picked up the hand power station and got up, and began to study the stalactites in the cave.Stalactites are formed in caves in carbonate rock areas through a long period of time and specific geological conditions. There are also different shapes such as stalagmites and stone pillars.
"It seems that this hole has existed for a long time." I couldn't help sighing when I saw the uncanny workmanship of nature.
At this time, Brother Qi Ling also got up, pointed to a hole in front of him and said, "Go in and have a look!"
At present, there is no other way out except for the water pool when I came here. I nodded and consciously led the way.After bypassing the stone pillars and entering inside, it was discovered that the inside was blocked by a huge stone wall, and there was no other way out.
"Karst caves are usually made of limestone. Where did such a large granite come from?" I stroked the stone wall and expressed my doubts.
Brother Qi Ling also seemed to feel that this stone was very abrupt, so he took a few steps back, scanned the surrounding area, and said with some surprise: "This is not a stone wall, but a broken dragon stone."
