Yang Xiaobao exerted force on his feet, trying to steady his feet.
However, the edges of the pool were filled with extremely smooth stones that had been washed away by the current. In addition, the monster in the water was extremely powerful. Yang Xiaobao wanted to hold on but was unable to do so.
"Brother Xiaobao!"
Lin Yingwan, who was standing behind, saw Yang Xiaobao moving little by little into the water and shouted in despair.
"Don't be afraid, I'm fine." Yang Xiaobao said to Lin Yingwan, "Don't come over, stay back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was dragged into the pool.
Lin Yingwan watched Yang Xiaobao disappear into the pool, and was so frightened that she cried.
Yang Xiaobao felt that his body was falling involuntarily.
He was heartbroken, so he simply opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings carefully.
At this time, his heart slowly calmed down.
The water in the pool is so clear that you can see everything inside.
He saw a sharp stone protruding from the wall of the pool. He immediately reached out and grabbed the sharp stone.
Yang Xiaobao's body paused and stopped falling.
He felt a little strange, what kind of monster was under this pool, with such a long tail?
Yang Xiaobao lowered his head and observed it, and surprisingly found that this monster was not far away from him.
Seeing this thing, his head buzzed and his whole body shivered involuntarily.
What wrapped around Yang Xiaobao's body was not the monster's tail, but one of its tentacles.
This monster looks like a toad, but its body is as big as a cow and its whole body is covered with scales.
Its two eyes are like two gems, shining in the water.
Looking at this monster, Yang Xiaobao felt that his mouth was bitter and his whole body seemed to be crawled by ants.
But he calmed down quickly.
Since the mountain god injected energy into his body, he is no longer surprised to see these unimaginable things.
What else is impossible in this world?
Yang Xiaobao grabbed the sharp stone tightly and used all his strength to prevent himself from being dragged down by the monster.
Helplessly, the opponent's tentacles wrapped around him very tightly, and they were very powerful.
After a while, Yang Xiaobao felt that the stone began to loosen.
He felt nervous and secretly thought something was wrong.
But now he had no choice but to watch the stone being slowly pulled out by the monster.
This shows how terrifying this monster's power is.
The moment the stone was pulled out, Yang Xiaobao's body began to fall again.
Yang Xiaobao was so anxious that he did not throw away the stone in his hand.
Instead, he used the sharp end of the stone to stab the monster's tentacles hard.
The power will be weakened a lot in the water, but Yang Xiaobao focused all his energy on the stone.
The sharp end of the stone stabbed into the monster's tentacles very accurately.
"Gu...gu..."
Yang Xiaobao heard a series of strange cries. The monster spit out a lot of foam and its body shook uncontrollably.
Yang Xiaobao knew that this hurt the other party.
He felt happy, and quickly raised the stone in his hand, aimed it at the monster's tentacles, and stabbed it again.
This time, just like last time, it directly hit the monster's tentacles.
The monster's struggle this time was even more violent than before.
And to Yang Xiaobao's surprise, the monster loosened its tentacles wrapping around him.
Yang Xiaobao felt his body relax.
Without hesitation, he kicked off his legs and swam up quickly.
But the monster seemed unwilling to let Yang Xiaobao go.
Before Yang Xiaobao emerged from the water, another of its tentacles entangled Yang Xiaobao again.
Then he pulled Yang Xiaobao into the water.
This time the monster no longer just lurked under the water, but began to swim, opening its mouth and biting Yang Xiaobao.
If Yang Xiaobao were bitten by it, it would be enough to bite off his head.
Yang Xiaobao's whole body tensed up, he clenched the stone in his hand, aimed it at the monster's mouth with sharp teeth, and smashed it down hard.
"Ouch..."
The monster shook its head in pain, and a stream of green liquid emerged from its mouth, dyeing the surrounding water green.
Perhaps because of the pain, the monster loosened its tentacles that were tightly wrapped around Yang Xiaobao's body.
Yang Xiaobao did not hesitate this time, and used his hands and feet to row toward the water.
In just a few seconds, Yang Xiaobao emerged from the water with a crashing sound.
Lin Yingwan, who was standing on the shore at a loss and crying, suddenly saw Yang Xiaobao emerging from the water and jumped up excitedly.
"Brother Xiaobao, you...you are not dead!"
Yang Xiaobao grinned and nodded: "It seems that I am not so easy to die."
As he said this, he lowered his head to look, found one of the monster's tentacles, and chased after it again.
Yang Xiaobao was so frightened that he quickly swam to the edge of the river, grabbed a gap in a stone, and jumped to the shore.
He looked back and saw that the monster's tentacles had retracted again.
Only then did Yang Xiaobao let out a long breath.
"Brother Xiaobao, are you okay?"
Lin Yingwan came close to Yang Xiaobao and laughed through tears.
"I'm fine."
"I thought you..."
Lin Yingwan looked at Yang Xiaobao strangely and asked, "Brother Xiaobao, how could you hold your breath after being in the water for so long?"
Yang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, and he only realized this.
In the water, he didn't seem to need to breathe at all.
If he were an ordinary person, he would be unable to hold it in for such a long time.
Then there can only be one explanation, which is that the energy input by the mountain god allows him to stay in the water for a long time.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise in the distance.
The noise was getting closer and closer.
"Is someone coming up?" Yang Xiaobao asked strangely.
Lin Yingwan nodded: "Looking at you being pulled into the water, I didn't know what to do, so I could only call for help."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw villagers Liu Wenzhu and Wang Tieshu from Shitou Village walking towards this side quickly, carrying shovels and hoes.
They were all stunned when they saw Yang Xiaobao standing on the shore dripping wet.
"Xiaobao, are you okay?" Wang Tieshu asked.
Yang Xiaobao smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm okay."
"What pulled you in?"
"What did you see?."
Yang Xiaobao didn't know how to explain it to these villagers.
Could it be that there is a monster down there?
If you tell me, they probably won't believe it.
"I don't know. I didn't see clearly. I just felt something pulling me down."
Hearing Yang Xiaobao's explanation, the villagers looked at each other.
"Isn't it a water ghost?"
"It's possible. This kind of place is very strange."
"We can't let our children come to this kind of place again."
Yang Xiaobao smiled and said to the villagers: "Okay, okay, I have nothing to do, everyone can go back."
Seeing that nothing happened to Xiaobao, everyone left the scene one after another.
After the villagers left, Lin Yingwan looked at Yang Xiaobao who was still not leaving, and asked curiously: "Brother Xiaobao, shall we leave too?"
