I stood up frantically and turned to the front of it. What kind of water monster was it? Where did this monster come from? It was just a slightly larger crocodile.
Living underwater all year round, without seeing any sunlight, the pigments on its body have degraded and disappeared, resulting in a pale color.
It lay there, motionless, and blood continued to drip out from the wounds on its body, soaking into a puddle on the ground.
Its eyes gradually lost focus and looked at me without focus. There were dark circles of yellowish brown in the pupils, and there was a disgusting smell inside.
This ruthless guy let two beautiful gentle beauties be eaten alive in the dark, cold water.
I glanced at it, and its pupils moved slightly, but they were not looking at me.
It's used to the darkness here. Maybe it's not used to the sudden dazzling light. Now it can't see anything.
But I can no longer accommodate its time, the signs of freshness are quickly passing away from its body
If you want to take revenge, you have to take advantage of the enemy while he is still alive. I smiled ferociously, put the sword on its neck, and used my hand to push back bit by bit.
The white thick skin suddenly cracked, and the tender red muscles inside seemed to have been stretched for a long time, and suddenly came out from the inside. The yellow fat was in groups, like clouds on the horizon at dusk.
There isn't much blood anymore, it's almost gone, but it still flows along my sword blade.
It twitched, its forelimbs spasmed, and I felt a sense of pleasure, "Xiaoyue, Jiang Wanqing, I have avenged you!"
He raised the sharp sword in his hand, wiped the blood on it with his left hand, and put it on the tip of his tongue. This was regarded as the blood of his enemy, so he let it be used as a sacrifice for his two wives.
With the second sword, the blade was deep in the middle of its neck. Its neck bones only resisted for a moment before it was broken. Then with the third sword, its head fell off.
With tears in my eyes, I walked up to it, grabbed the "wings" on its head, took it off with a strong force, and reached out to pick off the slender and messy water plants wrapped around it.
This is the treasure bow I lost and found. It was once in Jiang Wanqing's hand
On the back of the bow is a striking sword mark made by me with my sword. This sword was made by me in the dark, and because of my eagerness, I couldn't see clearly.
I confirmed my previous judgment. Jiang Wanqing and Xiaoyue arrived here.
Maybe as I look for them in the eyes of the water, they are here in pain, struggling between the crocodile's jaws
I'm calling them there, can you hear me?
Did they hear me when I called them from a place not far away from them?
There was such a tragic scene here, but it only took a while. When I arrived here, everything returned to calm, the blood stains were washed away by the river without a trace, and their bows remained here.
Before I could untie the marks, I grabbed one of its forelimbs and turned it over with force. This time, it was facing up.
If you want to see a person alive, if you want to see a corpse if you die, I won’t be willing to die without cutting it open to see what happens.
The scales on its abdomen are different from those on its back. In the middle is a row of fish shells arranged horizontally, each one is as wide as the palm of your hand, and one side is deeply embedded in the flesh.
I inserted the tip of the Soul Bearing Sword into it, twisted my wrist, and a piece of fish shell fell off.
I don’t know how long it has lived here. It is the overlord here. No wonder the parrots stopped chasing us when they saw us running here. Maybe there is some tacit understanding between them and the crocodiles.
When Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing were bathing in the river, the parrot tilting his head and looking at us on the top of the tree was probably thinking about how to go back to report the news, and then they would come together to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against us.
I cut open its stomach, intestines, lungs, and liver. I found its stomach, and spread it out one by one.
The smell of blood filled my surroundings, and I didn't even frown. I put the blood on my hands in my mouth and sucked it clean from time to time. It tasted so good.
It smelled like rhino horn medicinal soup, and my tears flowed down silently again
Just a few days ago, Jiang Wanqing was boiling medicine for me to detoxify.
But when I disassembled all its parts, I didn't see anything except some small fish and shrimps. Like Xiaoyue, there wasn't even a fingernail on Jiang Wanqing's body.
Hope emerged again. In fact, I just saw the bow around its neck, so I naturally thought that Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing must have encountered something unexpected.
Because the bow has always been in Jiang Wanqing's hand
But I saw no trace of their murder. I stopped crying and took one last look at the results of my work. I was convinced that they must not be here, they must still be alive.
I was exhausted from this painful and busy work, but I burped, raised my eyes and looked around, and the underground river finally saw the light of day.
The death of the crocodile is partly due to me, but more importantly, I am also grateful to the tree roots hanging from the roof of the cave.
It can't see anything, and what it can see is almost limited. When I stretched out a tree root and touched a crocodile, it must have thought it was me, so it bit it and rolled around.
I remembered that its tactics were like this. This was its trump card, trying to tear the enemy's torso from its body in one fell swoop.
I've heard of crocodiles being suffocated to death by being entangled in canes. If they can't be pulled free, they will simply roll over again until the canes have entangled themselves layer by layer.
I also found that the crocodile's back was injured by a blunt object, and the armor on its back was broken.
When it was struggling to pull the roots of the tree - the roots were too strong, and the big tree growing outside the top of the cave was unable to bear the strength, and it tore it down
Maybe that's when a big rock hit it on the back
At that time, it was holding me tightly under the water. If I didn't have this opportunity, maybe I would have passed away long ago.
Under the severe pain, it finally tore off the roots of the tree and threw me along with it onto the river bank. The light-transmitting place was not far from me, where I could see a damaged hillside with exposed roots and many mature trees growing there.
pieces of trees
They use this method to put their roots into the water of the underground river as much as possible to maintain life.
From here, if I cling to one of the tree roots, I can probably climb out of the underground river, but I can't. I have to find Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing.
Throw it there and walk towards the darkness. The dark river is where a gravel-covered riverbank appears, flowing straight into the darkness.
Not far away, I saw a shoe on the river beach. I recognized it as Jiang Wanqing's girl. One shoe was left outside. This one is here, which means that they at least walked here.
I shouted again, "Xiaoyue - Jiang Wanqing - are you there -" At least my heart was no longer so empty and helpless.
A burst of footsteps came from the darkness. It sounded like there were more than a dozen people standing there, but Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing were not among them.
The coming person is unknown, the danger is unknown, and I have just gone through a hard struggle. Now I have only one choice, wait and see what happens, and make plans for the future.
Anyway, I'm soaked by the Supervision Bureau, so I might as well hide in the water for a while.
The light here allows me to peek into the water and show my head without worrying about being seen by them.
Soon, from the darkness, where the river flows, a dozen men with hands ran over. They shouted loudly and came this way. There were so many people that they didn't care about anything.
I saw them, they were the Dutch
Why are they here? It seemed like they were seeing something here for the first time. When they saw the disfigured, bloody white crocodile, they screamed again.
It’s really a narrow road for enemies. I didn’t expect that there might be traces of them here. The Dutch we saw at Ma Liu’s house were only part of them. I didn’t expect that they would appear here. The impression they gave me at Ma Liu’s house
Is the shipbuilder going crazy trying to rush over and join the people here? That's not possible.
After a while, a dog barked from the hole in the cave above his head, regardless of it, as if he was frightened by something.
After a while, figures appeared on the edge of the hole on the top of the mountain, and they kept asking and answering questions with the dozen or so people below.
But I couldn't hear clearly. There was only one way to go here. I couldn't help but worry about the safety of Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing.
I don’t know if they met these people or what their situation was like.
Judging from the current situation, at least I can think that it is possible to get out of the underground river. Now I feel relieved.
Two people clung to the roots of the tree next to the cave and climbed down bit by bit. As they climbed the path, a burst of rustling gravel fell into the water, and then, with a crash, people and earth were thrown into the water.
After falling into the river, it took him a long time to struggle to get up from the water. One man's forehead was bleeding, and he cursed loudly, causing a group of people to laugh.
This also confirmed that it was unrealistic for me to climb out from there. Maybe it would collapse again at some point.
Later, they gathered together and said a few words in a strange tone. After seeing that they didn't find anything new, they walked back.
The dog on the roof of the cave didn't stop barking for a moment. It seemed to have discovered something, but it was pulled away by its owner.
I waited for a while, then climbed up from the water. Once on the bank, the river water dripped from my body to the bank. I pulled it up and twisted it casually, and walked bit by bit deeper into the underground river.
A strong worry filled my chest, that is, the safety of Xiaoyue and Jiang Wanqing. They need me here even more now. I can't shout loudly anymore. I'm afraid that if I alert those people, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
The following part of the Dark River is unremarkable. Everything is like this. When you don't understand it, you will feel scared and ignorant. But once you see it clearly, that's what it is.
Of course, the women who are close to you are an exception. The more you understand them, the more you will love them, because they are one part of life. They are a part of you, your left hand and your right hand.
