Chapter 61 The Monster in the River

Yuanxiao grabbed me and asked me where I was going. I didn't say anything and signaled him to come with me. So Yuanxiao and Wenmo also called in flashlights and followed.

Turning over the pile of stones and looking at the ground, we found that a burning fire embers were placed there. Yuanxiao was stunned, "Someone once stayed here."

Wen Mo reached out to touch the pile of ashes, "It's already cold. This person should have been away for a while."

Yuanxiao frowned, "As far as I know, the only person who arrived earlier than us is Uncle Kong. Is this a trace left by Uncle Kong?"

The flashlight flashed, and I found that there was a transparent thing in the gap between the stones. I reached out and took it out. It turned out to be a flat wine bottle. I had never heard of this wine brand, but the four obvious words on the wine bottle: exclusively provided by the army, but it made me feel moved. I seemed to think of something, "It seems that it should be right. This fire is probably left by Uncle Kong. We can let Kong Xue identify it."

I took the bottle and returned to the place just now, and shouted softly through the partition: "Kong Xue, Kong Xue!"

Kong Xue opened a gap in her clothes, "What's wrong, what's wrong?"

I handed the bottle in my hand over, "Look, do you recognize this?" Kong Xue's hand trembled when she took the bottle, her face suddenly changed, and she sat up straight. At the same time, she also raised the partition, and accidentally leaked her white neck and a touch of soft breasts.

Wen Mo turned around suddenly, Yuanxiao was stunned for a moment and his eyes were straightened. I also quickly turned my head and coughed dryly.

Kong Xue then noticed her loss of composure and hurriedly shrank back, feeling a little embarrassed, "Where did you find this?"

I pointed not far away, "It's right behind the pile of stones. Kong Xue, take a closer look. Is this Uncle Kong's thing?"

"That's right!" Kong Xue immediately returned, "This is my father's thing. My father likes this kind of wine the most. He said that only drinking this kind of wine can help me when I was a soldier. If I can't buy it on the market, he would go to his old comrades to help me."

I nodded, "If you say this, Uncle Kong has indeed been here before, which means that our guesses and reasoning are correct, and our current route is correct."

"That's all. As long as you walk along this road, you will definitely find Uncle Kong. Don't worry, Kong Xue!"

When Kong Xue heard the words of Lantern Festival, he nodded slightly. In fact, we also understand Kong Xue's mood. As long as you don't really see Uncle Kong, Kong Xue will not be relaxed. After all, Uncle Kong is his only relative.

Yuanxiao was talking while constantly cutting a piece of wood with a knife.

I was a little curious, so I asked, "Lanxiao, what are you doing?"

Yuanxiao smiled, "When I was fetching water just now, I found fish in the water. I cut a fish hook with wood to try to catch fish. If it succeeds, I will grill fish for you later!"

I sighed, "It's a pity that you don't become a chef at Lantern Festival! Your coming to the tomb robbery is a loss in the chef world. When you die, I will definitely customize a lunch box-style coffin with you!"

"Bah!" said Yuanxiao, "My buddy must live longer than you. You should think about what kind of coffin you want!"

While talking, Yuanxiao tied a rope to the fish hook, hung some bread, and threw the wooden fish hook into the water.

Unexpectedly, this kid is not bragging. Maybe it’s really because of the good fishing skills of Lantern Festival. Maybe the fish in the river have never eaten bread, but in short, they just rush to bite the hook. It’s also a bit of a sudden that the hook made by Lantern Festival is very unsatisfactory, and often escapes. But despite this, two fish nearly one foot long were caught. Unfortunately, I don’t know what kind of fish this is, but one of their very prominent features is that this fish has no eyes at all. I guess it’s because this fish lives in the underground river for many years without light, so the eyes degenerate. In short, this eyeless fish makes people look a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, after being roasted, I can’t tell whether there is any eyes or not. I can feast without seeing it.

This fish meat is delicious and melts in the mouth, which is really endless aftertaste. I couldn't help but give a thumbs up at Lantern Festival. Seeing that we were eating very delicious, Lantern Festival was also very proud. He picked up the fish hook again, "Come on, I'm fishing for you a big guy." As he said that, he tore off a piece of ham sausage and hung it on the fish hook, "This time, I'll put some book on it and use meat bait. This is called reluctant to let the child trap and not look for a wolf." Then he threw the fish hook far into the water.

As a result, this time, after a long time, there was no movement. Yuanxiao couldn't hold back, "Hey! You said that the fish in this river are not all vegetarians!" Before Yuanxiao finished speaking, the thread in her hand suddenly stretched straight, and then a huge force spread from the fish hook. Yuanxiao grabbed the line tightly and almost lost his hand.

"This fish is definitely not small!" Yuanxiao shouted while tug of war with the things in the water.

At this time, violent splashes had already been rolling on the water surface. I vaguely heard some metal impacts besides the sound of water. Is this? Could it be that there is an iron guy below?

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Wen Mo suddenly stood up: "No! Hurry up! Let go!"

"Let go? Why? This was something I caught with with great effort." Yuanxiao reluctantly let this big guy go.

At the same time, I was also very uneasy, so I also said to Yuanxiao: "Lanxiao let go, this thing is not normal."

Even Kong Xue next to her was alarmed. She put on her clothes and limped over, looking at her with a nervous look.

Yuanxiao waved his hand, "How could it be, it's just a big fish? Could it still climb ashore to bite me? Don't be so nervous."

The struggle lasted for more than ten minutes, and finally, with a bang, a piece of iron chain was thrown high from the water and then fell into the water.

I was stunned for a moment, this is a fish with an iron chain? My mind flashed, and I instantly remembered the sarcophagus in the cave on the cliff, the iron chains connected under it, and the huge impact force that made people feel thrilling.

At the same time, the rope connecting the fish hook in Yuanxiao's hand also loosened, and the river water in front of him became calm, and then it was silent like death. In the next ten seconds, everyone was staring at the river nervously, and I could clearly hear my heartbeat.

I dragged my somewhat stiff legs and slowly retreated. At the same time, I waved to the Lantern Festival and the others, and involuntarily lowered my voice, "Be careful, what's in the river..."

Before I could finish my words, I heard a loud bang on the river surface, and a huge black shadow jumped high from the river. Yuanxiao cursed, threw away the rope in his hand, and fled backwards with both hands and feet.

Each of us began to retreat, almost retreating below the cliff. We had no time to adjust the lighting. Under the faint light, the huge black shadow fell back to the water, and the huge splashed waves poured on everyone like rain.

We panicked and picked up the flashlight and weapons, "What is that?" I kept illuminating the water.

"I don't know, I didn't see clearly at all. I just knew it was very big. Are there sharks in this river? It's so weird!" Yuanxiao said and opened the security of the gun.

"This should be the guy under the sarcophagus!" Wen Mo whispered.

"Which thing is it?" Yuanxiao recalled carefully, and his face changed, "So did it break free from those chains?"

I nodded, "It is very likely that those chains are soaked in water all year round, and they are almost rusted even if they are rusted."

"Then let's stop talking nonsense, hurry up and retreat, and you're still waiting here to see rare animals!" Yuanxiao said and turned around, intending to stay away from this place along the river beach, but he was stunned as soon as he turned around and shouted in a hurry: "Damn! Why is there no way out!!"

We also quickly turned our heads and felt a chill in our hearts. We found that what was supposed to be a river beach has now been flooded with water, and the originally gentle river water has become much more turbulent at this time.

It was really rainy and rainy! We had to stand on this isolated island-like riverbank and reef, closely guarding against the movements on the river surface.

This was another tense and suffocating calm. The breathing of the four people sounded particularly noisy in the current environment. Suddenly, the water splashes on the river surface churned. Wen Mo said in a deep voice: "Be careful! Come on!"

There was another loud bang, and the huge black shadow jumped high from the water again. I thought to myself, is this a mutated big dolphin? Why do you like to jump around so much?

However, this time, the huge black shadow did not fall into the water, but fell heavily on the bank of the river. The impact of the black shadow hit the ground made the short knife I held almost lose my hand, and Kong Xue staggered and fell to the ground.

We raised the flashlight to shine at the black shadow, and now we finally saw its true face. It was this photo that made all of us stunned. I felt that my heartbeat stopped.

Judging from the appearance, it should be a huge fish with scales and dorsal fins. Unlike other fish, there are four things on its abdomen that look like fins and flesh claws. However, the most shocking and weirdest thing is that the giant fish actually has a human face.

Yuanxiao stammered: "I...Damn! This...What's this tm!"

I felt a cold sweat popping up on my forehead, "How do I know!" To be honest, it was really uncomfortable to be stared at by such a huge face.

I turned to look at Wenmo, hoping that he could have an answer, but he just stared at the human-faced fish.

Perhaps it was stimulated by the strong light in our hands that the human-faced fish actually opened its huge mouth and roared, and the bloody mouth covered with fangs made us feel scared. What made us even more shocked was that the human-faced fish actually crawled towards us in a swaying manner.
