Chapter 263 Night Fighting with Water Monster
The night was as cold as water, and Chen Ling appeared quietly at the edge of the reservoir.
It is now one o'clock in the morning. Except for a few dogs barking, there is no one left wandering around in the village.
In the silent night, there were only the chirping of frogs and the chirping of insects, and the little lights in the grass.
That is the fluorescence emitted by fireflies.
Although there is no moon tonight, there is a quiet beauty in this night.
Chen Ling did not turn on the flashlight. His eyesight was sufficient even in the dark night.
Standing on the dam, I looked around, chose a remote place, took off my shoes and went down. Then I came to the shallow water, squatted down and stretched out my hand to "pop" and "pop" on the water. A few beats of rhythm.
Not long after, I heard a crashing sound in the distance, the water surface was violently swayed, and the ripples spread in a huge range.
Looking around, huge old turtles, like mobile fortresses floating silently on the water, slowly swam towards Chen Ling.
The place was remote and the reeds were extremely lush. Chen Ling took out his flashlight and waved it around. He could even see the largest old turtle in the lead stretching out his head and his eyes glowing green.
This scene would be extremely frightening if it were seen by someone who didn’t know the inside story at night.
I’m afraid I really want to think of this thing as a monster in the water.
"Garlic, you guy, if you continue like this, you are really going to become a sperm."
Chen Ling waited for them to swim over, then reached out and patted Garlic's big wet head.
Since he put them in the reservoir before sending Wang Susu back to her parents' home last year, he has not left them unattended. He will come over every once in a while to take a look and feed the garlic some spiritual water.
Otherwise, he would not have known he was coming just by patting the water.
At this time, Garlic narrowed his eyes, enjoyed his touch, and climbed up.
"There's no need to come up. Take me to see what the things in the water are. I've been doing this since last year, and it won't stop this year."
Chen Ling put away the flashlight and stood Standing up, "Do you know where its lair is? If you know, take me there."
Of course Guan Tou knew this, so he turned around and let his back go. Chen Ling smiled when he saw this, and stepped on it with his bare feet. It felt hard and heavy, no different from stepping on a big millstone.
"Zouyou, let's catch the water monster. We have to see the true face of this guy today."
Chen Ling gave the order and Garlic swam into the water and slowly moved towards the deep water area. The big male turtles behind him were still following closely in silence, like loyal guards one by one.
Chen Ling stepped on the turtle's back and looked around. I wasn't satisfied with catching fish in the first half of the night, so now I went directly to the reservoir to find this troublesome water monster and have a fight with it. That would be exciting.
So, on this deserted night, such a scene appeared in the reservoir.
The 'Prince Turtle' who had been worshiped by countless people recently actually carried a man on his back and led a group of turtle generals to kill into the depths of the reservoir.
This guy is lucky to have no one. If someone sees this scene, he might be told some fairy tale.
As for Chen Ling himself, he stood barefoot on the broad carapace of the giant turtle Garlic. The night wind blew in his face, making his hair messy, his clothes tangled, and his whole person looked majestic.
This is because the water is getting deeper and deeper, and the garlic is moving faster and faster, as if the wind has become stronger.
“This guy still has fun playing like this, it’s so exciting.”
"If I had long hair now, put on ancient clothes, well, and picked up a steel fork, that guy would be no different from the Lake God or the River Bodhisattva."
Chen Lingle Dian Dian fantasized about it, and when he got excited, he sat on the back of the turtle and put his hand on the water. The cave suddenly exerted force, and a large amount of lake water was taken in, much more powerful than a water pump.
All of a sudden, the surrounding large areas of water were roaring, whirlpools, waves, and various strange phenomena appeared one after another, as if gods were really stirring up the lake.
"Hey, it's almost funny, otherwise, give it a dragon to suck water and play with it."
Playing freely on the water is naturally the same as playing freely in the mountains. A different experience.
Not to mention swimming in the water with a huge old turtle.
Forget about that feeling.
Chen Ling becomes more and more addicted as he plays.
I am dreaming about one day following the current to the Jinshui River, then swimming in the Yangtze River and cruising in the sea.
But he didn't notice that Garlic's speed was getting slower and slower, the mountain shore was close at hand, and the surrounding waters were extremely silent, there was no sound, it was terrifyingly quiet.
Gradually, the garlic stopped.
Intoxicated in his fantasy, Chen Ling suddenly woke up and heard a thin noise not far away...
"Huh? Is there something wrong?"
Chen Ling trembled and looked over with wide eyes.
At night, in this wilderness, in such an environment, his body will unconsciously become alert.
Just like ordinary people walking at night, they will notice any disturbance.
However, his senses will be several times sharper than ordinary people.
At a glance, he looked in the direction of the slight sound.
This sight shocked him.
I saw a huge black shadow slowly approaching under the water not far away. The sudden sense of oppression suddenly breaks into your sight when you are unprepared. And it's huge.
Chen Ling's heart was so frightened that it stopped for a beat.
I quickly took a few deep breaths and then recovered.
After calming down, I looked over again. It was indeed not an hallucination. It was really a huge unknown creature approaching.
The water flow it brings up is like the sound of wild animals stepping on the fallen leaves in the mountain forest. The rustling sound does not make a particularly loud torrent sound at all.
"Okay, so your old home is here, today I want to see the true face of you old monster."
Chen Ling gritted his teeth and geared up, not wanting to think about whether he had disturbed the turtle after breaking into its territory, nor did he notice that all the old turtles, including Suan Tou, had become manic and vicious.
After the sudden fright, he became fearless again.
I saw him standing on the old turtle's back, taking off his clothes three times.
Then there was a "pop" sound.
He actually jumped into the water naked, turned around and swam towards the huge creature in the water.
With the cave sky in his body, he is not afraid of anything. As long as he touches his body, he can instantly take it into the cave sky.
As long as you enter the cave, shouldn’t you just let him control it?
The original distance of more than ten meters is a distance that can be reached in the blink of an eye for this huge creature.
But Chen Ling jumped into the water.
On the contrary, it was startled and it was stunned underwater for two seconds.
When it is frightened, it is naturally not afraid.
But in its eyes, Chen Ling was like a non-threatening prey, but now he was howling and rushing toward it in a daze.
It’s as funny as someone stupidly charging towards a mountain tiger with a kitchen knife.
Even his simple brain couldn't figure out what was going on, and he was stunned.
“Holy crap, what is this? It’s too huge.”
This unknown creature was a little confused, but Chen Ling was not confused. When he swam towards this strange guy, he finally saw the whole thing.
A conservative estimate is that it is at least six or seven meters long and about the thickness of a bucket. I can’t describe its appearance at the moment. I can only say that it is similar to a fish, but it looks very strange.
It is not as scary as the legendary water monster, it is just a huge strange fish. It's so big, so big.
No wonder you eat ducks one at a time.
But have you ever discovered that this thing can make holes on the shore? You didn’t see any claws or anything?
My mind was spinning. Although Chen Ling had doubts, he didn't have time to think about it anymore. He quickly stretched out his hand to use the cave. With the urgency in his heart, even before he came into contact with this unknown creature, he even started to collect the water around him. .
"Crash-"
In almost four or five seconds, Chen Ling swam to the strange fish and was finally about to touch it. .
The moment he touched its body, Chen Ling felt as if he had touched a piece of cold armor, hard, ancient, and vicissitudes of life...
But at this moment, in this unforgettable moment, the strange fish actually reacted and came to its senses.
It’s not unreasonable to grow so big.
Its natural alertness is not comparable to that of ordinary aquatic creatures.
At this moment, he suddenly turned around and jumped out of the water. He fell into the water again with a "plop". He didn't know how far he jumped. He saw countless water splashing and huge ripples rippling in circles. great.
But when Chen Ling saw it again, it was already five or six meters away.
"Garlic, come on."
"Don't let it run away."
Chen Ling shouted loudly, reminding Garlic.
In fact, Guan Tou had been ambushing nearby, and before Chen Ling could give the order, they had already begun to besiege fiercely.
I saw Garlic leading the big male turtle to form a circle to surround the strange fish. They pounced on it and opened their mouths to bite them.
Blood surged from all parts of the strange fish's body instantly.
But Chen Ling could see that the injuries the old turtle had caused to it in a short period of time were not serious.
He took out a machete and a steel fork from the cave, aimed at the strange fish in the distance, and the steel fork suddenly flew out and stabbed it.
After stabbing him with the steel fork, he also threw the machete at him.
He is very strong, and the target of the strange fish is also large. Even if it is far away, it can stab it steadily.
These two attacks all fell on the strange fish, and a large amount of red blood immediately flowed out.
Just because of the pain, it instantly became manic, swaying its body violently under the water, and the strength was very strong. It felt that it couldn't get rid of the old turtle that would not let go, so it kept jumping out of the water. , and then smashed it into the water.
After repeating this several times, after successfully getting rid of these old turtles, they immediately fled away into the distance.
Strange fish and old turtle.
They are all huge aquatic creatures. They are extremely fast in the water. Even Chen Ling cannot catch up. After being beaten twice from a distance, he can only watch the strange fish escape and swim in the water. He stared blankly.
Garlic is smart. It was disappointed that it failed to defeat its opponent in front of its owner, and wanted to chase him unwillingly.
"Forget it, stop chasing it, come back to Garlic."
Chen Ling called it back and comforted it.
"Just run away. It's not your fault..."
This strange fish was too huge. When he came, he didn't expect such a big thing.
It simply doesn't look like a creature that can exist in fresh water.
Although the old turtles are not small in size, they are also extremely ferocious.
But there is no good way to deal with this strange fish. The only way is to surround and drive it away. In fact, in a real fight, no one can do anything to anyone.
The hard scales on the strange fish are no weaker than those of turtles.
“I know your home is here, let’s fight again next time.”
Chen Ling jumped out of the water naked, stood on Guan Tou's broad back again, looked at the figure that could no longer be seen in the distance, and the blood-red water floating nearby, and whispered.
In fact, he was very unwilling to do so.
Encountering such a mysterious strange fish, I almost wanted to put it in the cave, but in the end, it slipped away before my eyes.
Really, the more I think about it, the more pity I feel.
However, I finally saw the true form of this water monster. Although I didn’t know exactly what kind of creature it was, it was good as long as I saw the true form.
After all, a lot of fear comes from the unknown.
Random imagination can only make you more and more frightened.
Then, after returning to the shore, Chen Ling entered the space, drew a stream of water to wash his body, and then changed into clothes again and came out.
"Garantou, please stay safe here and try not to come out during the day in the future."
Chen Ling ordered and fed Garlican another half a bucket of spiritual water before leaving. go.
He came out after Wang Susu was asleep. In the past half month, his son had stopped making trouble at night, otherwise he would not have had the chance to slip out.
......
After a night of silence, Chen Ling woke up in the morning and felt dazed when he thought of what happened last night, as if he had had a strange dream.
Hey guys, such a big fish is simply unimaginable.
There is a lot of water near Chenwangzhuang, and the reservoir is fed by two large rivers.
Moreover, the reservoir is extremely deep. It is said that the deepest part is a big hole, which is connected to the underground water, so it has not dried up for hundreds of years, and there were not no big fish in the past.
Some people have caught water tigers, big fireheads, giant catfish, etc., which are more than one meter long. Moreover, these fish are extremely ferocious. If they open their mouths, a child's arms can reach it. Swallow it.
But no matter what, these fish are still within the normal range.
But the six to seven meter long strange fish...
Thinking about it, it still feels a little unreal.
Alas, I don’t know where it came from.
Last time it suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of Garlic and the others. It may have been because it rained continuously some time ago and the water in the reservoir rose again, so it appeared in the shallow water area.
Otherwise, such a large body would not be able to survive in shallow water.
Thinking of this, Chen Ling had something he couldn't figure out.
Isn’t this the strange fish in the big hole that scared the little weasels out of their wits last year?
If you think about it carefully, it is really possible.
He had never seen that this strange fish had the characteristics of being amphibious on land and water.
Of course, it may be that he has little knowledge and experience, and has not observed some things properly.
"Next time, I will definitely put it into the cave next time, and then we will study carefully what this thing is."
Chen Ling secretly planned, but the strange fish was affected by I'm afraid I won't come out rashly in the near future.
...
Today, those reporters could not leave because after they went to the reservoir, they did not see Prince Turtle, whom they had longed for, come out. This meant that they could not successfully complete the shooting mission. In desperation, they had to Decided to stay a few more days.
And those people living in the village said they would worship Prince Turtle for seven or nine days in a row to show their piety. When they went to the reservoir, they all felt as if they had lost their souls.
After Zhao Dahai, Shanmao and others rushed over, they rushed over and saw nothing.
