Chapter 23: Water Monsters and Caves
This discovery excites me, which means that Xiao Chengqian's life and I have been guaranteed!
I didn't notice any of this until the flashlight shone unintentionally, and I saw that there were many large and small holes on the rock wall in front of us, and I was afraid that there were more than a dozen.
Originally, the existence of these holes was not very peculiar, and it was too normal for the rock walls to be soaked underwater all year round or for various reasons, and there were pits similar to holes on them.
But the caves under my flashlight were different, I could see at a glance that they were real caves, and I couldn't explain anything to Xiao Chengqian underwater, so I could only pull Xiao Chengqian towards a cave with a small entrance.
Xiao Chengqian didn't understand what I was going to do at first, but when he shone it with a flashlight, he was suddenly excited, and he didn't need me to pull him, he himself began to row desperately towards the cave.
Xiao Chengqian and I saw hope, but the sound of the water behind us was getting louder and louder, and Xiao Chengqian's situation at the moment was like the name of a foreign movie - the speed of life and death, life and death were on the line, and the competition was only time.
The entrance of the cave is getting closer and closer, but we also feel the inexplicable pressure behind us, we don't dare to look back at all, even the huge pressure behind us makes us feel that the monster is close at hand!
With a 'bang', I almost made a jumping pose in the water, and jumped into the cave I fancied, which was only one person high, and in my estimation, the monster would never be able to enter this cave.
After entering the cave, the sense of security returned to my body, it was a feeling of lazy relaxation, but how dare I relax easily, this second, I entered the cave, but Xiao Chengqian has not yet entered.
I turned on my flashlight and looked back, and I saw a scene that I will never forget for the rest of my life.
The first thing that caught my eye was Xiao Chengqian, who was desperately rowing towards the cave, and less than 5 meters behind him, a huge face appeared, and at this distance, I finally saw two cold eyes, but a whole face!
It was a gray-brown face, unusually huge, if you had to describe it, that face was bigger than Xiao Chengqian's whole person, and Xiao Chengqian was also a man over 1.8 meters!
I can't describe what that face looks like, but I can barely say that the whole head shape is a little like a turtle, but it is flatter than a turtle and looks a little slippery.
In comparison, the eyes are not particularly large, and the part of the lips is not like a turtle, but more like a fish mouth, with long whiskers on both sides of the mouth!
Because this guy is so huge, that's all I can see, but the source of my fear is not its big face, but its mouth growing at the moment, and it wants to bite Xiao Chengqian hard.
I don't know what kind of existence this turtle fish, or fish turtle is, but in my impression, except for a few fish, most of them, whether they are turtles or fish, can't have a mouthful of white teeth in their mouths, but this guy has teeth, and unlike the sharp fangs of sharks, this guy's teeth, the upper and lower four fangs are particularly prominent, especially the lower fangs, I said I look how this guy is a little 'earthy'!
However, now is obviously not the time to think about this, I roared, almost by intuition, and pulled Xiao Chengqian in!
I heard a tooth-aching 'click', and then there was a shock at the entrance of the cave, and the sudden torrent pushed Xiao Chengqian and I several meters into the cave!
Xiao Chengqian looked at me in horror, and I looked at the face that appeared at the entrance of the cave in horror, and the cold eyes without emotion were still staring at me and Xiao Chengqian.
The straight-line distance of the whole cave was only five or six meters, and Xiao Chengqian and I were pushed to the 'bottom of the cave' by the current of water, and there were two crisp sounds of oxygen tanks hitting the rock wall.
Fortunately, there is always a buffer in the water, and coupled with the distance, this collision did not break the oxygen tank behind me and Xiao Chengqian!
Xiao Chengqian and I escaped from the tiger's mouth, and after it was finally safe, we subconsciously began to breathe heavily, and the oxygen in the tank decreased sharply, I realized that this was wrong, and quickly reminded Xiao Chengqian to adjust his breathing.
After all, the whole cave is still soaked in water, and we don't know how long we have to stay underwater, if there is no oxygen, we will die, unless the kind of power that really reaches the level of an earth immortal, we can stay underwater for a longer time with a posture of concentration.
Xiao Chengqian also realized this problem and began to adjust his breathing with me to minimize oxygen consumption.
It took about a minute for us to calm down from our state of panic and calm down.
At this moment, the monster did not leave, under the reflection of the flashlight, the eyes were so obvious, knowing that our two 'little fish' it had no way to eat, but still refused to leave, do I want to praise it, is it really a good monster with patience?
Or, go out and beat it up? I thought, apparently that after the initial fear, this face could no longer provoke much of a reaction from me!
I held up my flashlight and began to look at the cave, only to realize that Xiao Chengqian and I were not at the bottom of the cave, but because the cave was inclined upwards and the angle was still a little large, so Xiao Chengqian and I would collide.
This discovery made Xiao Chengqian and I a little excited, after all, the way out was blocked by that monster, we still have a way to go, it is the best result, otherwise if it is consumed underwater, as soon as the oxygen is finished, we will have to be finished!
Let's hope it's not a dead end!
I'm a person who just does what I say, with this idea, I was about to start paddling towards the top of the cave, but I was pulled down by Xiao Chengqian!
I looked at Xiao Chengqian in surprise, but he pointed out the cave and kept gesturing to me! I looked out of the cave, and the monster's face was slowly starting to retreat, wasn't it going to hold on?
Could it be that Xiao Chengqian wants to go out? I'm certainly not going to approve of such an adventure, because who knows if the monster is actually gone, or if it's just cruising around waiting for us?
I shook my head at Xiao Chengqian, Xiao Chengqian was very helpless, and then I struggled to give me gestures, I easily understood, Xiao Chengqian said, let's go together to see what this monster looks like!
Xiao Chengqian said this, I also came a little interested, after all, the rumor that there is a water monster in the X pool has been circulating for so many years, and all kinds of people who have witnessed it don't know how many, but always because this guy came without a trace, and left no definite evidence, and science can't come up with any favorable proof, so I can only reluctantly use some scientific speculation to explain that its existence is unreasonable, or it doesn't exist, it's people hallucinating or something, and now Xiao Chengqian and I really see it, don't take a closer look at what this monster looks like, I'm a little sorry for myself.
With this thought, waiting for the monster to move a little farther away, Xiao Chengqian and I began to cautiously approach the entrance of the cave, and supported each other, holding on to some rocks to move forward, otherwise if the monster went crazy and caused the water to push us out of the cave, who would we cry to?
However, at this time, I also sighed that luck is really good enough, after all, the water monster that can only be seen once in a few years, or even more than ten years, was met by me and Xiao Chengqian for the second time, should we go to buy a lottery ticket?
The distance of five or six meters was soon reached, and I stood cautiously at the entrance of the cave, and the monster was really just cruising nearby, and Xiao Chengqian and I finally saw the whole picture of the monster with the help of a flashlight, and then we were stunned on the spot!
It turned out that it was completely different from what we imagined!
In my imagination, this guy should be similar to the existence of a dragon, or it should be a variant of a dinosaur or something, the once famous Lake X monster, didn't someone give an imaginary picture, is it also this shape?
However, this X-pool monster is not a guy who follows the rules at all, it is more like a biological evolved existence!
