Chapter 997: Vortex Rolling
The salt grains converged and sank ahead, and Huo Chi knew that the whale salamander might be under the center of these whirlpools.
Huo Chi leaned down and carefully lay on the surfboard, he pressed his ear to the cold grains of salt, carefully feeling the movement beneath the salt layer.
The sound of "rustling" salt grinding is similar to that of sand, but it is more crisp. Huo Chi heard the flow of salt grains, and also heard some strange movement.
It was a slight tremor, and it was very regular, about once every two seconds. The tremor was transmitted through the salt grains to Huo Chi's ears, and he suddenly felt that the sound might be the heartbeat of a whale salamander.
It's likely down there, and it looks like it's time to figure it out. Thinking of this, Huo Chi carefully walked back and forth on the surfboard.
"Ahh
"Monsters come out!"
Huo Chi leaned on his surfboard and jumped on the salt lake, shouting loudly, he wanted to use the noise and vibration to get the whale salamander hiding under the salt layer back to the salt lake.
"What is that kid doing?" said the mayor's deputy in the jeep on the shore.
The canine-like sub-man suddenly lowered his binoculars, and he shook his head again and again, "I think there might be something wrong with that kid here." He pointed to his temple and said, "If he does this, he will be devoured by the monster in a moment." ”
"He may have tried to lure out the monsters. The mayor stroked his slender beard and said, "The monster is down there, and he can't fight it." ”
"But when the monster comes up, he is not far from death. "The deputy never believed that with his own strength, this Huaxia man could get rid of the monster.
"I think he might be able to surprise us, after all, he's a wanted target worth 5 million, maybe he'll have some special abilities. The mayor said, "I really hope he can destroy this thing!"
"Why doesn't he want a boat?" asked the deputy, a little puzzled, "Isn't a boat more reliable than that thing to deal with quicksand?"
"Maybe the surfboard is more maneuverable, after all, he's fighting monsters, not crossing a salt lake. The mayor guessed, "It's too inflexible on board." ”
"Perhaps. The deputy said no more, and he picked up the telescope again and looked at the center of the lake.
Huo Chi had been jumping and shouting for a full five minutes at this time, but to his disappointment, the whale salamander had not moved at all.
Strange, didn't this thing come to the surface by everyone's noise, why is it that now that I'm making such a fuss above it, and still be able to stay under the salt layer?
Huo Chi was puzzled in his heart, but the movement he made was even greater. At this moment, Huo Chi suddenly felt the salt grains under his feet move suddenly!
There is movement! Huo Chi was overjoyed. He quickly put his other foot back on the surfboard. And at this moment, the originally calm salt lake really swirled again.
One by one, the grains of salt began to tumble, reflecting the starlight like shattered crystals, moving towards the center of the salt lake.
Great! Huo Chi found that the surfboard under his feet did provide good buoyancy, but he had to be careful that the salt flow did not roll so smoothly, and the surfboard was undulating and could tip him over at any moment.
However, Huo Chi's agility bonus helped him very well, and maintaining balance above the salt lake was not a difficult thing for him.
"Poof-" Just as Huo Chi pressed his body against the surfboard and swiped his hands and feet towards the center, a "fountain" of salt particles suddenly erupted from the center of the whirlpool.
The salt fountain is tens of meters high, and the salt particles are sprinkled one after another, and under the moonlight, this salt fountain looks like a real fountain, which looks quite spectacular.
It's coming out?!" Huo Chi quickly wiped the salt particles off his face and paddled the surfboard outward.
Just as he was dodging the salt fountain, Huo Chi suddenly felt the salt layer under him bulge violently. Immediately after, a gray-black mass of objects quietly emerged from the salt layer!
In the tumbling grains of salt, Huo Chi saw a huge crystal clear sphere!
That's a whale salamander! That's the whale salamander's eyes, to be exact!
The orb was staring at Huo Chi, and Huo Chi also saw a hint of contempt and anger in the whale salamander's eyes.
The whale salamander has finally surfaced in the salt layer! The corners of Huo Chi's mouth are slightly upturned, I am afraid that you will not come out and have been hiding under the salt layer, but now that you have come out, let you see what an insect is.
The anger in the monster's eyes was also evident from its attack, and now on the calm salt lake, the speed of the salt vortex was constantly accelerating.
As the salt stream rolled, Huo Chi had to paddle the surfboard under him hard so as not to be carried into the center by the whirlpool.
And in the center of the whirlpool, which looks black because of the sinking, the whale salamander's mouth is revealed, and its large mouth seems to be gradually opening up.
"Come on, bumblebee and killer bee. Huo Chi carefully stretched out his right hand, and several yellow hornets and yellow-green killer bees flew out of his fingertips and flew straight towards the whirlpool of whale salamanders.
At such a distance, even the bumblebee and the slightly smaller killer bee should not be detected by the people on the shore, right?
Huo Chi carefully lowered the flight altitude of the monster bees, and the two monster bees approached the salt layer and flapped their wings to approach the whale salamander.
"Poof-" Another fountain of salt shot into the night sky, and the monster dodged carefully, but one of them still hit.
Huo Chi hurriedly rowed over and caught the falling bumblebee.
"Damn!" Huo Chi found that the bumblebee's wings had been broken, and the monster bee was already dying.
It seems that the salt fountain is also an effective means of attack for the whale salamander, Huo Chi hurriedly asked the monster bees to bypass the salt fountain and move forward in a roundabout way.
The whale salamander flickered in the salt layer, but no matter how it moved, its huge eyes were always staring at Huo Chi.
I know you see me, but I see you too. You and me, who is the hunter and who is the prey?" Huo Chi narrowed his eyes and jerked the bumblebees towards the whale salamander.
The big eyes seemed to widen when they saw the monster bee, and it looked a little incredulous, slightly stunned.
Huo Chi noticed that the moment the whale salamander was stunned, the quicksand around it also stopped at that moment.
It seems that these quicksands are related to the spiritual power of the whale salamander, and when the whale salamander is stunned, the quicksand will pause.
However, the quicksand was now flowing again, and the whale salamander seemed to see the monster bee clearly, and as it tried to dodge under the salt layer, it spewed out a salt fountain.
This time, the Salt Fountain failed to hurt any of the monster bees, because Huo Chi had already been on guard and let them avoid directly above the whale salamander in advance.
The monster saw that it missed the blow, but it did not continue to attack, it carefully surfaced the salt layer, opened its mouth, and swallowed the salt stream as if it were breathing.
