Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Encountering a Water Monster

Zhang Yaoye's boat was much slower than Duoroll's Nanzhu on the water.They stepped on the verdant bamboo one by one, just like stepping on the back of a dragon entering the water, walking with the water on the turbulent water, as freely as flying. It disappeared around the big bend. Zhang Yaoye reminded Riwobuji who was in charge of the pole and punted: "Don't just talk, get out of here. They have already disappeared at the corner ahead, and we have fallen behind." But Riwobuji said slowly: "Master Yao, don't worry, they will wait for us in front." But Zhang Ziheng kept staring at the big green python that kept a certain distance in front of them without blinking.

When the boat came to a bend, the turbulent water seemed to relax a lot.Only then did Mr. Zhang Yao realize that after exiting the mouth of the bay, there was an open lake in front of him, surrounded by mountains on three sides. Here too, the nature of nature has become tame, and the rhythm of the flow has also become soothing and has a certain rhythm. In fact, this is not a lake in the true sense, but the river has gone around the bend, and the water suddenly becomes wider. The water from a big river walks around here, as if saying a simple farewell, and then They parted ways and went into the two caves of the two mountains respectively.

When Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng saw such a cave, they felt nervous, and couldn't help but said, "What? Are you going to drill the cave again?" Riwobuji said: "You can also choose not to drill the cave, but you have to go over the mountains. However, if you don't have local mountain people as your guides, I can assure you that you will not be able to go out. There is a heavy mountain here. It is the first level. Even the local people, if they want to cross the place where they have lived for lifetimes, they have to take certain risks." Hearing what Riwobuji said, Zhang Yaoye certainly believed his words.Master Zhang Yao now has no reason not to believe what Riwobuji said, after all, he and Zhang Ziheng are now like three-year-old children who have lost their way, without any sense of direction.

While talking, there was a cuckoo-like cooing sound from the woods on a nearby hill.Riwobuji immediately said: "Everyone, be careful, the situation seems to be bad!" Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng were taken aback when they heard what Riwobuji said, and even She Shiyun stared at Riwobuji with very surprised eyes.But at this time, Riwobuji patrolled the quiet surroundings with extremely cautious and sharp eyes. The mountains and water here are indeed silent.This kind of silence is not only isolated from the world, but also seems to hide some kind of mystery! The heads of Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng followed Riwobuji's head, and their eyes followed Riwobuji's.

The surface of the water where the cold wind blows seems to hide a crisis. At this time, Master Zhang Yao and Zhang Ziheng just saw that there seemed to be traces of emerald green bamboos floating in the dense clumps of reeds on the left.But the reed field was empty, but there were no signs of them. Zhang Yaoye said in a low voice to Chaoriwobuji: "Don't worry, they seem to have disappeared. The bamboos are all floating there." Riwobuji's expression was slightly reserved, and he said: "They have gone ashore and entered the woods. The cuckoo's call just now was made by them, it is a signal!"

Master Zhang Yao became a little worried and said, "We won't encounter anything, right?" "It's not that we won't encounter anything, but it's already entangled us." Riwobuji said. "Ah?" Zhang Yaoye exclaimed in surprise. Suddenly Zhang Ziheng shouted loudly: "Master Yao, look!" Zhang Yaoye looked in the direction of Zhang Ziheng's finger, and saw a person floating upright in a clump of reeds.is a dead man.The man, dressed in peacock-blue homespun, was lying face down in the water.The body with all fours spread out is rippling on the surface of the water in the reeds.

"We have already lost one person." Zhiwobuji said while using the boat pole in his hand to row the boat into the reed slop.Because the boat was still a long way from the reed marshes and the river was still very deep, the boat pole in Riwobuji's hand could not go deep into the river bottom to punting, so he had to use a penny pole to row the boat, so the speed of the boat was quite slow. Suddenly, the old monk Jingyuan, who had been standing on the boat without speaking, shouted: "Everyone, be careful." As the voice sounded, the old monk Jingyuan unexpectedly rolled up the wide sleeves of his monk's robe, and turned towards Zhang Yaoye. and Zhang Ziheng's head.Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng dodged instinctively, staggered on the swaying boat, and almost fell into the water. When they recovered, they saw the stern-looking old monk Jingyuan let go of the sleeves that had just passed over their heads, Two arrowheads fell into the water from the old monk Jingyuan's cuffs.

Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng looked at the two cold arrows that sank into the bottom of the water and almost killed them, they felt cold all over and broke out in cold sweat. Realizing the danger of the situation, She Shiyun hurriedly bowed down and paddled vigorously with her hands, trying to help Riwobuji quickly row the boat into the reeds to hide. Riwobuji yelled at She Shiyun very anxiously: "Stand up, stand up quickly! Who told you to squat down and paddle?" She Shiyun didn't understand why Riwobuji anxiously called her to stand up, and looked at Riwobuji in puzzlement.Just when she was dazed, a pair of white hands suddenly stretched out from the water beside the side of the boat where she was squatting, grabbed She Shiyun's hand at once, and pulled She Shiyun into the water suddenly.

This sudden turn of events happened in the blink of an eye.Before She Shiyun had time to utter an exclamation, she was pulled off the side of the boat by those terrifying hands, and fell into the water with a "plop". Panicked, She Shiyun instinctively jumped twice in the water, turned around and grabbed the side of the boat indiscriminately.And her body was obviously held tightly by a guy in the water, and the boat was pulled to one side by a great force. At this time, Riwobuji plunged the bamboo pole in his hand into the water next to She Shiyun without hesitation.Immediately, a stream of dark red blood gushed out of the water, and then, the water line was seen faintly shooting towards the opposite cave.

Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng, who were still in shock, quickly stretched out their hands and pulled She Shiyun out of the water into the boat. The old monk Jingyuan reminded Riwobuji who was still watching the side of the boat: "Go ashore as soon as possible, the sooner the better, this is not a place to stay for a long time, the bottom of the water is not clean!" As soon as the old monk Jingyuan finished speaking, there was another strange waterline looming from the opposite cave, and it shot towards Riwobuji and the others' boat quickly.But this time, they saw something like fish fins clearly protruding below the waterline.

It's a big monster with fins! Riwobuji stood calmly in the middle of the boat, holding the long green bamboo pole firmly in his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic, a water monster is coming towards us." Zhang Yaoye and Zhang Ziheng stood on the boat dumbfounded, staring straight at the water lines drawn by the two fin-like things rushing towards the boat they were on, their minds were completely blank . She Shiyun, who was drenched in water, scrambled to her feet, searched in a panic on the surrounding water and shouted, "Where's my little dragon? Where's my little dragon?" Under the dark water, the figure of the giant python was indeed lost. Only Riwobuji was standing on the boat at this moment, holding a long emerald bamboo pole in his hand, staring unblinkingly at the water marks drawn by the fins of the two lines of fish that were getting closer to them... And at this moment, from the woods on the mountain behind them, there was a sound of blunderbuss shooting.The surface of the water suddenly splashed layers of fine water like rain. Obviously, the scattered iron sand bullets shot by the earthen blunderbuss have no penetrating power to the soft and boneless water, and the water monster is not affected in the slightest. It shot towards the boat at a fast speed. From the exposed fin-like thing, it can be clearly judged that the water monster rushing towards the boat must not be too small, and the water seems to have reflected the huge and bloated shadow of this guy...
