Hearing the cry of the old village chief above me, I suddenly realized that the danger had not passed yet. Although I finally rescued Lin Qianyi from the villagers, it was not the time to be happy now. Not to mention the villagers who will never give up, just how we can avoid the huge monster around us and get ashore safely is a difficult problem at the moment.
But at this time, Lin Qianyi suddenly patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the altar, and said in a slight voice: "Sijiu, look at that"
I raised my head and saw that the old village chief was standing on the edge of the altar, shouting orders to the villagers in the audience. However, I did not hear the villagers' response from under the altar, but instead, The villagers howled in fear.
"Village, village chief!?"
"Why are you all standing there? Why don't you hurry up and chase after me!"
The old village chief didn¡¯t notice it at all, but I understood why the villagers were so scared, because at this moment, the water monster actually moved its mouth to the old village chief¡¯s head.
It wasn¡¯t until a drop of yellow-brown liquid dripped from the monster¡¯s mouth onto his head that the old village chief reacted. He raised his head, his voice trembling: ¡°Water, Lord Water God?¡±
Poof!
The old village chief exclaimed because the monster's actions suddenly stopped.
The monster's mouth suddenly dropped, and bit the upper body of the old village chief into its mouth in one bite. Amidst the creepy sucking sound, the old village chief's body didn't even have a chance to struggle, and was smothered by the worm-like creature. The strange mouth sucked it in.
Around the altar, it was as quiet as death. The villagers stared in disbelief as their old village chief completely disappeared in front of them.
Finally, someone murmured: "Why? Doesn't Lord Water God not eat men?"
"No, no, Lord Water God is angry! According to legend, Lord Water God only eats people randomly when he is angry!"
As if to confirm their words, not long after the monster ate the old village chief, it stretched out its mouth again and took another guard into its mouth. At the same time, the monster's body began to move towards the altar. Move as if to land.
The huge body hit the altar, which immediately overwhelmed the altar and began to gradually collapse. It was only then that everyone came back to their senses and fled around the altar crying.
On the hot spring side, the monster's movements also caused the spring water to surge like ocean waves. I hugged Lin Qianyi tightly, fearing that something might happen to her, and then used all my strength to swim towards the shore of the hot spring. past.
Just when we were halfway through the swim, bubbles suddenly began to appear in the spring water, as if something was about to float.
Although we are in a hot spring, my heart suddenly froze when I saw the bubbles. Could it be that there is something else in this hot spring besides the monster just now?
However, after a few seconds, I did not see any monsters. Instead, I saw large crystal-clear balls starting to emerge from the spring water. More and more of these balls floated, gradually covering the water in front of us. Covered.
Lin Qianyi on my back asked me: "Sijiu, what is that?"
I shook my head to express that I didn¡¯t know, and then I braved it, slowly approached one of the spheres, and reached out to touch its surface.
"Sister Lin, she is soft."
The touch of this ball was just like the rubber balls I played with when I was a child. The surface was smooth and elastic. I couldn¡¯t tell what it was. I saw that it didn¡¯t seem dangerous, so I got closer to the balls again. And when the two of us got completely close to these spheres, I suddenly discovered that a mass of something like egg yolk could be seen at the core of these translucent spheres.
Seeing this, I immediately realized what these things were.
"Sister Lin, these things seem to be the eggs of that monster!"
"What? There are so many?"
I felt that Lin Qianyi¡¯s body on my back suddenly became stiff, and I immediately comforted her and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous, these are probably unfertilized eggs and will not hatch into little monsters.¡±
Lin Qianyi asked curiously: "How do you know?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "I guessed it. No matter how you look at it, there is only one monster here. If it could produce fertilized eggs, this cave would already be full of monsters."
Lin Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope your guess is correct."??¡¡±
But at this time, I had one sentence in my heart that I didn¡¯t say. In fact, after seeing the eggs of these suspected monsters, I guessed a little bit about the purpose of the villagers' sacrifice to the monsters. If nothing else, the elixir Awu once told me should be the monster eggs around me now.
He once told me that the purpose of the villagers offering sacrifices to the Water God was to obtain the elixir given to them by the Water God. But now it seems that the water god that the villagers call is just a monster who doesn¡¯t know what it is. Naturally, it is impossible for such a monster to really understand human speech and give rewards to the villagers like humans. In this case , then the rewards that the villagers said the water god gave them after receiving the sacrifices should refer to what the monster left in the hot spring after eating people.
When we jumped into the hot spring just now, these round eggs were clearly not visible in the water, but after the old village chief was eaten, these round eggs immediately popped out, and judging from the size of the round eggs, they seemed to be It just fits into the large water tank prepared by the villagers next to the altar. From this point of view, it is very likely that these round eggs are the so-called elixir.
But these things are still just my guesses after all, so I have no intention of telling Lin Qianyi right now. After confirming that these balls posed no threat to us, I continued to swim towards the shore with Lin Qianyi.
At this time, the altar was already in chaos. The monsters who were angered by the unexplained explosion had completely spread their anger on the heads of the villagers. Although many people escaped from the altar in time, However, many villagers were injured when the altar was destroyed by the monster. Those injured villagers who fell to the ground had no time to even run away and call for help, so they were swallowed up by the furious monster one by one, leaving no one behind. in stomach.
It wasn¡¯t until the entire altar was completely destroyed and no villagers could be seen on the shore that the monster began to retreat gradually.
I saw that the monster seemed to want to return to the hot spring, so I couldn't help but speed up. I thought that it would be terrible if the monster got back into the hot spring and we hadn't landed yet. Facing that kind of monster, even if I had a gun in my hand, it would be impossible to save myself and Qian Yi's lives.
So, I paddled hard, trying to take Lin Qianyi ashore quickly. However, I forgot that I had not rested for a whole night.
Since I escaped from the village during the day yesterday, I have hardly had any time to rest. I first escaped from the village back to the town, and then immediately returned from the town.
During this period, not only did I not rest, I didn¡¯t even eat much. My ability to persist until now was entirely supported by the idea of ????rescuing Lin Qianyi. But at this time, even if I could still hold on mentally, my body could no longer support it. Seeing that I was very close to the shore, my strength was almost completely exhausted.
Feeling that my movements had slowed down, Lin Qianyi said in panic: "Sijiu, what's wrong with you? Are you injured somewhere?"
I gritted my teeth and had no extra energy to answer. I just covered my head and paddled mechanically. With my last bit of persistence, before I ran out of strength, I finally swam to the shore with Lin Qianyi. Then he used his last bit of strength to push her onto the water bank.
After finally finishing all this, I no longer have the strength to go ashore by myself. But when I was about to sink into the water, a big hand suddenly stretched out from the shore, grabbed me, and pulled me up.
The skin on that hand was rough and rough. It obviously couldn't be Lin Qianyi's. I was shocked and thought that the person who caught me was a villager. I immediately put my hand on my waist and pulled out the pistol. Regardless of whether the pistol could still be used after being soaked in water for so long, he pointed the muzzle at the owner of that hand and pulled the trigger.
