I nodded, took out clean water from my bag, and fed it to the fat man's mouth.
"Don't be anxious, let's talk about things slowly."
I looked at the water of Sichuan River, but the things below were not catching up.
It seems that these things can only live in water and cannot appear on river banks.
Otherwise, given the ferocity of that thing, it must have followed the two of us to the river bank long ago, and would never let the two of us escape from him.
Cui Hao reluctantly stood upright, and slowly followed me to the wall beside me, leaning against the wall to rest.
He picked up the water bottle and drank all the water in the bottle before letting out a long sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death. Fatty thought he would have to confess here today, but he didn't expect that there was still a glimmer of hope."
After the fat man finished speaking, he reached out and patted my shoulder, his face full of gratitude.
"Master Xiaoman, thanks to your help today, otherwise I might really be buried under the water."
I shook my head and transferred the photos from the camera to my phone again.
Then I took out all the photos I just took and looked at them carefully.
My focus is on the layer of sand and soil.
Cui Hao also came to my side and followed my gaze to look at these photos.
Soon, he saw a figure in the photo.
"Damn it, there are so many ghosts down here. The two of us were literally on the verge of life and death just now. If we weren't lucky, we would have been pinned underwater by these things and killed."
Having said that, I always feel like something is wrong.
If there are so many figures under the water, their attack power is similar to that of the guy who fought with us just now.
So why don't they attack en masse?
In this way, Cui Hao and I were unable to resist at all, and could only be pushed underwater by them.
Why did they only send one to attack us? Do these ghosts still pay attention to morality and insist on fighting alone?
I shook off the messy thoughts in my mind and continued to carefully observe the pictures under the river.
Cui Hao suddenly let out a sigh.
"Hey, look at this, this long thing is entangled with their hair, but it doesn't seem to be hair."
The fat man took the camera over, looked at it carefully and said to me suspiciously.
"Why do I feel like these things are like long iron chains, and the other ends of the iron chains are fixed on the walls on both sides, so this thing is unable to break free and escape?"
I quickly grabbed the camera and looked carefully at the chains the fat man mentioned.
Because the visibility in the underground soil and sand layer is too low, I didn't notice this before.
The long one below is really a chain, and the other end of the chain is indeed fixed on the sand wall next to it.
No wonder these things have been floating under the river bank and have not done anything to us. It is for this reason.
"It seems that the thing that attacked us must have been because the underground chains were in disrepair. One of the chains was loose, so we let it out."
Cui Hao shook his head and sighed.
"We were both unlucky. We happened to be attacked by this thing, and we almost fell into its hands."
As he said that, the fat man rolled up his sleeves and walked to the river bank with a menacing look.
"Master Xiao Man, you fat master can't hold back your anger today. I have to go down there and kill this thing."
If all the shadows in these layers of soil were alive, Cui Hao would not dare to have such thoughts.
He knew that none of these things could break free of the rope, so he decided to pounce down and kill the monster blocking our way.
I waved my hand at him.
"Stay here. You have just climbed out of the water. It will be too dangerous if you go down again. Just wait for me here and let me do it next."
Although the two-meter-tall monster looked very oppressive and extremely difficult to deal with.
But when I attacked this thing just now, I found that it seemed to be afraid of my hidden weapon, and would hide away every time.
In this case, then I have found a way to deal with this thing, and I will naturally not let him continue to live.
I sent a copy of the pictures I put together to Cui Hao via Bluetooth.
"You should also study these pictures and see if you can find some useful information on them."
I pointed to the picture I had pieced together.
"We have been to these two cave entrances. One is a dead end and the other has a stone door. I am going to go down and take a look again. This time my target is the hole on the far left."
After listening to my words, Cui Hao quickly took the photo and observed it carefully.
He stared in disbelief at the long dragon above.
"Let me go, on such a large scale, this giant dragon must be hundreds of meters long. If those old scholars run underground, they will go crazy!"
This is indeed true.
This long dragon has no meaning or value at all to us, but for those researchers, it is extremely precious information.
Moreover, such a large underwater palace and such a long dragon carving should be a miracle in the world of cultural relics to them.
After the fat man finished complaining, he pointed at one of the caves and said to me.
"I just went here. You can mark it. There is also a stone gate here. When you went down for the second time, didn't you also see a stone gate? Why wasn't it marked?"
The fat man drew a circle casually.
I shook my head and looked toward the river.
"I was in such a hurry that I couldn't remember which grotto it was. I had to go down and make sure."
I simply told Cui Hao to watch my rope and plunged head-on into the river.
This time I deliberately slowed down a bit when passing through the silt layer.
As expected.
I could clearly see that a long rope spread out from these black shadows, and the root end of the rope was embedded in the wall next to it.
It seems that they are the gatekeepers chained here.
Cui Hao's guess is good.
The guy who attacked us was definitely an exception and someone who slipped through the cracks.
I looked around vigilantly, paying attention to every detail.
I have only one purpose for coming down this time.
Kill that monster.
At this time, the bottom of the river became drowsy.
Just when I entered the clear water layer below the soil layer, a black figure suddenly rushed towards me.
The monster's eyes were scarlet, and the teeth in its mouth spread out seven to eight centimeters, and the tips of the teeth were extremely sharp.
I have no doubt that if this thing were pierced directly into my neck, it would bite right through my throat in an instant.
This thing's attack is extremely powerful.
The moment I poked my head out, he swung his sharp claws and slashed hard at my face.
If I hadn't escaped quickly, my cheek would have been scratched by this claw.
I quickly retreated to put some distance between me and this damn thing.
I looked up at the murky water above my head.
Cui Hao is on top. As long as I pull the rope, he will use all his strength to drag me out.
Without any worries, I swung the concealed weapon hard and pierced the monster's eyes directly.
The flow of water underground provides some resistance to the force.
The concealed weapon still deflected half an inch and grazed against the guy's face.
Still couldn't win with one move.
This guy was completely irritated by me. He rushed towards me crazily, almost without any control.
The claws and teeth bit hard at my body, as if they were determined to let me die here.
I deliberately showed off my flaws and exposed my chest.
This thing was indeed fooled.
He immediately rushed towards me as if he had taken advantage, and at the same time stabbed my chest viciously with both claws.
The moment he was about to pierce my chest.
I swung the dagger hard and plunged it into the thing's eye socket.
There was a pop.
His eyeballs were immediately pierced by me, and I pulled them out from the sockets.
I quickly pressed the thing's arm tightly, and used the tip of the concealed weapon to make a sharp scratch on his skin.
Another hidden weapon was stuffed directly into his throat and slit his neck.
A large pool of smelly dark red liquid spurted out from his body, instantly turning the entire river red.
The monster held its throat and kept roaring loudly, as if it wanted to let out its final wail.
But in the end, before he had time to roar, his body slowly collapsed and sank until he completely stopped moving and sank to the bottom.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
I swam downward to the bottom and kicked the monster's body with my feet.
After confirming that the monster really had no reaction and was confirmed to be dead, I was completely relieved.
I circled the monster.
Although this monster looks very similar to a human, its skin has a dark blue appearance.
In addition, there are organs similar to fish gills on both sides of the monster's cheeks.
When I was fighting with this thing just now, I could clearly see that her cheeks on both sides were bulging and sinking.
It looks like a fish drum is breathing through a plug.
It seems that this thing is indeed a variant of fish, and it is also somewhat related to humans.
Although I don't know what kind of monster this is, at least this thing is dead and I am safe for the time being.
The two of us fought for three or four minutes, and now my chest was so full that it was about to explode.
If I stay any longer, I will really be completely suffocated to death underground.
I quickly paddled upward and swam to the river bank again to meet Cui Hao.
When Cui Hao saw me coming up, he quickly reached out and pulled me to the river bank.
"How's it going? Have you met that thing down there?"
I nodded and told Cui Hao about the fierce battle scene just now.
He stared at me in surprise.
"Master Xiaoman is mighty. That thing is so fierce, and you knocked it down directly?"
As he said that, the fat man directly tied the rope to his body again and waved a gesture towards me.
"Then I'm going down. Xiao Man, please wait for me here and tighten the rope."
With that said, Cui Hao plunged head-on into the river.
