Chapter 62: Fleeing in panic

I thought of the blood demon at the first time. Only the blood demon would do this. Could it be that the blood demon kept hiding in the dark and waited until the bearded man separated from us before taking action? Thinking of this, I was shocked and sweating in a cold sweat, my scalp numb, and I pulled Ji Wenhui behind me, holding a sharp knife in my hand to concentrate on guard.

At this time, the figure on the opposite side suddenly walked forward and walked straight towards us. I felt completely disappointed and shouted to Ji Wenhui with my back, "Take Su Lan and run quickly, I will find a way to meet you later." But I was thinking in my heart: As long as I can keep Ji Wenhui safe, it will be worth it to save my life.

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure opposite suddenly spoke: "Mingtian, what's wrong with you?" As he walked forward, his whole body also appeared from the thick fog.

From the other party's voice, I could already hear that it was a bearded man, but because his image was too weird, I could not believe it for a while. It was not until he walked out of the thick fog and was very close to me that I could see clearly that the black figure was really a bearded man.

I saw that he was covered in mud, without a clean place, and even his teeth were dyed black. Drops of black mud fell from his fingertips from time to time. His right hand was still holding the D8 army sting, but his left hand was empty, and he didn't know where the flashlight was thrown.

My nerves suddenly relaxed, and I hurriedly met him, and asked him anxiously while running: "Why did you come out from behind? Why did you make this happen? What about that smelly fish? Where is your flashlight?" A series of questions were asked one after another, and the bearded man asked so much that he didn't know which one would be better to answer first.

He smiled and told me not to worry first, then jumped back into the water, washed the sludge on my body, drank a few sips of water after getting ashore, and then told me the whole story.

It turned out that after he held the fish monster and sank into the bottom of the water, he kept looking for opportunities to kill him. But the fish monster had a very powerful force in the water and swam astonishingly fast. The bearded man could never free up his hands to attack the opponent. But if he let go, his speed in the water would definitely not be as fast as the fish monster. In that case, he would be completely at a disadvantage. There was no other way, so he would not let go and slowly find a chance to kill the enemy and win. During this period, the flashlight also fell into the bottom of the water.

The fish monster dragged his bearded man around the bottom of the water for a long time. Seeing that he couldn't get rid of him, he had to find another way, so he swam to the bottom of the mud hole, hoping to seek a turnaround in the nest.

But unexpectedly, this gave the bearded man a chance. When the fish monster dragged him into the bottom of the mud hole, the passage was too narrow to allow one person and one fish to pass side by side, so they were stuck there at the same time. I guess this fish monster lived alone usually and never considered having to pass side by side with one person, so the passage to the pond would not be so wide.

In this way, the bearded man finally got a chance to breathe, and there was air at the bottom of the hole, which was not as restricted as in the water. At this moment, a man and a fish were crowded in a narrow passage, and they could not move in and out, and no one's body could move.

Two of the three attack methods of fish monster, their sharp teeth and tail, were unable to show their power because of environmental restrictions. In addition, the beard was lying on its back, and even the short fins that could attack in the end were completely scrapped.

However, completely different from the fish monster, although the bearded man could not move, his arms could move casually. He raised his knife and stabbed the fish monster into a sieve. Then, he moved his body little by little, and finally got out of the position with the fish monster, which was the only way to get rid of the smelly fish.

The mud hole was already full of mud, and he rolled around inside. From this, it was no surprise that his whole body was covered with a thick layer of mud.

He then dragged the fish monster out of the mud hole, and at the edge of the hole, he gave the fish monster a broken belly, but found that the prince was not in the fish's belly at all. He felt relieved and stood up and walked towards us.

When he said this, the bearded man stopped talking, with a hint of embarrassment in his expression, and he looked like he was eager to speak. I asked him in surprise: "Then why didn't you come here just now? Why were you standing there motionless?"

The bearded man pulled me aside and whispered with a red face: "You two were not Zheng... that one. I was afraid that it would make you embarrassed if you went over, so I wanted to wait for you to finish... and then go over after you finish."

I was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized. It turned out that I was talking to Ji Minhui's ear just now. He mistakenly thought that we were kissing, so he stopped and didn't dare to come over. I almost made him irritate his nose and said in a low voice: "What have you learned with the prince all day long? Why are you not as close as him?"

When the prince was mentioned, the expressions of the two became solemn again. Although it was a good thing that the prince was not in the fish monster's belly, where was he now? It has been more than an hour since he was missing, so why is there still no trace of him? Is he alive or dead?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel my emotions, and shouted at the prince's name to the sky. Just like before, I couldn't hear any other sound except for the echoes like ghosts.

I lowered my head in depression and sighed, my heart was filled with mixed feelings, anxiety, impatience, confusion, worry, panic, and no good mood to cheer me up. However, I couldn't give up and not look for it. After all, it was a prince and my brother. Even if I collect the body for him, I would never let go.

After making up my mind, I wiped my face with the hot water in the pond. As soon as I touched the hot water, I asked the bearded man in confusion: "Can you stand such hot water? And that smelly fish is not afraid of being scalded. How could it survive in such water temperature? Is the water below not hot?"

The bearded man pointed at his skin that was burnt red: "It's so hot that it's not hot? If the temperature is higher, I will definitely not be able to bear it. The fish may have adapted to the living environment here, otherwise how could it look like that strange?"

I thought to myself that the fish monster is dozens of times larger than the normal bulging fish, and it has good teeth. It must be a mutant species in this harsh environment. There are many bizarre things in nature. It is said that an animal called scalding rat can play in boiling water. Who can explain the secrets clearly?

Time is tight, so I can't afford to do more unnecessary analysis. I carried Su Lan again and walked forward with Ji Wenhui quickly with the bearded man.

I had just walked forward for more than ten meters, and suddenly I heard the sound of water in the pond behind me, "slamming" and kept ringing wildly, as if many creatures were swimming inside. Immediately afterwards, dozens of sounds of hitting the ground came from continuous sound, exactly the same as the sound made by the fish monster when it jumped and landed on the ground.

The bearded man exclaimed in a low voice: "No, there is more than one fish, run away!" Before he finished speaking, he heard the slap behind him constantly, and it was getting closer and closer. It was obvious that a large number of fish monsters were jumping towards us.

My heart fell to the bottom of the valley, thinking that there are not more than one place? It’s so many. Killing a fish monster took such a big trouble. Now dozens of fish monsters are coming at the same time. Is it possible for us to survive?

The bearded man took Su Lan and put it under his armpit, turned around and said to Ji Wenhui, "I'm sorry." He reached out and pinched Ji Wenhui, and shouted to me softly, "What are you doing when you are standing there? Run!" After that, he ran forward. How dare I stop anymore, spread my legs and followed the bearded man.

After running for a few steps, we found that the ground was full of mud holes of all sizes, with forty or fifty, which was no different from the cave structure of the smelly fish.

At this time, I was even more sure that the chasing of a large number of fish monsters behind us. At the same time, I began to worry about the prince again. Although there was no prince in the belly of the fish monster that had been killed by the bearded man, there were so many fish monsters now. Could it be that the prince was still swallowed by one of them? But the situation in front of me was that there were many enemies and we were few. No matter how sad and angry, we could not take the courage to turn back and fight with a large number of fish monsters. In that case, not only would the prince not be saved, but the others would also die. Now that we say that we must not be able to fight, we can only find a safe place to hide first and make other plans for the future.

At this time, it had been more than 20 hours since we left the camp. During this period, I had never eaten serious food except for some compressed biscuits and chocolates. In addition, I ran and jumped along the way, and I was extremely sleepy and hungry. After running with the bearded man for a while, I was really out of strength. My whole body was sweating, my stomach was constantly spasming, and I was desperately retching while running. I really wanted to lie on the ground and sleep, and I would do whatever I like.

Seeing that I was running slower and slower, the fish behind me did not slow down at all, and knew that if this continued, they would be surrounded by the fish. He suddenly stopped and shouted to me: "Let's rest on my back!" This sentence was like a timely rain. I gasped wildly and lay on his back honestly and unceremoniously.

The bearded man held Su Lan and Ji Wenhui with both hands and carried me on his back. Even so, his speed was still not slow, and he ran much faster than myself. But I saw his forehead sweating and his forehead bulging. It seemed that he was approaching his limit. If this continues, he will be dragged down by us sooner or later.

After running forward for a while, the mud on the ground improved, the gravel and vines gradually increased, and it returned to its appearance near the entrance of the cave.

After walking for a while, the roots of the trees protruding on the surface became increasingly dense. Depending on the situation, we were not far from the giant burial tree in the mural. However, the fish behind us had no intention of stopping chasing, and the sound of jumping to the ground was endless. As the bearded man's breathing increased, his pace began to slow down.

When I looked back, I saw the shadow of several fish monsters leading the way, and I was only three or four meters away to catch up with us. I hurriedly said in the bearded man's ear: "I'd better run by myself, you can't stand it if you continue like this."

The bearded man did not answer, and his face showed a look of unyielding expression. He clenched his silver teeth, rushed forward again with force, and then distanced himself from the fish monster.

Suddenly, our eyes suddenly became clear, and we rushed out of the fog area and came to a unique place. Although it was dark, our sight was extremely clear. The flashlight restored its original function and shone straight to a place dozens of meters away. Not far ahead of us, we lived in a towering tree standing in the cave. The size of its hugeness was simply indescribable.

The whole giant tree was covered with vines as thick as a human arm. Where the flashlight passed by, I suddenly found that there was a person hanging on one of the vines. This person was the prince whom we had searched for without a trace.
