Chapter Thirty-Four
Just when I was thinking.
The fat man interrupted me:
"Hey Arlene, did you hear anything?"
I tilted my ears and frowned, listening carefully.
I vaguely heard a "clattering" sound.
"It sounds like water," the fat man said.
Hearing what the fat man said, I quickly used my flashlight to shine into the water in the tomb.
The flashlight beam scanned the area and found nothing except for a slight ripple on the water surface.
Suddenly, on the slightly turbulent surface of the water, the water began to roll rapidly.
It was like something was about to jump out of the water.
It became more and more violent, and the sound it made when rolling became louder and louder.
My heart suddenly trembled, thinking that the water was rolling so violently, could there be a water monkey down there?
Looking at the splashing water, if there is really a water monkey under the water, it must be at least two meters in size.
Water monkeys are also what old people often call "water ghosts". This kind of thing usually lives in rivers.
The water monkey's fighting power is much higher than that of ordinary people. If you fight it unarmed, you will basically die.
But if you have a knife in your hand, even if the knife is full of rust.
There are many gaps, so it is still easy to kill the water monkey.
But this is limited to water monkeys in rivers, if water monkeys appear in tombs.
With this kind of fighting power, even if you hold Cheng Yaojin's three-blade ax in your hand, it's still strong enough to hurt it even a hair.
The water monkey in this tomb is different from the water monkey in the river outside.
The water monkeys in the tomb feed on carrion and mummies all year round.
My body has also mutated a long time ago, and I don’t know what kind of mutation it has become.
I just heard from people of the older generation that this mutated water monkey's body is covered with silver armor.
It's like wearing a suit of armor. No matter how you cut it with a knife, you can't hurt it at all.
And he has extremely long black nails that can pierce a person's heart in one stroke.
I don't dare to think about it any more, I'm afraid to think about it any more.
If a water monkey really pops out of the water, the gold-fishing career of the three of us will be completely over.
I turned around and ran to the fat man quickly, helped him up, and prepared to hide first.
"Hey Arlene, I'm blind! Slow down! I can't see!"
I didn't have time to answer Fatty, I just wanted to hide as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late to run away when the things in the water came out.
However, while running, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why are we the only two running? There seems to be something wrong with the number of people! Why is the big gold tooth missing?
Just when I was stunned, I heard a "pop" sound in the water.
That thing is out!
I can't believe it! We haven't hid yet, but we are exposed in front of it. If we don't run away quickly, we will be really cold!
What's more, I don't know where Golden Tooth has gone at this time?
I cursed secretly in my heart, thinking that if you don’t follow us properly with your old arms and legs, why are you running blindly? You really have had enough of this life!
Not daring to neglect, I quickly helped the fat man find a place to hide.
After running a few steps, I suddenly heard someone shouting from behind.
"Arlene! Arlene..."
There was a long sound and a short sound, as if there was saliva in the mouth, very weird.
My scalp went numb when I heard it. When did the water monkeys evolve to the point where they can speak human words?
You fucking called me by my name again, why can’t you change someone and call me Fatty?
I thought to myself that those who couldn't speak human words were invulnerable, and those who could speak would probably be even more difficult to deal with.
Just when I was thinking about what to do next, the person in the water shouted again.
"Arlene...Arlene..."
This time the shouting was very long, and I felt like I was about to die.
The hairs all over my body stood up when I listened to it, and I didn’t dare to look back.
At this time, the fat man said abruptly:
"How come...this voice seems to have been heard somewhere before?" He pondered for a moment, showing a surprised expression.
He said to me:
"Isn't this Mr. Jin's voice?"
After hearing this, I was stunned and thought to myself: Could it be that the big golden tooth was dragged down by something in the water?
Just when I was doubtful, the shout came again:
"Arlene..."
He just shouted once and stopped shouting.
I thought back to the voice just now, and it seemed that it was indeed somewhat similar to the voice of Big Gold Tooth.
But when did the big gold tooth escape into the water?
The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. I really wanted to take a look behind me, but I was afraid that it might not be the big gold tooth.
After a lot of inner struggle, I mustered up the courage and made a decision.
I turned my head and looked towards the water.
The moment I looked over, I was immediately stunned by the scene in front of me.
The one calling me was either Water Monkey or Big Gold Tooth!
I saw Big Jinya floating in the middle of the water, flopping up and down.
The water kept pouring into Big Jinya's mouth. No wonder when he called me, it always felt like he was talking with something in his mouth.
Watching Big Jinya struggling in the water slower and slower, I realized that Big Jinya might not be able to hold on any longer.
If we don't save him, his body will soon cramp up and sink to the bottom.
I quickly said to the fat man:
"Fat man, stay here and don't move. The big gold tooth fell into the water. I have to save him. Don't move here and wait for me to come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man took out the pistol from his waist, gave it to me, and said:
"I'm blind. I can't use this thing. You can hold it for self-defense!"
I nodded and put the gun on my waist.
Then I immediately rushed to the water's edge, ready to jump in and rescue Golden Tooth.
However, at this moment, Da Jinya choked on the water and said something vaguely:
"Don't come down...don't come down...there are...strange fish..."
I was stunned when I heard it, and thought to myself that the strange fish was the one I met on the boat? But how could there be a strange fish here?
There is at least five miles difference between here and the place where we killed the fish. How could there be a strange fish?
Besides, that fish has been blown up by the boatman himself, so there is no way it will appear here again!
Unless...this strange fish is not the same as that one at all!
But why do so many strange fish appear?
Is it possible that there is really a corpse place under the water?
There was no time to think too much, Da Jinya was obviously exhausted at this time.
In just a few minutes, you'll be drowning.
I couldn't care less and took off my leather jacket.
The water surface seems to be quite calm. Even if there are strange fish, they are not here at the moment.
Seeing that the big gold tooth could no longer hold up, I took a deep breath of oxygen.
I plunged into the water with a sudden movement, and the cold and biting river water soaked my whole body in an instant.
I hurriedly put my head out to take a breath, and then swam towards the big golden tooth.
When I swam to Big Jinya, Big Jinya stretched out his hand and grabbed me tightly.
I noticed that Da Jinya's consciousness had begun to blur at this time.
There was only a trace of strength left to hold me.
I didn't dare to stay too long, so I dragged the big gold tooth and started swimming to the shore.
But at this moment, in the water around us.
Chapter completed!
