Chapter 017 Distress at the bottom of the river
Meng Xiang held a big rock and walked quickly at the bottom of the river. Although the water flow at the bottom of the river was complicated, like many invisible hands pulling him, he was unmoved and firmly moved towards the target he locked.
Gradually, as the distance approached, Meng Xiang finally saw the light source clearly. The white light came from a big fish that was almost as long as a young man.
Meng Xiang was delighted. Although he was not sure that this fish was the one he saw not long ago, judging from their size and luminous characteristics, they were at least of the same kind.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he approached the glowing strange fish quietly. He wanted to take a closer look at whether it was a silver sword tiger fish. If so, it was undoubtedly good news for him. As the effect of hair plucking and marrow washing soup was declining, its meat could help him and Yan Shi very much, and increase their cultivation speed.
Just when he was less than two feet away from the monster fish and was about to see its specific characteristics, he didn't know why the monster fish moved, and in a flash, it disappeared without a trace, just as if it had never appeared before.
Damn it! Meng Xiang cursed in his heart, but he quickly calmed down. It was impossible for the strange fish to disappear for no reason, and even if it disappeared, it would not be so abrupt. Unless...
Meng Xiang held Dashi and rushed to the place where the monster fish was staying at the fastest speed. However, just as he reached the place where the monster fish was, a sudden warning appeared in his heart, but unfortunately it was too late.
With one foot on the air, Meng Xiang fell down with the big stone. It turned out that the place where the monster fish was located was a big hole. However, he was not panicked. He had encountered danger in the Rage Longjiang before and knew how to deal with it.
He made a quick decision and threw away the big rock in his arms, used his hands and feet, and quickly stroked upwards, striving to get out of the big hole in unknown situations as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, just as he stabilized his body and floated upward, a powerful suction suddenly appeared under his feet, like an invisible big hand holding him and dragging him down desperately.
The suction force was so powerful that Meng Xiang had used all his swimming skills, but he still could not stop his body from sinking. What's worse was that due to his vigorous exercise, which accelerated the consumption of oxygen, his chest began to become stuffy and his mind began to become heavy.
I don't know how long he used all his solutions to fight the suction force, and he had no time to care about the passage of time.
At this time, his physical strength had reached its limit. Golden flowers began to appear in front of him. His head had become drowsy, and his chest began to become hot and swollen, as if something was about to run out.
Fortunately, at this time, the suction force began to decrease. Meng Xiang's spirit was immediately shocked, and he didn't care about overdrawing his physical strength. He used his hands and feet to swim desperately towards the mouth of the big hole. He knew very well that if he could not take this opportunity to rush out of the big hole, once the suction force increased again, he might have the possibility of his life at the bottom.
What Meng Xiang was worried about did not happen, and his luck seemed to have improved. Not only did the suction force not only showed no sign of increasing, but on the contrary, it was still decreasing. But before he could let go of his hanging heart, a greater danger had approached him.
He suddenly saw a ray of light coming from under him, and it was getting brighter and brighter. Soon he saw clearly the light source. It was the kind of luminous strange fish he had seen before, and there were more than one, reaching close, with more than twenty, and many of them were taller than one person.
Their slightly sprinted bodies were like sharp arrows flashing with cold light, shooting towards him at an extremely fast speed. Looking at their open mouths and sharp teeth with cold light, he immediately knew what they were going to do, they were going to eat him.
Damn it! Meng Xiang cursed fiercely in his heart, but he didn't dare to be slow in his movements. His hands and feet were slashing faster. However, no matter how good the water nature of a human is, he is a creature living on land. Compared with the indigenous people in the water, he is at a disadvantage. Compared with this kind of strange fish that is obviously a carnivorous, it is even more disadvantageous.
The stirring water flow not only does not constitute an obstacle for the strange fish that shines with white light, but instead becomes the driving force to move forward. Almost in a blink of an eye, they caught up with him.
His guess was correct. As soon as they approached him, they opened their sharp teethed mouths covered with small daggers and bit them at him, showing no mercy, and seemed to tear him apart and swallow him into their stomachs.
Almost out of instinct, he began to twist his body desperately. Although he was lucky enough not to be bitten, the coldness of the monster's sharp teeth brushing his skin made him shudder. A powerful force burst out from his body. He couldn't help but jump forward, and suddenly went out several feet away, fortunately avoiding several hideous mouths.
But good luck could not always follow him. Although he had tried his best to avoid the next charge-like attack by the strange fish, his left calf was still bitten by a strange fish, and a sharp pain immediately spread throughout his body.
He subconsciously struggled and broke free. He knew that it was not that the strange fish's teeth were not sharp enough, nor that the biting strength of its mouth was not strong enough, but that the copper-skin iron bone skills and leakless real body he had practiced during this period played a role at a critical moment, so that the strange fish's teeth did not bite too deep.
The next moment, the severe pain on his legs that had not been relieved and the strange fish that had become even more crazy told him that he was injured and that the wound was still bleeding.
Stimulated by blood, the third round of attacks of the monster fish became more intense and crazy. Almost at the same time, all the monster fish opened their mouths and bit them fiercely at him.
Meng Xiang felt cold: It's bad! At this critical moment, his hands suddenly touched the cold hard object. His spirit was shocked: it was the exit of the big hole. He held the stone at the entrance of the hole with both hands, and his arms suddenly rushed forward. Although there were too many strange fish, the outside of his right thigh was bitten, and a half-foot-long hole was cut by the strange fish's sharp teeth, he was still secretly grateful in his heart.
After leaving the big hole, Meng Xiang squatted down his legs, stepped hard on the hard rocks at the bottom of the river, and burst out all the strength of his body, like an angry arrow, shooting straight towards the river surface. With the movement of his hands and feet, his rising speed became extremely fast. For a moment, he actually shook the group of terrible strange fishes away.
But the good times did not last long. After the rising momentum decreased, the speed advantage of the group of monster fish exploded, and they soon caught up again, and opened their mouths and bit them at him.
Although he was in danger again, his mood was different because he saw the sky light coming from above his head, which meant that he was not far from the river.
Afterwards, he was bitten by the strange fish several times, but fortunately it was not too serious, and he finally emerged from the water and breathed the fresh air. However, the strange fish were extremely fierce. At this time, they were still unwilling to let him go and were still biting him.
Meng Xiang took his busy schedule and looked back at the unyielding strange fish. A cold light shot out from his eyes, his arms slashed, and broke through a waterway and rushed straight towards the river bank.
Just as he had just reached the shore, he suddenly stopped, turned around, inserted his hands into the water like lightning, and then shouted violently, and swung his hands in the direction of the river bank. A big fish that was almost as long as a human broke out of the water, flew straight several feet away, and fell heavily to the ground.
However, the strange fish has extremely tenacious vitality. It fell from the air of two or three highs on the hard river bank, but it still did not die. It was still twisting wildly, as if it wanted to return to the water.
Yan Shi picked up a branch as thick as an arm to hit it, but it jumped up suddenly and almost bit his nose, scaring him into cold sweat. It was so fierce.
At this time, Meng Xiang also fought fiercely with the strange fish. Since his feet had already stepped on the ground, he became much more flexible. Although there were many strange fish, he could not do anything to him for a while. However, it was very difficult for him to throw the fish on the shore. Whenever he was about to attack a strange fish, other strange fish would attack him in groups, making it impossible for him to succeed.
After about a cup of tea, the river water where Meng Xiang stood had a faint red color, blood, and there were also strange fish. After launching another collective attack without success, the strange fish seemed to know that they could not do anything to the enemy in front of them and began to retreat.
Meng Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stomped his feet hard on the ground. He jumped up in the water deep into the ribs, flying up to about one meter high. Then his body turned into the air, turning into the head and feet, and inserted straight into the water, without any trace.
Yan Shi, who had finally subdued the strange fish, hurriedly ran over, staring at the river with his eyes tightly, and his face was full of anxiety. Fortunately, Meng Xiang did not let him wait for a long time this time. In less than twenty breaths, he exposed the water and swam to the shore, with something vaguely dragging behind him.
When he got ashore, Yan Shi was surprised to find that he was dragging a strange fish in his hand, almost half larger than the one on the shore, but it was dead and was torn open by Dali.
"Brother Meng, you..." Yan Shi was about to ask about Meng Xiang's experience, but he was shocked by nearly ten wounds on his body, and hurried over to bandage him.
After a brief treatment of the wound, the two of them carried back what they had today. Fortunately, they lived in remote areas, so they did not attract the attention of the villagers, otherwise they would have to deal with it.
When he returned home, Meng Xiang returned to the inner room and treated the wounds, while Yan Shi stayed outside to deal with the two big fish. He had to make a whole fish banquet at noon. In Meng Xiang's words, if it wanted to eat my meat, I would eat its meat.
Unbuttoning the strip of cloth, Meng Xiang showed an excited expression. Perhaps because of practicing the leakless true body recorded in "Huanyuan Wuji", his self-healing ability was greatly improved. In the short time he returned from Jiang'an, the wounds almost closed and the blood stopped flowing.
