We two are in urgent need of food now, and I am eager to know what is under the stone.
After only hesitating for a second, I endured the burning feeling in my lungs and touched the stone.
But what I didn't expect was that before my hand touched the stone, the stone actually bounced away under the water!
Damn it!
Looking at the eight legs that suddenly grew out of the stone, I almost cried because of my stupidity.
This damn thing is obviously a big crab, but I still treat it like a piece of stone!
After making this discovery, I immediately felt enlightened.
Looking at the densely packed stones in the water, I finally understood in my heart. After talking for a long time, the reason why there are no fish in the river is probably because of this thing.
With their huge population, no matter how many fish there are, they won’t be enough to eat!
I didn't care so much anymore, and quickly surfaced, took a long breath, and then dived down again.
This time my goal was much clearer. I took the coffin nail in my hand and stabbed it towards a big rock under the water.
Sure enough, the nail had an immediate effect. The stone that originally looked dark suddenly grew eight thick thighs out of the mud.
After just a few struggles, the guy stopped moving and had no choice but to let me handle it.
Although I'm not sure whether this thing is edible, but looking at its huge size, it should have a lot of meat on it.
After I found the prey, I immediately felt that my whole body was full of energy, and I floated directly to the water with this big crab in my arms.
After swimming all the way back to the shore, I put this thing in front of the little Taoist priest. I felt really proud.
"Where did you get this?"
Before I could finish what I said, the little Taoist priest's face had already turned extremely panicked, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"Is there anything wrong with this thing?"
I looked at the little Taoist priest with some confusion, not knowing what he meant.
"You see clearly, this damn crab is not a crab, it is clearly a spider!"
When the little Taoist priest said this, I was stunned, and then I quickly turned over with my feet.
Sure enough, against the backdrop of the bead, I realized that the thing I just grabbed in my hand was actually a big spider.
Moreover, under the belly of this spider, there is obviously a sarcoma with all the facial features!
This thing is exactly the same as the thing we encountered outside before!
"The water is full of these things..."
I felt scared for a moment, but fortunately those things didn't attack me.
If those things attack in groups, I'm afraid it's doubtful whether I can stand here at this time.
"We can't stay in this place any longer, let's get out now!"
The little Taoist priest stood up quickly, tidied up briefly and threw his backpack to me.
"Is it so serious? If we don't go to the bottom of the water, they probably won't attack us! You see, there is nothing nearby..."
When I said this, I suddenly understood why no birds and animals had come here.
You must know that this is deep in the mountains and old forests. Shouldn't a cave like this be a paradise for snakes, insects, rats, and ants?
But since we entered the cave, we haven't seen even ordinary snakes, insects, rats, and ants, let alone big ones.
There are no fish or shrimps in this river at all. Is it all because this is the territory of those spiders?
"Stop talking nonsense and leave!"
As soon as the little Taoist priest finished speaking, I suddenly heard a strange squeaking sound.
When I raised the beads in my hand and looked around, I realized that the surrounding stone walls were densely covered with small green eyes.
"Gu——dong——"
I swallowed hard, and the hairs all over my body stood up.
"You go first, I'll stop behind you!"
Looking at those green eyes, the little Taoist hesitated for a moment and then whispered.
Of course I understand in my heart that he doesn't want to drag me down. With his current physical condition, there is no way he can have any other outcome except waiting to die.
"Stop talking nonsense and let's go together!"
While I was talking, I couldn't help but carry him on my back.
"Both of us can't leave with you like this! It's better to die alone than two people, right?"
The little Taoist priest looked bitter.
It's just that we have lived and died together until now, so how could I leave him here now?
"It's too late! I'm afraid neither of us can do it without trying our best!"
While the two of us were talking, the entrance to the cave had been blocked by dense spiders.
Moreover, among these many spiders, there are actually more than a dozen of them, the kind of monsters that originally chased us!
"I'm afraid the two of us are really doomed this time..."
Looking at the flashing blue light on the other side of the river, the little Taoist priest had a wry smile on his face.
"Do you think if the two of us swim there now, will they follow us?"
I licked my lips, suppressed the fear in my heart, and then whispered.
"It's damn time now. If you want to die, just die! Even if I drown, I don't want to be eaten by them!"
After hearing what the little Taoist said, I immediately no longer hesitated.
After tying me with him with a rope, he handed the beads in his hand to the little Taoist priest, and then jumped directly into the river without looking back.
Even after swimming for so long, I was almost at the limit of my physical strength.
But now at the critical moment of life and death, I don't know where I got the strength from, and I can actually swim much faster than at the beginning.
Following the movements of the two of us, the spiders quickly surrounded us, and within a short time, they had already chased us to the river.
What makes the two of us feel desperate is that we don't know how these things make this huge body float on the water.
Each big spider is like a small boat, and their eight legs appear to be extremely fast in the water.
In less than two minutes, the two of us were completely surrounded.
But just when we were about to close our eyes and wait for death, those spiders stopped strangely.
"They seem to be afraid of this bead..."
Being stared at by so many spiders, even the little Taoist priest's voice trembled a little.
"What the hell is this thing?"
I swallowed hard and looked at the dimly glowing bead in the little Taoist's hand. I felt my mouth go dry for a while.
