Chapter 71 Countless Crazy Eels

These giant snails are about the size of a watermelon, and the big ones are as big as a buffalo. They are all attached to the top of the cave and face down. Tongtong and I looked up at this moment, and it felt like seeing a UFO.

Tongtong couldn't help but marvel at how many!How to catch so many, how to climb so high to catch.Tongtong asked me why all these devil snails climbed to the top of the cave!There is no one on the ground, so strange!What is the reason?Tongtong’s question made me feel that something was wrong. Logically speaking, the giant devil snail is a mollusc, which is huge and inconvenient to move. It usually stays by the river and takes the opportunity to prey on the fish that approach the river for a living.But at this moment, they are all abnormally staying on the top of the cave, it seems that they are avoiding something.

When I thought of this, a trace of inexplicable fear arose in my heart, and the flashlight shone on the dark river surface, as if there was a feeling that there was something terrible lurking in the bottom of the river.

I took Tongtong's little hand and asked her if the river is so wide, it must be very deep, and I wonder if there are any water monsters in it.Hearing what I said, Tong Tong immediately told her to go down and have a look, then went to the river and jumped in.

I waited on the bank for a while before Tongtong got out and told me that the river is not too deep, and the bottom of the river is rocky, which is a paradise for underground fish.However, there was a big hole at the bottom of the water not far upstream. She felt that there was a big guy living in the hole. The thing seemed to be injured and had a strong stench. She didn't go into the hole to look in order not to be disturbed or cause trouble.

I couldn't help wiping my cold sweat, I'd better get the snails quickly!I don't want to mess with these monstrosities and I can't afford to mess with them.It stands to reason that there are large animals underground. There are elephants, hippos, and whales and sharks in the sea. Why can’t there be large animals in the groundwater?

The purpose of our trip into the cave is to find the giant snail brain, other things are nothing, even if there is a box of gold, we have to get the snail brain before moving.

I moved the flashlight from the river to the top of the cave, and asked Tongtong if the top of the cave was so high and the giant snails were tightly attached to the stone, and asked her if there was a way to knock two big ones down.Tong Tong said to try, and then floated from the water to the top of the cave, I immediately asked her to come to the bank, so as not to drop the giant snail and fall into the river and sink.

Tongtong obediently floated to the top of the cave above the river bank, and watched as she stretched out her hand and tried hard to drop a giant snail, but the giant snail seemed to grow together with the stone on the top of the cave.

In the end, Tongtong only dropped a small snail not much bigger than a watermelon. The small snail hit the ground and half of its shell was smashed off, revealing the yellow-brown snail meat and a puddle of disgusting mucus on the ground. .

I took out a sharp knife and walked to the broken shell, and asked Tongtong to come down and hold a flashlight to shine on it. I stepped on the small snail and cut and smashed it. It took me a long time to cut out the snail as big as a grapefruit. .I inserted a knife into the snail meat and cut it open to find the brain, but after searching for a long time, I couldn't find anything similar to the brain. Finally, I cut the snail meat into finger-sized pieces.

Even so, I still haven’t found a brain, I’m speechless, why doesn’t this thing have a brain!How can this be?I kill a frog that has a brain the size of a soybean, and a devil snail the size of a watermelon has a brain as big as a ping pong ball!
I had no choice but to ask Tongtong to find a way to get a bigger one down. I grabbed the flashlight and shone it on the top of the cave. I found that the biggest giant snail was above the river. to the river.

Finally, he found a slightly larger basket above his head, but Tongtong couldn't get rid of it after playing with it for a long time.The slime of these giant snails seems to have a magical reaction with the stone, and it becomes a high-strength glue upon contact. Except for the giant snail itself falling off, it is difficult for external forces to separate it from the stone.

I thought of smoking its shell with fire, but I found that I didn't bring a lighter with me. Even if I did, there was nothing to burn, of course my clothes didn't count.

Being witty, I still thought of a way. Since there is no way to let the giant snails fall, let them be on top. Anyway, what I want is neither the shell nor the meat, but its brain.I handed the hammer to Tongtong, and let her float up to a giant devil conch and smash its shell.Although the shell of this giant devil snail looks like a stone, and its thickness is scary, it is still just a shell, made of a kind of cutin, which is hard but brittle.

Tongtong knocked a few times with a hammer, and finally smashed a snail shell into a hole the size of a fist, and the disgusting and sticky milky white mucus sprayed down like turning on a faucet.When I saw it, I quickly jumped away, only to see that the mucus drenched the whole body of the stalactites where I was standing just now.

Tongtong didn't stop, and continued to knock, broken snail shells and mucus kept falling on the ground, and finally Tongtong knocked off half of the giant snail's shell, revealing the yellow-brown snail meat.

I took out the sharp knife and asked Tongtong to come down and cut it up with the knife, and just cut out the snail brain.Tongtong took the knife in my hand, said yes, and then floated to the top of the cave to cut the snail meat.

When I was having fun watching it like watching someone butchering a pig, suddenly a sharp voice sounded behind me, and I could only hear it say: "You devil, you have really good luck, but what's the use of good luck!"

When I heard the sound, my nerves tensed immediately, I turned around abruptly, and pointed the flashlight at the place where the sound was made just now, but it was empty but there was nothing there.It's that voice again, that thing called the Lord of the Land, it planted a snake spell on me, that's why I went in the cave, but where is it hiding?
I asked Tong Tong where the guy who was talking just now was, Tong Tong stopped the movement of his hands when he heard my yelling, and looked at me with a puzzled face, asking where did the person talk!She didn't hear it!
Tongtong's words made me very uneasy, so sharp and so loud, why didn't she hear it?I was very depressed, and took a flashlight to look around.This feeling is like worrying about someone hiding under the bed before going to bed. The more worried you are, the more you want to watch.

I became inexplicably irritable and urged Tongtong to hurry up. As soon as I finished speaking, my forehead suddenly became inexplicably hot, as if there was a hot water bottle attached to it.He hurriedly touched his forehead with his hand, and found that the snake print that would appear when he wiped water with a willow branch, now swelled up like a mosquito bite.

I touched my forehead and took two steps back in horror. The flashlight was shining on the dark water. Even though it was still calm at the moment, I knew something was coming.Tongtong, who was cutting the snail meat, also felt something, and floated down from the top of the cave. She stood beside me and looked at the river with me.

Sure enough, ten seconds later, a large piece of the river suddenly burst into waves, as if thousands of fish were churning out of the water to chase them.I didn't run, and Tong Tong also looked curious. We all wanted to know what kind of monster would pop out of the river. Five seconds later, a big snake head popped out of the water.

It should be the head of an eel, and then a huge eel came out of the water and climbed onto the bank. Tongtong and I shouted in unison: "It turned out to be an eel!"

Then two, three, ten, thirty, and finally hundreds of eels climbed up, and the river was still churning, and it is not known how many eels did not make it to the shore.Eels are not scary, but the scary thing is that they are innumerable. Even if they were replaced by ants, they could kill an elephant. What's more, in front of four or five meters long eels, I am like a mouse in a cat's eye.

Eels are animals that live in underground caves and rivers, similar to crocodiles in surface swamps. They spend most of their time soaking in water, and their actions on the ground remain unchanged.But why there are so many eels suddenly appearing at this moment, and they all climbed to the shore desperately, I took a breath, touched the swollen snake mark on my forehead, and shouted at Tongtong to run away.

But how can there be such a good thing, not every time we encounter danger, there is a retreat. When we turned around and prepared to run, we found that there were three big yellow and white fat insects at the entrance of the passage coming from the big crack. .

These three big fat worms look somewhat similar to the enlarged version of the maggots, but their volume is tens of millions of times larger. According to visual inspection, the length is four meters, and the diameter of the thickest part of the body is more than 1.2 meters.There are two black fangs about the size of a cow's horns on their mouths, and their heads look like water centipedes, and the sound of a pig being killed is coming out of its throat.

At this time, I was almost frightened, my mind was blank, and I didn’t know where to run when I stopped. Fortunately, Tongtong was well-informed and told me that these things don’t run fast, and let me escape along the river bank. They can't catch up.

After hearing Tong Tong's words, I turned around and ran upstream, but only after running more than 50 meters, another eel suddenly jumped out of the water to the shore ahead, one after another, each hissing.

At this time, behind me were hundreds of eels and three big fat worms, and in front of me were eels jumping out of the water non-stop. On the right hand side was the dark river surface, and on the left hand side was an almost vertical rock wall.Now I know why these giant snails climbed to the top of the cave. It turns out that there are so many dangerous things lurking on the ground and in the water.

The eels in front of us and behind us began to crawl around us. Although I was smart, I couldn't calm down at the moment, my mind was empty, and beads of sweat on my forehead flowed into my eyes.Fortunately, Tongtong was by her side, so she picked up the stone soaked in the giant snail's mucus just now, and asked me if I still remember the last time I climbed the stone wall in the cave.

I said that I definitely remembered that last time Tongtong used the slime from the tentacles of the giant snail to stick the stone to the rock wall of the underground river, and my little brother Qinshou and I were able to climb the three-story cliff to escape.

Tongtong picked up a few stones, floated to the side of the rock wall and started sticking them, sticking one at a distance of one meter all the way to the top of the cave.

These eels are only 30 meters away from me. Although they are powerful in the water, they are not much faster than turtles on the shore. After Tongtong glued the stones, the eels have not yet crawled to my heels.

Tongtong told me to climb up first and then think of a way, otherwise people would be eaten without bones left, and she didn't want her brother who jumped into the river to be eaten.I grabbed the stone while climbing and asked her, didn't you say you can control eels?Tongtong said that she can control ten or eight of them, but she can't do anything about hundreds or thousands of them.
