Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 36 Water monkeys, underwater monsters
"I will lead the way in front, and you have to swim behind me." Munro said: "If you see something strange, don't make a fuss, it's best... hold your breath, if you breathe, the Yin Talisman will hold you back." Not long."

Meng Luo jumped into the pool first, followed by me, and then heard a "plop", it was Lao Jiu who jumped in. The water in the pool looked turbid, which made people feel bad. There is a pungent smell of blood, which is really uncomfortable. If you poke your head down to see, the water is actually clear, and the situation at the bottom of the pool is clear. I grew up in the countryside, so swimming is no problem. It is more than enough to follow Munro.

There are quite a few black shadows at the bottom of the pool, some are withered and entangled plants, some are dead animals, sinking to the bottom of the water and turning into decay, I remember Munro’s words, don’t dare to delay, Munro’s swimming speed is not fast It's not slow, it's mostly for us to keep up, the swimming route is not straight, and I turned around after a while. At this time, I heard Lao Jiu's exhalation from behind. He didn't hold his breath and was turning his head. Lifting the water out of the water to breathe heavily, Meng Luo in front could hear it clearly, and suddenly turned around, waved his hands vigorously, signaling not to breathe!
It was too late, I only heard a "gurgling" sound coming from the left side of my body, I turned my head and saw that even in the water, the hairs all over my body stood on end!

Three or four meters away from us, there are a few monkey-like things jumping up and down, the buoyancy of the water has no effect on them, their hair is very long, and every time they jump, the hair on their bodies floats up and down with the water waves. Their body shape is no different from that of a human being. Their heads are like monkeys, their limbs are dry, like dead wood, and they move very vigorously underwater. They run straight up and down in the water, and mainly gather in places where blood spreads. When they stick out their tongues, blood will be contained. The water sucked into the stomach, a greedy look!

Lao Jiu also saw it, his face was exaggerated and distorted, Meng Luo turned back and took his hand, I also came back to my senses, and swam forward quickly, those things have not yet discovered our existence, they just Concentrating on sucking water containing blood, it is not difficult to see their urgency for blood.

I learned afterwards that those things have a special name - water monkeys. According to legend, in the Qin Dynasty in China, there were a large number of water monkeys inhabiting the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin. Playing, but being captured by water monkeys, things got worse and worse, and finally triggered a killing order against water monkeys. Water monkeys were hunted and killed in large numbers. In order to save their lives, water monkeys had to leave the Yellow River Basin and go to Japan , the Japanese call it Kappa.When attacking humans, it likes to attack from the heels, always attacking from the feet first, sucking the blood of living people, until the blood of the whole body is completely sucked!

This kind of creature is powerful underwater. Once it goes to land, it will lose its strength. The gas emitted from its body can make people illusory, and they can do whatever they want underwater. Therefore, we are now in the territory of water monkeys. They They have an advantage over us. Once they face each other head-on, it will be a tough fight. Thinking of this, I can't wait to follow behind Munro, using both hands and feet, and use the fastest speed to get away from here.

Coincidentally, at this time, a burst of blisters suddenly appeared at the bottom of the water, and as the blisters floated up, a stream of thick blood came up from the bottom of the water. Looking at the bottom of the water, there was still a corpse at the bottom of the water. Maybe it was injured and sank to the bottom just now. Yes, right now, there are two things the size of fists lying on the corpse, with their heads bouncing up and down, as if they are gnawing on the corpse. As their movements increase, blood will naturally spurt out. Appearance stimulated the water monkeys, they scrambled to jump towards that place, the bad thing is, this blood is on our left hand side - less than a meter away!

The hair of the water monkey floated along the water, and even touched the back of my hand. Nima, I don’t want to recall that feeling for the rest of my life. There was a coolness from the soles of the feet to the forehead. This nervousness made the swimming posture disordered , the body suddenly sank...

I thought something was wrong in my heart, just when I was flustered, I pulled me with one hand, I saw that it was Meng Luo, Lao Jiu was gritting his teeth and holding on, Meng Luo pulled me, and I finally returned to normal, the three of them The pace is harmonious, and the speed has finally come up!
At this moment, those water monkeys suddenly scattered around, as if frightened, Meng Luo's face changed suddenly, he immediately surfaced and spoke: "The really dangerous thing is coming, hurry up, hurry up!" !"

Is there anything scarier than these monsters? "Wow, wow, wow..." This thing walked underwater, every step of the way, the soles of its feet completely touched the bottom of the pool. That thing, wait, has no feet!
The body of that thing is like the body of a snake. Its body looks very heavy, but it walks very lightly. Its head is oval with two horns, and the horns are very sharp. There are two more holes in it, so is this his mouth, or his nose?

Nima, a water monkey rushed to it in a panic, and the hand that was originally hidden under the body popped out like a tentacles, and then wrapped up a water monkey, and the other hand stretched out and pulled it hard, Divide the water monkey into two directly!Its tentacles are somewhat like octopus feet, but it is much more flexible than that thing, and its attack power is very powerful. Water monkeys also have blood, which is thicker and darker. When the blood is dispersed in the water, the remaining water monkeys squeak Don't bark, just disperse all of a sudden.

My soul is about to fly out, taking advantage of the water waves stirred up by the water monkey, I swim forward quickly, the thing seems to be very sensitive, and it is walking towards our direction, the three of us have a tacit understanding , speeding up one after another, that thing also started to speed up suddenly, and ran towards me. I panicked, and something beside me hit me in the face. The Yin Talisman on the chest actually floated out!
The tentacles of that thing stretched out suddenly, and they went straight to my direction. I used my hands and feet together, trying to get the Yin Talisman at the same time, but everything underwater was so uncontrollable, and the Yin Talisman drifted away from me with the water waves. It was about to wrap around my arm, with a "bang", the thing was blown up, a smell of cinnabar came, and the tentacles of the thing immediately retracted, taking advantage of this gap, I swam forward desperately, behind The cinnabar spread out, blocking the line of sight, and it is completely unclear where the thing is.

Finally, when I touched the rock wall, my heart finally fell down. Meng Luo and Lao Jiu climbed ashore first, and they pulled me up with force. The headlamp on my head was waterproof. , has been loose, fortunately it did not fall into the water, in the dark underground, if the light is lost, it is a terrible thing.

There was blood on the shore, and not far from us, there were still stumps scattered. It wasn’t long before the stumps were separated from the human body, and my fingers were still twitching. The cinnabar bullet was thrown at the monster, and I looked at Munro: "Thanks."

"You're welcome, but you really deserve to be light, and your Yin Talisman just fell out." Meng Luo said indifferently.

This person is really good at rubbing salt in people's wounds, I said angrily: "Yeah, I just met you two because of my horoscope."

The mud on Lao Jiu's face was washed away by the water, his eyes became fierce, he stared at the hand on the ground, the arm whose fingers were still squirming made people dare not look directly at it, he walked so fast Getting closer, the arm was bitten off together with the clothes, no, it should be said to be pulled, and the marks on the wound can fully illustrate this point.

When I swallowed my saliva and regretted wanting to spit it out, Lao Jiu squatted beside that arm, stretched out his hand and pushed up the sleeve of the clothes, and then revealed a tattoo...

Lao Jiu closed his eyes and murmured: "Sure enough..."

The tattoo pattern on the arm is very special, a ferocious tiger head, the big open mouth almost completely covers the tiger's face, behind the big mouth, a pair of tiger eyes are faintly exposed, radiating fierce light, obviously it's just a tattoo, but it's already Full of ferocity, an aura of swallowing people alive.

Tattoos have a long history, and have appeared since the beginning of primitive society. This was originally a custom along the eastern coast in ancient times. The local people never tied their hair, but disheveled their hair, tattooed their bodies, and ate raw food.In the Song Dynasty, tattoos became a symbol of beauty. In the eyes of Song Dynasty people, if tattoos were added to a beautiful character, it would be more beautiful. In the Song Dynasty, there was also an aesthetic competition for body tattoos.

Tattoos are made by using a needle dipped in ink to stab the pattern on the body one by one. Most of the patterns are soldiers and dragons and tigers with heavy social atmosphere. Because the tattoos are only black, the color will turn blue and green after a long time. It is called a tattoo, and this tattoo is no exception. It has turned blue and green. This is the most primitive tattoo pattern. Nowadays, tattoos of various colors can be seen everywhere, and few people have this most primitive blue-green tattoo.

It is precisely because of this that people admire the proficient skills of the tattoo artist. A single color can make the tiger's head so imposing, as if it will rush out to bite people at any time.

"Old Jiu, what is the origin of these people?" I interrupted Lao Jiu's meditation.

He stretched out his hand and wiped it on the ground, and was about to wipe it on his face when he stopped suddenly. If I didn't wipe it off, wouldn't it be a cover-up? Lao Jiu suddenly smiled and said cheerfully: "Let's go, anyway. It's about matching."

He suddenly thought about it, and took the lead to lead the way. Suddenly, there was a "crash" from the pool behind him. The monster that was still moving under the pool just now jumped out of the water, its tentacles flew out, and hit us directly. Suddenly, we were caught off guard. When we wanted to retreat, Monroe's ankle was already wrapped. That force led his body to rush forward, and he was about to slip into the water again!
Looking at the severed limb beside me, as well as the gunshots and screams just now, I suddenly understood why the limb was torn off...
