Chapter 241 Man-Eating Snapping Turtle
The weird aquatic plants at the bottom of the river and the unknown creature cast a shadow over our hearts.

After the water was clear, we saw a hole behind the original location of the stele through the screen of the device.

However, there are dense aquatic plants around the entrance of the cave, swimming like tentacles, which makes people feel chilling.

"Can you move the probe towards the hole?" Aning asked the boatman beside him.

"I'll try." The boatman manipulated the machine, and the picture on the screen slowly moved forward.

We opened our eyes wide and watched the probe getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave. The cave was pitch black and we couldn't see anything.

The aquatic plants around suddenly moved, as if stimulated, they frantically extended towards the probe.

I stared helplessly at the probe, which was covered by layers of dark green water plants. I don't know if my eyes were dazzled. Before the probe was blocked by the water plants, I vaguely saw a pair of blood-red eyes in the cave.

"Did you see that there seems to be something in the cave?" Fatty Wang's voice was a little nervous.

"Is it the unknown creature that chased us underwater?" Ghost Detective Xu said with some uncertainty.

The screen of the device flickered for a while, and then went black. The boatman patted it with his hand, but there was still no response.

"The wires of the probe may have been torn off by those aquatic plants." The boatman pulled the joystick and recovered the probe.

We looked at each other, the situation at the bottom of the river is more complicated, and now the probe is broken again, and no one knows what to do next.

The mechanical arm that was extended into the water was retracted, and the tip was bare. The place where the probe was originally installed was empty, except for a few exposed wires.

The boatman stared at the charred wires, sighed, and said that the circuit board was probably burned, and the equipment had to be sent for repair.

Even this professional-grade equipment can't reach into the cave to investigate, and the things that Ghost Detective Xu rented are even more useless.

"Well, I'll go down to investigate the situation, and you will meet me on the boat." I gritted my teeth, the cave has already been dug, and I can't back down.

"Will it be too dangerous?" Zhen Qingyi asked with some concern.

"I tied a rope around my waist. If you encounter a situation, please come up to me immediately." After I finished speaking, I began to put on my diving equipment.

"Take the communicator with you, and contact me immediately if something happens." Ghost Detective Xu handed me the Bluetooth communicator.

Everything was ready, I dived into the water, and first carefully explored the surrounding area to guard against the sneak attack of that unknown creature.

After a while, seeing no movement in the water, I slowly swam towards the cave.

After approaching, I saw a large group of aquatic plants in front of me, entangled with each other, wriggling slowly, making people's scalp numb.

I turned on the bright flashlight and shone into the cave, and those scarlet eyes appeared again.

I was startled in horror, gripping the Gouyu sword tightly, and prepared to get closer to see what the hell it was, a warning sign suddenly rose in my heart.

"Be careful, there is something approaching you underwater." Ghost Tan Xu's voice came from the earphones.

I quickly turned around and saw a huge black figure swimming towards me at an extremely fast speed.

I raised my arm and used a bright flashlight to shine on the thing, and saw a ferocious head and a carapace covered with spikes.

"Snapping turtle! How can there be such a big snapping turtle?" My heart tightened and I avoided it.

Snapping turtles are ferocious by nature and very aggressive. The big guy with a diameter of nearly two meters in front of him is even far more dangerous than a crocodile.

I held the Gouyu sword tightly, my heart was pounding nervously, the snapping turtle was swimming extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, it was less than three meters away from here.

Looking at the snapping turtle's sharp teeth and fierce little eyes, I shook my arm and threw the Gouyu sword vigorously.

A green light shot towards the ferocious head of the snapping turtle. I waved my arms clumsily, trying to distance myself from that guy.

The skin on the monster's head was very hard, the Gouyu sword only scratched its skin, and a trace of blood leaked out, but it stimulated the fierceness of the snapping turtle.

I just recalled the Gouyu Sword, my eyelids twitched sharply, and my body subconsciously hid to the side. The water flowed beside me, and the snapping turtle suddenly appeared and closed its mouth suddenly.

The opponent's ferocious head was only less than a foot away from my arm. If I had reacted a little slower just now, the arm would have disappeared.

My heart was jumping out of my throat, and there seemed to be the voice of Ghost Tan Xu coming from the earphones, but right now I was very nervous, and I didn't have time to pay attention to what the other party said.

Seeing the snapping turtle open its mouth wide again, its mouth full of fangs like sharp knives, in this underwater, my speed and the opponent's speed are completely two levels, there is no way to avoid it.

A ruthless look flashed in my eyes, and if I hesitated for half a second, I might lose my life. Almost like a conditioned reflex, I raised my arm, and the Gouyu Sword flew towards the mouth of the snapping turtle.

The Gouyu sword pierced the snapping turtle's throat deeply, and the bright red blood gushed out quickly, but this fierce creature was also tenacious, with its mouth wide open, and it bit me.

I was so frightened that I was so scared that I quickly curled up and kicked the nostrils of the monster.

The snapping turtle took a bite and was kicked in the nostril by me. Using the reaction force, I rushed back quickly.

With a distance of two or three meters, I didn't have a chance to breathe, because the monster chased me again.

I tried to recall the Gouyu Sword, the snapping turtle's body trembled, and it shut its mouth firmly, preventing the Gouyu Sword from flying out.

My heart broke, and I was exhausted with the other party. While avoiding in embarrassment, I kept urging the Gouyu sword.

A trace of blood spilled from the snapping turtle's teeth, and the small eyes of this fierce beast, flickering madly, hit me straight like cannonballs.

The speed of the opponent was too fast, and I didn't have time to dodge it, so I could only quickly turn around and point the oxygen cylinder behind me at the monster.

The huge force knocked me forward, my back loosened, and the oxygen cylinder seemed to fall off.

I used both hands and feet, paddling the water indiscriminately, not daring to turn back, for fear of wasting that second and being overtaken by the snapping turtle.

There was a muffled sound behind me, and a stream of water hit my back, and I spit out a mouthful of blood.

That strong current pushed me to float forward, and the rope on my body was pulled, and my body slowly floated up.

I was so dizzy that I didn't even know what was going on, and after surfacing, I was gasping for air.

A huge black shadow floated up from the side, the carapace on the back was covered with spikes, I was terrified, paddling the water desperately, and dodged backwards.

"Don't panic, that thing is dead." Ghost Tan Xu's voice came from the boat.

I stabilized my mind a little, and looked at the monster, and saw it floating there motionless, and the surrounding river was dyed bright red.

"What's going on, why did it die suddenly?" I asked with lingering fear.

"That idiot bit your oxygen bottle and was killed." Fatty Wang pulled me aboard.

I recalled the thrilling underwater scene, and thought to myself that it was a fluke, if it wasn't a coincidence, the snapping turtle was blown to death by the oxygen bottle, and I was really in danger.

"Let me see if you are injured." Zhen Qingyi came over with concern.

"I hit my back, but it's okay, pull that thing up first." I was concerned about whether the Gouyu sword was in good condition.

The snapping turtle floating on the river was hooked up by the boatman and placed on the deck.

"It's such a big snapping turtle, it's too scary." Aning looked at the corpse of the murderous creature with some fear.

Half of the crocodile's head was blown off, I resisted the pain in my back, walked over, and pulled out the Gouyu sword from the opponent's throat.

This emerald green dagger is harder than I imagined, and it is not damaged at all.

"A few days ago, I heard from the old fisherman that there was a monster eating people under the water. It must be this snapping turtle." A boatman said beside him.

Observing this monster up close, I still have lingering fears, and I don't know how such a thing can appear in the Yellow River.

Everyone surrounded the corpse of the snapping turtle and looked at it for a while. After the novelty dissipated, they began to get busy with their own affairs.

The snapping turtle is dead, and part of the underwater threat has been cleaned up, but the weird aquatic plants are still entrenched at the entrance of the cave.

What's more, the blood-red eyes in the cave made me feel uneasy for some reason, and even Ghost Detective Xu proposed that he go down to explore, but I stopped him.

I have an indescribable intuition, subconsciously feel that the owner of those scarlet eyes is more dangerous than snapping turtles.

Several boatmen squatted aside, overhauling the equipment. Fatty Wang was so heartless and bored that he kept making excuses to strike up a conversation with Li Xiaolei.

My back was injured, and I was lying on a bench to receive Zhen Qingyi's acupuncture.

The matter of exploring the cave has been put on hold for the time being. We can't venture in until we figure out what the hell those blood-red eyes in the cave are.

"Strange, according to the records left by our ancestors, the entrance to the cave is at least safe. Why is it like this now?" Ah Ning muttered to the side.

I'm also quite puzzled about this. According to Mr. Wang, they didn't encounter anything when they entered the cave, so there were some weird things out of nowhere.

It was a little late, and several boatmen checked it out, saying that after getting the spare probe tomorrow, the equipment can be repaired, so we decided to stay on the boat temporarily for one night.

After dinner, I stood on the deck and stared at the village not far away. It was pitch black and there was no light.

"What are you thinking?" Zhen Qingyi walked over from behind.

I shook my head and said that I didn't think about anything. The night wind on the river was a bit cold at night. I was worried that Zhen Qingyi would catch a cold, so I urged him to rest early.

Zhen Qingyi stood with me for a while, yawned, told me to go to bed early, turned around and walked towards the cabin.

I finished smoking a cigarette and was about to go to sleep when I suddenly heard some strange sounds from the side of the boat.

The probe looked around, and it was pitch black below, and nothing could be seen.

I turned around to the side, took the flashlight, and turned it on to shine downwards. My pupils suddenly shrank.

Dense aquatic plants covered the sides of the ship and were constantly extending upwards. These weird plants were like living creatures.

I hurriedly shouted to my companions, these aquatic plants are very evil, I have to find a way to deal with them, and I can't let these things climb onto the boat.

"What's the matter, what happened?" Fatty Wang ran out in a panic, asking nervously.

I pointed to the underside of the ship's side and signaled the other party to look for themselves. Fatty Wang ran over with a puzzled expression, looked down with his head, screamed strangely, and backed away in panic.
