Chapter 240 Killing the Water Monster
Before everyone could come back to their senses, someone made another sound, "Mmmm Gululu"
This person was next to the one being swallowed. Seeing their friend disappear, they turned and ran, terrified. However, they were too slow, and the monster bit them at the waist, dragging them backward. Their oxygen tank fell off, and their entire front half was submerged. They drank a bellyful of water. After struggling for two seconds, blood and water spread, and the monster rolled its tongue around them, swallowing them.
The others then saw clearly what was coming and realized that running was useless, so they could only counterattack head-on.
The monster's size was its advantage, allowing it to swallow its prey whole, leaving it with nowhere to escape. But here, its size became a disadvantage. Its body was the same size as the entire dark river cave, making it impossible to turn, not even slightly. It could only move horizontally, making it easy to do anything to it.
I don’t know how the water monster got in, and I can’t figure it out.
Everyone leaned against the cave walls on both sides, waiting for the black water monster to come.
The person closest to it took out the big knife he carried with him, without using any special powers, and simply pointed the blade outward, waiting for it to come over and die.
The imagination is beautiful, but who would have thought that when the water monster approached, the scales on its body suddenly opened up and became sharp blades with spikes.
Not only did the man holding the knife fail to cut the water monster's flesh, his knife was also cut by it. He himself was unable to move forward or backward and was squeezed into a meat patty. His death was extremely unbelievable.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the others quickly evacuated and no longer dared to stick to the sides. They all used their special powers to attack it, but the special powers were like hitting cotton and were completely useless.
Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi looked at each other, gestured to their friends, and stopped right in front of the water monster.
Seeing this, the water monster didn't need to do anything, just open its mouth and continue swimming. In a place where no one could see, its pair of small green eyes were full of contempt for stupid humans who only served as food for it.
Through its open mouth, everyone could see the dark and bottomless esophagus, smell the bloody and foul odor in its mouth, and their stomachs churned.
As the water monster approached, Lan Shiruo put her arms around Ao Chengyi's waist, and the azure water ball wrapped around the three of them. The ice-blue and crystal color formed a sharp contrast with the black dark river. The water monster jumped forward and swallowed the entire ice-blue water ball into its stomach like a whole apple.
The friends quickly stepped forward, blocking the way in front and using their special powers to stop the water monster from moving forward. Otherwise, if it went too far, they wouldn't be able to find anyone.
Zhang Yun covered the water with her hands, forming a thick layer of ice that continued to extend deeper into the water. The ice layer became thicker and wider. The water monster was stunned. Could it not swim anymore?
He Lian poked his head out of the water, his lips slightly parted, and a sound, too subtle for ordinary hearing, emanated from him. It extended in circles, heading straight for the two invisible holes on top of the monster's head. He Lian guessed that those were probably his ears.
The water monster shook its head, looking a little painful, and made a cry like a baby crying. It didn't sound sharp or angry, but just very impatient.
There was a lack of oxygen here, so He Lian couldn't use it for long periods of time and could only breathe intermittently. Fortunately, the intention was to block it, so it didn't get in the way. Therefore, it didn't completely anger the water monster, but only made it more and more irritable.
Ding Jiajia didn't believe it and swung the wind blade again, but the wind blade landed on the water monster's tough scales and couldn't even tickle it. It was completely useless. She simply stopped attacking to avoid wasting her supernatural power.
Feng Tao, Duan Jianghe and Han Qingquan did not waste their special abilities. They stood quietly by and waited for an opportunity to act.
The hawk perched on the general's back. It hated wet places, and even more so, water. This completely restricted its movement, and it wanted to leave quickly. So it looked at the water monster with a particularly cold look, wanting to scratch it with its claws. However, it was in a difficult position, and the hawk was depressed.
The mastiff was also frustrated. Its high spirits, its red fur flying in the wind, now clung to its body. There were also many nasty bugs burrowing in it, and it couldn't get rid of them. It was so angry that it wanted to roar to the sky. The sad part was that it had to carry this stupid bird on its back. If it had known earlier, it would have let it stay outside so it wouldn't have to carry such a burden.
The eagle and the mastiff were both depressed about their tragic fate, and their claws were ready to move.
Situ Weikui and Ni Yueping led their teammates to run back and forth, wanting to help, but found that they had no idea where to start. No one in their two teams had ice-type abilities, and their earth, wood, and gold-type abilities were completely useless. They were really weak.
Along the way, they deeply experienced what waste is. Together with the Dragon and Phoenix Team, they showed their weakness and stupidity from the inside out and from top to bottom. This feeling is so good, so good that it makes them cry.
Inside the water monster's belly, Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi peered at the monster's innards, which were also pitch black, covered in a layer of black mucus. This mucus seemed to have an erosive effect, leaving numerous pits on the surface of the water ball. Lan Shiruo could only continuously gather energy to protect the three from harm. Through their own weak light, they also spotted the two people who had been swallowed earlier. Their flesh had become pitch black, like the surface of the moon, with pits and craters everywhere, and their condition was tragic.
The messy things swallowed by the water monster were almost corroded by the black mucus and turned into new black mucus circulating throughout the internal organs.
There was no air in their stomachs, so they both wore oxygen masks the whole time. They communicated with their eyes and acted in tacit understanding. Lebao was still sleeping soundly, completely unaware of the dangers of the world.
Going down the pitch-black esophagus, they encountered various black lumps of meat, which might be its internal organs. No matter what they were, Ao Chengyi threw Ding Jiajia's black beans on the black lumps. Lan Shiruo wrapped them with several layers of water balls to prevent the black beans from being corroded before they got out.
Ao Chengyi gestured: Let’s go.
The hot musket penetrated the water ball and pierced the inner wall of the water monster's body. Where the water and fire met, they actually merged together, and the water ball was not broken at all.
One end of the musket pierced the water ghost's flesh. The inner flesh was not as hard as the outer flesh, and there was no scale armor to protect it. The pain forced the water monster to open its mouth and howl in pain. The sound was like a baby's cry, resonating and echoing in a closed passage. Everyone felt like they were covered by a ringing bronze bell, shaking from the inside out, their blood surging, and they had to move away quickly.
The water monster crashed into the wall of the dark river in pain. The ice was vulnerable and shattered. The force was so great that it was like an earthquake. The ground within a mile radius was shaking. Fortunately, it was still some distance away from the city gate. Although it was affected, it was not enough to panic.
The moment the water monster opened its mouth, Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi rushed out of the stinky mouth, fell into the water, and jumped forward without stopping.
Ding Jiajia turned around and pressed the inconspicuous little button in her hand, "boom"
With a muffled sound, the entire underground river passage buzzed, and the echoes were like muffled bells knocking in everyone's heads, which was extremely uncomfortable.
The ground shook from the explosion, creating a widespread tremor. Outside the city gates, everyone jolted awake in surprise, alerting their surroundings. The guards on the towers' walls were pounding with their hearts, wondering if they should pull the alarm. They also thought it was their bad luck that something had to happen when it was their turn to stand guard. They were terrified.
Fortunately, the shaking was only momentary and soon calmed down. No one could find the cause, but everyone was still in shock and would not be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
