to blame

Bai Ying took out her gun, thought it was wrong, then lowered her head to look for her crossbow.When he was attacked by the tentacles just now, everything on his body was ripped off.

Holding the weapon in her hand, Bai Ying finally stopped stammering, "Fuck, what the hell is this? Didn't you mean a fishwife? Why does it look like a crocodile spirit?"

Ming Xia once again held down Qingqiu who was about to move on his chest.

He knew the current situation, it was useless for Qingqiu to come out.It can fly, but the monster's tentacles are also flying all over the sky, and the length of the tentacles is enough to knock it down, the little starling who is actually not good at flying.

What if it fell into the river when it was hit?

Perhaps a fishwife wouldn't choose its small body as a target for infection, but would it choke on water?Will it be eaten?

Ming Xia didn't dare to take such a risk.

The huge monster climbed out of the water step by step.

At first, Ming Xia thought it was in the shape of a crocodile or a salamander, but when it showed its head, it turned out that it was not the case at all—his thinking mode was still stuck in the shape of those real animals in nature , but this thing...it doesn't follow the laws of nature at all.

It crawled out of the water in a posture and movement like a salamander, appearing very flexible.

A pair of bubbling eyes resembling a crocodile stared coldly at the front, and the blue-gray back was covered with a layer of smooth and shiny scales. In comparison, it was more like a crocodile's mouth protruding forward, almost clinging to the ground and moving forward , the skin on the face is also covered with blue-gray scales, delicate, cold, and hard.

The strange thing is that Ming Xia didn't see where those tentacles were connected to its body. They seemed to control the river water with their thoughts, and made such a strange weapon for themselves: the river water condensed and formed around it, and then flew high into the air. Raise high, ready to give their opponents a full blow at any time.

With its appearance, the monsters hiding in the river seemed to have received some kind of signal to advance and retreat together, and they floated up from the water one by one.

Around Ming Xia and the others, the high-pressure water cannon attack suddenly stopped, and the sky-high water splashed to the ground one after another, and then flowed back into the river along the slope.

It was only then that Ming Xia noticed that the advancing formation had already been disrupted, and his teammates were all rushed to a farther place.If he hadn't turned back to grab Bai Ying from the monster, he would have gone there too.In this way, within the sight of the monsters, Ming Xia and Bai Ying became the two closest targets. As for whether it regards Ming Xia as its prey or its opponent to snatch the prey, it cannot be tested for the time being.

Nan Jiang's expression changed in shock.However, at this time, the monsters in the river surfaced one by one, and started to climb up the bank as if they had made an agreement. He didn't dare to move around, and he didn't even dare to shout loudly, for fear of arousing their violent reaction.

At this point, whether to fight or not has become a problem.

If they don't fight, I don't know if these monsters will let Ming Xia and Bai Ying run away from their noses.

If they fight, how should they fight? Will they provoke them and attract more of their kind?They have already reached a place not far from their destination, and there are at most two days' journey before they can completely get rid of the threat posed by Xixin River.

At such a moment, can they...can withstand it?

Nan Jiang gritted his teeth and temporarily prevented himself from looking in Ming Xia's direction, "Straight line formation."

"Check your quiver and prepare for battle."

These things don't crawl very fast, and in Ming Xia's view, they may do this on purpose: to increase pressure on their opponents or hunting targets.

Ming Xia no longer intends to run away.

He once saw it on a certain TV program, saying that humans cannot outrun crocodiles on the shore.From this reasoning, it is unlikely that he can run past this monster.And if he leaves his back to the enemy, his situation will be even more dangerous.

Bai Ying quietly moved two steps towards him, "Go, I'll cover."

Ming Xia smiled.He thought the lad was really nice.

Bai Ying blocked Ming Xia behind her, "Hurry up!"

Ming Xia changed to an arrow, an uncoated arrow.Although the situation was urgent, he was in a particularly good mood, "I can't run away, Brother Bai, let's do an experiment together."

Bai Ying consciously wanted to protect the only technician in the team, and was nervous. Hearing him say that, she was shocked and angry, "Why can't you run away? You...you are wasting time."

"Listen, Brother Bai, let's work together." Ming Xia set up the arrow and set up the crossbow to aim at the monster's upper arm near the shoulder. The force will be very strong, I reckon it may be overturned. If it reveals its belly, can you attack its heart?"

Bai Ying understood what he meant almost immediately, the weakness of animals usually lies in the heart and head, Ming Xia was leaving the heart to him and the head of the monster to himself.If it didn't die in this way, then they probably have nothing to do with it. At most, they can delay the time and buy some time for the brothers behind them to escape.

The position they are standing at the moment is probably in front left of the monster's direction.

Ming Xia aimed at the position near the monster's neck and shoulders. Judging from its size and crawling posture, this would be the most vulnerable position.

The arrow was really powerful, and it almost knocked the crawling monster away in the blink of an eye.

The monster jolted slightly, and the entire upper body was turned over, revealing a soft white belly that was not covered by scales.

Almost at once the monster sensed the danger inherent in the position, and writhed violently.

The gravel and sand on the river bank were slapped by its tail and flew everywhere, and the tentacles formed by the raised river water also began to wave wildly.

It was difficult for Bai Ying to aim at the position of the heart, her eyes were fixed on the scope, quietly waiting for the opening that it might reveal.

Ming Xia fixed his eyes on the struggling monster on the river beach, but quickly changed to another arrow under his hand - a coated arrow that interfered with the monster's power.

He aimed for the monster's head.

The monster struggled violently and let out a deafening roar.Just when the onlookers were worried about whether it would turn back, it actually used its tail as a fulcrum and stood up suddenly.

Ming Xia's pupils constricted, and an invisible electric current rushed along his spine to the cerebral cortex.His scalp was numb and his hair was bursting at the ends.

This... what the hell is this monster? !

It is obviously a mixture of a crocodile and a salamander in appearance, but when it stands up, what is exposed under its belly is an upright human figure: a white uncoordinated human body with a complete head and neck, arms and The lower limbs are slightly shorter than normal, and a tail is dragging behind.

What is particularly shocking is its head, which is clearly a human head, with complete facial features, a pair of round eyes showing fierce brilliance, and it even has eyebrows!

"Fishwife." Bai Ying murmured, "The fishwife recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing"."

Ming Xia also recovered after the initial dizziness, "This is different from what Qingqiu told me..."

Qingqiu was also dumbfounded as he picked Ming Xia's lapel.It sneaked up to Ming Xia's neckline just now when he set his bow and arrow and didn't have time to press it.

As soon as the monster stood up, it was also taken aback, and hurriedly grabbed Ming Xia's lapel, "Oh my god, what the hell is this...it's not at all the same as Mr. Hu's map..."

Ming Xia, "..."

It turns out that this little thing is also learning and selling now, and it is not the real appearance of the fishwife who has seen it with his own eyes.

The fishwife walked towards them step by step like an old man toddling, with a stern expression on her human-like face, a tentacle whizzed and whipped not far in front of them, splashing a lot of water. A piece of dust.

The other monsters stopped in their tracks one after another, as if they were waiting to see how their own kind would deal with the enemy after revealing their real bodies.

Baiying was waiting for such an opportunity, aimed at the heart, and shot an arrow.

The arrow hit the heart.

The monster screamed, and all the tentacles waving around it became crazy instantly. They swung in mid-air, fully charged, and then swung straight towards Baiying.

Bai Ying jumped up quickly, pulling Ming Xia back quickly.

The two of them ran all the way to the distance that the tentacle could not hit, and when they turned around, they saw that the fishwife had pulled out the long arrow from her chest, and it was waving the thing that hurt it, howling at them angrily.

Ming Xia aimed at its temple—speaking of which, why does such a monster imitate human beings everywhere? !Although the facial features are a bit out of shape, like plasticine that has not been kneaded in the hands of a child, but the most creepy part is also here: it looks like a human in every way, but it is not human.

Ming Xia shot out with an arrow.

The long arrow deftly avoided the waving tentacles, passed through the tiny gap, and shot into the fishwife's temple with incomparable accuracy.

This monster who seemed to be waving colored silk while walking, seemed to have been pressed the pause button suddenly, froze there motionless, and the tentacles in mid-air seemed to be frozen.

A few seconds later, the tentacles formed by the condensed river water scattered with a splash, as if a plastic bag filled with clear water had burst, and the water sprayed all over the ground.

The fishwife fell to the ground with a bang, her body split into countless pieces the moment she landed.The most surprising thing is that these fragments seem to be alive, they scrambled towards the direction of the river, and soon disappeared into the water.

By the river, the monsters who stopped to watch seemed to be awakened by this sudden change, and chased after them one by one, roaring.Perhaps because they realized that standing upright was of no benefit to them, they cautiously kept their limbs on the ground, flicked their tails and walked quickly on the river beach.

Nan Jiang shouted sharply: "Quick! Quick! Quick!"

Lin Su was protected by the team members in the middle of the team, and retreated towards the woods where a corner of the rock was exposed.Nan Jiang took people to meet Bai Ying and Ming Xia.

Nan Jiang noticed that the speed of these monsters on land was not fast—at least not so fast that they couldn't stand it.They manipulated the river water to attack. Although they caused them a lot of trouble, this level of long-range attack was not difficult for his team members to avoid.

Their most suitable fighting method is to surprise the prey that appears by the river and drag them into the river with the fastest speed.But Nanjiang's group always kept the distance from the river as far as possible, and the attack range of the tentacles was always limited. They had no choice but to choose to go ashore and take the initiative to shorten the distance between them and their prey.

And Ming Xia's arrow played a very good deterrent effect at this special time.

The IQ of these monsters is not high, and they will be nervous and afraid when they see arrows of the same kind. They are just driven by their greedy nature and refuse to give up their locked hunting targets easily.

With one arrow, Nanjiang overturned a fishwife who was about to catch up with Baiying.The arrow pierced into the scales on the back of its neck, and it didn't penetrate deeply into the flesh, but the powerful impact made it unable to turn over for a while.

He looked back at Ming Xia, his face turned pale, and his voice trembled because of nervousness, "Can you still hold on?"

Ming Xia waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, and then shot an arrow with his backhand, nailing the overturned fishwife who was struggling to get up to the ground with an arrow.
