Was it thrown over here?
still is……
With a trembling heart, Hitzfeld suddenly thought - according to his previous conjecture, this underground cave is connected by tunnels.
They are interconnected! In theory, they can travel back and forth freely!
So that thing didn't necessarily retreat just now.
Maybe you want to change your perspective, maybe now...
He quickly looked up and confirmed that there was nothing unusual in the three nearby cave tunnels, and Hitzfeld breathed a sigh of relief.
But as soon as she turned to look at the other side, she caught a glimpse of Xia Yibing standing there waving at her.
Behind the woman, a shadow slowly rose in another cave tunnel.
With a fishy smell, he bit the prey in front of him.
Chapter 33: Abyss Nest III
This was a fatal oversight, and it is obviously too late to remind people now.
You can't blame Lily. Lily was supposed to guard the cave where the giant eels retreated. This was their own order and had nothing to do with Lily.
At the most critical moment, Hitzfeld instinctively reached out to grab her chest - pinching the metal protrusion inside through a layer of cloth, which was the Ring of Desire hanging on her collar.
Hidden waves descended from the dream world, breaking through all the blockades of reality and directly acting on the giant eel.
"Jigua——" It let out a scream, and just as it was about to bite, it stopped suddenly. It shook its head, and the huge orange eyes on both sides of its head locked onto the girl on the other side.
Even if Xia Yibing was slow to react, she still reacted. Facing the terrifying sea monster that was so close and "ignoring" her, her choice was to cut directly from the side with a knife.
But it cut nothing.
The original form of the Changxia Sword failed to play its role in breaking evil. The sword light flew through the thick scales, and Xia Yibing stumbled because of the excessive force.
The scales in front of her were moving rapidly, but she was losing her balance.
She could guess that it was Hitzfeld who diverted the giant eel's attention at the critical moment, and she also knew that Scales was swimming at this time most likely to reach the other side... So how could she let this happen?
The long summer light allowed her to see clearly at a close distance. She was quick-witted and threw away the knife with her right hand, grabbed the cut on the side of the giant eel's body, and was led into the pool by the swimming giant eel, rushing to the other side with it.
The giant eel rushed towards him with its mouth wide open. Hitzfeld lured the monster away without saying a word and leaped backwards - into another cave.
She really didn't know what was under the cave, but she also knew that it was easy to play like this - strictly speaking, it was very easy to get lost, and the most likely outcome was that she would be trapped to death in the complex underwater cave.
But she has no choice now.
Either jump down and escape now, or be bitten to death by the giant eel.
This time the sliding distance is exceptionally long.
It took her thirty seconds to slide to the bottom. She drew a parabola in the air and fell into another pool. She struggled desperately in the water, looking up and looking back from time to time.
Her divine eyes allowed her to see outlines in the dark more clearly than ordinary people, and she indeed saw it - a giant eel emerged from the shadows above and bit downwards.
"Crack!" But he bit into nothing.
Hitzfeld rolled half a circle without caring about his image. His calves rubbed against a layer of slippery seaweed. He turned over, bent his legs, hooked his upper body, and exerted force - he slid down along the hole symbolized by the seaweed.
This time the tunnel was shorter, and it only took about ten seconds to reach the bottom.
Moreover, her luck was very, very bad. The exit of the cave... after she paddled out of the edge, she looked down and saw that the surface of the pool was actually seven or eight meters higher than this position!
What's even more terrible is that the exit of the cave has a slightly upward arc, which caused her to slip out and be thrown into the air. Before she fell into the water, there was an upward flying motion!
This would be nothing under normal circumstances... it would just be a short period of less than a second of suspension in the air. But now she was being chased by a giant deep-sea eel, and this one second of suspension in the air was simply a death warrant.
Fear forced Hitzfeld to look back in mid-air, and as expected, she saw the worst scene she had expected.
The giant eel popped its head out of the tunnel entrance, locked its eyes on the girl in mid-air, opened its huge mouth full of sharp teeth with a faint fishy smell, and flicked its head towards her to bite her.
Unfortunately, Hitzfeld was in mid-air, with nowhere to gain leverage. It was no exaggeration to say that she was now a living target, like the kind of bait used to feed fish.
Time slowed down at this moment.
Girl in mid-air.
Rippling hair.
A gradually enlarging, terrified expression.
And the bloody mouth that is getting closer and closer.
But the situation changed again at this time.
Gradually, Hitzfeld saw a familiar person above the huge mouth - at the edge of the outline.
Xia Yibing, she followed the giant eel all the way up while pinching the deep cut on the left side of the giant eel. Now she turned over and rode on the giant eel's back. She poked her entire right hand and elbow into the cut, exerted force, and pulled it back.
"Click!"
The huge mouth closed, and the bite was empty because of the pull.
Hitzfeld acted decisively, raised his foot and kicked out, just in time to kick the closed sharp teeth of the giant eel.
The strange touch gave her goosebumps all over her body...but she couldn't think too much about it at this moment.
She doesn't want to die.
At least I wasn't eaten by a monster—
She exerted force with all her might. She had never thought she could have such great strength. She stepped directly on the giant eel's teeth and rushed forward three or four meters in the air, causing the monster's second bite to miss.
Then it started to fall.
Two people, a giant eel... falling together.
"Wow!"
There was a splash of water, and Hitzfeld quickly emerged and swam towards the shore.
The crisis is still not over.
Being in the same pond with the giant eel, this situation might be even worse than before.
"Aisun!"
Hearing Xia's call from behind, Hitzfeld tried his best to turn around and saw the giant eel struggling to jump out of the water. The other party was blocking the monster's wound with his right hand, holding up the long Xia light knife in his left hand, and his messy black hair was dancing wildly in the air.
Their eyes met, and Hitzfeld saw the woman stabbing the long summer knife into the giant eel's back.
——It was quickly pulled out, with no visible resistance.
There was no blood spraying or anything, which means that the original form of this knife is indeed ineffective against the giant eel.
So what did she want to express by doing this?
Oh……
Hitzfeld's brows jumped.
Maybe I understand...
“Ji--quack!!!”
The hand stirring the wound further stimulated the giant eel's ferocity, and it twisted wildly on the water, trying to throw the woman on its back off.
Xia Yibing held on tightly and refused to let go. Unable to shake the woman off, he turned his attention to the young girl.
Hitzfeld was almost ashore by then.
"Aisun!"
Hearing the call, she closed her eyes, and suddenly opened them just as she was about to enter the cave ahead.
He jumped sideways, banging his shoulder and head against the rock wall.
But Hitzfeld still struggled to open his eyes and saw the giant eel dive into the cave.
Xia Yibing still maintained her posture while clinging to the giant eel's back. She struggled to change her posture in the process. Her left hand kept the long Xia knife inserted into the giant eel's spine, while her right hand pulled it out and stretched it towards the girl with all her strength.
Hitzfeld grabbed the rock wall with his right hand and stretched out his left hand, trying his best to grab her.
The two hands touched, intertwined, and clasped fingers in mid-air.
Inertia pulled Hitzfeld forward, and she felt her right hand was about to break.
But the effect was remarkable - the blade that the woman had inserted in the opposite direction became solid again at this moment, and in just a moment, the two people and the giant eel were separated.
The sharpness of the blade plus the giant eel's own forward force combined to cut it in half, causing it to hit its head on the bottom of the cave and begin to howl.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
Hitzfeld's entire body collapsed, and he felt as if there was no part of his body that didn't hurt. He leaned against the woman and gasped loudly.
"Huh... hehe... I finally did it... I killed it!"
The white light went out and she could only hear the woman giggling.
I didn't feel like blaming anyone anymore.
Hitzfeld also knew how much effort and price the two men had paid in order to win this battle.
Now is not the time to talk.
physical strength.
Every extra second of recovery is good.
It took more than ten minutes for the two of them to recover.
They supported each other and stood up again, lighting up the Changxia swords to illuminate the surroundings, but were shocked by the scene before them.
This cave is larger than the above ones.
One side of it is inlaid with densely packed things, I'm not sure if they are follicles. They are embedded in a rock wall full of holes, and as the white light shines through, they are faintly emitting blue light.
"It's a bit... I made a lot of money..."
Xia Yibing shook her head and sighed.
"more than."
Hitzfeld held out his hand to show her the location.
"Look there."
Xia Yibing raised her head and looked in the direction she was going and saw a pitch-black object standing in the middle of the pool of water nearby.
In shape and outline it resembles a tombstone.
Probably what she saw in her dream.
--------
There will be another update during the day.
Chapter 34: Abyssal Nest Four Two In One
With a "splash", Hitzfeld felt his body sink, and the body he was supporting fell into the water, pulling her down with him.
"What are you doing! ...Gulp gulp...!"
After struggling for a while, she finally managed to balance herself in the water, then angrily punched the woman on the shoulder.
"hiss--"
As soon as the white light of the Changxia Sword went out, a burst of cold air suddenly came from the darkness opposite.
All the resentment disappeared at the speed of light.
Because Hitzfeld actually did this a lot. Sometimes women would deliberately tease her in various ways, but not every time they could get the balance right. Whenever they went too far, they would get hammered.
But I never saw Xia react like this at those times. Didn’t she always say that I was too weak and that hitting her was like a massage?
Hitzfeld quickly replayed the process of hunting the giant eel just now, and felt that no matter how sharp the Changxia Sword was after it was materialized, no matter how unscientific it was, the power contained in that moment might not be something Xia Yibing could withstand.
So she wasn't teasing me on purpose? But her body couldn't take it anymore?
Thinking of this, worry replaced resentment in the girl's heart. She fumbled to straighten the man's shoulder, gently stroked the place where she had just hit him, and asked, "Does it hurt here?"
"It doesn't hurt when you touch me."
