Chapter 1716 Lake Monster
The moment I saw the shadow's figure clearly, the first thought that flashed through my mind was - a crocodile?
But in an instant, I gave up this idea. No, it was impossible. How could there be such a big crocodile?
The little black bear has inherited the excellent bloodline of the black bear couple. Although he is still a baby, his size is not much smaller than mine. He can stand at least 1.7 meters tall.
However, even so, compared to the thing with only a shadow behind it, it was still like a kayak versus a medium-sized cruise ship.
This is only calculated based on the shadow part of the monster that emerges from the water.
God knows how huge the underwater part of it would be!
The monster didn't seem to be eager to devour the little black bear. It just dragged the little black bear's hind legs playfully to prevent it from moving away from the deep water area.
This kind of behavior is either like a cat, playing with its prey until it is exhausted, and then eating it in one bite.
Or the little black bear is used as bait to lure the black bear couple to rescue, thereby swallowing the couple together.
No matter what the monster thinks, in short, the situation at this moment is like a taut string, and the little black bear may lose his life at any time!
Damn it, we have to make a decision immediately, we can't delay it for a moment!
I turned back and looked at the black bear couple.
The eyes of the Black Bear couple were full of sorrow, but they had no intention of saving their child!
Are they planning to give up on this little black bear? !
"Survival of the fittest," the orc king said in a serious tone: "The black bear did it right. Underwater combat is not what bears are good at. Once buried under the water, the child loses his father, the wife loses her husband, and the family loses its status. Maybe the forest will survive." The king's position must be given up, and the sweet honey and the abundant fresh meat will all come to nothing."
"You're right," I murmured, silently taking off my coat and walking towards the lake step by step.
"Xiao Yi, what are you doing!" The Orc King was shocked.
The black bear couple beside me also roared, and the black bear even rushed over and clasped my arm firmly with a huge paw.
"I want to go into the water, I want to save the little black bear," I said calmly: "As you said, survival of the fittest, yes, on this continent, only the fittest can survive, but there are no rules in nature. I don’t believe in the survival scope of the fittest, why can it dominate the water, how can it control the life and death of the little black bear!”
"If I don't do anything today, I will be very painful and sad. I will even think that I am incompetent, thus losing confidence and destroying my will to be an adventurer." I threw my arm, broke away from the black bear's claws, and suddenly Yiyue: "Today I have to fight hard to let this turtle grandson know who is the fittest!"
I held my breath, feeling the desertedness of the lake, and while condensing my murderous intent, I swam quickly towards the center of the lake.
I know that my behavior is impulsive, but I have to do it.
If it were any other animal, I might choose to watch, or I might simply ignore it. After all, it is the survival of the fittest in nature and has nothing to do with me.
But the little black bear is different. It is the child of the black bear, and the black bear is my brother and my family. I can't just watch my family's children being eaten ruthlessly.
This is not a matter of saving face, but a matter of responsibility!
This kind of responsibility is called friendship and trust!
After taking several breaths in succession, I swam to a place more than ten meters away from the center of the lake. Through the clear water, I could clearly see the appearance of the monster.
It was a monster with dozens of tentacles, but it was not an octopus because its head, similar to that of a crocodile, had a bunch of eyes.
The eyes range from big to small, all have vertical pupils, and each one shines with a cold light. When I stare at it, it also stares at me coldly.
"It's a little bad," I thought to myself.
Suddenly, a surge of water surged up, and a tentacle full of spikes came straight towards me.
These spikes look less like spikes and more like fangs!
After seeing this, I was startled and very puzzled - what does it mean that the tentacles are full of fangs? Could it be that they are used to chew food?
Taking advantage of the current, I pushed hard and passed by the stabbing tentacle. I grabbed the gauntlet forward with murderous intent and touched it directly between the two fangs. Then I exerted force with my five fingers and clasped hard.
After a slightly astringent but elastic touch, I pulled off a large piece of meat on the tentacle.
Blue liquid dripped from the wound. Is that the monster's blood?
Once the blow was successful, I didn't hesitate, threw away the piece of meat in my hand, stepped forward again, and kicked it again.
When I took off the second piece of meat, the monster finally pulled out its second tentacle and attacked me.
The speed of the tentacles whipping in the water is quite fast. I can deal with one tentacle easily for the time being, but it is a bit difficult to deal with two tentacles at the same time.
In a violent attack, my body was scratched by the dense fangs, instantly causing several wounds of about one finger, and the wounds were very deep. Blood spurted out immediately, dyeing the lake around me light red.
Tsk! It hurts enough.
I thought to myself.
At this moment, I finally understood how powerful fangs are, like daggers, they can cause multiple injuries to the body in an instant.
But just this injury is not enough to make me give in.
Little did we know that when I fought against the Minotaur boss, I suffered multiple fractures all over my body and all my skin burst. I only had one breath left. But even so, I still stubbornly crawled out of the dungeon and ended up in a coma at Mr. Taylor's hospital. Before that, he was pulled back from the line of life and death by the old man.
Glancing at the abdominal wound that was slowly healing, I jumped up and emerged from the lake. After taking a breath, I dived down again and launched a new round of attacks on the monster.
At the same time as I launched my second round of attacks, all the eyes of the crocodile-headed monster shot at me at the same time. The cold light was like an icy ray, making my scalp numb from the cold.
But I still bravely swam forward and waved my hands, intending to give it a punch in the heart and pluck some of its round eyes to see if it dared to stare at me again!
Before it even got close to the crocodile head, it was attacked by four tentacles at the same time.
I took a breath, this was really troublesome.
One tentacle can be easily dealt with, two tentacles can barely be dealt with, but I can't stop three tentacles, let alone four!
Although it is difficult for two fists to withstand the four tentacles, now that such a situation has arrived, if you want to succeed, you have to bite the bullet and fight hard. If you don't defeat this strange-looking lake monster, I won't be able to sleep at ease!
Killing intent bloomed all over his body, and the black-red light reached a higher level.
I waved my fist, faced the four tentacles, and rushed over.
The instant collision between the fist and the tentacles caused waves of rapids, blowing some smaller fish around.
Immediately afterwards, the other fist also collided hard with another tentacle that was stabbing in the face. The power erupted during the collision was like a small shock wave, spreading out in all directions.
