Chapter 572 Hearing the Sound
"Boss, what should we do?" After a few discussions, the police officers all turned to look at their captain and asked.
"Don’t worry, I’ll go and ask for the situation first." The captain’s surname was Chen, and he appeared to be in his thirties. After speaking to his men, he walked towards Shangguan Wenbin and the others.
"Who just reported the incident?" Captain Chen asked.
"It was me!" Shangguan Wenbin stepped forward and then said to Captain Chen, "My sister and brother-in-law were swept into the lake by the big waves. Please, help save them."
"Don’t rush, tell me about the situation at that time," Captain Chen reassured Shangguan Wenbin. He also wanted to rescue them, but with the current waves so high and unclear circumstances, he dared not rashly send his men in.
"Alright!" Shangguan Wenbin also understood that, given the situation, he couldn’t see even the traces of Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng; even if they could be seen, the waves were too big to go in. Even if they’d brought a speedboat, it would most likely capsize once in the water.
After Shangguan Wenbin relayed the events to Captain Chen, Captain Chen couldn’t help but frown. Could it be that there really was something in the lake?
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but ask Shangguan Wenbin, "Previously, you said there was something in the lake, did you see it with your own eyes?"
"No, I didn’t."
"Then how do you know?"
"It was my sister who told us."
"Didn’t see it, huh!" Captain Chen was a bit disappointed, originally thinking Shangguan Wenbin had seen it himself, but it turned out he hadn’t.
It seemed that the talk of a monster in the water was most likely false.
But just as this thought flashed, suddenly a roar echoed from the lake. Captain Chen was startled, and quickly turned to look towards the lake’s surface.
Didn’t he just hear it wrong, was there really something in this lake?
Shangguan Wenbin and the others were also taken aback, they had been here for a long time, and it was their first time hearing a sound like this. Could it really be that Jiang Xue was right, that there was indeed something in this lake, and it was a fierce kind?
If that were the case, then Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng were likely in grave danger now. Thinking of this, the faces of the elderly turned pale, silently praying together for a miracle, praying that Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng were still alive.
"Boss, boss, there really is something in the lake, we heard a sound," Captain Chen’s subordinate also heard the commotion and immediately exclaimed loudly.
Captain Chen didn’t ask Shangguan Wenbin again but returned to his comrades, staring at the place on the lake where the waves were most intense, deep in thought.
If there really were something in this lake, what could it be, and would it hurt people?
The situation where Shangguan Wenbin called the police was unknown to Jiang Xue, nor did she know that the police officers had arrived. In an effort to save Mu Qiancheng and prevent the Water Monster from devouring him, she pushed herself to the limits.
Even though her body was exhausted, she relentlessly attacked the Water Monster. Fortunately, Little Fox joined in, which eased some of her burden.
However, as time went by, Jiang Xue felt she couldn’t hold on any longer. But Mu Qiancheng still hadn’t been rescued, she couldn’t collapse, she had to persevere.
As for Mu Qiancheng, after waiting a while in the Water Monster’s belly without any movement, he finally dared to venture out and moved towards his original position.
Once there, he took out his military dagger again and stabbed relentlessly at one spot, regardless of anything else. Though the Water Monster had thick skin and rough flesh, its belly was one of its weaknesses.
After several consecutive stabs by Mu Qiancheng, its belly was finally pierced, spilling blood.
Being injured caused the already irritable Water Monster to become even more savage, with a murderous aura permeating the entire aquatic area.
