Chapter 1833 - 1832: The Lake Monster
The eagle said one sentence, making Qi'er blush, and Su Yang was also extremely embarrassed, quickly saying, "She's not my girlfriend, she... she's my sister..."
"Oh, so that's how it is!" The eagle had a sudden realization, glanced at Qi'er, and for some reason, he felt that there was a touch of disappointment in Qi'er's eyes.
"No matter what, staying here is still very dangerous for you." The eagle said, "If you ask me, pack up some things and run quickly. Those descendants of the Feather Clan will definitely chase you here, and it will be troublesome by then!"
Su Yang slowly nodded, he thought so too. But the problem is, once they leave this place, it would be difficult to find another place suitable for survival.
"Brother Su, should I start packing now if we are to leave?" Qi'er asked.
Su Yang thought for a moment, then said solemnly, "Let's wait a bit, the things we have now are not quite enough, I will bring back the other net first!"
Su Yang had placed two nets in the lake, primarily for catching fish. The other net was located in deeper waters. If they were really to escape, they would need to take more of these white fish on the road, so bringing up the second net would also provide more food.
He took out a rope and firmly tied up the three eagles, then Su Yang went to the lakeside.
Qi'er was tidying up in the hut, preparing for their departure.
When Su Yang reached the lakeside, he took off his shirt and jumped directly into the water. The closer the lake got to the deepwater area, the more whitefish there were, leading to a larger catch.
This time, Su Yang had placed the second net in a relatively deep area, and he needed to swim over to retrieve it.
Reaching near the net, Su Yang dove directly, preparing to move the stone weighing down the net at the bottom.
With a dive to the bottom, Su Yang immediately saw his net, swaying lightly in the water. And at the mouth of the net, there was a pitch-black thing, biting down hard on a white fish, trying to pull it out.
Seeing this, Su Yang was instantly furious, what the heck was this intending to steal his fish?
Looking closely, it was a turtle biting on the whitefish. This turtle was quite large, roughly weighing seven or eight pounds.
Su Yang got behind it, and the turtle was still biting hard on the whitefish, struggling to get out.
Without a word, Su Yang held the turtle's backside and gave a strong push forward, directly shoving the turtle into the net.
Little thing, trying to steal my fish, I'll use you for tonight's extra meal!
The turtle, unexpecting the sneak attack, was bewildered upon entering the net. However, it quickly recovered, racing to the edge of the net, letting out an exceedingly strange cry in the water.
Su Yang was taken aback, and at this moment, two more cries rang out beside him. Su Yang turned his head to look, only to see two turtles not far away in the water, each with a whitefish in their mouths, making those sounds.
"Damn!" Su Yang cursed in his heart, another group coming to steal fish?
He turned and reached for the two turtles, but these turtles were extremely quick in the water. They frantically paddled and soon disappeared.
Su Yang did not intend to pursue them, lifted the net, and considered this haul settled, it was not the time to hold these turtles accountable.
With everything sorted, Su Yang burst out of the water for a breath, then dived back in, only to find several turtles in the distance menacingly swimming towards him. Their manner revealed the turtle clan was seeking revenge.
Su Yang felt speechless, were these really turtles?
However, he did not take these turtles seriously. Although Su Yang had lost his power, it made no sense to be defeated by these turtles, right?
He swam directly over, preparing to strike, when suddenly, a current surged in from the side, sweeping Su Yang away uncontrollably, tumbling him through the water, unable to stabilize himself.
Simultaneously, the turtles quickly rushed up, bit into Su Yang's clothes, and fiercely dragged him to the water's bottom.
Su Yang never expected to be ambushed by these turtles. Being dragged in the water by them left him no time to resist, and he was directly pulled to the bottom.
Upon reaching the bottom, Su Yang saw a colossal creature opening its deadly jaws, lunging at him.
Su Yang was startled and instinctively dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly bite. Upon closer inspection, emerging from a massive rock at the lake bottom, was an enormous dragon head, with that very deadly maw.
Su Yang never imagined such a monster existed in this lake. He was frightened by the creature and dared not linger, immediately wanting to flee.
However, as he turned around, he saw more than a dozen enormous turtles glaring menacingly at him. They were prepared to gang up on him.
Without a doubt, these turtles were commanded by that water monster. Also, the earlier current was likely sprayed out by that monster.
At this point, Su Yang could not be careless. He reached into his waist, drew the short dagger, and fixed his gaze on the water monster.
The water monster did not attack again. It stared straight at Su Yang, slowly approaching him. Its huge eyes bore no killing intent, but were filled with curiosity and puzzlement, as if observing Su Yang.
Su Yang dared not relax a bit, gripping the dagger tightly, he was ready. If that water monster got closer, he would stab it with the dagger.
The water monster gradually got closer to Su Yang, and seemed to finally see Su Yang clearly, its eyes filled with delight. Then, it suddenly rushed forward, its massive head aiming directly at him.
Su Yang was startled, raised the dagger, and thrust it forward.
But the dagger hit the scales on the monster's head like it was hitting a steel plate, unable to penetrate at all. Conversely, the monster, unhindered, reached Su Yang's side, and in Su Yang's astonished gaze, it nuzzled its head against Su Yang's chest.
Su Yang was immediately dumbfounded, thinking the monster was about to attack, never dreaming it would behave this way. What was this? Was the monster being affectionate?
The turtles behind were also stunned, clearly never seen such a scenario.
After a while, Su Yang came back to his senses. Looking at the water monster not far from him, he suddenly found it vaguely familiar.
Could it be he had seen this monster somewhere before?
