This time I really can't blame myself for being timid!!
These piranhas come out in groups, they are simply the overlords in the water. Although they are small, their bite force is not small at all. They can tear off a large piece of flesh from a person in one bite. If you are surrounded by these things, they can eat a living person into a skeleton in a short time.
There are probably at least hundreds of those things under the water. At this time, we can only run and swim forward. If we can swim out of this underground river, it's our luck. If we can't get out... it's our fate!
So, I called everyone to escape as soon as I rushed out of the water. Maybe it was because my action came suddenly that they were stunned.
"Run!"
I yelled again: "This is a piranha. If you don't run, you'll die!"
This time, they finally reacted. Lin Qing was the fastest. He pushed the slippery stone wall on the left side of the underground river with both hands, and used the force to cross over. Just like a mermaid, he jumped into the water and swam out.
Following closely, Qingyi and Cao Yuan also moved. The fat man had one arm dislocated. Although it had been reattached, he was still inconvenient to move, so Yi Shiting dragged him to run. The most ridiculous one was Zhang Jinya. The piranha was still hanging on his nose. Once it bit him, it would not let go. Zhang Jinya tried to pull it off for a long time but failed. When he heard me say that another piranha was coming, he didn't care about continuing to fight with the piranha. He was in pain and cried out like a mad dog. He doggy-paddled in the water and rushed forward. The splashes were more than one meter high, just like an electric speedboat.
Zhou Jing swam at the back. Although he could swim, he was a child after all, with small arms and legs, and his strength was not fully developed. How could he swim fast?
When I saw his posture, I knew that he would be surrounded by piranhas and eaten clean sooner or later! !
In terms of fighting ability, I may not be good enough, but in terms of underwater, I am absolutely good. I worked hard to learn how to swim. If you encounter some large carnivorous aquatic creatures underwater, stay still, don't provoke, and just leave it to fate. If the other party is not hungry, then congratulations, you can survive. If the other party is hungry, then very good, no matter how good you are at swimming, you can't escape! And if you encounter some extremely ferocious fish, then there is only one way - swim forward, don't turn your head, and try not to let it bite your throat, because once the throat is bitten, it means that a hole is opened in the trachea, and the air held in the chest will be released all at once, and the person will not be able to float on the water, and the end is death! !
In Zhou Jing's state, if he is caught by piranhas in the water, he will not be able to survive!
I had no choice but to hold him and paddle forward with one hand. In order to ensure that Zhou Jing's neck was always tilted up and not bitten by the piranhas, I even held his waist with my right hand to support him. This not only wasted my energy, but also slowed down my speed. Soon, I felt that there seemed to be many small "torrents" under the water hitting my body. I knew that these were the piranhas catching up. The "torrents" that hit me were caused by their rapid swimming in the water! !
All of a sudden, even I was a little panicked. I paddled hard to rush forward, but it was still a little late. When I rushed forward for fifty or sixty meters, I suddenly felt a pain in the root of my thigh. It felt like I was pinching my flesh with pliers. I couldn't help but scream "ah" at the pain.
Being bitten, needless to say, the thigh must be bleeding, maybe a piece of flesh was torn off!
For a while, I struggled harder to support Zhou Jing and swam out. I was bitten from time to time. The pain was... heart-wrenching!
However, in order to survive, I couldn't stop, so I had to struggle harder. Gradually, I found that the river water that poured into my mouth while swimming had a hint of rust. It was the smell of blood, a unique smell of living blood just flowing out. It was probably the blood from the people swimming in front of me!
Unfortunately, the underground river was dark, and I turned off the strong light flashlight. I couldn't see the situation of the people in front of me at all. I could only hear their screams echoing from time to time in the dark underground cave.
I don't know what happened to them...
I was worried about them, and I was also anxious about my own situation. I didn't know how long this underground river was, and where there was a shallow beach to land. If we couldn't find a shallow beach for a long time, we would definitely die here!
I had gone through all the hardships, but ended up here. It was really unbearable to think about it...
"Brother Tian, leave me..."
At this time, Zhou Jing, who I had been holding all the time, suddenly said to me: "Brother Tian, I really can't hold on anymore, it hurts..."
His voice...weak and indescribably weak!
I was startled, and while paddling forward with the water, I turned my head to look at Zhou Jing. The distance between us was relatively close, so I could still vaguely see his face. Although it was just a hazy outline, that face full of pain and even a little distorted hit me hard like a heavy punch. For a moment, I felt a blockage in my heart!
"Hold on!"
I gritted my teeth and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't give up, Brother Tian will take you out of the sea of fire and swords!!"
"Brother Tian... I really can't stand it!"
Zhou Jing's voice was already crying: "They bite me, it really hurts, I can't hold on, just leave me here, without me dragging you down, you might be able to survive."
"Bullshit!"
I couldn't help but roar: "I can't abandon you until I die!"
"Brother Tian, don't be stubborn, you are too stubborn, this will make you go astray in the future."
Zhou Jing said weakly: "I have calculated before coming here, we All of us may die here. From the moment we stepped into Hami, I couldn't see the fate of our group clearly, which means that a disaster will befall us. Maybe I will die, maybe you will die, maybe everyone will die, so I have already guessed the current situation. Brother Tian, don't worry about me. I am very happy to follow you during this time. I finally have a brother to protect me, but I can't drag you down and die here with me. You still have a lot of things to do. Don't forget your ideals..."
My vision is a little blurry, and my eyes are sore. I don't know if it's tears or the river water that entered my eyes and hurt my retina.
Hesitated, struggled...
After a while, I finally made a decision in my heart!
Without saying anything, I pulled Zhou Jing to the right side of the stone wall, and pushed him against the slippery stone wall before saying: "Xiao Jing, hold on to the stone, don't let go!"
Zhou Jing may have thought that I was finally going to give up on him, and there was a pale smile on his face.
But can I really give up on him?
Absolutely not. I had experienced abandoning my companions once in Luomashan! !
I took a deep breath of the damp and moldy air into my lungs, took out a strong flashlight, turned it on, and dived into the water. Only then did I finally see Zhou Jing's situation clearly.
On his slender and tender legs... there were more than a dozen piranhas hanging. These things were biting his flesh, swinging their bodies constantly, trying to pull his flesh down, and streams of black and red blood were oozing out of the wounds! ! !
However, Zhou Jing didn't say a word from beginning to end. He was still a child! ! !
I didn't know what it felt like. After biting the flashlight in my mouth, my right hand suddenly pulled out the Baipi knife from my waist, grabbed the piranhas biting Zhou Jing and cut them in half. I didn't dare to pull them. These things would bite the flesh and refuse to let go. If I pulled them, the flesh would be pulled off. I could only cut them to death with a knife first, so that they wouldn't flutter and pull the flesh, and Zhou Jing wouldn't be so painful.
"Brother Tian, don't worry about me..."
Zhou Jing was sobbing softly, and every word he said was like a knife stabbing into my heart, making my heart bleed!!!
"Xiaotian, go!"
At this time, Hua Mulan's somewhat anxious voice sounded in my heart: "Another group of strange fish are rushing towards you!"
I turned my head subconsciously and was immediately shocked - in the short time I wasted, another group of piranhas caught up with me, and they were stimulated by the bloody smell on my side and rushed towards me in unison!!!
