Chapter 101: The most intense struggle and the most dangerous choice
But how could I give up on Volma? He had helped us in a critical moment, was a very interesting and likable guy, and most importantly, was our friend. If I gave up on him, I would never forgive myself.
But Volma let go of my hand one by one, his tears and snot all over his face, and he even started babbling: “Sacrifice oneself for a greater good is the spirit of Taoism, Master, I will be sublimated…”
“Shut up!” I yelled, then grabbed Volma’s wrist. But without his own strength, I was having a hard time.
Over there, a giant snake with a strange color had already climbed onto our deck, or rather, half of its body had climbed onto the deck, spitting venom. I had no doubt that it would attack the next moment!
My shout of “Shut up!” turned the giant snake’s attention to me, and its cold eyes fixed on me.
But I didn’t care about that. I said to Huigen, “Grab Volmar! I’ll try to save him.”
Huigen immediately agreed, then rushed over, carefully lying down, using his belt to hold the railing of the deck, then grabbed Volma’s back with one hand and Volma’s arm with the other, but at the same time he exclaimed, “What a big guy!”
Seeing that Huigen had grabbed Walma, I let go of Walma’s hand, then stood up, took a spear, and ran toward the edge of the deck. On this chaotic deck, I could always feel a coldness locking onto me, causing a series of goose bumps to inexplicably rise on my back. It must have been the snake, right?
At this point, no one could help except for me and Huigen, because the sudden intrusion of the giant snake made everyone avoid it. In addition, it was lying on the deck, and except for me who grabbed Volma at the beginning, and Huigen who rushed over quickly, no one else could get over!
We are cultivators, but we are not hunters after all. We didn’t know how to deal with such a huge snake for a while!
Therefore, I must save Volma. Volma’s hope lies in me.
Thinking of this, I roared and rushed to the edge of the deck, where I finally saw clearly that the giant fish that had bitten off one of Volma’s legs was not a catfish. I didn’t even know what kind of fish it was. I’m not an expert, and the creatures under the water are too strange. I only know that this fish is very big, so big that only its ferocious head is visible above the water The only thing that was visible above the water was a hideous head, somewhat like a catfish, but not at all. The key point was that at this moment, one of Walma’s thighs was in its mouth, and its sharp, tiny teeth were tightly biting Walma. Blood flowed from the wound and flowed over the entire fish’s head, making the fish even more terrifying.
“Fuck, let go!” I yelled as I raised the spear. Undoubtedly, the wound on Wal-Mart had irritated me, making me unable to help but swear. At the same time, I raised the spear and began to aim at the big fish.
However, because Walma was in the way, it made it more difficult. No matter how I aimed, I didn’t think I could kill the big fish without hurting Walma.
“Chengyi, my leg is almost broken,” came the weak voice of Volma from under me.
“Brother, that fish is exerting itself! It’s so powerful! I don’t have time to use my magic, I can’t let go of it.” Hui Gen’er’s voice also entered my ears at the same time.
The situation was chaotic. I held the spear, and a drop of sweat fell from my forehead. What should I do? I could not accept not only the loss of Walma’s life, but also the loss of Walma’s leg here.
What’s more, by coincidence, my eyes and the fish’s eyes met. I don’t know why, but I read a mocking emotion in its eyes, and it wasn’t afraid of my spear at all!
At that moment, Walma’s desperate face, Hui Gen’er’s flushed face, and the cold and sarcastic eyes of the strange fish swirled violently in my mind. I almost bit my teeth to pieces, and a wave of anger was simply uncontrollable.
At this moment, a loud voice suddenly exploded in my ear, “Chengyi, be careful!” I turned around and saw a huge snake head appear next to me in the blink of an eye.
The open mouth, the sudden rush, the upright body, the cold snake eyes… I only saw that it was my brother Chengxin who was calling me, but I was too serious about thinking about the situation in front of me just now. How could I be careful at this time?
I fell heavily onto the deck, my nose was hurting from the impact, and I immediately started bleeding. At this critical moment, it was Uncle Johnny who suddenly pounced on me, pulling me away from the snake’s sudden attack!
But once the snake starts attacking, it won’t stop. After missing the first strike, it immediately twisted its body and swept towards me again… and I didn’t even have time to stand up.
“Ah!” A roar came, and I saw a figure leap up and suddenly embrace the snake’s body, stopping it in its tracks!
It was Tao Bai. At this moment, this shy boy took action. Under his short sleeves, his muscles bulged up one by one. At this moment, he actually chose to fight this big snake!
The snake was suddenly held below the head, first stunned for a second, and then began to roll violently, obviously trying to shake Tao Bai off its body. But Tao Bai roared while tightly holding the snake with his arms, and his legs also clamped the snake’s body with great force. Then he freed one hand and began to punch the snake hard with one fist after another.
Tao Bai’s strength was not small, and the snake was probably stimulated by the pain, and began to roll around the deck in a disorderly manner, occasionally even lifting its head. No one could keep up with the fierce speed of the man and the snake, and even if they wanted to help, they couldn’t.
The deck began to shake again as the man and the snake fought. It all happened in the blink of an eye!
But I didn’t care about that anymore. I shouted, “Tao Bai, hang in there!” Then I stood up, threw off my shoes, picked up the spear gun, and rushed to the edge of the deck!
At this point, Wal-Mart had no strength to speak, and just looked at me with a pitiful look! Of course, the big, nasty fish was also watching me…
As if in response to my provocation, it suddenly began to move violently as a lion that is eating its prey, biting and shaking its head to tear off a piece of tough meat.
The fish’s movements were even more exaggerated, churning up large amounts of water and even almost leaping out of the water with a small section of its body!
“My leg…” Volmar let out a weak cry, and cold sweat instantly covered his face.
I had originally wanted to take some safety precautions, but I didn’t care about that anymore. I had accumulated too much anger, and it had completely exploded. I roared again, took the spear, and jumped into the water without hesitation!
“Brother!” Hui Gen’er shouted.
The sound of my diving into the water and Hui Gen’er’s shout clearly attracted the attention of most people. At the moment I fell into the water, I heard Xiao Chengqian shout, “Chengyi, this water is hell. Are you crazy?”
The water in this part of the river was even colder than I had imagined. The moment I entered the water, I felt a layer of goosebumps all over my body from the chilling cold. The inertia of rushing into the water made me sink for a while. During this sinking process, I barely opened my eyes and saw a huge shadow in the fierce current, as well as many… giant… shadows not far away!
I could only see so much. The huge shadow was the big fish that had bitten Wal-Mart. It was much larger than the giant catfish we had encountered in the deep pool. I even thought that this body shape should be possessed by sharks or whales.
With a splash, I surfaced. The Penglai was traveling at a very high speed, but fortunately, I didn’t fall far because I only fell in the water for a moment.
I could see Tao Bai still fighting the snake on the deck, and I could see everyone’s bodies sticking out of the railing, shouting something at me… But I didn’t care about anything, and I didn’t even have time to wipe the water off my face. I held the spear in one hand, almost using all my strength, and burst out at this moment, swimming towards the strange fish and Volma, not far… just about two meters away!
I must save Wal-Ma, and my body, the goose bumps have not gone away at all, I know in my heart that it is not because of the cold river water, but because of this huge sense of crisis that envelops me.
Xiao Chengqian was right. This water is hell!
