More and more bubbles appeared, and the movement on the surface of the water became louder and louder. The pool was like a pot of water that was about to boil. The mysterious thing had not yet appeared, but the situation was already very serious.
At this moment, Ding Meng suddenly felt a chill go deep into his bones, and all the hair on his body stood on end. This was his natural instinct, and he knew that a great danger was about to befall him in the next moment.
"Xiao Si, back off!" Ding Meng shouted, and the military shovel in his hand had already been swung out.
Xiao Si did not have time to back off, and he did not even see how Ding Meng had made his move. He only saw a flash of sparks in the air, and then there was a "ding" sound, as if two sharp weapons had collided in the air. The force behind the collision was astonishing.
When he took a second step back, two more sparks flashed, and the two clanging sounds made his eardrums go numb. This time, he saw clearly that Ding Meng seemed to have used the shovel to strike something back. At the same time, Ding Meng was knocked back by that thing.
Xiao Si was so shocked that he could not speak. This was the first time he had seen Ding Meng make a move. Ding Meng's reaction was fast, and his strength was strong. It seemed that he was not inferior to Sadler. Such a person was actually inferior?
He was actually sent to this place to do manual labor?
For a moment, he was very curious about Ding Meng.
The machine gun was also very powerful, but he had heard that the machine gun used to be a fugitive, so it was reasonable for him to be strong. But what about Ding Meng?
What did he use to do?
But there was no time to think about these questions. Xiao Si asked, "What was that thing?"
What was that thing?
Ding Meng could not describe it to him at all. At that moment, a black tentacle shot out of the pool, and at the tip of the tentacle was a ghost face that looked like a crab's body. If a normal person had seen this scene, they would have been scared out of their wits.
When the tentacle swept over, two hook-like bone spurs suddenly shot out from the two sides of the ghost face and came at him at an extremely fast speed. If he had not been so focused, he had no doubt that this attack would have directly pierced through his head.
However, the monster had missed its target twice in a row. Under the illumination of the searchlight, it wriggled back into the water.
"You were scratched by this thing?" Ding Meng asked in a low voice.
In the exchange just now, he saw clearly that Ghost Face Mask's bone spikes were like two sharp weapons. The tip of the spikes glowed with a faint green color. The color was exactly the same as the green liquid on Little Four's back.
Little Four nodded grimly. A week ago, he had accidentally stumbled into this place. It was when he was preparing to wade through the pool that he was suddenly attacked by this monster. He didn't have much fighting ability, but living in the base for a long time had made him develop a good habit of staying alert. He wasn't good at fighting, but running for his life wasn't a problem.
However, he was still a little too slow in dodging. The tip of the bone spike cut through the skin on his back, and he fell unconscious for a few days after returning to the surface.
Ding Meng stared at the surface of the water. "This thing seems to be afraid of light."
He actually had a point. The workers all wore searchlights on their heads, so wherever they looked, the searchlights would shine.
When the Ghost Face Mask appeared, the searchlights shone on its face. Then, the Ghost Face Mask changed its direction and twisted its body to evade the searchlights at an incredible speed.
If this had happened a day ago, Ding Meng would have been lying on the ground by now. However, at this critical moment, he didn't forget about his new ability. He quickly activated his unique vision.
Strictly speaking, this vision was like another pair of eyes for Ding Meng. It allowed him to observe his opponent from another angle. That was why he was able to guess that the monster was afraid of light and was able to face the attack head-on. This new ability had something to do with it.
Of course, the base also played a part in this. The base exploited the workers in every way possible. Perhaps it was because they hoped that the workers would be able to excavate for a long time and at high intensity. Therefore, the excavating equipment that was exchanged for the workers was surprisingly high quality.
This shovel was made of high-strength binary alloy. After a long period of excavation, the tip of the shovel had been sharpened to the point that it was as sharp as a sword. It was no problem for it to be used in battle.
If this shovel was also a low-end product like the nutrient solution, Ding Meng would probably have been crushed by the Ghost Face Mask.
"Xiao Si, turn off the searchlights," Ding Meng said coldly.
Xiao Si looked at him in horror. "Brother Ding, we …"
"If I say turn them off, then turn them off."
Ding Meng interrupted him sternly. His gaze was resolute as he looked forward. "If we don't kill it, we won't be able to get through."
Xiao Si was stunned for a moment. He looked at Ding Meng's determined face and could not help but sigh. In the end, he silently turned off the searchlights above his head.
As expected, once the cave returned to the suffocating darkness, the surface of the water exploded, and the Ghost Face Mask came out again.
If Xiao Si could see in the dark, he would probably be scared silly by Ding Meng's next move. Because this time, Ding Meng chose the most unexpected way: he charged straight at the Ghost Face Mask.
If a person wanted to live, the best defense was to attack. Sitting and waiting for death would always be passive.
This time, a series of sparks burst out in the darkness. "Ding ding ding" sounds rang out incessantly. The ghost face was like a venomous snake, tearing at Ding Meng's flesh. Every time the bone spears came from a strange angle, Ding Meng's shovel would always be able to deflect them at the right spot, and his momentum did not decrease at all.
Another "splash" was heard. The surface of the water split open again, and a huge figure stood up.
It was an ostrich like creature. The black tentacles grew out from its back. Its huge body had been hiding under the water until Ding Meng came close. Only then did it reveal its true body.
Unfortunately, it did not know that Ding Meng had already seen its true body. So when the Ghost Face Mask came crashing down, Ding Meng used the momentum of the charge to slide forward and slid between its legs.
Following that was the shovel. The sharp edge of the shovel drew a beautiful straight line in the dark...
This breathtaking and breathtaking attack was completed in just two seconds. It was not until Ding Meng slid far away that the tentacles suddenly stiffened. The Ghost Face Mask let out an unbearable cry. The sound was so distorted that it sounded like the cry of a demon from hell. Little Four could not help but cover his ears.
The ostrich's body kept trembling in the middle of the pool. After turning on the searchlight again, Little Four could see clearly that the moment Ding Meng slid over, the soldier's shovel had cut open the ostrich's lower abdomen. Countless amounts of green liquid poured out, dyeing the pool green.
It was not until the ostrich's body completely collapsed and floated weakly on the surface of the water that Little Four spoke in a trembling voice, "It... it's dead?"
Ding Meng had already reached the other side of the pool and was waving at him. "Come here."
Little Four did not dare to swim across the middle of the pool. The water in the middle of the pool had turned completely green, like a strange poisonous flower, quietly blooming in this terrifying cave...
