Sun Yibo turned his head toward the nearby river, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. Was it an illusion?
Just a mont ago, he had heard a strange sound coming from the river, which had made him feel a bit uneasy, wondering if there really could be a Mountain Monster.
Sun Yibo stared at the river, but all he saw was pitch darkness; nothing was visible, and the strange noise did not sound again.
Sun Yibo wryly shook his head, thinking to himself how he had even let Li Xiang, that idiot, get to him. How could there possibly be such a thing as a Mountain Monster in this world?
Imdiately after, Sun Yibo picked up the roasted at and headed toward Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating's tent.
Shortly after he left, a serrated tail erged from the river, slapped the water, and subrged again, as a sinister atmosphere quietly spread around.
"Xiaoxiao, Yating, I've grilled so chicken, do you want so?" Sun Yibo called out in front of Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating's tent.
Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating unzipped their tent and stepped out, thanked him, took the chicken from Sun Yibo, and were about to head back to their tent.
Seeing this, Sun Yibo quickly spoke up, "Hey, do you want
to teach you hunting tomorrow? I see you haven't used guns before, how about you try?"
"No need, I'm not interested in firearms," Che Xiaoxiao quickly declined without a second thought.
"I don't want to try it either," Zhao Yating also said.
Hearing this, Sun Yibo felt sowhat displeased. Since he had invited Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating, they had always been on guard against him, making him gradually lose his patience.
Damn it, the two of you are really putting on an innocent act. You'd better let
have my way, or you'll regret it! Sun Yibo scoffed inwardly, thinking that if this date couldn't win over Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating, then he planned to force them into compliance.
But while he thought this, Sun Yibo still maintained a gentlemanly appearance on the surface and politely smiled, "Alright, since you don't like it, just watch
hunt then."
At that mont, however, they suddenly heard so commotion not far away, as their classmates ford a group and pointed toward the river.
"What is that? Why is it glowing?" a girl said, looking at a dim light in the distance. The light, partly subrged in the water and partly floating in the air, appeared very mysterious.
"Shit, could it be so kind of water monster?" Adong said mischievously, trying to scare the girls.
However, the girls just disdainfully looked at him, and so even mocked him, "A water monster? How old are you?"
Adong was left speechless, as girls these days were really getting harder to fool.
Then, Old Tian picked up a beer bottle and threw it toward the dim light; it landed a few centiters away, causing ripples on the water.
"No reaction? What the hell is that thing?" Old Tian was also filled with curiosity.
"Who cares what it is, if it dares to co over here, we'll blast it!" Adong snorted coldly, loading his gun.
At that mont, Sun Yibo and Che Xiaoxiao also walked over. After hearing everyone's remarks, Sun Yibo felt a bad premonition, his gaze settling on the dim light in the distance, his face turning sowhat somber.
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, the dim light moved, emitting a pale blue glow, and slowly swam toward the shore.
"Hey, hey, hey, it moved. Old Tian, you probably hurt it just now with that throw, and it's coming for revenge!" Adong joked, unafraid, ready to end whatever it was if it posed a threat to them.
Old Tian also grew nervous, loaded his gun, and aid at the approaching dim light.
The pale blue object drew closer, while its half-subrged tail also sank beneath the water surface.
Seeing this, Sun Yibo suddenly rembered the Mountain Monster Li Xiang had told him about, his expression turning frantic as he stepped back a few steps.
At that mont, Che Xiaoxiao noticed Sun Yibo's subtle movent, furrowing her brows as she suspected that Sun Yibo might know sothing.
The dim light stopped two ters away from the shore, remained motionless.
"It stopped?" Adong was initially puzzled, then tentatively aid and fired at it, but the object didn't move.
"Damn, I thought it was a real sea monster. It's probably so kind of glowing garbage," Adong sneered, sowhat disappointed, then turned around and waved everyone off, "Alright, let's go, nothing exciting here, just so glowing garbage, probably sothing like a plastic bag or whatever!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the river behind Adong suddenly surged, and a massive black silhouette with a blue glow fiercely sprang from the water.
At that mont, everyone was instantly stunned.
The scene that t their eyes was one that shattered their worldviews and defied all reason.
It was a ferocious monstrous fish, with a head as large as a cent mixer, its appearance hard to describe. Rather than resembling a fish's head, it looked more like a lion's head, covered with various disgusting blisters, densely packed and oozing dark green pus, causing one's skin to crawl.
It looked like a fish, but had limbs with webbed forelimbs, those softly glowing parts—shockingly its tail!
Its appearance was bizarre, as if a mishmash of wild beasts and fish had been shattered and pieced together, utterly mismatching in every way.
At this ti, it was gaping its uneven, sharp-toothed maw, biting towards Adong.
Adong's lips still bore a smile, completely unaware of the looming danger.
And the pupils of the crowd dilated in terror at this mont, watching Adong in horror.
"Swoosh!"
A strange noise, and before Adong could even scream, the monster bit off two-thirds of his body, leaving only his severed legs still standing there.
Silence! A dead silence!
"Ahhhhhh..."
A heart-wrenching scream suddenly pierced the night sky, jolting the already petrified crowd awake.
"What on earth is that thing?" Old Tian exclaid in terror, retreating several steps and collapsing to the ground.
"It ate Adong... It ate Adong..." A girl muttered in shock, also terrified out of her wits by the scene.
At this ti, if anyone was most shocked, it naturally was Sun Yibo. He couldn't believe that there actually was the Mountain Monster Li Xiang had spoken of. How could this be possible? How could such a thing exist in this world?
Sun Yibo had always been a skeptic of paranormal claims, until he saw that scene.
That creature was definitely not a creature that should exist on earth, at least not any creature known to humanity.
With a body like a fish, a head like a lion, limbs like a monkey, and feet like duck's webbed feet, how could such a thing possibly exist in this world.
Sun Yibo was utterly petrified, his first thought was to flee! The farther, the better. Li Xiang had said that creature had already killed many, and if they continued to stay here, they might be killed too.
But Sun Yibo was rather cruel, he didn't tell everyone what it was, nor did he urge them to escape quickly. One reason was to shirk responsibility, and the second was to use these people to buy him ti to escape, considering they were so close to the shore, the monster would likely kill them first.
"Sun Yibo, where are you going?" Just then, Che Xiaoxiao noticed Sun Yibo was trying to escape, and she quickly yelled out.
With these words, everyone turned their gaze towards Sun Yibo.
Sun Yibo's expression stiffened suddenly, and his figure froze on the spot.
"Sun Yibo, you know what that thing is, don't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be running. What exactly are you hiding from us!" Che Xiaoxiao glared and demanded angrily, and with a death already occurring, the situation had beco very serious.
"I don't know, I don't know anything, don't ask
anything!" Zhang Yibo shouted angrily in embarrassnt, picking up his shotgun, ready to leave.
At this ti, he naturally couldn't admit he had been aware of this beforehand, otherwise he would face legal action for his responsibility.
At this point, he didn't even care for Che Xiaoxiao and Zhao Yating. With such a situation, surviving was the most important thing—who could still think about flirting?
But Old Tian couldn't just watch Sun Yibo leave, he directly grabbed his collar and roared, "Sun Yibo, are you even human? Adong and I treated you as a brother, and you knew there was danger here yet still brought us? You killed Adong!"
"Let go of ! I need to get out of here!" Sun Yibo was in no mood to listen to anyone or deal with anything; he just wanted to leave this damned place, as far away from that monstrous creature as possible.
"If you don't give
an explanation, you're not going anywhere!" Old Tian roared, gripping Sun Yibo's collar and refusing to let go.
"Fine, I'll give you an explanation!" Sun Yibo's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, he suddenly pressed the barrel of the gun and pulled the trigger aid at Old Tian's thigh.
"Bang!"
A gunshot rang out, and Old Tian fell to the ground, clutching his thigh and wailing in pain. At such close range, the bullet penetrated deeply into the flesh and into the bone, blood gushing profusely.
Everyone was shocked, none had expected Sun Yibo to be so heartless and cruel, even willing to harm his own brother!
