The crowd had not yet reacted, and the golden-yellow corpse worm king on the shore let out a loud roar, its neck arched, and with a sudden bow, it leapt into the water. Instantly, the surface of the water was split into two waves, shooting towards the wooden raft like an arrow.
Several people on the boat were shocked and lost their color, they no longer had a hostage. What to do now? With the corpse worm king approaching, Zhuo Xiong hastily raised his shotgun, "Bang!" The sound of the gunshot echoed throughout the cave. This shot was aimed at its head, with Zhuo Xiongs marksmanship, it was impossible to miss from this distance.
As expected, the corpse kings body sank down and disappeared into the water. Under the spotlight, a black bloodstain began to spread on the surface of the originally somewhat murky river water, emitting an extremely foul odor that was hard to bear.
Chaozi held up a wooden stick serving as an oar and said: "Did I hit it?"
Zhuo Xiong looked at the hunting rifle in his hand and the bloodstains floating on the waters surface, although he still had lingering fears, but for this type of buckshot specialized in killing large animals, he was still very confident.
"At such a close distance, an 800-jin wild bull can be knocked down with one shot, let alone a small insect."
The calm and bloody water surface, however, could not easily relax the vigilant heart at any moment. Cha Wenbin pinched the weapon in his hand, tensely sensing every move in the water. A cigarettes time had passed, except for the occasional slapping of waves against the wooden raft, the entire cave was quiet. Thinking of that huge tongue just now, there must be something unknown hidden under the water. At this moment, Cha Wenbin only wanted to leave here quickly, urging: "Hurry up and move forward, dont make too much noise."
Zhuo Xiong inserted the wooden stick that served as a paddle into the water, pulling it back and preparing to lift it up. However, he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldnt pull it out. He thought maybe it was stuck on something underwater, so he pulled with all his might. With a loud "splash", the paddle left the waters surface, and a huge head also emerged along with it.
With a "crack", the wooden stick snapped in two.
"Ah! Its not dead yet!"
Cha Wenbin and Chaozi turned their heads to look, yes, that dead silkworm king did not die! There were several wounds on its skull that were bleeding black blood. Under the illumination of the spotlight, this golden shining dead silkworm raised its head backwards, its huge pincers already open, and in just one second, its attack would be able to kill Zhuo Xiong instantly.
Just as the Corpse King finished its preparations for attack, a loud "whooshing" sound was heard, and the massive tongue burst out of the water once again, shooting straight towards the Corpse King floating on the surface. With a swift motion, the front section of the tongue had a huge "flesh tumor" that resembled a grappling hook used by Superman, which swung around the Corpse Kings body in a full circle, wrapping it entirely.
Three people on the wooden raft were staring blankly, and for a moment they forgot to be afraid. After the corpse worm king was tied up, it turned its head, gave up its attack on Zhuo Xiong this time, and instead lowered its head. A pair of black pincers accurately bit down on the tongue wrapped around its body.
The tongue seemed to have known the result in advance, and with a "swoosh" sound, it detached from the body of the silkworm king and returned to the water bottom, leaving the pincers empty-handed.
The Corpse King was apparently furious about the scroll taking its childs "tongue", constantly moving its body on the water surface, splashing water flowers that made Zhu Xiong in front a dripping wet chicken.
Cha Wenbin saw something wrapped around it and quickly said: "Its unknown whether its an enemy or a friend, lets hurry up!"
Chaozi and Zhuoxiong desperately paddled with the wooden stick in their hands, but unfortunately, the speed of this wooden raft was really not worthy of praise. The corpse king vented for a while, seeing his arch-nemesis about to escape, he suddenly rushed towards them.
Seeing that there was no place to hide now, Zhuo Xiong simply closed his eyes and thought to himself, "Just give me a quick and painless one."
"Whoosh!" Another loud noise, and a wave of icy river water drenched Zhuo Xiong to the bone. Opening his eyes, he saw that the corpse worm king was now being bitten by a huge mouth, its body clamped tightly in place, while its pincers were fiercely pinching the back of something else.
For a moment, the water surface was turbulent, and a huge white belly kept rolling in the water. It wasnt until then that Cha Wenbin saw clearly that it was a giant toad biting the corpse of Wang.
This toads body is enormous, almost the same size as this small wooden raft. Except for its appearance, it can only be said that this is a full-fledged monster. The golden back is covered with seven bumps, arranged exactly like the Big Dipper, and the pattern on the top of its head is different from ordinary toads. Its a naturally formed Tai Chi diagram, half black and half white, with a pair of green eyes the size of copper bells sitting perfectly on the diagram, forming two dots! The wide mouth can be estimated to swallow a living person in one bite, and the patterns along the upper and lower sides of its mouth correspond to a string of copper coins. Moreover, this toad only has three legs!
Facing such a huge creature, Cha Wenbin exclaimed: "Three-legged Toad!"
Zhuo Xiong, who was completely absorbed in the fighting scene of the two monsters in front of him, did not hear Cha Wenbins exclamation at all. Instead, Chaozi, who was closest to him, asked: "What did you say?"
"Look, its the three-legged toad! The legendary three-legged toad! According to ancient texts: It is said that the toad has three legs and lives in a cave on the moon, and is a celestial insect."
"Immortal insect? I think its a monster! And look at all these strange things down here, which one of them looks like a good kind?" Chaozi said to Zha Wenbin.
"The place where the three-legged toad lives is always a treasure land, and there must be treasures to attract it. In Taoist Feng Shui, its believed that the toad can gather wealth and prevent money from flowing away. This three-legged toad can also ward off evil spirits and has the power to subdue ghosts, which is why it cant coexist with that wicked silkworm. I think the insect earlier didnt dare to enter the water because it knew its natural enemy was present and didnt want its children to be bitten, so it got angry and rushed down the river."
The battle on the waters surface was intense, and it seemed that the three-legged toads back was also impenetrable. No matter how hard the Corpse Silkworm King tried to tear at it with its pincers, it continued to bite down on the Corpse Silkworm Kings body, constantly rotating its own body in the water, its white belly flipping about in the water. The murky river water once again floated up threads of black blood. Needless to say, the Corpse Silkworm King was already injured.
Seeing that his own back was ineffective in tearing and biting, the Corpse Silkworm King raised its head again, spitting a cluster of black silk threads from its mouth towards the three-legged toads eyes! The eyes are usually the weakest part of the body, but the three-legged toad reacted quickly, closing its eyes, and the two clusters of black silk were shot onto its eyelids.
The Corpse Silkworm King raised its head again, its exposed body bent to the limit, and fiercely slammed into the back of the Three-legged Toad. It was clear that it had used its greatest strength this time. With a loud "boom", a pair of sharp pincers finally pierced through the Three-legged Toads back, causing the onlookers in the distance to let out a burst of exclamations. Zhuo Xiong shouted: "Ah! The toad has been bitten!"
A pipe-like object protruded from the mouth of the Corpse King and inserted into the back of the three-legged toad that had been bitten open, and then countless black silk threads began to spread out on the back of the three-legged toad. Chu Zis heart was shocked, this should be the scene after the monitor was bitten that day. This kind of black silk thread is extremely toxic, thinking in his heart: its all over.
As expected, the three-legged toad was in pain and shook its back vigorously, but at this moment, the Corpse Silkworm King had already bitten tightly onto it. No matter how hard it struggled, it couldnt shake it off. This caused the wooden raft that Zhang Wenbin and the others were on to start shaking violently. At this moment, Chaozi really wished he had one more bullet. If he could fire another shot at this time, he estimated that the insect would basically have no chance of winning. Thinking of this, he couldnt help but feel regretful. Why hadnt he brought a few more bullets when they set out?
Seeing that it couldnt shake itself off, and in pain, the three-legged toad opened its big mouth. The silkworm king saw that it could escape, and with a flash of its body, it finally left the toads mouth, but the middle half of its body was already covered in wounds. It seemed that this three-legged toad had grown some sharp teeth. The insect twisted itself around like a snake, wrapping its entire body around the toad, and still tightly biting onto its back.
The black threads on the toads body were getting more and more entangled, and if this continued, it would soon become a cocoon. Suddenly, the toad opened its big mouth again, and its huge tongue slapped onto its own back, rolling up a layer of black silk, which was then brought into its mouth. With its eyes closed, Zhang Wenbin clearly saw its throat twitching as it swallowed those black toxic threads! It seemed that wasnt enough, as it continued to lick the threads on its body with its tongue, and soon all the threads that were still entangled on its body had entered its belly.
The corpse worm king on its back was still biting crazily, possibly because the three-legged toad had lost interest in playing with it. The muscles on its back suddenly contracted, and the originally swollen belly also caved in. Zhang Wenbin saw this and hastily shouted: "Everyone be careful, protect your eyes!" As soon as he finished speaking, the toad suddenly arched its body again, and a jet of white liquid was sprayed from the warts on its back. One of the warts was exactly where the corpse worm king was biting, and the white liquid happened to be shot hard into its mouth...
When everyone opened their eyes again, the Corpse King had fallen onto the waters surface and was floating there motionlessly.
"Good use of poison against poison! Truly worthy of being a legendary treasure!"
That three-legged toad, obviously uninterested in the few people on the wooden raft, slowly circled around the corpse of the silkworm king, a pair of copper bell-like eyes scanned the wooden raft, and then bit down on the silkworm kings corpse. With its three legs splayed out, it dove into the water, leaving behind only a circle of ripples that gradually grew smaller...
