Chapter 10 Invisible Opponent

Section 10 Invisible Opponent

The distance from the highland is only 100 meters, but it took a lot of effort to walk to the edge of the stream. This is much more difficult than walking in the jungle. It can be said that it is difficult to walk. At first, the stone still relied on the sharpness of the iron ruler and walked more than ten meters along the way, but the closer it is to the stream, the denser the bushes are, almost staggered. If you are not careful, you will fall down and gnaw the mud. In the end, the stone will be big on fire. He simply pulled out the thick-backed guillot on his right shoulder and began to clear the way. The 35-pound guillow was as light as nothing in the hand of the changed stone. Under the left and right sweep, the branches and leaves flew across. Suddenly, a path paved with broken branches and leaves appeared in front of him. In less time, he came to the stream and the stone put away the guillow. He pulled out the iron ruler with his backhand and looked solemnly at the stream covered by rattan in front of him. After the end of the world, even bats can mutate into beasts. I don't know what monsters will be generated in the stream that has existed for hundreds of years. The stone dares not take it lightly and carefully observes everything around it.

It's very quiet around. There was such a big noise just now, and I didn't see any animals coming out. It seems a little wrong. In return, the water still has to be taken. The backhand broke a wooden stick with a thick forearm, and the stone opened some vines. A fresh water vapor came to the nose, which was refreshing. Taking out the bamboo tube, the stone did not boldly go directly to f for water. Instead, it tapped the water with a wooden stick and splashed everywhere. A white thing jumped out of the water and bit the wooden stick. The stone easily dragged it onto the shore. After looking carefully for a long time, the stone was sure that this was an ordinary one. The Diaozi fish is only ten times larger. The round body is as thick as the calf and as long as the arms. Why does it look like an eight or nine catties? After doing it for a long time, this guy loosened his teeth. His mouth was full of dense triangular teeth, which looked creepy. If he was bitten by this guy in the water, it would really kill him. I quickly got rid of the idea of taking a bath in the river. After knocking on the little guy with a stuffy stick, the stone began to fish again. These guys are really stupid. Maybe the wooden stick was stained with blood of the same kind. After a while, he got seven or eight more, and the stone became impatient. After a while, he found a fine vine tied it and threw it to a bamboo tube and threw it into the water. This time, it was no different. It's common. Filled with water, the stone began to pick up these mutant fish, went to head and tail, removed the fish scales on his body, and directly opened the belly, making his hands full of blood. Wang Cai, who was also honest this time, squatted aside and watched all this.

The fish has been cleaned up, but you have to wash it. Looking at the fish heads with big mouths still in one piece, the stone did not dare to put his hand into the water and throw a fish head into the water. The water suddenly boiled and chirped continuously. The stone looked at the fish's head and was suddenly eaten up, and his heart was full of chill. What should I do? Alas, never mind, just do it. Stone sighed, wore the fish into a string of fine vines, and returned to the high place along the open path, full of frustration.

Maybe it was because I was in a bad mood. The roasted fish was not as delicious as I expected. The stone barely ate half of it and could no longer swallow it. On the contrary, Wang Cai swallowed it wolfed it. In a blink of an eye, he ate the remaining fish and stared at the leftover half of the stone's hand. The stone couldn't laugh or cry. He threw the fish in his hand to Wang Cai and scolded, "What a foodie. I'm not afraid that the fish's bone will get stuck in my throat!"

After a break, he and Wang Cai got back some shrubs and rattans, and the stone began to build a simple house. The four sharpened wooden piles were nailed into the ground with a guve of knives in four directions, then tied the rattans to the four wooden piles in circles, and then covered the surroundings with shrubs, leaving only an entrance and exit, and an open-air house was completed, and the stones spread some dead branches and grass evenly on the ground. This is them. The bed and looked at the sky. There was still a meeting before the evening came. The stone simply got out the roof. Although it was only one night here, it was also idle. At least, the closed house would always make me feel more secure.

After finishing these, the sky had darkened. One beast leaned against the hut and sat on the ground. Looking at the moon slowly rising in the distance, the stone suddenly felt a little homesick. He missed his grandfather, missed his parents who had never met, and stared at the green jade in his hand. He didn't understand why his parents threw him, even There was no clue left for him. Looking at the quiet Wang Cai, he didn't understand why Wang Cai was with him at the beginning, and what happened to the box containing strange insects? He has too many questions in his mind, but he can't answer them. One day... one day I will figure it all out!" He said this to himself in his heart.

The sky is full of stars, the sound of insects everywhere, and the night has finally come. Stone and Wang Cai got into the hut, covered the exit, and lay on the ground for the most comfortable night after leaving the house.

When the day was bright, the stone stretched out and sat up and got out of the room. The air outside was very fresh, with a damp smell. The rising sun was red, hanging in the air, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful. The weather was very good. The stone muttered to himself. Looking back and still no movement behind him, the stone took a deep breath and whistled loudly. A golden shadow flashed, and Wang Cai appeared beside the stone, and the lingering sound in the valley was still echoing. It's much faster than before!" Stone touched Wang Cai's head with approval, turned back to the house, packed his luggage, finally glanced at the room and walked along the path to the stream.

Aw..." Suddenly, Wang Cai's alarm sound came from behind him. The stone was shocked, turned his wrist, and he was already holding the knife in his hand. Wang Cai, who was still behind him, jumped to the edge of the stream, lowered his head and sniffed around him, and got into the bushes next to him. He couldn't see his figure. He could faintly see the branches and leaves shaking in the distance. Suddenly, there were a few short calls, and branches and leaves shook. Moving more fiercely, the stone's face suddenly changed. He threw the barnacle behind him to the ground, clenched the knife handle with both hands, and waited to see what was going on. But after a few steps, the stone had to stop and could not move forward at all. The shrubs here were more dense. He had to whistle several times. Stone was calling Wang Cai back, but this time, Wang Cai seemed to be tripped by something. Stone shouted Wang Cai's name anxiously and repeatedly. Seeing the bush collapse in the distance, the stone could no longer care much and rushed up with a knife. It took a lot of effort to get to the center of the battlefield. Wang Cai stood there and took a selfie of the floating earth on the ground. The stone was stunned. He looked around and found nothing unusual, but there was a large pool of water stains under Wang Cai's feet, and the stone frowned. He could be sure that there must have been something here just now. But how can you retreat unscathed under today's Wangcai's claws? Stone glanced around again. Indeed, there was not a trace of blood left. It seemed that Wangcai's opponent this time was not simple!

returned to the place where I was fishing yesterday. Stone was shocked to find that there were two more small animal skeletons here, while the fish belly intestines that had been left on the shore disappeared. Maybe the two little beasts smelled blood and came here to eat those intestines, and then went to the river to drink water. A little beast ate it. After thinking about it, Stone felt that there was something wrong. After carefully looking at the two skeletons, the stone found an unusual place. The two skeletons were too clean and too complete. Most importantly, not a drop of blood could be found on the ground. Seeing this, the stone couldn't help looking at the fish head beside it. Yes, these fish heads are the same. There are no broken traces, but they can't find any flesh and blood. The stone pulled out an iron ruler to pry open the gills, and even the inside is empty. The stone is puzzled. What monster eats so clean? But no matter what, there will always be blood seeping into the ground, which is too unreasonable. Stone looked at Wang Cai squatting aside and really wanted to ask him what he saw just now.

Standing up, the stone recovered the rattan box that had been thrown away, straightened up the luggage, carefully looked at the direction of the water, and continued the journey upstream. This time, the stone no longer dares to leave the stream too far. Even if there is no road ahead, it can only swing the way and stop all the way. The journey is very slow. Wang Cai rushed to the front, threw the stone far away, and stopped behind for a long time. The stone didn't know what was wrong with Wang Cai, but he felt that Wang Cai was very abnormal, and he couldn't help but be vigilant. Finally, I came to an open area. The vegetation here is relatively sparse. The vines that can be seen everywhere have disappeared here. The stream has become much wider, and the water flow seems to be much deeper. Looking at the sun, it is already noon. The stone feels that it should stop here and repair it before starting.

Take off the rattan box, the stone took out the bamboo tube, called Wang Cai, fed it water, and took out another bamboo tube and poured water with a big mouth. The cool stream flowed through the thirsty throat. The stone suddenly felt that the hot body was much more refreshing. He shook the bamboo tube, washed his face with the rest of the water, and carried two An empty bamboo tube came to the stream.

The water here is quite clear, and you can see the scattered small stones at the bottom of the water. The stone settled down. There was really nothing abnormal. Then the bamboo tube was filled with water. Wang Cai beside him had already followed him and drank water. After a while, he shook the drops of water on his head and got into the stream. There was no reason in the stone's heart. Tightly, he just wanted to call Wang Cai to go ashore. When he saw that the water had just passed Wang Cai's legs bent, he put down half of his heart. He knew that this guy usually loves to be clean. Even if it snowed, as long as there was no ice in the lake, he would still get into the water and swim naked happily. This time, he followed himself. I'm afraid he hasn't been here for a week. When he was happy, the stone did not stop it, but carefully stared at the movement in the water. The crossbow in his hand was tightly held and had already been pulled on the bow.

Maybe he has experienced several dangers in the past few days. Wang Cai did not stay in the water for too long this time. He turned around and was ready to go ashore. Stone saw that Wangcai had already landed half of his body, and his nervous heart suddenly relaxed. At this time, the change suddenly emerged, and Wang Cai suddenly roared, but it seemed Being dragged into the water by something, the stone could see it clearly. There was nothing unusual in the clear water. At this time, the stream tossed and became more violently. With the continuous roar of Wang Cai, the stone began to realize that something could easily drag four or 500 catties of living things into the water, let alone mutation. After that, he was extremely fierce and prosperous. But the stone can clearly see clearly. There is nothing else in the water except the struggling wealth. He didn't care much. The stone suddenly shot six crossbow arrows at Wang Cai's side and roared again. Wang Cai finally broke free from something, rushed to the shore, turned back and roared into the water. Throw away the stone*, operate the knife with the right hand, hold the iron ruler in the left hand, and stare nervously at the water. There was no movement, and the stream was still flowing slowly. The surroundings were as quiet as before, as if everything just now was a dream. Stone felt an unprecedented pressure. There must be something hidden in the water, and it will never be too small, but he can't see it. Stone stepped back two steps and came to Wang Cai's side. Wang Cai, who was still alive just now, was already overwhelmed and lay on the ground and gasped constantly. The stone threw away the things in his hand, slowly stroked Wang Cai's back, comforted it, and carefully checked Wang Cai's body. Wang Cai was indeed injured. The whole hind legs on the right side of his body were blurred, and he lost a large section of skin. The white flesh and blood soaked in the water were ** like this. Stone was distressed, from childhood to large. Wangcai has suffered such a great crime. The stone was angry and rushed to the water. It slashed at the stream. The water splashed everywhere, and there was still nothing. The stone slowly calmed down, turned out the end of the medicine from the rattan box, and carefully sprinkled it evenly on Wang Cai's injured leg. He hated it with hatred. Seeing that Wang Cai felt much better, the stone tore off a piece from his body. The cloth was carefully wrapped up for Wang Cai.

Stone decided not to leave. On the one hand, he wanted to wait for Wang Cai to get better, and on the other hand, he wanted to avenge Wang Cai by killing the invisible guy. If he wants to get out of the jungle, he must follow the stream, but there is such a terrible guy hidden in the water, which makes him feel at ease. Going forward, he may be overgrown with bushes and hindering him. If the invisible guy suddenly launches an attack, the stone is not sure at all. Instead, it's better to kill it in this open place. Thinking of this, the stone began to look around again. There was a forest on the other side of the river, but the stream was seven or eight meters wide. Although it was not too deep, he did not dare to go into the water when the current situation killed him. And not far behind them is a bare stone hill. It seems that they can only build the hut at the foot of this hill tonight, but the wood is on the other side, which is a little difficult to do. After thinking about it, the stone helped Wang Cai to move to the foot of the hill, far away from the water, which gave them a sense of security.

I'm a little hungry, but now is not the time to look for food. I must make a shack and sleep outside before dark, which undoubtedly exposes myself to danger. The stone cut down almost all the useful vegetation around him, simply made a shelter from the wind and rain, spread soft grass on the ground, and carefully put Wang Cai in and settle down. Then he came to the stream with a knife and walked back and down the river bank a few times. The stone was stunned and found no living things, but found it at the bottom of the river. Many fish skeletons, the stone stretched out a knife and stirred in the water. When the turbid water slowly recovered and clarified, the stone was completely lost its way. He wanted to give up, but he was unwilling. Looking at the sky slowly getting dark, the stone was anxious. He stretched out his left hand and pulled it on the blade. Suddenly, blood gushed out, and a drop was sprinkled into the water without waste. The stone clenched his fist, held a knife in one hand, and nervously watched the movement in the water, and his eyelids did not dare to blink. Time suddenly slowed down, and just as the stone was about to lose patience, there was a movement in the water. Like the water that was about to boil, bubbles burst up from the bottom of the water, and then many fist-sized things came out from the bottom of the river, and the water suddenly became turbid. At this time, the water splashed, and the stone saw something drilling into the turbidity. When the water clarified again, the stone saw it, that is The kind of mutant fish caught last time, but this guy seemed to have a thicker waist. Looking at the big guy opening his big mouth and revealing his fine triangular teeth, he shuttled back and forth in the water. The range was always inseparable from the bloody area, and the stone surged a chill in his heart. These guys actually turned out to be blood after mutation. Such a fanaticism! Dare to say that the fist-sized things that just emerged were all destroyed at that moment. The stone stretched out its left hand and began to ooze blood from the wound. The stone shook its hand, and a few drops of blood flew to the trickle fish. Just as the blood droplets had just touched the surface of the water, the mutant tricky fish's tail shook, opened its big mouth, shot directly out of the surface of the water, and fell down with a splash, and the stone plan In my heart, after waiting for a long time, only this fish emerged. It seems that let's catch it as bait first, insert the knife on the ground, find a relatively strong-looking wooden stick, tear off a piece of cloth from the body, wipe the blood stains of the left hand clean, wrap the blood-stained cloth tightly around the front of the wooden stick, and carefully put the wooden stick Reaching into the water, as expected, the stupid fish directly bit the cloth strips and was pulled out of the water. The stone opened its belly with an iron ruler, directly threw the bloody belly into the water, and kept stirring the water with wooden sticks. After a while, the water became lively. Three or three taels of fish swam here. What made the stone strange was that they were all mutant tricky fish. There was not a single miscellaneous fish, and the stone couldn't take care of much. They directly teased those mutant tricky fishes competing for their stomachs with wooden sticks. After a while, they pulled up four and a half. After these guys were dragged ashore, The belly was directly opened by the stone, and the intestines were thrown into the water as bait. The fish gathered more and more, but they failed to attract the guy who dragged Wang Cai into the water. The stone threw away the wooden stick early in the morning and held the iron ruler in one hand and watched the movement in the water. Suddenly, the fish that had just gathered together for food panicked and scattered around. The stones could see clearly that there was nothing wrong in the water, and their stomachs were still half floating in the water, but no more fish came forward, and the stones began to be nervous. The fish sensed the danger and were reluctant to leave the beauty. Food, but where is the danger? Did the invisible guy appear? The stone stared at everything in the water for fear of missing any details. At this moment, the water surface fluctuated, and the two close tricky fish suddenly kept rolling up and down, and the fish tail kept **, as if something bound them, and the surrounding fish suddenly dispersed just now. But there is nothing around the two fish. After knowing that his eyes have mutated, it is impossible to see it wrong. There is only one possibility. The monster can be invisible, but how can this be possible? Even if the chameleon can imitate the color of the surrounding environment, as long as it is moving, it is not difficult to find it in the water. The thing is obviously eating, but I just can't see it. In this time, there has been a change in the water. The two fish slowly stopped struggling and suspended in the water. The stone clearly saw that there was more color and light red in the water. The stone knew that it was fish blood, but why didn't it spread? Instead, it gathers in one place and gradually becomes thicker and darker. This was in the water, and it was constantly flowing water. The stone became more and more surprised. At this time, more strange things happened. The bodies of the two mutant fish were constantly melting, and there were only two skeletons left in a blink of an eye. The stone was stunned, and only two fish bones slowly sank to the bottom of the water before they recovered. Then he remembered what his grandfather once said: "In this world, invisible opponents are the most terrible!"

Night came, and the fire beat, throwing two long shadows into the distance. The stone was roasting fish, and Wang Cai lay quietly beside the fire. The wounds on his feet seemed to be all healed, and he regained his previous look and stretched out his huge claws to scratch his body. When the smell of fish permeated in the air, Wang Cai turned over and stood up, walked towards the stone, and carefully took the hot grilled fish off the grill. The stone tore off a piece of meat and threw it into Wang Cai's coveted mouth. Then he removed the skeletons of several fish and piled up the fish. Wang Cai blinked He came over with his mouth shut. Hey..." Stone shouted, "Reave some for me. Don't forget that this big meal sacrificed a lot of my blood!" Taking advantage of Wang Cai's swallowing, Stone quickly grabbed two pieces of fish, patted the dust on it, and carefully stuffed it into his mouth. Looking at Wang Cai's satisfied expression after eating, Stone became happy in his heart. It seems that this guy's spirit and strength have come back. He has recovered so quickly. Looking at Wang Cai's new hind legs, Stone looked at the heart of his left hand again. It seemed that not only Wang Cai, but also his resilience is amazing now! With the fire, the stone played with the iron ruler, which he found at the king's blacksmith at the head of the village after the disaster. It looks thin like a bamboo leaf, which is dark and incompicuous, but it is still a little heavy in the hand. The thin body is as hard as steel and can't be bent. Although it was not cut like mud, when the stone found it, it was inserted into a sharpening stone in the corner. At that time, the stone tried the edge and waved the stone in two halves, and the section was neat and smooth. The stone was happy at that time and knew that he had picked up the baby, but the front end was a flat head, although the edge was opened, But after all, it's a little awkward. It's like a sword but not a sword, and it can only be called an iron ruler. The stone later made a knife handle and scabbard with thin mountain vine, which was tied to his right leg. It looks good and easy to use.

Looking at the moon hanging above, the stone was recalling what happened that night? It seems that no one knows what happened at that time except Wang Cai. Unfortunately, Wang Cai can't speak human words. It's okay, Stone thought to himself that it's good to live well now. After experiencing this, Stone felt that he had become much stronger, but he was not strong enough. Although his strength had become stronger, he was much more agile, and he also had night vision and far-vision ability. His strong body's self-healing ability was also good, but he was really not sure about the invisible opponent in the water. If only the strange insect in my hand would help. Unfortunately, he has tried thousands of times. Except when he faces a fatal threat, this guy will take action. Stone doesn't understand. What is this? If this monster is willing to cooperate, won't he be able to run rampant? It's not like tonight, I won't sleep soundly.

Looking at the late night, Stone patted Wang Cai, "Good brother, you watch the night before tonight, and I'll exchange it for you in the middle of the night." After saying that, he threw a little dead grass into the fire and pointed to the fire and said, "When the fire goes out, you call me." Calculate the time and wait until the fire goes out, it will be three hours later. For me now, this time is enough to sleep. Looking back at Wang Cai piled up in front of the fire, he drilled into the shack.

I don't know when the stone suddenly woke up. Since drilling into the jungle, the stone seems to have become dangerous **. After listening to the outside, there was no movement. The stone's heart tightened, and he turned over and sat up with the knife in his hand. The room was dark, but for today's stone, there is no difference between darkness and day. Just as the stone was about to walk out of the room, he suddenly stopped. At his feet, when the whole ground had a large pool of water, the stone suddenly felt an unprecedented pressure, and he suddenly felt himself His palm was sweating, his back spine was cold, and the stone did not move. He looked down at the puddle of inexplicable water on the ground. Suddenly something flashed in his mind, and the stone remembered it. Just before, when Wang Cai suddenly rushed into the bushes, there was a pool of water there. The stone's heart tightened. Is it... At this time, a water curtain rose out of thin air and rolled up to the stone. The stone's muscles tightened in an instant and turned to one The wall next to him hit him, directly hit the room and rushed out of the room. He rolled a few times on the ground one after another, turned over, and ran to the fire, "Hold! Just don't move there!" The stone shouted at Wang Cai, who was already alert beside the fire. Just not far away, just at the place where the stone just stood up, a water line was slowly moving. After a while, the water line slowly became thicker and gathered together, gradually forming a basketball-sized water balloon, rolling towards the stone. The stone suppressed Wang Cai and did not act rashly. He quickly threw dead branches and rotten leaves at the fire that was about to be extinguished. With a burst of explosion, the flames burned again. The water ball suddenly stopped not far from the fire. The stone frowned, picked up a big stone and threw it at the water balloon. With a crack, the water ball was not as expected. That scattered, but on the contrary, a small space appeared in the center of the water ball, containing the whole stone and spitting it out from the other end. The stone could be seen clearly. The size of the stone spit out has decreased a lot and is still venting white. The stone began to panic. This guy is a highly corrosive **. He can change his body shape at will. He is as transparent and colorless as water. No wonder he can't see anything in the water and completely integrates with the water. No wonder Wang Cai can't find it, and no one will pay attention to a pool of water. But looking at the traces of the water ball rolling over, it seems that the corrosion is controllable. It seems that this guy is only corrosive when attacked or attacked. How to deal with a living water balloon? The stone has nothing to think of.

One person, one beast, one ball, just deadlocked by the fire. Wang Cai couldn't help roaring, but was suppressed by the stone. Thinking about it, the stone raised the gull and split it towards the water ball. Sure enough, as the stone expected, the two separated hemispheres spread out on the ground and blended together to form a water balloon, as if nothing had happened just now, but the tip of the knife was corroded by a large piece. It seems that only with fire, everything is afraid of fire. This is certain. The problem is that this guy can change his body shape at will. How can he trap it in the fire? The stone puts away the knife, pulls out a burning wooden stick, and puts the fire close to the water balloon. With a click, the torch is wrapped in the water ball and completely extinguished. Maybe When he was irritated, he saw a water line shot out of the water balloon and rush straight to the face of the stone. The stone threw away the wooden stick and flashed to one side, avoiding the water line. At this time, four or five water lines came one after another, covering all the retreats of the stone in a fan shape. The stone's heart tightened, and the emotional guy was wise. It was late. At that time, the stone did not retreat and moved forward. With a big knife in his right hand, he waved a sound of wind and scattered three water lines in a row. Seeing that there were still two water lines coming to the door, Stone knew that he could no longer avoid it. He raised his hand to protect his head and face. Seeing that the water line was about to attack successfully, Stone only felt his right hand. As soon as it shook, there was a sound of waves in the air, and a white light shrouded everything around it, instantly evaporating the two water lines. Stone breathed a sigh of relief, and the emotional worm saved him again.

Looking up, the water ball stopped attacking and kept standing still, but the volume was reduced a lot. The stone changed the knife to his left hand, raised his right wrist, clenched his fist in the direction of the water ball, and meditated in his heart, "Monster boss, help me, destroy that guy." But there was no movement at all. He shook his wrist and tried several times, but there was still no response at all. Stone put down his arm. It seems that this guy is determined not to do anything until the moment of crisis! You'd better do it yourself, Stone sighed.

tentatively, the stone threw another torch over, and this time, the water balloon rolled away. When the stone was about to continue the fire attack, Wang Cai suddenly roared behind him, "No, I'm tricked!" Stone turned around and saw a transparent object with thick fingers flying towards his neck. He leaned back and felt that his neck was cold and could avoid this sneak attack. It turned out that while the stone was not paying attention, the water monster quietly divided its body into parts and merged with the water line of the previous attack and launched a sneak attack. It seems that the IQ of this water monster is not much lower than that of people! Stone sighed in his heart, "What a horrible existence it would be if this guy continued to survive until he was fully mature!" Stone's heart suddenly became heavy. Looking back, the water monster disappeared at that moment. The stone raised a torch and searched around. There was no trace. It seemed that the water monster escaped into the water, and it was another difficult night! The stone gathered the fire and sat down cross-legged. "Let's stay like this in the middle of the night." Stone sighed. No one knows when the water monster will sneak over again. Let's make plans until dawn!

In half a dream, it was finally dawn. Stone stretched out, rubbed his sore legs and feet, and slowly stood up. I don't know when the fire has been extinguished. Wang Cai just opened his eyes, saw the stone, shook his body, and stood up. When he came to the stream, the stone carefully hit some water with a bamboo tube and simply washed his face. Looking at the clear water flow, the stone couldn't figure out what kind of mutation the water monster was? Fortunately, I'm not big, otherwise I'll get a few more splits, and I'll lose my life last night. After thinking about it, there is really no good way to deal with it. You can't touch it, and you can't cut it to death. The only way is to burn it to death with fire, but how can you lead the water monster into the trap on the shore? The stone fell into meditation.
