monster he just wants to be a good guy

I want to borrow your leg, thank you.

A thick rope was wrapped around Lu Man's waist, and the other side of the rope was tied to the thick trunk of a dead tree nearby.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the bottomless abyss.The breeze blew up from the bottom of the abyss, bringing with it an inexplicable salty smell.

"Be careful, pull the rope twice if you encounter trouble." Zhang Qingyan pulled Lu Man and urged.

Lu Man nodded obediently, took out a small misty bottle from his arms, and handed it over.

"You hold this bottle, Sister Qingyan. When you are in danger, open the lid and put your hand on the mouth of the bottle."

After giving instructions, Lu Man stepped on the corner of the rock and fell face down from the edge of the cliff.

The rope coiled in her hand was sliding away in circles at an extremely fast speed. Zhang Qingyan half-kneeled on the edge of the cliff, lowered her head to look, and saw a bat melted into the thick black on the side where the rope was tied.

The thin-film featherless structure determines that bats are more flexible than eagles when flying. The cracks in the rock formations caused by earthquakes are not smooth, and the ground is covered with bat wings. It is easy to avoid the undulating rock walls, but it is thrown by him. The rope behind him bumped against a wall all the way.

Lu Man didn't fly fast, but observed his surroundings very carefully.

Along the way, he encountered several monsters, most of which were reptiles. They clinged to the wall, felt the wind brought by Lu Man's movement, raised their heads and looked around dully.

There was a rumbling sound of something hitting the rock wall from below, and the sound was amplified several times in this narrow and claustrophobic gap. This was undoubtedly a torment for Lu Man, whose hearing was too sensitive in bat form.

He turned back into the most deaf human being. His sharp claws dug into the rock wall, and under the action of inertia, the claws dug deeply into the mud, leaving a trace several meters long.

He jumped down and landed lightly on a small natural platform on the cliff.Lu Manban knelt down on the ground, carefully stretched out his hand to stroke the mud off the top, and took out the thing that was obliquely stuck in the soil.

It was an earring with a yellow feather hanging from it.Lu Man knew that it was actually the tail feathers picked up from their old hen.

These are Uncle Lu's earrings. The traces on the small platform are messy and the mud is messed up. It seems that Uncle Lu has indeed been here.Judging from the traces, he didn't stay here, but continued to roll down.

The space below is not as narrow as above, and the stone beams and clods protruding from the rock wall are as intertwined and complicated as the roots of plants.

Lu Man suddenly transformed into a wolf, his tendons tensed, his legs exerted strength, and he leaped nimbly on the irregular "steps".

Layers of rock walls like book pages are also changing layer by layer, and the color is getting deeper and deeper. If you look closely, it is even mixed with gravel and coarse sand, and you can see some shiny things further down.

"Xiao Ai, what are these fragments?"

"Report to the owner, it should be the remains of marine organisms such as shells or corals." Xiao Ai also called up the pictures of the corresponding organisms to show Lu Man.

marine life?How did it involve the sea?

Lu Man was a little confused.

Although he has never seen the sea with his own eyes, he knows the existence of the "sea".

When he was a child, Uncle Lu would always read him bedtime stories, and he mentioned the sea a few times—the waves trimmed with gold in the sunset, the seagulls flying through the dark clouds and storms, and the crabs digging holes in the fine sand on the beach to make their homes. ...that is another colorful country beyond land.

The salty smell became stronger and stronger, and Lu Man couldn't help thinking of what Uncle Lu said: "The seawater is very salty. In the past, many people obtained coarse salt to supplement the salt needed by the human body by exposing the seawater to the sun."

After walking two steps, Lu Man saw another shell attached to the stone beam, which was almost bigger than others, motionless as if it was dead.

When Lu Man approached, it suddenly opened the shell, and its thick tongue squirmed, rolling Lu Man in.The two shells are tightly closed.

The shell monster that had captured its prey fell silent again, waiting for the final struggle of the prey before it died, but the prey was trapped in the digestive juice and remained motionless.

If so, it's on.

The wall of meat was overwhelming and crushed.

Lu Man slightly opened his lips, and the extremely low-frequency sound waves escaped, filling the small space inside the shell.

After a while, Lu Man casually wiped the mucus on his cheeks, stepped on half a shell to make a skateboard, and lowered his center of gravity to slide down the steep cliff.

As you go down, there are more and more grotesque monsters.Some bared their teeth and claws, waving their red legs; some swayed their tentacles, slowly wriggling and leaving a long sticky mark.

They seemed to stay in the same space without interfering with each other, but this peace lasted only for a moment, and soon a life-and-death battle broke out among the monsters. The winner strengthened himself, and the loser became nourishment.

The monsters sensed that something was sliding down rampantly, and the clever ones would move ahead of time, while those who were too lazy to move were knocked out by Lu Man, who was moving at high speed and had no time to turn, and rolled down the abyss smoothly. He became Lu Man's companion on the road.

In the blink of an eye, three or five shells joined Lu Man's skating team.

The rumbling sound from below was getting louder and louder. At this distance, Lu Man could finally hear it clearly. It was the water hitting the rock wall, and the sound waves emitted were reflected back and forth in a small space, and finally amplified into this deafening sound.

"Plop - plop -" The shells that rolled all the way to the side finally fell into the water one after another, splashing waves.Lu Man jumped up, and returned to his bat appearance, hanging upside down on the rock wall next to him, quietly observing below.

The water surface was not calm, it was turbid and deep, and the bottom could not be seen. The giant monsters lurking in the depths were faintly seen swimming slowly, and the water brought up by it hit the surrounding rock walls one after another, rolling up waves.

Did Uncle Lu really fall here...

Lu Man looked worriedly at the choppy water below.

If Uncle Lu really fell in, would he still be alive?

Just go down and have a look.

Lu Man looked at the rope around his waist. When he went into the water, there was a lot of resistance with the rope, and it was estimated that the length of the rope was almost at the end. Now it was very tight around his waist.

After thinking for a while, he quietly untied the rope tied around his waist, and tied it to the stone pillar next to him. With a relaxed body, he jumped up and fell gently into the waves without making too many ripples.

The water seeped into the corner of the mouth along the cracks of the lips, it was extremely salty, it really was sea water.When the eyes were opened under the water surface, there was also a burning sensation. Although it didn't hurt, it wasn't very comfortable either.As he continued to sink, the surrounding pressure increased, and his chest felt tight.

It needs to be changed to a water-based form.Among the several monsters that Lu Man had mastered, the octopus was the one with the best water skills.

After he turned into an octopus, the progress became much smoother. Seven or eight tentacles with suction cups opened and closed behind him, propelling him to swim steadily toward a deeper place.

The underwater world is bigger than Lu Man expected.Compared with the bottom of the abyss in front of him, the lake he saw in the southern forest before was simply a small ditch that couldn't be seen.

Diving to the bottom, Lu Man seemed to see "seaweed" floating in the water. When he took a closer look, they were all kinds of broken clothes.

Perhaps the monsters ate the human beings until there were no bones left, and the unpalatable clothes were spit out like this.There are basically no human bones at the bottom of the water, only a lot of broken clothes swimming with the waves.

Occasionally, one or two half-dead skeletons could be seen, and even the shreds of meat had been devoured by the monsters, and the two dark holes in the eye sockets were staring straight at Lu Man.

Of course, besides the clothes, there are also all kinds of odds and ends sinking at the bottom of the abyss. These are also spit out by the monsters because they don’t like to eat them. They were turned into mud by their excrement and the soil that fell from the earthquake. layer buried.

"I want to borrow your leg, thank you."

Lu Man borrowed a leg from a crab monster who was aggressively trying to pinch him off, used it as a garbage tong, and rummaged through the garbage.

Communicators that cannot be turned on, fragments of gun parts, notebooks with smudged fonts but faintly discernible handwriting... and nameplates that record personal information, the shapes are not the same, maybe the styles are different in different areas of the harbor.

After rummaging for a while, he disliked the slow rummaging speed alone, so he called Lu Slow out.

"Xiao Man, you are responsible for searching the area over there, looking for Uncle Lu's clothes or other traces."

Lu Man stood still in place, his tentacles fluttering like skirts with the water waves.

"One more thing, collect all the nameplates found, and they may have to return them to the harbor later."

It was only then that Lu Man realized that his chubby head was bobbing up and down, as if he was nodding, and bubbles came out of the gill cavity of his head one by one.

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Lu Man stretched out a tentacle and hooked Lu Manan's in a friendly way.

"Wait a minute, I'll borrow you a tool for picking up trash."

After a while, Lu Man swam back with a crab leg.

Two inconspicuous little octopuses blended into the dusty bottom, each holding a crab claw, rummaging through the mud.

Lu Man had harvested nearly ten nameplates, and they hung on his left tentacles in a row.

He rummaged through the soil on his side as if plowing a field. For a while, the sand slowly floated up from the bottom of the abyss, making the water even more turbid.

The search must not be aimless, but to lock in something that is relatively representative and recognizable to Uncle Lu.

For example, Uncle Lu usually carries a notebook with straw paper when he travels. As far as Lu Man knows, Uncle Lu uses charcoal pens and fountain pens in turn.

It is also out of the consideration of being diligent and thrifty to save pens and water. The more important content that needs to be left behind is written with rare fountain pens, and other less important things are written with charcoal pens.If he could find the notebook, Lu Man would be able to recognize Uncle Lu's dog crawling characters at a glance.

In addition to the notepad, Uncle Lu has one more distinctive feature, that is, he is used to carrying test tubes and bottles with him to store the samples encountered on the way.

He didn't find anything related to Uncle Lu, which made him a little relieved.Looking at Lu Slow, his search progress was half completed, and a nameplate was hung on the tentacles to mark the identity of the deceased.

Lu Manyou went over to finish the rest with Lu Man, Lu Man slowly shook his head and said, "No."

Could it be that Uncle Lu has never been here?

But what happened to the Uncle Lu earrings he picked up from the rock wall above, and the pieces of Uncle Lu's clothes that the Aurora people salvaged from the abyss?Is Uncle Lu alive or dead?

It was a good thing that he didn't find Uncle Lu's things in the mud, but he still couldn't find Uncle Lu.This made Lu Man's heart hang in his chest and feel a little restless.

Suddenly, both he and Lu Man stopped.Above the head, there is a huge shadow wandering past.

Lu Man raised his head, seeing a vast expanse of whiteness in front of him, like daylight falling into the sea, with some black spots on it.When I took a closer look, I realized that it was the white belly of a giant monster.

They heard a strange sound, and when they looked up, they saw a large stream of brown-black granular objects proliferating from the tail of the monster, slowly falling down to the bottom.

The monster... pulled.

Lu Man hurriedly grabbed Lu Man who was still in a daze, and withdrew to the side as quickly as possible to avoid disaster.

Standing in the distance and watching the excrement falling like black rain in the water, Lu Man sharply noticed something, mixed in the particles all over the sky, and the faint light flashed by.

what is that?

The visibility was too low, and the gleam of light flashed past, and Lu Man even wondered if he had an illusion.Fortunately, he is not the only one here, but Lu Man is also here.

"Xiao Man, did you see it just now? Something flashed there."

"I see it."

Lu Man looked in that direction and remembered the location of the previous flash.Now they can only wait quietly for the "dust" to settle.During the waiting process, Lu Man played with his tentacles in order to relieve his emotions, twisted the bow twice and untied it, and braided Lu Man's ponytail, which was still three strands.

After about 10 minutes, the particles all sank to the bottom.

Lu Man and the others swam over, carefully rummaging through the thick mud with crab legs in hand.

"found it."

After receiving the message from Lu Man, Lu Man turned his head and looked in his direction. Seeing what Lu Man was holding in his hand, his eyes widened.

It was a small glass bottle, and the glimmer they saw just now was the reflection on the wall of this bottle.

The mouth of the bottle was blocked with a wooden stopper, and there were tiny cracks in the body of the bottle, but the water hadn't been poured in yet, and a bead of blood was quietly staying at the bottom of the bottle.

This is like a test tube bottle that Uncle Lu often uses when working.

Lu Man temporarily returned to the shore with the bottle.

The cork was very tight, and after it was soaked in water and swelled, it was even more clogged, so he couldn't get it out no matter how he tried to dig it out with his claws.

Lu Man's gaze turned to a crab monster that had just climbed ashore from the water. It was missing two legs and was walking a little staggeringly. Seeing them, they waved their huge and powerful crab claws at Lu Man bluffing.

"The pliers seem pretty good..." Lu Man muttered to himself.

The author says:

I'm here to play tricks again

small theater:

Xiao Man: Sorry, Xie Xie, I really need this to pick up trash;

Crab Monster: You only dirty your hands, but I lost my legs!

-

The crab monster managed to run back to the shore from the treacherous sea;

Xiaoman again: Can I borrow another pair of your pliers?

Crab Monster: You should give me back my leg first!

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
