monster he just wants to be a good guy

This is not fun to eat!

Lu Man was about to follow the direction of the water flow and get into the ground to find out. After hesitating for a moment, he took back his steps, turned around and walked a few steps towards the shore.

He is not alone, just disappearing suddenly like this, Brother Qing Miao and the others will definitely be worried.

"Brother Qingmiao—"

Zheng Qingmiao and the others were still carrying a shovel in their hands and had just arrived in a hurry when they heard Lu Man's shout.He was already standing in the middle of the swamp, Zheng Qingmiao's heart skipped a beat when he saw it.

"Hey—Xiao Man, are you okay!"

Lu Man shook his head, realizing that they might not be able to see clearly, so he waved his arms wildly.He cupped his hands in front of his mouth in the shape of a trumpet, and confessed to Zheng Qingmiao: "I want to go down and have a look, you don't want to follow, wait for me on the shore!"

Everyone was stunned for a while.

"Go down... what does this mean?" They looked at each other, Zheng Qingmiao took a deep breath, tore off the loops of rope tied around his waist, tied them into knots, and threw them out vigorously towards Lu Man in the swamp.

Lu Man took two steps forward to catch the knot, and looked at him inexplicably.

"Wrapped around the waist. In danger, give the rope two strong pulls, and we'll pull you up."

Lu Man's eyes widened, and soft colors shrouded his brows and eyes.

"Okay. But...the length of the rope may not be enough." He looked at the rope in his hand, threw it here from the edge, and added some that were still wrapped in Zheng Qingmiao's hand, the total was less than 15 meters.

"It's okay, we still have this!" Uncle Liu and other uncles also lifted up the hem of their clothes, revealing the rope coiled around their waists.As soon as they received the news of the danger, they rushed here with a complete set of hunting equipment as soon as possible.

They connected the ropes one end after another, and finally connected them into a length of at least five to sixty meters.

Lu Man wrapped a thick thick rope around his waist, tied it in a knot, and gestured "no problem" to them.

"Then I'll go."

"The rope is fastened, and we are here waiting for your return! Go carefully, I will not let go."

Zheng Qingmiao held the rope, and several people stood in a staggered posture like a tug-of-war, like a rock.

Lu Man smiled brightly, nodded, and then half-kneeled in the water, lying down until he was completely submerged in the shallow mud.

He quietly felt the direction of the water flow, all the water was slowly flowing towards somewhere in the center of the swamp.Lu Man drifted with the current and floated on it.He reached out to touch the soft mud, where there was an extremely weak suction.

This is it, where all the currents converge.

Lu Man gradually let himself melt into the water.

Ah, by the way, almost forgot the rope.He stretched out his hand to grab the loose rope hanging around his waist as his body elongated, and he slid down the extremely concealed and tiny hole little by little.

"It's moving." Zheng Qingmiao looked stern, and the rope on his hand was getting shorter and shorter.

The others gasped.

"It really went down!"

"The swamp looks so shallow, did it dig into the ground? Xiaoman didn't even bring a shovel, how did he do it!"

"Hush." ​​Zheng Qingmiao made a quiet gesture, and everyone fell silent in an instant.

It doesn't matter how you do it.Seriously feel the change of the rope, grasp the timing, and pull Lu Man up in time when he is in danger, this is the most important thing.

Lu Man compressed his body to the thinnest, and made a way down the hole.The further down you go, the wider the path becomes.This hole is showing a tendency to widen.

Finally, Lu Man fell to the bottom with a thud.

He was sitting on the wet ground, his body smelled of earth.A drop of water dripped from the top of his head onto his forehead and eyelids.

Lu Man raised his head. The wolf's night vision ability was very strong, and he saw a star point of light emerging from the pitch-black head. It was the small hole he had just drilled down.

He stood up with a bent waist, and his head hit the mud wall unexpectedly.Unexpectedly, the bottom of the swamp was not mud, but a hollow formed at some point.

The water in the swamp disappeared so quickly during this period, perhaps not because of the rising temperature and transpiration of the water surface, but because the water in the swamp was flowing here drop by drop along the small hole.

The former behemoth has disappeared.

But he could smell something subtle hanging in the air, and it didn't go very far.

Lu Man groped forward, and the front was getting bigger and bigger, and the walls were getting drier.From the beginning, he could only crawl forward with his back bent, and now he can stand up completely.

He was about to take another step forward when his waist suddenly tightened.

Is this the end of the rope?Lu Man turned his head to look at the extremely stretched thick rope, and then at the thick darkness ahead that could not be seen without end.He could feel that the monster lived in a deeper place.

How about... Untie the rope and put it here for a while?

no.Lu Man shook his head.He promised Brother Qingmiao before that he would tie the rope tightly, so he decided to behave better this time.

Since you can't get through it yourself, then lure the monster over.

Lu Man bit his own finger, blood droplets came out, dripped down little by little, and the smell of blood soon dissipated.

In the distance, there was a viscous sound, that huge monster was slowly moving in the depths of the darkness.

At the end of the line of sight, several tentacles with suction cups clung to the mud wall and moved towards Lu Man.He was sharp-eyed enough to see that there was still a chicken feather on one of the suckers.

Lu Man stood where he was, using himself as bait, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

The fingernails of his hands lengthened rapidly, and his sharp claws protruded.

OK, come here.

Zheng Qingmiao waited outside for a long time, the swamp was located between the hillsides backed by the sun, and the cool wind hit, instantly covered goose bumps all over her body.They also divided into two small teams, a few people stayed here and pulled the rope to adapt to the situation, and the others held shovels nearby to survey the surrounding swamp.

"Hey, Zheng Qingmiao, come here! There is a problem here..."

Zheng Qingmiao hesitated for a while, temporarily handed over the rope to another teammate, and walked over by himself.

"Look!" Uncle Liu pointed to the hole they dug just now.

The pothole was not big, but it was more than one meter deep. The soil was turned over by them and piled up scattered on one side.

Zheng Qingmiao observed it, and the soil near the surface was still a normal brown-black color, and the color became darker as it went down.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Qingmiao scratched her head in confusion, not knowing what went wrong.

"It's the wrong color, it's too deep."

"This side is close to the swamp, and the underlying soil is soaked in the swamp and becomes darker, which is normal."

"I dug the ground near the rice fields before, and the soil I dug out was not this color."

He picked up a small handful of mud dug out from the bottom, ran two steps, and spread it on the sunny hillside not far away.

Under the sunlight, the soil particles showed a strange blue color.

"Look! It's the wrong color... and it doesn't taste right either."

Zheng Qingmiao picked up a pinch of soil and sniffed it at the tip of her nose. It was indeed different from the ordinary soil smell, mixed with some unknown stench.

He looked back towards the direction of the pit, stood on the hillside and looked down, and suddenly discovered something that he had overlooked before.

Weeds were overgrown ten meters away from the swamp, and the vegetation was wilted five meters away from the swamp, and almost no grass grew near the edge of the swamp.He hadn't been to the swamp for a long time, but Zheng Qingmiao clearly remembered that there were lush forests around here.

The closer to the swamp, the barren the land, which must be related to the blue soil.

He suddenly thought of the monster Lu Man had caught before. If he remembered correctly, that kind of shrimp and crab had blue blood that was different from that of humans.

Is this... the blood of a monster?The monster's blood soaked the land around the swamp, causing the vegetation to wither into mud?

Zheng Qingmiao was slightly stunned, but before he could think any further, his companions shouted again from the edge of the swamp.

"There's a rope over there!" He hurried over and put his hand on the rope.

"How many times did you pull?"

"Just a moment."

As soon as the words fell, their hands were pulled forward by the rope again.

"Twice!" Several people looked at each other, "Xiao Man is in danger!"

Before they could pull back with all their strength, Zheng Qingmiao felt the rope move again.

Then, four times, five times...the rope was shaking back and forth urgently.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, is this still unreasonable?

"Quickly pull!" Zheng Qingmiao gritted her teeth, grabbed the rope, and pulled it back with difficulty.

The rope was shaking so urgently and violently, it must be that Xiao Man was in great danger below.

He shifted his center of gravity backwards, and the whole group of people fell backwards, but they still couldn't resist the strong pulling force from the other end of the rope, and the soles of their shoes dragged forward in the wet and soft mud a few long mud marks.

Everyone worked so hard, beads of sweat dripped down their foreheads, and their hands were worn out.But instead of pulling them out, they were dragged into the swamp instead.Zheng Qingmiao, who was standing at the front, almost had her legs submerged in the water.

"Do you feel that...the ground seems to be shaking?" Pulling and pulling, someone couldn't stand still and stopped, and suddenly felt that the whole person was shaking.

"Hey, look there! It's a whirlpool!"

Zheng Qingmiao's eyes widened, a small vortex suddenly appeared in the middle of the swamp, it got bigger and bigger, and the water receded faster and faster, it had retreated away from Zheng Qingmiao, as if it was gradually slipping away along the hole.

All of them staggered.This is not an illusion caused by excessive force, but the ground is really shaking.

At this time, the water has all receded, exposing the bare marsh bottom.

Now Zheng Qingmiao saw clearly that there was a hole there, and the crack was getting bigger and bigger... After the water leaked out, the soft mud also sank down along the cave, and the end of the rope they were pulling was also stuck into the ground along the hole. inside.

Lu Man is right there!

The ground shook wildly a few more times. The others couldn't stand their feet and fell to the ground one after another. Only Zheng Qingmiao trampled his feet to death in the mud, holding the rope firmly like a rock.

Xiaoman must be rescued!He had already almost lost once, and he couldn't let him give up the second time!

Zheng Qingmiao let out a roar and pulled the rope back, the muscles on his arms swelled and the veins popped out.Infected by his firmness, the others got up again and grabbed the rope tightly.

"One-two pull--one-two pull--" Someone shouted slogans, and a group of strong men worked together to tug of war.

Step by step, they retreated successfully, and the rope was pulled up from the hole little by little.

With a plop, the tension in his hand suddenly loosened.

A group of them fell back into a ball.

Something flew over and hit the mud in front of Zheng Qingmiao's eyes.

This, what is this?

Zheng Qingmiao was so shocked that she could hardly close her mouth from ear to ear.

On the ground, a tentacle was tightly stuck to the end of the rope, and it was still twisting like a nerve reflex after landing.

The others were also dumbfounded.

This is... Lu Man?

In the next moment, there was a loud bang, and the hole supported by the soft mud suddenly collapsed, and the ground surface quickly cracked and spread outward.

"Quick back!" Zheng Qingmiao yelled, and before leaving, she didn't forget to take the tentacles with her, and a group of people turned their heads and ran desperately.

They didn't dare to look back until the ground tremor ended.The swamp, including the land within tens of meters outside, has subsided, exposing the dark and deep hole below.

As time passed, the sun turned westward, and the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the cave.

They saw at the bottom of the hole, an ugly and huge soft-bodied monster with blue blood dripping all over the ground, and the tentacles under it were still swinging like teeth and claws.Several of them were broken, and one was being hugged and chewed by the boy who was sitting on top of his head.

Um?Suddenly feeling the light and sight, the boy raised his eyelids, and saw a group of people looking at him in shock from afar.

Lu Man subconsciously put down the octopus leg he was holding in his hand, and showed a harmless smile to Zheng Qingmiao and the others, as if to say "he didn't do this".

If it weren't for the blue blood on the corner of his mouth, and if the monster was not suppressed by him, they would almost believe it.

So... the pulling force just now was not Lu Man, but this monster octopus asking for help?

Zheng Qingmiao lifted the tentacles and looked at the monster struggling less and less. He suddenly realized that it might be the first time for other people around him to see Lu Man in such a ferocious state, and they turned their heads to look worriedly. companions.

"What kind of monster is that...it's so big!"

"I'll go! Xiaoman is amazing!"

"It's not fun to eat!" Uncle Liu hurriedly waved his hands to dissuade, "At least eat it after roasting it? Eating it raw is not good for the stomach."

"Wait a minute, you should be more scared!"

Zheng Qingmiao felt a little aggrieved because she had nowhere to use the rhetoric she had prepared for Lu Man's exposure.

"What's there to be afraid of? Didn't you know it before?" Having accepted the setting of Lu Man becoming a wolf monster before, their acceptance of the current situation is surprisingly high.After the initial shock, they quickly accepted the new setting that Lu Man wanted to eat octopus legs.

"And...he is fighting to protect us, but in a special way."

"It's not special, Xiaoman is obviously very powerful!"

Lu Man stepped on the monster's head, his hearing was very good, and he could hear everything they said on it clearly.

They told him with words and deeds that it was okay to be different from others.

The corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled sincerely, and a warm feeling came from somewhere in his chest.

The monster's shell under its feet was constantly wriggling, and something was stirring faintly inside.

Suddenly, a large group of small hermit crab monsters surged out of the monster's shell like a tide.Lu Man's eyes sharpened, and he stepped forward and successfully crushed part of it, and the crabs that slipped through the net fled deeper into the hole.

Seeing that Lu Man got up and was about to catch up, Zheng Qingmiao hurriedly stopped him.

"Xiao Man, stop chasing me!"

The situation inside is unknown, and no one knows what dangers will be encountered.Lu Man felt unwilling, but obediently walked back to the octopus monster.

Its bulging head was now deflated, and its constantly waving tentacles fell lifelessly to the ground.

This monster...is dead.The group of crab monsters lived in the corpse of this octopus monster, controlling its movements.

Where did the octopus come from?Will there be more monsters?

Lu Man looked back at the bottomless cave with a bad premonition in his heart.The peaceful and beautiful life in Qingmiao Village...is about to change.His eyes were cold, and violent thoughts almost dazzled him.

"Xiaoman!" Finally, under everyone's call, he came back to his senses, took a deep breath to calm down, turned around and jumped up to the entrance of the cave, standing still in front of Zheng Qingmiao and the others.

"Thank you." Zheng Qingmiao rubbed his head, and the others lined up to touch him in turn. Lu Man narrowed his eyes, and the expression on his face finally softened.

"Good job!" Someone handed over a towel.Lu Man took it, wiped the liquid on his cheeks, and dyed the originally white cloth blue.

They looked down at the hole that had popped out of nowhere, frowning.

"You guys seal this place first, I'll go find the village chief."

Zheng Qingmiao left quickly, leaving Lu Man and others in place.

"Uncle Liu, can I ask you something?" Lu Man asked.

"Of course, you say."

"Help me go back to my house and bring the gray ball out." Lu Man also wanted to follow Zheng Qingmiao, but he was worried about letting everyone stay outside the cave like this. Individuals can't stand it at all.

"Grey ball?" Uncle Liu was a little confused.

"Ah, it's that wolf monster." Everyone trembled when they heard this.

"Just pull the whole cage over. If it is very aggressive towards you, you can warn it that I told you to bring it here. If you dare to grin at the villagers... Maybe option [-] would be more suitable. It?" Lu Man smiled.

Gray Ball, who was sleeping curled up in a cage in the distance, suddenly trembled.Hiss, who is talking about it.

It looked up for a while, but didn't hear anything, it was fine, the big devil and little Douding were not at home, so it lowered its head and went to sleep again.

But Gray Ball couldn't sleep now, a gust of wind blew by, and it smelled that the smell of the village had changed, which made it a little restless.
