This is none other than Chen Xiao!
It turned out that after Chen Xiao fell into the water, he was already seriously injured and weak, and had no strength to swim. He sank directly. The sea was in chaos. Tang Ying and Zhang Xiaotao swam hard, trying to find Chen Xiao, but they couldn't find him.
The sea god, riding the monster, submerged back into the water. He immediately spotted Chen Xiao and was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he grabbed Chen Xiao's hair and flung him onto the monster's back, right in front of him. Then, under its master's control, the giant sea serpent plunged its long body into the depths of the sea, disappearing swiftly into the vast ocean…
Chen Xiao's first reaction upon waking was to struggle to turn over. Then he felt a churning in his chest, opened his mouth, and with a "whoosh," a mouthful of salty, fishy seawater gushed out. He also choked on an unknown amount of water, followed by a violent series of coughs.
Then he tried to breathe deeply, but he couldn't even catch his breath.
His lungs were already severely injured, and with all that panting and coughing, he quickly felt breathless and was on the verge of fainting again.
Just then, I felt a hand grab my hair, lift my head up sharply, and tilt my head back.
The sunlight was exceptionally bright, making Chen Xiao dizzy, but he could barely make out the outline of a figure. However, the figure was facing away from the sun, and only a shadow could be seen.
Then his mouth was pried open, and the other person stuffed something into it. He slapped his throat hard, gulped it down, and swallowed it.
The man's actions were very rude and merciless, clearly not friendly.
As soon as Chen Xiao swallowed the unknown substance, he felt that it was extremely slippery and rolled down his throat into his stomach. Immediately, a strange heat spread out, and his lungs, which had been almost spasming and convulsing, gradually calmed down.
After catching his breath a few more times, he gradually became exhausted, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
He slept for an unknown amount of time. When he woke up, Chen Xiao subconsciously took a breath and felt that the tightness in his lungs had eased considerably. The excruciating pain that had tormented him seemed to have been greatly relieved, although there was still some pain, it was within tolerable limits.
He subconsciously glanced around...
here……
It was pitch black all around, but the dripping sound of water could be heard, and the distinctive damp, salty, and fishy smell in the air was easily identifiable.
The air was slightly stuffy and murky, with poor ventilation. Chen Xiao managed to sit up. Although it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, he reached out and touched his body. The wound on his chest seemed to have scabbed over. It felt a little itchy to the touch, but it was actually almost healed!
The weakness in his shoulder eased, and he touched the knife wound, which had scabbed over with blood and was hard. After taking two deep breaths, Chen Xiao made a preliminary assessment of his injuries. For some reason, the external wounds seemed to have healed most of the way, but the internal injuries still needed time to recover.
In any case, it was already quite unexpected that he had pulled himself back from the brink of death—after all, the cell repair fluid was of no use to him.
But this place...
He strained to open his eyes, but still couldn't see anything. Chen Xiao listened intently for a while, trying to pinpoint the direction of the distant sound of flowing water...
Am I in some underground cave?
Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a splash of water coming from the direction of the distant sound of flowing water, as if something had broken through the water. Then I could faintly hear the sound of pebbles rustling. The wind was getting closer, and it seemed that something huge was slowly approaching!
There was also an exceptionally strong, salty, and fishy smell in the wind!
Chen Xiao was frowning when he suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching him from the darkness. He looked up and saw two lantern-like lights suddenly appearing in the darkness seven or eight meters above him. However, the lights were strange, as if they were directed at him...
Chen Xiao was taken aback, and then it suddenly dawned on him!
This isn't a lantern at all; it's a pair of eyes.
Chapter 167 [I'll Eat You First!]
monster!
Chen Xiao was startled and immediately jumped up, but as soon as he struggled, he cried out "Ouch!" and fell down.
After all, he still had serious injuries and could barely move, but he couldn't handle such strenuous activity.
He fell to the ground, only to watch helplessly as the pair of "lanterns" slowly drooped down.
With the faint light from those two "lanterns," Chen Xiao finally managed to vaguely make out the other person's outline!
What lay before me appeared to be a giant serpent, unlike anything I had ever seen before?
The giant snake stood upright, its height reaching seven or eight meters, not counting the part coiled on the ground! Its head was shaped like an inverted triangle, but instead of the long, scarlet forked tongue typical of snakes, its open mouth was filled with grotesque, sharp fangs, yet it seemed... to have no tongue?!
However, the monster's mouth smelled incredibly foul. With each breath, a stench assaulted Chen Xiao's nostrils, nearly suffocating him.
As the gaping maw full of fangs surfaced and drew closer, Chen Xiao felt a growing tension.
This monster... wants to eat itself!
As he thought this, he watched the enormous head lower, its hands groping around on the ground. It grabbed a few pieces of broken stone and held them in its hands. Fortunately, the monster seemed to merely approach. Its nose was almost touching Chen Xiao's body. It seemed to sniff him, and Chen Xiao felt all his muscles tense up, his body struggling to back away.
Finally, the monster shrank back. Chen Xiao then struggled to his feet.
After a long time in the dark, my eyes finally adjusted, and with the help of the monster's lantern-like eyes, I was able to see some of my surroundings.
It resembled an inverted bowl-shaped cave, though it was unclear whether it was underground. In any case, there wasn't a single ray of light. The surrounding cave walls also appeared damp. The space was quite large, with an arched ceiling that was easily over ten meters high.
Chen Xiao looked around again, when suddenly he heard a cracking sound under his feet. He didn't know what he had stepped on, so he bent down and touched it. He picked it up and took a closer look, and his heart skipped a beat!
In his hand, he held a bone! Judging by its shape, it was clearly a human thigh bone! However, it was impossible to tell how much time had passed; it had long since decayed, and he had simply stomped on it, breaking it in two!
His heart pounded even harder when he saw the human bones!
The monster was blocking the cave entrance, and there was a faint sound of flowing water outside... clearly the exit.
Flowing water never dies; wherever there is flowing water, there will naturally be a path leading to other places!
However, this strange snake, blocking the doorway, seemed to have no intention of eating Chen Xiao for the time being, but it also seemed to have no intention of letting Chen Xiao out.
Chen Xiao pondered for a moment. Before the lifeboat capsized and he fell into the water, he vaguely saw the outline of a huge monster, which seemed to be the one in front of him…
Could it be... that I've been captured?
