Translator: 549690339
A massive monster emerged from the water!
The black and flat body, a mouth that took up half of its body, long fin spines were suspended above the water! They flickered back and forth, like a lure for fishing, tempting people to take the bait——
“An anglerfish?” Bai Youwei exclaimed in shock, ” No, how could an anglerfish be so big?!”
Mr. Cheng and Zhu Shu from upstairs brought over flashlights, the light beams shone on the water, making everyone’s vision clearer.
The Water Monster looked like a deep-sea anglerfish, but as big as a water buffalo! Its protruding broad lower jaw was lined with sharp teeth, above the gill slit were bulging eyeballs. The eyeballs were black with a ring of gray-white, as if they had already degenerated of their supposed function.
Half of its body floated above the water, while the other half sunk underwater, it was clumsily and slowly approaching Lun Ang——
When faced with such a creature, Lun Ang’s sturdy frame appeared insignificant.
He involuntarily took half a step back.
Realizing his own fear, he gritted his teeth, steadied himself, and slowly put down the boat model in his hand.
The boat model was made of wood, it sunk slightly in the water, and then bobbed back up to the surface.
The Water Monster had come up to the front of Lun Ang.
There was only a boat model separating the two.
The flashlight’s beam shone on both of them, like the focus of everyone’s attention at the beginning of a show.
Lun Ang remained vigilant, his eyes unblinking as he stared at the half of the fish face above the water surface, ready to evacuate at any sign of movement from the monster.
However, the fish remained still.
The colossal creature just floated there silently, its gills slowly pulsating. Under the strong light of the flashlight, its grisly, ghastly face displayed crumpled, grey-white skin. Its shadowed contours were intense, its eyeballs rotated and slightly twitched.
Lun Ang was doubtful, wondering why the monster remained still.
Yan Qingwen was uneasy. If the conditions for passing had been met, guests should have taken its item. Its lack of movement at the moment could only imply that they were wrong!
With this in mind, Yan Qingwen couldn’t help but feel chills. He shouted, “Lun Ang! Come up!”
Lun Ang turned around to go upstairs!
At the same time, a splash of water erupted! The enormous anglerfish leapt out from the water, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, and lunged at Lun Ang!
Lun Ang rolled sideways, grabbed the staircase railing using his inertia to continue to move upwards!
Yan Qingwen let go of the rope in his hand, the furniture rested alternately on both sides of the staircase fell down, blocking the channel at the angle he had calculated! However, he did not take into account the buoyancy of the water wave! After the wooden furniture jammed the staircase channel, it became loose due to the buoyancy, and broke into pieces under the collision of the Anglerfish Monster!
“Ah!”
The wide-open jaw snapped shut at lightning speed, biting Lun Ang’s leg. The turbid accumulated water immediately turned red. It was a horrifying scene of bloodied water!
Under the bright light, Lun Ang’s face was ghastly pale, twisted in pain!
He tried to break free, but the pulling force of the Fish Monster was astonishingly powerful! Lun Ang’s grip on the railing inevitably loosened, and his body rapidly moved backward under the dragging force! Just as he was about to be pulled into the water, a hand grabbed him!
It was Shen Mo!
Shen Mo held onto Lun Ang with one hand and forcefully threw a fruit knife with his other hand!
The tip of the knife pierced the Fish Monster’s cheek!
The enormous deep-sea anglerfish let out an agonizing shriek, its gigantic mouth opened, finally releasing Lun Ang’s leg. Shen Mo and Yan Qingwen, working together, dragged him to the second floor!
The anglerfish monster swung its tail with great force, attempting to pounce again! A whip crack was heard in the air! The whip smacked squarely on its fin!
The Fish Monster quickly sunk back into the water!
Unsatisfied, Su Man lashed out several more times with the whip!
The surface of the water made a cracking sound as it was whipped, splashes of water flew everywhere!
The heavy air in the room was saturated with rainwater, the Fish Monster’s whereabouts unknown. It could be hiding, or it could be lurking in the dark ready to strike.
Yan Qingwen called Su Man to come back, but she stubbornly refused. Red-eyed, she stood on the water-soaked staircase, seething with anger and wishing she could land another whip on it to vent her rage!
Yan Qingwen had to take care of Lun Ang and could not attend to her. It took Mr. Cheng, Tan Xiao and Zhu Shu to pull the obstinate Su Man back to the second floor
By now, the water level had risen to submerge the whole staircase!
The first floor, was completely flooded!
