HCB Chapter 52 The Habitat of the Water Monkey
Chapter 52 The Habitat of the Water Monkey
Cheng Feng waved his hand in refusal, then gestured for the two to follow him.
The three swam forward along the passage, and gradually, they felt the water flow inside the passage begin to become rapid.
When they reached the end of the passage, they saw light ahead.
Cheng Feng swam out of the passage first, only to find it filled with aquatic plants emitting a deep blue fluorescence.
The area is quite spacious, but it is still within a burial ground.
Cheng Feng frowned slightly. This underwater tomb was not originally built directly on the seabed.
Instead, they converted a large ship into a tomb, sank it into the sea, and ultimately created an underwater tomb.
Cheng Feng guessed that the three of them were currently in the air pocket at the bottom of the large ship.
At this moment, the two women swam to Cheng Feng's side, their eyes somewhat unfocused as they gazed at the blue ocean before them.
This place is indeed dreamlike, with blue fluorescent aquatic plants covering the entire space.
Small fish, less than an inch in size, inhabit this place, darting through the light, creating a dreamlike scene.
He turned around and waved in front of the two women, waking them from their sleepwalking.
Then Cheng Feng gestured to them to pay attention to their surroundings.
This place wasn't mentioned in the original novel, and Cheng Feng was afraid that some other powerful experimental subjects might be inhabiting it.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling nodded to indicate that they understood, and then together they drew their daggers.
They learned a lesson from a young age: the more beautiful something is, the greater the potential danger it may pose.
"Since it's the bottom of the ship, there must be a gap. Let's look around for a way out!"
At present, returning by the original route is the only option left, because going back would mean going against the current.
Cheng Feng wouldn't immediately do something so thankless and exhausting.
Therefore, finding the gap left when their ship sank would be the best option.
Communication was difficult in the water, so Cheng Feng came to Chen Wenjin's side and began to write on her abdomen with his fingers.
"This, the bottom of the ship, the sunken ship, the breach."
While Cheng Feng was writing, Huo Ling next to him stared wide-eyed, it was unclear whether she was watching the spectacle or trying to figure out what Cheng Feng was writing.
Chen Wenjin forced himself to endure the tingling sensation throughout his body and tried to decipher the words Cheng Feng had written.
After Cheng Feng finished writing, she understood what he was trying to do.
After nodding, he swam behind Cheng Feng and began writing on his back with his hand.
Okay, be careful.
Huo Ling, on the other side, looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression and tugged at Chen Wenjin's arm.
Then the two of them started talking on their stomachs, and soon Huo Ling also learned about Cheng Feng's plan.
Seeing that they were alright, Cheng Feng led the way and swam towards the group of aquatic plants that emitted blue fluorescence.
The two women also followed Cheng Feng on either side, so that the three of them could look after each other at any time.
The aquatic plants here not only grow on the ground, but also hang down directly from above.
Therefore, their view was obstructed, which greatly hindered their search for a way out.
Cheng Feng and his two companions first swam to a wall, and then began searching forward along the wall.
Cheng Feng, swimming at the forefront, had sharp eyes, wary of anything coming to ambush him.
After swimming for about several dozen meters, something suddenly rushed out from deep within the water plants.
Cheng Feng was severely restricted in the water, and only had time to raise his arms in front of him.
The thing collided violently with Cheng Feng, and the powerful impact caused Cheng Feng's back to slam heavily against the wall.
A string of bubbles rose upwards with the breath Cheng Feng exhaled.
Chen Wenjin reacted quickly, swinging his legs and charging towards the monster attacking Cheng Feng with a dagger in hand.
But humans are too clumsy in the water. Before she could even wave her arms, the creature turned and ran into the water plants.
Huo Ling swam to Cheng Feng's side, held Cheng Feng's shoulders, and put the respirator over Cheng Feng's mouth and nose.
Cheng Feng took a few deep breaths to replenish his oxygen, and then returned the respirator to Huo Ling.
He had just realized that what attacked him was none other than one of the targets of the elimination mission: the water monkey.
This space is spacious and connected to a passageway above, and there is likely an opening leading to the outside.
It was the perfect habitat, so Cheng Feng thought there was probably more than one water monkey, and the Forbidden Woman might also be active here.
"It's a pity that the Pure Vision Agama has no fighting ability in the sea, otherwise it would have turned this place into a snake's den."
The Pure Vision Agamas are not sea serpents after all; sending them to fight water monkeys in the ocean is practically suicide.
Even cheap troops shouldn't be consumed like this.
Cheng Feng no longer intends to hide anything, lest he really suffer an unexpected setback.
As his Ghost Eyes were activated, his eyes turned a deep black, a sight witnessed by Huo Ling, who was concerned about his condition.
This made her involuntarily take a step back, but she quickly regained her composure.
Cheng Feng nodded to her, indicating that he was fine, and then a loaded water gun appeared out of thin air in his right hand.
Cheng Feng placed the water gun into the bewildered Huo Ling's hand, and then took out a dagger.
Long weapons are not convenient to use underwater, while daggers are more suitable for naval warfare because of their small size.
At this moment, Chen Wenjin suddenly noticed that Huo Ling was holding a water gun and was gesturing excitedly back and forth, asking her where she got it from.
Huo Ling understood Chen Wenjin's meaning and pointed at Cheng Feng.
Chen Wenjin looked at Cheng Feng, tilting her head as if asking a question.
Cheng Feng raised his hand again, and a water gun exactly the same as the one Huo Ling was holding appeared in his hand.
Chen Wenjin's eyes widened. She had heard the legend of Zhang Dafoye moving the Buddha statue before.
But according to her father, Chen Pi Asi, it was a scheme set up by Zhang Dafoye to make a name for himself in Changsha.
It wasn't done through any special means; it was secretly brought back by his trusted confidants.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Feng has now shown us real telekinesis.
Cheng Feng handed the water gun to Chen Wenjin, signaling them to focus, and then led the way to continue swimming forward.
The underwater area is not his domain; leaving as soon as possible would be best.
The task can be completed whenever it is available, since there is no time limit.
After calming down a bit, the two women grabbed the water gun with one hand and paddled with the other to catch up with Cheng Feng.
The three swam forward slowly for a while, and the water monkey seemed to have run far away and did not come out to attack again.
However, the three of them remained vigilant, and Cheng Feng was even somewhat worried.
He knew that this thing used to be human, and now that it had become a monster, it still retained some of the intelligence of a human.
This escaped water monkey might be planning something big.
Sometimes Murphy's Law can be really unpleasant.
Just as Cheng Feng thought of this, he noticed that all the surrounding water plants began to sway.
One after another, cyan figures could be vaguely seen moving among them, surrounding the three.
Cheng Feng cursed inwardly. This monkey didn't kill him with one hit and then ran back to call for help. He was a little too clever.
The three women exchanged a glance, both of them filled with despair, as the number of water monkeys surrounding them was clearly considerable.
Now they can't escape either; if a fight breaks out, they'll be ganged up on.
