Chapter 73 Water Monkey
When my cousin saw the red glass beads in my hand, his eyes widened.
"Where did you get this?"
As he spoke, he tried to take the glass ball from my hand.
I handed the glass ball to him and answered him, "I saw it in the water, so when you pulled me just now, I shook your hand off."
"You can do it, kid!"
My cousin suddenly became excited. He put the glass beads into his treasure bag, then held my head and kissed me hard.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!"
I dodged and reached out to hit him.
Only then did my cousin laugh and let go of my head.
"This thing is the main tool to break this formation. You are so amazing. With this thing, we can leave here. Let's go quickly."
He said as he was about to stand up.
I turned on a high-powered flashlight and walked around the area. There was nothing here except this pond.
To leave here, perhaps we have to cross the pond.
"Can I get out of this pond?" I looked up at my cousin in confusion.
Only then did he feel something was wrong.
In this game, there is nothing except the water monkeys in the pond.
What we have to deal with in this round may be the water monkey in the pond.
Furthermore, if we want to leave here we must pass through the pond, so we cannot avoid the water monkeys.
But the only lucky thing is that the water in this pond is running water.
This proves that there must be an entrance and exit at the bottom of the pond, otherwise the water would have no way to flow. It is dark here, and with water monkeys living in it, the water will also stink.
The water looked clear now, but because it was so dark, we couldn't see the bottom of the water clearly and had no way of figuring out where the entrance and were.
"How many seconds did it take you to go down just now?" My cousin looked at me.
I knew he was probably going to use my diving speed and time to figure out how deep the pond was.
"Because of the water monkeys pulling me, it took me about 20 seconds to dive to the glass beads. But if we didn't have the help of the water monkeys and had to dive on our own, it would probably take twice as long."
I calculated the time, and this kind of time is not good for us.
It takes forty seconds to reach the storage point of the glass beads, and we have no idea how deep it is.
"This is indeed a bit troublesome." My cousin frowned as he listened.
We sat facing each other, speechless.
Now is not the time to rush. If this is the last inning, then we still have an hour to get out of here.
An hour later, it was daylight outside.
We must hurry and escape from here.
Although time is tight, we have to calm down first.
This is the only way to find a way to leave here.
"What is the main purpose of the water monkey pulling us into the water?" I asked my cousin.
On the one hand, he was quite knowledgeable about these obscene things, and on the other hand, he liked to observe some strange creatures.
So when he saw the bats on the top of the cave, he knew that they were blood-sucking bats, not the fruit bats that we usually see on the market that eat fruits.
"Two aspects. If they are not cannibals, then they may just be mischievous."
If they didn't eat human flesh...
But how can I know whether those water monkeys eat human flesh?
"I'm sure they are carnivores because there are fish in the pond, but there are no fruits, vegetables or anything like that nearby. So the only way they can avoid starvation is to eat the fish in the pond."
After hearing what he said, I turned and looked at him.
Although I have always known that he is a very smart person, I did not expect that his observation skills are so strong. Now he is like a god in my eyes.
To be honest, there was a moment when I thought he was my idol.
"But human flesh and fish flesh taste different. If they are used to eating fish flesh, they won't eat humans."
My brain buzzed!
That's good!
If water monkeys don't eat human flesh, then they were probably just being naughty when they pulled my feet in the water just now.
In fact, I should have known this long ago. If the water monkey really wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have kicked him away just now.
It is very likely that they have been trapped here for a long time, and saw that humans are so similar to them, so they started to act mischievous.
"Then I have an idea." I looked at my cousin with burning eyes.
My cousin looked at me quietly, as if he was listening attentively.
His appearance gave me great self-confidence, so I began to tell him my thoughts.
"We can lure the water monkeys out, make them think we are playing with them, and then pull us under the water. This way we can get twice the result with half the effort, saving time and energy. We can leave here quickly."
The cousin curled his lips and said, "You are quite smart, you are indeed a college student who studied in the city."
His words sounded a bit sarcastic, but I took it as a compliment.
"How about this, I'll return the glass beads to you. You're better at swimming, so go down first and open the door to leave here, and then I'll find a way to follow you. What do you think?"
I sneered, what a jerk.
Even though I am a good swimmer, there is a high chance that I will die underwater.
But I knew he had been injured just now, and his back was still bleeding. As soon as he got into the water, the fish would most likely pounce on him.
Then the water monkeys who want to eat the fish will most likely hurt him by mistake.
In this case, I have no choice but to be the vanguard.
"Okay, give me the glass beads and I'll go play with the water monkeys."
After taking the glass beads handed to me by my cousin, I walked to the edge of the pond alone.
Sure enough, there were a few water monkeys right under the pond, staring at me with burning eyes.
I first squatted by the edge and played with the water in the pond. A little water monkey was slowly approaching me.
When it approached the water, I reached out and touched its little head.
This little guy would be cute if he didn't hurt anyone.
I gently took some water with my hand and sprinkled it on its head, and it grinned happily.
Although its bared teeth look a bit scary, it is also quite gentle and you can tell it has no ill intentions.
Suddenly, my hand was grabbed by another big monkey.
I roughly knew what it was trying to do, so I took a deep breath, stored my breath, dived my head into the water, and disappeared.
