Chapter 3370: Chapter 3362: The True Face of the Water Monster
"Why are you two here?"
"Boss Liu said there was something going on here with you guys. After hearing a brief description, we both got curious and decided to come and take a look."
"This time, it’s really quite interesting," Lin Yi said with a smile:
"Underneath Horror Lake, there’s a monster. The GP4 team was injured by it."
"A monster?"
Both were shocked.
"The information has been confirmed, but we still don’t know what it is."
"GP4 is a very competent foreign team. The fact that they were injured means the monster is quite formidable. It should be on par with the creatures on the island."
"Which means, for this operation, we need to be well-prepared and act quickly before the Kaijie Group’s backup arrives because that will complicate things."
"Let’s not waste any time now. Before dawn breaks, let’s handle this matter swiftly."
Everyone grabbed their equipment and headed toward Horror Lake.
"Is everything normal here?" Lin Yi asked upon arriving at their destination.
"No outsiders have come here."
"Then let’s get to work."
The two of them brought a total of four underwater devices.
Once connected, they placed them underwater, then gathered in front of the screen to monitor the underwater situation.
The underwater world was similar to how it looked during the day.
With the help of lights, visibility was slightly better.
But it was still hazy.
The four underwater detectors explored in four different directions.
More than ten minutes passed without any abnormalities.
"Something’s up with the sonar," Qiu Yuluo said:
"Why is there still a disturbance up there?"
On another device, the sonar equipment was connected to the four underwater detectors.
Looking at the waveform display, there were fluctuations at varying levels.
Particularly, the equipment controlled by Luo Qi was reacting more strongly.
"Could it be some kind of biological magnetic field that’s interfering with the sonar equipment?" Tao Cheng asked.
"That’s possible. Keep checking."
"Boss, it seems our daytime discovery has been confirmed," Zhao Yunhu said:
"The whooshing sound isn’t an illusion; it’s likely coming from that monster."
"Hmm, what’s about to happen next is getting more and more interesting."
"Luo Qi’s situation is off; her device’s position is slightly off compared to the other three," Qiu Yuluo said.
Lin Yi looked at the screen.
The other three people were gathered in a ring-like area.
But Luo Qi had evidently ventured further, and she seemed to want to continue advancing.
Lin Yi took out the map and compared it with the screen’s position.
"Luo Qi seems to have entered a cave-like place," Yu Saiying said:
"On our southwest side, the land below should be hollow, part of this lake."
"Continue, see how far it extends."
Everyone’s attention was focused on the detector controlled by Luo Qi.
A few minutes later, the sonar showed a reaction, proving there was an obstruction not far ahead.
"Boss should be at the end, but there’s nothing to see."
"Try going left and right."
"Got it."
Zzz—
At that moment, the sound of harsh static electricity came through.
"It’s out, it’s out!"
Everyone saw a pair of blood-red eyes appear on the screen.
As big as fists, staring intently at the screen.
The next second, the blood-red eyes moved swiftly.
Accompanied by a massive shadow, it flashed before the device.
No chance for everyone to react!
In the next second, the instrument blacked out, along with electric buzzing and creaking sounds.
The car fell silent, tension spreading so that even a pin drop could be heard.
"Did you see what it was?" Tao Cheng asked.
Qiu Yuluo shook her head. "It was too fast to see anything, but I feel that it was at least over two meters long."
"The time is about right," Lin Yi said:
"Siying, Jianfeng, Hu Zi, grab your weapons and find a place with a clear view to stand guard. The others continue observing the underwater situation."
"Understood."
The three of them quickly left with their weapons.
Lin Yi put on a diving suit.
"What are you going to do?"
"I’m going down there to take a look."
"You’re crazy!"
Qiu Yuluo stopped Lin Yi. "It’s her territory underwater; if we go down, our combat power will be reduced by at least half."
"Given the situation, there’s no choice but to go down."
"I’ll go down with him; you stay here and coordinate," Tao Cheng said, also taking a diving suit.
"We’ll swim toward the southwest direction, and you guys try to use the detection equipment to lure the monster out."
"Be careful, this is no joke," Qiu Yuluo advised.
"I know; with the little salary they pay, who’s risking their life."
"You always say that, but at critical moments, you risk it more than anyone."
"Alright, let’s get to work."
After more than ten minutes, both were ready.
Lin Yi, holding two daggers, and Tao Cheng jumped into the lake, swimming southwest.
A few minutes later, Lin Yi pulled Tao Cheng, and the two stopped moving forward.
Meanwhile, they heard Qiu Yuluo’s voice through their headphones.
"We’ve found it; it’s moving toward your location at about 20 meters per second."
The two of them displayed slight nervousness on their faces.
On land, they were confident they could handle it.
But underwater, the difficulty was unpredictable.
Just then, they saw the light from the underwater detector moving rapidly toward them.
Qiu Yuluo’s voice came through again.
"Be careful, it’s about to arrive."
The two looked serious, ready for action.
About a few seconds later, they saw a giant shadow moving rapidly toward them.
The blood-red eyes lit up, intensifying the sense of pressure.
Lin Yi quickly swam in front of Tao Cheng.
Simultaneously, the water monster, with a tank-like impact, slammed into Lin Yi!
Enduring intense pain, Lin Yi took out two daggers and directly stabbed into the water monster.
At this very moment, the two got a clear view of the water monster in its entirety.
Massive body, over two meters long.
A giant mouth on its head, with sharp fangs inside.
But on both sides of its cheeks were something like fish gills.
Long fins, resembling arms.
What shocked them more was that it had two legs!
This kind of creature was beyond their understanding.
Even on the island, such bizarre things were rarely seen.
As the daggers pierced its skin, the water monster roared.
Its massive body thrashing underwater.
Tao Cheng, quick on the uptake, seized the opportunity for two more stabs.
Neither of them lingered in battle; once they got a hit, they swam upward.
And the enraged water monster followed them!
