Chapter 442: Evil Spirit in the Well
When he approached the belly of the giant beast, he raised the Tianshi Sword and stabbed it hard at the place where the scales were of different colors.
The Tianshi Sword pierced into the giant beast's abdomen, and a stream of black blood gushed out.
The giant beast let out an earth-shaking scream and its body began to tremble violently.
Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong also took the opportunity to attack. Their attacks hit the giant beast's abdomen, causing it even more pain.
The giant beast struggled frantically, and its body began to hit the walls and statues of the ruined temple uncontrollably.
The dilapidated temple was shaking under its impact, and tiles on the roof kept falling off.
"We have to leave here quickly, the dilapidated temple is about to collapse!" Lin Feihong shouted.
The three of them hurriedly ran towards the gate of the ruined temple. Behind them, the giant beast's struggle became more and more violent, and huge cracks began to appear on the walls of the ruined temple.
When they ran out of the gate, they heard a loud bang and the dilapidated temple collapsed under the struggle of the giant beast.
Dust filled the air, and they could vaguely see the silhouette of a giant beast gradually disappearing into the ruins.
"Finally got rid of this big guy." Lin Qingyao said while panting.
"But we can't let our guard down. The mastermind behind this hasn't been found yet." Chen Yile said, his eyes still full of vigilance.
They rested for a while outside the ruined temple and then continued to search for clues in the village.
They found some new clues near an abandoned well not far away.
There were some strange water stains on the ground around the well. The water stains were a dark red color, like a mixture of blood and water.
Moreover, there were some fresh scratches around the wellhead. The scratches were very deep, as if left by some huge claws.
"There might be something here." Chen Yile said, looking at the wellhead.
"Should we go down and take a look?" Lin Qingyao asked hesitantly.
"It seems that we have no choice but to go down and take a look. Maybe we can find clues about the mastermind behind this." Chen Yile said.
They approached the wellhead cautiously and looked down.
It was pitch black down there, and a chill and dampness hit me in the face, mixed with a faint stench of decay.
Chen Yile took out a torch from his backpack, lit it, and threw it down the well.
Torches burned in the well, illuminating a small area around it.
They saw that the walls of the well were covered with moss and some unknown black plants. These plants trembled slightly under the light of the torches, as if they had life.
On the water surface under the well, some tattered clothes and bones were floating. The shapes of the bones were distorted, as if they had experienced great pain.
"This place down there must be something complicated." Lin Feihong said with a frown.
Chen Yile found a rope, fixed one end of the rope to a tree near the wellhead, then grabbed the rope and began to slowly descend the well.
Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong followed him and went down the well one after another.
When they went down to the surface of the water in the well, Chen Yile felt a strong suction coming from under the water, as if it was going to pull them down.
"Everyone be careful, there is a problem underwater!" Chen Yile shouted.
They held on to the rope tightly, resisting the suction.
Suddenly, something swam quickly underwater, approaching them.
Ripples began to appear on the water surface, and a huge black shadow was looming underwater.
"Prepare for battle!" Chen Yile said, he gripped the Tianshi Sword tightly, ready to deal with the impending danger.
As the shadows got closer, they finally saw what was underwater.
It was a huge water monster. Its body was like a giant python, but its head was like a crocodile with fangs.
The monster's eyes were like two green lanterns, flashing strange light in the dark water.
The water monster opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards them, spewing out a powerful stream of water from its mouth.
The current hit them and almost washed them off the rope.
Chen Yile steadied his body and swung the Tianshi Sword towards the water monster, and a stream of sword energy shot towards the water monster.
The sword energy passed through the water, creating a string of bubbles, but did not cause much damage to the water monster.
The water monster seemed to be angered by Chen Yile's attack. It sped up and wrapped around Chen Yile.
Its huge body was as flexible as a rope, and it instantly wrapped Chen Yile tightly.
Chen Yile felt his body being wrapped tighter and tighter, and it was difficult to breathe.
"Yile!" Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong shouted anxiously.
Lin Qingyao swung the Qingfu Sword and slashed at the water monster's body.
The Qingfu Sword slashed at the water monster, leaving only a shallow mark on its scales.
Lin Feihong used a free stick to attack the water monster's head, trying to make it let go of Chen Yile.
But the water monster was too powerful. It ignored the attacks of Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong and continued to tighten its body, trying to strangle Chen Yile to death.
Chen Yile tried hard to stay awake while being entangled by the water monster.
He concentrated his energy, gathered the spiritual power in his body into his hands, and then stretched them out with force.
Spiritual power burst out from his hands, forming a powerful force that temporarily broke free from the water monster's entanglement.
He took the opportunity to break free from the water monster and swam towards the surface.
Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong hurriedly followed. They swam out of the water, gasping for breath.
"This water monster is too difficult to deal with." Chen Yile said, his face covered with water droplets and sweat.
"We have to find a way to lure it out of the water." Lin Qingyao said.
They were discussing countermeasures near the wellhead when suddenly Chen Yile saw a protruding rock above the wellhead.
An idea suddenly occurred to him and he thought of a solution.
"We can use a rope to connect the rock and the water monster, and then lead it out of the water," said Chen Yile.
They acted quickly, tying one end of the rope to the rock and making a slip knot at the other end.
Then they went into the water again and swam towards the monster.
When they approached the water monster, Chen Yile took the noose of the rope and put it on the monster's body.
The water monster seemed to sense their intention and began to struggle.
But after some effort, Chen Yile and others finally succeeded in putting the rope around the water monster.
"Pull!" Chen Yile shouted.
The three of them worked together to swim towards the wellhead, pulling the rope at the same time.
The water monster was pulled by the rope and had to swim towards the surface of the water.
As its head emerged from the water, it let out an angry roar.
Chen Yile and others took the opportunity to launch an attack.
Chen Yile swung the Tianshi Sword and stabbed towards the water monster's eyes.
Lin Qingyao and Lin Feihong also attacked the water monster's head and neck respectively.
The water monster struggled in pain under their attack.
Its body kept rolling near the wellhead, splashing huge water.
When the water monster was rolling, Chen Yile discovered that there was a glowing spot on its belly, and the scales there seemed to be more fragile.
"Attack its abdomen, that's its weak point!" Chen Yile shouted.
