the last gentleman

Chapter 17
Even during the day,
The surface of the lake is also filled with thick fog,

Not to mention overlooking the other shore, even the center of the lake cannot be reached.

This kind of old-fashioned pedal boat is very laborious, and the rotating shaft will make a blunt friction sound every time it turns.
The trampling feeling transmitted to the legs gives people a sense of restraint in the mud,
As the boats gradually went deeper into the lake, everyone felt more and more how huge this green lake was... like a huge mouth with no visible edge, which might swallow intruders at any time.

on the ship

A huge man with a huge sword on his back sits in front of a woman in a feather-trimmed hat,

Yi Chen and the blonde Edmund were side by side.

The staff sat on the bow of the boat, staring at the four of them with wide eyes, especially the trampling behavior of their feet, as if they were supervising slaves.

"Though the passengers in front were safe,

But this lake always gives me a very bad feeling~ If something goes wrong in the middle, we may need to be forced to cooperate.

Let me introduce myself again,

My name is Edmond and I am from the Mariano family. "

He continued to introduce the two companions, and stretched out his hand to pat the broad back muscles of the man in front,
"His name is Dagbert, and he is a warrior from the north. Part of this body comes from blood, and part comes from the carving and polishing of extreme cold... In the future, he must be a powerful gentleman.

As for this beautiful lady, she is a good friend from the training ground, Juliana. "

"William."

After Yi Chen softly reported the name of the original owner of the body, he continued:

"Also, I don't recommend small talk here..."

"Ok."

end of introduction,

Focus on the lake,

Due to the potential risk of disease and the rules of boating, everyone was very honest and did not touch the lake to die. They just observed the lake with their naked eyes.

While gazing at the lake for a long time, Yi Chen,

Unexpectedly, I felt a sense of peeping from the depths of the lake... as if there was something terrifying staring at me from the bottom.

When this feeling was passed on to Little Putao, it was so greedy that it oozes a lot of saliva.

"There seems to be something delicious down there!"

Just when everyone was observing and vigilant about the situation between the lakes.

click~
The pedal boat suddenly stuck, and the main paddle seemed to be entangled by something.

"Aquatic plants? Or something else?"

Considering the unknown dangers,

Yi Chen did not poke his head out recklessly to observe the water surface, but stretched out his right arm to observe the situation under the boat through the little grape hidden between his cuffs.

Through the clear water of the lake,
A lot of unsettling things are seen - hair.

Thick black hair wrapped around the oars,
Underneath the hair also corresponds to a swollen corpse.

After Yi Chen briefly explained the situation, the three members of Edmund's team also became vigilant, and one of them had already held the weapon

at this time,

The unblinking, glazed-eyed staff member instinctively performed his duties.

He put on a pair of plastic gloves that reached to the elbows, leaned half of his body out of the stern, and started to clean the entanglements on the oars.

see,

Yi Chen and Edmund, who were sitting in the back row, also grabbed the little brother's clothes to prevent him from accidentally falling into the lake.

Seeing that one black hair was pulled out, everyone was about to get out of trouble.

The body of the staff froze,
An unimaginable strange force came... The power is so great~ hiss!
In the hands of Yi Chen and Edmund, only the torn hem of the cloth was left,

The employee brother fell into the water in an instant and disappeared.

Snapped!
The blond-haired Edmund changed his usual friendly look, his eyes were determined, and he snapped his fingers at the same time,
Everyone on alert,

Be alert around you,

However, nothing terrible has emerged from the calm lake for the time being.

Drops of sweat slid down Edmund's forehead, and he said with some embarrassment:

"Obviously the previous tourists were all fine, but there was a problem when they came to us... Is it a coincidence? Or is someone among us being targeted by something in the lake?"

These words immediately reminded Yi Chen of walking by the lake last night and accidentally throwing the 'sheriff' into the lake.

but,

Edmund soon confessed himself,

"The three of us killed several sick individuals in the small town after the party last night, which may have angered the existence behind it.

I'm sorry to have accidentally involved you, William. "

Yi Chen responded coldly:

"Think about how to leave this lake."

Half of the black hair between the oars has not been removed. If you continue to clean it, it is likely to be dragged down.

At this time,

Dagbert from the North took the initiative to stand up,
The broad greatsword in his hand could be used as a handmade oar, and he had rowed a boat before when he lived in the North.

The great sword plunged into the lake,

Swipe left and right alternately,

With just one person's strength, the ship moved quickly, more than twice as fast as before.

It is worth noting that

The black hair wrapped around the oars was dragged along with the corpse, the scene was a little weird.

however,
The danger is not broken,

The large ripples produced by the giant sword's stroke seemed to wake up something sleeping at the bottom of the lake,

As the circles of ripples sway,

Some black silhouettes about the size of a human body loomed under the water surface... They swayed their soft, slender bodies and approached the ship.

see,

Edmund patted his companion's muscular shoulder lightly with one hand,

"Dagbert, you just keep rowing in a straight line...we'll do the rest."

"Ah."

After all,

Edmund took the feathered pistol in his left hand, loaded the silver bullet,
Holding the silver-plated dagger tightly in his right hand, he looked around with eagle-like sharp eyes.

Juliana leaned over and took out the dagger from between her boots, and also assumed a standard fighting stance.

Yi Chen took out the silver ax from his waist, and put the little grape on his shoulder.

"coming!"

Wow~ Water splashes!

An arm covered in fish scales and studded with shellfish clutches the side of the boat.

When a badly soaked head emerged from the water, the cold muzzle of the gun was already on top of the head.

Bang~ The sound of the gun tore apart the curtain of silence between the lakes.

Red bodily fluid spread on the surface of the water, and the first weird murloc who found trouble sank to the bottom of the lake.

After finishing the kill, Edmund took the time to give a reminder:
"To deal with this kind of parasitic guy, you only need to destroy the brain... They haven't evolved into real [patients] yet, so it's not particularly troublesome to deal with.

But be careful,
Don't let them wreck the boat, I don't want to end up in this dirty, disgusting green lake. "

The voice just fell,

Three pairs of arms reach out to the ship from different directions,
Puffy and erosive, protruding mouths and fangs protruded from the head.

With a precise swordplay, the blond Edmund sent the dagger in his right hand into the target's face, breaking open the brain inside.

With a backhand swing, Juliana thrust the dagger horizontally into the target's temple... even faster.

Compared with the well-trained two people,

Yi Chen, a "half-way monk" traveler, is naturally inferior in many aspects.

but,

Facing the danger in the lake in front of us,
A strong desire to kill the target is formed in the brain,

Driven by this will,
Strips of plant roots drilled out from the back of the hand and between the palms, wrapped around the hand axe, and even combined with the hickory handle of the axe.

Make Yi Chen hold it tighter,
waved more powerfully,

kill!

The silver light flicked across and landed on the mermaid's neck with precision.

fish scales,

flesh,

cervical spine,

All possible obstacles to the slash did not take effect.

Swish!
A swollen and festered head was thrown into the air, and just landed on the ship.

When this head still wants to crawl and cause damage to Yi Chen,
A ball of black meat jumped off Yi Chen's shoulder,

The two 'grapes' that swallowed the mermaid's head instantly penetrated further into the eye sockets, eating up all the fresh sashimi inside the head.

When seeing this scene,

Whether rowing Dagbert,

It was the other two who were in the battle, and they both cast surprised glances, and their evaluation of Yi Chen went up another level.

……

With the joint battle of the people,
After killing almost twenty diseased mermaids from the lake,

Ship docked.

The body wrapped around the oars was also dragged ashore.

When Yi Chen saw the appearance of the corpse, his body trembled.

This body with thick long hair turned out to be the sheriff he threw into the lake... But in my impression, the sheriff obviously had short hair.

It's as if the lake has the effect of a petri dish, and the creatures that are put into it will all be stimulated to accelerate their growth.

"Is it really my fault..."
