Chapter 23: Jinx

As soon as he finished speaking, they saw a strange big fish in the churning water.
Its head was huge, and razor-sharp teeth covered its entire mouth.
Looking at it, it was scarier than a shark.
Fortunately, it was not as big as a shark.
The young man widened his eyes: “Holy sh*t!”
The middle-aged man said, “Didn’t you say that a chicken, duck, and fish will appear? Last time, it was the chicken. This time, it’s the fish.”
“Look at its teeth. They’re as sharp as knives. Is this a fish that can be served? I think it wants to put me on the table.”
The sound of splashing water followed closely behind. How could a person outrun water?
Seeing that they were about to be drowned by the water, the two immediately decided to use the black cloth beside them.
They tied their pants around their waists first, then grabbed the black cloth and climbed up.
“Sir, is this cloth able to withstand our weight? If we tear it accidentally, we will be wrapped into a cocoon.”
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said while sweating, “You can chant in your heart that you have no intention of damaging the black cloth. We are only asking for help from the black cloth.”
“Oh okay.”
The young man muttered as he crawled, “Sir Judge, I really have no intention of damaging the black cloth. Really, I treat the black cloth like my first love. Why would I want to destroy it? I’m asking for its help.”
The middle-aged man: “…”
The two of them grabbed the black cloth and tried their best to climb up. When they were about a meter away from the ground, the water covered the ground.
“Continue climbing. This height is not enough.”
“Okay.”
The two of them continued climbing upwards.
The black cloth swayed left and right.
The young man quickly used his foot to wrap around the black cloth and made a stepping point to stabilize himself.
Then, he taught this method to the middle-aged man.
Wiping his sweat, he said proudly, “I learned this from my uncle who is in the military.”
“Not bad, you’ve learned well.”
The river water on the floor surged, but fortunately, the water level did not rise.
The big fish in the water gritted its teeth and tried to jump up to swallow them.
The youth said with a pale face, “Don’t tell me that from now on, the guardian beasts will be accompanied by a certain environment when they appear?”
“Haven’t you realized that you’re a jinx?”
“…Alright, I’ll shut up.”
…
Felicia and Nancy also climbed onto the black cloth.
The flood had come too suddenly, giving them no time to think of a way to deal with the guardian beast. They could only climb onto the black cloth and save themselves.
Felicia analyzed, “There’s nothing we can do unless we jump onto it, but it’s like a tadpole with a large head and a thin body. Furthermore, its skin is very smooth, so we won’t be able to stand. Even if we put on a belt, it will slip off.”
Nancy frowned and said softly, “It looks like there’s no other way.”
“We do. We can jump into the water and use the black cloth to entangle the big fish. We’ll trap it for ten minutes.”
Nancy said awkwardly, “But, I… I can’t swim, and I feel dizzy when I see water.”
The young lady looked guilty and helpless.
Felicia replied, “I’ll go alone, you can help me observe the big fish.”
“The teeth of the big fish are very sharp. If you aren’t careful, you will be bitten by it.”
Nancy clutched the black cloth tightly and said worriedly, “Felicia, why don’t we give up on this clue?”
Felicia said, “Even if we have to give up, I’m going to give it a try first.”
She bit her lip. “How about this? I’ll make some noise up there and attract the big fish’s attention to buy you some time.”
Felicia smiled, “Okay.”
The two of them grabbed onto the black cloth from both sides.
As Felicia slid down, Nancy moved the black cloth to create a commotion.
