The remaining people scanned the surroundings warily, obviously warning of danger.
This scene is really shocking to me.
I have always felt that those who fish for corpses work alone, there are many dangers underwater, and they are also prone to encounter water ghouls.
Often if you don't pay attention, you will die in the water.
With everyone like the Gou family, the safety in the water is greatly increased and the dangers are reduced.
Almost in a moment, the corpse in the crack hole was pulled out!
I was immediately horrified!
Because only half of the body that was pulled out was left!
Everything from the chest upwards has disappeared...even the arms are gone...
The light in the water is too dim, especially next to the rock. The rock itself is dark, making the sight even less clear.
Half of the body's chest was left, and the stubble wounds were extremely messy. It had clearly been gnawed by something.
Immediately I thought of the water ghoul.
Under the water, water ghouls make a living by chewing corpses.
Besides them, what else could eat corpses?
Not just me, everyone else was also on guard.
Gou Xuan moved even more quickly, and he quickly groped around the half of the corpse.
After a moment, he let go of his hand with a livid face, and the body sank downwards...
Since his upper body was gone, the green hemp rope on his body fell off from his chest when the body sank.
It was obvious that Gou Xuan had not found the corpse-fixing bead.
However, Gou Xuan had no intention of stopping.
He made a few gestures, and immediately, ten corpse collectors appeared in a stacked form, surrounding the entrance of the cave.
The next moment, Gou Xuan actually held a divination knife and drilled into the hole!
His movements were as flexible as a swimming fish, without any hindrance, and half of his body went into the hole!
Those who fished for corpses were extremely cautious, and I was also extremely vigilant, focusing all my attention on Gou Xuan's body...
He drilled deeper, almost more than two-thirds of his body was inside, leaving only a pair of calves outside.
This crack hole is much deeper than imagined!
But Gou Xuan's calves suddenly started to tremble, and even felt like they were tense!
I stared at the entrance of the cave in bewilderment, and the same was true for those who were collecting corpses.
The next moment, Gou Xuan's body began to withdraw.
At the same time, several corpse collectors reached out to grab Gou Xuan's waist and pulled him out hard!
Almost instantly, Gou Xuan was pulled out of the cave.
There were several scratches on his head and face, and his eyes were extremely fierce.
What made me look even more shocked was that he was holding something tightly in one hand without letting go. In the other hand, he was holding a ghastly-looking water ghoul with a small part of its hair that was white. .
The water ghoul was already dead, with a divination knife pierced in his chest, leaving only the handle outside.
Under the wash of the river, the blood dispersed in strands.
Gou Xuan made a gesture and nodded to me cautiously.
His gesture of waving his forearm from bottom to top, with his index and middle fingers together and raised upwards, means that everything is done, go ashore!
Then they quickly headed upstream.
Of course I didn't lag behind, I could barely keep up with them.
As soon as we swam up a short distance, I noticed that there seemed to be more shadows below.
I lowered my head and took a look. Even though my vision was very unclear, I could still tell that there were countless water ghouls densely appearing on the rocks, staring at us...
This sight made my body suddenly stiffen, because there were too many water ghouls...
So much so that I can't even tell how many there are. A rough look shows that there are hundreds at least...
Gou Xuan and others swam faster, and I was already slightly behind.
I bit the tip of my tongue hard, regained my composure, and speeded up a bit.
When we were almost close to the water, I followed Gou Xuan and the others...
The figures were crowded together, and I originally wanted to get onto the water from the side.
As a result, from top to bottom, suddenly a shadow came down and stepped heavily on the top of my head!
I groaned, bubbles popped out of my mouth, and I almost choked...
My head still couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and my whole body sank a lot.
When I looked up again, there were no shadows above. It was obvious that everyone was on the boat...
The feeling of oppression below was astonishingly heavy. I glanced down from the corner of my eye and all I could see were groups of water ghouls, approaching me quickly!
I was so frightened that I suddenly woke up and quickly headed upstream.
The kick just now was too heavy, my head was still a little sluggish, and my movements were much slower.
At this moment, another shadow suddenly appeared from above.
I was extremely vigilant at first, but soon I saw clearly that this person was Gou Xuan, wasn't he?
He quickly came to my side, grabbed my shoulders, and led me quickly towards the water.
With a splash, we emerged from the water at the same time.
Fresh air and normal breathing finally made me recover a lot.
Only then did I see that all the boats had dispersed and no longer looked like the rafts they had been before.
I quickly followed Gou Xuan onto his corpse boat.
Gou Xuan's face was solemn. He made a gesture, and immediately the ten corpse-retrieving boats changed their shapes and surrounded our corpse-retrieving boat.
The next moment, everyone began to punt the boats, and a total of eleven boats rowed forward in this encirclement form.
Gou Xuan was also punting the boat, and during this period we couldn't even talk.
While they were pushing the boat, they held the divination knife in their hands, their bodies slightly arched, and their eyes sharply scanning the water.
I raised my hand to support my head and gasped in pain.
Suddenly a voice said: "This is the first time I see a man who can't swim in the water, but he still needs to be rescued. I'm not targeting anyone. I think if you can be a gentleman, there is no need to fish for corpses again. Otherwise, sooner or later... God is dead in the water."
This was said very coolly. I squinted my eyes slightly and turned around to look. Wasn't it Gou Fu who was speaking?
His protruding chin, sharp aquiline nose, and sinister sneer really disgusted me from the bottom of my heart.
When I looked at him, he stamped his feet.
It seems like a very ordinary activity of muscles and bones.
Others don’t know what it means, but I know it very well!
Besides Gou Fu, who else would suddenly step on my head?
If I hadn't been on guard at that time, I might have died underwater by now.
The rest of the people were also punting the boat and looking at me with indifferent eyes. They were clearly mocking me for not overestimating my capabilities?
"Gou Fu, if you are rude again, I will definitely punish you when the master of the house wakes up!" Gou Xuan scolded sternly.
This time Gou Fu sneered and said back: "Consul, what I said is the truth. You asked me to respect him as Mr. Jiang's disciple. I respect him, but he is not qualified to be the leader."
