With some speculation in my mind, I paused, took out the copper mourning stick from my waist, used it as a digging stick, and began to dig out the river sand.
Before I went to solve the problem at Tang Zhishu's house, the merchant gave me the mourning stick and the ghost knife. After he adjusted the weight of these two things, I carried them with me.
I use the mourning stick as a digging tool, and I use extreme caution.
If I'm not careful, if I hit the corpse with a mourning stick, it will be damaged. But if I dig with my bare hands, I'm afraid of being hurt by the corpse.
This underwater corpse is still in this place where the Yin Qi is most concentrated and reflected by the moonlight. I dare not relax my vigilance at all.
The mourning stick is both a tool and a weapon of self-defense.
After a few minutes, a lot of the surrounding river sand was dug away. The surge of water also dispersed the rest of the river sand, revealing half of the body...
He has a bald head similar to that of Liu Wensan, but he is obviously older and has vertical lines between his eyebrows.
His eyes were extremely wide, and he was over fifty years old, with many wrinkles on his face.
When I saw the bald head, I knew he was a corpse hunter.
There was a rope wrapped around his shoulders, but the rope was in tatters and had broken stubble on it.
The green linen jacket had been soaked in water for so many years and had become rotten. However, he was not drowned!
There was a huge wound on his neck, and his throat was clearly bitten by something!
At that time, my scalp felt numb.
This person who fished out the body should also be one of the people who went into the water to fish out the body of Jiang Pan’s daughter?
It is really dangerous underwater. I had previously speculated whether it was because of Feng Shui that there was something wrong with the body that prevented the person from getting up.
Now I have completely given up on this idea. There is something under the water that is killing the corpse collector!
It is also for this reason that the corpse collectors in the Panjiang River Basin are being killed!
I hesitated for a moment and gave up my plan to fish out the body now.
The top priority at the moment is to find Jiang Pan's daughter.
I became even more cautious because I didn’t know what killed the corpse hunter.
Could it be that Jiang Pan’s daughter turned into a murderous corpse?
This possibility is not impossible. She died miserably or committed suicide. Even if the evil spirit was not transformed back then, she would definitely become a corpse in these years.
Besides..., is there something underwater?
I suppressed my thoughts, calmed my mind, and continued searching.
This time, I put away the mourning stick and pulled out the ghost knife.
Following the location of the center, I probably used the temperature I felt on my body as a cue to look around.
If the coldness becomes less, you have left the center of the Red River...
The constant coldness means that I am still within this range.
Finding this circle made me particularly frightened.
I found the bodies of at least eight corpse hunters.
The man I found at the beginning actually died in the most dignified manner.
Those found later were either crushed under some rocks and their limbs were rotten, or they were impaled by some sharp stones at the bottom of the river.
What's more, the head, face, arms, and legs were all torn apart beyond recognition, and the remains were pinned down by stones.
I gradually thought of a possibility...
This made me even more frightened, and I searched much faster.
And I also feel that there are things staring at me in the dark places underwater...
It's just that the more anxious I am, the more I can't find anything.
I searched the entire underwater center at least twice, but still found nothing.
I even started to guess, could it be that the body of Jiang Pan’s daughter has gone elsewhere over the years?
At this time, the oxygen bottle on my back was almost running out of oxygen.
After hesitation, I decided to go ashore first and then think of a solution.
I can't say... I might have to take Jiang Pan's body into the water.
This is a big risk. If corpses get into the water on the road, if you go the wrong way, something very dangerous might come out of the water.
But if we don't do that, it will be too difficult to find a body that has fallen into the water for decades...
Just after I swam a certain distance upstream, the feeling of being stared at behind me suddenly became much stronger...
I was startled and turned around suddenly.
What I just saw was the underwater boulder.
Suddenly, in the shadow of the boulder, there seemed to be a thin figure lying there looking at me...
My body trembled again and I looked straight at the shadow.
It's just that the distance is really far, and the underwater flashlight can't shine through.
Did I just miss it? My subconscious intuition told me that the thin figure might really be that of a woman.
I gave up on the water surface and turned around to continue swimming downstream.
After a few minutes, I arrived at the shadow.
Here is the slope of the boulder. There is a gap just enough for a person to get in.
But after I came over, that thin figure disappeared...
I subconsciously looked into the gap.
As a result, as soon as I looked over, a pair of eyes so dark that they penetrated suddenly appeared from the gap, staring straight at me!
This sudden shock made me bite my tongue hard!
