Not only me, but others also noticed that the water was becoming turbid, and they all looked a little panicked.
Even Liu Wensan's speed was a little faster. At this time, there were more than 20 people around him, and only a few people were still fighting.
I immediately made a gesture, telling everyone to shrink their formation.
Initially we dispersed and swam in a circle, but soon it shrank and became basically a small circle, with almost everyone stuck together.
At this time, I also discovered something strange. The turbidity only remained outside a certain range.
Probably this range has not spread to the center, as if there is a clear differentiation here.
Outside the center of the Red River is the turbid water, and the black shadows that move from time to time give people a strong threat.
At this moment, Liu Wensan had already defeated all the corpse-catchers who had hit him.
They all went upstream, and I gestured again to slightly move away from the area we had circled. We did not reach the turbid water area, but it was just enough for these corpse fishermen to swim in the formation.
Liu Wensan swam up to me, his expression clearly showing confusion.
In fact, I now know clearly that it was the water ghouls that made the water turbid, but I don't understand why they don't continue to approach.
Are there any other questions? But the remains of those who fished for corpses clearly showed that they could enter this area.
Is it related to the collision with other corpse hunters?
When I thought about this, I felt something was wrong. I must have overlooked something...
But it's okay if they don't attack now, because the twenty or so corpse hunters who have just solved the problem are basically at the end of their game. If something happens again, they will definitely report it here.
Liu Wensan asked me what to do through lip language, and I no longer hesitated. First, considering the safety of the person who retrieved the body, I made an upstream gesture.
The next moment, we maintained our formation and swam upward...
This time we were much faster.
It took about seven or eight minutes to reach the position close to the hull.
After directly surfacing, the twenty or so corpse collectors boarded the boat first.
There were obviously no other accidents above the water. Shen Ji looked shocked at first, but soon returned to his usual calmness.
After those people got on the boat, they all looked frightened and panted heavily. They were obviously suffering from lingering fears for the rest of their lives.
A group of us were also floating on the water. I said in a deep voice to Shen Ji on the boat: "Don't let anyone leave this central water area. There are already problems in the water next to it."
Shen Ji nodded quickly and didn't ask anything else.
Liu Wensan's voice was obviously thicker and he said: "Sixteen, something is wrong, right? Do you still want to go on?"
The corpse fishers in the rest of the water also looked uneasy, but they didn't say much and were all listening to my opinions.
After a moment of silence, I said: "I think...it's not that these water ghouls don't want to kill us, but that they really don't dare to enter this central location rashly, and require certain conditions to enter. This may be the same as in the water." Something related to that.”
"Something?" Liu Wensan frowned, then blurted out: "Corpse?"
During the hesitation, I didn't nod or shake my head. I took a deep breath and said, "You'll have to go down and take a look to find out. Now it seems like they didn't do anything and we rescued people, but in fact, we can't get out..."
As I spoke, I turned around and looked around.
The fog around the water is still hazy, and you can vaguely see the dark heads floating on the water... I'm afraid there are more than a hundred.
There are also some white hairs vaguely mixed in among them.
If you want to get out of the boat now, you will have to enter this nest of water ghouls, not to mention how many water ghouls there are in the water...
"Whether it's a corpse or something, we have to get it before we can leave normally. We also have to be careful not to get into trouble...otherwise, we may end up..."
After a pause, I continued: "There is a possibility that if we collide, these water ghouls can come in and kill people..."
Liu Wensan's eyelids were twitching wildly. He pursed his lips tightly and suddenly squeezed out a few words between his teeth: "Is it because of this that the first corpse collectors died in the past years?"
I was silent for a moment and replied that I was not sure.
After hesitating for a moment, I said again: "Uncle Wen, come to my place."
Liu Wensan was confused and asked me that he didn't understand the formation, so what was the use of him coming to my position?
I pondered for a moment and told him that firstly, because there were not enough manpower just now, I stood in the death position to fix the formation, and secondly, because he was moving in the water just now, there was more space for him to help.
And now it is speculated that the biggest danger underwater is not the water ghoul, but the inexplicable ghosts. If he does it, the risk will be too great. He stands in my position and ensures that the death position remains, and the other positions are different. There were two of us and we continued into the water.
This is equivalent to the formation they formed to protect me. When I come to explore the situation at the bottom of the river, even if there is trouble, it will not affect me so easily.
Liu Wensan nodded thoughtfully and said something.
Liu Wensan and I exchanged places.
Then I plunged into the water suddenly, and the thirty corpse collectors followed me and Liu Wensan and swam to the bottom of the river again.
During this process, I vaguely saw a piece of clothing floating on the huge rock underwater. Although it was far away, I could vaguely see it clearly. It seemed to be a red wedding dress...
