"who?"
The only people standing behind me were Cui Hao and Zhang Xu.
This force came from directly behind me, and it could not be Wang Wangyang next to me.
And the moment I fell.
I watched helplessly as Wang Wangyang's body followed the accident and fell into the middle of the river pool along with me.
I immediately looked back behind me.
On the river bank, Zhang Xuzheng stood on the edge of the river bank with a gloomy face, and at his feet lay the unconscious Cui Hao.
"Zhang Xu, it's you?"
Zhang Xu raised his head and gave me a cold smile.
The next second, I fell directly into the black pond.
The moment I fell into the pool, the water pressure around me suddenly intensified. It was like I was falling into quicksand. The more I struggled, the deeper I sank.
I kept waving my arms and legs, trying to swim to the surface of the pool, but it was to no avail.
My body sank deeper and deeper, and the water in the surrounding black pool became more and more sticky. It seemed to be sticking to my hands and feet, and then pulled me down heavily.
"Help!"
Not far from me, Wang Wangyang was also struggling.
His struggling movements were a bit slower than mine, but he didn't sink as much as I did.
"Is it really similar to quicksand?"
I quickly calmed down and stopped shaking my arms and legs.
And it turned out to be just as I guessed. As I stopped moving my hands and feet, I slowly floated in the middle of the water and stopped sinking.
"Wang Wangyang, stay still."
I shouted this immediately to warn Wang Wangyang not to struggle anymore.
He was obedient.
I stopped quickly, and my body really floated on the water like mine and stopped sinking.
We both looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
I slowly swayed my body and gradually turned in one direction.
From the corner of my eye, I accidentally noticed that Zhang Xu, who was standing on the edge of the river bank, had disappeared.
Cui Hao, who had been knocked to the ground by him, also disappeared.
"What's wrong with that guy? Why did he want to harm both of us?"
Wang Wang was furious and shouted at me.
I actually feel that this Zhang Xu seemed to have completely changed as a person when he disappeared.
Every time Zhang Xu saw me, there was a bit of coldness in his eyes.
It's just that I thought he was frightened, that's why he had this expression, so I didn't take it to heart.
Now it seems that something was wrong with Zhang Xu from that time on.
"Zhang Ji, Zhang Xu!"
I thought about their names and recalled the scene when I saw them.
Suddenly, something moved in my heart.
You must know that Zhang Xu’s cold and piercing eyes just now are not something I have never seen before.
When we were under the ancient tomb before, I had a battle with Zhang Ji. When he saw me, he also had such a cold look.
As for Zhang Xu, he has always been quite kind from beginning to end and has never shown such hostility.
"Could it be that the person we brought back at that time was not Zhang Xu, but Zhang Ji who had long since disappeared in the woods?"
If this is the case, then everything will be explained.
Zhang Ji disguised himself as Zhang Xu and lurked beside us.
But I still don’t know what his purpose is.
While I was staring at the edge of the river bank in a daze.
I suddenly found that the golden thread that was floating on the bank of the river started to shake violently.
Jingxun swayed rapidly, and bubbles of water bubbled up around the golden thread, bursting quickly after emerging from the water.
"Something's wrong, there's something."
I realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere around me, so I quickly turned my head and looked around.
In an instant, I was so shocked by what I saw in front of me that I felt cold all over, and I was so stiff that I didn't dare to move at all.
"Wang Wangyang, don't move."
With a trembling voice, I shouted in his direction.
At the same time, I swayed my hands and feet as slightly as possible, trying to get closer to the river bank.
Wang Wangyang was confused by me, and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of my gaze.
Before I could stop him, he turned his head and saw the thing standing next to him.
In an instant, Wang Wangyang was so frightened that his hands and feet fluttered, and he quickly struggled above the water.
I already knew that something bad would happen to him once he saw that thing.
As Wang Wangyang struggled, the surface of the river was really like quicksand, gradually rippling in all directions. The ripples slowly went downwards, and his body sank a few minutes later.
"What the hell is this and what should I do?"
Wang Wangyang was completely anxious, and he used his hands and feet to flap even more violently.
"Stop, don't move. If you keep shaking like this, you will sink into the water and drown before this thing kills you."
After my warning, Wang Wangyang finally calmed down.
He barely floated above the water, his eyes kept spinning, his hands and feet were stiff and he didn't dare to move at all.
I breathed a sigh of relief, at least this way he wouldn't continue to sink.
I looked up at the dark figure beside him.
I saw an extremely strong figure floating in front of Wang Wangyang.
This person was completely covered in darkness, as if he had completely blended into the dark pool, and it was impossible to see the thing's face clearly.
But we can all clearly see that there are two red eyes on the upper part of this thing's face, staring at Wang Wangyang intently.
In addition, there are two of his arms floating on the river.
The arms of this thing were extremely long, nearly two meters long. On top of the huge dry arm, there was a palm that was twice as big as an average person's hand.
On the palm as big as a cattail leaf, there are long nails on the tips of several fingers. The ends of the nails are extremely sharp, like sharp knives, glowing with a cold light.
Wang Wangyang kept swallowing his saliva.
He kept shaking his eyes at me, sticking out the tip of his tongue and pointing to the river bank next to him.
"Come on, I'm here to attract this guy's attention. You can find a way to run to the shore first, and then come and rescue me."
When Wang Wangyang said these words, he put on a posture of looking forward to death.
He also knew that even if I got to the river bank, I might not have a chance to save him from this guy.
The distance between the two of them is really too close.
The black shadow and Wang Wangyang were only half a meter apart. The black shadow's long hair hung down on the pool water, floating and spreading like algae.
A few strands of hair were swaying slightly with the waves of the pool, forming a circle and wrapping Wang Wangyang in it.
I also noticed that a few strands of hair seemed to be floating in my direction.
The target of this thing is not just Wang Wangyang, I am also one of his meals.
But I also want to run, but I can't find any chance at all.
As long as I shake my body slightly, my body will sink and I can't find a way back to the shore.
"Wang Wangyang, just hold on and I'll think of another way."
If you can't swim to the river bank, you have to figure out what's going on with the dark pool below you.
Only by removing the root cause can we find a way to escape.
A few strands of dark hair were still spreading to my side, and one of them had already been stretched out in front of me, testing it a few times in front of my face.
The hair was flowing and gently wrapped around my wrist.
I can clearly feel that my silent limbs under the pool have been wrapped and entangled by this heavy hair.
Although this thing didn't pull me under the river, it just wrapped tightly around my hands and feet, but I also knew that if this continued, the only outcome would be death for the two of us.
I gritted my teeth and shook my right hand slightly.
But the moment I shook, the hair seemed to be drawn into a steel wire, and it cut my wrist sharply.
Then my right wrist hurt, and it seemed like liquid flowed out from the scratched wound and mixed with the surrounding black water.
A burning pain spread across my wrist, and I couldn't help but growl in pain.
Wang Wangyang also let out a scream. He seemed to be in the same state as me, and his hands and feet were entangled by this thing.
"The worst case scenario is death, and you'll have to carry someone on your back."
If I really died in this water today for no apparent reason, I would be too frustrated.
I simply struggled with my hands and feet, ignoring the scratches on my wrists and ankles, as well as my sinking body.
I'm going to pull out Shang Fang's sword and fight to the death. Even if I'm going to die, I still have to look at a few strands of his hair.
Maybe I struggled too hard, and my body gradually sank. In addition, there were also cuts on my hands and feet.
The severe pain made me roar and scream.
But I know this is my only chance.
The black pool of water has slowly spread upwards, reaching my neck.
There was despair in my heart.
I was probably going to die and there would be no chance of escaping from below.
And just as I was sinking, suddenly there was a roar from the river bank.
"Made, what the hell, let go of these two."
I looked back in surprise.
On the river bank at this time, Cui Hao was holding up his glass cup, took out a box of medicinal powder, and sprinkled it into the black water pool.
Just less than half a second.
The water pool seemed to be boiling. Under the water pool, black hair-like creatures were constantly floating upward, and dense water bubbles rose and burst above the water pool.
The figure that originally appeared next to Wang Wangyang also suddenly started to roll, and his face seemed to be twisted in pain.
I suddenly found that I seemed to be able to move.
I shook my hands and feet, although blood was still coming out of the newly scratched wound, and pain came in waves.
But as long as I swim, I can gradually float on the water and will not continue to sink.
"Wang Wangyang, swim towards me quickly."
I yelled at Wang Wangyang and swam directly in his direction.
I have to bring him back to shore alive today.
