Fortunately, our response speed is fast enough.
The moment Wang Wangyang was released, his body fell downwards, and at the same time he quickly slid his arms and swam towards me.
I immediately swam to him, grabbed Wang Wangyang and swam to the shore.
"Don't give up, let's go."
The two of us sped up and swam quickly towards the edge of the river bank, finally meeting Cui Hao.
Cui Hao grabbed the two of us and quickly dragged us to the river bank.
And behind us, there are countless black threads following closely, almost catching the back of our necks.
Fortunately, two of us jumped to the river bank.
The moment these black threads of resentment touched the edge of the river bank, they quickly retreated half a meter as if they were stopped by something.
Then, he reluctantly dived under the water.
I breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the ground breathing heavily.
"Cui Hao, what's going on? Where did you run just now?"
He was panting and it was obvious that he had just escaped.
Cui Hao stared at the woods behind us with complex eyes.
"Just now, Zhang Xu suddenly went crazy and knocked me unconscious. Then he dragged me into the dense forest. He didn't know what he wanted to do to me. I barely managed to escape from his hands, and then I saw the two of you. A person is entangled in something."
As he spoke, Cui Hao stared at the river bank in disbelief.
"What on earth was that just now? Is it also a rotting corpse? It looks about two meters high. It's so scary. It seems to be exactly the same as the giant rotting corpse we saw in the forest before."
I nodded, but I couldn't figure out why these things appeared here.
The forest is deep and dense, and many explorers have passed through this place. They may not have been able to escape, so they were buried in this place.
But the conditions for the formation of this rotting corpse are extremely harsh. I have never heard of a case of congenital formation. Only artificial preparation can raise such a rotting corpse.
Thinking of Zhang Ji who had escaped before, I looked up at Cui Hao.
"Fat man, the Zhang Xu we brought back just now is not him. It should be his twin brother Zhang Ji."
After hearing my words, Cui Hao was stunned.
He stared at my face in disbelief.
"What did you say? Who did you say?"
I sighed and repeated Zhang Ji's name again.
"The two of them look similar. It was Zhang Ji who suddenly attacked the two of us just now, and we fell into the pond. I suspect that Zhang Xu has encountered something unexpected now, and maybe he has hidden him somewhere."
Cui Hao opened his eyes in disbelief.
"Then what do we do?"
I waved my hand at him.
"Don't worry, we are searching the surrounding environment carefully to see if we can find the person. If we can't find him, we will go to the pond again."
As I said that, I picked up the rope on the shore.
"This time, we still tied our wrists with ropes and walked forward. But at the same time, we still searched side by side to better ensure the safety of the three of us. This guy Zhang Ji is elusive and seems to be particularly familiar with the jungle. The environment, if we are not careful and vigilant, we will definitely suffer in his hands."
Cui Hao nodded and took the initiative to tie the rope around his wrist.
He sighed helplessly.
"It's really troublesome. How could something like this happen?"
I also feel helpless. Originally we all thought Zhang Ji you had escaped from here.
Who would have thought that this guy would be hiding in the dark, trying to attack us all the time.
We once again went into the dense forest.
This time, the three of us lined up in a row and carefully searched around.
We kept shouting Zhang Xu's name loudly, trying to find him.
"Zhang Xu, where are you?"
There was silence in the forest, and the rustling of leaves could be vaguely heard, but there was no response.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of us.
I quickly patted them both and chased after the figure.
The three of us followed the figure and ran away in the dense forest.
This figure becomes more and more familiar the more we look at it, it seems that it is the Zhang Xu we are looking for.
"Zhang Xu, are you Zhang Xu? Or are you that bastard Zhang Ji?"
After hearing our shouts, the figure in front seemed to shake his body slightly and glanced back.
But that's all.
This guy didn't turn around and charge towards us, he just kept accelerating and ran forward.
Cui Hao was already injured and was running out of breath.
Wang Wangyang's condition is also not good.
The two of them followed me closely, and they were already a little behind me.
Wang Wangyang gasped heavily.
"Why do I think this guy should be Zhang Ji? It's probably not Zhang Xu. Are we still chasing him? Maybe this guy has set some trap ahead."
Of course I have this guess too.
But at the same time, I also want to catch this guy as soon as possible and force him to find out the whereabouts of Zhang Xu.
I believe that the two of them are twins after all, and Zhang Ji would not harm Zhang Xu.
But I'm not sure either.
If there is an accident, we cannot afford the consequences. After all, Zhang Xu helped me a lot when he was under the tomb. I can't just leave him here.
I waved my hands at both of them.
"How about I follow you and you two wait for me here?"
Continuing to run forward now is tantamount to consuming our energy.
In addition, I also vaguely saw that the wound on Cui Hao's thigh was already faintly bleeding out.
If this continues, I'm afraid Cui Hao might fall to the ground because of this.
Cui Hao slapped me on the shoulder.
"Nonsense, if the two of us stay here and you chase that insidious guy alone, what will happen if you are in danger?"
With that said, he looked at Wang Wangyang again.
"Furthermore, the two of us are quite powerless right now. One patient, Wang Wangyang, almost drowned and is not in a good condition. You are so relieved to leave us here, so you are not afraid of the two of us. Are you going to die here?"
I took a breath.
What Cui Hao said is exactly what I am worried about.
But I don’t have that many choices, and I can only arrange what seems reasonable.
Seeing my silence, Cui Hao took the initiative to grab my arm and rush forward.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense here. The correct answer is that we get that guy back as soon as possible. In any case, Zhang Xu is not only your friend, but also our friend."
I said no more, nodded and dragged Cui Hao forward together.
But I noticed that the guy in front seemed to have a tendency to tease us.
As we speed up, his speed will gradually get faster.
But whenever we find that our speed is slowing down, this guy will slowly slow down until we can keep up.
When I judged this, I immediately pulled them both.
"Don't worry, let's move forward slowly."
Saying that, I took the initiative to stop.
As expected, as we stopped, the guy in front also stopped quickly, and he turned back to look at us cautiously.
With the help of the dim light around me, I could clearly see this guy's face.
As expected, this person is not Zhang Xu, but Zhang Ji who just attacked us.
I shouted to the front.
"Zhang Ji, what do you want to do?"
A look of surprise flashed across his face, but he didn't answer my question, but still ran a step forward.
But after he discovered that I didn't know how to chase him, his speed quickly slowed down.
A look of helplessness appeared on his face, and he suddenly rushed towards us head on.
I quickly pulled the two of them to the side to dodge.
"Zhang Ji, tell us, what are you doing? Why did you bring us here? What do you want to do?"
Zhang Ji just stared at me with cold eyes, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"If you still want Zhang Xu to live well and not become a dead corpse, then follow me here immediately. Maybe there is still time, and he will not die now."
Hearing this, all of us were stunned.
I stared at Zhang Ji in disbelief.
"what are you talking about?"
Zhang Ji looked at us coldly.
"It's up to you to believe it or not, but if Zhang Xu died in this forest, then it was you who killed him."
I took a breath and looked back at the two people next to me.
Cui Hao and Wang Wangyang were also confused.
Wang Wangyang stared at Zhang Ji cautiously.
"Why should we believe what you say? It's because of you that a few of us were almost killed by you. It was you who pushed a few of us into the lake. If it weren't for our tough methods, maybe the two of us would have died by now. He was killed by that thing in the water. We can only help if you tell us the reason."
I mean the same thing.
This guy is sinister and vicious, and his methods are extremely cunning.
If a trap is set for us in front of us, we won't be able to dodge it.
Seeing the suspicion on our faces, he looked at us coldly.
Suddenly, Zhang Ji sneered.
"If you want to know the answer, then come with me. If you don't come, then just wait to collect the body."
He didn't seem to intend to explain more, he just turned around and walked forward.
I clearly saw that this guy's back was stiff, and his speed was obviously a bit slower, just waiting for the rest of us to make a decision.
I looked back at Cui Hao.
"Are you still chasing me?"
I really can't believe what Zhang Ji said, but if what he said is true, Zhang Xu is in danger now.
Then if we didn't show up, we might actually be the ones who killed him.
Cui Hao gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time, then suddenly slapped his thigh fiercely.
"Whether it is true or not, Zhang Xu was indeed kidnapped by these guys. We have to go and see, otherwise I will never feel at ease in my life."
