There are actually many rumors about the human-faced fish. Some say it is a deceased person in the family who came to settle their grudges. Others say it is simply the work of evil spirits, coming to harm the world...
There are different opinions, and such rumors have almost been compiled into a complete system, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Although everyone said they had seen it, if they wanted to get to the bottom of it, those who sworn it were hesitant and unable to explain the reason. Of course, the lies they made up were self-defeating.
At the moment when the rumors came into reality, Wu Fan was also frightened. But when he calmed down and took a closer look, he realized that these human-faced fish were not as mysterious as the rumors said.
Although they do have a real human face, they are just barely resembling a human face. If you insist on saying that it is the same as a human face, you can only bluntly say...it means that the person who sees it is blind.
Ordinary swimming fish basically have their mouths in front of their bodies, but the mouth of this human-faced fish is uniquely located on the top of its head! To put it bluntly, its so-called human face is actually a suction cup. Its function is to suck in the prey when it captures it, so that the prey cannot escape!
Just now, just as the man's scream pierced the sky, there was a rumbling thunder echoing.
After the rolling thunder, the originally clear sky suddenly became dense with clouds, and the sky and the earth became even more groggy. There was no more light, and it was about to rain...
At first, Wu Fan didn't understand why these human-faced fish followed the raft for no reason, but the sudden change in the weather made him understand the real reason.
What happened before might really be an accident. The original intention of these human-faced fish was just because the heavy rain was coming...
In fact, the two could have lived in peace and harmony, but the "food" delivered to their door aroused the ferocious nature of the human-faced fish, and it wanted to feast on this "curved water drinker".
At this moment, although the weather has become cooler as expected, it is difficult to solve the heat in people's hearts. After all, they are facing the danger of their lives!
The dissipated smell of blood was like the trumpet for a general attack sounded among the human-faced fish. They sucked under the big raft one after another, making a creaking sound...
Seeing this, Wu Fan's expression changed and he shouted urgently: "Stop them quickly! They want to dismantle the raft!"
Once the raft disperses, no one can escape the fate of becoming bait! Everyone who was at a loss drew their weapons and stabbed down along the gaps in the raft...
Compared to the big raft stained with blood, the conditions on the remaining two rafts were much easier, and almost no human-faced fish would be interested in them.
"Don't come! Don't come! It's all your fault...go to hell!" Someone turned red-eyed and threw the man with the broken leg into the water.
It seems that this trick is effective. As expected, many human-faced fish abandoned the raft to enjoy this "delicious meal from heaven"...
"What are you doing!" Someone next to him looked surprised.
"It's all his fault! He was the one who attracted the human-faced fish here! I did this... for everyone's good!" The guy with red eyes turned his head stiffly and explained in an exaggerated voice.
"Then what are you pushing me for? Isn't one thing enough...you want to push me down?" Someone next to him was knocked and hurriedly nailed his weapon to the raft, his face instantly tense.
"What are you making all the fuss about? I just touched you accidentally, everyone can prove it to me!" The anxious man saw the people around him looking at him unkindly, and tried his best to defend himself.
"I...I didn't see..."
"I don't know anything either!" Everyone around him turned his head and never looked at this man again.
"If you continue to keep him, the blood will only attract more attacks..." Seeing that no one paid attention to his explanation, the man's expression became ferocious and terrifying, "You... you are a bunch of heartless bastards! I am I’m saving you, even if you are blind, don’t you know it well?”
"Click..."
Just as the man was gnashing his teeth, the group of human-faced fish had turned around again and used their raft to sharpen their fangs, which seemed to express their urgent desire for "food".
"The human-faced fish are here again... Everyone, move quickly to drive them away!"
Although he said so, the atmosphere on the raft changed strangely. A group of people can no longer work together as before, because it is more important to guard against the human-faced fish than to guard against the human heart.
"Ah! Save me...save...Gululu..." The water splashed, and the cry for help was only halfway out. When everyone looked over, they only saw a mass of blood mist spreading...
"You...what are you looking at me for?" Feeling the burning gazes of everyone, the man's voice trembled.
"What's going on with him?" Someone took a step forward and asked sharply.
"You ask me...how do I know?" Sensing the malice in his words, the man subconsciously clenched his weapon.
"That brother...it seems he pushed him down..." someone beside him said timidly.
"You! You are so slanderous! He obviously slipped and fell on his own!" The man hurriedly defended himself.
"Sliding down?" The man before had a cold look on his face, "Then let me ask you, why did you say you didn't know?"
"I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid you will think I'm lying..." the man explained.
"Don't be afraid... I believe you!" As he said this, the man slowly walked over and stretched out his hand to the man, "It's dangerous over there, come here first!"
"Thank you...um..." But just when the man was about to hold the other person's hand, he saw the other person's expression suddenly change, cut off his outstretched arm with a knife, and then threw it away into the distance.
"Ah...you...you..." The man's expression was extremely painful, big beads of sweat fell from his forehead, and he curled up on the ground speechless.
"Hahaha... you die... I die... we all die together!" After the man swung his knife, he chopped down the man behind him before others were prepared, and then covered himself with blood.
"No one can live! Hahaha...no one can live!" As he said this, the man jumped into the water with a plop. Under the multiple blows, this man was obviously crazy...
…
"Ouch! What bastard took advantage of the chaos to sneak up on the uncle!" I was on the edge of the raft, using my breath to drive away the approaching human-faced fish, but suddenly I felt someone hit me with a sap, so I turned around with a curse, only to see a section of my arm falling off. in front of himself.
"Oh my God!" I was so frightened that I jumped up and screamed: "Master! It's not good! Master..."
Because the three rafts were not close together, Wu Fan really couldn't take care of them too far away, so he could only ask the old immortal to cover his own raft with Yin Qi.
Although this move will cause the vines that tie the raft to corrode and accelerate aging, it effectively hides its whereabouts, making it undetectable by the human-mask fish...
Wu Fan seemed to be at ease on the surface, but in his heart he was constantly counting time, always paying attention to the movements of the old immortal, for fear that the latter would make improper control and cause the raft to collapse on the spot and feed them to the fish.
Hearing Yu's exclamation, Wu Fan turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Master! Look!" I nervously raised a hoof and pointed at the broken arm.
Naturally, a "mere" broken arm cannot scare me. The reason why it reacted like this is because the blood on the arm disturbed the Yin Qi here and attracted a group of human-faced fish!
Seeing that his whereabouts were about to be exposed, Wu Fan also broke into a cold sweat: "Old immortal! Quick! Let's deal with this first!"
"Alas! Old Immortal... Just do your best!" The Old Immortal's voice was full of helplessness.
Although fending off enemies and protecting oneself may sound similar, they are actually very different, because the former can be done without hesitation, while the latter requires caution.
Since being "polished" by the craftsmen that day, the old immortal has indeed had the ability to control the spirit-yin rod, but at that time the spirit-yin rod was completely controlled by Wu Fan. The old immortal was happy and free, and naturally he had never delved into the relationship between himself and the spirit-yin rod. How to communicate.
Later, Wu Fan borrowed the third prince's body to restore Yang, and suddenly lost control of the Lingyin Rod, and the old immortal was "forced" to take on this responsibility...
When facing an enemy, the old immortal doesn't need to worry about the severity of his attack, so he never considers the issue of controlling the concentration of yin energy. But now, it suddenly began to regret that it had neglected to practice. Otherwise, why would it be in such a hurry?
It had to control the Yin Qi to wrap the raft, while also preventing the vines from being corroded. At the same time, it also had to pay attention to counteracting the influence of the water flow. It was already exhausted and was gradually losing its ability...
After dealing with Wu Fan, the old immortal tried to cover the gap with Yin Qi, and then heard a sour squeaking sound, and saw that the vines at the edge of the bloodstained raft broke without any accident...
I just kicked the broken arm away with a flying hoof, but when I was about to get back my body, I stepped on the crack of the broken arm with a hoof, and almost stumbled into the water...
"Old Immortal!" Wu Fan noticed something was wrong and hurriedly reminded him. Then he saw that the concentration of Yin Qi in the fractured area had dropped, and at last no greater damage was caused.
"Don't worry, little friend, the old immortal knows what's going on!" The old immortal forced himself to smile and said, "Look, these human-faced fish have already left...hiss!"
While talking, everyone followed the direction of the human-faced fish and saw that another raft had become a living hell, with people being pushed into the water one after another, adding a touch of crimson to the dim sky.
Several rafts drifted with the current, already far apart, especially the small raft, which had advanced several dozen feet.
The sudden tragedy also attracted the attention of the strong man on top, who shouted at the top of his lungs: "Stop! What are you doing? Stop it!"
It's a pity that no matter how loud he roared, it couldn't beat a louder wail. In everyone's sight, they saw that the raft could no longer support it and fell apart...
"It's over, it's all over..." In despair, the strong man and his group also came to the waterfall. He had time to murmur and disappeared into the water curtain...
…
The red color is getting thicker, as if to make up for the regret, a sunset glow spreads on the water. And as the sunset spreads, the "white clouds" are also pushing each other forward slowly...
"Little brother! Those human-faced fish seem to be coming towards us!" Broom Eyebrow's untimely voice sounded, disturbing the tranquility in front of him.
"Don't be nervous! As long as we don't act rashly, we won't be discovered..." Wu Fan comforted him.
Sure enough, this group of human-faced fish didn't seem to notice them, and had already retreated.
"Creak...boom..."
Suddenly, several people suddenly felt their feet trembling, and the vines suddenly broke, causing the originally sturdy raft to become loose...
"Old Immortal! Control! Control!" Feeling the yin energy under his feet waxing and waning, Wu Fan hurriedly reminded him, he didn't want to fall short in front of the Hope Gate...
"Little friend! It's not that I don't want to control it..." the old immortal said with difficulty, "The water here is turbulent and I really can't control it!"
"Just hold on a little longer. As long as we pass the waterfall, we can get rid of the entanglement of the human-faced fish..."
Wu Fan could clearly see the scene of the strong man disappearing. They disappeared directly from the waterfall and must have been transported to another overlapping scene.
But before he finished speaking, he felt that the Yin Qi under the raft had dissipated without a trace...
"Old Immortal! Old Immortal? Not good!" He called several times in succession, but there was no response from the Lingyin Stick. Needless to say, he knew that something had happened to the Old Immortal, and he couldn't be counted on in a short time.
Suddenly, the human-faced fish, which had slowed down, caught up again, and there was a sound of breaking vines under the raft...
