As mentioned before, since spiritual energy is required to activate spiritual consciousness, and the larger the range of perception, the greater the energy consumption, so for now, it is increasingly difficult for Haller to support it, and he has no choice but to save money by narrowing the scope of spiritual consciousness. With energy, he can only maintain an effective perception of 20 meters now. However, the mere 20-meter perception range also made Haller discover an abnormality. He detected a sudden spirit body while traveling through the underwater tomb passage. fluctuation.
The moment he noticed the fluctuations in the spirit body, Haller's expression changed suddenly. He wanted to notify everyone immediately, but found that he couldn't do it because everyone was currently in the water!
As we all know, it is difficult for sound to propagate in water. Even if it can propagate, it is actually impossible to speak. The reality that water will pour into the mouth when you open your mouth also completely eliminates vocal communication, so Haller cannot warn, at least not to everyone. After issuing a warning, Haller had no choice but to inform the nearest teammates. In fact, as soon as he noticed the fluctuation of the spirit body, Haller immediately took action and raised his hand to touch Abdullah and Ives beside him. , the result was affirmative. When they noticed Haller pulling on them, the two of them turned around instinctively, and saw that the old man's expression had changed drastically at some point! They were currently waving their arms and making various speed-up movements. As teammates who had known each other for a long time, they knew Haller well. At this moment, seeing Haller react like this, it was as if they understood something instantly. , whether it was Abdullah or Ives, their faces were both pale!
Obviously, they understood and knew what Haller was expressing, so they maintained their shock and panic. The three of them, including Haller, decisively accelerated their movements and struggled upstream. While speeding up, based on the captain's duty, Abu Doula did not forget to turn around and flash his flashlight at Osborne who was lagging behind, trying to use the light to notify him. It must be said that Abdullah is a qualified captain. In extremely dangerous situations, he still took care of his teammates. , However, unfortunately, due to the long distance between the two parties and the limited underwater lighting, Osborne did not pay attention to the lights in front. Osborne was like this, and Chen Shuihong, who fell behind with him, also did not care. The two were carried separately. There is no doubt that Hui Jue and Kong Ling did not see it due to the distance and angle of view. Yes, the four of them did not notice it and were still swimming slowly as before. At present, they just started to rise around the corner of the road.
However……
While the four of them were walking around the corner, Osborne noticed something, and Chen Shuihong also noticed something.
Walking side by side, they both discovered resistance at the same time, and found that the movement of their bodies suddenly stopped.
(Um?)
Realizing that his movement was blocked, Osborne was stunned, and Chen Shuihong was stunned. The reason why they were both surprised at the same time was a certain feeling. The feeling was very clear, that is, he seemed to be caught, and something seemed to have suddenly caught him. ?
So, with confusion and surprise, the two of them instinctively turned around to look behind them. However, it was better not to look behind them. When they looked back, they saw that their bare feet were being caught, and the ones grabbing their respective bare feet were human hands, two A pale bone hand without flesh and blood!
Continuing down the bone hand, they saw a skeleton with black hair looking up at them, or rather...
What is currently catching them is a dead man, a skeleton in the water that was originally lying in a pile of corpses but is now inexplicably resurrected! ! !
"Gulu! Guru!"
Seeing the long-haired skeleton grabbing him, in an instant, both Osborne and Chen Shuihong's faces turned pale, and their eyes suddenly opened like balls to the point where they almost protruded from the eye sockets. Due to excessive fear, a large number of bubbles fell from their eyes. The two people spurted water wildly from their mouths. It was obvious that the sudden fear made them instinctively open their mouths to scream, but unfortunately they couldn't scream out. The water flowed into their mouths wildly and they were choked in agony. It was until this moment that they were in agony. , the two of them realized that they were in the water, so they hurriedly shut their mouths. Although they avoided being choked to death by shutting up, something more terrifying than drowning suddenly happened. The strange phenomenon was that they were caught, and at the same time they were grabbed by the hind legs of a white skeleton, and what was even more terrifying was...
The moment the two discovered the long-haired skeleton, the skeleton moved. It stood up on its own little by little and approached the two of them little by little! ! !
The resurrection scene of the long-haired skeleton was not only witnessed by Osborne and Chen Shuihong first, but was also quickly discovered and witnessed by Huijue Kongling, who was carried by the two. Seeing a skeleton with long hair resurrected,
Kong Ling's eyes suddenly widened, and Hui Jue's pupils suddenly shrank, both of them were shocked and turned pale. It is worth mentioning that if the other three people had only seen a resurrected skeleton in their eyes, then Kong Ling Then I saw another additional picture, a horrifying picture that could not be witnessed by ordinary naked eyes but was enough to scare anyone to death:
At this moment, in the ethereal field of vision, a large number of countless transparent human faces are floating around the four people, densely distributed in the dark environment full of water. The faces are male and female, old and young, and although their appearance is They were different, but their expressions were exactly the same. They all faced the four people with half-smiling expressions. One of the faces happened to be covered by a skeleton, and the skeleton covered by the face happened to be the inexplicable person in front of them. Resurrected long-haired skeleton! ! !
(Could it be...)
With the special perspective of the Sky Eye, Kong Ling saw this picture. After witnessing this scene, it only took 1 second for Kong Ling to understand. Yes, she already knew what was going on and knew what was happening now, so...
Crash.
Kong Ling moved, and her expression changed drastically in an instant. She suddenly broke away from Chen Shuihong's arms, and immediately struggled to swim upstream using her hands and feet. Due to excessive fear, this girl who could not swim actually learned to swim for a short time under the stimulation of death. Not only that , in order to escape as quickly as possible, the girl even stepped on Chen Shuihong hard, and stepped hard on the fat man's fat face with her right foot. Using this stepping force, the girl's body rose up, as if using the fat man as a springboard to escape. , at the same time, when Kong Ling was escaping, the densely packed human faces that were floating around him also rushed towards the pile of corpses below. As a large number of human faces got into the pile of corpses, the next moment, following the long-haired skeleton who was the first to be resurrected, other skeletons began to After resurrecting, they shook their skeletons and raised their heads. For a moment, pairs of black eye sockets without eyes looked at the four people above them. .
Hundreds of human skeletons that had been dead for thousands of years were resurrected without any warning!
"Ugh, gulu, guru!" Seeing this scene, Chen Shuihong peed and pooped on the spot. A large ball of yellowish scattered material spurted out from the crotch of his trousers. His fat body was shaking violently and moved crazily, showing that he wanted to escape. Here, unfortunately, he couldn't escape. His right foot was tightly grasped by the long-haired skeleton, so he could only moan and struggle for dear life, and then helplessly watched the skeleton float towards him!
As the saying goes, when a house leaks, it rains all night. Just when Chen Shuihong was struggling desperately because he was caught naked, and his urine and feces flowed out, he found that the void around him made a move. The girl who was originally trapped under his arm broke away from his arm on the spot, and immediately She ran upwards with her hands and feet, as if she was about to leave him and run away alone. In order to escape as soon as possible, the girl even stepped on her hard, directly treating him as a stepping stone!
The girl's panicked escape was seen by Chen Shuihong, but at this moment, for some reason, the fat man's expression changed. The fat face that was full of fear just now was twisted and ferocious on the spot, and his face was as round as a ball. His eyes were instantly bloodshot, and then...
Before the girl could get away, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's bare feet! ! !
At the same time, if Chen Shuihong is now in despair, then Osborne, who was also arrested next to him, also left his body almost at the same time. Especially after witnessing the scene of the skeletons resurrecting and catching him and the subsequent resurrection of a large number of skeletons, Short The man was frightened and went crazy. In fear, the man's arms were flailing and he was struggling desperately. But because of his blind struggle, Hui Jue, who was about to help, was thrown out. Yes, as a cultivator who always has a compassionate heart, Hui Jue was thrown out. Although the Buddhist monk could not understand the resurrection of the skeleton, he finally saw the danger approaching and knew that if he did not help this person, the foreigner in front of him who had his legs and feet captured would definitely die. He wanted to attack the skeleton, but unexpectedly However, Osborne's arms were flailing wildly due to excessive fear, and Huijue couldn't swim, and his water quality was completely zero. Sure enough, as soon as Osborne let go, Huijue floated away uncontrollably, just like this due to the buoyancy of the water. Go down and rise straight to the top of the well wall.
As for the ethereal...
She was caught. Just as described above, just when she used Chen Shuihong as a springboard to dive, her ankles were grabbed by Chen Shuihong. When she realized that she had been caught, above her, Kong Ling turned pale with fright. The ruthless force of the source immediately prompted the girl to take action, raising her other foot that was not caught and kicking Chen Shuihong's ferocious foot just now.
Face to face, the fat man was kicked so hard that his nosebleed spurted out and he was dizzy, but he did not let go. He still grabbed the girl's ankle tightly. What was even more frightening was that when the two of them pulled, the The long-haired skeleton who was the first to be resurrected also came closer at some point, and then placed his fleshless white bone body firmly behind Chen Shuihong, hugging Chen Shuihong around the waist in a way similar to hugging a lover, and they could no longer be separated!
This is not over yet. As the long-haired skeleton hugged the fat man tightly, a large number of other newly resurrected skeletons also swarmed in like a tide. Then, like the black-haired skeletons, they stretched out their skeletal arms to hug the fat man. After only five or six seconds, Chen Shuihong He was already surrounded and embraced by seven or eight skeletons!
Through the behavior of the skeletons, we can see their specific intentions. The intention is very simple, that is, to trap the prey, keep the prey, keep the captured humans underwater for a long time, and clearly intend to drown the captured humans alive. , and finally became the same as them!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Sure enough, surrounded by seven or eight skeletons, Chen Shuihong had no way to escape. Let alone escape, now he couldn't even move. He was tightly surrounded by several skeletons gathered around him, so he He could only groan and sob, and a large number of bubbles burst out of his nose. Due to staying under water for a long time, in addition to fear, Chen Shuihong was now deprived of oxygen. There was not much air left that he initially breathed in before entering the water. The air gradually decreased, and Chen Shuihong felt extremely uncomfortable. At this moment, his eyes were protruding, his face was full of pain, and his whole lungs seemed to be about to explode. This made him even more painful because he was already lacking oxygen. If he continued like this, the only thing waiting for him would be death. , the ending must be to be suffocated to death!
"Ugh, gulu, gulu..."
Chen Shuihong suffered from hypoxia and was in agony. Was it not the same with Kong Ling who was also at the scene? At present, the girl's face has already turned red, and she is tortured by the increasingly severe lack of oxygen. She is eager to get out of the water to breathe air. That is true, but she cannot leave because Chen Shuihong is holding her tightly. , even though the fat man has been surrounded by countless skeletons coming from below and it is difficult to see, the fat man's arms raised high are still strong, holding on to Kong Ling from beginning to end! ! !
Unable to leave because they were caught naked, after the skeletons wrapped up Chen Shuihong first, more skeletons crawled in one after another. They continued to rise, spread, and swarmed toward the ethereal space above.
Seeing this, some people may want to ask, since he knew that the skeletons were all ghosts and made it clear that he wanted to keep them together, why didn't Chen Shuihong use props to drive away the skeletons? Why doesn't Kongling use any tools to deal with it? The reason is very simple. It’s not that they don’t use props, and it’s not that the two of them didn’t think of this. It’s that their props have been used up and there are no more props to use! Yes, in order to escape from the hands of the female ghost in palace clothes, both Kong Ling and Chen Shuihong used up all their props. There is no denying that Chen Shuihong still has a blast key that can accelerate instantly, but the blast key is not Exorcism props are functional props and do not have any effect on harming the spirit body. When the body is completely restricted and cannot even move even half a minute, what can you do even if your speed increases? In fact, it is still impossible to break away from the restriction. In the same way, although Kong Ling also retains the soul thermometer, after using it, the soul can even leave the body, but the soul leaving the body is just the soul leaving the body! What to do with the physical body? When the physical body is about to be drowned alive, it is meaningless for the soul to leave the body. In fact, the two of them are finished at this moment and are destined to die in this dark water filled with skeletons!
At this moment, suffering from lack of oxygen, Kong Ling just watched like this, watching his right foot being tightly grasped by Chen Shuihong, watching skeletons crawling under his feet like a tide!
Of course, people are different, and their methods of dealing with desperate situations are also different. If Chen Shuihong and Kong Lingzhengqing are currently waiting for death in despair, then Osborn, who was also caught by the skeleton next to him, is not completely desperate. The reason is that he has woken up. Yes, just now, when his liver and gallbladder were splitting and his soul was running wild, his brain that was originally filled with fear calmed down inexplicably. But because of this brief calm in his brain, Osborne suddenly Thinking of something, he quickly reached into his pocket and took out an item before his arm was caught, a small white ball that looked exactly like a table tennis ball no matter how you looked at it.
No need to think about it, it is a supernatural prop, and it is most likely some kind of exorcism prop that can fight against ghosts. Since Haller in the same team has rare perception ability, so
In the previous maze travel, whether it was Abdullah, Ives or Haller himself, they did not encounter ghosts in the whole process, because whenever a ghost approached, Haller could always detect and warn in advance. With repeated warnings, they were able to stay away from danger every time. Since the other three were able to avoid danger, Osborne, who met the three by chance during the period, was naturally treated the same. In fact, from the beginning to now, Osborne has always retained Wearing props, none of them have been consumed.
At the critical moment, Osborne thought of the props, and then without saying a word, he took out the props. In a panic, he took out a white ball with unknown function. As soon as he took out the ball, Osborne hit it hard with his palm. A pinch!
Next, an amazing picture appeared:
When the white ball shattered, the next moment, a round shield that just wrapped Osborne's whole body appeared out of thin air, and the shield obviously had a blocking effect. Under the transparent shield, all surroundings Skeletons around him were easily bounced away. Although the shield did not have the effect of killing skeletons, the skeletons could not get close to Osborne when wrapped in the transparent shield. Whenever a skeleton came, the shield would always kill them. Bounced away, and then flew upside down like a kicked ball. No matter what, he couldn't touch Osborn, and Osborn, who had long been choked with water and exploded, took advantage of the gap between the skeletons to be flushed. With crazy movements, he swam desperately to the top of the well wall.
Blah, blah!
With the help of the supernatural props he carried with him, Osborne broke free from the skeleton and regained his freedom. He is now diving forward with all his strength like a catfish escaping from the chopping board. If nothing happens during this period, he actually has a high chance of being captured alive. He swam out of the water before suffocating to death, but...
What Osborne never imagined was that just when he thought he had a chance of escaping, he was struggling to dive due to severe hypoxia and in the process of frantically escaping for his life, an accident happened.
During the dive, his constantly swinging right foot was caught. As the ankle was caught, Osborne, who had been ascending rapidly just now, stopped moving for an instant. It is worth mentioning that when he found that the ankle was caught, At the moment of arrest, Osborne was subconsciously confused and confused. His whole mind was filled with astonishment, because he knew that he was currently wrapped in a shield, and the shield obviously had the effect of blocking the spirit body. He had just been suddenly ejected. The flying skeletons are the best evidence. Since the shield can bounce off the skeletons and block danger, what's going on? It was clear that the transparent shield was still maintained, but unexpectedly he was caught again?
Because he really couldn't understand what was happening at this moment, Osborne turned around in confusion. Then, he saw the answer, a terrifying answer that was enough to make him collapse instantly:
Looking back through the shield, he saw that what caught him was not a skeleton, not the extremely large group of resurrected skeletons, but a human being, or rather a girl, the girl from the Shenzhou team named Kong Ling in my impression!
At this moment, with a ferocious expression on his face, even when he was caught and unable to move, and even his body was covered with skeletons, Kong Ling just raised his hand and held Osborne's ankle tightly, looking at the man's frightened and horrified gaze. Holding the man tightly, the originally beautiful and lovely face has now completely turned ferocious, and the eyes he looked at Osborne were filled with viciousness for some time!
It was obvious that Osborne's self-protection escape by using props just now was seen by Kong Ling, who was not far away. She saw with her own eyes that the short man took out the ball and crushed it immediately, and saw with her own eyes that the other party was wrapped in a transparent shield. The flying skeleton regained freedom, and witnessed the man's unhesitating escape action. There is no doubt that Kong Ling knew that the other party used props at the critical moment. With the help of the round shield that could block the skeleton, Osborne escaped smoothly. Escaped from the desperate situation where he should have been drowned alive, but...
Watching the man escape and ascend to heaven, at this moment, Kong Ling, whose body was covered with skeletons, suddenly changed his eyes. The frightened eyes just turned into unwillingness, into resentment, and finally were completely filled with malice! .
The strong reluctance in her heart made the girl completely forget everything and completely ignore everything. With her distorted outlook on life, she did something that suited her personal characteristics... With the strong reluctance, the girl moved and took advantage of Osborne's approach. At that moment, he suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the man and grabbed the man's bare feet. It is true that the transparent light shield covering the whole body has the effect of blocking the spirit body, but the shield is ineffective against humans. At the same time, this also explains Osborne's initial confusion. It turns out that What caught him at this moment was not a skeleton, but a human being. It was precisely because of the lack of
Oxygen is about to be drowned alive!
Don't even think about escaping, no one can think of escaping, even if you are going to die, I will let you die with me! ! !
"Gululu!"
When he saw with his own eyes that the one who caught him was Kong Ling, above, Osborne's eyes widened. He never dreamed that things would turn out like this. He finally used the props to fight for a chance of survival for himself, but unexpectedly he was about to escape. He was caught at the last moment. Seeing this, Osborne immediately struggled and swam upwards with all his strength. The reason was undoubtedly that his family knew his own affairs. He knew that the maintenance time of the shield was very short, only half a minute in fact, so he He must escape back to the ground before the shield disappears, otherwise once the shield disappears, hell will be waiting for him. To say the least, even if the shield can last for a long time, it can protect him from being killed for a long time. The skeleton is close, but he himself can't hold on any longer. He is currently dizzy and severely hypoxic. If this continues, he will drown alive without the skeleton taking action!
The majestic fear and painful suffocation drove Osborne into madness. His hands and feet were dancing crazily in the water, and his face was crazily distorted at this moment. However, he could not escape or leave, no matter what he did No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from the hands of the girl who was even crazier than him!
Kong Ling's grip was too tight, too tight, just like Chen Shuihong was gripping Kong Ling tightly so that the girl could not escape and had to wait for death. At this moment, Kong Ling transferred her despair to Osborne, and for a moment , prompted by a certain human nature called darkness, the three of them collectively fell into a desperate situation of death that no one could escape from!
