"Ah!" Even with Fu Bao's calmness, he was still startled. He instinctively opened his mouth slightly and rushed a mouthful of water into his mouth. He quickly shut up, but the remaining air became even less, and he choked on the water. The suffocating crisis pressed upon him.
Xiaowan's body was trapped at the bottom of the lake by water plants. The water plants here are so lush, probably because they use her body as nutrients...
The thing that entangled his feet just now was probably not the waterweed, but Xiaowan's hair. No wonder the people killed by Xiaowan had their mouths filled with waterweed. She must have wanted them to experience the same pain as herself.
Trapped at the bottom of the dark lake, her body was occupied by water plants. She could not find relief, and was terrified and in pain...
When Xiaowan got on top of her before, he sensed her emotions.
Many thoughts passed through his mind, but the first priority was to swim up as soon as possible. He couldn't hold his breath anymore!
Fu Bao tried his best to swim up, but the hair of Xiaowan's body was tightly entangled with his feet. He took another sip of water and hurriedly pulled the rope around his waist, and then felt a huge force to lift him up. pull.
Yang Jian, who was on the water, tried his best to pull the rope up, but his friend, who was obviously slender, was sinking terribly at this moment. With his strength, he couldn't even pull him. The rope was slowly pulled up by him bit by bit, and he Sweat broke out on his forehead.
In fact, Fu Bao was not heavy, and Xiaowan's body with little flesh left was also very light. What was heavier was the corpse grass growing on her body and entangled with other water plants.
After taking a few sips of water, Fu Bao's consciousness was a little blurry. He felt like he had returned to the sea in his dream. This time, the feeling was extremely clear. Besides him, there was another vague person, and that figure has always been there. In his dream, he couldn't see clearly, but at this moment, the man's appearance was extremely clear, so clear that he was horrified - because the man in the sea was clearly...himself!
If he is me, then who am I?
Fu Bao faced the sea. Under the sunlight, his own shadow was very faint, as if he did not exist. In this world, under the sunlight, there is only one kind of person who has no shadow...
"Wow!" After being pulled out of the lake and fresh air entering his mouth, Fu Bao coughed hard. Although his consciousness was still a little blurry, he finally recognized the reality. He was not in the sea, but on the lake. superior.
"Why is it so heavy? Fu Bao, have you found the treasure down there?" Yang Jian, who was panting from exhaustion, said through gritted teeth.
"There is something behind you...what is that?" Yang Jian continued to pull the rope, but noticed that there was something white behind Fu Bao. He couldn't help but screamed in surprise. After seeing clearly that it was a corpse, he said "Ah" He shouted, "Did you find the body?!"
After coughing up the water, Fu Bao nodded feebly.
"Isn't this body too heavy?" Yang Jian first pulled Fu Bao onto the boat, and then continued to pull him. When he saw the thing he was dragging behind the body, his expression suddenly changed, "What is this?"
"...Water plants." Fu Bao slumped on the rubber boat and said weakly.
After a lot of effort, Xiao Wan's body was finally put on the boat together with the pile of grass. Yang Jian had seen many strange corpses, but never seen this kind of one growing with the grass. He was amazed and couldn't help but feel... It felt a little scary.
"I think I probably understand why Xiaowan can't get relief." Fu Bao said hoarsely.
"Why?"
"The water plants are alive, and her resentment is parasitic on the grass, so she has countless souls." Fu Bao expressed his speculation.
"Then what should we do with it now?" Yang Jian looked at Xiaowan's body carefully and asked.
"Burning it may solve the problem." Fu Bao regained some strength and sat up. Yang Jian raised his eyebrows, "It's so wet, why does it burn?"
"Tow it back to dry land and try it with gasoline."
"Okay." Yang Jian went over and started the engine.
"Click...knock..." Even though he pulled it several times, the engine didn't start.
"Oops, maybe we're out of gas." Yang Jian became nervous.
"Out of gas? How come it's so good? Check it out." Fu Bao frowned. Yang Jian calmed down and took a look at the fuel tank and found that there was still half of the fuel in the tank.
"It's not that there's no oil. I'll try again." After fiddling with it for a while, the engine still couldn't start.
"Is it possible that the propeller cannot be started?" Fu Bao guessed after listening to the voice.
So without saying a word, he jumped into the water. Sure enough, a large group of water plants wrapped around the propeller, so he used a knife to quickly clean up the water plants.
When he climbed back into the rubber boat, Yang Jian pulled the engine again and started it immediately. Both of them showed expressions of joy, and Yang Jian quickly drove the rubber boat towards the shore.
After driving only a few dozen meters, the engine stalled again, and the rubber boat floated on the lake, surrounded by dark fog and eerily quiet, making them all feel terrified.
Fu Bao looked at the position of the propeller and said, "It should still be aquatic plants."
Without saying a word, he went into the water to clean up, and the rubber boat was soon able to start again.
But this situation kept happening, and they stopped and went. If they continued like this, they had no idea when they would be able to return to the road.
But this time when Fu Bao went to clean up the water plants, Yang Jian suddenly turned pale and looked at the water in surprise, "What's wrong?"
"Just now..." Yang Jian pointed to the pile of corpses and water plants, and said a little excitedly: "The water plants seem to be sticking out from there!"
Just now, he noticed that the pile of water plants seemed to be moving, and several water plants stretched out to reach the bottom of the water -
It’s time to wind the propeller!
Why do water plants move? ! Are the water plants sticking out of the corpse? !
Fu Bao was shocked, but when he glanced over there, he didn't see anything unusual. He shook his head, "I'll clean up the water plants first."
After saying that, he dived into the water again. After clearing away the water plants again, the rubber boat moved forward smoothly for dozens of meters. This made both Fu Bao and Yang Jian relieved. Yang Jian felt that what he just saw might be an hallucination caused by his nervousness.
But then, a bigger problem emerged. They drove on the lake for nearly half an hour and didn't even see the shore.
It only took them fifteen minutes to drive to the middle of the lake. Why did the return trip take so long?
The engine roared and stirred up the water, so Fu Bao and Yang Jian couldn't hear any other strange sounds. Their hearts clenched. They stared in the direction of the shore, but it was pitch black over there. There was nothing, not even a speck of light to be seen.
Deyang Lake seemed like a space isolated from the world, with only coldness and darkness left. Even breathing the air was so despairing. They all had the same feeling, as if they would never reach the shore.
Yang Jian suddenly thought of something. After turning around, he was stunned for a moment and simply turned off the engine of the rubber boat.
"Why is it closed?" Fu Bao asked in surprise.
"Look at the back." Yang Jian pointed to the back with a heavy expression.
Fu Bao looked back, his expression suddenly flashed with surprise and solemnity. Isn't that the Yanjiao where the body was fished out just now?
After walking for half an hour, they still stayed in the same place?
"We didn't move at all." Yang Jian pointed out the fact, or is this also a kind of ghost fighting against the wall?
Although he didn't want to think so, this was the only explanation now. Fu Bao said coldly: "Xiaowan won't let us leave."
Today is the third day since they received the curse letter. If Xiaowan's theory was used, she would not let them leave so simply.
At this time, Yang Jian said in a small and frightened voice: "It's moving!"
Before Fu Bao could react, "What moved?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something wet pressing against his shoulder. At that moment, he seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body suddenly froze. Here again?
He slowly turned around and saw a pale, rotten face covered with water plants, facing him.
"Fu Bao!" Yang Jian rushed over excitedly and pulled Fu Bao back.
However, Fu Bao didn't react as violently as he did because he didn't sense any yin or ghost energy.
The fact was just as he expected, the standing body just stood there motionless.
Yang Jian stared at it cautiously for a while, then turned to Fu Bao and said, "Something doesn't seem right."
Fu Bao also felt strange. He walked over carefully, only to see that the water plants were twisted under the boat and the body was pulled up.
Just an unexpected coincidence?
At this moment, it is hard to believe that it is a coincidence.
