Five human corpses were fully decomposed leaving only bones. Even so, he could spot the thick chain that wound around their torsos with a weight at the end. The lotus plants had taken root in their bodies and were growing so beautifully.
It gave him the chills.
Eric didn't want to stay down there any longer.
He hurriedly swam up and took a well-deserved breath. he spat out the water he had inhaled and vigilantly looked around at the smoky hallway.
A hand suddenly grabbed the hair at the back of his head and dragged him up.
"Oh no, you don't. you don't get to die before I tell you to." Laughing evilly, the Taoist monk pulled him out of the pond.
Eric knew he had to fight back right away. He pulled the dagger from his pants and slashed the man's hand holding his hair.
In just second bright red blood splashed all over his face.
The monk's right wrist was completely severed and was hanging from the back of his head.
