There was a rustling sound above, and soon, Zhang Xinya came down, but she was much luckier than me, at least she had a rope to rely on, and she didn't have to fall directly into the pool.
I noticed her only after hearing her groan. She might not have held the rope well, and slid down a long distance. I guess her hands and inner thighs were scratched.
At this time, I had just reached the edge of the pool, and my feet could already step on the thick mud layer. It was quite laborious to walk, but I didn't encounter the underwater thing to attack again, so I was safe for the time being. I hurriedly reminded Zhang Xinya to be more careful after entering the water, there was something underwater.
"Er Gouzi?"
Zhang Xinya was very surprised, and then laughed: "It seems that you are fine, this is really good news."
If she could give up calling me by my nickname, I think my heart must be warm now, at least someone is still thinking about my safety.
As for now...
Anyway, I regretted talking to her a little bit. I gasped heavily and paused at the beach. Then I turned to ask: "What's the situation up there? Are you all okay?"
"With my uncle's help, of course it's easy to catch them!"
Zhang Xinya's superstition about my master is higher than mine. She smiled and said: "Except for Brother Yaozi who got a little burn, basically they are fine. It's just that they are holding their breath. They will come down soon."
"It's not good here."
I sighed and subconsciously looked behind me. Lao Bai was still sinking in the water. He was too heavy. After a lot of tossing, I was basically exhausted at this time. I had no strength to pull him out. I could only drag him by his hair. I guessed that his whole body was stuck in the mud. Anyway, I felt more and more tired the more I dragged him. I could only ask Zhang Xinya for help: "You'd better come down and help. Lao Bai's bastard is here with me. He fell directly into the water and seemed to be dead. Anyway, he didn't move..."
"What the hell is that?"
A shout came from above: "What do you mean I seem to be dead? Grandpa is hanging on your head now!"
This voice is from Lao Bai!!
I was already stunned.
Not Lao Bai?
"Er Gouzi, run!"
Zhang Xinya seemed to have thought of something and shouted: "That's not Lao Bai, it's that blue-haired old Zongzi. It was hit by my uncle and flew down. It's not sure if it's really dead!!"
But at this moment, I felt the mud under my feet move, as if the thing in the mud behind me had moved a little.
I was scared. It was dark here and I couldn't see anything. I was full of good intentions, but it seemed that I pulled a big Zongzi out of the water? I didn't dare to stay here any longer. My tired body suddenly regained strength. I let go and rushed to the shallows. But after a few steps, I was tripped by something and fell to the ground.
Boom!
Water and mud exploded behind me...
Zhang Xinya and Lao Bai were probably worried about my safety. They took out their mining lamps and shone them towards me at the same time. However, Zhang Xinya didn't have such good skills after all. When she reached out to touch the mining lamp with one hand, she didn't hold the rope with the other hand and almost slipped down. The light swayed for a while and it took a lot of effort to stabilize it.
With the help of their lights, I finally saw the situation clearly. An old zongzi with long hair all over his body was standing behind me. His hair was covered with mud and water. He was staggering, his eyes were bloodshot, and he immediately rushed towards me with a low roar. The sharp stench from his mouth hit my face. This was the real stench of a corpse. It was smelly for a long time. It got into my nose and went around my head for a long time. It was more poisonous than eating too many soybeans and farting. It was really eye-irritating. This was the ammonia gas from the corpse. I was instantly overwhelmed. My eyes were blurred with tears, and I instinctively raised the Tianguan Blade to protect my face.
Plop!
However, after the old zongzi rushed to the shallows, he fell in front of me after running a few steps. He struggled to get up but couldn't. He raised his hairy face and roared at me, and his fangs in his mouth were flashing coldly.
It was seriously injured!
I saw a sword on its neck and chest. The sword on its neck was almost a throat-seal sword. Most of its neck was pierced. It was a miracle that its head had not fallen off until now. However, this was not fatal. What really made it fall to this point was the sword on its chest. That sword almost pierced it and let out the breath it was holding. Fortunately, this old zongzi was relatively strong. If it were another zongzi, it would have been completely blocked.
Needless to say, this must be the masterpiece of my master.
Anyway, this thing's last-ditch attack did not hurt me. After a brief panic, I swung the Tianguan Blade and hit the back of this old zongzi's head with my backhand, just like revenge for its previous scare. I almost put all my strength into hitting it on the back of its head with a stick after a stick.
At first, this old zongzi was still struggling and stretched out its claws to hit me, but after a few sticks, it was completely defeated. The back of its head was almost smashed by me, and its scalp was cracked, revealing the bones underneath.
Sure enough, the bones were blue.
Lao Bai and Zhang Xinya saw that I was fine, so they relaxed, put away their mining lamps, and climbed down the rope quickly.
Not long after, my master and Brother Yaozi also appeared. The raging fire in the tomb was still not extinguished. I don't know what kind of magical power they had to protect themselves, and they could stay in the tomb full of flames for so long.
However, these are no longer important, at least we are still alive.
I rested for a while in the shallows, and then I got up to help them watch by the water. I was the only one who encountered the underwater things, and I still feel uneasy. Fortunately, the mining lamps of the four of them have not been lost, and this small underground pool is now illuminated.
The underwater things never appeared again, as if they had the ability to think, and they specifically picked me, who was alone.
"Little Wei, are you crazy?"
Lao Bai is a good swimmer and soon swam to the shallows. He probably felt safe and started to criticize me: "What's in the water? Look, aren't the four of us alive and well?"
As I was talking, a black shadow rushed out from the water at a very fast speed and quickly rushed towards Lao Bai.
Sure enough, it was picking on the lone person! !
Lao Bai doggy-paddled for a while, and now he was a distance away from me and my master and the others!
It was a thing the size of a trash can, definitely not a human, let alone a monster, and it was in a triangle shape in the water, very fast!
The moment I saw that thing, I immediately warned Lao Bai: "Watch out behind you!!"
"Little Wei, you are a bit mean, you are trying to scare me by paying me now..."
Lao Bai grinned and didn't buy it at all. However, while he was talking to me, he had missed the best time to dodge, and the underwater thing hit him hard behind him.
Lao Bai swallowed the rest of his words, screamed "Ouch", and flew out of the water. God knows how hard that hit was, it hit a big man weighing 140 to 150 kilograms out of the water, drew a parabola in the air, and finally hit the shore hard...
This hit at least flew four or five meters away...
As for the thing in the water, it disappeared as soon as it was hit, and it disappeared without a trace. From beginning to end, I only saw a rough outline, and I didn't see what it was at all.
However, I felt that this thing seemed to be different from the thing that attacked me. This thing was very small and had no limbs at all. The thing that attacked me was relatively large, and it grabbed my feet at that time!
This small pool of water was full of unknowns and dangers!
Since that thing had already escaped, I had no choice but to turn around and see what was happening to Lao Bai.
At this time, Lao Bai had curled up into a ball and was rolling on the ground. His face was almost wrinkled into a ball, and he looked like a sand skin, without a trace of blood on his face.
"Good words can't persuade the damned ghost. I reminded you a long time ago, but you just didn't listen. You are still Nanwen. It's a miracle that you can live to this day!"
I cursed and hurried to help him. Unfortunately, Lao Bai rolled on the ground and couldn't be stopped at all. In desperation, I could only say: "Be quiet, let me see if your wound is fatal..."
"Stomachache..."
Lao Bai held it in for a long time and only said these two words.
"Stomachache!"
I frowned and said, "I saw it clearly. He attacked you from behind. What does it have to do with your stomach?"
At this time, my master and others saw that Lao Bai was in trouble and rushed over at a faster speed.
"What's that smell!"
Zhang Xinya immediately covered her nose. Indeed, Lao Bai had a very unpleasant smell. She subconsciously took two steps back and said, "Why are you being polite to him? Hurry up and hold him down!"
I sighed and could only hold Lao Bai down with my hands, then turned over...
This...
After seeing the situation clearly, I couldn't say anything. I just suddenly felt that compared with Lao Bai, I was almost drowned by being pulled by my ankle. How painful must it be...
"Oh my god!"
Zhang Xinya also exclaimed, and said with disgust: "This... Shit has come out, isn't it just a stomachache?"
"Hey, you deserve it!"
Brother Yaozi folded his hands and sneered. At this time, he would not forget to add insult to injury, and mocked: "Now it's good, the chrysanthemum has become a sunflower..."
Lao Bai couldn't speak anymore, but just hummed "Mmm".
"Okay, Brother Yaozi, stop talking so much and get some medical supplies."
I glanced at Lao Bai again and sighed, "It's important to save people, don't let them die of pain..."
