Sun Yixin opened her eyes and found half a head on the ground.

This head only had the upper part, with gray skin, no hair and eyebrows, and only half of its nose. A pair of red bloodshot eyes were staring at her.

This half of the head was only a dozen centimeters away from Sun Yixin's face. The fear of being so close made her subconsciously want to scream loudly.

But before she could open her mouth, a pair of gray hands suddenly stretched out from the ground and covered her mouth tightly.

"Woo..."

Sun Yixin couldn't scream. She wanted to struggle, but the sleeping bag she was wearing to keep warm became shackles that bound her hands and feet. She had no way to break free from the two hands covering her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, something more terrifying happened.

Sun Yixin felt that the two hands were pulling her back hard, but the ground behind her that should have been hard now became as soft as a swamp.

She felt that her head was sinking into the ground little by little, her eyes were covered with mud, then her nose, and finally her mouth.

She... couldn't breathe at all.

…

"Did you hear anything?" Mo Shouchen looked back at the tent, and then asked Liu Liwei, who was also watching the night.

Liu Liwei also took a look at the other side of the tent, but it seemed very peaceful there.

"I didn't hear anything. Could it be the wind?"

Mo Shouchen shook his head: "It doesn't sound like the wind, no, you stay here, I have to go and take a look."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the tent.

Liu Liwei knew that Mo Shouchen was not the kind of person who liked to make a fuss, so he also looked at the other side of the tent warily to see if there was really any danger.

But he didn't notice that a figure was slowly emerging from the ground behind him...

Mo Shouchen cautiously walked to the tent. He first looked at Wang Guoqiang and Meng Fan who were sleeping at the door of the tent. They were breathing evenly, Wang Guoqiang was still snoring, everything was normal.

Mo Shouchen gently opened the tent door again, and Locke was sleeping inside, as well as Zhao Xin, who was responsible for taking care of him.

As soon as the door curtain was opened, Zhao Xin's eyes opened immediately. It seemed that he was still very alert, so there should be no problem here.

Mo Shouchen made a gesture to Zhao Xin, asking him to continue resting, then put down the curtain and walked around to the back of the tent.

But this time he immediately realized something was wrong. There were obviously three female team members sleeping behind the tent, but why did he only see two sleeping bags? Where was the other person?

He quickly came closer, and then he frowned because he saw the third sleeping bag, but this sleeping bag had completely sunk into the ground, leaving only a pair of feet exposed.

"Everyone, get up!"

While Mo Shouchen called the others up, he rushed to the feet and started digging.

But he found that the ground here was very hard, and it was impossible to dig people out quickly with just his hands.

At this time, Wang Guoqiang, Meng Fan and Zhao Xin rushed over with steel pipes, trying to dig up the land with the steel pipes in their hands.

Because the environment was relatively dark, Mo Shouchen was afraid that someone might accidentally insert the steel pipe into the soil, so he asked Liu Liwei, who was standing guard, to quickly come over and get a torch to light up the situation.

But after shouting twice, Liu Liwei got no response.

Mo Shouchen felt something was wrong, so he quickly stood up and looked in Liu Liwei's direction.

In the darkness, he vaguely saw Liu Liwei lying on the ground, his legs kicking up.

"not good!"

Mo Shouchen yelled, and then rushed towards Liu Liwei. When he rushed forward, he found that a large part of Liu Liwei's head had sunk into the ground, with only one mouth exposed.

He quickly knelt on the ground and dug up the ground next to him with his hands, and then dug Liu Liwei out of the ground.

While pulling Liu Liwei up, he asked: "What's going on? How did you get stuck in there?"

"Bah! Bah!"

Liu Liwei spit out the sand in his mouth twice, and then said with lingering fear:

"When you were calling others to get up, someone suddenly covered my mouth from behind, tripped me and pulled me into the dirt."

"Pull into the dirt?"

"Yes, I felt as if the ground suddenly became very soft, like a swamp. I couldn't resist at all. I could only let those two hands pull me into the soil. Fortunately, you noticed it in time. If it had been later, I guess

My whole body is about to be pulled into the dirt."

After hearing Liu Liwei's words, Mo Shouchen's mind flashed to the scene he just saw behind the tent.

At that time, Jiao Ningmeng and Murong Xueqing got out of the other two sleeping bags, which meant that it was Sun Yixin who was pulled into the soil.

Mo Shouchen and Liu Liwei immediately returned to the back of the tent. At this time, the ground had been dug up and Sun Yixin's face was exposed, but everyone else stood aside and had no intention of continuing to save people.

Mo Shouchen looked at Wang Guoqiang, who was holding the steel pipe. Wang Guoqiang shook his head at him, which meant clearly that Sun Yixin was dead.

No one thought that the ghost that appeared tonight was so terrifying that it could pull people into the ground. Moreover, this ghost was so elusive that there was no way to guard against it.

Sun Yixin's body was still half buried in the soil. It was not easy to dig it out. Moreover, the condition of her death was too tragic, so everyone retreated to the front of the tent.

Mo Shouchen asked Liu Liwei: "Did you see what the thing that pulled you into the soil looked like?"

Liu Liwei shook his head: "It attacked me from behind. I didn't see what it looked like, but it seems to be able to hide underground."

A ghost that could hide underground and pull people into the earth was beyond Mo Shouchen's knowledge, so he proposed to increase the number of people watching the night from two to four.

And after understanding the abilities of ghosts, he thought it would be better to build a bonfire so that he could see the surrounding environment clearly and be less likely to be attacked.

After lighting the bonfire, the entire open space became brighter, and four people kept vigil, basically one person protecting the other. With such a tight defense, the ghost who didn't know what it looked like shouldn't be able to take advantage of the loopholes.

Mo Shouchen was responsible for keeping watch for the first half of the night. He sat by the bonfire, touching the demon-binding rope in his pocket, thinking about how to lure the ghost out, and then tie it with the demon-binding rope.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise in the woods in the distance, as if something was approaching.

Could it be that ghost that can pull people into the dirt?

Mo Shouchen stared at the direction where the sound came from, while holding the demon-binding rope tightly in his right hand.

But he couldn't understand why the ghost that could carry out sneak attacks silently made such a big noise now?

"Oh...oh..."

Suddenly, a wolf howled in the woods, and then a giant furry monster jumped out of the trees...
