Mr. Mai looked at everyone and said, "Let's do this. I'll go down and test the depth of the water. If the water is very shallow, I'll move rocks. I took a look and there are a lot of big rocks around here. We can fill in a road and get out."
.”
"What if the water is very deep?" Jiao Ba asked with a cold face.
"Then let's think of other ways. We can only take a gamble now." After saying this, Mai Lao went to find a relatively long branch nearby. But since he couldn't try it on it, he had to go down to the river.
Only on the edge.
I also found a branch and waved to Mr. Mai and said, "I'll go down with you and take a look."
The two of us walked slowly down the slope. When we reached the edge of the river ditch, I saw that the calm water surface seemed to have changed a little. There were very slight waves, but it calmed down again in an instant.
"Mr. Mai, there is movement in the river." I stopped and didn't dare to go forward.
"Well, I saw it too, be careful." He slowly moved towards the river, and I had no choice but to follow him forward little by little.
When we walked to the river, nothing unusual happened. Mai Lao used a long branch to test the depth of the river, but the result surprised us. The river was actually bottomless, and it was deeper than I thought.
Much more.
The branch in Mai Lao's hand was very long, nearly ten meters long, but after entering the river, it was impossible to find the bottom. The same was true here, and the branch quickly turned black again, so I quickly threw the branch into the river.
River.
"The water is too deep and I can't touch the bottom at all." This is terrible. It's hard to cross the river. I always feel that there is something strange in the river. When the branches are put into the water, I can feel it.
It's very sticky, a bit like a swamp.
"What can we do?" Mai Lao touched his forehead and stood by the river looking at the water in a daze. All plans were disrupted. We have no way to go now.
I looked down at the black river water in front of me. I felt uncomfortable no matter what. Logically speaking, my reflection should be reflected in the river water, but the reflection was not very similar to mine. It was blurry and unclear. There was only a black image.
.
Just as I was concentrating on the river surface, suddenly, the river surface began to fluctuate again, and this time the fluctuations were faster and more violent than before.
The calm river surface was undulating, just like ripples, layer after layer. "Mai Lao, what... is happening?" I stared at the river and asked Mai Lao.
"If something changes, let's go back quickly."
Just as Mai Lao finished speaking, suddenly, a black and withered hand stretched out from the river. The hand stretched out just not far from my feet, and he ran directly towards my calf.
Because the distance was too close, before I could react, this black hand had almost grabbed my calf. At this moment, I actually forgot to avoid it. My whole body felt like I was being electrocuted. I was so scared that my hair almost stopped.
Stand up.
At this critical moment, there was a force on my back that pulled me back. "Be careful." Mr. Mai pulled me to the side. The two of us turned around and climbed up a few steps quickly. My movements were embarrassing.
It's like a dog trying to climb a tree. It's embarrassing.
When I reached the middle of the climb, I stopped and gasped for air. Cold sweat began to flow down my forehead. The tingling feeling in my temples came again, as if my veins were hopping.
I haven't recovered from the fear just now. How could a black hand suddenly appear in the river? What kind of ditch is this? I simply can't imagine it.
Fortunately, Mai Lao was by my side. If he hadn't been fast enough, I would have been caught by that hand and thrown into the river. By then, I wouldn't have died even if I didn't want to.
At this time, some very strange sounds suddenly came to my ears, which were the kind of desolate wails. Yes, they were the kind of painful wails, the wails of human beings on the verge of death after being tortured.
The sound probably came from the river. I turned my head and looked towards the river again. When I saw the scene on the river, my mind went blank. The scene in front of me will never be forgotten for the rest of my life. That horrifying scene.
No one can bear it.
Countless faces actually appeared on the river. These faces were all black, exactly the same color as the river. They had no eyes or noses. They only had one mouth that let out an unacceptable wailing, that kind of wailing pain,
It's like being in the legendary eighteen levels of hell.
Countless pairs of black hands stretched out from the river, trying to grab things around them. I finally knew why there was no grass growing on the river. It was because of these black hands. They were groping back and forth by the river. No, they seemed to be climbing up.
, seems to want to escape.
They struggled painfully in the river, but no matter how hard they struggled, they still sank into the black river. This sad howl was earth-shattering, and the entire jungle reverberated with this mournful sound, which instantly resounded through the sky.
I covered my ears tightly with both hands, but the sound seemed to have magic power. It could penetrate my palms and reach my eardrums. It had no effect at all. I have a big mouth, so I could feel the pain.
.
Mai Lao also had a somewhat uncomfortable expression on his face, but this old guy seemed to be tougher than me. He just frowned and his whole body looked a little stiff.
This scene lasted for about a few minutes. The black human faces and hands slowly sank to the bottom of the river. The river gradually returned to calm, and finally became like a mirror, without a trace of ripples, as if everything
It was like nothing had happened before, it was as quiet as death.
I kept staring at the river, and I am still thinking about the scene just now in my mind. What is going on? Why do those human faces and hands appear on the river? All of this is so terrifying that my scalp hurts just thinking about it.
I was experiencing numbness and numbness, and I am still in shock.
Mai Lao looked at me and said, "Are you scared?"
I nodded stupidly, but didn't say a word. I wasn't frightened now, but I was almost frightened to death. Is there anything terrible that hasn't appeared on this mysterious desert island?
.
I can't even imagine it, because I can't imagine it, it's all beyond my brain.
Mr. Mai patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't be stunned. Let's go up."
I nodded stupidly, and the two of us climbed back down the slope. When I went up and saw the expressions of the big guys, I almost laughed out loud. Except Jiao Ba and Chang Shan, everyone was scared.
Everyone's face turned blue, and they sat slumped under the tree as if they had lost their souls.
Especially the big man. He was sitting under the tree and sweating on his forehead. His eyes were slanted and scary. He was obviously very frightened. He was more serious than Jenny and Li Xin. The big man looked at
He is quite strong, but he is actually the least courageous one.
Although Jiao Ba and Chang Shan were not in such a serious condition, they were not much better. Both of them looked serious, with no emotional changes visible on their faces, as if they were lifeless bodies.
I suddenly discovered a problem. Chang Shan's personality is sometimes very similar to Jiao Ba's. Although Jiao Ba is sometimes lustful and talkative, when he calms down, he is completely different from the two. Anyone can see that he is completely different.
Don't understand what he is thinking.
Chang Shan is the same, he is terrifyingly calm. Recently he has shown a lot of unexpected thoughts and insights, which really makes me think highly of him. This man is either a friend or an enemy, you can't have both.
"Is everything okay, everyone?" Mai Lao looked at everyone and his expression turned very bad. No one expected that the sudden incident just now would bring such serious consequences to everyone.
Steamed Bun looked up at him and said stiffly, "It's okay for now, but we won't know for a while. I think we are going to die here."
"Don't talk nonsense. We haven't reached that level yet. Cheer up. We have never seen big winds and waves, so this little thing is nothing." I said to everyone bravely. Although I was also scared, I couldn't be confused.
If I mess up my position, at least half of the people will follow me.
"Isn't this a small thing? Zhongyi, don't you understand? The people in the river probably drowned when crossing the river. Maybe they are water ghosts. If we want to cross the river, we have to be killed by them.
He was captured and used as a substitute." The big man was good at pushing the matter directly to the water ghost.
"Don't talk nonsense there. There are so many water ghosts. Don't scare yourself, okay? I'm so scared." Li Xin suddenly stood up and walked back and forth, obviously a little scared.
, she has always been very calm, but the previous scene would be difficult for anyone to accept.
Jenny tugged on her clothes and said, "Li Xin, please don't leave, it's shaking my head."
After Li Xin sat down, she said, "Mr. Mai, do you know what's going on? Why are there so many faces in the river? It's so weird." Li Xin spoke very slowly.
Relieve her tension.
"I...I don't know, I really don't know. In fact, I'm just like you. My head is blank right now. I can't explain what happened just now." Mai Lao rubbed his eyes tiredly and said nothing.
He did it, and I guess no one can explain why.
"It's a curse. Those people have been cursed. They are trapped underwater and can never come out. They struggle painfully just to get rid of the curse. Unfortunately, it is never possible. They have lost their souls long ago.
Chang Shan suddenly said in a low voice.
It's this damn curse again, "Brother Changshan, what do you mean by this? Last time you said that the red monster was brought about by a curse, and this time you said that the souls of the people in the river ditch were cursed, I'm a little bit confused.
You are confused, is this curse real or fake?" I really don't understand him, how he got this information, but it is definitely not nonsense.
