I quickly looked down and was shocked. The calm river surface began to tremble again. Soon, those black human faces emerged from the bottom of the water again, screaming and stretching out their black hands to grab everywhere.
I quickly put the wetsuit on my shoulders and climbed forward with my hands along the rope. "Quick, quick, quick, Zhongyi, hurry up, the speargun is about to come out." Mr. Mai yelled, and Shunzi and the others were fighting on the opposite side.
I grabbed the rope and barely used human power to support me.
But when I almost climbed to the other side, my left foot was suddenly grabbed, causing me to be unable to move. I looked down and saw that a black hand was holding my left ankle tightly.
This black hand was very powerful. He wanted to drag me directly into the river. This powerful force made the rope tremble even more violently, and I was about to fall.
At this critical moment, there was a gunshot, and the bullet directly broke the arm. After the black arm was broken, I saw with my own eyes that it disappeared bit by bit, as if it had evaporated.
Average.
I didn't have time to be dazed, so I quickly climbed over along the rope. When I quickly climbed to the other side, I almost fell to the ground. Jiao Ba stepped forward and helped me, "Yi Ge, how are you? Are you okay?"
"
I glanced at him and saw that he was holding a pistol in his hand. He must have done the shooting just now. "It's okay, why did you hide another gun?" I remember clearly, we
When taking inventory of equipment, there were no pistols at all.
"Don't ask this yet, how are your legs?" Jiao Ba asked a little worried.
"It's okay, don't worry." I stood up immediately to express that everything was fine.
I turned around and looked into the ditch. The faces of the black people, after howling in pain again, began to slowly sink to the bottom of the water. Soon, the water surface calmed down again, as if nothing had happened.
Chang Shan came over at this time and said, "I hope they can all rest in peace."
Mai Lao shouted from behind, "Don't look at it, we still have to hurry, let's go."
"Here we come." I responded, and just when I was about to turn around and leave, I suddenly saw a person standing on the opposite side of the ditch. I was very familiar with this person, and he was the withered man with messy hair.
old man.
He was hiding next to a big tree, with only half of his body exposed. I couldn't see his eyes clearly this time, but I could feel that he had been watching us. He may have never left during this journey.
, it should always be hidden around us, but we just can’t find it yet.
I raised my head and stared at him. What did this damn mysterious old man want to do? Who is he? Every time I see him, I get extremely nervous. Thinking of the last time I almost died in his hands, I get even more nervous.
There is an indescribable feeling of fear.
"Zhongyi, what are you doing?" Mai Lao's voice came from behind me.
I turned to look at him and said, "Oh, I'll come right away." When I turned around again, the withered old man disappeared again, but I knew very well in my heart that he was hiding again, who he was, and what was behind him
What else is hidden? I think it will be found out sooner or later. It should be absolutely connected to this desert island.
I turned around and walked forward. I planned to bury this matter in my heart. There was no need to say it out anymore. Since that ghost old man had already set his sights on us, we couldn't hide if we wanted to, so we had to be more careful.
We packed up our things, got dressed, took down the speargun from the tree, and continued walking along this jungle trail. I don’t know what dangers are waiting for us on this weird island.
Woolen cloth.
Everything here can not only be described as terrifying, but even calling it hell is not an exaggeration at all.
When we walked forward for a while, I suddenly felt a pain in my left foot and fell directly to the ground. Jiao Ba saw that I fell to the ground. He quickly ran over and helped me to the bottom of the tree, "Brother Yi, you
What's going on here?"
Mai Lao and others also ran over quickly, "Zhongyi, is it okay?" Jenny asked a little worriedly.
I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, maybe it's a sprained foot."
At this time, Mr. Mai suddenly said, "Are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest."
It's not that I'm tired, but my left ankle is in burning pain, it's the kind of pain that's concentrated, as if it's been burned by fire.
I lifted up my diving suit and took a look at my left foot. On the top of my left ankle, there was a black palm print. The mark was a bit blurry and not very clear. It was just like the watermark that had just been printed on it, except that it was above
It was still steaming white, as if it was burnt.
"Oh my god, why are your feet like this?" Jenny said a little scared after seeing it.
Because the pain was unbearable, I wanted to touch it with my hand, but Jiao Ba grabbed my hand and said, "Don't touch it yet."
I glanced at him and endured the pain for a while. In about ten seconds, the white smoke disappeared little by little, and the pain also disappeared, but there was a residue on my left ankle.
There was a very deep black palm mark, like a brand mark, it was concave.
I was a little dumbfounded, "Holy crap, am I fucking poisoned?"
Jiao Ba's face turned gloomy. He touched the black palm print on my ankle with his hand, "Does it hurt?"
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't hurt. I don't feel anything now." It's strange to say that the pain was burning and unbearable just now, but now I feel nothing, as if nothing happened.
"Can you stand up and try to walk?" Jiao Ba took my arm and helped me up.
I stood up and stretched my left foot, then walked a few steps forward. I really didn’t feel anything at all. It didn’t hurt or itch, and I didn’t delay anything. “I don’t feel it anymore. It seems... nothing is wrong.”
.”
But when Jiao Bayi heard what I said, his expression became even worse. At this time, Li Xin asked from the side, "Is everything okay?"
I quickly kicked him to the side and said, "It looks like everything is fine."
"No way, the fingerprints are so deep, it doesn't look like anything is okay." The big man looked at my left foot and said.
"Could he be poisoned? The river water is poisonous, and that figure...forget it, I can't say anything, it's scary just thinking about it." Mantou shrank his neck and shivered all over.
.
Jiao Ba never spoke, his face turned very bad, and Chang Shan didn't say a word. Only Mai Lao came over and said, "Maybe he is really poisoned. It's better to be careful, for fear that the poison will spread later."
I smiled and said, "Even if I'm poisoned, there's nothing I can do about it. There's no point in worrying about it. Okay, at least I'm fine now."
Jiao Ba's expression recovered, "Brother Yi, it's okay. You don't have to worry. The fingerprints will go away in a few days."
I glanced at him and said, "Lao Ba, tell me the truth. Is there anything going on?" I always felt that Jiao Ba was hiding something from me. His abnormal face and eyes proved everything. I still
Know him better.
But this time Jiao Ba denied it, "It's really okay, don't worry, brother Yi."
Chang Shan suddenly spoke up and said, "It's okay Zhongyi, how could Jiao Ba lie to you?"
I don't understand what Chang Shan means by this, but there must be something wrong. He must have seen some clues, but I haven't been able to ask in detail.
Mr. Mai patted my arm and said, "If nothing happens, let's set off. If anything happens, you can inform me later. Pay attention to the wounds on the way."
It seems that this is the only thing I can do. Just don’t delay walking now. I nodded, "Well, let's go, Mr. Mai."
A group of us set off again and walked up the mountain. I was still walking at the end. Although I said I didn’t care, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart. This strange black palm print was so deep.
Branded on my feet.
Just because Jiao Ba said it's okay, does that mean it's really okay? Is this simply impossible? I would rather this palm print bring pain, at least I know it hurts, but now it doesn't hurt or itch,
This is the biggest problem.
Jiao Ba was walking in front of me. I took a few steps to catch up with him and asked in a low voice, "I ask you, Lao Ba, what is going on with this palm print on my foot?"
Jiao Ba hesitated and said, "Oh, didn't I tell you, it's okay, so don't worry, just go safely."
I glared at him and growled a little angrily, "I'm going to leave your sister, please tell me the truth quickly, or I'll never be done with you."
Jiao Ba looked at me helplessly, with embarrassment written all over his face, "Are you telling me, what's going on? Even if it means death, I will admit it." What I can't bear the most is this kind of suffering.
Just like prisoners awaiting sentencing.
Jiao Ba was in a dilemma, and finally whispered in my ear, "Brother Yi, actually this is not poisoning, I feel like... it is..."
"What is it? Why are you so stained? You're hesitating, hurry up." I said, blowing my beard and staring.
"It's a curse, it's what Chang Shan said before." Jiao Ba said it with a calm face.
I knew that this damn palm print was definitely up to no good. Sure enough, I guessed it right. It turned out to be this so-called curse. If it was Chang Shan who said it, I might still be suspicious, at least I would be more prepared.
But now that even Jiao Ba has said so, it should be more or less the case. Considering just now, Chang Shan also specifically told me that it was okay, so he must be cooperating with Jiao Ba, and he must have noticed it.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" I was calm and not that surprised. I was prepared for the worst.
"I...amn't I afraid that you will worry? How can you ask me to speak? In front of so many people, do you think you are cursed? Then Mai Lao and the others will have to worry too. I can't help it.
Just think that I am looking out for the overall situation." Jiao Ba said seriously, obviously not joking.
"Is that so-called curse real?" I have never understood what is cursing what? It sounds a little confusing.
