The sudden appearance of the skeletal hand surprised me and made me a little glad that it had stopped me from the whirlpool anyway.

After a while in the whirlpool, my dizziness immediately improved a lot, and although holding the skeletal hand in my hand made me a little scared and a little disgusting, I didn't mean to let go at all.

The force of the whirlpool was still pulling me towards the center, and I couldn't do anything but hold on to the skeletal hand, which was pulled by me, and little by little it came out of the mud, and gradually, a round skull head was revealed next to the hand.

In the past, I had come into contact with Qiu Yan with all kinds of resurrected corpses, even the skeletons I met in the Xiangxi Cave were wrapped in a layer of skin and flesh, but the skeleton in front of me had no skin and flesh at all, it was completely a pair of bones.

After so many days of understanding, I know that whether it is man-made or naturally formed, the corpse is formed by manipulating the meridians, because only by operating the acupoints on the meridians can the "qi" in the corpse be preserved, so as to form the corpse.

But the skeleton in front of me made me wonder, how did it keep its "qi" when it had no muscles and muscles? Could it be that in addition to the corpse expulsion technique in the Codex, there are other ways to raise corpses in this world? Or is it really a ghost?

As I was stunned, the skeleton's other hand came out, and as if it was in a hurry to crawl out of the mud, the outstretched hand pushed into the mud, and its body was exposed.

I saw a pair of armor loose on the skeleton's shoulders, and I thought to myself that this was probably the prisoner Chen Youliang had killed back then.

I watched the skeleton crawl out of the mud one by one, and I was a little panicked, not to mention whether the skeleton would hurt me after it came out, even if I was swept into the whirlpool again, I couldn't stand it.

At that moment, I saw a few hands stretched out here and there, just like mushrooms after a rain, under the muddy water that had been swept up by the whirlpool.

The skeletal hands wriggled in the mud, stirring up the nearby mud like a giant worm, not to mention how numb it was.

But despite the numbness, it gave me a glimmer of hope, for I saw some of these skeletons scattered around the perimeter of the vortex.

I quickly let go of the skeleton in my hand, then grabbed the skeleton's waist and grabbed my hand towards the nearest hand.

What I didn't expect was that when I let go of the first skeleton, the skeleton immediately stopped bracing upwards as if conscious, and grabbed both hands at me instead.

Before I could escape from the whirlpool, I was grabbed by the skeleton on the oxygen cylinder behind me, and I hurriedly kicked at the skeleton with my foot, but I didn't expect that as soon as I kicked it, the skeleton was kicked by me.

I was overjoyed, thinking that this skeleton would be easy to deal with, but I was happy for less than a few seconds before I realized that something was wrong.

The skeleton that I had kicked off, now free from the restraints of its legs, was suddenly free, and crawled quickly along the strap of the oxygen cylinder towards my chest.

I was taken aback, but I didn't dare to let go of my hands to deal with it, and I could only watch as the hollow-eyed, gnashing of teeth head pressed against my chest.

This skeleton was completely different from the toast and skeleton I had seen before, it was fast-moving and purposeful, and I saw it crawl up to my chest, bite my throat with its mouth wide open.

In desperation, I let go of my hand and grabbed the skull head that was biting into my throat.

However, the moment I let go of my hand, I was immediately pulled back into the whirlpool, and the feeling of the world spinning came back in an instant.

I fought back the vertigo and focused all my attention on the skeletal head on my chest, the skeletal head like a robot, its teeth crunching and frantically struggling in my hands.

I grabbed its face from the back of its head with one hand, and with a single effort, I broke the skull's head from the cervical vertebrae.

I quickly threw away the skull head, which was still gritting my teeth, and no longer cared about the skeletal body still clutching at the oxygen harness, intending to find another hand to grab it and climb out of the whirlpool.

With my first experience, this time I quickly grabbed the stone platform, I found the skeletal hand sticking out near the stone platform, grabbed it, and then I used the hand that kept sticking out from under the mud to leave the whirlpool little by little.

The water on the periphery of the whirlpool is still spinning along the whirlpool, but the force here is much less, and I can resist the centrifugal force of the whirlpool on my own.

I saw that the hands under the silt were fan-shaped around the edge of the whirlpool, and after the fan-shaped arc, there were no more skeleton hands, and I judged that these skeletons must have fallen into a round pit, but I don't know what caused these skeletons to be trapped in the pit and unable to get out.

However, I didn't have time to think about it at this time, and I finally got out of the whirlpool, and now I had to run for my life first.

I didn't dare to swim back to the surface of the water, because judging from the shape of the whirlpool, it was in the shape of a cone with the tip facing down, and although it didn't look big at the bottom of the whirlpool, the whirlpool on the surface of the water should be several times larger than the underwater.

So I continued to swim towards the periphery of the whirlpool until I didn't feel the centrifugal force of the whirlpool before I came to the surface.

At this time I saw a faint layer of fog on the surface of the lake, and in the direction of the whirlpool, a thick fog, exactly like the one we saw when we passed by here the day before yesterday.

I didn't know where I was, and I couldn't see any boats on the water, so I took off the oxygen tank that was sinking behind me and floated on the surface for a long time.

Suddenly, I felt something touch on my buttocks, I thought it was a fish that hit me, but when I reached out and touched it, I was almost scared to death.

It turned out to be the skeletal body that had climbed up to my waist at some point, and was hanging behind my ass at this time.

The headless skeleton is no threat to me at this time, its hands are just scratching around without a purpose, I clasp its hands with my hands and it can't move, I originally wanted to throw the skeleton into the lake, but after thinking about it, I still think it's better to take it out, maybe I can find some clues on it.

I took off the clasp around my waist, tied the skeleton's hands, and lay on the water with it in my arms.

I don't know how long later, I suddenly heard a motor sound, I quickly turned over, looked up, and found that it was Brother Zeng's fishing boat, at this time Qiu Yan was standing at the bow of the boat, pointing at me excitedly shouting something.

More than ten minutes later, I was dragged onto the boat by Brother Zeng with the skeleton, and several people were stunned when they saw me with the skeleton, but when they found that the skeleton was still moving, they immediately retreated to the side.

"Hehe, it's not dangerous, didn't you see me tie my hands together?" I squeezed out a smile and said.

At this time, I was already exhausted, and I just wanted to get a good night's sleep, and as for the skeleton or something, I guess it wouldn't be too late to explain tomorrow.

"What about Huang Yueling?" I asked.

"She's fine, she's on Brother Teng's ship now!" Qiu Yan replied by holding me up.

"That's good, that's good!" I responded as I followed Qiu Yan into the cabin.

Qiu Yan helped me take off my wetsuit and covered me with a quilt, and it seemed that she also knew that what I needed most at this time was to sleep.

"I'll sleep first, and I'll talk about it when I wake up!" I had a weak commandment.

Qiu Yan stroked my forehead and gently said, "I know, I know." ”

Just as I was about to fall asleep in a daze, it occurred to me that there was something important that had not yet been said.

I raised my head, pulled Qiu Yan and said, "Let Brother Zeng hide the skeleton well, don't say anything about the skeleton except us, and don't tell Brother Teng about them, they can't understand!" ”

Qiu Yan put my hand back into the quilt and comforted: "Okay, don't worry, I'll tell Brother Zeng to go!" ”

I took Qiu Yan's hand and put it on my chest, just not wanting to let go of her, and as soon as I relaxed, I immediately felt the whole boat spinning, as if I was still in that whirlpool.

And just like that, I fell asleep in the whirlwind.

......

I don't know how long I slept, and when I woke up, I found myself still in the cabin, lying next to Qiu Yan, she was exhaling at me at this time, I reached out and touched the tip of her nose, and she didn't respond.

I got up and looked around, and found that Huang Yueling was still lying behind Qiu Yan, and when I saw her calm face, I thought that she was almost recovered.

I crept up and checked in the hatch to see that the ship was now docked at a certain pier, and it was dark outside, only a few lights were lit on the pier.

I tried to get up and stand up, but my legs felt like cotton, soft and heavy.

In desperation, I had to climb out of the cabin to see if Brother Zeng was also on the ship.

But after looking around, I couldn't find Brother Zeng, and the skeletons didn't know where they were hiding.

I was sitting on the deck at a loss, when Qiu Yan came out.

"When did you wake up, why didn't you call me?" Qiu Yan rolled up her sleeves, and it seemed that she felt a little cold.

"Is there anything to eat, I'm dying of hunger!" I asked with a shy smile.

Qiu Yan walked over and helped me back into the cabin.

"I knew you were going to eat as soon as you woke up, don't worry, I'm all set!"

After Qiu Yan helped me sit down, she lifted a large plastic bag from the corner of the cabin.

Qiu Yan threw the plastic bag next to me, then got up and brought a gas stove over, I opened the plastic bag and saw that there were several packets of instant noodles and a large box of boiled pig's trotters.

Looking at these very down-to-earth foods, my heart is simply happy, Qiu Yan knows me too well, what I need at this time is this kind of rough food, I don't need to chew much, I can swallow it with soup.

Qiu Yan took out the instant noodles from the plastic bag, poured a few bottles of water into the pot and turned on the stove.

I couldn't wait for the instant noodles to be cooked, so I took the pig's trotters out of the box and nibbled on them.

I don't know if I smelled the fragrance or was quarreled by the two of us, Huang Yueling got up at this time.

"Wow, don't call me when you eat delicious food, you guys aren't interesting enough!" With that, Huang Yueling sat down cross-legged, and then snatched a piece of pig's trotters from the box on my lap.

"Yue Ling'er, why did you say you followed me? It's useless except to add to the chaos! "As soon as I saw Huang Yueling, I couldn't help but quarrel with her.

"How did I know there would be a whirlpool down there, and I almost fainted when it was spinning around! Besides, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't know when you would have come out! Huang Yueling said vaguely with a mouth full of food.

I looked at Qiu Yan suspiciously, Qiu Yan smiled and said, "It was Yue Ling who stopped the whirlpool with the talisman, otherwise, our ship would not have been able to escape at all!" ”
