Chapter 1: The Beginning of It All

Next Chapter

The viscous mist permeated the eerily quiet surface of the lake, and with the sound of rushing water, the silence was broken, and the humble bamboo raft carried eight people to break through the thick fog and sail towards the more dense fog of the lake, leaving a long streak of water on the smooth surface of the lake. The water ripples spread slowly, and soon they will dissipate invisible, but the strange thing is that the bamboo raft has just sailed away, and all the water ripples and even the flowing fog that have spread out have all been still, as if time has been frozen in that moment, in this closed space, only the bamboo raft, slowly and firmly moving forward.

"Cheer up, it's almost to the center of the lake!" A neutral voice sounded from the bow of the ship, and the tone was slightly solemn.

As soon as the voice fell, a harmonious voice immediately sounded in the middle of the bamboo raft: "Second master, don't worry!" When we get to the place, look at us! ”

In order to balance the weight, eight people were scattered in the four sections of the bamboo raft, the bamboo raft was not long, but the fog was thick, and the vision was limited, and several people could only vaguely see each other's shadows. At the same time as the sound of the harmony sounded, there was a rustling sound from the bamboo raft, there was the sound of the blade entering the sheath, and the click of the bullet loading, these sounds were very chaotic, but very short, and when the sound fell, these trivial sounds disappeared completely, and the psychedelic lake returned to its previous dead silence, as if nothing had happened before.

The bamboo raft broke through the dense fog and continued to drive towards the inexplicable unknown. If you look down from the sky above the small lake, you will find that it is a lake surrounded by a hundred zhang giant peaks on all sides, and the outline of the lake is like a human skin that has been peeled off......

The huge lake and the huge mountains that stand in the forest do not hear the slightest insects and birds, and they are strangely quiet. The more this was the case, the more tense the atmosphere became, and the hearts of several people hung in the air. At this moment, the second master, who had reminded him before, looked solemn, his eyes were staring at an old compass in his hand, and he saw that the pointer of the compass did not know what had happened, and it was turning around irregularly, as if he was trembling, not knowing where to point, or not daring to point where it should point.

"Mom, it's fucking bad!" The second master stared at the compass for a long time, and suddenly spat a mouthful of phlegm into the lake viciously, and slapped it on the compass, shaking the pointer for a while.

"What's wrong, second master, what's wrong?" The stubble man next to the second master, who was responsible for controlling the direction, looked at the second master nervously, and the hands holding the oars involuntarily clenched a little.

The second master's eyes widened, and he scolded unceremoniously: "Get out of your mother's head, be careful with Lao Tzu, if something goes wrong with you, we all have to explain here today." After saying that, he didn't care what the stubble man was, took out a cigarette gun from his arms, filled it with tobacco, and lit it and smoked it.

was scolded by the split head and covered his face, but the stubble man was not angry, he respected this second master from the bottom of his heart, and after laughing, he continued to support the oar to control the direction. He didn't notice that at this moment, the second master's hand holding the cigarette gun was trembling.

The second master on the side was smoking a cigarette in a sullen voice, I don't know what he was thinking, when the stubble big man was shaking his head and shaking the oars, he always felt that something was wrong, but he thought about it, but he couldn't think of a reason, and he didn't feel more and more irritable in his heart.

Suddenly, the second master sitting beside him convulsed like a sheep's madness, foaming at the mouth, and the smoking gun fell on the bamboo raft, and the whole person fell straight into the lake. The stubble man was shocked when he saw this, hurriedly gave up the oars, rushed to the second master's side with an arrow step, and stretched out his hand to help, but he was still a step too late, and the second master planted himself into the lake and splashed the big beach of water.

The stubble man threw himself into the air, hurriedly jumped into the air, and changed direction, so as to avoid falling into the lake as well.

"Second Master!" The stubble man who stopped his figure knelt down on the side of the bamboo raft, and looked eagerly under the water, but only saw a deep darkness, how could there be a trace of the second master's figure. The stubble man has experienced countless tricks with the second master over the years, but every time there is the backbone of the second master, and now the second master has disappeared out of thin air, which suddenly made him panic, and he hurriedly beckoned the rest of the people on the bamboo raft to come over to help.

shouted several times in a row, but no one responded, the stubble man suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed to the other end of the bamboo raft, to his horror, the other six people on the bamboo raft all disappeared.

"Big Cow, Erhuzi, Ox Nose ......" The shout of the stubble man echoed above the dense fog-shrouded Dense Lake, forming an endless echo under the refraction of the peaks around the Dense Lake, at this moment, how he longed for a voice to answer him, even if it was the god operator he hated the most.

After all, his longing was in vain, and he was now the only one left in the bamboo raft shrouded in thick fog, or rather, the entire dense lake. The deathly silence and the overlapping echoes of the horror finally forced him back to the bow of the ship, and he was about to turn around and leave this strange place.

However, when he returned to the bow of the boat, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the second master was sitting on the bow of the boat, holding a cigarette gun in his hand, and puffing smoke in his mouth, and he had already gotten up from the water at some point.

Seeing that the second master was unharmed, the stubble man, who was already frightened, couldn't care about the strangeness in this, and rushed to the second master's side with an arrow, and said in surprise: "Second master, second master, you're fine!" Quick, he, they ......"

The moment the words touched the second master, he choked into his throat, and the stubble man's body trembled involuntarily, and he felt an inexplicable chill crawl up his arm. At the same time, the second master seemed to be unaware of his existence, still holding a cigarette gun, spitting smoke in his mouth, but his cigarette gun has been kept three inches away from his mouth, and he has never taken a puff, but the smoke in his mouth seems to be endless, bubbling out.

Until this time, the stubble man finally realized that something was wrong, the second master in front of him was as cold and stiff as a dead man, and the most strange thing was that his clothes did not have the slightest wetness, just now he watched him fall into the water, how could this be?

Sensing the unusual stubble big man and wanted to retract his hand, but to his horror, the hands he touched the second master were stiff, and they were shrouded in a cold breath, and this cold feeling was constantly extending, gradually enveloping his feet, limbs, and even his whole body.

Click, click, click......

There was a noisy sound of footsteps, and the sound came from the other end of the bamboo raft. Could it be that they came back, and hope rose in the stubble man's heart, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and shouted for help: "Big cow, Erhuzi, save me ......"

At the same time, he turned his head with difficulty, only to see that in the thick mist, several figures gradually became clear, but the posture of those figures was indescribably strange. Before he could think about it, something that appeared in the mist choked his cries for help in his throat, and all that was left was fear.

He finally knew why he thought the figures in the fog were weird, damn it, they weren't people at all, or they couldn't be called human anymore. Originally, except for him and the second master at the bow of the boat, there should be six people left on the bamboo raft, but now, their bodies are abnormally twisted, their eyes are gray, and the faces of the six people have all become the second master's, and there is no expression on their pale faces, and what is even more terrifying is that their bodies seem to be made up of many broken pieces of meat, and countless coagulated bruises and threads can even be seen from the combination of those pieces of meat.

Seeing these monsters keep approaching, the immobile stubble man let out a desperate roar, and then, the fastest monster had already reached his approach, grabbed his neck, and a cold chill came into his mind through the hideous stump, and before he suffocated, he caught a glimpse of the mutilated hand wearing the blood jade wrench that would never leave the god operator......

His vision blurred, but his consciousness seemed to be more awake, and the piercing screams in his ears made the stubble man feel like it was about to puncture his eardrums and tear his brain. At the same time, he felt his body getting stiffer and colder, accompanied by a 'plopping' sound of falling water, all sounds were still, and the world was silent.

••••••

"Hey, Da Biao, wake up ......"

In a haze, the stubble man heard someone call his name, and the sound was mixed with the sound of water, and his consciousness gradually cleared. When he was in a daze, he woke him up completely with a few big mouths, and the moment he opened his eyes, he happened to see a big hand beckoning to his face.

Da Biao was furious when he saw this, and wanted to dodge, but just about to move, he found that he was soaking in the water, and the cold lake water had already made him unconscious, if it wasn't for someone dragging his back, he was afraid that he would have sunk into the water.

Before he could react, Da Biao slapped a big mouth again, and the owner of that hand was also black-hearted, and this slap made his eyes go straight to Venus, and the words that just came to his mouth were pulled back.

"Damn, you're still fucking addicted, aren't you?" Seeing that the slap was going to continue to be beaten, Da Biao couldn't help but scold angrily, turned his head to look, and found that the person who slapped his mouth was actually the second master who had an accident just now, and he suddenly lost his temper.

"Second master, you're fine, great......"

"Shut up and don't make a sound!"

Seeing that the second master had returned to normal, Da Biao remembered the scene that had just happened, and he couldn't help but feel at ease, as if he had endless words in his heart, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was immediately stopped by the second master with an ugly face.

Although he was a little puzzled, but seeing the second master's solemn face, Da Biao immediately realized that something was wrong, and the terrifying picture was still vivid, and he didn't think it was a dream.

The water in the lake is clear, but because of the fog, it is not possible to see how deep the water is. After regaining consciousness, Da Biao didn't need the help of the second master, he tread water to keep floating on the lake, and at the same time looked around, to his surprise, the rest of the group was not far from him.

Seeing that these people were safe and sound, Da Biao recalled the picture just now in his mind, and his heart was cold, and he glanced at those people vigilantly, however, the fog was too thick, and he could only see the outlines of those people clearly.

After thinking about it again and again, Da Biao was about to tell the second master what had just happened, but at this moment, there was a rushing sound of paddling not far away, the sound was very small, but it was extremely clear on the frighteningly quiet lake.

The voice came from the front right, and approached at a rapid speed, gradually revealing a long black shadow, like the bamboo raft they had come. Da Biao was suspicious in his heart, and subconsciously counted the number of people soaked in the water, including himself, a total of eight, no less, so what's going on with this paddling?

Da Biao's heart tightened, and he looked at the second master, but saw that the second master had already discovered the black shadow, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water, and there was a lot more solemnity in his eyes.

"Run!"

Just when the black shadow was less than ten meters away from them, the second master suddenly shouted, and a fierce man plunged into the water, and when he reappeared, he was already ten meters away. The others seemed to be prepared and quickly swam out in the opposite direction of the shadow.

All this was too sudden, and he was caught off guard, Da Biao didn't react, and it was this stunned look, the black shadow had already arrived, and Da Biao was sure that the black shadow was their bamboo raft, but there seemed to be two strange shadows on the bamboo raft.

"Fuck, what the fuck are you doing, waiting to die?"

The second master, who had swam far away, saw that Da Biao not only did not run, but stretched out his head to look at the things on the bamboo raft, and was furious and scolded. At this time, Da Biao had already vaguely seen the shadow on the bamboo raft, and suddenly the hairs on his body exploded, wasn't that thing the monsters he saw just now?

He swam out almost desperately, trying to shake off the bamboo raft behind him, however, after too much delay before, the bamboo raft was almost attached to his back.

Da Biao shouted for help while swimming, and the second master and others in the distance were shocked and angry when they saw that he was about to be overtaken, but there was nothing they could do. At the same time, Da Biao, who was swimming forward, suddenly felt a chill in his back, and subconsciously turned his head to look, just this look, almost scared him to death. I saw a hideous grimace covered with black hair, baring fangs, and bloodstained, approaching the tip of his nose, and there was only an inch between the two, and a fishy smell came to his nose, making him feel suffocated.

"Ahh Da Biao let out a scream, and he didn't know where he got the courage, and punched him in the face.

"••••••"

Da Biao was burly and had practiced some kung fu, this punch was completely out of his strength, and the black-haired fanged monster was suddenly beaten backwards, and let out a terrible roar, but what was shocking was that the ghost thing only shook its head, its neck was stretched long, and its torso climbed below did not retreat a bit.

Da Biao opened his mouth in shock, and his heart was terrified to the point of no return, and it was this stunned kung fu, the black-haired monster twisted and turned around with its crooked head, and its mouth stained with viscous black liquid grinned, almost tearing to the root of the ear, and smiling at Da Biao, emitting bursts of sharp hiss like the call of a night owl.

Da Biao was completely dumbfounded, he didn't know how to react at all, and suddenly, the torn mouth bit down on him without warning, if this bite was solid, Da Biao's entire head would have to be moved.

At the moment of great danger, with a bang, a gunshot echoed on the misty lake, and then I saw a bullet penetrate the monster's mouth, bringing up a pool of viscous black liquid, beating the monster to a stagger, and buying precious time for Da Biao.

At this time, Da Biao didn't care which hero saved him, so he turned his head and prepared to swim, but at this moment, he found that several people in the distance were waving at him, and two of them actually raised their guns and aimed at him.

Seeing this, Da Biao sighed in his heart, he didn't dare to turn his head, but the reflection reflected in the water made him see that a huge, long-stretched mouth behind him had reached above his head, and it looked like he was about to bite down.

"Ah••••••h

Da Biao was so frightened that his heart was scattered, almost despairing, just when the long neck bit off, a strong wind flew over his head, only to hear a "click", a large bubble of fishy black liquid fell, poured him all over his head, when he turned his head to look, he found that the monster's head was completely broken, separated from the bamboo tube-like neck, and rolled down on the bamboo raft.

The liquid on his head was extremely disgusting, but at this time there was no time to care about this, Da Biao plunged into the water and swam desperately in the direction of the second master and others, he didn't know how long he held this breath, and when he got up, he had already arrived at the second master and others.

"Second Master ......"

Da Biao just screamed out out of breath, and the second master immediately glared at him, and at this moment, a low whining sound sounded on the surface of the lake, like the wail of a disgruntled undead, floating between the hazy mist, unable to distinguish the direction of the sound, which was particularly weird.

As soon as this voice sounded, Da Biao felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere, but in the next moment, this familiarity became extremely unfamiliar, but in that voice, there seemed to be an indescribable magic power, which made his consciousness blur, and there seemed to be some figures overlapping in front of him.

"Phew! Wake up! ”

Just as Da Biao was in a daze, a thunderous shout exploded in his ears, and at the same time, the overlapping figures in front of him completely dissipated. The next moment, he only felt a splitting headache, and the original mournful whispers all turned into sharp screams at this moment, as if a sharp knife had slashed directly at his consciousness through his skull.

The rest of the people were in the same situation as Da Biao, covering their heads and showing pain on their faces.

"Quick, dive underwater..."

A female voice sounded, Da Biao heard that the voice was the sound that pulled him out of the psychedelia, and he didn't hesitate, after taking a deep breath, a fierce man dived underwater......

The deep lake water, pitch black, without the slightest light, Da Biao couldn't see anything clearly, the moment he entered the water, the sharp hiss that made Da Biao's mind burst completely disappeared, and all that was left was the shaking sound of the lake water pressing on his ears.

I don't know how long it took, that breath was completely exhausted, and the suffocating sensation of lack of oxygen made his consciousness blur again. Finally, Da Biao couldn't help but surface, breathing in the air of the lake, while looking around vigilantly.

At this look, Da Biao was stunned, at this time where he was, where was there still a misty lake, only to see that the surroundings were as dark as ink, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and he could only perceive the cold lake water by the touch from his body.

He waved his hand and touched it, but he didn't touch anything, the sky above, the green mountains around, all disappeared at this time, only endless darkness, the darkness that swallowed everything, and he even wondered if the sound just now made him blind.

With a chill in his heart, he hurriedly fumbled for the fire fold. The fire fold is packed with waterproof kraft paper, and when it blows, a little spark lights up in this absolutely dark environment, Da Biao's heart is relieved, although the fire is weak, but at least it proves that he is not blind.

With the firelight, Da Biao looked around for the second master and others, but the strange thing was that the group was obviously diving together in the same place, but at this time they were all gone.

What's going on?

Da Biao's heart was furious, but he didn't dare to shout, for fear of attracting the terrifying monster before.

And at this moment, a cold shrill laugh suddenly sounded behind his ears, as if close to his ears.

"Huh... Boom... ......"

Da Biao's scalp was numb, and he subconsciously turned his head to look back......
