Chapter 021: Scooping up the bones

The water level in this section of the 'Rolling Corpse Bridge' is relatively deep, but fortunately, the river is not muddy and the current is not turbulent.

After I took off my shirt and took the 'Corpse Fixation Pill', I immediately took a deep breath and plunged headlong.

The river splashed with waves, and I quickly dived underwater, and soon reached the bottom of the river.

Although we are from the mountains, our water is still good, and we like to swim in the reservoir when we are young.

I don't have to brag about it, but I can't pick out a few people in our area who are more water-based than me.

So diving is almost pediatric for me.

But diving under the "rolling corpse bridge" of this evil sect, it is the first time in my life, and I have to cheer up the spirit of twelve points, and I have to work hard!

The river was cold, and as soon as I dived, I felt a biting chill go straight to my heart.

I hurriedly held my breath tightly, and began to search the water for the reddish bones that Mr. Jia had said, with my eyes half-open.

Visibility under the water was very low, so I could only estimate the location of the stone bridge and search the vicinity carefully.

If you want to say how many water ghosts are under this "rolling corpse bridge", we don't know at all.

According to Mr. Jia's words, I am almost no different from a dead person now, with no yang energy on my body, and even if there are other ghosts under the water except for the iron abacus, they can't see me at all.

I don't know if Mr. Jia is deliberately emboldening me, or if it's true, I don't dare to pack the ticket in my heart.

There are so many things in the world that yin and yang are strange, and many of them cannot be pondered with ordinary thinking.

I thought to myself as I searched carefully, but I had only been swimming for a long time, and the bottom of the water seemed to change immediately, and the water around me began to bubble vigorously.

It can't be such an evil sect, right?

I couldn't help but shake my body, and quickly looked around, but before I could see anything famous, suddenly I felt a strong suction force pull straight towards my body.

Is there really a water ghost pulling people?

I was secretly frightened, and immediately quickly leaned over to a nearby rock, and after grasping the stone, I quickly swept around.

It was still a blur underneath the water, and I didn't notice anything scary.

It's just strange that the invisible suction force has been continuing, as if an invisible person has grabbed my feet and kept pulling me to the ground.

What the hell is going on?

I clung to the stone and kept my eyes open as wide as I could at the source of that power.

At this time, I noticed that on one side of the stone pier, there seemed to be a large vortex swaying from side to side!

I immediately cursed in my heart, it turned out that this thing was doing tricks.

But soon after, I saw a faint red light on the edge of the whirlpool, flickering in and out like a human blink.

Seeing this, I was overjoyed, the bones of the iron abacus must be near that whirlpool!

But after looking at it carefully, I didn't dare to swim over in the end.

Because I found out that it was a dark hole, and the dark hole under the water was about the size of a bucket.

When I saw this, I wondered in my heart, so I had to swim up and ask Mr. Jia.

When Mr. Jia saw me coming up empty-handed, he seemed to have guessed what was wrong with the bottom of the water, and asked me to quickly say what was going on.

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is a dark hole under the water, and the bones of the iron abacus are on the edge of the hole. ”

Hearing me say that there is a dark hole, Mr. Jia is also puzzled.

Li Yue thought for a while on the side and said, "Could it be a change in the earth's crust?" ”

In some places, she said, there were no cracks or caves before, but after the earth's crust changes, cracks or caves and things like that may pop up.

I knew she was highly educated, but at this time I was in no mood to pay attention to whether it was caused by changes in the earth's crust.

I just want to take out the bones of the iron abacus as soon as possible to save my life!

Mr. Jia pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "This is easy to do." ”

Then he told me to go back and find a long rope.

Naturally, I understood what Mr. Jia meant, he wanted to tie me up with a rope and then go down again, so that I could prevent being pulled into the hole by the whirlpool.

In order to save time, I borrowed a few nylon ropes from a nearby family.

Mr. Jia connected the rope and told me to tie it around my waist, and then asked Li Yue to tie the other end of the rope to the stone bridge.

"Lu family doll, don't worry about going into the water, this rope is strong enough!" Mr. Jia tried to pull a few times.

Li Yue was afraid that the bolt was not strong enough, so he stood on the bridge and pulled the other end stiffly.

I took a deep breath and jumped down again, diving quickly.

This time, I followed the general direction before, and slowly leaned near the whirlpool, with a rope tied around my waist, and my heart was naturally much more stable.

Feeling that the previous suction force was obviously not so great, I swam as hard as I could, and the closer I got to the edge of the hole, the more powerful the whirlpool became, and almost my whole body was about to spin with it.

Fortunately, there were a few large rocks on the side, and I struggled to cling to the stones to stabilize my body.

Then he turned around and slowly moved towards the place where the red light glowed, and at this time it was very close to the mouth of the hole, and the suction was very strong, and if he was not careful, he would be pulled in.

No wonder the rumors say that people who fall into the river can't pick up the corpses, and put aside the water ghosts to pull people, this thing alone is enough for people to drink a pot.

I guess those corpses have been sucked in by this thing!

I thought to myself, and my hands and feet did not stop at all, and I clung to the stone and moved towards the hole.

Finally, I was almost close to the mouth of the hole, but at this time, I noticed that the red light, which had not moved at all, was moving slowly!

I was stunned.

Did the iron abacus find me?

However, I was stunned for a moment, and then I had the courage to move towards the opening.

Because Mr. Jia said that even if he was discovered by the iron abacus, he couldn't help me at all. For Mr. Jia's words, I still chose to believe it without hesitation.

But I had only moved a dozen steps out, and in an instant something was wrong.

The reddish glow didn't seem to be bones at all, but more like a living thing!

Is it the fish, shrimp or river turtles in the water?

I was stunned for a moment, and then slowly moved forward a dozen or so steps.

But it was these dozen or so steps that I almost couldn't help but call out directly.

It wasn't a fish or a turtle or anything like that, it was a snake!

A snake with a cockscomb on its head glowing red!

It was now curled up in the crack of the stone on the edge of the hole, and its mouth was making a burst of "cooing" sounds, just like the rooster crowing!

Seeing this, I reacted instantly, and immediately thought of the "cockscomb snake" often mentioned in the mouths of the older generation.

It is said that this snake has a red cockscomb on its head, and can glide and even roll and jump around, and it is said that it used to be occasionally encountered in the mountains.

But there is a "cockscomb snake" in the water, and I have never heard anyone mention it, could it be that this thing has moved from the mountains to underwater activities?

Just as I was thinking about it, the snake seemed to have discovered my existence, and the red light on my head gradually became brighter and brighter, and it stood directly on the spot in an instant!

I was taken aback by this, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

It is said that this thing is extremely poisonous, once you target people, you can only run around in a circle to avoid it, if you walk in a straight line, even if you give birth to four legs, you may not be able to outrun it!

Fortunately, however, the snake only stood up and was slightly stunned, and then swooped into the hole and disappeared.

I secretly sweated, if it really pounced on me, even if I was good at the water, there would definitely be only a dead end!

It is not true to say that people who are unlucky for a period of time should always take a good fortune.

After the "cockscomb snake" fled, I found the bones of an iron abacus in its huddled stone crevice.

The red light on the bones was not as dazzling as the top of the cockscomb snake's head, and what surprised me the most was that the bones of the iron abacus were very well preserved, the skull, thigh bones, everything was complete, almost a lot!

In my mind, I guess the cockscomb snake may have been pressing these bones all along, which is why it is like this.

That animal must be about to become a sperm, I don't know how many years it has lived!

Now, while I was still holding my breath, I hurriedly moved over, thinking about picking up a few bones before ventilating.

But I had just crawled to the bones of the iron abacus, when out of nowhere, a hand suddenly stretched out and pressed it on my back!
