"What?!"

When Bai Yuxuan and the others heard this, they hurriedly ran forward.

The water was so clear that if it weren't for the fact that the stream was flowing slowly, there would be no water at all.

The pebbles at the bottom of the stream were smooth and arranged in an unusually neat order, as if someone had arranged them one by one.

But at this moment, under the incomparably clear water, on top of the round and smooth pebbles, there was a thing.

is also such a thing, which made Bai Yuxuan and the three of them suddenly retreat when they saw it.

A skull.

The skull had apparently been corrupted over a long period of time, and there was not a single trace of flesh left on it.

Generally speaking, after death, the body will take several years or even more than ten years before the body will completely decay, but this depends on the environment and climate.

This means that the owner of this skull should have died here at least a few years ago, or even a dozen years ago.

"It seems that there have really been people dead here...... Zhou Xiwei looked around and said nervously.

"What? Are you scared? Or you can go back by yourself. ”

"! I'm not afraid, but let's get out of here quickly. ”

"Well, well. We'll eat as we walk, and we'll walk slowly. ”

Then the three of them quickly packed up their things and left the place.

"Hey, you say, how did that guy die? I guess it must have been drowned! ”

Zhou Xiwei chewed beef jerky in his mouth and asked vaguely.

Who knew that Bai Yuxuan and Lu Zhentian didn't take him, they just ate dry food silently.

After a few minutes, Lu Zhentian said faintly: "I hope we don't die in this ghost place." ”

Ever since the skull was discovered, the atmosphere for the three of them had become a bit dreary.

Bai Yuxuan didn't want this atmosphere to affect his next action, so he stuffed the compressed biscuits into his mouth in three or two bites and poured a large mouthful of water.

Then he said vaguely: "In my opinion, that man...... What's that?! ”

Before he could finish his sentence, he seemed to see something, and immediately drank loudly.

Bai Yuxuan's loud shout just freed Lu Zhentian and Bai Yuxuan from that state of being dull and even wanting to retreat.

"What do you see?!"

They both asked in unison.

"No, I don't know. It was running so fast that I couldn't see it. Could it be a squirrel or a monkey? ”

"How can animals survive in this environment? You're not dazzled, right? ”

Lu Zhentian cupped his eyes and asked quite rationally.

"No, I don't know......"

Bai Yuxuan instantly seemed to be lost in his soul, and slowly walked forward alone.

In fact, from entering the Valley of Lost Souls to seeing the skull, Bai Yuxuan was also a little scared in his heart.

It's just that as the first person to bring up this matter, he didn't show it, but forced himself to pretend to be calm.

"Should we really not come? Are we really going to die here? Alas, alas......"

Bai Yuxuan walked forward while muttering to himself.

Before he knew it, he had walked hundreds of meters, and Zhou Xiwei and Lu Zhentian hurriedly followed.

Bai Yuxuan was in a state of dazed distraction at the moment, he just kept walking forward, but he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet.

At this time, the flat road in front of him suddenly turned into a slope, and Bai Yuxuan still didn't know it.

The next foot stepped on the air and rolled down the slope.

He crushed countless dead branches along the way, and the sound of clattering was endless.

More than ten seconds later, Bai Yuxuan fell heavily down the hillside.

"What's going on?! Are you okay?! Lu Zhentian ran over in three steps and two steps, and asked Bai Yuxuan at the bottom of the hillside.

"No problem......"

Bai Yuxuan struggled to stand up and shook the dust off his clothes with his hands.

"There were only branches and fallen leaves on the hillside, so I didn't get hurt, and now I'm going to climb up right away." Bai Yuxuan shouted towards Lu Zhentian at the top of the hillside.

"Wait, something is wrong......"

Just as Bai Yuxuan was about to climb up, he suddenly felt that the soles of his feet were soft, and there was an ethereal feeling like stepping into the air.

And he felt his body slowly sinking.

"Holy! It's a swamp! ”

Bai Yuxuan hurriedly lay down, because this could increase the contact area between the body and the swamp and reduce the pressure, so that the body would not easily sink quickly.

"What's going on?!"

Lu Zhentian saw Bai Yuxuan suddenly lying down, and he didn't know what special circumstances had happened.

"Swamp, there's a swamp down here!" Bai Yuxuan raised his head with difficulty and shouted.

However, this caused his body to sink a little more.

When Lu Zhentian heard that there was a swamp under the hillside, he immediately panicked, but he quickly calmed down.

"What to do? What to do? That's right, rope, rope ......"

Lu Zhentian suddenly thought of the nylon rope that Bai Yuxuan bought, and he turned the nylon rope out of his bag.

Then he cut it into two pieces with a knife, he tied one end of the two nylon ropes to a tree next to him that looked quite strong, and then he tied one of the nylon ropes to his waist, and said to Zhou Xiwei, who was also full of worry on his face next to him: "I will go down Bai Yuxuan, you are here to watch the situation, if the rope suddenly falls off, you must tie it back to the tree in time." ”

After speaking, Lu Zhentian hunched over and walked towards Bai Yuxuan step by step.

As time passed, Bai Yuxuan felt that he was sinking deeper and deeper, and he even had to raise his head to breathe.

Lu Zhentian walked very carefully, he often stepped on the ground with one foot, and only lifted the other foot.

As Lu Zhentian got closer and closer to him, Bai Yuxuan felt that there seemed to be some strange changes around him.

Suddenly there was a strange swishing sound from below the swamp, which had been relatively calm, and I wondered if something was swimming in the swamp.

"What?!"

Bai Yuxuan lay on the swamp, trying his best to keep his body calm, he turned his head slightly to look around, and found nothing unusual.

But the scene he saw in the next moment frightened him out of the sky.

A black mass appeared on the swamp without warning, and quickly approached Bai Yuxuan.

When he got closer, Bai Yuxuan finally saw the body of the mass clearly, it turned out to be hundreds of locusts!

The appearance of grasshoppers in swamps is a common occurrence, but it is extremely rare for hundreds of grasshoppers to appear together.

Before Bai Yuxuan could call for help, hundreds of leeches drowned him.

He could only close his eyes and mouth tightly, and pinch his nose tightly with his hands. Because in addition to sucking blood, locusts can also burrow into people's bodies along their mouths or nostrils, and that's the real trouble.

Lu Zhentian obviously rested to Bai Yuxuan's bad situation, and he immediately sped up and leaned towards Bai Yuxuan.

Because of the attack of the locusts, Bai Yuxuan would inevitably struggle, which made his sinking speed suddenly increase, and he saw that Bai Yuxuan was about to be completely swallowed by the swamp.
