Chu Tianyi and Xiao Meng happened to be sitting relatively close to the river, and when they heard Gu Xiaoqian's scream, he turned over and jumped out, rushed directly to the river, stretched out his hand to pull Gu Xiaoqian, who had already sat on the ground, up, blocked behind him, and asked with his head slightly sideways, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Xiaoqian trembled and raised her finger, "River, river, ...... river"

At this time, Bei Qin and others also rushed over, "What's wrong?" ”

A few people walked to the river and looked underwater, this section of the river is slow, and after years of washing, the water quality is very clear, and the water surface is shining with strange waves.

However, they didn't care about looking at this, and by the light of Gu Xiaoqian's flashlight hanging on the shore, Chu Tianyi and the others saw a white human face in the water, looking at them with their eyes open.

This scene made the people present suddenly blow up their scalps, Bei Qin's expression was serious, his brows were tightly locked, he raised his flashlight and shone it into the water, and suddenly a guy shouted: "This, this is a pillar!" ”

"Quick, save someone!!"

Three or four men rushed to the river, reached out and pulled the pillar that had been submerged in the water. But after pulling a few times, I didn't pull it.

"Why is it so heavy?" Everyone was wondering, and suddenly another man shouted, "Look, there are people in this water!" ”

Bei Qin immediately ran over, and saw that there was also a stranger soaking in the water here, also with two eyes open, and one face looked very pale. The state is almost the same as that of the pillar.

"There's it too!" A guy used a flashlight to shine a flashlight on the surface of the water and leaned towards the center of the river, and the same unknown person soaked straight in the water, with some prominent eyes wide open, which made everyone on the shore feel cold in their backs.

"How can there be so many people?" Some guys asked in horror.

"Isn't it from the Qi family?"

"Pull it up and take a look!"

Bei Qin looked at this scene, thought for a moment, and turned his head to see where the pillar had sunk. At this time, a man carefully illuminated the position under the pillar with a flashlight, and then shouted to the people on the shore: "His foot seems to be entangled by something, everyone exert yourself!" ”

The people on the shore grabbed his clothes and pulled them together, and after some effort, they heard only a thud in the water, and the pillar was pulled out of the water. After the people got him ashore, they were surprised to find that there was a black round pier attached to the ankle of the pillar, and there were many aquatic grass-like things on it, wrapped around the ankle of the pillar.

Chu Tianyi went over and touched his carotid artery, and shook his head with some regret, "It's hopeless." ”

Gu Xiaoqian looked at it in horror and asked nervously, "What is on his feet?" ”

Pei Qin also walked over and squatted down, took out a short knife, and gently flicked the things on his feet a few times. The guy next to him helped him with a flashlight, looked down carefully, and suddenly exclaimed, "This thing seems to grow on his feet?" ”

"On the feet?" Everyone's faces changed instantly when they heard this, it had only been separated for more than ten minutes, how could such a thing grow on their feet.

Chu Tianyi also squatted down and looked at it, picked the trouser leg of the pillar with the tip of his knife, and couldn't help but gasp, "This thing didn't grow from his feet, but from his ankles into the flesh." ”

"Can this thing get into human flesh? Could it be alive? One of the fellows said in a broken voice, and the others immediately stepped back.

Xiao Meng stood next to Chu Tianyi with a disgusting expression, turned his head to look at the river, and took a deep breath. Gu Xiaoqian also got up and walked far away from the riverbank, her face was also a little ugly.

Bei Qin stared at the corpse of the pillar for a moment, then at what was under his feet. He picked up the short knife and made a cut in the palm of the pillar, and the pale skin was cut open, and strangely only a small amount of blood was left in the pink wound.

Chu Tianyi could see clearly beside him, and his heart suddenly moved, no wonder the skin of the pillar became such a color, and it would never become like this after being soaked in water for such a short time, the real reason was actually blood loss. But where did his blood go, the only wound was under his feet, Chu Tianyi immediately set his eyes on the thing like a big sarcoma at the foot of the pillar.

Bei Qin used the tip of the knife to stain some blood from the wound on the pillar's hand, and approached his feet, and those black aquatic plants were like snakes that found their prey, and immediately wrapped themselves around the tip of the knife, sucking the blood on it clean.

"How so?" The guy next to him asked when he saw this scene.

Bei Qin pointed at the "sarcoma" at the foot of the pillar with a knife, and gently scratched a hole, and a large amount of blood gushed out at once, "This is a creature that can suck blood, it can burrow into people's skin, absorb blood and store it in it." ”

Chu Tianyi felt a smell of blood in the air, "Then this creature survives by sucking blood?" ”

"Of course not," Bei Qin looked at the dead pillar, his expression a little sad, "In the past thousand years, it is estimated that no one has been here except us, and if they really live by sucking blood, they would have starved to death." Brother Zhu accidentally landed on the road and lost his life. As he spoke, he reached out and closed the pillar's round eyes, and let out a long sigh.

Pei Qin stood up and continued, "I'm afraid sucking blood is just a means of survival for it. I once saw an insect in Tibet, and the locals called it the blood jar. They feed on the blood of livestock such as yaks. Originally only the size of a mung bean, the bug can be the size of a peanut bean after sucking blood. It then burrows into tree holes or in the dirt and dormants for almost a month, waiting for blood to be exhausted before coming out to feed. Of course, if it doesn't suck blood, there are other ways to survive and hunt. I think the contents of this water are similar to the blood jars in Tibet. ”

Chu Tianyi nodded, he didn't expect that this Pei Qin's experience was still very rich.

A fellow came over to find Bei Qin and handed him a soaked slip, "This is what we found on another corpse, this is a slip for the purchase of field equipment, using the name of the Qi family." ”

Bei Qin took it and took a look, "Sure enough, it's the Qi family, it seems that they have also been tricked here, and their losses are even more heavy than ours." As he spoke, he threw the slip back into the river, turned his head and saw several guys still looking into the water with flashlights, Pei Qin asked the guy next to him curiously, "What are they looking for?" ”

"Oh," said the fellow, glancing at him, "they saw something shiny underwater, and wondered what it was. ”

Bei Qin laughed, "Let them pay attention, be careful not to be sucked dry of blood by the things in the water!" ”

"Okay." The man answered, and turned back.

Xiao Meng leaned over to Chu Tianyi's side, "Brother Yi, do you think there really be any treasures in this water, I seem to have seen something shiny under the water just now." ”

Chu Tianyi glanced into the water, but didn't see anything for a while, "Don't be greedy, the things in this water are terrible, even if there is a treasure, you can't take it out." Be careful, I think this place is more dangerous than we thought, there must be some evil place. ”

Gu Xiaoqian stood a little farther away and said to them, "Hey, I think you better stay away from the river, and let those blood-sucking monsters pull you into the water." ”

Bei Qin was still staring at the pillar on the ground and the things on his feet, "At present, it seems that the blood-sucking things in the water don't have that much strength to pull people into the water, and this is also something I haven't figured out, what prompted the pillars and those people of the Qi family to enter the water." ”

Chu Tianyi thought for a moment and said to Bei Qin: "Could it be that there are other dangerous creatures in this water?" ”

"This is unlikely," Pei Qin waved his hand repeatedly, "Brother Tianyi, you can see clearly, the water flow in this section of the river is slow and the water is clear, and what is in the water can be said to be clear." It's okay to sneak up on one or two people, how can it be possible to pull so many people into the water. ”

Let Bei Qin retort unceremoniously, Chu Tianyi was a little embarrassed, he just wanted to speak, Gu Xiaoqian suddenly jumped up and shouted in the direction of the riverbank: "Hey, what are you doing!" Before she could finish speaking, she heard a "plop" sound, and one of the men jumped into the water.

"What the hell are you guys doing!" Bei Qin looked up suddenly, and scolded in surprise, "Looking for death!" Everyone, stay away from the river at once! ”
