Chapter 548: Skull Spirit

Seeing this, the underwater lieutenant Chi Ran and Bai Zhi subconsciously wanted to float up, but quickly calmed down again, looked at each other, and then approached the propeller, wanting to see clearly.

After the two approached, they saw through the strong light that they were three human heads, and the most terrifying thing was that the hair on the skulls was very large, and it was very thin, as if the hair of each head was several meters long, and in addition, the three heads also seemed to be glued together, facing three different directions. Although the face is not rotten, it has been soaked white, and holes about a centimeter in diameter have appeared in the skin, and bubbles will emerge from them.

Bai Zhi hesitated for a long time before taking out the dagger and trying to cut off the hair wrapped around the propeller. Wei Chiran went in the other direction and cut the hair underneath with a fishbone sword. At the same time that the two of them cut off those hairs little by little, the others who were still watching on the deck heard a strange sound of "whine" on the sea, Tang Anshu immediately signaled to turn on the strong flashlight to check, and at the moment when the light illuminated, they saw that the entire yacht was surrounded by strange human heads.

The heads of the people on the water were all in groups of three, and there were a lot of hairs, scattered around, and the scene made people's scalps tingle.

He Changqing actually leaned over to look at it carefully, and then said with certainty: "It's the skull spirit." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "This is the skull spirit?" I've only heard it before, and this is the first time I've seen it. ”

"The skull spirit, also known as the skull fish, is strictly speaking a kind of water ghost, and I have never heard of a skull spirit in the sea?" Tang Anshu walked around the deck and found that the ship was full of those skull spirits, and he didn't know where they came from.

He Changqing now understands what the old fishermen mean by sea ghosts, that is, these skull spirits, and the skull spirits are produced because in ancient times, military merits in wars were counted by human heads, and those personal heads were usually dug and buried after being counted, but most of the troops would directly discard them. The earliest legend of the skull spirit originated in the southwest region, when the barbarians there fought with the Central Plains army and would cut off their heads, but the purpose was not to count military merits, but to throw them into the swamp.

At that time, the barbarians believed that the swamp was a dead place, and the living could not get out, and the dead could not leave, so if the person's head was cut off and thrown in, then half of the person's soul would be trapped in the swamp, and even if it turned into a powerful ghost, it would not be too lethal. But those barbarians didn't expect that those heads would eventually turn into another kind of non-ghost and non-demon monster in the swamp, similar to the legendary flying head barbarian, but they could not fly, and could only move in the water, dragging the people who tried to walk through the swamp into the water with their hair and drowning them.

It stands to reason that the skull spirits only exist in the deep mountains and swamps, and they do not have three skull spirits together.

"Oh no," Tang Anshu immediately pressed the intercom, "Bai Zhi, Wei Chiran, hurry up, hurry up, those skull spirits will attack people!" ”

When the word skull spirit came from the earphones, Yu Chiran and Bai Zhi were stunned, as soon as the two cut off their hair, they immediately swam towards it, but as soon as they swam up and surfaced, they saw that all the so-called skull spirits were floating around.

The skulls didn't attack them, they just acted like floaters. Wei Chiran and Bai Zhi climbed up the iron ladder and told the others that their hair had been cut, and An Wanghai immediately restarted the yacht when he heard this, and continued to gallop in the direction of Wedge Island. But the boat didn't drive long and was trapped again, but this time it wasn't the engine's problem, but the boat was circling in place, and there were countless skulls around the yacht before, and this time it turned into a yacht around the group of skulls in the middle.

Tang Anshu asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

An Wanghai's hands left the rudder: "I haven't moved." ”

He Changqing has already begun to change his diving suit: "You have to go into the water, the lone army has set up something similar to an enchantment around here, these skull spirits are the medium of the enchantment, even if you destroy all these skull spirits, it is useless, you must go underwater." ”

Tang Qianlin and others have never heard of this kind of enchantment on the sea, He Changqing explained, this kind of enchantment is a secret method in Southeast Asia, the earliest fishermen in order to protect their own territory let the wizard set up, in the early years some fishermen are very good at this kind of secret method, they will protect their own fishing grounds, do not let outsiders fish. Later, many fishermen became pirates because they could not survive, and this secret method was naturally mastered by pirates in Southeast Asia, and the pirates improved these secret methods to trap passing ships, so that those looted ships thought they were ghosts.

"Leave three on the boat," He Changqing put on his diving suit, "choose two with me, they must be good in water." ”

The person with excellent water quality here, except for Wei Chiran, is Bai Zhi, and the two of them happened to not take off their diving suits, so they stood on the edge of the boat with He Changqing and prepared to go into the water.

He Changqing pointed to the group of skull spirits and said: "There is a disadvantage of this kind of enchantment, that is, all the skull spirits will not leave the range of the center point, so after we go into the water, we must dive directly towards the center point where the group of skull spirits are located, and we must not turn on the lights." ”

Wei Chiran asked, "We can't see anything without turning on the lights." ”

He Changqing said: "If the lights are turned on, we won't be able to see anything." ”

Bai Zhi and Wei Chiran didn't understand what He Changqing meant, and when they wanted to ask, He Changqing had already jumped into the water, and the two had to follow.

Tang Anshu and Tang Qianlin stood there and watched, and glanced at each other again, while An Wanghai simply took ice from the freezer and put it in the cup, and poured whiskey on it, looking like it was safe when it came.

"If this kind of barrier is laid alone, it means that there is really a problem on this island," Tang Anshu turned his head to look at Wedge Island, which was no longer visible, "No wonder no ships can get close to here." ”

Tang Qianlin thought of something, but he didn't say it.

Tang Anshu seemed to be talking to himself: "We are definitely not the first people to see the skull spirit, since this is the case, the news spread, didn't 517 even send someone to investigate?" It's weird. ”

Yes, Tang Qianlin also felt strange, 517 was in charge of these strange things, there were skulls around Wedge Island, and the ships couldn't get close, 517 must have received the news a long time ago, why didn't he send someone to check? Even if a series of major events happened before, even if 517 could not carry out operations, it would send people to collect intelligence, and with Lao He's mind and intelligence resources, he might not know that this place was related to the lonely army.

Could it be that Lao He ...... Tang Qianlin didn't dare to think about it anymore, he felt that it was impossible, he trusted Lao He, it can be said that Lao He became the director of 517, and he also had his encouragement, he chose Lao He from a group of people, thinking that he was a loyal and reliable person.

Tang Anshu just looked at Tang Qianlin from behind, thinking about his current thoughts, if he was not wrong, Tang Qianlin at this moment should be suspicious, and at the same time rejecting this suspicion.

He Changqing, who was in the water, had already dived to a depth of 30 meters, looking at the depth gauge on his wrist, he knew that he had to continue diving, and it was already reluctant to dive to this depth at his age. Although it is said that this wetsuit can dive to about 100 meters, whether He Changqing's body can withstand it is another matter.

Wei Chiran and Bai Zhi followed closely behind He Changqing, and they also kept looking at the numbers on the meter, and the numbers kept increasing, from 30 to 50, followed by 80, which was already close to 100. It stands to reason that if the value reaches 90, they must return, because the wetsuit can't stand it, and if something happens to the wetsuit, people can't stand it.

But He Changqing didn't mean to stop, the fear brought by the dark seabed was twofold, and he continued to dive for a while, and when the data became 95, He Changqing finally stopped, pointed to the location below, and motioned for the two to look.

Bai Zhi and Wei Chi saw a faint tripod floating in the water, and there were three skull spirits around the tripod, and the skull spirits were moving at a constant speed.

He Changqing gestured for a while, and Wei Chiran and Bai Zhi understood that what he meant was that the three people stood in the three directions of the Ding, and then pulled the three skull spirits apart together, and the next thing was handled by him.

Wei Chiran and Bai Zhi came to the three positions according to He Changqing's instructions, and then suspended there, He Changqing raised three fingers, and when he finished counting, the three of them started together.

After He Changqing finished counting, the three of them pulled the skull spirit in front of them together, but Bai Zhi didn't catch the skull spirit because of the slippery hand, but only grabbed the hair, and those hairs slipped out directly from Bai Zhi's fingers. Bai Zhi panicked and quickly turned on the light, but the moment his headlamp lit up, the skull spirit and Ding in front of him disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Bai Zhi knew that he had done something wrong, so he hurriedly turned off the light, but He Changqing signaled him not to move, still suspended there. Not long after, the three skull spirits appeared again, and began to move up and down around the bodies of the three people, and when the skull spirit's pale and hole-ridden face approached Wei Chiran's face, Wei Chiran's whole body was numb.

What's next? Because they couldn't speak underwater, the two could only try their best to understand He Changqing's gestures, and He Changqing pointed underwater, which meant that they still needed to continue to dive down and turn off the lights at the same time, because Ding would glow, so it could be seen without lights.

Wei Chiran immediately objected, and if he dived any further, neither the man nor the diving suit could stand it.

He Changqing spread out his hands, and then regardless of the opposition, he drilled down, Wei Chiran and Bai Zhi could only follow him, and after diving for another five meters, the three of them saw the Shimmer Ding and the three skull spirits suspended there.

He Changqing was already a little uncomfortable, but he still supported and signaled Bai Zhi not to miss again this time. After Bai Zhi made an OK gesture, the three of them found their position as before, and after He Changqing counted three times, they dragged the three skull spirits away directly.

This time, Bai Zhi was worried that something was wrong, so he directly hugged the skull spirit in front of him to his chest, and then swam to the back, but what he didn't expect was that his way was also wrong, which directly caused the skull spirit to be frightened and directly wrapped his hair around his upper body.

Bai Zhi's arms were tied and he could only struggle, Wei Chi let go of the skull spirit in his hand and swam towards him, trying to cut those hairs with the fishbone sword, while He Changqing reached out to open the lid of the Shimmer Ding, and then carefully put his hand into it, groping in it.

Bai Zhi felt the hair wrapped around her get tighter and tighter, and one of the faces of the skull spirits that approached her face became more and more hideous......
