After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhao Wei looked at his watch a little impatiently and said, "It should be okay, arrange someone to go down." ”

Not only the Zhao family, but even the Wu family specially brought a few people with particularly good water nature. Because they were not worried about each other, they each sent three people down.

Each of them pulled an arm-thick rope, jumped directly into the water, and dived underwater.

Of course, I couldn't let them succeed, so I sneaked into the water and followed them not far away.

The six of them kept the same distance between them, and the ropes they pulled looked thicker in the water, like pythons, swaying and swaying.

The river here is not shallower than the Liaohe River. They dived for more than ten minutes before they reached the bottom of the river.

In the water, my eyesight is very good, and they all hold strong flashlights in their hands, and they can see clearly within a radius of about one zhang.

Then I realized that there was a black mass standing in the water. It was very tall, almost like a hill.

Of the six, the leader pointed to the dark shadow and motioned for them all to swim over.

As the distance got closer, the light of the flashlight shone on the dark shadow.

Only then did I realize that it was the water-sheltering rhinoceros I had seen last night. It's just that it looks taller in the water.

Its head bowed slightly, and it posed as if it was going to duel its opponent.

Perhaps it is only at night, when the moonlight is at its strongest, that it is most spiritual, and it emerges from the water. In the daytime, it resembles a normal crystal sculpture.

It was made of exactly the same material as the Crystal Palace, and it seemed to be the work of the same person or organization.

The water-avoiding rhinoceros is carved vividly, which can be regarded as ingenious.

Although it was worth some money, the Wu family and the Zhao family did not spend so much effort, and even sacrificed their own people to get it. There must be something more precious about it.

Six men pulled six ropes, intending to fix the ropes to the rhinoceros and then use a crane to pull it to the surface.

It's just that as soon as they swam to the water-sheltering rhinoceros, I noticed that there were several dark shadows standing around the water-sheltering rhino.

Seeing them, those people also slowed down.

They are all elites sent by various families, and they are very experienced, and they are also careful.

They glanced at each other, both focusing their flashlight beams on the shadows.

I saw clearly that it was seven people. They were all dressed in white robes, which rose and fell with the waves.

Their feet seemed to have taken root, and they surrounded the rhinoceros from the water. Although the underwater undercurrent is fast, they are still as steady as Mount Tai.

Among them, there were three women. Four men, their hair like aquatic weeds, fluttering in the water.

Although they had been soaked in the water for a long time, their bodies were not swollen, their faces were frighteningly white, and their eyes were closed.

The men drew closer, and when they came to them, they remained motionless. It seems to have been dead for a long time.

The six men breathed a sigh of relief. Someone swam towards the top of the rhinoceros and tried to put the rope on the horns of the ox.

It's just that the rope has just touched the horns of the ox, and before it can be entangled, suddenly the mouth of the water-sheltering rhinoceros opens, and a mass of corpse worms swims out of its mouth.

Only then did I realize that the water-sheltering rhinoceros was the nest of corpse insects, and the man almost screamed.

It was because they knew that the corpse worms would not appear that they had the courage to go into the water. Now that I saw the corpse insects pouring out of the nest, of course I was scared half to death.

The leader beckoned desperately to the others, and then floated towards the surface of the water together.

Corpse worms swim extremely fast in the water and are very venomous, and once bitten, they will immediately lose their mobility.

The man who was close to the water-sheltering rhinoceros had just swam out a short distance when he was bitten by a corpse insect.

His body twitched a few times, and then it sank directly to the bottom of the water like a log.

Of course, the others did not dare to slack off, and they no longer cared about the ropes, and desperately floated towards the water.

At this moment, I suddenly noticed that the two female corpses guarding the water rhinoceros had moved!

Their eyes snapped open.

Their eyeballs were milky white as if they were dead.

Their arms stretched out at the same time, each grasping a man's foot and neck.

The two men struggled several times in a row, but they couldn't break free.

They turned, daggers in their hands, and stabbed at the floating corpses.

The dagger plunged into the body of the floating corpse, but the floating corpse did not react at all.

They opened their mouths violently, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and bit each other's necks directly.

Crimson blood gushed out, and the waters immediately turned red.

The blood was quickly washed away, and the vision became clear again.

The two men wanted to scream, but they forgot that they were in the water, and when they opened their mouths, a large mouthful of river water immediately poured into them.

Their bodies were firmly grasped by the floating corpses, who gulped their blood.

The remaining three people were crazy, paddling desperately to float. It's just a mass of corpse worms chasing after them.

The corpse worms are far faster than they are. But in the blink of an eye, two of them were surrounded by corpse worms.

Corpse worms scrambled to burrow into their bodies.

The bodies of the two men swelled and sank to the bottom.

In just a few minutes, five of the six people who came down lost their lives.

I watched in horror on the side, but luckily I was far away and the corpse insects didn't notice me.

The two floating corpses drank the blood of the two men before they let go of their hands. Let the two corpses drift downstream with the current,

The floating corpse still closed its eyes tightly as if nothing had happened.

The corpse worm controlled the three corpses and burrowed through the mouths of the water-sheltering rhinoceros. It turned out that the nest of the corpse worm was in the belly of the rhinoceros.

No one knows how many corpses are still inside. I didn't dare to approach it, but floated towards the water.

When I approached the side of the boat, I realized that the man in charge had already boarded the boat.

He was slumped on the boat with his back facing the sky, and Wu Qingyun and Zhao Wei were standing beside him with calm faces.

Wu Qingyun asked, "Old Chen, what happened?" Why are you the only ones who came up alive? ”

Lao Chen took a breath for a while before he stabilized his mind and told them what had happened.

Wu Qingyun asked He Baosheng puzzled, "Didn't you say that as long as there are seven people at a time, you can feed those corpse insects?" How could so many people still die? ”

In fact, they don't know that I have already rescued Wu Meng and the others.

He Baosheng said with a bitter face, "I don't know very well, maybe the number of corpse insects has increased during this time, so there are more people who need it." ”

Wu Qingze deliberately took this opportunity to get rid of the people who opposed them in the town. Including the captain of the guard who came last time, and me this time.

Wu Qingyun asked Zhao Wei with a cold face, "Aren't you able to control corpse insects?" Why didn't it work? ”

Zhao Wei shook his head and said, "Corpse insects are very weird. I just caught a few dozen and tamed them. As for the other corpse worms, I don't know how to control them. ”

It turned out that the corpse insects that attacked me, Wu Meng and the others that day were all specially trained by Zhao Wei.

"Are we just going to waste it like this, and there's nothing we can do?" Looking at the turbulent river, Wu Qingyun asked.

Zhao Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I have a good solution." I don't believe in the appetite of corpse worms. We threw more people down until we fed them. ”

Underwater, the most unavoidable thing is the corpse worm. If you want to get the water-repellent rhino, you have to deal with the corpse worms first.

This is also a way to do it.

Wu Qingyun looked at his subordinates, they were all his cronies, and of course he was reluctant to throw them into the water to feed the corpse worms.

He said to Zhao Wei, "Because of this incident, enough people have died in our Wu family. As for the rest of the manpower, it's up to you. ”

Hearing his words, Zhao Wei's subordinates all took a few steps back. No one wants to be thrown alive into the water to feed the corpse worms.

Of course, Zhao Wei didn't agree, none of them wanted their subordinates to make sacrifices.

Wu Kai looked at He Baosheng and the dozen or so villagers he had brought with him. Said lightly, "I have a good idea." ”

In fact, seeing his eyes, He Baosheng already understood what he meant.

His face turned pale, his head shook like a rattle, and he said, "No matter what, I will not let the villagers lose their lives because of this." ”

Zhao Wei snorted coldly and said, "Lao He, we promise you that we will give you a very good remuneration after the deed, which is enough for you to live the second half of your life very nourishingly." But you've got to make some sacrifices, right? ”

Zhao Wei and Wu Qingyun were on one side, sandwiching He Baosheng in the middle.

He Baosheng knows the current situation very well, Zhao Wei is ruthless, if he doesn't agree, then he must be the first to be thrown into the water to feed the corpse insects!
