Chapter 8: Night Chase

The bald man and I chased in one direction in the darkness as if we were dying, and the giant trees twisted and twisted in the direction that was originally straight, but fortunately my mission was simpler: "keep an eye on the bald man's head", and it was his business to judge the direction;

The sound of the water that I had heard before was getting louder and louder, and when we climbed up a mound around the dense forest, our bodies suddenly became lighter, and our whole body leaned downward, and the bald man grabbed me in time, and I only heard the sound of "poof" and "poof" before and after the sound of falling water;

This is a waterhole, and the momentum of the water slapping against the mud bank is obviously living water;

The waterhole was surrounded by mounds on all sides, and behind the mounds there was still a dense forest, and the moonlight was so bright and the trees were so still, that I realized that it seemed that we had not seen the moon for a long time.

"What about them," I asked the bald man, panting;

"The man in front jumped into the water, followed by one, I don't know if it's a tiger or a hook";

The bald man is also panting, and he is panting no less than mine;

At this moment, Huya's head floated up from the water, and her posture seemed to be very strange, as if she was dragging some heavy object;

"Old Tan Xianling, it can be regarded as caught", I muttered to myself, and rushed down the small hill with the bald man to stand one by one, waiting for the "prey" in the hands of the tiger girl, as long as the guy showed his head, we would hold it down with one arm and one arm, and we must not let it run again;

But the bald man and I dragged the tiger ashore with great difficulty, and stared at the water as calm as ever, and no creature climbed up, not even a toad!

My heart sank into my bladder, "Could it be that this master can't swim?" Drowned? I winked at the bald man;

"Why aren't you going?" , the bald man asked rhetorically;

"Lao Tzu choked when he washed his face! What so much nonsense you have! I said angrily;

A huge bubble rolled out in the center of the pool, and the bald man tossed in the water for nearly a minute before poking his head out again, and it took him several times as long to swim back to shore.

I looked at the bald man whose face was already swollen: "There is a water ghost in the water that has entangled you?" ”;

"This water ......", he only said one word, and then immediately stopped speaking, and devoted all his "energy" to the difficult matter of "breathing";

"Water?" , I recalled the strange appearance of the tiger girl when I came ashore just now, turned around and touched the water, the smooth water lines did not change, and the calm water surface was rippled by my fingers;

"Don't look at it, there's a big hole under the water, I don't know where it leads, you can't see anything when you stand here, but as long as you get in, your body will be sucked into the big hole, and I almost couldn't climb out just now", Huya said as if she had just gasped for breath;

"And you're still going to watch him jump into the water?";

As soon as I heard that the situation was so serious, I looked at Huya with a displeased face, which was clearly sending my teammates to death;

"You should have died a long time ago!" , the tiger girl gave me a blank look, turned her head and lay on the muddy shore and said to the moonlight;

I was about to say a few more words to her, but I saw the bald man shake his hand at me, and he did not speak, still panting, as if he had just been exhausted from the struggle with the underwater sucking hole;

"It's just that... Just a little bit, Lao Tzu... I won't be able to see you", he rolled over, his breath still not evenly adjusted;

"Where does that hole lead to?" , I stared at the water with good eyes, for fear that if I was not careful, I would crawl out of the water like a loach;

"I don't know, but there must be other pools here, and they are all open, this person knows this place better than us, and it can't drown!" , Huya slowed down for a long time, and was the first to stand up.

"Where's the hook?" , suddenly felt that something was wrong, patronizing chasing people and fishing people, but there was one less person here;

"Isn't it with you?" , Hu Ya looked around and said in surprise;

"Damn, I always make mistakes where I shouldn't be!";

I cursed and immediately climbed up to the mound on the other side, and when I climbed up, I found that there was indeed a waterhole on the other side of the mound, almost exactly the same as the one just now, and the mud bank on the edge of the waterhole was sparsely covered with a few footprints, and I kept looking at the dense forest next to it until it disappeared;

I took the dagger in my hand, and chased it down with bated breath in the direction of the footprints, and only twenty paces later, when I heard a man not far in front of me, also panting, and moving as he pheeded, and the dense giant forest once again obscured the moonlight, and my eyes fell into darkness in an instant;

I hesitated in my heart, and I was a little scared, not to mention whether that person would be a threat to me, just that I plunged into this dense forest by myself, whether I could get out alive without getting lost was a question, at this moment, the sound of the tiger girl scolding the bald man as a "waste" came from behind, which suddenly made me feel a lot more at ease;

Both of them are masters of tracing and tracing me, and when they skimmed by my side lightly, Huya did not even forget to take my dagger, and in an instant the two of them disappeared into the night, and as their figures disappeared, there was a sparse and sparse sound from a group of low bushes not far away, but I could no longer make out the direction of the sound;

There was another scream, which was still very thin, and then the noisier sound of the bushes being broken;

The man was like a living loach in this dense forest, and the tiger and the bald man walked around the forest like a dog, and I stared at the bald man's bare head and chased him all the way down until my head hit a low branch, and my neck was strangled so hard that I couldn't speak for a moment, and the Venus in front of me was soaring;

I squatted and gasped for a long time, muttering in my heart, "No matter how special you chase like this, I have to braided my hair before I catch up with someone!" I even felt that my lungs were about to be vomited out, and when I looked up at the dense canopy of trees overhead, my heart was about to suffer, the canopy of the giant trees was densely packed together, like a curtain covering the entire sky tightly, I had completely lost my sense of direction, and suddenly a fire rushed up in my heart;

"Don't chase it, if you chase us again, we'll all die here!" , I shouted in a roughly unilateral direction, and then shouted again;

A few words of yelling, but in exchange for the low bushes, the clattering of the branches, the scraping and the chaotic wheezing, and the sound was getting closer and closer to me, as if the bald man and the tiger aunt were chasing the unknown creature that looked like a human and ran back to my place!

I stood up with a flutter, threw off my legs, and chased after the sound again, but as soon as I took two steps, the sound suddenly disappeared inexplicably in the darkness, and when I tried to crouch down again, the sound of low bushes, horizontal branches, and wheezing sounded again;

I said in my heart, "This is so evil, you guys have discussed it and rectified me, right?" Then he looked for the sound and chased forward;

That's it! Suddenly, a stranger's voice came from behind me: "Help me! ”
