The white-haired mandrill led us here. Naturally, there is no road ahead.

I looked at Leng Yue, who was squatting by the river and looking at the river in a daze, and asked, "Where do you let it take us?" ”

"Find someone." Leng Yue said without looking back.

I was stunned. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at the river. Immediately frowned. A hint of foreboding rose in my heart.

Because I never thought they would fall into the river. So we didn't have the equipment to do it.

Zhang Yi said: "It's okay. I'm good at water. I'll go down and look for it. Tie a cord around my loins. When he found out that the situation was wrong, he dragged me up. ”

Leng Yue slowly got up. Pick up a stone from the ground. Hit the water with all your might.

I thought he was doing it casually. But what I didn't expect is. When the high-speed rotating stone bounces in the middle of the river. Suddenly, something flew out of the river at a rapid pace. Grab at the stone.

Maybe it's because the speed of the stone is too fast. The thing didn't grasp the stone. But the sound of the water breaking was too loud. We all heard it.

Shen Dali exclaimed: "Fifth brother." Didn't hear me. There seems to be something in the water. ”

I nodded. said to Zhang Yi: "Don't go down yet." Then I turned around and asked Leng Yue, "Do you know what's in the water?" ”

Leng Yue looked at the river. Nodding. Say, "Water ghosts." ”

The word water ghost. I'm no stranger. But only heard. I've never actually seen it yet.

Legend. People who drowned in the water. Resentment cannot be dissipated. Gather in the water. He became a water ghost.

Water ghosts exist only in ideology. There is no entity. However, it is rumored that water spirits will drag people who enter its realm to the bottom of the lake and drown.

Again, that's the same sentence. I received a materialist education. I don't believe in the existence of water ghosts. Therefore. I doubt it. There must be some special creature in the water.

I walked cautiously to the river. Use a flashlight to shine in the river. But the river was not clear enough. I can't see what's inside.

If it weren't for the waves that surged back and forth on the shore, they would still be pouring out what had just happened. I really suspect that the scene was just a delusion on our part.

I move the beam of the flashlight. Move towards the middle of the river.

Suddenly. Something burst out of the water. It seems to want to catch the spots of light that I shine on the surface of the river. Blazing fast.

This time. All of us can see clearly.

It was a gray-black hand. The arms are thin. It's like some kind of aquatic weed. And the attached palm is very large. That hand has only four fingers. Webbed. It doesn't look like a human hand.

Zhang Yi wiped his sweat. Some frightened said: "Fortunately, I found it in time." Otherwise, I guess I'll have to explain it here. If those people really fell into this river. I'm afraid with the equipment we are currently carrying. There's no way to get them out. ”

Leng Yue dragged the white-haired mandrill in front of her. Squat down slowly. looked at the mandrill's trembling facial features. asked in a flat tone: "How many are there." ”

Shen Dali said: "Can that thing understand human speech?" ”

Leng Yue was unreasonable, and Shen Dali. Raise your index finger and point at the river. Then make a gesture of "one".

The white-haired mandrill shook his head. It seems that he really understands Leng Yue's words. We were all amazed.

Leng Yue held up another finger. Compare the "two". The white-haired mandrill continued to shake its head.

After a short inquiry. Leng Yue inquired through the white-haired mandrill. A total of four people drowned in the river.

Leng Yue raised her hand and patted the white-haired mandrill's head. Every time. The white-haired mandrill is a trembling. When the cold moon hit the fifth time. The white-haired mandrill actually wailed. Pee out. The riot is smoky.

"That's good." Leng Yue said. Untied the climbing rope. Let the white-haired mandrill go.

The white-haired mandrill didn't seem to expect Cold Moon to let it go. After running a certain distance in a hurry. He ran back again. Raise your hand and point to the river. Chong Lengyue shook his head. It seems to warn Cold Moon not to enter the river.

Leng Yue nodded. He raised his chin at the white-haired mandrill. Signal it to hurry up.

Shen Dali exclaimed: "This thing can really understand people's words." Then how can it not hate you for knocking its teeth out. ”

The white-haired mandrill turned its head and roared vigorously at Shen. Then he raised his hand to say goodbye to Leng Yue. Turn around and run. After a while, it disappeared into the night.

I thought it would be very difficult for us to find someone this time. I didn't expect a breakthrough to happen so soon.

I said to Zhang Yi, "So be it. Let's leave a mark around here. Go back first. Tomorrow bring in the rescue team. They have equipment over there. If people are really at the bottom of the river. It certainly can't be alive. We don't have to take such risks. ”

Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment. He sighed helplessly. Say: "The white-haired man sends the black-haired man." Professor Chen must not die of distress. Alas. That's all there is to it. Feed. Where are you going. ”

I heard Zhang Yi suddenly ask. Hurriedly turned his head to look. found that Leng Yue was silently walking into the distance.

"Why are you going?" I asked aloud.

Leng Yue waved her hand without looking back. A flash. Disappeared behind a pinnacle.

I smiled helplessly: "Forget it." That's what he is. Let's do what we just said. Go back first. Tomorrow the people from the rescue team will come in during the day. ”

Present. We started walking back.

Because we all made marks on the way when we came. To prevent those mischievous white-haired mandrills from making trouble. Zhang Yi dismantled his Parker pen. Use black ink instead.

Two hours. We walked out of the Ghost Realm Stone Forest Zone. Return to the camp where the rescue team was stationed. Tell everyone what we have found.

Professor Chan heard the news. I was shaking all over. The whites of the eyes rolled. Passed out.

A group of people surrounded and pressed their chests again. It's pinching again. Artificial respiration again. It took a lot of effort. Finally, Professor Chen was rescued.

Professor Chan woke up. Two lines of cloudy tears wet his chest. Get rid of the support of those around you. Trembling to his feet. His voice trembled slightly, and he said, "It's okay." At least let me take him home. ”

This is a strong and brave old man. He is a scholar worthy of respect. May the departed rest in peace.

The crowd wept. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive all night.

When the sky is just dawning. The rescue team left a handful of people to stay here. The rest carry the corresponding equipment. Enter the Ghost Realm Stone Forest with us.

Those damn white-haired mandrills really want to destroy our mark. Fortunately, Zhang Yi sacrificed a Parker pen last night. Otherwise we will definitely get lost today.

Except for the three of us who were here last night. The rest of the people were entering the interior of the Ghost Domain Stone Forest for the first time. I don't feel like I can find my way. I also feel fear. The atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.

Got to the river. I tried to make a splash. I didn't see the strange hand reach out again. But I still feel uneasy.

After alerting the rescue team to threats like water ghosts. We retreated to the back. Watch a bunch of people hustle and bustle there.
