Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drowning

At this point underwater, we couldn't speak, and the strong suction and fast current made us have to keep our eyes half-open. At this moment, although the corpse fairy was firmly nailed to the spot, we only had a maximum of about two minutes to hold our breath, and then we had to rise to the surface to breathe. In this way, the consumption of the body will be extremely large, and it is estimated that we will be exhausted in a few trips, and then it will be called every day, and the earth will not work. Therefore, hiding with the corpse fairy is only an expedient measure, and we must get rid of this water as soon as possible.

At this moment, I suddenly saw something black in the depths of the water, and it rolled past us not far from us, like some big fish. There was chaos underwater, and Tofu hugged the corpse fairy and hit me on the shoulder with his head, urging me to find a way out of danger.

If I can speak at this time, I will definitely have to scold him for being bloody, damn it, when I am a brother Hugh, can I figure out a way in any situation? I was anxious, but I understood that the more urgent the situation, the more I couldn't rush, so I forced myself to calm down. I tried to gesture to the corpse fairy and motioned for it to turn around and walk back, hoping that it would understand, but it was clear that I was overestimating its IQ because the corpse fairy still didn't move.

After thinking about it, only when Tofu turned around and walked back, it was possible to drive the corpse fairy, and a notice suddenly popped up in my mind, signaling everyone to change positions, slowly moving along the corpse fairy, and replacing the position of Tofu with the back of the corpse fairy......

Tofu hugged the corpse fairy from behind, because there was a corpse fairy blocking, so the tofu would not be washed away, and then began to retreat with his feet, the corpse fairy really moved, and took the three of us to start retrograde, although the posture at this time is strange, a bit like tofu dancing with the corpse fairy, Ouyang Xuan and I are like two koalas, one left and one right hanging on the corpse fairy. But life matters, who cares about this.

And as the corpse fairy moved, those things that were sucked along the water flow under the water were also seen more clearly, and it was only then that I was surprised to find that those things that looked like big fish were human corpses!

How could there be so many corpses in the water?

Wrong!

I took a closer look, these corpses were the same as the costumes of the zongzi who committed suicide before, it was obvious that they were ancient corpses, but those zongzi were obviously soft zongzi, how could they appear under the water now?

Two words popped up in my mind: water ghost.

Tofu was so frightened that his face turned white. At this time, Ouyang Xuan seemed to be unable to hold her breath, and in desperation, the three of us had to float to the surface of the water along the rope to breathe. The three of us dragged the rope and floated on the water, Ouyang Xuan was panting desperately, unable to say a word. Tofu smacked a few times, and stammered: "Water, ...... in the water"

I said, "Don't say it, the devil knows what it is." "If it is hard zongzi, where do these zongzi come from? If it is soft zongzi, then the situation is terrible, indicating that they are eyeing the three of us. Thinking about it again, I even suspect that the water drifter that Ouyang Xuan found before, Bacheng was a bait, and these ghost things deliberately lured us over.

Tofu looked at me, swallowed his saliva, and said, "If it's a water ghost, then we can't get into the water?" ”

I gritted my teeth and said, "If you don't go down, it's a dead end, go down!" At this time, Zhong Gong and others, who were in the safety zone, signaled with searchlights and asked us about the situation. I sent a warning signal to the situation, and told them not to come. Immediately after, he nodded to Tofu and motioned to go into the water. The three of them continued to follow the original plan, and the corpse fairy was manipulated by Tofu to retreat, and those things under the water were still there, but they were not dangerous, and they did not approach us.

Suddenly, just as I felt the water gradually stabilize and was about to leave the water, all of a sudden, the corpse fairy suddenly stopped, and then, as if I had discovered something, I suddenly ran rapidly in the water.

You know, on weekdays, it is moving slowly around the tofu, but this is a corpse fairy, really running, the medium speed is simply terrifying, coupled with the resistance of the water flow, in an instant, I almost got rid of the corpse fairy, under the rapid running underwater, the resistance of the water became very large, I couldn't open my eyes at all, and there was only one thought in my mind: Damn, what is this crazy? Under normal circumstances, corpse fairies will only take the initiative when they see 'food'.

Could it be that there are some tempting thousand-year-old rice dumplings under this water?

I couldn't open my eyes at all, and the strength of my whole body was concentrated on my arms, holding the corpse fairy tightly, just afraid that if I slackened a little, I would be swept away by the current, and I had no way of knowing what happened to the two tofu.

Then, the next moment, I suddenly felt myself start to sink, it stands to reason that we are already under the water at this time, but I don't know where the corpse fairy took us, I actually felt the sinking again, my eardrum can almost feel the pressure of the water, some pain, at the same time, the air in my lungs is also depleted, and finally I start to choke. People who have not really been deprived of oxygen and drowned cannot pay attention to this pain, and it will make people want to die instantly.

A thought came to me in my heart: no, we can't let the corpse fairy take us away anymore, we will die. It's a pity that I have no choice now, due to the lack of oxygen, my whole person can hardly catch the corpse fairy, and even if I let go at this time, I don't have the strength to resist the suction of the water flow. What followed was a series of drowning tables, and in the midst of pain, I tried to open my eyes to see the condition of the tofu, and at the last glance, I only saw the clothes of the tofu bulging in the water, and the rest, I could no longer see it.

I couldn't be in a deep coma in the case of drowning, I was in a constant state of pain, my brain couldn't think, I just remembered that I was sinking all the time, and then my brain was empty.

When I regained consciousness, I felt that my stomach was very swollen and nauseous, and the water in my mouth kept spitting out, and my swollen and painful brain took a long time to react, and at first glance I saw Tofu's face, and he was giving me artificial respiration...... Don't get me wrong, it's not the mouth, it's the thoracoabdominal compression.

Seeing that I woke up, Tofu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're not stupid, are you?" Can you speak? ”

Due to the lack of oxygen in the brain for a long time, it is good that I have not become a vegetative person, and then I just thought, the only feeling is nausea, keep spitting water, and then there is a terrible headache, although I can understand the words of tofu, but I can't say it for a while, so I blinked and signaled that I understood.

Tofu exhaled slowly, waved his hand, pointed to the place where we are now, and said, "When I woke up, it was here, it was connected to the underground water inlet, and the wood and Xuanxuan were gone." "I looked at the place, it was very far from the sand, deep into the ground, surrounded by red and black rocks, and although I was lying on the ground, I could hear the sound of the water in my ears, so I guess that the place I am talking about now must be a hollow washed out of the groundwater.

It took about 20 minutes for the strength that had disappeared in my body to recover, and in those 20 minutes, I also listened to Tofu talk about what happened next.

According to the analysis of the previous situation, Ouyang Xuan was likely to lose his strength when the corpse immortal suddenly changed his route and accelerated, so he disappeared. She was a girl after all, and the corpse fairy suddenly accelerated at that time, and the underwater impact was so great that I almost got rid of it at the time, let alone her.

And Tofu and I will come to this place now, maybe we were brought in by the water, or maybe we were brought in by the corpse fairy, it's not clear, and the corpse fairy himself has no clue where he went.

The whereabouts of the corpse fairy are unknown, Ouyang Xuan's life and death are uncertain, in short, now there is only me and Tofu left in this place.

In the process of Tofu's narration, there is one thing that I don't understand, that is, when it comes to lung capacity and diving ability, I am definitely better than Tofu, why I have drowned, but Tofu seems to be safe and sound, and even woke up before me?

According to Tofu, he himself also drowned and fainted at the time, but when he woke up, there was no sequelae of drowning, what happened?

Looking at my skeptical gaze, Tofu also scratched his head and said, "I don't know what's going on, maybe it's because of my good character?" That's why I said, be a man and do more good deeds, and when you meet a fallen grandmother in the future, don't step on the gas pedal again. ”

Looking at him like that, I probably couldn't ask, so I shook my head, sat up with my hands, and looked at my surroundings. It was a hole that had been clearly washed out over thousands of years, and we were at the entrance to the cavity, with a hole the size of a well, filled with water, and a black hole behind it.

Tofu followed my line of sight and said, "As soon as I woke up, I was busy saving you, I didn't look behind, this hole looks quite deep, I don't like to drill holes, experience tells us, drilling holes is not good." Let's take a break and go back down this waterway. ”

I turned off the one on the tofu head to let him save power, and then said, "Xiaodou, do you still want the corpse fairy?" ”

Tofu was a little confused when he heard this, so he asked, "What do you mean?" Is wood something I can do without if I don't want it? ”

I pointed to the darkness ahead and said, "If you want it, you'll have to drill a hole, and that thing belongs to it, right?" Tofu squinted and ran over to pick up a packet of soaked gum that had fallen not far away.

Tofu generally uses the corpse fairy as a mobile package on weekdays, anyway, the corpse fairy will not be tired, along the way, Tofu's equipment is carried on the corpse fairy, I actually want to be lazy, but I have no sense of security, I am naturally very vigilant, worried that it will be too late to take the equipment in case of emergency, so I carry it myself.

Even the clothes I bought for the corpse fairy came with a lot of pockets, which contained small changes, chewing gum, compasses and other gadgets, of course, including beef jerky with tofu, chocolate, and so on. This wet packet of chewing gum looked like it was left by the corpse fairy, and eighty percent of it leaked out of his pocket.
