"That's tenacity!"

"It will bless you in times of crisis!"

"As long as you wear it, you can do anything!"

“......”

“......”

Grandpa's words echoed in Tao Xiaozhi's head, he clenched his fists and suddenly opened his angry eyes!

The pool was cold and dark, and there were dark shadows all around, only the light was faintly visible from the far distance above, and it was obvious that he had fallen to a deep place in the cold pool.

His body was completely unresponsive to the fangs, twitching, twisting, stiffening, trembling, his nerves tugging, his muscles tugging, his bones twisting, his blood burning! He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and swung wildly, kicked his feet in the water, trying to regain control of his body. But when he got tired and stopped, the convulsions began to cloak him again.

If he can't control his body, he won't be able to climb out of this deep pool, and he will drown! He has been holding in the water for two or three minutes, and there is no air, how long can a human being live in the water? If he had been holding his breath in the water for so long, he would have fainted and lost consciousness, but the fangs were red, the blood was boiling, and the blood that had not been gushing up had flowed to his head and body again, so he was still conscious, and his consciousness was clearer than ever!

Suddenly, he crashed into a large rock that was concave out of the pool wall, but his injuries were not serious, because he had fallen deep into the water, and buoyancy and resistance helped him.

Tao Xiaozhi broke free from the convulsions with all his strength (a temporary struggle), quickly hugged the big rock, and then hit it with a fist and elbow, causing the skin to open and the flesh and blood vessels rupture, and the blood stained the cold pool (although it is not clear in the dark, this kind of appearance does exist)!

Has his head been burned out by fangs? Is he tired of life and wants to see his grandmother sooner? Why would he destroy himself?!

Unfortunately, he didn't have that kind of thought for the time being, and if he had, he had it twelve years ago. He thought like this: the fangs made his blood boil, and the boiling blood made him have a high fever and convulsions, and as long as this blood was lost, the control of the fangs would be weakened, and he could control his body!

As his wrist hit the flesh and blood, the blood vessels burst, and a lot of blood was lost, gradually, the convulsions of his hand eased in addition to the pain, and he moved almost freely, but the rest of the twitches remained the same. He paddled his arms and swam as hard as he could towards the shimmering water!

Holding his breath for a long time made him more and more uncomfortable, and his throat was like a tight iron bar or like ten hot sweet potatoes were stuffed into his throat at once! Tao Xiaozhi really wanted to fucking drink a few sips of water!

When he swam to a place seven or eight feet high from the surface of the pool, Tao Xiaozhi's arms began to twitch again, not because of the effect of the fangs (too much blood had been shed on his hands, and the fangs could hardly affect it), but because he was too tired. However, the pond was only seven or eight feet away from him, how could he give it up so cheaply?! He continued to paddle with all his might, but his consciousness began to blur......

The water began to pour into his mouth, and he kept blistering, and his eyes were slowly closing. But his limbs were still instinctively paddling and kicking. Finally, the dazzling orange stinged his eyes, and he burst out of the water, his hands outstretched and hooked on a rock on the shore, but he had already fainted.
