This time I walked very carefully, when I walked to the position where I fell into the water hole before, I stretched out my foot to probe the reality in front of me, here is about two or three meters away from Qin Bukong, if I jump, even if it is full of water underneath, I am sure to get close to Qin Bukong's side. So I stood there and waited for the splash to come up, and when the splash cleared, it was the perfect moment for me to jump out.

Soon, the strange sound from under the water appeared again with the churning splash, and the waves formed ripples, washing towards Qin Bukong's side and me. I calculated the time, and when the waves on the surface of the water disappeared, I jumped in the direction of Qin Bukong at once.

Sure enough, as I expected, the moment I entered the water, I still couldn't step on the soles of my feet, but this time, because I had been prepared, I quickly fluttered and swam up, and the place where Qin Bukong was a raised stone, so I quickly climbed on the stone, but when I climbed up with my hands, I suddenly felt cold, and then I realized that something was wrong.

Because the hand that originally held the stone, the touch should be stone-hard, but when I pressed it, it was a little soft, and this soft feeling was not even the feeling of moss or algae, it felt more like the belly of a fish, without scales, the feeling of being smooth but a little greasy. This means that the big black stone that Qin Bukong is leaning against at the moment is actually not a stone at all, but something else, this almost fleshy feeling makes me instantly recall the description of "Dragon" in the ancient book, aquatic power, strange shape, but actually a ghost. Could it be that the strange human head that I eliminated so easily just now was not at all what I imagined, not the big ghost guarding the gate of the "Dragon", but the black and huge stone-like guy in front of me?

And at this moment, I was only one step away from Qin Bukong, but I didn't dare to step forward and pull him, because at this time, I saw clearly the mark on his forehead that I thought was blood at first, but in fact, it was not blood at all, but like a red-black slimy liquid, because I didn't find any wounds on Qin Bukong's head, and those blood-like liquids were still dripping on his head at the moment, and the source of the dripping was actually a thing hanging above Qin Bukong's head, which I thought was a "black stone" at first!

And what surprised me the most was that Qin Bukong's entire back and back of his head were completely and seamlessly attached to the black "big stone" at the moment, and there were many thin tentacles at the edges, each of which was squirming and crawling on Qin Bukong's skin, looking as if something extremely sticky was sticking to Qin Bukong, and was devouring him little by little, absorbing him.

If the scene in my uncle's teahouse when I was young made me subvert my worldview and accept the existence of ghosts, then at this moment, the black giant object behind Qin Bukong directly subverted my consistent perception of ghosts again. When we think about it, from the time we started to break through the Eight Gate Formation, the ghosts we encountered were no longer the "ghosts" formed after the death of those people in the traditional sense, they became strange and unheard of. I thought that the so-called ghost was a big deal like the kind of ghost from the heart that I encountered when I was in Jingmen or when I broke through the "ghost", but in the final analysis, I was able to recognize this as a ghost, but it was not like now, it became a huge guy who did not have a human form at all.

In a hurry, I suddenly remembered that the legend about the Sighing Dragon Well that Master Wu had told me about the Sighing Dragon Well was that after Lu Dongbin subdued the dragon in the middle of the river, he suppressed it in the mountain range and turned it into the dragon qi of this place. Could it be that this black behemoth, this "dragon" guarding the gate, turned out to be the dragon that was suppressed here back then?

I asked myself if I didn't dare to compare Lu Zu, plus a hundred me, it is estimated that I am by no means the opponent of the dragon, and although I have heard a lot of stories about dragons since I was a child, I have also thought about why the dragon is the only animal in the zodiac that cannot be found in the world today, we Chinese call ourselves the descendants of the dragon, but no one has ever patted their chests and said that they have seen dragons, so the image of the dragon has always been the same as the image that everyone knows, it is deeply present in the mind of every Chinese, is it that now I am standing on the body of a dragon, Or even to save Qin Bukong from the dragon's hands?

The thought popped into my head, only in the blink of an eye. I wanted to turn around and run away, but I really couldn't do such a thing without Qin Bukong here, especially when I clearly saw that his stomach was rising and falling regularly, indicating that he was still alive. So when I thought of this, I gritted my teeth and was ruthless, and quickly took out the rusty black iron scissors from my shoulder bag, and rushed to Qin Bukong's side with a stride, I stretched out my left hand and grabbed the clothes on his chest, and pulled him out hard, with this pulling action, the dense and wriggling black smoke-like tentacles connected to Qin Bukong's body were pulled up partially, as if they were full of elasticity, this feeling was still as if I was tearing a dog skin plaster, but at this moment Qin Bukong became that dog skin plaster.

In this process of pulling, I didn't seem to feel how tightly Qin Bukong was glued to these tentacles, except that I could clearly observe that those tentacles were made of black smoke, these small and constantly wriggling tentacles gave me a tingling sensation, just like the tentacles that came out of the head and neck of the person I killed before, but the ones on Qin Bukong's body were thinner and shorter, and at the same time more.

I saw that those tentacles were stretched as if they were being pulled when I pulled up Qin Bukong, so I didn't care about the sin of hurting the "real dragon", so I used the scissors in my hand to start cutting at those small tentacles like cutting meat, the strange thing is that even if the smoke is thick, it shouldn't have that kind of physical flesh, but I feel as if I am cutting a tight rubber band, but when I cut almost two or three, my feet trembled violently, which was actually the result I had expected a long time ago, It's just that I didn't expect it to vibrate.

Taking advantage of the fact that this reaction was just beginning, I immediately pulled up Qin Bukong's hand with both hands, and then pulled it hard, with a roar, Qin Bukong's "dog skin plaster" was completely torn off by me, I put Qin Bukong's hand on my shoulder, turned my head and shouted loudly to the pine nuts, you come close to the water's edge, don't step on the air!

Songzi shook the flashlight and ran over, I tried to resist the vibration of the soles of my feet, kept my balance from falling, and began to drag Qin Bukong's body in the direction of Songzi. If I had known what I was going to deal with at the moment, maybe I wouldn't have been so scared and focused more on finding a way to fight, but now I don't even know what I'm about to face. It took a lot of effort to drag Qin Bukong to the water's edge, and Songzi stretched out his hand, which was probably more than a meter away from me. I couldn't throw a stupid big man like Qin Bukong like a sack, so I dragged him to the water's edge, and then pushed him into the water with a hard push.

I saw Qin Bukong's body quickly sink and then slowly floated up, maybe because of the sudden fall into the water, when he floated, he actually began to choke and cough, and his hand began to flutter a few times, seeing that he could move, I was not worried, so I said to Songzi Pull him ashore and I will jump over!

Since I had skipped it once when I came here, I know how far apart it is. After some calculation, I found that as long as I ran a little bit and jumped on the edge, I should be able to jump directly to the other side, and now that the danger is lurking, maybe my potential has been stimulated and adjusted further. When I thought of this, I took a few steps back, and was about to run, when suddenly there was a splash on the surface of the water, and I knew that I couldn't wait for the splash to disperse this time, otherwise I might not be able to escape, so I rushed towards the water's edge with all my strength under my feet. The soles of my feet were soft and fleshy, and they were not as easy to borrow as stones, so the moment I jumped, a tremendous force grabbed my feet, and I found that I could not even lift my feet into the air.

It was like stepping on asphalt that hadn't dried yet, and every time I lifted my foot, it was very difficult, and now it's even worse, and I can't lift my foot at all. Not only that, but my feet began to sink slowly, as if I were standing on a quicksand pit, and the more I moved, the faster I sank, and at this time, the strength of my feet suddenly changed, and I was facing the pine nuts, but now I was standing on a slowly rotating turntable, and began to twist my body in the direction of the "big black stone".

And when I saw this big black stone again, I actually found that the position where Qin Bukong was sitting before, in fact, behind the cover of him, there was a white person, the color and texture of his skin looked the same as the previous person's head, but this sitting person was not wearing clothes, his hands were crossed, and there was a stone box on his legs, which was the stone box we were looking for! Its hands were wrapped, and its whole body seemed to protect the stone box in its arms. The black tentacles-like things slowly emerged from its back, becoming longer and longer, and the black tentacles formed a strong contrast with the pure whiteness of its body.

And what surprised me the most was that the person sitting holding the box had no head.
