Chapter 72: Going into the Water
It turns out that the bats here are blood-sucking. If someone bleeds here, a large number of bats will be attracted here.
This was also one of the things my cousin had considered before.
No wonder he was unwilling to run over from the pile of children, so this is the reason.
In this situation, I have to admit that I was too young and hot-tempered.
That was because of my anxiety, which forced the watch to run out from the pile of bugs, and that put us in trouble.
After I scattered a handful of black glutinous rice into the pile of bats, I quickly took out the peach wood sword from my treasure bag.
Fortunately, my writing was corrected by my grandmother before it was written, so all the dirty things are particularly afraid of my blood.
So I can cut my hand with the peach wood sword and open a pale yellow barrier in the shortest time possible.
That barrier is actually a defensive formation that can protect my cousin and I from being attacked by bats for a short period of time.
But my abilities are limited, and the defensive formation I open will also have a time limit depending on the depth of my cultivation.
The next intersection is right in front of us, and this defensive formation can just last until we leave here.
This is a good thing for us.
At least it can give me enough time to enter the next game.
We can't waste any more time in any game.
We must find something to break this nine-ring conspiracy as soon as possible, and this thing is getting closer and closer.
"Go!"
After my cousin got rid of a few bats on his back, he turned and opened the door to the next inning.
He pulled me from behind and ran to the next bureau.
None of us had thought that the next game would be a sea game.
As soon as I stepped through the door, I fell rapidly.
The moment I fell, my mind went blank.
I had no idea if there was a cliff below or something else.
The fear of the unknown became stronger and stronger. My entire back began to feel cold and sweat appeared on my forehead.
Suddenly, in my mind, the past flashed by frame by frame like a kaleidoscope.
Just when I didn't know what to do, I fell into the cold water.
thump.
My cousin also went into the water with me.
We didn't know how deep the water was, so in order to survive, I could only keep swimming upstream.
My mind was full of thoughts about how to get fresh oxygen, so even though something was pulling at my feet, I could only kick them away with all my strength.
In less than ten seconds, I had swum to the surface.
And my cousin was next to me.
With fresh air entering my lungs, I felt like I had a second life again.
But less than ten seconds later, my foot was grabbed by something, and I had no time to react and kick it off, and I was pulled down by him.
In the water, I opened my eyes and looked at my feet.
All I saw was a claw grabbing my ankle, and his hand was completely hairy.
A flash of white light flashed through my mind. If my inference was correct, this should be the legendary water monkey.
I tried to struggle, but I couldn't control myself and drank a few gulps of water.
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my lungs and I knew it was because water had entered my lungs.
Oh no!
What should I do? !
I didn't know how deep the water was, I just knew that I was being pulled down.
Just when I was about to pass out from lack of oxygen, I saw something .
It was a red light, particularly conspicuous in the dark water.
At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled it up.
I knew it must be my cousin, he wanted to save me.
But I have many questions in my mind about what is in the water.
Could it be the object that can end this nine-ring formation, or is it some mechanism that can allow us to leave here?
I used to live in the village. The air there was good, the place was big, and we kids would often run and jump around, so my lung capacity is particularly good.
I did wild swimming a lot when I was a kid.
I knew that I still had half of the air in my lungs at this time. Since I had been pulled to the vicinity of the red light spot, I had to get that thing up.
So I reached out and pushed away the hand that was pulling me up, then relaxed my body, and followed the force that was pulling me down to the red glowing spot.
The closer I got to the red light, the more excited I became.
At this time, my heart rate was extremely fast. On the one hand, it was because my oxygen was getting less and less, and I was a little nervous.
On the other hand, I saw the red light and felt a little excited.
After getting closer to the light, I stretched out my foot and kicked away the claw that was pulling my ankle.
After getting the light, I swam upstream quickly.
But because I was running out of oxygen, my head started to feel dizzy.
At this time, my cousin's hand reached out to me again, and I went to the surface of the water as if helped by God.
He grabbed me and brought me to the shore, where we both gasped for breath.
My cousin was still shirtless at this time, and there were several fish biting his back.
I don’t know how long it took, but my cousin’s eyes became serious and his tone was a little fierce.
"What are you doing? Don't you know how to write the word death? You can't mess with that filthy thing down there. It's a water monkey that's designed to drag people down with it!"
I looked at my cousin's angry face and suddenly found it funny.
When I heard him say it was a water monkey, I became even happier.
Yes, my guess was correct, and what I have been learning are usually of no use.
And this time, all of them can be used.
"Are you still laughing? Do you know that you almost died just now?" said my cousin, about to slap me.
But then he took back his hand that was raised in the air.
Even though he is my elder, it doesn't mean he can hit me.
He still has some sense of propriety in this regard.
I was laughing and suddenly I couldn't breathe and started coughing violently.
It wasn't until I coughed up blood that I felt the breath in my chest was much more comfortable.
My cousin still felt sorry for me when he looked at me.
He wanted to help me get the pills from my treasure bag, but everything was wet. If we encounter any evil spirit later, we may not be able to use these things to perform rituals.
But I was not afraid. I took out a red glass bead from my arms.
It lay in my hand, glowing dimly.
When my cousin saw it, his eyes widened.
