As soon as Wu Xie let go, I was exhausted and sat down directly on the edge of the stone. My whole body was trembling with the sudden acceleration of my heartbeat.I gasped, blinked my blurry eyes, took a deep breath, calmed myself down, and looked intently at the little brother who had swam out quickly in front of me.

Soon, he rushed near the man and saw him struggling to stand up from the water. It seemed that the water level there was not high, or there was something under his feet.

I took a deep breath and went down into the water in the dark. After a few steps, I felt that my feet were covered with slippery mud, and I also felt that water plants were wrapping around my feet. After a few steps, I lifted my feet to let myself float. , among the few people, only the fat man was holding a miner's lamp, so I followed the light and swam over.

After a while, Pan Zi, Wu Xie and Fatty climbed onto the platform that the little brother found.At this time, the distance between them and that person was only six or seven meters.
I followed them closely, tried to set foot, and found that the place should also be a large rock hidden under the water.

The fat man had just stood still and hadn't recovered yet when he heard movement behind him. When he turned around and saw it was me, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to give me a hand and said, "Girl, come up quickly."

After I stood still, I looked forward through the still swaying light, but I couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of me. I only knew that my brother had already rushed to the front eagerly.

I knew he was anxious, but he was too anxious. He was really rushing forward desperately, which made me feel like he was a little panicked.

I had already made up my mind to follow him. My water skills were a bit poor, but catching up with him was not a problem. It would be slower to hold on, and I had already put on a protective shield before I came in. I could be as free as a small fish in the water. action.It's just that my current condition is very bad. It's unknown how long I will stay in the quagmire. If I faint halfway through swimming, I'll have to stop...

In short, you must keep up, and you must not lose track.So I decided to connect a hollow psychic rope between me and him as a traction rope. This psychic rope was completely made using my induction of him and my spiritual power. This method cannot be used with others. .

With it, we are separated by a short distance like this, and I can follow the rope to find him.

And when the situation is critical, I can teleport myself into the hollow virtual space of the spiritual power rope. When I can't move on my own, having this thing is like turning on automatic pathfinding, and it will continue to help me find the way. I won't get lost, and I can hide in it temporarily to ensure my safety, which is very suitable for me now.

I looked at the little brother not far away, and towards his direction, I raised my hand and waved my fingers to pull out the rope. I stabilized my emotions and calmed myself down quickly. I kept an eye on the situation ahead and prepared. Play it by ear.

I looked over there carefully and saw the man swimming very fast, flopping a few times, and then fled towards the darkness behind the swamp.

At the same time, the little brother rushed forward and reached out to pull the person. At that time, they were only one hand apart, and the little brother could almost touch him. However, he was still so slow. Shoot, the man suddenly turned around and shrank into the water, fled towards the depths of the swamp on one side, and soon disappeared.

Now they were all anxious and started shouting.

When the little brother saw that his grasp was in vain, he immediately jumped into the water without thinking, and jumped into the water with a "plop". When the man swam past, the water ripples that had not calmed down caught him. The past was suddenly submerged in darkness.

As soon as I saw it was time, I took a deep breath and rushed out, dived directly into the water, and followed the spiritual rope connecting us.

At the same time, Wu Xie was also anxious, thinking "How can this work?" and wanted to follow him, but he was grabbed by Pan Zi in front of him. Pan Zi immediately said to him: "Oh, mistress , don't be impulsive." As a result, Wu Xie fell into the water because of the uneven heights at the bottom. He drank several mouthfuls of water, stood up in a hurry, choked a few times, and planned to chase after him.

Pan Zi hurriedly said: "Stop chasing, we can't catch up. Young Master, are you okay?"

Wu Xie stood firm and looked at the dark swamp, waving his hand to indicate that it was okay.

The fat man felt strange and said, "Oh my god, why did he run away? Don't you recognize him? Are you scared by us?"

Wu Xie glanced at the fat man and said, "Look at her like that, who is scaring whom?"

Pan Zi asked: "Is that person really Wen Jin?"

Wu Xie calmed down, sighed and said: "My whole body is covered with mud. I can't even tell whether it's a boy or a girl. How can I recognize it? I don't know how this stuffy oil bottle can identify it. And just now From the moment we saw that person to the moment he screamed, his eyes almost caught up with his piercing eyes. Moreover, they were both too fast. We definitely couldn’t catch up. Now we can only hope that Meng Youping can catch her. ”

The fat man asked: "What should we do now? I didn't even take the miner's lamp. It's almost absolute darkness in the jungle. Will something happen if he chases after him like this? How about we go back and get the equipment to support him?"

Pan Zidao: "Probably not. That little brother is not us. I believe he has sense. Besides, it may not be helpful if we go in now. He may be needed to save us by then."

But Wu Xie felt that the way Menyou Ping rushed towards the man just now did not seem to be measured. He felt that since entering the rainforest, Menyou Ping seemed to have undergone some changes, but it was real. Can't tell what the difference is.

At this moment, the fat man said "Huh?" and said, "That's not right!"

Wu Xie asked: "What's wrong?"

The fat man said: "Where did the girl go? She was standing here just now."

Wu Xie's expression changed: "I guess I chased him..." He looked towards the swamp, but there was only endless darkness and silence.

The fat man said: "Then there can't be no movement at all, people will disappear. This girl is just a dumb girl. She has no other skills. I see that this missing skill is a true inheritance." Wu Xie frowned: "But She is still suffering from a high fever, and she just asked me to give... It's very dangerous if this goes on. If they run away later, Menyouping comes back, and the girl disappears, what... what will we do? "

The fat man smiled evilly and said, "What have you done to me?" He raised his eyebrows at him.

Wu Xie hesitated and said: "I...I just hit her on the head and knocked her unconscious. It was an accident. Let's talk about this later. Men You Ping and Xiao Xun chased into the swamp like that. It was really too much." It's chaos, these two people don't give anyone any peace of mind! I don't know if they can come out..."

The fat man said: "Okay, wait and see, that girl is also a measured person."

They waited there for a while, but they didn't see us come back. The fat man said "Hey~" and said, "It's finally dried out. This soak has soaked in water again, and I feel uncomfortable all over. Let's not wait in the water anymore." Go to the shore. There are snakes in the water here. Although snakes in the water are less likely to attack people, those snakes are too weird and it is still dangerous to stay here."

Wu Xie said with a sad face: "If you don't tell me, I really forgot about the snake, so let's go up first."

After landing on the shore, the fat man shook his chest and rubbed the mud off while looking at the snake prints around his backpack just now.

Wu Xie sat down, his heart and mind very confused.In addition to worrying about Menyou Ping and Xiaoxun, I was also wondering if that person was really Wen Jin?If so, why did she run?What is she afraid of?He couldn't help but say: "It's really unlucky to have so many things happen all at once before entering the swamp. I always feel that something big might happen this time."

The fat man comforted him: "Don't think so much. You're always scaring yourself. Seeing how restless you are, don't be so depressed."

Wu Xie sighed and thought to himself, this time, Menyou Ping has always been a little abnormal. When he is around him, he doesn't feel as stable as before, and he feels uneasy.

After Pan Zi finished handling the clothes, he said to Wu Xie: "Little Third Master, take off your clothes and bake them."

The three of them then increased the flames of the fuel cans and sat around, drying their clothes and worrying at the same time.

Wu Xie said: "If the flames are bigger, Menyouping and Xiaoxun can see our location when they come back."

The fat man said with a "hum": "It's just a small flame, like a soul-calling lamp. Don't attract any more lonely ghosts in the swamp."

Pan Zi opened his mouth and scolded: "You can't say anything good with that damn mouth!" The fat man smiled helplessly.

The fat man said: "Then what do you think this looks like?"

What Wu Xiejue's fat man said made sense. He smiled faintly and couldn't help but said: "Hey, it does look a bit like it. Let's turn on the miner's lamps and line them up on the rocks so that we can see more clearly." As he said that, Wu Xie took the He walked to An Ning's body with a miner's lamp and wanted to place it next to her head.But when I walked over and took a look, I suddenly realized something was wrong.When I looked at it again, my mind went "buzzing".

Suddenly shouted: "Aning's body is gone!" Only an empty sleeping bag was left in front of him.

In this pitch-black water, I couldn't see anything, so I had to hit a small moon. But after I saw it clearly, I started to get scared again, so I decided to swim with my head exposed.

I felt my brother's direction along the way, but they were so fast. They were only a few seconds behind, but they actually swam out so far.

I chased him all the way, but I couldn't see the figure, so I could only sense him with my heart and keep moving forward.

I don’t know how long it took, but I came to a shore. My brother didn’t move anymore. It seemed that they had stopped.

I landed on the shore and walked faster, regardless of whether there were any snakes, insects, rats, or ants around. I chased in the direction of the induction. After running for a while, I saw a little fire in the distance. I thought, could it be? Is it a bonfire?

But I stopped. With Chen Wenjin’s running style, if I passed by, she wouldn’t continue running...

But then I thought, she is afraid of "it" people, not me, she should know me... If she runs away again, I will... I thought, stretched out my fingers and shook them, and took a deep breath. , continue to run towards the fire.

After a while, I ran to the ground, but there was only a burning fire. I looked around, where were the people...

As soon as I stopped, an uncomfortable feeling rushed to my head. I bent over and gasped, becoming weaker and weaker.

At this time, I heard the rustling of the vegetation behind me. Is this someone?There are still snakes... I wanted to get up and turn around to look, but it was too late. I fell to the ground with a "gudeng".

One woman said, "Go over and have a look."

Then I heard footsteps, getting closer and closer to me. After a while, a man squatted down in front of me. He stretched out his hand to me and said to himself, everything in front of me looks so familiar... He said weakly : "Little... little brother..."
