C186 (1/2)
”Ah, ah …” Just as they let out a sigh of relief, a miserable scream suddenly broke the silence of the night.
Even the birds in the distance were scared away by this pitiful scream.
An idea that Great Hero Yan had threatened appeared in Jing Jing's mind. She couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end, and looked towards the source of the sound in confusion …
The source of the sound came from the two people in front.
It was actually not the person walking in the marsh, but the person walking in the front.
Screaming, he suddenly sprinted towards the marsh.
However, after two steps, he was like an ice man, falling into the swamp. His mud feet were deep in the ground, and he couldn't get out. He couldn't move at all.
What was even weirder was that he was already covered in blood, and he was missing his right arm.
Fresh blood spurted out from the gap between his right arm and shoulder.
His right arm had been chopped off at the shoulder, and he had completely disappeared.
Everyone was astonished.
He looked to his right and saw that his right hand was stuck to the slippery stone wall. In the blink of an eye, it was covered by a group of gargantuan snakes, producing a terrifying sound of chewing.
Jing Jing felt goosebumps all over her body. She just couldn't understand how his arm broke just like that.
Although the person outside wasn't injured, he was still scared to the point that his face turned pale.
At that time, those with slightly inferior mental qualities might not be able to withstand it.
In a place like this, if you couldn't withstand it and ran forward, you would naturally fall into the swamps and lose your life.
”Ahaha …” ”Oh, haha, hehe …”
The man who fell into the swamp let out an incomprehensible laugh. The mud had already sunk into his chest. However, everyone just looked at him, thinking that they must not make the same mistake later on.
No one wanted to save him. This was a real world.
In a place like this, one shouldn't have even the slightest bit of sympathy …
When that person's wound was contaminated with mud, it was probably poisoned. After a burst of strange laughter, it suddenly quieted down.
He looked in the direction of the moon and muttered, ”You guys …” ”Finally, I can live without being threatened. So dying is so easy, so good …”
The last word of the man in the marsh was lost in the mud. It was hard to hear.
Who are you?
His family?
Or was it someone he was worried about?
Why did he feel a sense of relief when he died?
Just who was his lord? Was it that difficult for them to live?
An unprecedented feeling of fear assaulted her, causing Jingjing to feel even more uneasy and scared.
He only felt waves of cold wind blow by behind him. He recalled what Great Hero Yan had said, that this marsh was full of ghosts. It seemed that it was indeed true …
The remaining person carefully made his way through the remaining half of the journey.
It was as if he was afraid that if even the slightest mistake, he would lose his life.
He walked slowly and carefully, not daring to lift anything with his hands.
Relying only on his experience and meticulousness, he slowly walked forward.
Originally, he could have walked for a quarter of an hour. But now, he had walked for an hour.
Fortunately, he was able to safely walk over.
Even from so far away, Jingjing could clearly feel the relaxed smile on his face.
As if infected by this expression, Jingjing and the rest of the group relaxed a little.
It was as if the haze brought about by the man's death had dissipated a little.
Originally, Great Hero Yan was the second to leave. However, perhaps it was because that person's death was unexpected, Great Hero Yan changed his strategy.
He then said to the two of them, ”You two, go first. After that, we three will go together!”
The two of them first went over, then the three of them went over. This way, he would be able to guarantee his own safety.
Naturally, no one dared to disobey him.
He walked forward silently.
The two of them walked even more cautiously.
And just like that, they waited for nearly two hours.
This journey seemed to be unexpectedly long.
Perhaps it was because the death of the previous person was truly too terrifying.
The Twist Snakes on the stone wall didn't seem to be able to leave the stone wall and wouldn't take the initiative to attack.
However, no one dared to approach them.
When those two finally managed to get past some danger, it was finally Jingjing, Li Yue, and Great Hero Yan's turn!
”Are you ready?” Great Hero Yan solemnly asked Jingjing and Li Yue.
Li Yue looked at Great Hero Yan and asked Jingjing, ”Are you ready?”
Jing Jing helplessly replied, ”So what if it isn't done, can't you go over?”
She sighed. ”Look at luck. Let's go. Are you ready?”
”I'm not ready!”
