"Wow!"

Before he had time to react, Wu Liang was forcibly dragged into the underground river.

The cold river water instantly flooded over his head. Wu Liang could not see anything, and there was only the sound of "gurgling, gurgling" water in his ears. He almost choked on the water in shock.

However, he did not give up the struggle. While he was struggling, one hand reached behind his waist as a habit, and he took out the copper dagger pinned on his waist. No matter what it was that caught him, he couldn't help it.

You have to do something for yourself.

Although the eyes cannot see, the ears cannot hear.

But he knew that his ankles were being grasped tightly by a pair of terrifying hands. If he wanted to survive, he had to break free from these hands and leave this underground river.

So he could only shrink his body with all his strength, wave the copper dagger randomly and cut the hands by feeling.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time as he swung out the copper dagger, Wu Liang suddenly felt his ankle loosen, and his hands actually let go of him at this moment.

The copper dagger was in vain.

But now he was finally freed from his restraints, and he quickly started fluttering with his hands and feet, trying to use his best dog paddle to help him surface, and then find a way to quickly return to the shore.

Now he has no time to think about what the thing that dragged him into the water is. His only thought is to get back to the shore as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he is caught or entangled by that thing again and keeps pulling him under the water, he will soon

Will be drowned alive!

The result was such a flutter.

"What is this?!"

Wu Liang's foot actually stepped on something solid.

Under this situation, Wu Liang thought he had stepped on an unknown evil thing under the water, so he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his feet.

But as his body continued to sink to the bottom of the water, he had to continue to tread water with his feet.

As a result, this step actually hit a solid entity again.

But now he couldn't care so much. No matter what was under the water, in order to survive, he had to push hard and try to use the rebound force to get out of the water as quickly as possible.

Then.

"Um?!"

Wu Liang's entire upper body rushed out of the water at once.

In fact, he just stood up from the water. There didn't seem to be anything messy under his feet. It felt like it was just a very stable river bed.

At this moment, the river water was only up to his waist.

"Such shallow water?"

Wu Liang couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to stay for a long time. He quickly raised his hand to wipe the water off his face. He just wanted to see the direction clearly and get ashore as soon as possible. He didn't say anything else.

And just when he finally opened his eyes.

"Fuck!"

Wu Liang made another unconscious sound.

Because at this moment, in the water less than half a meter away in front of him, stood a disheveled humanoid monster that looked neither human nor ghost.

The monster's hair is long and dense, covering half of its face and part of its naked body. Most of its hair is still scattered in the turbid water, which is exactly the same as the "black hair" that Wu Liang saw in the river before.

"Generally the same.

Through the hair, you can barely see its face.

It was a pale face without a trace of blood, with facial features similar to those of humans. The most creepy thing was its eyes. Her eyes had large pupils, and the black eyeballs occupied almost half of the eye sockets, with only a very small amount.

The whites of eyes.

At this moment, its expression was extremely distorted, it was a ferocious mixture of anger and resentment.

Are there really water ghosts?!

Wu Liang's scalp went numb instantly.

Compared with the image of this monster and the image of "water ghoul" or "forbidden woman" that appeared in folklore and literary works in later generations, although I dare not say that there is no difference, it can be said that it is completely carved from the same mold.

from!

Wu Liang had no doubt that it was determined to kill him.

Because at the same time Wu Liang regained his sight, a stick-like object in its hand was thrust into his chest without any explanation.

Wu Liang knew what the stick-like object was. It was the chisel he had seen most around the corpses along the way. Although this thing did not belong to the category of weapons, it was easy to stab someone to death.

the most important is.

Wu Liang had no time to dodge now, it was already too late to even raise his hand to resist!

"Are we going to die like this in the hands of an unknown monster?"

Wu Liang felt despair.

But it was absolutely impossible to capture him without any help. In desperation, he still instinctively raised his hand and stabbed the opponent with the copper dagger in his hand.

Although it is a step too late, if the monster insists on hurting himself, even if the dagger is a beat slower, it still has a chance to hit the opponent.

But whether this monster will be hurt by physical damage is another matter.

Wu Liang can only be regarded as doing his best now...

"Qiang!"

The chisel in the monster's hand comes first.

Wu Liang was mentally prepared to face pain and death, but he heard such an unexpected sound. He didn't seem to feel any obvious pain, just some chest tightness after suffering a shock.

The next second.

"Whoosh!"

Wu Liang's copper dagger also grazed the monster's arm.

"ah!"

Instead, the monster first let out a cry of pain, and the chisel in its hand fell into the water. Then a bright red blood poured out from its arm, which was also as pale as paper.

"?!"

Wu Liang was stunned.

He didn't have time to think about why the chisel didn't pierce his chest. The first question that popped up in Wu Liang's mind was: "Water ghosts can bleed, too. Is the blood still red?"

Like most, within his understanding.

Whether it is a water ghoul or a forbidden woman, this thing is not a living thing at all, but an evil creature in a special state.

Ordinary weapons can't hurt this evil creature at all, let alone make this creature hurt and bleed red blood like normal humans.

Could it be...

My copper dagger is actually a magic weapon that can deal with evil things, but I didn't realize it before?

These thoughts only flashed through Wu Liang's mind.

Under this situation, he naturally did not dare to be too distracted. Seeing that he was not injured by the chisel, and that his dagger seemed to have caused some damage to the evil object, he naturally became energetic and hurriedly waved the copper dagger again.

If you stab the monster in front of you, even if you can't kill it, you still have to force it back first.

However, the monster's reaction was also extremely fast.

"Wow!"

Just as Wu Liangcai was about to finish off the attack, the monster plunged into the water again, diving like a fish into the water that was only about one meter deep, and then quickly swam away into the distance.

The water in the underground river was very turbid at this moment, and Wu Liang could not see the monster.

All that could be seen was that the clump of long black hair that was still floating on the water gradually moved away, and soon disappeared into the endless darkness.

"call!"

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What followed was a severe feeling of collapse. His legs were a little weak and he couldn't stand even in the water.

But looking at the "long black hair" floating gently in the water not far away, Wu Liang didn't dare to stay in the water for a long time, so he quickly pushed himself back to the shore as quickly as possible.

Return to the shore like this and pick up the Suihou Pearl that fell to the ground.

Wu Liang rolled onto the path a few meters away from the underground river, then lay down on his back and gasped for air.

It's so thrilling...

Being able to survive this time is simply a miracle, a miracle among miracles.

Wu Liang's heart was full of happiness that he had survived the disaster, and it was only then that he finally had time to recall the details just now.

correct?

Why didn't the monster's chisel hurt me?
