"Be careful! It's that strange beast!"

"Close your eyes, don't get caught in its ways!"

In this black water river, the bright light looked particularly blinking. It was already noticed by everyone as soon as it appeared. At this moment, everyone became nervous and quickly warned each other.

"..."

Wu Liang looked at the bright light under the water that was gradually approaching the fleet, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

But at the same time, he was also very curious and wanted to see this unique beast with his own eyes. However, if this strange beast could really captivate the mind, it would be best not to see it.

"Calm down!"

Seeing that the six soldiers on the bamboo rafts were a little panicked, Zhang Liang finally stopped him, and then loudly ordered, "Everyone listens to the order and temporarily stops sliding the bamboo rafts. Everyone closes their eyes and waits in place. There must be no mistakes!"

It is obviously unrealistic to get rid of this strange beast.

Their bamboo raft relied on two bamboo poles to advance along the rock wall next to the river, and they were still going upstream. The speed of travel was naturally not much faster, and this strange beast lived in the water, no matter what, it had to go

Much more sensitive than them.

Therefore, there was no problem with Zhang Liang's order.

The safest way now is to stop and try not to disturb the strange beast, but if you think about it from another angle, this actually feels a bit deceptive.

After all, the strange beast was approaching them directly at this moment.

They have obviously been discovered, and it is too late to talk about not alarming the strange beast now.

Unless the alien beast can detect the prey and attack only when it looks "eye-to-eye" with the prey and confuses it, then closing your eyes and waiting there now is equivalent to being caught without a fight.

And about that.

Zuo Ci did not make it too clear when he described it to Wu Liang before, so Wu Liang was not sure whether they had fully understood the habits of the strange beast, and whether Zhang Liang was on target when he issued such an order...

With this thought.

Wu Liang did not close his eyes immediately, but continued to observe the situation at this moment.

On the contrary, the soldiers had closed their eyes consciously, and even their breathing had slowed down a lot. They stood motionless on the bamboo raft like stone statues.

However, they were still very nervous in their hearts, and the tightly clenched hands betrayed them.

Look at Dian Wei again.

Dian Wei never closed his eyes. At this moment, he was looking towards Wu Liang, trying to take advantage of the opportunity when these soldiers closed their eyes to get some information through Wu Liang's eyes and some small movements, and then decide what to do next.

Unfortunately, Wu Liang still received too little information at this moment and could not make an immediate decision, so he had to shake his head slightly at Dian Wei, telling him not to act rashly for the time being.

And the other side.

Zuo Ci did not close his only remaining eye. He was also looking towards Wu Liang and Dian Wei at this moment, but at this moment Wu Liang's back was to Zuo Ci, and Zuo Ci could only see Dian Wei's expression.

"!"

Seeing that Dian Wei had noticed him, Zuo Ci immediately raised one hand and made a closing gesture. This probably meant that Dian Wei should close his eyes and stop looking around.

"?"

Dian Wei immediately showed a strange look on his face and motioned to Wu Liang to turn back with his eyes.

Wu Liang recalled turning his head and saw the gesture Zuo Ci was making. He immediately understood what Zuo Ci meant, then nodded slightly to Zuo Ci, then turned to Dian Wei and nodded.

This means what the teachings Wei Zhaozuo Ci says to do.

Before Zhang Liang issued the order, Wu Liang still had some doubts. Now that Zuo Ci also taught them to do this, Wu Liang had confidence in his heart. After all, Zuo Ci should be on their side at the moment.

It seems that Zhang Liang and Zuo Ci have indeed figured out the habits of the strange beast, and the strange beast should indeed attack when it "looks right" at its prey. In this way, the problem becomes

It's much simpler. As long as you can stabilize your mood, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

What's more, both Zhang Liang and Yan Lu had closed their eyes in advance, so they would definitely not harm themselves...

…

It's such a stunning skill.

The strange beast was getting closer and closer to them, and now it was less than three feet away from the bamboo raft at the rear of the fleet.

To be on the safe side, Wu Liang thought he should close his eyes in advance.

But his curiosity made him reluctant to close his eyes. He felt that he should at least see which bamboo raft the strange beast had chosen and close his eyes when it was about to stick out its "big eyes" from the water.

This move is undoubtedly a very classic negative example in later film and television works.

Wu Liang knew clearly that this was a bit of a suicide attempt, but he couldn't help but want to take a second look.

Close!

Closer!

The underwater light group has reached under the bamboo raft at the end of the fleet.

But it did not stop, but swayed directly under the bamboo raft and continued to swim forward.

Then came the bamboo raft on which Zhang Liang and Yan Lu were riding.

The light group still did not stop.

Then there was the bamboo raft Zuo Ci was riding on. Wu Liang noticed that Zuo Ci had closed his eyes in advance at some point.

Next, is the bamboo raft Wu Liang rides on...

Wu Liang finally did not dare to take any more risks, so he closed his eyes and waited quietly with bated breath.

Before he closed his eyes, he subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Dian Wei. At this moment, Dian Wei also had his eyes open. Wu Liang nodded to him, and he finally closed his eyes.

"..."

There was silence all around.

According to Zuo Ci's previous description, Wu Liang believed that the strange beast had not discovered him yet, otherwise he would have been affected by it, and his mind should never be as clear as it is now.

Even now, Wu Liang can still think of the little fox that sneaked in.

It is definitely Zhen Mi's fox servant, but now that he, Zhang Liang and others have walked by water, even if the fox servant can still identify their traces, it may be difficult to follow them.

No, foxes should also be able to swim. Anyway, basically all the canines he knew could, and "dog paddling" was their natural skill.

It's just that it may not be a wise choice for the fox servant to rush into the water.

After all, apart from that strange beast, it is still unknown whether there are other things underwater. Anyway, Wu Liang would definitely not easily go down into such an unobservable black water river...

Just then.

"Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah..."

Wu Liang suddenly heard a slight sound of water breaking, followed by the sound of water droplets dripping continuously.

The sound of water droplets dripping gradually slowed down from rapid to rapid. It was obvious that something had come out of the water, and the water droplets brought out from it were constantly sliding down...

The sound was not loud, but it was extremely harsh, as if water drops were dripping on his heart.

It is not difficult to imagine that this is the "big eye" of the alien beast leaving the water and starting to look for prey.

And he definitely didn't want this voice to be farther away from him. Although he couldn't make an accurate judgment like Bai Jingjing, it would not be more than two feet away at most...

The distance was less than two feet, and the sound came from Dianwei's side.

Wu Liang immediately came to the conclusion that the strange beast should have stopped between the bamboo rafts on which he and Dian Wei were riding.

As for whether they were focused on the bamboo raft he was on or the bamboo raft Dian Wei was on...this was definitely not the result Wu Liang wanted.

At this moment.

Wu Liang couldn't help but become suspicious.

Coincidence?

But this is too much of a coincidence.

Everyone closed their eyes in advance, but he and Dian Wei did not close their eyes until just now. Could this be the main reason why the strange beast stopped in this place?

As for what the principle is, Wu Liang has no way to give a reasonable explanation.

To say that when the strange beast is still underwater, everyone should have seen the light source it emits. If it can sense the observer under the water, then its target should be everyone present.

So it stays here at the moment...

Is this a game where whoever closes his eyes last will die?

But this explanation is not reasonable.

If it has determined the target, it can launch an attack immediately, instead of sticking its "big eyes" out of the water to look for prey like it is now. This is too patient, and even a bit like a cat playing with a mouse.

Does this strange beast really have such intelligence and leisurely temperament?

"Drop it...drop it..."

The sound of dripping water drops became longer and longer, and neither became farther nor closer. It was unclear whether the "big eye" had stayed in place for a while without any action, and it was not known what it was waiting for.

But Wu Liang became more and more worried.

The first thing he worried about was not himself, but Dian Wei.
