Song qingxiao’s spiritual power was outstanding, and her hearing had become very sharp after her body was strengthened. In addition, she had been focusing all her attention, so she caught the sound. There was something wrong with the sound, and she instinctively wanted to retreat.
Originally, she, number one, number seven, and the others were standing at the back. However, when everyone rushed forward and knew that there was no danger behind them, there would always be some people who were afraid of death and would retreat to the back. The large number of people had almost cut off the path back to the forest.
There was a water source in front of her, and there were people on both sides. She quietly tried to make her way around the crowd to the right.
As soon as she moved, number one, number seven, and number three, who had been watching her closely, sensed that something was wrong and moved as well.
Number six was still at the scene. After knowing that he was a psychic ability user, song qingxiao didn’t dare to reveal that her psychic ability was also active in front of him. She took seven or eight steps back and was already a few meters away from the crowd. She stood on the far right side, and the other trial-takers slowly followed.
Even number six noticed that something was wrong. When she moved over, Zhou xueli seemed to have noticed it too. She whispered something in Mr. Zhou’s ear, and Mr. Zhou raised his head and looked in song qingxiao’s direction.
Unfortunately, he was surrounded by the dissatisfied workers and couldn’t get away for a while. He felt that something was wrong and wanted to walk in song qingxiao’s direction, but he couldn’t.
“Speak clearly!”
The worry and fear they had all along the way turned into great uneasiness after finding out that Mr. Zhou might be lying. All kinds of negative emotions in the workers ‘hearts erupted. Many people thought that since Mr. Zhou lied about the river here, it was very likely that he would make a fuss about going to the Research Institute to call the satellite for help.
In a fit of anger, the crowd began to push and shove. For safety, these workers stood close to each other. The stones on the ground were uneven and covered with moss. They had been soaking in the muddy water for years and were very slippery. It was very difficult to even stand. At this time, when they pushed and shoved, some people soon lost their balance and fell down.
There was a slope below them. It wasn’t very slanted, but it was connected to the water source. It was about 70 to 80 centimeters above the ground where they were standing. The man rolled two to three meters away after falling down. He seemed to have crushed something in the middle. The cracking sounds kept coming, which reminded song qingxiao of a Broken Egg.
A large amount of sticky liquid spattered out. Not only did it soak most of his body, but even the few people standing nearby were not spared and were splashed all over their faces.
With the lubricant, he fell another half a meter into the mud pit, splashing some dirty water.
The man was dizzy from the fall, but because he had been supported by seaweed when he fell, and the mud in the water was soft, he was not seriously injured.
However, when he stood up, he reached out to wipe his face. His hand was covered in a sticky liquid, and after it came into contact with the dirty water, it slowly dripped down from the gaps between his fingers. He brought his hand to his nose and sniffed it. He cursed,
“F * ck! What’s that disgusting thing?”
He didn’t even have time to curse at the person who pushed him down when the calm muddy surface suddenly changed.
About a meter behind him, a piece of the ground suddenly jutted out of the seemingly calm water.
It was as if there was something hidden below, and it was about to break out of the ground.
A small amount of dirty water rippled to the sides. Something emerged from the mud and formed a small hill on the surface of the puddle.
The people on the shore who saw this scene did not have time to scream. The ‘Hili’ suddenly changed, and a ‘whoosh’ sigh sounded. This time, everyone heard it clearly, even the man who was half-sitting in the mud.
He supported his body with his hands and tried to turn his head to look back. The hill behind him moved. Under the reflection of the water surface, everyone could clearly see two beams of dark red light on the hill, which made them shudder.
The man who fell into the puddle happened to turn his head and met the two beams of light. He was so scared that his body went limp and he couldn’t even muster the strength to speak.
In the next moment, the water moved even more violently, and the traces of turbulence in the water spread to about ten centimeters behind the man. The water surface was pushed open, and a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly appeared. It opened and closed, and with a ‘Kacha’ sound, the man bit into the mouth.
He didn’t even have the time to scream before a strong smell of blood spread. The upper half of his body was bitten in the mouth and was broken in two by the monster’s huge bite. The lower half of his body fell to the water with a ‘dang’ sound, accompanied by a spray of blood..
