Chapter 693: Deep Water Suffocation
Pfft!
Wu Xian fell into the pool, splashing a lot of water.
He had imagined that his jump would be as graceful as an athlete's, but in reality it was like throwing a big watermelon into the water.
The nameless man said that as long as the magical power was in effect, they could breathe in the water.
Wu Xian just happened to have experience in breathing water. Previously, in the real-world fishing competition, Wu Xian won the reward by relying on his ability to breathe water.
But when Wu Xiangang tried to breathe according to his previous experience, the water from the pond poured into his ear canal, nasal cavity and mouth. The water flowed into his lungs, making his lungs hurt as if they had exploded. He was instantly enveloped by a huge feeling of suffocation.
"Scream!"
"Didn't that guy say he could breathe underwater?"
It was like the suffocating feeling of being suddenly pushed into the water, causing Wu Xian to struggle violently like a drowned dog.
But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't swim to the shore in the water without buoyancy. He could only slowly descend in despair, as if there was a water ghost pulling him from below!
After falling for a distance, Wu Xian was surprised to find that he only felt suffocated, but there were no signs of lack of oxygen.
In other words, what the nameless man meant by being able to breathe was only that he would not drown in the pool of water. However, as long as he was still in the pool of water, he would have to endure the pain of suffocation.
If Wu Xian doesn't want to be confused all the way, he has to adapt to this pain.
This feeling is simply indescribable. It's like having a piece of thick bubble gum in your throat that you can't bite off or swallow, your nose is filled with cool mints, and your alveoli are filled with popping candies that are constantly exploding...
Relying on this abstract imagination, Wu Xiancai finally adapted.
He endured the severe discomfort, supported himself with his hands on the moss-covered rock walls on both sides, turned over, and turned his head downward, straightening his body to reduce resistance and speed up his descent.
The water in the pond is unusually clear and has a slightly sweet taste. It is so deep and dark underwater that you cannot see the bottom of the pond at all.
We descended a little further and entered a deep enough area of water where even the light coming down from the mouth of the pool could no longer be seen.
Wu Xian was completely in the dark at this moment. He spread his arms and tried to feel around, but found that he could no longer touch the rock wall.
This means that the deeper the pool, the wider the underwater space.
It was hard to imagine what the entire body of water really looked like. Wu Xian could not see anything and could not hear anything. He could only feel that he was descending.
Under the pressure of suffocation, Wu Xian began to have wild thoughts.
"Think about it carefully. The huge black shadow that was weakened by the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi that I saw in the Ghost River before was also completely black and blended perfectly with this environment. If it was hiding here, I would have no way of finding it."
"The nameless man said that when we cross the Weak Water, the Weak Water barrier will be breached, which may attract an attack from the Ghost River."
"Was the attack caused by that huge black shadow?"
"If it is... is it swimming around me right now, waiting for the opportunity for the Weak Water to touch it?"
The more Wu Xian thought about it, the more creepy he felt. It was as if the silent darkness had come to life, and something might suddenly jump out from any place.
As Wu Xian sank deeper and deeper, the water pressure in the pool began to increase, wrapping around his body and squeezing his muscles and bones.
From the feeling, this squeeze no longer felt like water, but more like a pair of large hands in the darkness, tightly grasping his body, leaving no gaps, and gradually exerting force...
Suddenly, in the darkness at the bottom of the pool, something other than black appeared vaguely, pulling Wu Xian, who was already a little dizzy, out of his increasingly abstract fantasy.
That's a huge eye!
The pupils were red, the whites of the eyes were slightly blurry, and there were some thin blood vessels floating around the eyeballs...
[Wooah...] Before Wu Xian could take a closer look at the eye, the horrifying "Wooah" sound appeared again.
The water in the pond vibrated at a high frequency like the liquid in an ultrasonic cleaning machine, causing Wu Xian's eyes to hurt. He could only close his eyelids to protect himself.
Wu Xian was falling faster and faster, then suddenly stopped, his body shaking violently, almost making him faint.
……
"Stop it!"
"You're crazy, you're all crazy. Am I the only normal person left here?"
"We are almost at the end, why are people suddenly committing suicide?"
"Please, don't die, don't leave me alone..."
When the shaking stopped, Wu Xian opened his eyes and found that he was holding the shore of the pool with both hands, and his lower body was still soaked in the pool.
The voice Wu Xian just heard was Han Yu's heart-wrenching plea.
When Wu Xian climbed out of the pool, he found that the person Han Yu was begging was Yuan Buai. Her voice was hoarse, and her tone was filled with terror and despair.
But Yuan Buyai's face was full of determination, and he didn't care about Han Yu's dissuasion at all. He blocked Han Yu with one hand and pinched his own throat with the other hand using the "Eagle Claw" posture in martial arts movies.
After seeing Wu Xian, Yuan Buyai was speechless. He first nodded at Wu Xian, and then seemed to say something, but Wu Xian did not hear it clearly.
So Wu Xian tilted his head and poured some pond water out of his ears. His ears finally became clearer. He asked Yuan Buyai again: "Can you say what you just said again?"
Yuan Buyai shook his head and refused to answer, then resolutely tore open his own throat with his bare hands, and warm blood sprayed on Han Yu's face opposite him.
"Ah!"
Han Yu screamed, her pupils dilated, and she knelt on the ground with a dazed expression, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.
Blood stained Yuan Buyai's collar, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all. Instead, he smiled at Wu Xian. Blood from his throat flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He swayed and fell to the ground...
It was not until this time that Wu Xian noticed that there were corpses all around. Except for Wu Xian and Han Yu, the bodies of the other seven people were all there!
Wu Xian turned his head again and looked up.
Behind him, he saw a huge piece of meat as big as a mountain, covered with tendons, internal organs and fur, which gave him an indescribable feeling of nausea.
But after seeing this scene, Wu Xian's expression remained unchanged and he turned to look at Han Yu.
"Can you tell me what happened here?"
"Why are you asking this too? Why, why, why..."
But when Han Yu faced Wu Xian's questions, it was as if a sensitive nerve was touched, and he slapped himself madly. It was obvious that this novice family member could not bear the pressure and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Wu Xian looked at her quietly for a while, then grabbed her shoulders and spoke seriously.
"Calm down. I promise, I'm not like them. Tell me what happened quickly. I don't have much time."
The frightened Han Yu finally calmed down a little.
"They, they're all crazy!"
