I hurriedly looked down and was shocked. The calm river surface began to tremble again. Soon, those black human faces emerged from the bottom of the water again, screaming and stretching out their black hands to scratch around.
I quickly put the wetsuit on my shoulders, followed the rope with both hands and climbed forward. "Quick, quick, quick, Zhongyi, hurry up, the speargun is about to come out." Mr. Mai yelled, and Shunzi and the others clung to the rope on the opposite side, barely supporting me with their own strength.
But when I was about to climb to the other side, my left foot was suddenly grabbed, causing me to be unable to move. I looked down and saw that a black hand was holding my left foot tightly. The wrist.
The black hand was very powerful. He wanted to drag me directly into the river. This powerful force made the rope tremble even more violently, and I was about to fall.
At this critical moment, there was a gunshot, and the bullet directly broke the arm. After the black arm was broken, I saw it disappear bit by bit with my own eyes. It fell, as if it had evaporated.
I didn't have time to be dazed, so I quickly climbed over along the rope. When I quickly climbed to the other side, I almost fell to the ground. Jiao Ba stepped forward and helped me, "Yi Ge, how are you? Are you okay?" "
I glanced at him. He was holding a pistol in his hand. He must have done the shooting just now. "It's okay. Why did you hide another gun?" "I remember very clearly that when we were taking inventory of our equipment, there were no pistols at all.
"Don't ask this yet, how are your legs?" Jiao Ba asked a little worried.
"It's okay, don't worry." I stood up immediately to express that everything was fine.
I turned around and looked into the ditch. The faces of the black people, after howling in pain again, began to slowly sink to the bottom of the water. Soon, the water surface calmed down again, as if something Nothing ever happened.
Chang Shan came over at this time and said, "I hope they can all rest in peace."
Mai Lao shouted from behind, "Don't look at it, we still have to hurry, let's go."
"Here we come." I responded, and just when I was about to turn around and leave, I suddenly saw a person standing on the opposite side of the ditch. This person was very familiar to me, and he was the one with the messy hair. Wrapped old man.
He was hiding next to a big tree, with only half of his body exposed. I couldn’t see his eyes clearly this time, but I could feel that he had been watching us. Along the way, he Maybe it has never left. It should always be hidden around us, but we just can't find it yet.
I raised my head and stared at him. What did this damn mysterious old man want to do? Who is he? Every time I see him, I get extremely nervous. I remember that I almost died because of him last time. In my hand, I felt an indescribable feeling of fear.
"Zhongyi, what are you doing?" Mai Lao's voice came from behind me.
I turned to look at him and said, "Oh, I'll come right away." When I turned around again, the wizened old man disappeared again, but I knew very well that he was hiding again. Who is he and what is hidden behind him? I think it will be found out sooner or later, and it should be absolutely connected to this desert island.
I turned around and walked forward. I plan to bury this matter in my heart. There is no need to say it out anymore. Since that ghost old man has already set his sights on us, we can’t hide if we want to. We can only do it ourselves. Be more careful.
We packed up our things, got dressed, took down the speargun from the tree, and continued walking along this jungle trail. I don’t know if there is another strange island. What dangers await us.
Everything here can not only be described as terrifying, but even calling it hell is not an exaggeration at all.
When we walked forward for a while, I suddenly felt a pain in my left foot and fell to the ground. When Jiao Ba saw me falling to the ground, he hurried over and helped me to the bottom of the tree, "Brother Yi, you What's going on?"
Mai Lao and others also ran over, "Zhongyi, is it okay?" Jenny asked a little worried.
I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, maybe I have a sprained foot."
At this time, Mr. Mai suddenly said, "Are you tired? If you are tired, take a rest."< br>
I'm not tired, but my left ankle is burning with pain. It's the kind of pain that's concentrated, as if it's been burned by fire.
I lifted up my diving suit and took a look at my left foot. On my left ankle, there was a black palm print. The mark was a bit blurry and not very clear. It was just like the watermark just printed on it, except that it was It was still steaming white, as if it had been burned.
“Oh my god, why are your feet like this?” Jenny said a little scared after seeing it.
Because the pain was unbearable, I wanted to touch it with my hand, but Jiao Ba grabbed my hand and said, "Don't touch it yet."
I glanced at him and held back. The pain lasted for a while, about ten seconds, and then the white smoke disappeared little by little, and the pain also disappeared, but a deep black palm was left on my left ankle. The mark, like the brand, is indented.
I was a little dumbfounded, "Holy crap, am I fucking poisoned?"
Jiao Ba's face turned gloomy. He touched the black palm print on my ankle with his hand, "Does it hurt?"
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't hurt. I don't feel anything now." It's strange to say that the pain was burning and unbearable just now, but now I feel nothing, as if nothing happened.
"Can you stand up and try to walk?" Jiao Ba took my arm and helped me up.
I stood up and stretched my left foot, then walked a few steps forward. I really didn’t feel anything at all. It didn’t hurt or itch, and it didn’t delay anything. “I don’t feel it anymore, it seems like nothing.” "It's okay."
But when Jiao Bayi heard what I said, his expression became even worse. At this time, Li Xin asked from the side, "Is everything okay?"
I quickly kicked the side and said, "It looks like everything is fine."
"No way, the fingerprints are so deep, it doesn't look like everything is fine." The big man looked at me. Left Foot said.
"Could he be poisoned? The river water is poisonous, and that figure... forget it, I can't say anything, it's scary just thinking about it." Mantou shrank his neck and shivered all over. all of a sudden.
Jiao Ba never spoke, his face turned very bad, and Chang Shan didn't say a word. Only Mai Lao came over and said, "Maybe he is really poisoned. It's better to be careful, for fear that it will be poisonous later."
I smiled and said, "Even if I'm poisoned, there's nothing I can do about it. It's no use worrying about me. Okay, at least I'm fine now."
Jiao Ba's face recovered, "Brother Yi, it's okay. You don't have to worry. The fingerprints will go away in a few days."
I glanced at him and said, "Lao Ba, tell me the truth. "Is something okay?" I always feel that Jiao Ba seems to be hiding something from me. His abnormal face and eyes prove everything. I still understand him relatively well.
But this time Jiao Ba denied it, "It's really okay, don't worry, Brother Yi."
Chang Shan suddenly said at this time, "It's okay Zhongyi, Jiao Ba How can I lie to you? "
I don't understand what Chang Shan means, but there must be something wrong. He must have seen some clues, but I haven't been able to ask in detail.
Mr. Mai patted my arm and said, "If nothing happens, let's set off. If anything happens, you can inform me again and pay attention to the wounds on the way."
It seems that this is the only way to do it, let's not delay now Just walk, I nodded, "Well, let's go, Mr. Mai." ”
A group of us set off again and walked up the mountain. I was still walking at the back. Although I said I didn’t care, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart. This strange black The palm prints were so deeply imprinted on my feet.
Just because Jiao Ba said it’s okay, does that mean it’s really okay? Is this simply impossible? I would rather this palm print bring pain, at least I know it hurts, but now it doesn't hurt or itch. This is the biggest problem.
Jiao Ba was walking in front of me. I took a few steps to catch up with him and asked in a low voice, "I ask you, Lao Ba, what is going on with this palm print on my foot?"
Jiao Ba hesitated and said, "Oh, didn't I tell you? It's okay. Don't worry, just go in peace."
I glared at him, a little angry. He yelled, "I'm leaving your sister. Tell me the truth quickly, otherwise I'm not done with you."
Jiao Ba looked at me helplessly, with embarrassment written all over his face, "You mean, what's going on? Even if it means death, I'll admit it." What I can't bear the most is this kind of suffering, just like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced.
Jiao Ba was in a dilemma, and finally whispered in my ear, "Brother Yi, actually this is not poisoning, I feel it is."
"What is it? ? Why are you so sloppy? Come on," I said with a glare.
"It's a curse, it's what Chang Shan said before." Jiao Ba said it calmly.
I knew that this damn palm print was definitely up to no good. Sure enough, I guessed it right. It turned out to be this so-called curse. If it was Chang Shan who said it, I might still be suspicious, at least in my heart. Be more prepared.
But now that even Jiao Ba has said so, it should be more or less the case. Combined with just now, Chang Shan also specifically told me that it was okay. He must have cooperated with Jiao Ba, and he must have noticed it. .
"Why didn't you tell me before?" I was calm and not that surprised. I was prepared for the worst.
"Aren't I afraid that you will worry? How do you ask me to speak? In front of so many people, do you think you are cursed? Then Mai Lao and the others will have to worry too, and so will I. There's no other way, just think that I'm looking out for the overall situation," Jiao Ba said with a serious face, obviously not joking. "Is that so-called curse real?" I have never understood what is cursing what? It sounds like my head is a little confused.
