Chapter 344: Crossing the River
Qin Wenyu and Yumu, who were walking in front, turned their heads sharply.
The woman is gone.
Neither of the two said a word, and immediately accelerated their pace and ran forward.
Yumu was injured in one foot, but at this moment, he could not see anything strange when he ran away.
There was something in the darkness behind him, that was absolutely certain.
But what is that?
afraid of what?
The two of them knew nothing.
The Millennium Blood Festival...
The name of this sacrificial feast made people chill from the bottom of their hearts, and everyone who was thrown into the Heian period felt a strong breath of death.
Despite some psychological preparation for the horrors of the Heian era, it was far more bizarre than they expected.
Until now, Qin Wenyu and Yu Muyi didn't know what they were facing.
"Have you heard the sound of water?"
Yuki asked in a low voice.
"Um."
Qin Wenyu understood what he meant.
Ancient people and even modern people lived with water, and the sound of water flow means that there are probably villages and towns around where humans gather.
Although it may not be safe to escape to a human town, it is at least much better than the current situation.
The non-stop jumping sound in the dark behind them put a lot of pressure on the two of them, but fortunately, they were the type of people who would burst out with great power under pressure, until they had escaped to the edge of the sound of water, the two of them also Not being caught by what's behind you.
But... Kagami is probably dead.
Glancing at the long river in front of them, Qin Wenyu and Yumu didn't think much about it, they took off their clothes and stuffed them into the waterproof bag.
The coldness of the river water was terrifying, and not long after they descended into the river, the two felt that the heat from their bodies was being quickly taken away.
At the same time, not far behind, just heard a thud, and something went into the water!
The two turned back immediately, but the sky was dark and hazy, and there was already a distance, so it was impossible to see what it was.
But that would never be any wild animal...
I don't know if it was because of the cold water or something else, the two of them felt chills down their spines.
"There is a fire on the other side of the river, and the village is ahead."
Tamaki said.
In fact, there is no need for him to remind them. The reason why the two came here, and the reason why they descended into the river, was to go to the village.
But he always felt that the atmosphere was too weird to say nothing at this moment.
Without stopping too much, the two of them swung their arms and continued to swim towards the opposite bank.
The fire in front is getting brighter and brighter, and the sound of water hitting behind is getting more and more intense!
An inexplicable panic hit, and the thing behind... was less than ten meters away from them.
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into Qin Wenyu's mind.
Is this river... so wide?
He felt the state of the river.
Fast, icy, and the more you go, the harder it is...
He thought it was because his body was starting to get tired that he had this feeling.
However, when he noticed a detail on the river, he suddenly realized something was wrong!
"Yamuichi, stop, the river is dead!"
Qin Wenyu said quickly.
Is the river dead?
Qin Wenyu's headless words made Yumu stunned for a moment, and he looked down.
The river is so fast, isn't it always flowing?
how can it be dead...
Yu Muyi, who was staring at the river, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the river in horror.
No... how could this be? !
Although this river is flowing, every detail of its flow, every ripple, every spray is actually the same...
A strong sense of strangeness loomed over, Yumu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a low voice: "It's like we are in a movie clip that is playing on a loop."
It can't go on like this... physical strength has been consumed all the time, the speed of chasing behind is fast, and the front is more and more laborious, so swimming is absolutely impossible to swim.
What to do...what to do?
Qin Wenyu looked back.
There was nothing on the dark river, but he knew that the thing that was chasing them was in the water and was coming towards them quickly.
Huh?
and many more!
Why is that thing downstream?
Qin Wenyu, who felt the abnormality, immediately dived into the bottom of the water. Within two seconds, he immediately came up and said, "The bottom of the water is normal."
The short sentence made Yumuyi immediately understand what Qin Wenyu meant.
The surface of the water is dead, and it is very difficult to swim, but the bottom is alive, which is why those who pursued them chose to dive into the bottom of the water.
The two of them were very mobile, and immediately plunged into the water. The river was not deep, but it was also three or four meters long. The icy and biting river water made their scalps hurt.
But this is the only way.
As soon as he dived into the bottom of the water, Yu Muyi knew that Qin Wenyu was right.
The further you go underwater, the less pressure you feel.
At the end, the two almost swam past the riverbed.
Yumu turned his head consciously and glanced at it. The dark and turbid river bottom should not have seen anything clearly.
Tamaki also felt that he was doing another stupid thing.
However... the moment he turned his head, he saw a pale and swollen face soaked in blisters!
It stretched out a thin, long arm and was grabbing at his feet!
Yumu knew that something was wrong, he kicked his legs hard, and suddenly... the turbulent water flow brought by the two arms behind him made him stagger, and the whole person actually floated up a little.
The more he floated up, the stronger the blocking force he felt from the water.
Unprecedented despair came over, and Yumu wanted to dive again, but the water had been stirred up by the arm behind him.
This force made him unable to control the direction by himself, and even his position and posture had to use all his strength.
No... no, I can't die!
Yumu's eyes are red, he can't die here, absolutely!
In the chaos, Tamaki was dazed by the current, but he was still trying to control it, even though he was almost completely out of control.
The pale arm that stirred the water stretched closer and closer, Yumu was confused, but he felt vaguely that he was dead.
At this time, a powerful force suddenly came from his shoulders!
This is... someone is pulling me?
The person who is still at the bottom of the river at this moment...is Qin Wenyu?
In the misty water, he vaguely saw Qin Wenyu, who had already swam in front, turned around, grabbed the clothes on his shoulders, and pulled him back to the bottom of the riverbed.
The huge pressure suddenly disappeared, and as soon as he got close to the riverbed, Yumuyi's strong will to survive was aroused again, and his legs suddenly kicked!
Just before the two arms were about to catch him, he shot out like a swimming fish.
to the shore!
Qin Wenyu climbed out first, then stretched out his hand and pulled Yumu up one by one.
The two coughed up a few mouthfuls of river water, and before they could stop, they fled towards the place where there was fire in front of them.
