But what surprised me was that this corpse looked familiar... Oh, right, isn't this the man in the straw hat who rode his motorcycle and brought me to this ghost village that day? Shouldn't he have already fled the village with the taxi driver that day? Why was he here, and dead?

Regardless of all that, I suppressed the disgust and horror on my face and swam towards the surface of the lake while feeling around him. Unfortunately, he had nothing on him... It seemed that my bag was in the hands of the taxi driver.

Damn, if my bag hadn’t been stolen, I wouldn’t be in this state!

I kicked the straw hat man's body away and watched him sink to the bottom of the lake. I swam up without hesitation. But unexpectedly, my foot seemed to be pulled by something again. I looked down and saw that it was the straw hat man's body!

I looked at his terrifying face staring up at me. It was so scary that it was almost terrifying... Then, even more terrifying, he opened his mouth and said, "Save me..."

Alive?

I was shocked. That’s not right. According to Su Xiaoniu, those who were entangled by corpse toads and started to gnaw on their flesh were basically dead people. So what was going on?

Su Xiaoniu suddenly said anxiously: "Don't guess, he has changed... This is the real water ghost, hurry up and get ashore! Under no circumstances should you fight him in the water. You are unprepared now and you can't deal with a water ghost!"

My heart skipped a beat when I heard that, but I didn't care about anything else. I kicked my feet hard and my body floated up a little. However, I was quickly grabbed by the straw hat man and pulled down hard, and my body sank again.

I realized that even if Su Xiaoniu was constantly supplying me with oxygen, I was almost dying... There was nothing I could do in the water. Before I could even hold my breath, I gulped down a mouthful of lake water with a "gulp". Damn, a foul odor immediately filled my whole body and almost made me vomit!

No, I have to get up! I kicked my legs hard and swam upwards. The man in the straw hat kept pulling my feet tightly. If I swam up a little, he would pull me down mercilessly... The stalemate lasted less than a minute. I couldn't bear it anymore and drank several mouthfuls of lake water. My body kept shaking in the water and I felt as if I was suffocating.

"Cough cough... hold on!" Su Xiaoniu said breathlessly. She kept supplying me with air, but this would also consume a lot of her energy. I could feel her voice getting weaker and weaker.

At this moment, my chest suddenly felt warm, and the Candle Dragon Jade emitted a faint red glow. I suddenly felt much more comfortable. I gritted my teeth, kicked my legs hard, and swam quickly towards the lake. Soon, I saw the moonlight reflected on the lake. I was close to the lake surface and could breathe fresh air!

Suddenly my feet sank and my body sank straight down as if I had eaten heavy metal. I was startled and looked down. It turned out that the other three corpses whose arms I had chopped off before rushed up and grabbed my legs, causing my body to sink countless times!

"Oh no, they have all become water ghosts!" Su Xiaoniu said in surprise.

I was terrified and tried my best to swim upwards, but four water ghosts were pulling my legs and I couldn't move at all. At the critical moment, Su Xiaoniu suddenly said, "Silly! Where's the Bagua mirror?"

I subconsciously took out the Bagua mirror from my arms, and Su Xiaoniu asked me to use the Bagua mirror to shine on the four water ghosts under the lake.

I did as I was told and pointed the Bagua mirror at the four water ghosts who had been pulling my legs. Suddenly, I saw a very dazzling light burst out from the Bagua mirror, so dazzling that I couldn't even open my eyes.

A huge whirlpool formed at the bottom of the lake, and the light from the Bagua mirror directly illuminated the dark bottom of the water, making it look white... Soon I felt my legs loosen, and the four water ghosts seemed to let me go. It seemed that the Bagua mirror worked!

Without hesitation, I kicked my legs and swam straight up.

Crash!

Finally floating to the surface, I took two deep breaths of air happily. For the first time, I felt that being able to breathe air was such a pleasant thing!

But before I could get ashore, something pulled at my feet again. It seemed that the four water ghosts had not been eliminated, and the Bagua Mirror could only force them back temporarily... Just when I thought I was going to be pulled in again, a thick rope was thrown from the shore. I caught it and looked towards the shore.
