Chapter 783: Man-eating Quagmire

Seeing the man running away, Li Sikai hurried into the thatched hut to check the situation.

Yuan Ruoxi was seen lying on the bed with red rashes all over her face, motionless.

Li Sikai put his finger under her nose and found that she was no longer breathing.

I pressed my fingers on her neck again and found that there was no pulse. There was no heart beat either.

Li Sikai couldn't tell what he felt for a moment. The person he had been with day and night for two or three years was suddenly gone. Even if he didn't like or hate him before, he still felt a little sad.

He sighed, and seeing that there was no one outside, he quickly took off the diamond earrings on Yuan Ruoxi's ears, put on the imitations in his pocket, and then bowed deeply to the corpse.

He walked out of the thatched hut and ran forward more than a hundred meters before catching up with a bystander. After saying a lot of nice words to the man, the man agreed to help look after Yuan Ruoxi's body.

Li Sikai followed the direction in which the main force was running and soon caught up with Xiong Jianwei, Geng Zhixing and others.

Several team members thought that the jade bracelet was a space carrier. They were upset that they didn't keep an eye on her and got into trouble, so they tried their best to catch up with Lu Nanfang.

Lu Nanfang was not feeling well at this time either. She was running as fast as possible, but she still couldn't get rid of Tong Xianbao who was many steps behind her, not to mention the guards who were chasing her and hundreds of onlookers.

Lu Nanfang thought, Tong Xianbao is such a fool, he dares to talk about such a heaven-defying treasure, isn't he afraid of being hunted down?

In fact, Tong Xianbao didn’t really think about it that much. He just instinctively didn’t want Lu Nanfang to take the treasure away.

Besides, if the bracelet is recovered by relying on the power of the masses, then everyone can sit together and talk about reason, and then talk about the ownership of the space. As the man of the former owner of the space, he may not be unable to gain any benefits.

That's why he would run and shout.

Lu Nanfang hated him so much, but she couldn't do anything about it. She thought that if that was the case, she would just take the lead and claim him as her master. At worst, she could replace Yuan Ruoxi in the future.

She ran while biting her finger, and finally biting it through, she placed her finger on the bracelet, trying to recognize its owner.

"Hurry up, hurry up and suck the blood, why aren't you moving?" Lu Nanfang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. In a panic, he ran into a quagmire that no one had ever explored.

Tong Xianbao didn't even look at the road and followed him in.

The onlookers were alert and after running about ten meters inside, they realized something was wrong and retreated one after another.

But Geng Zhixing, Xiong Jianwei and Sun Sainan, who were chasing the bracelet, were blinded and quickly jumped into the mud, getting closer and closer to the two.

The temptation of space made everyone lose their sense of proportion.

When Li Sikai caught up with them, they were already nearly 100 meters from the shore. He looked forward from the shore and immediately found something wrong.

Lu Nanfang was almost sinking into the quagmire, but she was unaware and was still struggling to move forward.

"Come back, everyone, it's dangerous!" Li Sikai roared, but Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang turned a deaf ear to him.

Geng Zhixing, Sun Sainan, and Xiong Jianwei did hear it, but they didn't care whether it was dangerous or not. When they thought about the failure of the mission, they had the urge to kill themselves.

"Come back, Lao Geng, Lao Sun, Lao Xiong, be obedient!" Li Sikai shouted at the top of his lungs and even went down into the mud himself.

Several guards were so anxious that their eyes turned red. They only thought that the bracelet must not be lost. They rushed forward without turning their heads to look at Li Sikai.

Suddenly, a scream of "Ah!" resounded through the night sky. Everyone stopped and looked towards the source of the sound.

Under the moonlight, there was no trace of anyone in the quagmire ahead.

"Lu Nanfang? Lu Nanfang, where are you?" Tong Xianbao had a bad feeling in his heart. He shouted, but no one responded.

The quagmire was quiet, and there was no other sound except for them.

"Lu Nanfang, stop being so petty and respond quickly! This is not a joke!" Geng Zhixing shouted.

But still, no one.

"Oh my god, could something have really happened?" Sun Sainan said, instinctively wanting to go and rescue.

Xiong Jianwei followed closely behind. He didn't care about Lu Nanfang's life or death, but the bracelet was of great significance to Qinghua Country and the Alliance.

Geng Zhixing saw this and had no choice but to follow. Otherwise, he would be worried if something happened to his two teammates.

Seeing that the three men not only did not retreat but rushed forward instead, Li Sikai became anxious and sped up his pace in the quagmire.

He could probably guess what his teammates were thinking, but he couldn't reveal the secret of the space in public. Moreover, he had deliberately led people to mistakenly believe that the bracelet was a carrier.

Tong Xianbao was afraid, and after a moment's hesitation, he decided to give up. Anyway, with the guards there, the bracelet would not be lost.

But he was unlucky. He couldn't see the road clearly in the dark night, and he lost his way while walking. Then, he let out a scream exactly the same as Lu Nanfang's.

This time, the guards saw clearly that this quagmire could actually eat people!

They hurried to rescue Tong Xianbao.

It’s not that they didn’t want to save Lu Nanfang, but that woman didn’t leave any trace at all, so they had no idea where to start even if they wanted to.

And Tong Xianbao was still struggling, with a clear direction.

But they didn’t expect that Tong Xianbao disappeared before they even got there.

"Damn it, did you go on a date with Zhou Gong during training? You don't even know how to save yourself?"

"Even an idiot knows that the more you struggle, the faster you sink!"

Xiong Jianwei and Sun Sainan cursed but kept rushing over. No matter how harsh the words were, they had been security guards for so many years that their first reaction when they encountered an accident was to rescue.

After much difficulty, they found the location where Tong Xianbao was drowning. They were all very cautious, fearing that they would be drowned as well.

Xiong Jianwei was groping in the mud and accidentally got his arm scratched by glass. He hissed and thought that he might lose his life for such a bastard thing.

What can he do? It has come to this point, and it is obviously impossible to ask him to give up.

I endured the pain and wandered around in the mud, and finally I touched a round head.

Damn, Tong Xianbao has been stuck in the mud for thirty or forty centimeters. He should have died a long time ago, right?

Xiong Jianwei bent down slightly, and ran his hands down along the head. He finally found the armpit, and with his hands crossed, he pulled it up with all his strength.

But he couldn't pull it!

"Lao Geng, I found someone, but I can't pull him out. Come and help me!"

"Hey, here I come, hold on."

"There's broken glass here, be careful when you come over here."

"Oh my god, how can I be careful? It's hard to guard against!" Geng Zhixing wanted to say something, but he stepped on empty air and felt falling.

"Ahhh, I've been tricked. What the hell is this quagmire? Why are there so many pits?"

"This place wasn't a swamp before, so why is it eating people?"

Geng Zhixing kept talking, but he was not panicked at all.

He stretched out his hands to maintain his balance, and after stopping falling, he looked at Xiong Jianwei helplessly.

"Brother, I'm sorry, my ability is limited..."
