"ah!"

“Help!”

As soon as Qin Xian finished speaking, the water in the river began to churn.

Lin Zimin emerged from the water first and swam desperately toward the shore, kicking his feet as he went.

The other players were screaming as if there were ghosts below.

"Su Deng!"

As soon as Lin Zimin got ashore, he glared at Su Deng through gritted teeth, his face pale and his eyes burning with rage.

"You fucking dare to screw me over!"

Su Deng raised an eyebrow, "What did I do to you?"

Lin Zimin gritted his teeth, "You tell me there's a key at the bottom of the river!"

Su Deng's lips curled into a cold smile. "That's true, but it doesn't seem like I was the one who told you to leave, did I?"

"you……"

"Want to fight?"

Lin Zimin thought about the terrifying scene he witnessed after jumping into the river and not finding the key. He felt even more that Su Deng was playing a trick on him. Just as he was about to use his skill, Liu Sangua took a step forward.

In fact, very few people have ever seen Liu Sangua make a move.

But he was renowned and ranked among the top three in the Spirit Realm rankings, so everyone subconsciously felt that he was very powerful and dared not provoke him.

Standing there, her figure appeared delicate and graceful, yet the cold and fierce aura she exuded sent chills down everyone's spines.

“Su Deng really didn’t let us go down…” Chen Wu pulled Lin Zimin back and warned him in a low voice, “If you want to kill Su Deng, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Right now, it’s best not to mess with Liu Sangua!”

Lin Zimin gritted his teeth and could only swallow his anger.

Of the other players who jumped down, only one hasn't climbed back up yet.

Those who climbed up were all pale-faced and terrified.

Qin Xian shrank his neck, "Could there really be a ghost in this river?"

"Where's Dashan? Where did Dashan go?"

"The mountain didn't come up!"

"The mountains!"

The team of players who hadn't made it up started shouting at the river.

After calling for a long time, no one answered, and there was no response from the river.

The churning river surface gradually calmed down.

"Judging from how scared they are, they might be even more terrifying than ghosts..." Qiao Zhi pursed her lips, "That player should be dead..."

Liu Sangua stared at the lake in thought, "Should I go down and take a look?"

Su Deng's gaze deepened. "I'll go."

"no!"

"Can't!"

Qin Xian and Su Muye spoke in unison, while Liu Sangua also disagreed.

Qiao Zhi frowned, "There might be some danger down there..."

Su Deng turned her head and said, "Take a look at the players on the other side."

Those players who had jumped into the water because of her words now looked at her menacingly after regaining their senses on the shore.

“They are angry but dare not speak out now because they are afraid of Liu Sangua. If Liu Sangua goes down, I guarantee that when he comes up, all he will see are our corpses.”

Although she won't die, the same applies.

Those people were just waiting for Liu Sangua to leave so they could be alone.

"Facing so many people, I don't have the ability to protect you." Su Deng said frankly, then asked Qiao Zhi and Qin Xian, "Can you?"

Qin Xian: "..."

Qiao Zhi: "..."

"But nobody knows what's in the water, it's too dangerous!" Qin Xian pursed his lips. "I can't let you go down there!"

Su Muyue grabbed Su Deng, "Mom, you can't go on a dangerous trip!"

Liu Sangua frowned. "I'll go down and take a look, then I'll come back up. No one can touch you."

Su Deng remained calm. "If there's any movement in this river, there must be clues to the key. Now that we've gone down there, we have to find out."

Seeing the disapproving looks on their faces, Su Deng paused, pinched Su Muye's cheek, and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, I won't die."

She won't die, so her going is the best option right now.

"But……"

“We don’t have time to waste.” Su Deng had already made up her mind and said directly, “Liu Sangua, please help me protect them.”

Liu Sangua looked at her for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Then be careful."

Su Deng nodded.

"Mother……"

"Qin Xian will take care of him for me."

Su Deng pulled her sleeve out of Su Muye's hand, stepped over the withered reeds, and leaped into the water as if diving.

She jumped into the river when she attempted suicide.

He was rescued.

The person who saved her is dead.

But she not only didn't die, she also learned to swim.

Every time Su Deng thinks about these things, she finds them absurd and laughable.

She wasn't an exceptional swimmer, but she wasn't bad either.

It can keep its eyes open underwater for several tens of seconds.

The moment Su Deng opened her eyes after diving into the water, her pupils dilated, and a chilling sensation, like an electric current, spread from her spine throughout her body. She almost forgot how to swim and choked on a mouthful of water.

The river is about four or five meters deep. It is somewhat murky from the surface, making it difficult to see what's in the water. However, even though it's blurry through the water, you can still make out the general shape of what's in the water.

The water plants swayed gently on the bottom of the water, and there were many stones, with a person tied to each stone.

...They were all babies!!

The exact number was unknown, but it was all within her sight, including eerie white skeletons the size of adults!

“Hehehe…”

“Wow wow wow…”

A sinister, grotesque laugh rang out, overlapping with the cries of infants. The sharp sound pierced straight to the brain. Su Deng suddenly turned around in the water and saw several infant corpses floating up behind her!

They weren't wearing any clothes!

Its skin was white from being soaked, and its bulging eyes, twice the size of a normal baby's, were rolling around in the water.

Among them was a man entangled in water plants, who, unsurprisingly, should be the player named "Dashan" from earlier. The infants bared their sharp milk teeth and gnawed at him, swallowing him bite by bite.
