The resilience of hair is unknown, but even the strongest hair cannot withstand the power of a scalpel, which is a deadly weapon.
After these strands of hair were cut off, they were like severed tentacles; they suddenly and swiftly retracted back to the bottom of the river, disappearing without a trace.
Fang Xiu was slightly angry. He hated this kind of weirdness the most. Not only did they pretend to be gods and ghosts, but they also ran away as soon as they were thwarted, which prevented him from enjoying the pleasure of killing the weird.
Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Xiu plunged straight into the riverbed. With his spiritual power activated, he moved as nimbly as a swimming fish.
Guided by the vision provided by his blood-red eyes, he followed the direction in which the hair had retracted.
Finally, upon reaching the bottom of the lake, he encountered the eerie entity.
That was a woman's corpse!
A female corpse dressed in white, her skin pale from being soaked in water, her face obscured as it was swollen and rotting.
Even the eyeballs had rotted away, leaving only two dark, empty holes.
The female corpse had a thick head of glossy black hair. The hair was very long and floated on the bottom of the water, scattered and constantly twisting. From a distance, it looked like a dense snake nest.
Fang Xiu's eyes grew increasingly excited, and his eerie blood-red pupil even began to gleam with a faint blood-red light.
He lunged straight at the female corpse.
Perhaps his actions angered the female corpse, for she suddenly opened her mouth, which had long since lost its lips, and let out a muffled roar.
Her hair, like thousands of water snakes, meandered and rushed towards Fang Xiu.
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Fang Xiu's movements were restricted in the water, so he naturally couldn't cut off all his hair with just a scalpel. However, he was not panicked at all, and a strange blood-red light emanated from his right eye.
Under the crimson light, the female corpse seemed to have been struck by a heavy hammer, letting out a shrill scream. Her hair, which had been spreading out like a tidal wave, seemed to be startled and suddenly retracted, just like an octopus retracting its tentacles as it swims.
Taking advantage of the female corpse's moment of agony, Fang Xiu became even more excited. He swam forward with all his might and swam directly to the female corpse.
He was already somewhat oxygen-deprived and felt a slight dizziness, but he still didn't stop. The strange thing was right in front of him, and he had to make the other party feel pain.
The female corpse seemed to sense the approaching danger, and stretched out her swollen, pale, and eerie hand, her expression ferocious, as she reached out to grab Fang Xiu.
But Fang Xiu didn't care at all. The excitement in his eyes was almost tangible, and even the calm expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by an unconscious, twisted, and sinister smile.
The next moment, the female corpse grabbed Fang Xiu's neck, her grip as cold and hard as an iron clamp.
A sharp, piercing pain combined with a feeling of suffocation washed over me.
But this not only failed to stop Fang Xiu's actions, but instead provoked him to become even more ferocious and terrifying.
Whoosh!
Fang Xiu fiercely swung the scalpel in his hand, the sharp blade slicing down from the female corpse's forehead as easily as cutting tofu.
His forehead, brow, nasal bone, and mouth all split open on the spot, forming wounds several centimeters deep.
Fang Xiu even saw the already rotting brain and bones in the wound.
With just this one blow, amplified by the Pain ability, the female corpse couldn't even let out a scream; her entire body convulsed violently as if electrocuted.
The hands that had been gripping his neck unconsciously released their grip.
Seeing the female corpse's painful appearance, Fang Xiu became even more excited. He didn't give the female corpse any time to recover and stabbed her again!
This cut is a horizontal one.
A cross was formed directly on the woman's face.
Anyone who has ever cut a watermelon knows that when you make a horizontal cut and a vertical cut, the watermelon will spread out like a flower.
At this point, the female corpse's head was in this position.
To protect the female corpse's life, Fang Xiu thoughtfully refrained from using too much pain power, wanting her to experience it slowly.
Unfortunately, with the second cut, the woman's body, which had been twitching, stopped moving and seemed to have truly become a corpse.
Dead? The strange entity capable of moving the river was so fragile?
Before Fang Xiu could react, the woman's hair seemed to come alive, instantly detaching from her head like a floating black ball, and swam away into the distance with a whoosh. It disappeared without a trace in just a moment.
Upon seeing this, a chill flashed in Fang Xiu's eyes. He understood that the female corpse was not the true form of the monster; the hair was.
He wanted to give chase, but he had reached his limit. The feeling of suffocation was becoming increasingly unbearable, and the dizziness in his brain was getting stronger and stronger. Helpless, he could only return to the water.
Thump!
Fang Xiu broke through the water.
Shen Lingxue and the others hurriedly looked over and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Fang Xiu. However, when they saw the deep red handprint on Fang Xiu's neck, they also showed worry.
"Brother Xiu, are you alright? What about that strange thing?" Zhao Hao asked anxiously.
Fang Xiu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before saying, "It got away. This strange thing seems to be hair."
"hair?"
"Let's not talk about that now. Let's take advantage of the strange escape and try to get ashore!" Shen Lingxue said anxiously.
The group nodded and then swam toward the shore.
This time, the shoreline did not retreat as before, but remained stationary.
Soon, Fang Xiu and the others dragged Liu Shuai, who was lying on the shore like a dead dog.
After getting ashore, the group didn't stop but ran a long way away from the shore before finally catching their breath.
"Save him first!" Shen Lingxue ordered, and then began to press on Liu Shuai's chest continuously until Liu Shuai vomited several mouthfuls of cold river water before she stopped.
But Liu Shuai was still unconscious and his face was pale.
“Liu Shuai needs artificial respiration now, who of you will do it?” Shen Lingxue’s gaze swept between Fang Xiu and Zhao Hao.
Fang Xiu remained expressionless, while Zhao Hao was horrified. He looked at the fat man's chubby lips and felt that he might as well just eat shit.
"Why didn't you come!" Zhao Hao retorted directly.
Shen Lingxue sneered, "Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? You two grown men are here, why should I do it?"
"Men and men shouldn't be allowed to kiss?" Zhao Hao shook his head desperately, every hair on his body radiating resistance.
At this moment, Fang Xiu walked towards Liu Shuai.
A strange light flashed in Shen Lingxue's eyes, while Zhao Hao was shocked and wanted to say something, but he was afraid that Fang Xiu would make him kiss her, so he stopped talking in the end.
Just when everyone thought Fang Xiu was going to perform CPR, unexpectedly...
Snap!
Fang Xiu slapped the fat man across the face with a powerful blow.
The fat man screamed and sat up abruptly from the ground.
"Ouch, who hit me!"
"He's awake already!?" Zhao Hao was dumbfounded.
Shen Lingxue's expression turned rather unpleasant. She stared at the fat man with a very dangerous look and said, "Were you just pretending to faint?"
The fat man immediately cried out that he was innocent: "What do you mean, faking fainting? What are you talking about? I really fainted."
