Chapter 034 Push Her Down
The distance was too far and it was night, so the team members did not notice the abnormality of the sand ahead.
They were all staring at Jiang He.
His eyes were strange, nervous, expectant and disdainful.
Ghost Glove continued in a very low voice, "Release your charm ability towards the southwest."
Jiang He glanced to the southwest and saw no other living things except the strange sand.
What did Ghost Glove see?
Or, what does he know? What is in the sand? He seems to know it very well.
The others became even more nervous and took a step back, fearing that they would also be affected by Jiang He's charm.
Jiang He nodded obediently, as if she didn't notice the dagger in the ghost glove pressed against her waist and back.
Draw a semicircle in the air with your left hand, and push forward with your right hand.
It was very powerful. Liang Dao felt that if she shouted loudly with sound effects, it would be even more powerful like a tidal wave.
This woman's ability to seduce others seemed quite powerful. But then I thought, if it weren't so powerful, how could a woman like her survive in the training camp until now?
Ghost Gloves remained silent for a moment, his ears moving slightly, listening to the movement in the distance. After a moment, he said with a hint of displeasure, "Release again."
Jiang He was very obedient. He made a semicircle with his left hand and pushed forward with his right hand.
She felt awkward the first time she did it, but now she is doing it smoothly and thinks her movements are quite graceful.
From the corner of her eye, she saw everyone staring at her nervously, not daring to breathe.
Jiang He decided to buy two and get one free. He drew a third semicircle, but before he could push forward with his right hand, the ghost glove suddenly shouted, "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly."
Ghost Glove took a deep breath, quickly retreated, and questioned Jiang He, "Why doesn't your charm work on it?"
Jiang He was also retreating quickly. Hearing Ghost Gloves' question, she silently answered in her heart: Because I made false advertising!
As Ghost Gloves finished his warning, sand from a hundred meters away swept in like a wave, and in a blink of an eye it was in front of everyone. After arriving, the sand rolled and a huge sand man emerged.
The lower body of the sandman is integrated with the sand, while the upper body looks like a human made of sand, with not only a head and facial features, but also hands.
The Sandman spread his hands and roared with his mouth wide open.
It sprayed dense sand at the crowd from its mouth, and its open hands gathered strong winds, rolling the sand towards the crowd.
The seemingly ordinary sand made everyone scream in pain when it fell on them.
The fine sand was like a sharp hidden weapon, poking bloody holes in their bodies.
Blood splashed out from the blood hole and fell into the sand. The sand dyed red by the blood instantly expanded into small red balls, bouncing excitedly and continuing to shoot towards people.
They seemed to have eyes. Wherever people ran, they would hit them. When they hit people, a huge bloody puddle would immediately form. The blood would ooze into the sand again, swelling into more small red balls. This cycle would repeat...
After a brief howl, the team members were shouted at by Ghost Gloves, "Don't retreat, they are chasing faster, stop them!"
Everyone then calmed down and used their distortion abilities to fight back.
The Stone Man stood in the front, his hard body impervious to the sand and blood, stepping into the sand against the strong wind.
The sand was like silt, and once his feet stepped into it, they sank into it, and once they sank in, they were absorbed and wrapped tightly in it. The stone old man would not be hurt by the sand, but every step he took was very difficult.
The wind and sand grew stronger and stronger, blowing into his seven orifices, making him uncomfortable and angry. He took a deep breath, shouted suddenly, pulled out his foot with force, and rushed in front of the sand man.
His fist smashed down like a huge rock, hitting the sandman's head all the way to his body.
The sandman's body collapsed into a pile of loose sand in an instant, but soon, the sand rolled and tried to rise again into a sandman.
Before the sand could reshape itself into a sandman, Tieshu charged forward. His ten fingers rapidly grew longer and thinner, and like his fingers, his entire body grew longer and whiter. His fingers whistled like noodles in a strong wind, swirling through the sandman. His entire body, due to his lengthening, became extremely unstable.
It's like a white inflatable man, swaying and ready to fall down at any time.
The blood-stained sand on the ground was beaten into powder by the hand that had transformed into a knife.
Jiang He looked at these talented people with some surprise.
Tieshu has a very long body, with long arms, legs and body, and even longer fingers on both hands. When Jiang He saw him for the first time, he thought that this guy must have his feet hanging under the bed when he slept at night.
Previously, Tieshu used his outstretched arms to help 4825 dig out mosquitoes and mosquito eggs from his body, which gave her an intuitive understanding of this guy's abilities.
Now he is staring at his ten noodle hands intently. With such a pair of hands that can stir up the world, there is no need to worry about not achieving great things.
Jiang He was also surprised when the knife-wielding knife-wielding man appeared. She didn't expect that the man was as his name suggested and actually had a pair of hands that could be deformed into long knives.
Most of the deformed people have animal attributes. There are very few deformed people like Liang Dao who can deform their hands into machetes.
Even Gui Gloves' eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Liang Dao's hands transformed into long swords.
In comparison, Tongba 2671, which is inseparable from Liangdao, looks a bit unremarkable.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the sandmen finally stopped appearing, and all the blood balls were broken. They seemed to be standing in an ordinary desert, seemingly without any danger.
No one dared to breathe until they were sure that the sand had stopped rolling.
2671 asked with lingering fear, "What is this thing? Was it beaten to death?"
"I can't kill him." Changzi snorted coldly, "He's just temporarily weak. He'll be back in half an hour."
The sandmen have only appeared in this area in the past two days. Because they are just a pile of sand, they cannot be destroyed or killed. Unlike the distorted plants and distorted objects, they do not drop crystal cores. They are useless and cannot be killed, which makes them annoying.
After bandaging the wounds on his body, Ghost Gloves reminded everyone: "Don't let your blood drip on the sand, it will speed up the recovery of the Sandman."
Upon hearing this, everyone wrapped the wound more tightly.
Ghost Gloves glanced at Jiang He, who was silent and almost ignored, and asked, "Why didn't the Sand Man attack you?"
Just now, everyone was busy dealing with the sand man, and no one noticed Jiang He.
After the ghost gloves reminded everyone, they realized that Jiang He did not have any wounds on his body.
The sand man's sand attacks were everywhere. Except for the Stone Old Man, everyone had more or less bloody holes on their bodies. How come this guy was not injured?
Jiang He: "My charm ability is working."
"Bullshit!" Changzi, who had the most violent temper, rushed over and tried to kick Jiang He. "We're already like this, your charm is useless."
Jiang He dodged his kick by leaning to the side, and said helplessly, "My ability is limited, so it can't have a large-scale effect."
After she said that, everyone realized that even if the charm ability worked, it would only prevent the sand people from attacking her, and everyone else could continue to do what they had to do.
In fact, most people's abilities are like this and cannot radiate to others. For example, Big Head can only change his own smell.
The people who learned the truth were even more angry. Although the logic was correct, they were misled in the beginning and thought that this pretty boy could still be of some use.
It turns out that this person is just a useless burden!
"Stop arguing, let's go." Ghost Gloves stopped Changzi from kicking Jiang He again, "Time is limited, we need to hurry."
The wound on his face that was pierced by sand was burning with pain. Although Changzi wanted to blow the pretty boy's brains out, he finally endured it in the face of the warning look in Ghost Gloves' eyes.
Because Jiang He was "useless", even 2671 and Liang Dao stopped approaching her this time.
Jiang He was left behind. Ghost Glove would look back from time to time and urge her, "Hurry up, don't fall behind."
Seeing her slow pace, Changzi was so angry that he walked from the front of the team to the back, kicked Jiang He, and cursed, "You're looking for death by dawdling!"
Jiang He was still walking forward, and she seemed not to see Changzi's kick.
Changzi's leg skills were impressive; his distortion abilities were all in his legs. Everyone was worried for Jiang He; if he got kicked, he'd definitely break a few ribs.
But he also felt a little gloating in his heart. After joining the team, Captain Ghost Gloves would give him a first-level crystal core.
People like them are all capable, and obtaining crystal cores is a match for their strength, but this pretty boy in front of them actually relies on seducing men to absorb yang and replenish yang to absorb abilities.
If you go with this kind of person, you will always have to worry about when he will be raped.
It would be fine if Changzi's kick could make the opponent inhumane, after all, judging from the direction, the kick was aimed at the opponent's kidney.
Jiang He took another step forward, and when Changzi's foot was about to kick her waist, she raised her hand slightly and grabbed his ankle.
Grab it, pull it, and throw it out!
Changzi was thrown into the air like a ball, and then fell into the sand with a thud.
The impact of the fall was so strong that it blew a big hole in the sand.
Jiang He's hands didn't move much, but his speed was very fast.
Everyone was watching with the intention of enjoying the show, but they didn't see how Jiang He moved.
In their eyes, Jiang He just raised his hand, and Changzi flew out like a cannonball.
"Pull him out quickly." Ghost Gloves was the first to react and shouted to everyone.
Old Man Shi jumped out of the sand pit, picked up Changzi and rushed upwards.
The sand began to collapse, the pit became deeper and deeper, and the sand above the pit poured into the pit.
Seeing that Old Man Shi and Changzi were about to be buried in the sand, Ghost Gloves took a deep breath and then took off one of his gloves. In an instant, his hand cast a huge black shadow on the sand. The black shadow hand seemed to have its own consciousness. It bent its five fingers and quickly climbed into the sand pit, grabbed Changzi and Old Man Shi and threw them out of the sand pit.
The ghost gloves quickly put on their own gloves the next moment, and the huge shadow hand disappeared in an instant.
Several new members of the team widened their eyes in astonishment. The training camp was already full of prisoners with various abilities, and ordinary prisoners without any abilities were not qualified to come here.
They had seen many strange and bizarre abilities, but this was the first time they had seen something like the Ghost Gloves.
The captain was so awesome that they became more and more convinced that if any team could successfully dig out the crystal core of the golden thorn this time, that team would definitely be them.
Ghost Glove ignored the gazes of amazement and admiration from the crowd. He glanced at Jiang He and rushed forward without looking back: "Run."
The sand pit that Changzi had just dug was still sinking, spreading like radiation in all directions, and was about to spread to their feet. Without Ghost Gloves' shouting, everyone was running for their lives.
When they finally ran out of the "desert area", they were exhausted and looked at each other, and finally looked at the culprit Jiang He.
Jiang He was also panting heavily. She ran quite fast. Although she was the last one, she was not swallowed by the sand pit.
Ghost Glove's gaze fell on her, "Didn't you say your charm worked on the Sandman?"
Why is she still afraid of the collapsed sand pit now?
Jiang He: "Oh, I can feel that the charm has lost its effect after you killed the Sandman. The charm is aimed at the Sandman, not the sand pit."
The lie was so plausible and well-founded that even Jiang He himself believed it.
Ghost Gloves: "What happened to Changzi just now?"
After resting, Changzi rushed over and grabbed Jiang He's clothes to lift him up. "You almost killed me just now."
Jiang He: "I'm sorry I'm a little too strong."
Although he said sorry, it was not sincere at all, and seemed more like a perfunctory response.
Who says sorry in training camp?
The word "sorry" doesn't exist in training camp.
Everyone got goosebumps after hearing this, and felt that Jiang He's "apology" was a blatant mockery and provocation of Changzi.
Wow, you’re so brave.
Changzi yelled at Jiang He, "Shut up! Don't talk to me in that effeminate voice! I won't buy it."
Jiang He patted the back of his hand, "Put me down."
She was lifted almost a foot off the ground, but she didn't kick or struggle. Her body was straight as if she was still standing on the ground. When she patted the back of Changzi's hand, her expression and tone made people feel that she was making a trivial request to someone she knew.
This pretty boy didn't even beg for mercy and even dared to order Changzi around.
Everyone thought that with Changzi's hot temper, he would punch the pretty boy in the face.
Changzi pursed his lips and said nothing. His heartbeat was quickening. Soon, he even felt his blood flowing rapidly, not because of excitement, but because of an inexplicable fear.
There was no fear in the other person's eyes, they were clear and bright, and he just looked at him quietly.
But there was a bottomless darkness in his eyes.
He vaguely recalled the third-level deformed beast he had seen at the bottom of the mine. The deformed beast was lurking in the shadows, staring at him and his companions quietly. No matter how his companions attacked, the eyes of the third-level deformed beast remained calm.
That look is like the contempt of higher species for lower species.
Later, the third-level mutant beast jumped up, but in just a moment, Changzi didn't even see how the third-level mutant did it, and all his companions were dead.
The third-level mutant beast easily dealt with his companions and chewed the snacks that his companions had put in their mouths. Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, they were really just snacks.
He managed to escape due to his special distortion ability.
The look in the eyes of that third-level mutant beast is still Changzi's nightmare.
People hunt the deformed beasts as prey, but in the eyes of the deformed beasts, people are also prey.
Ghost Glove said, "Changzi, let him go."
Changzi was in a trance, still angry, but perhaps because he was used to following the orders of the ghost gloves, he had already released his hand from the other's neck.
Jiang He landed steadily on the ground. There were bruises on her neck. Changzi's grip was very strong, but she didn't care. Instead, she lowered her head and used her hands to straighten her torn collar.
Her reaction amazed everyone. It turned out that people with no ability could be so cowardly to a certain level.
Ghost Glove: "Don't stop, keep moving forward."
The sand was spreading towards them again. Thinking of how scary the sand was, everyone lost interest in watching the show and hurriedly followed the ghost gloves.
Liang Dao approached Jiang He stealthily and asked in a low voice, "Did you just use charm on Changzi?"
Jiang He: ???
Liang Dao: "You're amazing! Even a hot-tempered person like Changzi can be influenced by you. Have you used it on me too?"
Jiang He glanced at his hands: "Guess."
Liang Dao nodded to show that he understood. He knew Jiang He was a woman and was not that repulsive to her, but he became more alert in his heart.
He didn't know whether the opponent's skills would "harvest/replenish yang and replenish yin" at the same time when used, and he didn't want to be used as a tonic.
After catching up with his companions, 2671 whispered to Liang Dao, "What did she say?"
Liang Dao: "She admitted it. She is very confident in herself. Her charm must be extremely powerful. We have to keep our distance from her."
At the same time, Tieshu also whispered to Changzi, "What happened to you just now? Were you not seduced by that pretty boy?"
Changzi shook his head: "How is that possible?"
But he himself was not sure. The other party almost killed him, and he should have broken her neck just now.
Seeing his murderous look, Tieshu whispered again, "Don't touch him yet, he might be useful."
Changzi: "What if he does something bad to us?"
After all, the opponent's ability is so great that even if you are hit, you won't be able to detect it.
"Stay away from him." Ghost Glove said, "Keep your distance."
In this team of eight, Changzi, Tieshu, Shilaoren and Guituozi are obviously familiar with each other and often work together, while the others are new recruits.
Out of the desert, there is a sewage river.
The water in the river was pitch black, darker than the night sky. If Ghost Glove hadn't said it was a sewage river, everyone would have thought it was the ground.
Changzi stood on the river bank and probed with a long stick. The water was very deep and sticky, like black mud. The difference from mud was that the sewage emitted a strong stench.
Even though they were used to the pungent smell of the Jun stone in the mine, they still couldn't help but retching when they smelled the sewage rushing into their noses.
No wonder there is no grass growing in the area near the sewage river. The plants probably can't stand such a pungent smell.
"What's that smelly? Are there corpses in there?"
"The wastewater produced by refining Jun," Tieshu said, "those chaebols don't want to spend money to purify the wastewater, so they just discharge it along this river. Planet A62 is already polluted everywhere anyway, so a little wastewater won't hurt.
The old man said in a loud voice, "Black-hearted bastards, I will break their necks sooner or later."
"Stop talking nonsense." Tieshu glanced at him sideways, "Protect your own neck first."
If it were so easy to have the chaebol's necks twisted, people like them wouldn't have been sent here.
"Don't talk." Ghost Gloves, who was looking at the map, looked up and stared at the sewage in front of him with a frown.
Jiang He followed his gaze and saw that the surface of the sewage river was as quiet as an asphalt road. Apart from the darker color, it didn't look like a river at all.
It was so quiet, the river wasn't even flowing, like a dead river.
The excessive silence feels eerie.
Jiang He moved slightly and retreated.
Suddenly, Ghost Gloves' face changed drastically as if he had noticed something, and he quickly retreated.
When the others saw him retreat, they followed suit, looking warily at the sewage river ahead.
The sewage river that looked stagnant just now was now like boiling water, bubbling out small black bubbles, and you could vaguely see the water vapor lingering above the bubbles.
The bubbles coming out of the sewage river are black, and the lingering water vapor is also black.
The bubbles are dense and small. At first, they are just small bubbles similar to gravel. The fine bubbles cover the sewage layer by layer.
Changzi whispered to Ghost Glove, "What the hell is this? Can we avoid this sewage river?"
Ghost Glove shook his head, "There's no way around it, we can only go through here."
He glanced at everyone and paused at Jiang He. "We have to wade through the river. You go in first to explore the way."
As the captain, he has the right to arrange the team members.
Since you have joined the team, everyone is expected to follow the captain's instructions.
Of course there are exceptions. If the captain is not capable enough to manage his teammates, he will become a figurehead captain.
The Ghost Gloves are clearly quite capable.
When he said this, his friends all stared at Jiang He with eager eyes.
A fierce attitude of "either go down or die".
They displayed the captain's authority to the fullest, and they probably did this often in the past.
But Jiang He ignored the people around Ghost Gloves. She met Ghost Gloves's gaze and asked, "Captain, what did you just say?"
Considering her serious attitude and calm mood, it seemed that she really didn't hear the serious question.
Ghost Gloves patiently explained to her gently, "As you can see, this sewage river surrounds the entire factory. If we want to retrieve the Golden Thorn's core, we must wade through it. Someone must go down first to explore the river and see how deep it is. In my opinion, you're the most suitable person. After all, if there are aberrations in the sewage river, you can use your charm skill."
After a pause, he added, "But the sewage river is so calm, it looks like a dead river. There shouldn't be any aberrations in it."
Jiang He listened to his analysis carefully and quietly, and nodded in agreement.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This guy with little ability should take the lead and make some contribution to everyone.
Black Gloves realized he had said too much. He was very satisfied with Jiang He's attitude and said to her, "Take the long stick in Changzi's hand. It's easier to walk in the river with a stick."
"Thank you." Jiang He thanked him politely for his thoughtfulness.
"It stinks." Jiang He then calmly rejected it, "I find it dirty."
In everyone's eyes, Jiang He was standing there straight. In the dim night, the clean and reserved temperament of "him" was like a young master kept in a golden cage by the consortium, innocent and naive.
Everyone: ...Where do you think you are? Who do you think you are? No one wants to be seduced by you now. We are all dead.
If I ask you to go, you have to go. Do you think you have the right to refuse?
Thanks! It would be fine if this idiot provoked Changzi, but he actually dared to provoke Ghost Gloves.
Ghost Gloves still maintained a gentle and approachable expression on his face, but his eyes had visibly turned cold, and he stared at Jiang He expressionlessly.
Changzi was furious: "You are looking for death. If you don't listen to the captain and go into the river, I will smash you into a pulp."
The iron tree beside him also said: "The captain has already said that there is no danger in the river, and everyone of us has to wade through the river, not just you. This sewage river is very smelly, and we hate it, but there is no other way. If we want to get the golden thorn, we have to endure this little smell."
He looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone is ready to risk their lives for the golden thorns. This little bit of stench is nothing, don't you think?"
Everyone nodded and glared at the ungrateful Jiang He. "You think this little bit of sewage stinks? Ha, where do you think you live?"
Jiang He tilted his head slightly and stared at his hands with his eyes downcast.
It seemed like he didn't hear what everyone said, and he didn't intend to be the first to wade into the dirty water.
The ghost gloves were still staring at her, his eyes looking at a dead person. His gloved fingers slowly pressed together, making a slight friction sound.
It turned out to be a pair of leather gloves. Jiang He glanced at it following the sound, and was very curious where he could find leather gloves in a place like a training camp.
Tieshu grabbed Changzi, who was about to smash Jiang He to pieces, and said to Guishou, "How about this? I'll try to reach the other side."
Tieshu's hands can be stretched infinitely. They appear to be as soft as ramen noodles, but are actually very tough and can become hard or soft according to his wishes.
If his hand could reach the other side, no one would have to wade through the dirty water.
He turned to look at the crowd, "But there's a condition for me to send people to the other side. Everyone has to pay me 100 points."
Old Man Shi was the first to speak out: "Of course it would be best if I didn't have to wade through this dirty water. I'm so heavy, I'll give you 200 points. If you get the Golden Thorn, these 200 points will be nothing."
Everyone responded and agreed to pay Tieshu 100 points.
"Okay." Ghost Glove nodded and said to Iron Tree in a gentle voice, "Alright, then you try it first. Stay alert. Although this sewage doesn't look dangerous, it's always better to be cautious. If you can't reach it, retract it as soon as possible and don't stretch it any further."
The iron tree's deformation has exceeded 50%, and its body can no longer return to its true human form. Continuing to stretch his fingers infinitely will only make him taller and taller.
Tieshu nodded, feeling very grateful for the thoughtful advice from Ghost Gloves. "Well, I'll pay attention to it."
He stopped as he passed Jiang He and said, "Oh, if you're afraid of death, don't come to a place like this."
Jiang He: "Oh, you're right."
She seemed not to realize that Tieshu was talking about her, and answered calmly and fluently.
How can someone be so cowardly and shameless?
The key is that she is still pretending.
We are all prisoners who are willing to die, why are you being treated so specially here?
Everyone: ...I am increasingly displeased with this guy.
I wanted to beat her to death right there.
But seeing that Captain Ghost Gloves did not express his opinion, everyone silently endured it.
Tieshu walked to the river and began to stretch out his hands quickly.
As his fingers grew longer and longer, his whole body also became longer and thinner, like a stretched rubber band, but his rubber band was special, with hands, feet, and facial features.
His skin also became whiter and whiter.
Jiang He discovered that every time Tieshu "stretched" himself, his skin would turn white, like white noodles, and the inside was also white, without any red blood.
"It seems I can reach the other side." Tieshu turned around and said happily to Ghost Gloves, "I never thought that one day my ability would be used in this way."
Suddenly, with a "bang", a super large black bubble appeared in the sewage river full of dense bubbles.
Maybe it didn't appear suddenly.
When everyone forced Jiang He to wade through the sewage, the dense bubbles on the surface of the sewage river devoured each other, merged into one, and the small bubbles gradually became fewer and larger.
Gradually, they turned into big bubbles, and the big bubbles continued to devour each other silently.
This reminded Jiang He of the advanced male iron-eating ant.
That thing devoured its own kind over and over again, and finally became the strongest male iron-eating ant.
At this moment, in everyone's sight, the black bubbles continued to expand and grow.
It's inexplicable how there could be such a big bubble, with a diameter of one meter.
Just when everyone was confused, a black fish head suddenly popped out from the top of the bubble. The black fish head opened its big mouth and bit the iron tree's finger that was resting above the sewage river.
The black fish's mouth was wide open, almost splitting open at the back of its head. Of the 360-degree head, 300 degrees were split open. Its teeth were half a foot long, and each tooth was sharp and white.
This was a deformed fish. Everyone's heart trembled, and they were so frightened by the hideous appearance of the black fish's head that they dared not breathe.
When the big black bubbles appeared, the black gloves warned the iron tree, "Be careful."
Tieshu glanced at the black bubbles and raised his fingers. His fingers were now two meters away from the surface of the sewage. When the black fish head in the bubbles emerged, Tieshu was startled, but fortunately it was more than one meter away from his fingers. He felt a little relieved and raised his fingers a little higher.
His fingers were about to touch the other side, and he didn't want to retract them at this time. After all, every time he retracted them and they became deformed, it would cause great damage to his body.
He thought that the distance he kept between himself and the black fish's head was large enough, and even if the black fish could jump up, it would not be able to reach his finger.
As he thought, the black fish head really jumped out of the bubble. As he expected, even if it jumped very high, it could not touch his fingers.
Tieshu felt a little proud.
But the next moment, something strange happened. A small black fish head jumped out of the mouth of the black fish head. It also opened its mouth wide and revealed sharp teeth. The small black fish head seemed to be taking over the jump of the big black fish. It jumped out of the mouth of the big black fish, jumped very high and very fast, and bit one of Tiezhu's fingers with lightning speed.
It was so fast, like an afterimage.
No one could have imagined that a small fish could jump out from the innermost part of the big black fish. How could a chain trap appear on the deformed beast?
The finger was bitten off, and the little fish head's sharp teeth bit the broken finger of Tieshu tightly.
"ah!"
Tieshu screamed miserably, and his whole body seemed to be suddenly pulled by someone. He lost his balance and stumbled into the sewage.
He was originally standing on the river bank, very close to the sewage river. If he fell, he would fall into the sewage.
Changzi, who was standing next to him, reflexively reached out and grabbed his arm.
The broken finger of the small black fish that was biting the iron tree fell into the mouth of the big black fish. The big black fish closed its mouth and dived into the black bubble.
A huge black bubble was sinking into the sewage, and Tieshu's broken finger was stuck in the bubble. When the black bubble sank, the finger was connected to his body, and his body was dragged into the sewage.
Changzi, who was holding him, was also unable to resist Bubble's strength, and the two of them stumbled towards the river together.
Seeing that their feet had stepped into the sewage, the sticky sewage was icy cold and spread to the insteps of their feet almost instantly. It felt like there were countless needles in the water, piercing into their feet and rushing into their flesh.
Suddenly, a knife slashed across and cut off the finger that was tightly bitten by the black fish head in front of Tieshu's arm.
Because the tug-of-war over a finger ended suddenly, one end of the finger was swallowed by the black bubble, and the other end hung on Tieshu's hand with blood.
I have to say that Liang Dao's knife skills are very good. Tie Shu's ten fingers were all long and slender and put together in a row. They were as thin as noodles and difficult to distinguish. Liang Dao only cut off the finger that was held by the black fish's head, and the other fingers were not damaged at all.
At the same time, 2671 grabbed Changzi and Tieshu, pulled them out from the edge of the sewage, and threw them onto the river bank.
"Ah!" Tieshu screamed again because his fingers were cut off by the big knife. Because of the loss of the severed finger, his other fingers were retracting quickly, but they could not shrink to their previous length. The fingers hung long on his calves. The severed finger was one-third of the length of the other fingers, and blood was dripping from the broken part.
Jiang He noticed that his body had not recovered to its original height. He was originally tall and thin, but now he was even taller and thinner, like a long wooden stick.
Tieshu covered his severed finger and screamed a few times, then stared at the culprit fiercely and drew his knife.
I just cut off his fingers with a knife.
"Who told you to cut off my fingers?" He roared at Liang Dao, "You're looking for death."
Liang Dao was stunned for a moment, then became angry. He imitated his growling tone and shouted, "If I hadn't cut it off, you would have fallen into the sewage just now."
Tieshu didn't think so, "Damn it, my finger is not worth your fucking life."
Liang Dao: "If you think your finger is more important than your life, go look for your severed finger in the river now. Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. It's not like there's no trace of it."
Ghost Gloves came over at this time to smooth things over. "Stop talking. The situation just now was urgent. You and Changzi were almost dragged into the sewage. We don't know anything about the aberrations in the sewage. Liang Dao means well. Tieshu, you are injured, so rest first. Too much noise will attract aberrations. Be quiet."
Jiang He watched coldly from the side, without commenting on what Ghost Gloves said.
The ghost glove was closest to the iron tree. When the iron tree stretched its fingers toward the opposite river bank, the ghost glove kept staring at the movement on the water surface.
Others might not have been able to react in time at that moment, but Ghost Gloves had been staring at the black bubbles that kept devouring each other. Even Changzi could subconsciously pull the iron tree. It was impossible for Ghost Gloves not to react at that moment.
He did not come to the rescue.
According to Jiang He's observation, Tieshu is more meticulous than Changzi and better at smoothing things over than Shilaoren. He should be a rare deputy to Ghost Gloves. Even if Ghost Gloves wants to sacrifice someone, he should not choose to sacrifice Ghost Gloves.
Jiang He guessed that the ghost gloves might want to see how dangerous the distorted objects in the sewage were.
I want to see if the iron tree will be eaten by the deformed creature after falling in.
But why did he choose Ghost Gloves as his most capable deputy?
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes and the iron tree failed to fall into the sewage river. In a direction invisible to everyone, Ghost Gloves looked back at the sewage with a flicker of regret in his eyes.
It is now basically certain that there are distorted objects in the sewage river, and these distorted objects are difficult to deal with.
After all, they are all from dry land, and water is not an environment where they are good at fighting.
Someone suggested to Ghost Glove: "We can't stay here forever. Maybe we can go around the riverbank. Maybe we can find a bridge or a narrow area that we can jump over."
This is a good idea.
Ghost Glove shook his head. "This river was the same width and depth when it was first dug. The bridge leading into the factory was blown up by the prison guards some time ago. Now there's no other way but to wade across it."
"What about the other teams? How did they get through?" Old Man Shi said anxiously, "They couldn't have waded through too."
"Yeah, yeah, what about the other teams? How did they get into the factory?"
Because of the deformed objects in the sewage river, everyone started to talk about it and questioned this route.
"There are many ways to the factory, and each one is dangerous." Ghost Gloves was questioned as the team leader, but he was not angry.
He calmly responded, "I've explored the area several times before today, and using my own calculations, I've concluded that this is the easiest way to enter the factory, and it's also the closest to the Golden Thorn Crystal Core. Like everyone else, I'm here for the Golden Thorn Crystal Core, so of course I'll choose the path that's most beneficial to me."
His voice was extremely firm and confident. When everyone heard him say that this place was closest to the location of the "Golden Thorn Crystal Core", greed flashed in their eyes and the voices of doubt immediately disappeared.
Ghost Gloves looked at Jiang He and said, "It would be great if someone could help us explore the way and find out what the weaknesses of the blackhead fish in the sewage are."
Everyone was filled with enthusiasm because of his words, and their eyes were shining, as if they were about to get the crystal core of the golden thorn.
They all followed Ghost Glove's gaze and stared at Jiang He.
This coward who is afraid of death!
They showed dissatisfaction and indignation on their faces: This guy always breaks the rules. The captain has already spoken, why is "he" still silent?
Someone said, "If 0112 had followed the captain's instructions and explored the way, Iron Tree wouldn't have been hurt."
This remark resonated with everyone: "Pah!"
"Oh!"
…
They made all kinds of strange noises and glared at Jiang He angrily, speaking up for Tie Shu.
Jiang He stood with her hands behind her back, the wind blowing her loose prison uniform. She looked quite ethereal in the night.
Ugh!
This shameless pretty boy! He is so cowardly yet he still pretends to be cool.
Everyone looked at him with disdain, mixed with a bit of indignant jealousy.
They are all deformed people. Due to the deformation, they are becoming more and more "ugly" and gradually losing their human form. However, this guy can rely on the inferior "Yang-replenishing Yang" to become ethereal and more and more like a human.
He is obviously a coward, yet he has reached the level of an immortal. How come?
Someone muttered bitterly: "Just push him down."
Jiang He stretched out his hand and drew a semicircle.
Everyone fell silent. Oh no! This guy is going to use his charm skill! What I just said must have angered him.
They took a few steps back and put some distance between themselves and Tie Shu, who said he wanted to throw Jiang He into the sewage river.
The iron tree that was suddenly isolated:? ?
After Jiang He stretched his arms, he turned around and saw Tie Shu, who looked pale, and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Tie Shu's slender body was shaking as if blown by the wind. He stared at Jiang He, stared at him, and suddenly pounced on him, trying to push Jiang He into the sewage river.
He also felt that his finger was broken because of Jiang He.
Of course, there is also the guy named Liang Dao. Sooner or later, he will sacrifice his fingers with the other party's head.
Tie Shu's sudden pounce came without any warning, and everyone was startled. They all thought that Jiang He would be pushed into the sewage river before he could use his charm skill.
