Chapter 223 Floating Corpse
Chapter 223 Floating Corpse

"Alas, a group of young people, they really don't believe in evil. They want to go anywhere else to have fun, but they have to go to that damn place."

Old Li led the way while muttering to himself.

Bai Yanliang and the other four had been walking in the mountains and forests for most of the day. In terms of time, it had been at least three hours.

Fortunately, the five of them all had very good physical fitness and exercised on weekdays. Although they were a little tired after traveling through the mountains and forests, they were still able to move their legs.

The person who really needs to be worried is Uncle Li, who took two thousand yuan from Yu Wenxuan and immediately started leading the way without saying a word.

But after walking for another hour, everyone found that their worries were unnecessary.

This old man in his sixties is not only in good health, but also more agile than young people.

"Uncle Li, how long will it take to get to Zhongyuan Village?"

Jiang Li wiped the sweat off her forehead and asked, saying that in terms of physical strength, she was the worst among the group.

Xu Zhifei, who looked pale and frail, walked for four hours without even breaking a sweat.

"We're almost there!" Old Li held a branch and pushed aside the leaves that bound his feet, saying, "After we climb over the hill ahead, we'll see a river. Follow that river and we'll be there in half an hour!"

That means it will take at least another hour to get there.

It would take half a day just to walk there. Zhongyuan Village... in what deep mountain or forest is it...

Jiang Li stopped talking and saved his energy.

After the five people followed Old Li and climbed up a hill again, Old Li stopped.

"Look, that's the river. Just go straight along the river. I won't go there."

Old Li rubbed his hands and said.

Everyone looked forward following the direction of Old Li's finger, and indeed they saw a sparkling river.

The river water is not turbulent, but clear and bright, like a jade belt tied to the mountainside.

However, Jiang Li suddenly let out a scream.

"what!!!"

"What's wrong?" Lu Guo asked hurriedly.

Everyone looked at her, only to see Jiang Li's face pale, lips blue, pointing at the river, trembling and saying: "You...you look at the lower reaches of the river..."

Downstream...

Bai Yanliang looked towards the downstream of the river that Jiang Li mentioned, and suddenly, even he stopped breathing!
That is... Jiang Li? !

I saw a person floating on the river surface downstream, floating up and down with the water!

Her whole body was swollen, her skin was pale, her eyes were wide open, and her mouth was open, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

Although they were far away, judging from their clothes and figure, it was clearly Jiang Li!

Jiang Li has become a corpse!
Jiang Li was so frightened that his legs went limp.

According to what Old Li said, they had to keep walking along the river for another half an hour.

But before they left, Jiang Li's "corpse" floated out from the direction of the village.

"Wait, look!"

Just as everyone was feeling chilled by the bizarre scene before them, Lu Guo pointed upstream again and said tremblingly, "That's us!"

Bai Yanliang, Xu Zhifei, and Yu Wenxuan had actually already seen the corpses slowly floating towards them.

Soon, they found themselves.

He looked exactly like Jiang Li, his whole body was swollen, his eyes and mouth were wide open, and his face was distorted with fear.

"Oh! I'm not going either... I've already told you there's a problem, I'm not going, I'm not going... I'm not going no matter how much money you pay me."

When Old Li saw this illusory scene, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he refused to move forward no matter what.

He was about to run away when he was caught by Yu Wenxuan.

Yu Wenxuan has no intention of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

He stared at Old Li, without getting angry or yelling, but just said normally: "We agreed to bring you to Zhongyuan Village, not even a meter less, understand?"

Old Li felt a chill on his neck, and the young man's narrowed eyes frightened him. He looked for help at the two women who seemed to be easily moved.

However, Jiang Li didn't notice him at all because of fear, but after Xu Zhifei took a look at Old Li, Old Li got goose bumps.

As a last resort, he looked at Bai Yanliang and Lu Guo again, hoping that these two young men would let him go.

Lu Guo did show some reluctance and was ready to speak for love.

But Bai Yanliang intentionally or unintentionally took a step forward and stood between Lu Guo and Old Li.

"If you promise, you must do it."

Bai Yanliang tilted his head and looked at Old Li and said.

Old Li swallowed his saliva, his heart trembling, but he had to nod.

I wouldn't have been greedy for this little money...

What kind of people are these?

The five of them calmed down for a while and continued on their way.

Coming down from the top of the mountain, the wind in the forest passed by my ears, like the roar of wild beasts in the mountains, or like strange and inexplicable cries.

When we arrived at the river, the weeds were even taller.

Old Li used the branch to knock left and right, and opened a path.

Five people walked through the grass. The weeds were already higher than their knees. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time.

Next to them was the river they had just passed. The thought that it was in this river that their five bodies had just floated away made people feel a chill in their hearts.

This is so weird...

It was already past noon.

It took half a day just to walk.

The weeds along the river bank grew thicker and thicker, and the strange noises became more and more frequent.

Occasionally, when I stepped on the grass, I would feel something moving, and everything around me seemed to be slowly changing...

Bai Yanliang, who was walking at the end, had a more profound experience of this.

More than once he felt that something was watching him. When he walked through the grass, the branches and weeds were like pairs of strong hands, making every step he took more and more difficult.

"We're almost there. We'll see the village after we turn the corner ahead."

Old Li's emotions seemed unstable. He looked very nervous and his breathing became much more rapid.

Xu Zhifei turned around and glanced at Bai Yanliang who was walking at the end.

"Be careful."

Her voice was as cold as a stone that had been frozen for decades, and there was no trace of concern in it.

Bai Yanliang didn't care. He nodded and looked at the river beside him.

From the beginning, he noticed that... the river was not moving.

The river was clearly flowing before, but as it went upstream, its flow rate became slower and slower.

By now...it was completely motionless.

Yu Wenxuan seemed to have noticed this as well.

He stared at the river surface, where even the mountain breeze could not create a ripple, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Neither Bai Yanliang nor Yu Wenxuan told anyone else about this discovery for the time being.

At this time, Old Li's pace suddenly quickened.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry…” Old Li’s voice was trembling. He suddenly increased his speed and made Lu Guo, who was walking in the second place, unable to catch up for a while!
Yu Wenxuan's eyes focused, he pushed Lu Guo away and rushed over to catch up with Old Li.

However, Old Li happened to walk to the bend of the river, where there was a mountain pass. When Yu Wenxuan also rushed around the corner, he suddenly stopped.

This river, which was like stagnant water, was still extending forward, but... a village appeared in the depression at the foot of the mountain in front of us.

Old Li...is gone.
