A Ning suddenly grabbed Gu Cheng, her face filled with terror. "There's something in the mud pool! It just crawled past my foot!"
Gu Cheng's heart immediately tightened.
The very thing he feared had happened!
He turned and shouted, "Everyone, be careful! There's something in the mud pool!"
But before he could finish, his expression abruptly changed as he looked behind Fatty.
A bald head had silently surfaced behind Fatty.
It followed behind Fatty, its savage eyes fixed on him and its mouth split in a grin. What chilled Gu Cheng was that its mouth was densely packed with two
rows of sharp teeth, like a shark's.
"Fatty! Watch out!"
Gu Cheng raised Ghost Soul and slashed toward Fatty.
Seeing Gu Cheng slash at him, Fatty knew he wasn't the target. He immediately sidestepped in perfect coordination, dodging Gu Cheng's blade.
Then he saw the bald head behind him.
That thing also saw Gu Cheng's blade. Startled, it abruptly sank into the mud.
But Gu Cheng's slash had already struck the spot where it submerged.
An utterly agonized scream rang out, so horrifying that it made everyone's scalp crawl.
Then that scream seemed to trigger a hunting frenzy.
One of Zhang Qiling's teammates suddenly lurched sideways. Before he could cry out, his entire body sank into the mud, leaving only one hand above the surface. Then
that hand could be seen moving rapidly into the distance.
Everyone immediately pictured him being dragged away by some creature beneath the mud.
Zhang Qiling was about to rescue him.
Suddenly, he too felt something grab his ankle.
Then it yanked hard.
Caught off guard, he lost his balance, toppled sideways, and was dragged into the mud.
Mud instantly filled his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.
Sight, hearing, smell... all of them were useless.
