Chapter 8, Flowers in Water (Part 2)

Jiang Xian squinted his eyes. After a few seconds, he spoke calmly: "I only ask where the true person is, not seeking the immortals in the mountains and seas"

Extremely fast, extremely loud

Without waiting for Zhao Yazhi to respond, he turned his back to Zhao Boli and walked towards the lakeside

Uh... uh... Zhao Yazhi's teeth were chattering, and her features were somewhat distorted: "The sun stepped on... uh's foot..."

Blood surged, and within a few short seconds, Zhao Yazhi had already fallen into the water. ... And right beneath him ... ... countless. ... ... Endless shadows were frantically converging upon his body

The sound reached its peak, and in an instant, the entire cave was filled with the sound of thousands of bats flapping their wings. Everyone's gaze turned in unison towards Jiang Xian. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Get in the water!"

At this moment, all the bats have also flown back into the shadows. The entire underground cave is enveloped in silence. Only the murky lake water is slowly clarifying, along with the three conscious individuals, their hearts racing.

Te Mu Lun, meeting Jiang Xian's gaze, suddenly smiled and softly said: "The fairyland of Penglai is in the mountains overseas, where the universe of yin and yang has its hidden realms"

Hearing this sound, Zhao Yazhi's hair stood on end. If it weren't for the professionalism of the police, he would have screamed by now. However, even so, he tightly covered his mouth, suddenly crouched down, and growled, "Bat swarm!"

Suddenly, with a muffled sound, Song Lianshi's body went limp, collapsing to the ground like a noodle. Jiang Xian and Temuren both let out a sigh of relief, wiping their sweat as they slumped down to sit.

The bat colony returns to the roost

Previously, Zhao Boli fainted and happened to fall on him, followed by a prolonged period of running at full speed. The sprained ankle had not received any rest, and the injury was already quite serious. Coupled with the physical strain exerted in a moment of urgency, he found himself unable to squat down for a time

"It seems like... is that the sound of water splashing?" Temulun said with confusion. Then, as if they both remembered something at the same time, they turned to look in the direction of Zhao Yazhi.

Yet, several meters behind him, several "flower clusters" had long since vanished without a trace

The deafening sound of thousands of bats flapping their wings is hard to imagine without having experienced it firsthand. It can even be described as magnificent. Under this immense wave of sound, other noises become rather indistinct.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

"Infiltration? Infiltrating a county police station? There is no need for that. Moreover, it seems you only had the idea to take action upon arriving here, but you did not find a suitable opportunity."

Its head is a mouth... a mouth less than one inch wide... Inside the mouth... is filled with dense, concentric rows of teeth!

Blood and flesh, completely drained within three seconds

Right there, in that cluster of flowers blooming in the morning sun, suddenly... it scattered.

No need. Before Zhao Yazhi's hand could reach over, Jiang Xian had already lifted the tall and sturdy Zhao Boli onto his back, tilting his head slightly towards the nearby tools: "You take the towel and water bottle, and I'll carry him over."

This is not a flower bush

The force with which he fell to the ground was considerable; the water here is shallow, and the dust stirred up by the splashing water made the entire area murky. He could not see whose hand had moved, nor could he discern whether it was intentional. His body involuntarily spun a few times due to this force and glided several meters toward the depths of the lake

Old Zhao ... ... After a full ten seconds, Song Lianshi finally came to his senses. His eyes instantly turned red, his lips trembled, and he instinctively walked towards the lake.

Jiang Xian gazed deeply at Temulun and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Zhao Yazhi also immediately crouched down, however, at the moment of crouching, a sharp pain surged from her ankle. The pain caused her to let out a muffled groan, and she immediately stood up.

A sudden dull pain in the abdomen

They seemed to swim aimlessly for two laps, and then...! ... they all pointed in the direction of Zhao Yazhi!

These two questions were swirling wildly in Jiang Xian's mind, but before he could think much more, Zhao Yazhi's voice sounded beside him: "Team leader. Lend a hand. This kid is quite composed."

"What is this ... ... ?" Temuren, a burly man, at this moment had a pale face, and his fingers were trembling. He spoke in a quavering voice

Who is it? Why?

The entire place is in a state of excitement

However, at that moment... his eyelid suddenly twitched, and his heart raced. He looked in astonishment at the underwater scene a dozen meters to his left.

Petals of various colors burst open in the water, gently twisting their bodies. The sunlight reflecting off the lake illuminates them, creating a dazzling interplay of light and shadow, resplendent and breathtaking

Wow! Zhao Yazhi's body involuntarily sank into the water, and she had no time to feel the pain in her feet, immediately beginning to adjust her posture. ... However, at that moment, she suddenly felt ...

Remember, gently lie on the water! Do not jump! Furthermore, do not approach areas where the underwater flowers are dense!

"What did you hear?" Jiang Xian suddenly raised his head and asked

Old Zhao! In a moment of urgency, Song Lian's dialect slipped out, and he gritted his teeth and said: "What are you doing with that wooden bag!"

No one

It has no head

At the cave entrance, a dense swarm of bats has already appeared, and the narrow opening is far too small for the thousands of bats. At this moment, it feels as if a dam is releasing floodwaters, as the overwhelming black cloud rushes out of the cave in a frantic manner. While the few people inside the cave are drenched in cold sweat, every nerve is stretched to its limit

Tiemulun seems to be looking for a cigarette as well. He reached into his pocket and sighed, "We can't really let Captain Song go, can we... Who knows what that thing is."

This is a living creature ... ... This is a living creature of unknown origin !

This sentence is asking Temüjin, who is beside him is Song Lian Shi. However, the other party's five senses have already dulled, and only Temüjin can be inquired about.

However, Song Lianshi seemed to be completely oblivious to it. Tears silently slipped from the corners of his eyes, and his lips were bitten until they bled: "Let me pass... let me pass!! I command you to let me pass!!"

Um... um um um! Zhao Yazhi was unable to make a sound, desperately thrashing his body in the water. His hands were raised in despair, striking the surface of the water with all his might... Perhaps it was a call for help, or perhaps a warning to others... Get out of here immediately! This lake is by no means a safe place!

Is there any way to lure the other party out ... ! ... He gently placed Zhao Boli by the lakeside, and just as he was about to stand up, suddenly, a loud crashing sound came abruptly from behind, from the cave!

Is this ... ... someone kicked themselves in the foot

In the next moment, the two individuals almost simultaneously turned around, each holding a pistol that was hung at their waist.

Suddenly...! The speed was too fast, there was no way to evade it. In an instant, a petal was pressed tightly against his throat

I never expected... that a booster would actually infiltrate the Bronze Bureau... His gaze deepened as he discreetly surveyed everyone in the room. The other party was calculating and concealed themselves very well. He did not intend to alert the snake by stirring the grass.

As the brush swept, almost simultaneously, those "petals" scattered and drifted away. Diving downward, their tails wedged into the crevices of the stones, their bodies swayed like aquatic plants in the water's current

Like flowers in water, they humbly strive for survival several meters underground, reaching towards the sun. It is as if everything that just happened never occurred.

Go!" Jiang Xian did not hesitate, using all his strength to rise, and rolled onto the shore. Following him were Temuren and finally Song Lianshi. The three of them lay flat on the ground, stunned as they gazed at the underground lake that had come to life.

At that moment, the "petal" not far from him seemed to have finally determined its target and lifted its head! It charged towards him like a sharp arrow!

However, just as he was about to stand up, a sharp pain shot through his foot. This pain exceeded the ankle, as if something had burrowed into his skin, desperately siphoning off his flesh and blood!

Two voices sounded almost simultaneously, and the actions of the two individuals were in unison as they suddenly seized Song Lianshi, pinning him down and firmly restraining him.

Things that resemble loaches, each one a different color, each measuring a full foot in length. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands! ... Centered around Zhao Yazhi, they crazily converge from all directions, instantly forming a colorful ... ``flower''

From all directions, countless "petals" swiftly approached. At the center of the flower, Zhao Yazhi's figure, which had been violently trembling for three seconds, quickly shriveled after that. In less than twenty seconds, his close-fitting camouflage uniform began to float. His entire body seemed to consist only of bones, slowly drifting towards the bottom of the water

Zhao Yazhi is like a flower's stamen, surrounded by vibrant and colorful petals at its center. The entire lake spans hundreds of meters, yet in this corner, it has condensed into a shadow several dozen meters large. Incredibly splendid, immensely spectacular, yet imbued with an eerie chill that sends shivers down one's spine

He does not wish to seek justice for others; their encounter is merely coincidental, and he is not so impulsive. However, for the safety of the team, he may refrain from taking action, but he cannot remain unaware of who the other party is

At the very least ... ... at least bring back his belongings

Gudu gudu! Suddenly, his vision went dark, and he instinctively opened his mouth to cry out in pain. In that instant, the lake water surged in violently. He turned his head in terror and was astonished to discover that, unbeknownst to him, his camouflage pants had already been stained with more than a dozen "petals"!

Damn it! Zhao Yazhi's mind went blank, and with all her strength, she resolutely attempted to stand up.

What do you want to do?" "Song team! Are you crazy?"

Indeed, Captain Song! This is not your fault! This is something no one could have anticipated!" Temulen said anxiously.

"You are quite ruthless." Jiang Xian wiped the sweat from his brow, as if he wanted to pull out a cigarette. Turning to the side casually, he said, "After more than ten years of friendship, it should indeed be more straightforward and decisive."

No one was surprised, as if it had been anticipated long ago. The two stood up slowly like gunslingers from the West, maintaining their balance and full attention. The muzzles of their guns never wavered even slightly.

He did not know where he found the strength, as he managed to break free from the grip of two men, each over 1.8 meters tall. Jiang Xian gritted his teeth, gripping his neck and growled, "Calm down! A dead person cannot be brought back to life! If you go now, you are just accompanying your own death!"

Having spoken, he immediately crouched down, rolled over, and plunged into the water, with the others following suit without hesitation. Only their heads remained above the surface of the water

Indeed, it is currently 5 PM, and it is not yet their active time... However... who knows whether those spores might cause any aftereffects for the bats, such as... making them a bit more agitated

That clear and transparent lake water, resembling jade.

In the face of the hidden, no one knows what the next threat will be. Caution ensures a vessel's longevity.

Let go!" Song Lianshi's voice was somewhat hoarse as he struggled desperately, frantically trying to rush towards the lake: "Let me go! Let me go!"

That lake water

"Temulun!" Jiang Xian shouted in a low voice. At the scene, Temulun was closest to Zhao Yazhi. Without saying a word, Temulun suddenly yanked Zhao Yazhi's other foot.

In that moment, both individuals felt as if they were in an ice cellar, a bone-chilling cold surged to the top of their heads. They immediately turned to look behind them... and then... they witnessed a scene that would be unforgettable for a lifetime.

He must return to the shore immediately... He kept Jiang Xian's admonition in mind. His body swiftly changed position and swam towards the shore
