C84 Cooperation

I would rather believe it than not. Although Tang Rou and I could take advantage of this opportunity to escape and escape from this predicament, if it was really as the man said, these two evil things would stick together. No matter who it was, whoever swallowed it, it would become an even more terrifying existence.

After saying that, Tang Rou and I looked at each other as if we were both thinking the same thing.

I immediately turned around and ran towards the coffin again. The black hand in the water reached out and grabbed the coffin again. The dried corpse inside the coffin that was trapped by the fishing net was also constantly struggling, as if it could escape at any time.

It seemed that these two evil beings were unsatisfied with each other and wanted to fight for the upper hand.

"What should we do?"

I didn't know what to do, so I asked the man loudly.

"Go and retrieve the coffin lid. Once it's closed, everything will be fine."

I cursed under my breath as I lifted my head to see the black coffin lid floating above the water. Although it didn't sink down, it seemed to be quite heavy. If I wanted to fish it out, I would have to face the item in the water.

"I know you have something extraordinary on you. Take advantage of the fact that I've injured him and still haven't recovered his strength. Hurry and fish back the coffin lid. The fish net can't trap him anymore."

The fact that the man in the long gown directly revealed my secret really surprised me. From this, it could be seen that when I was fighting with the corpses in the water, this fellow had been secretly observing me.

I focused and made a quick decision. I jumped to the spot where the boat was split open. The water has basically reached the top deck and could swallow us along with the coffin at any moment.

I didn't even dare to look at the surface of the water. The man in the long gown tightly held onto the fish net on the coffin as he threw a white powder object into the water. The black claw had already retracted.

Since they were going to make a move, they could only take advantage of this situation.

After taking a deep breath, I took a machete from a strong man and tied it with a rope before tossing it on the coffin.

I was lucky enough to succeed once, and then I hurried back to pull the lid.

"Be careful!"

Tang Rou cried out in surprise. When I lowered my head, a black claw had already grabbed my leg.

This caused me to tremble in fear. I subconsciously raised my leg to lift it up. However, that thing seemed to be welded together with steel bars. It stepped on my foot until it hurt, but I was unable to break free.

A huge pulling force instantly pulled me down. After that, half of my body was pulled into the water. I hadn't even shouted out when I had already taken two big gulps of water from the muddy river.

Thinking about how there were many corpses in the river, I felt nauseous.

Fortunately, I still had some ability to react. Before I was dragged into the water, I drew out my machete and swung it towards the ghost under the water.

However, the thing reached out and wrapped its arm around my neck, dragging me directly into the water.

It is said that a water ghost is extremely powerful once it is touched by water, and it is indeed so. I only struggled a little, but already lost all my strength. I am extremely regretful that I should not have listened to that man's bewitching words.

The tightness in my chest was getting stronger and stronger. I almost couldn't resist opening my mouth to drink, but at the same time, there was a scorching heat coming from my lower abdomen, and at the same time, my chest opened up. I saw a ray of weak moonlight coming down from the surface of the water, shining between me and the water ghost.

The appearance of that thing was clearly seen by me. This was the most disgusting thing that I had ever seen in my entire life, so I was unable to completely describe it in words. Furthermore, I didn't even want to recall the scene at that time.

It was as though I could breathe underwater. As I struggled to escape, I suddenly realized that the evil ghost in my chest that could only open one eye at most had its eyes wide open. At this moment, it was staring at me with its two eyes wide open.

A large number of bubbles instantly appeared on the body of the water ghost, and it immediately released me. It pulled my hand, and in that instant, it disappeared without a trace.

From this, it seemed that the two things that had been restraining each other, in order to save my life, had chosen to cooperate, or perhaps met the evil water ghost, which was why such a change had occurred. No matter what, it had saved my life.

After thinking about it, this Demon Face in his chest, even with his eyes half open, was still able to kill off those evil spirits. Today, his two eyes glared at the same time and he actually only managed to beat the water ghost away.

Either the water ghost is very powerful, or it's because I'm in the water right now and this is the water ghost's territory, it's not destroyed.

Even though I had escaped from my predicament, I had almost used up all of my strength at this moment, and my feet felt as if they were entangled with some sort of aquatic plant, making it impossible for me to break free. Fortunately, I was still tightly holding onto the machete, and a pulling force came from above the water.

Grasping the rope tightly, I finally surfaced with this force. I panted heavily and discovered that the bodies that were originally swarming over had actually disappeared at this moment.

Tang Rou pulled on the rope and asked anxiously.

"How are you?"

I shook my head, indicating that I was fine. I used all my strength to climb onto the deck, panting like a dog.

I fiercely glared at the long-sleeved man, but Tang Rou and I still grabbed onto the lid of the black coffin. After adjusting our direction, we pressed down hard.

At that moment, another wave of heat came from my chest.

The mummy inside the coffin suddenly let out a creaking sound. Although its facial features could no longer be seen, it still showed its fear.

I quickly reached out my hand to cover up my clothes. I noticed that the people in front of me, especially the man in the long gown, were staring at my chest with a surprised expression.

With a bang, the lid of the coffin fell off, and the black Qi that had been emitting from it had been greatly restrained.

The man in the gown looked at me but didn't say anything.
