Before number Seven’s branch could touch the corpse, number one’s face suddenly twitched!
Under his skin and flesh, the green blood vessels squirmed slightly, as if they had come alive, causing his pale face to Twitch.
For some reason, it reminded him of the crocodile corpse filled with white man-eating ants that he had encountered when he arrived on the island yesterday.
No. 1 should be here for some reason. There was something in the water!
Number Seven’s curiosity was suddenly dispelled. She used a branch to pick up the silver box, her actions were a little cheerful.
Anyway, number one was already dead. The two of them were not related to him and were not police detectives. They were not curious about how he died. The most important thing was to get the box first!
The branches hooked onto the boxes, and the water flow was stirred. The thing inside corpse number one seemed to be frightened and squirmed more frequently.
This scene made one’s hair stand on end, and number seven was no exception. She couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and suppress the panic in her heart.
“This … This motherf * eking… What is it?”
However, song qingxiao could not answer her question.
Number seven licked her dry lips from her nervousness and went to pull the box out of the water. As she did so, she glanced at song qingxiao from the corner of her eye. She was also looking around, as if she was going to find a tree fork to snatch the box from her.
It was obvious that there was something in the water. Even number one had fallen for it, so neither of them dared to go in. They could only think of a way to hook the box up first.
Number one died here, and it was unknown if he had opened the box.
However, as long as there was a chance, No. 7 was determined to get this box and would never give up.
To prevent song qingxiao from snatching the box, she pulled the box closer. One end of the branch was already hooked on the handle of the box, and she twisted her wrist to get it stuck.
As number seven exerted his strength, the box tilted up and rubbed against the surrounding brambles, making a sound.
Mr. Zhou’s broken hand slid down with a ‘splash’ and stopped at the pattern on the edge of the box for a moment before falling into the water with a ‘plop’.
The surface of the water rippled, and the dried and solidified blood at the wound of the broken palm was soaked in the water, spreading a few wisps of faint color.
Under the watchful eyes of song qingxiao and number seven, slender light green worms suddenly emerged from the mud at the bottom of the water. They seemed to be tempted by the smell of blood and fought to get close to Mr. Zhou’s broken palm.
The insects ’bodies were sometimes long and thin, and sometimes short. They were extremely fast and approached Mr. Zhou’s broken palm. One after another, they entered the wound.
As the worm burrowed into the broken palm, the palm began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, thin blue lines could be seen wriggling under the skin.
No. 7’s mouth was wide open, and he couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise, this, this is a blood leech …
She had goosebumps all over her body. At first, she felt disgusted, but then she was overjoyed.
It looked like number one was also very unlucky. He thought that he had found the perfect hiding place, but he did not expect to lose his life.
Before he died, he probably didn’t even open the box. Now, it was his turn.
After number Seven’s joy faded, he looked at Mr. Zhou’s broken palm and a look of pity flashed in his eyes.
This should be the ‘key’ to opening the box, but at the moment, it was obvious that the key could not be retrieved.
She felt a little regretful, but she still turned her body to the side and lifted the box, pulling it up bit by bit.
Song qingxiao also stepped on the withered tree trunk. Number seven was worried that song qingxiao would reach out to grab it, so he moved sideways to guard her. At the same time, he sped up his movements.
The box was pulled higher and higher, and water was dripping down from it.
The box was hooked up more and more. Number seven had observed the silver box. Other than water stains, there was nothing else on the surface of the box.
She suppressed her ecstasy. This time, she thought that she was absolutely safe. Just as she was about to reach out and catch the box, the same thing happened again.
A hand suddenly appeared out of thin air. It was a step faster than number seven, and it took the box that number seven had painstakingly picked up.
Number three’s figure appeared beside number seven. Once she got the box, she slammed into number seven with all her might, trying to knock him into the water. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she quickly stepped on the tree trunk, turned around, and ran left.
“All…”
The sudden attack on number seven was no small shock.
Her attention was all on song qingxiao, so she didn’t expect number three to be invisible next to her.
After the box was stolen, she was caught off guard and fell into the waterhole.
Since it was a matter of life and death, number Seven’s fur stood up with a ‘whoosh’. She let out a’ meow ‘and as she fell, she whipped her tail at number three’s legs.
The long black tail whipped number three’s calf. Number three staggered, but he didn’t stop. He quickly jumped off the tree and ran out.
At this time, number seven did not have time to chase after her and was busy taking care of himself. The moment she fell off the tree, she used both her hands and feet to hold the big tree. Her back was suspended in the air, and the tips of the weeds rubbed against her back, giving her a terrifying feeling as if there were bugs crawling on her.
“F * ckme…”
No. 7 cursed again and again. She could no longer maintain her hypocritical demeanor. She was afraid of the insects in the water, but also afraid that song qingxiao would take the opportunity to attack her.
One after another, he was intercepted by others. One could imagine the depression and anger in number Seven’s heart.
She didn’t have time to take revenge on number three. She climbed up the tree again and jumped up. Number seven was as agile as a cat. She jumped two or three meters away and landed on the left side of the pit. She looked at song qingxiao for a while.
Number seven held back his anger and looked in the direction where number three had disappeared. The grass and leaves were swaying, and there was no sign of anyone. Number three had already run far away after snatching the box.
“F * ckher mother!”
Number seven couldn’t help but curse again. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, why didn’t she die?”
Song Qing looked down on her flustered and exasperated look and frowned slightly.
Number one had died here. It was unknown whether he had died in the hands of the snake head she had hidden in the box or in the mouths of the mutated blood leeches in the water.
The ‘key’ had already been destroyed, but No. 3 was so anxious about the box that she didn’t even mind taking the risk to snatch it. It seemed like the ‘evolution potion’ in the box must be very important to her.
She thought of the wound on number three’s back and connected it to number Seven’s furious expression. She cared about the box as much as number three did.
Although the evolution potion that Mr. Zhou mentioned sounded wonderful and tempting, in the end, this experiment was not very successful.
Even Mr. Zhou himself didn’t dare to say with 100% certainty that this agent would definitely be useful. He didn’t dare to inject it easily when he brought it to the island.
Song qingxiao didn’t dare to use the medicine after she got it because she was worried. She kept it with her.
Why were number three and number seven so persistent?
A thought flashed across her mind, but before she could catch it, number seven had already said with a sinister expression,”
“Let’s work together and capture number three, how about it?”
