Otherworldly Transformation Wilderness

"Are you going to take a bath by the river?" Chen asked with some uncertainty.

"Yeah, besides the water there, is there water in other places around here?" Zhang Yue thought that maybe Chen knew there was water in other places, so he asked.

Chen shook his head, "No, this is the closest water source to us, but..." He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's not clean, you better stop washing it, get some water and wash it in the tribe."

"Not clean? Don't we drink the water there all the time?" Zhang Yue didn't know why.

"Uh, you don't know yet, no wonder, you have only come to the tribe not long ago, there is something in the water." Chen said nervously.

"There is something, what is it? Have you seen it?" Hearing what Chen said, Zhang Yue couldn't help feeling a little curious.

Chen shook his head again: "No, no one has seen it, it's just that everyone has a feeling of being peeped at, which is very strange. We have searched for it several times, but we haven't found anything, but the feeling of being peeped at has always been there. "

"That's it. If you haven't seen something, what are you afraid of? Isn't it inexplicable? I will take a bath in a shallow place by the river, and I will go back after washing." Zhang Yue shook his head indifferently, and said to Chen Shi Shi didn't take it seriously, he guessed that it was a natural phenomenon, and the people here didn't know each other, so they were afraid.

"Do you have to go wash?" Chen was still a little worried.

"Yeah." Zhang Yue nodded firmly, he must take a shower, he didn't pay attention to the health of his body before, he will realize it, of course he can't miss it.

"Okay then, don't stay there for too long, go and come back quickly, and be careful." Chen reminded a few words, and returned to the tribe with Lin for dinner.

Zhang Yue walked in another direction alone. That was where the river was. There was a route coming out of the tribe and extending all the way to the river. That was the tribe’s people who often walked, and it became a road. Zhang Yue followed this road directly to the river. By the river, there is a large piece of bluestone fixed on the bank, which is very firm and firm. The river in that place is relatively shallow, and it is about half a person's height by visual inspection.

Now it’s time for lunch, people are staying in the tribe to feast, there is no one on the river bank, the surroundings are quiet, the clear river water ripples in a circle with the wind, the river water is still very clear, He was able to see the small fish swimming in the water, looked carefully, and found nothing strange, then looked around, and found no danger at a glance, Zhang Yue felt relieved.

Throwing the animal skin casually on the shore, Zhang Yue stepped on the bluestone and stepped into the water, took two steps, stood in the water up to his waist, and began to wash.

Rubbing left and right, splashing the river water on his body with water, after a while of scrubbing, the dark yellow skin turned white, Zhang Yue was depressed to find that the place where he took a bath, the originally clear river water fell with the muddy water on his body He saw with his own eyes that the water droplets falling from his body fell into the river water, and a yellow-brown bloom spread out in the water. Oh, my mother, how dirty I am, washing the river water muddy.

No, I want to wash it well, wash it thoroughly, Zhang Yue began to rub his body with his hands desperately, from head to toe, from top to bottom, even the toes were not spared, rubbing layer after layer Stained mud rolls, the dark yellow of the body disappeared, replaced by rubbed pink skin, after washing and washing, Zhang Yue forgot the time, and also forgot the morning's instructions, until he could no longer rub the mud. The color of his body changed completely, and Zhang Yue showed a satisfied expression, thinking that the washing was almost done, and it was time to go ashore.

Zhang Yue turned around and planned to go ashore, but he didn't notice a dark shadow in the depths of the river not far away. That shadow had been staying there for a while, ever since he found out that he was taking a bath there. , remained motionless, and found that Zhang Yue moved, and the black shadow moved with him, sliding quietly, at a very fast speed, and appeared under Zhang Yue's body after a while. Guang glanced at it inadvertently, was startled, his heart beat violently a few times, raised his throat, and wanted to run away.

It's a pity that the movement was still a step slow. His feet were caught or bitten by something cold. The strange feeling extended from his feet to his whole body. Zhang Yue's body froze for a moment, and then he reacted quickly. , hurriedly pulled his legs, trying to escape, at this time he suddenly realized that there was really something strange, why didn’t I believe it, why was I so unlucky, no matter how many times others came, nothing happened when I came once, just When encountering strange things, no matter how unlucky things happen, they will come to me.

When he pulled out his legs, the black figure below noticed them, dragged his feet vigorously, and sank down. Zhang Yue's center of gravity was unstable, his body tilted, and he fell into the water. He couldn't help shouting, "Come on!" People, help!!"

His voice was swallowed by the river, and before he had time to struggle to stand up, he was dragged into the water vigorously by the black shadow, and the river surged in from his nose and mouth in an instant, Zhang Yue felt that it was difficult to breathe, the air was getting less and less, Almost lost consciousness and passed out.What he didn't know was that his body drifted away along the river with the shadow, getting farther and farther away from the tribe.Except for the animal skin skirt on the shore, there is nothing to prove that he has been here.

The people of the tribe have now had lunch, took a short break, and continued to build the bamboo house. People have not noticed that one person is missing.It was the careful Lv Zhu who discovered the situation. Lv Zhu had been in charge of cooking meat for the tribesmen. At noon, everyone who was supposed to come to eat came, but Zhang Yue was the only one missing. Lv Zhu thought he had something Things were delayed, so I saved a portion of meat first, thinking that I could still eat meat when Zhang Yue came over, so I wouldn't be hungry.

She waited and waited, but she didn't see Zhang Yue's shadow. Luzhu began to worry, and the woman's sixth sense told her that something might happen to Zhang Yue, so she decided not to wait any longer, and started looking for him.Lu Zhu went to the tent first, and there was no one in the tent, and there was no trace of cooking, which meant that Zhang Yue never came back, nor did he eat.Later, she went to the place where the bamboo house was being built, but still saw no one. When she saw Chen, she asked him, "Chen, did you see Yue, he was with you all morning."

"Hasn't Yue come back yet? At noon, he went to the river to take a bath, and he said he would be back in a while. I thought he had already come back." Chen told what he knew.

"You said he went to the river to take a bath, didn't you tell him there was something strange there?" Hearing that Zhang Yue went to take a bath in the river, Lu Zhu felt a little more uneasy.

"Say it, I told him, but he didn't believe it. He said he just took a shower and would be back in a while, so I didn't care about it." Chen scratched the back of his head, and his complexion became bad.

"Yue didn't come back, there is no him in the tribe, so I looked for it." Lu Zhu said.

"Then did he go to the bamboo forest?" Chen guessed.

"I haven't gone yet, you can look for it with me." Green Bamboo said.

"Okay, let's go now." Chen nodded, and went to the bamboo forest with Lv Zhu, running there, but there was no one there, and Zhang Yue was not there.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw each other's worry, and they ran to the river at the fastest speed. An animal skin skirt on the Daqing Mountain came into their sight, but the owner of the animal skin skirt was not there. Something happened to Zhang Yue, that's what they thought.After checking the surroundings, there were no traces of beasts, and the only possibility was that Zhang Yue had fallen into the water.

In any case, they still held a little luck, and ran back to the tribe to call for help. After a while, more than a dozen people came over, and each of them took a long bamboo in their hands and began to flip it in the river, thinking what if If it sinks into the water, it may be able to be fished out.More than a dozen people searched along the river bank for a long time, but they didn't find Zhang Yue. They also searched the surrounding areas, but they didn't find anyone. They were sure that there were no traces of wild animals around the tribe today. Generally speaking, the possibility of Zhang Yue encountering a wild beast is very low. His disappearance is most likely related to that river. People think of the monster they have been hearing about all the time. ugly.Now that there are no people alive, no dead bodies, and seeing that the sky is getting dark, people have to say that they have given up searching.

Thinking that Zhang Yue might have had an accident, everyone was in a bad mood, especially Luzhu. She regarded him as her younger brother, and she had cried twice, her eyes were red.

When the people looking for Zhang Yue returned to the tribe, the people who went hunting also came back one after another.The square of the tribe is very busy with people coming and going. Not everyone in the tribe knows what happened to Zhang Yue, and those who know have a bad face. You can clearly see it from the faces of Luzhu, Chen and Lin. It's not much better, because they still have a problem to face. When Li came back, how would they explain it? Zhang Yue has always been close to the two of them, and Li asked them to take good care of him. The living person disappeared, and it is likely to be more or less ominous. The two of them don’t know how to tell the news. If they tell them, will they be beaten? If they don’t, will they be beaten even more? What a shame Tangled question.

When they were struggling, Li led the team back with a leather bag on his back, which contained fruits found in the mountains. Zhang Yue has always had the habit of eating fruits. Every time Li went hunting, whenever he met, he would Pick it off and bring it back to Zhang Yue. Seeing him eat happily, he is also very happy.

After distributing the prey in the square, with the meat in one hand and the fruit in the other, they happily walked towards the tent.

"Hey, go and talk." Lin kicked Chen who was standing still.

"Why should I go?" Chen was still a little confused, he didn't know how to face his brother.

"You are the last person to see him. Go quickly, and you will be miserable when you find out by yourself." Lin said, he was also entangled, not knowing how to face his brother.

"You were there at the time. Forget it. Let's talk together. I hope Li can think about it." After Chen finished speaking, he grabbed Lin's arm, took big steps, and hurriedly caught up with Li.

"Li, wait a minute, I have something to tell you." Chen shouted.

Li stopped and turned around: "What's the matter?" In fact, he was a little impatient, he wanted to go back to the tent early, and the thought of someone waiting for him filled his heart.
