Unfortunately, when I turned around and saw a white shadow, my head buzzed, and my eyes went dark and I lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, but a voice in my heart woke me up. I couldn't die. After I died, I would go to the underworld and never come back. Shen Bing and Wei Ziling would be left in the Death Valley, waiting for me. They might be attacked by thunderstorms and wild beasts, or killed by wild ghosts.
With this thought, a huge force immediately gathered in my body, rushing to my head, and I opened my eyes. I found that it was pitch black in front of me. I didn't know when the headlight went out, and the black hand on my neck was still pinching me tightly, making it difficult for me to breathe.
It seems that I just fainted and was awakened by my own amazing will. I am on the verge of death. If I don't break free of this claw, it will not be a coma, but I will report directly to the underworld. I suddenly stood up, reached out to pull out the bayonet from my bag, and chopped the black hand with all my strength.
With a "snap", the wrist was cut off instantly. The severed hand remained on my neck, but the arm retracted in a flash of lightning.
Finally I was able to breathe, so I took a few deep breaths, tore off the claw, and threw it far into the pool. My hand landed on the ground with a "plop". It might have fallen on a rock, but I didn't care at the moment. I thought this place was too weird, and it was not suitable to stay for long. It was better to be washed away by the water. Maybe I could find an exit to the ground at the end of the downstream.
Thinking of this, he reached out to turn on the headlamp and jumped into the water.
The headlamp didn't turn on because it was missing, and my finger hit my scalp. Damn, where's the headlamp? This wasn't bad luck. I thought I would hold my breath as soon as I jumped into the water, but when my feet landed on solid ground, I stepped on a rock that hurt my feet and sat on the ground.
"Ah..." My butt was poked by a stone again!
While feeling the pain, I tried to calm myself down. What kind of place is this? Isn't it in the water? I reached out to touch my backpack, but it was gone. But I still remembered that I had a fluorescent stick in my pocket, the kind that would light up if you hit it. I took it out and hit it on my palm twice, and it slowly emitted a faint green light.
Oh my god, why is it green? In this dark space, and with such a tense atmosphere, the green light gives people a feeling of infinite weirdness!
I vaguely saw a dark figure standing not far in front of me, with two hands clasped together and water dripping down. My heart was shocked, that should be blood, from that bastard who almost strangled me to death and had his hand chopped off. He hadn't left yet, so I swung the bayonet in my hand and rushed towards him.
Although the backpack and headlamp were gone, fortunately I still had the bayonet in my hand. I just took a step forward, and the black shadow suddenly ran away as if startled, running very fast. Now I can see clearly that there are sharp stones under my feet, so I dare not run too fast, which makes the bastard run farther and farther, and it seems that I can't catch up.
I stopped panting, looking at the green grass and thorns on the ground, feeling extremely surprised. Where is the pool? When did I get out? It seems that I am no longer in the underground river, but on the ground. But when I looked up at the sky, it felt very low, like the smell of hell.
The sound of the grass shaking made me open my eyes wide with alertness, and I looked towards the source of the sound with a fluorescent stick. The light was too weak, and the illumination range was only one or two meters. It was dark in front and I couldn't see anything. Suddenly, a bloated black shadow emerged from the grass, about ten meters away from me.
