Ye Xu's heart rate increased sharply in an instant, and this feeling was really terrifying. He was stunned for a full three seconds, and only realized when he was almost dragged down, kicking his legs to shake off the hand.
Ye Xu had no choice but to ruthlessly step on those cold hands.
It's fine if the other party doesn't let go, but if he does, he will definitely step on the ground and fall. The ghost knows whether the ground below is still there, or whether it has disappeared like the one just now.
Ye Xu didn't dare to look down at all, he was afraid of facing a horrible grimace when he lowered his head.
Fortunately, the ghost didn't let go, Ye Xu stomped on it several times before the ghost loosened slightly. Ye Xu made a decisive decision and crazily climbed up, but the ghost hand didn't react for a while, and actually let him break free.
Three seconds later, Ye Xu, who rushed ashore suddenly, lay paralyzed on the shore, gasping for breath, exhausted and exhausted. The moment he collapsed, he glanced at his watch subconsciously. He struggled in the water for fifty seconds, no more, no less.
Luckily the ghost didn't follow, it didn't seem to be able to leave the pool area. Ye Xu lay down for two minutes, feeling that he had come alive, he stretched his head tentatively to take a look into the water.
The blue water of the pool is crystal clear, and the bottom is covered with white tiles. There are no sudden black holes or scary ghosts. Everything seems to be Ye Xu's illusion, the waters are calm and safe.
But Ye Xu had lingering fears, and he didn't dare to go into the water for a short time. He was exhausted now, and if he encountered any danger in the water, he might not have a second chance to go ashore.
Ye Xu sat up slowly, leaned against the glass wall and closed his eyes to rest. Wait, wait another ten minutes, and he will go into the water.
After closing the eyes, the hearing seems to be a little more sensitive. He heard screams and splashing water sounds one after another in the distance. It was not the sound of water caused by normal swimming, but the sound of someone struggling in the water.
Ye Xu stood up holding the glass and looked over from a distance.
All I saw was a man frantically slapping the water in a swimming pool opposite. He tried his best to swim towards the shore, but the water seemed to be dragging him, dragging him towards the middle of the pool, and sinking more and more. Before reaching the middle, the water in the pool was over his head.
The people around didn't dare to approach him at all, let alone save him. They quickly moved away from the water area, watching the ripples on the water surface gradually subside with lingering fear.
Ye Xu's face was pale, and he subconsciously counted the number of people in that swimming pool. The original twenty-odd people had shrunk to sixteen, and it took only a while, five players were missing.
The guide in the distance was all smiles, obviously very satisfied with this elimination rate. But now no one has the leisure to pay attention to her, Ye Xu sat back, clutching his left chest, silently looking at his own pool.
At exactly fifteen minutes, you will encounter water ghosts. He was the first to encounter ghosts in their pond, but it won't be long before others will encounter ghosts one after another.
Ye Xu can't do much now, he can only observe the rules and methods of ghosts attacking players on the shore. Also, how did other people get out of danger, as a reference for yourself.
He didn't make Ye Xu wait too long, and three minutes later, a player not far from him was in danger.
Similar to Ye Xu's routine, the white tiles under his feet disappeared and turned into a bottomless pit. That player also sank suddenly, but he knew how to swim, so he subconsciously swiped and then floated up.
That's not enough, he obviously knew that there were water ghosts in the water by observing other players before. So the first time he came up, he grabbed the bank of the pool. He was actually right next to Ye Xu, but he didn't choose to spend two or three seconds swimming over to grab the ladder, but simply relied on his arms to climb up from the pool.
His choice was right, and in the next second, a pair of hands that couldn't see clearly stretched out from the hole, grabbed his leg, and dragged it down hard. Those hands were like black silhouettes, distorted and blurred under the refraction of the water.
If he chose to swim over, he might have been dragged down by the ghost before he reached his position.
But even though there was no ladder to help, the player had great strength and was in a stalemate with the ghost. Not only was it not dragged down, but the ghost was pulled out a bit.
The shadow that originally showed only his hands turned into a black upper body, which seemed to be tied into a ponytail. It should be a... female ghost
cough.
Ye Xu burst out of strength from nowhere, rushed over suddenly, leaned forward and grabbed the man's arm, and blocked the ladder next to him with his other hand to prevent himself from being dragged into the water together.
But Ye Xu didn't have much strength, so he couldn't drag the person up at all, he could only ensure that the person would not be dragged down from exhaustion. Ye Xu decided to use force in another direction, and pulled the man over, letting him approach the ladder.
As soon as he touched the ladder, the player immediately lifted his spirits and climbed up with the last of his strength. The ghost hand retracted the moment it was about to come out of the water, and the crisis was resolved.
This player obviously has much better physical strength than Ye Xu, he was in a stalemate with the ghost for a while, and now he hasn't passed out from exhaustion after going ashore. He was lying on the ground, and still had the energy to say thank you to Ye Xu, but he was still panting badly.
Ye Xu shook his head and didn't say much.
He didn't know why he suddenly took action to save people. If he encountered such a situation before, although he wouldn't make trouble, there was a high probability that he would stand by and watch. Because people may not be able to be saved, it is easy to put yourself in it.
But that person was struggling beside him, and he only needed to pull a little, maybe this person could live. Before Ye Xu came to the escape game, he was just an ordinary person. Nearly twenty years of school education had taught him kindness, so at that moment he suddenly didn't want to stand on the sidelines.
But he wasn't really stupid, so when he extended his helping hand, he grabbed the man's arm, and chose a direction where the other party would not grab his hand in the struggle. If this person really cannot be saved, he will let go without hesitation, and will not give the other party a chance to grab him backhand and use him as a straw.
"I saved you because I wanted you to do me a favor." Ye Xu thought for a while and said to him.
In such a world, even if he really is a holy father, he cannot say that he is a holy father. It is better to trade benefits, so that everyone can accept it more, and the rescued person will not be entangled with him to use him, nor will he feel that he has ulterior motives.
So Ye Xu put forward a condition that the other party can do: "I see that you are strong and physically strong, and I have to go into the water in a while, so I can make up the rest of the time. So if I am in danger, you can pull me once , pull me up at the first time, it is my life. If it is really impossible, you let go, how about it?"
There was a trace of fortitude and integrity in that player's eyebrows. Ye Xu guessed that this person was either a soldier or a soldier-like occupation, and he would not cross rivers and tear down bridges.
Sure enough, the other party agreed without hesitation, and thanked Ye Xu sincerely once again.
The two of them rested on the shore for more than ten minutes before Ye Xu went into the water again.
With teammates this time, Ye Xu became a lot bolder. He didn't hesitate too much when he got into the water, but this time he didn't stand on the side of the ladder desperately, but stood directly in front of the ladder, with one foot on the ladder and one foot on the ground.
If a black hole appeared again, he would immediately change his center of gravity and climb up the ladder immediately.
But this is a test of reaction ability. If the reaction is not timely, both feet will not be able to exert their strength and they will fall directly. In order to prevent this situation, Ye Xu kept holding onto the ladder railing tightly with both hands, and the male player was always ready to make a move.
The watch is placed a little farther from the shore to avoid falling into the water when struggling. If you don't leave after entering the water, it will be troublesome when you do other tasks later.
Ye Xu stared at the dial with difficulty, and the time passed by every minute.
He guessed that the second danger would probably occur at the twenty-fifth minute, that is, ten minutes after the first danger. He shared this conjecture with the man, and the other party agreed with him.
When the time reached the twenty-fourth minute, the male player reached out and grabbed Ye Xu's arm, ready to start exerting himself at any time. Ye Xu also secretly became vigilant, and his feet on the ladder began to gradually increase their strength.
five four three two one!
Before Ye Xu could feel the feeling of stepping on the ground, he subconsciously pushed his other foot hard, stepped on the ladder, and raised his whole body by a certain distance. At the same time, the male player exerted all his strength and directly dragged Ye Xu up a lot.
The two of them threw themselves onto the bank with all their strength, and even landed directly on the bank.
In the water, a pair of bewildered black hands hadn't had time to move. It waved wildly in the water, as if it was still looking for Ye Xu's location. Three seconds later, he retracted into the hole in front of Ye Xu and the others, and the hole disappeared.
Ye Xu, who survived the catastrophe, was again paralyzed from exhaustion, but the male player seemed to be fine and didn't use much strength. In fact, neither of them had a direct confrontation with the ghost hand this time. The reason why they were exhausted and out of breath was mainly because of the thrilling and adrenaline surge.
So after a few minutes for Ye Xu to recover, he can resume normal activities. It's just mental and mental exhaustion. Today's experience is too much a test of physical fitness in all aspects, and it also tests the endurance of the heart.
"Thanks to you this time." Ye Xu thanked his teammates sincerely. If his teammates hadn't dragged him up immediately, he might have to confront the ghost hand again.
The male player shook his head: "You should rest first, I'm going into the water."
"Do you want me to help?" Ye Xu asked proactively, although he may not be able to help much, but it is a force to be able to contribute.
The male player thought for a while and said, "No need, I should be able to deal with it myself."
Before, it was because of lack of experience and being caught off guard. Now that he knows the rules, it is naturally not that dangerous for someone like him who has undergone special training.
Facts have proved that the male players did not hold the big. When he was in distress for the second time, he rushed ashore immediately. If it is said that Ye Xu relied on this person's pull, then this person escaped the danger entirely by his own ability.
He didn't even use a watch like Ye Xu to keep accurate time like this, but he was always on guard, and then responded quickly after the incident happened.
Ye Xu looked at him with admiration, feeling very envious. If he had this ability, he wouldn't have died in the last world.
The later experience was much safer. Originally, Ye Xu was worried that he would encounter danger again in the 30th minute. But no, it seems that there will only be two dangers in the water, and everything will be safe afterwards.
After getting out of the water, Ye Xu didn't want to stay for a second. After saying goodbye to his temporary teammates, he took his meal ticket and left.
When he left, the number of players in the swimming pool had shrunk by half. Most of them disappeared into the swimming pool, and only a few managed to get their meal tickets and leave.
Ye Xu could only pray secretly that the experience activities starting tomorrow would be a little more friendly and stop being so cruel. If it happens again, few of the remaining players will survive to the end.
