Chapter 383: Chapter 263 There’s Something in the River!

Those young people were clearly very curious, craning their necks to look towards Sui Yi and his group, and they were immediately taken aback upon seeing Sui Yi and the few women.

"Goodness, such beautiful women, how could they appear here? Are they dangerous elements?" one young man couldn’t help but exclaim.

Frankly speaking, these women would be considered exceptional even if they were in the entertainment industry, especially those three...

The elder opposite glanced at him: "Haven’t you heard that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is?"

The statement wasn’t wrong, but it managed to provoke a girl standing nearby. She also glanced over: "What does that mean, I’m too ugly, or am I also very dangerous, dear grandpa?"

Her words were slow and leisurely, with a slightly stirring and gentle charm, which, in this tense atmosphere of swords drawn and bows bent, seemed rather poignant...

Everyone heard it.

These were the archaeology team’s people, all of different ages, but there was only one woman among them, a young girl who did not appear to be very old. At that moment, she sat among that group of people, seemingly interested in the happenings over here, lifting her gaze just in time to see Sui Yi looking at Xiao Yu.

"Miss Xiao"

People had heard others call women comrades, or General Xiao, or simply miss, or even by a direct code name, but no one had ever called out "Miss" in such an old-fashioned way.

Mainly because the voice was very unique, it easily attracted attention.

Xiao Yu turned her head to look and saw a very young and beautiful face, observing her.

"Please pick up your gun..."

Sui Yi’s words were undoubtedly a challenge, or were they implying something?

It was as if there were a kind of magic contained within, causing Yueh Xiangnan and the other soldiers to subconsciously tense up.

Trouble!

Gong Jiu and the others were undoubtedly the most in sync and used to this, uniformly picking up their weapons, further exacerbating the tense mood of all three parties, even Wei Feng furrowed his brow.

It seemed that he sensed an unusual aura.

"Professor Ye..." Several soldiers standing guard nearby, obviously very sensitive, gave a reminder, and the elder and others, without understanding the reason, had no choice but to prop themselves up and stand.

All three groups were on a knife’s edge.

Xiao Yu looked at Zuo Wei, her eyes falling on the sword in her hand, silently squinting her eyes...

The sword...

Sui Yi sidestepped...

The moment he sidestepped, the others became wary and reacted. Xiao Yu’s long-handled assault rifle slung over her shoulder was raised by her, but it all seemed sluggish compared to the quickness of Sui Yi’s sword!

Sui Yi took a step, and suddenly the sword rose!

A glint of cold light flashed!

A soundless slash cut through the darkness.

With a swish!

The gleam of the sword startled Xiao Yu and the others!

Such a fast sword!

A dark shadow was sliced in two by her in midair, the sword tip flicked, and a half of something with a strong scent of blood fell to the ground!

The sword blade shone with cold light, and out of Sui Yi’s mouth came a sentence: "There’s something in the river."

She had previously used Magnetic Sensation to see some footprints coming from Wei Feng’s side, naturally knowing that this was the start of their ploy. She guessed that someone had entered the Black Water River, deliberately causing a disturbance to attract her, and then facilitating Wei Feng’s group to launch a surprise attack...

Only, they surely did not expect that when she arrived at the riverbank, she saw human finger marks and bloodstains at her feet.

This indicated that the two people had already been killed!

She naturally confirmed that there were dangerous creatures in the river.

Only she had not expected there to be so many... Magnetic Sensation picked up too many presences!

No sooner had she finished speaking than the group, as one, pointed their guns at Black Water River...

That moment, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

One after another, shadowy figures spewed out from the Black Water River!

No, it would be more accurate to say they sprung out, leaping onto the sand.

Water splashed onto the sand, silently seeping in.

The sound was distinct, under the light of wrist-mounted flashlights one could faintly see shadows, but these shadowy figures were obviously pitch black, very fast, and in the blink of an eye disappeared into the dark sandy ground, leaving only a whizzing sound in their wake.

Like phantoms.

Chilling and terrifying.

The elder’s group had not reacted yet, but they too were frightened!

What are these things?

There were many! They vanished into the darkness, utterly making it impossible to discern what kind of creatures they were...

But the feeling was one of horror.

Xiao Yu made a snap decision: "Xiang Nan, take people and cover for Professor Ye and the others to leave!"

"Yes!"

It was the innate instinct of humans; when facing such unknown dangers, the earlier confrontations between humans became inconsequential in an instant. Humans were bound to join hands...

Ratatatat!

Bullets sprayed out in a broad swathe!

Perhaps some hit their mark, but more often than not...

"Ahhhh!" An unlucky guide from Wei Feng’s group was dragged into the darkness, the flashlight in his hand swinging wildly before falling to the ground.
