Chapter 1211: Chapter 1189: Underwater Fight

When Manbao opened her eyes, she just caught sight of the dagger in the person’s hand dropping, and another assassin sinking into the water, rushing towards Bai Shan with a sword.

Anxiously, Manbao chanted in her mind: "Keke—"

Keke quickly reviewed the items left in the system by the host and finally handed her a scalpel.

At that moment, Manbao didn’t care what was put into her hand; she just swam towards Bai Shan...

Bai Shan took a bite at the water; soon, he ran out of breath. He surfaced to breathe, completely unaware of the person coming up behind him.

Manbao was quite close to him, and with one swim, she reached him, only to find that the scalapel in her hand wasn’t very useful. Holding her breath, she simply grabbed the person’s foot and pulled downward...

Keke couldn’t help but quietly lend a hand...

Then, the assassin who swam up from behind to stab Bai Shan with the dagger, stabbed the air and was pulled down into the lake’s bottom silt, immediately stirring up a layer of dirty water and instantly blurring his vision.

Manbao ran out of breath in her chest, let go of her hold, and strove to swim upward, only to surface and catch her breath when she saw that Bai Shan was being held underwater by someone.

Manbao wiped her face, and the scalpel she had been holding all along plunged into the man’s lower back...

The man, in pain, turned to glance at Manbao and continued to press Bai Shan down. Bai Shan could only struggle by flailing his arms; compared to an adult, his strength was too little.

Manbao tried to pull, found that she couldn’t pull the man off, and simply sank into the water again, clutching the person’s foot and pulled downwards.

Seeing only a slight move, and receiving a glare, Manbao couldn’t help but call out, "Keke—"

Keke truly couldn’t watch the host die, although if Manbao died it could find another host, but...

Still, Keke couldn’t help but break the rules once again. Manbao pulled backward, yanking the person along and smashing them towards the lake bottom...

As the pressure on him lifted, Bai Shan immediately surfaced, unable to resist coughing, spouting water from his mouth and nose.

Manbao swam over and grabbed him, "Hurry, get to the shore..."

They had only kicked a few times when they were grabbed and dragged back into the water.

Only when they were underwater did they realize those two men had caught up with them, but their breath seemed also exhausted; after grabbing them, they surfaced to catch their breath.

Just as Manbao and Bai Shan were about to surface, they were dragged back down by them before they could breach the water.

As they reached out to choke them, Manbao waved the scalpel in her hand. The reaching hand retracted, but they firmly dragged them down towards the bottom of the lake. Manbao had a knife which could protect her chest and abdomen, but Bai Shan was hit several times...

Seeing him releasing bubbles, Manbao’s eyes turned red with urgency.

Keke quickly opened the store, too rushed to even ask Manbao, and directly made a purchase. In Manbao’s mind, she vaguely heard the familiar sound of points being deducted.

As the air in her chest was finally exhausted, she couldn’t help but expel two bubbles, but her mind became clearer and clearer. She kicked her legs, stepped on the person, and shifted towards Bai Shan, who was still moving his hands and legs but continuously swallowing water...

Something appeared in Manbao’s hand, and Keke’s voice in her mind was crystal clear, "Have him breathe this..."

Manbao put the object over his face. Bai Shan choked on water, his mind slightly panicking but subconsciously took a breath and got air. He regained consciousness, turned to look at Manbao, and saw her holding an object which she quickly fastened onto him...

Bai Shan didn’t have time to question what the canister was, kicked away the assassin who came over to hit them, then moved the object on his face to Manbao’s face.

Manbao took a breath and pushed him away, another object appeared in her hand. She fixed it onto her own face, hung the canister on her body, and then reached for the assassin who was about to surface to breathe...

Bai Shan also snapped back to reality and, seeing the two assassins looking at them with eyes filled with horror, knew that they must have witnessed Manbao conjuring things out of thin air.

Without hesitation, Bai Shan turned around and grabbed a leg, firmly pulling to prevent them from surfacing...

If they got out, Uncle Zhou’s secret would no longer be safe. Talks of ghosts and spirits were incessant; ordinary people would be terrified upon hearing and would inevitably invite experts to take Uncle Zhou away.

The two assassins weren’t made of clay; in a life or death moment, they fiercely kicked downwards, pushing the two down and then swam to the side, hoping to surface farther away from them.

Originally, Manbao and his group were at a disadvantage underwater, as they were not adept swimmers. But the assassins didn’t have the upper hand either.

Due to the water resistance, their movements were also limited, punches that would normally be very powerful only had less than half their usual impact.

Moreover, they were not very skilled swimmers themselves; they only wanted to finish the job with a single stab, not expecting to end up in the water.

But now, with the object Keke gave them, breathing seemed to no longer be an issue for Manbao and Bai Shan. Although their swimming speed was still slow, they fearlessly chased after the pair.

They quickly caught up, and the four of them tangled underwater again.

Seeing this, the two assassins simply reached out to remove the gear on their faces, but Bai Shan and Manbao exchanged a glance, flipped backward in unison, and also kicked the assassins away, distancing themselves from them.

The assassins’ minds were already somewhat sluggish; they grabbed their legs and pulled towards themselves.

Bai Shan and Manbao did not struggle, instead following the force, but as they got closer, they simultaneously dove down deeper. No matter how the assassins swam, they couldn’t reach their faces. Without the limitation of breathing, they didn’t mind being tugged and pulled at.

The assassins reached their limits; their limbs grew weak, they released their hold and tried to swim upwards...

Manbao and Bai Shan exchanged a look, made up their minds, and immediately grabbed the assassins’ legs to pull them downwards...

Furious in a struggle for life or death, the assassins exerted their strength in the chaos and knocked off the gear on Manbao’s face.

Manbao didn’t mind at all; holding his breath, he continued to drag the assassin...

One of the assassins tried to grab the gear, but it instantly disappeared.

Keke could retrieve items taken out of the system, especially since that canister was still attached to Manbao.

The item was retrieved, but in an instant, it reappeared in front of Manbao’s face.

Keke felt it was doing enough worrying, as these actions were borderline; looking back, it would definitely be deducted points by the main system...

The two assassins were terrified upon seeing this, as if they had seen a ghost, and couldn’t help but choke on some water...

In the water, once you start choking, it’s practically over.

Bai Shan dragged one of them fiercely towards the bottom of the lake, stirring up the silt until even their figures blurred.

But Bai Shan, being very close, saw him gulping in water and thrashing wildly; he didn’t care how the legs he was holding kicked, he simply wouldn’t let go.

He waited until the thrashing slowly ceased and the eyes closed, sinking downwards before he released his hold and swam up to assist Manbao.

Using the devices provided by Keke, they somehow managed to press the two assassins into the mud, watching as they sprawled motionless, mouths slightly open without even a bubble, then Bai Shan finally gestured towards the gear on his face.

Manbao nodded, and together they took a deep breath, then removed the gear and handed it to Keke to store back in the system before they both swam upwards...
