C242 Evening Assault(part Ii)

He immediately changed his direction and met with Fu Shidong and Wang Han.

"Brother, what kind of place is downstream?"

Jiang Chen looked at Wang Han and asked.

"I don't know. According to the map, we should cross this river and head to the other side. But based on the current situation, the map doesn't seem accurate anymore. Something must have happened here in the past few decades for so many terrifying bugs to appear."

It was unknown when Wang Han lost his gun, but he was carrying a cloth bag on his shoulder.

"Follow them down! Since that middle-aged man knows about this man-eating bug, then his grasp of the map must be more accurate than ours. It's very likely that he has been here before, so at least temporarily following him won't cause any great danger. "

Fu Shidong suggested.

He didn't care about him after he jumped into the water. Instead, he took his men and swam downstream, obviously wanting to leave the three of them here and let them live and die.

Even if there was no cooperation between them, they had still built up a bit of reliance on each other. He turned the tables a little too quickly, catching them off guard.

"Follow them down, but don't get too close."

Jiang Chen made a decision. He followed the middle-aged man's team and followed from a distance.

Even though they were in the water and they could feel their body temperature slowly disappearing, they were all holding onto a glimmer of hope and swimming with all their might.

After all, there were many dangers ahead and no one wanted to lose their lives here because of the river. Moreover, some people had already died, so those who survived cherished their lives greatly.

The sound of water became louder and louder in front of him. Under the moonlight, Jiang Chen could vaguely see that the water in front of him seemed to have stopped flowing.

While he was lost in thought, the middle-aged man in front of him had already disappeared from his line of sight.

Jiang Chen and the other two were not far from them, so this scene caused them to be shocked.

Before Jiang Chen could understand what was going on, he suddenly felt a force pulling his body out of the water, causing him to roll forward.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen felt like he lost his center of gravity and was rolling in the water.

He tried his best to reach out and grab onto something, but he felt something sharp scratch his palm, causing his blood to flow into the cold river.

He gritted his teeth as he held his breath and dived into the water. Finally he was able to see the reason behind the sudden disappearance of so many people in front of him.

Ahead of the river was a waterfall, and right now, they were at the upper reaches of the waterfall. A few dozen meters away from where they could see it was the end of the river.

Jiang Chen's heart was filled with shock. He immediately struggled to stop moving forward, but he found that his body was suddenly driven by the water flow and was unable to resist at all.

Fu Shidong and Wang Han's situation were similar, rolling back and forth in the water.

The two of them followed Jiang Chen and were pulled to the end of the river by the current. Soon after, they felt a strong sense of weightlessness.

The three of them stayed in the air for a few seconds, and their eyes were filled with the image of a wider river.

After a short pause, the three of them were pulled down by gravity at the same time, falling into the river below. After three continuous crashing sounds, the three of them fell into the river below at the same time.

Jiang Chen felt his body falling rapidly. Luckily, he held his breath in the air and was finally able to have the strength to swim upwards.

The river was very clear, and under the moonlight, Fu Shidong and Wang Han could be seen struggling to swim towards the surface.

The three of them struggled to reach the surface of the water. They gasped for breath and looked around at the same time.

Fu Shidong seemed to be alert. He took out another item from his backpack and threw it to the side after breaking it.

The light flashed and stopped at the shore for a few seconds. Luckily, there were no man-eating ghost insects, only some weeds and trees.0

Seeing the situation, the three of them didn't have time to think. They swam to the shore with everything they had and lay on the ground. Only then did they feel as if they had escaped death.

After resting for a while, the three of them found some branches from the forest and started burning the dry parts of the tree bark.

As they sat in front of the bonfire, their clothes gradually dried and their body temperature slowly returned to normal.

The big cake that Wang Han brought with him was soaked in water. It was stuck in a branch and was being roasted beside the bonfire.

"Brother, how should we go now? Are you still sure of the direction?"

Jiang Chen asked after being silent for a while and having a bite to eat.

Theoretically, even if we reach the waterfall, we would be able to find that place as long as we are heading in the right direction. However, there is no way to know exactly how far we were blasted out of the water. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult to return to the location indicated by the original road sign on the map.

Wang Han explained. Earlier, he was only thinking about escaping, who would have the time to think about the rest of the journey?

Now that he had calmed down and considered this matter, he felt that it was very troublesome.

"Hm!" There's still some time before daybreak, so I'll keep watch. You all should sleep for a while! "

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to decide on this matter. After all, too many things had happened tonight, so he was a little anxious.

After simply bandaging his wounds, Jiang Chen leaned against a big tree beside the bonfire and secretly circulated his energy to train while simultaneously paying attention to his surroundings.

Under the night sky, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of water flowing down from the waterfall. Besides that, the forest was completely quiet. It was so quiet that it was terrifying, causing people to feel uneasy in their hearts.

Jiang Chen pondered over the current situation. The middle-aged man and the others must have something from that place.

Other than him, there seemed to be only five or six people left in his team, and he had yet to make a move himself. His strength was incalculable, and this was the greatest threat.

If his goal wasn't the Red Jade Dew Fruit but something else, then it would be fine. However, if he was also after that thing, then it would be troublesome.

However, based on what he knew, there must be some sort of spiritual object guarding the Red-Jade Dew Fruit. It was exactly the thing that Zhoba had lost an arm to.

The middle-aged man knew what that thing was. The reason he hadn't acted yet was because he was preparing for it. It was obvious that even when he faced it, he felt that it was very troublesome. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so cautious.

Most importantly, Jiang Chen and the rest did not know what that thing was.

If they went to that place first and encountered that thing, it was very likely that the middle-aged man would have fought in vain.

The question now was whether he wanted to get there before those people, or later.

Before this, he would have to face something that even the middle-aged man could feel threatened by. But after this event, the middle-aged man would very likely snatch the Red-jade Dew Fruit away.
