Chapter 162 The Call From the Naihe Bridge

I didn't expect that the truth behind the island residents' final stay at the bottom of the sea was like this.

Everyone was stunned for several seconds before accepting this fact.

Chen Ke nodded and said:

"Look at the sand in this river that hasn't flowed away for thousands of years. If they accept the fact that they have become mermaids, then eating sand can indeed allow them to continue to reproduce."

Eggplant cursed:

"Fuck, if I find out that I have become a mermaid, I would rather hit my head and die. I can't stand this kind of dark life."

Ji Han smiled and said:

"Before hitting my head and dying, I have to sleep with a mermaid anyway to avoid losing money."

Song Qian asked:

"Brother Han, is there any record of any disaster they encountered? Or the situation of that big hand?"

Ji Han shook his head and said:

"No, this stone tablet should have been built earlier than the arsenal, and it only records the sea spirit sand."

He knew what Song Qian meant. If the island residents really lived here, then they should have lived very well guarding the sea spirit sand. What force made all these seabed residents disappear?

Chen Ke threw his flying claws at the sea spirit sand under the bridge again and took some samples for research.

Seeing that there was no other content, Ji Han urged:

"Then let's not stand there, hurry up and go to the bridge to find the sacred pillar. If there is anything else that can turn people into mermaids besides this broken sand, we can't get out."

But at this time, Eggplant reached out to stop everyone.

"Didn't you see that the bridge head was blocked by bricks? I wonder if there is something wrong with this bridge?"

Ever since being tricked by the giant devil anglerfish, Eggplant has been careful about everything.

But Ji Han didn't figure out for a while why they wanted to seal the built bridge again?

Ji Han and Chen Ke looked from both sides and found that the bridge was safe, without any obvious cracks or collapse.

But after all, it is a thousand-year-old bridge under the sea, and the turbulent blue sand river under the bridge goes straight to the dark abyss at the end. If you fall down and get washed away, it's no joke.

For safety reasons, everyone took out their flying claws. Fortunately, the river was not so wide. If there was a problem later, they could use the flying claws to throw to the shore in time.

Eggplant checked carefully and did not notice anything unusual, so he went up the bridge with everyone.

Ji Han estimated that this bridge was for the mermaid residents here to not have to rely on their bodies to cross the dangerous and turbulent blue sand river.

According to Chen Ke, the image obtained from the Nine Star Mirror of the Pre-Qin Dynasty suggested that the divine pillar should be placed in the lighthouse-like building in the middle of the bridge.

But when the four people were about to reach the middle of the bridge, Song Qian, who was walking in front of the left, asked:

"Uh, there seems to be a sound?"

Chen Ke, who was walking in the second place, also said:

"Yes, I heard it too."

Ji Han stopped and listened, but found nothing, and replied:

"I didn't hear anything."

But Ji Han, who was walking in the third place, just took a step forward and suddenly felt a tinnitus.

Then he heard something, but it was very subtle, like whispering, and the specific content could not be heard clearly, but it was certain that there seemed to be some sound.

Ji Han carefully identified it and found that the sound seemed to come from the abyss at the end of the Blue Sand River.

No way? If there is any sound coming from such a long distance, it should be very loud. How could it be so subtle?

In doubt, Ji Han stopped and asked:

"It seems that there is really a sound coming from the abyss."

Eggplant, who was walking at the end, replied:

"There is no sound. Did you hear it wrong?"

But Song Qian and Chen Ke, who were walking in the front, had stopped talking at this time, and just looked forward with blurred eyes, and did not respond to what Ji Han said.

"Song Qian? Chen Ke?"

Ji Han shouted at the two of them, but they did not respond at all.

Knowing that something must have happened, Ji Han hurriedly stopped Eggplant and said:

"Eggplant, don't go forward for now. There may be a problem. We heard a strange sound coming from the abyss, and Song Qian and Chen Ke didn't seem to respond."

Seeing this strange situation, Ji Han and Eggplant did not dare to rush forward to pull Chen Ke and Song Qian, fearing that they would be hit as well.

He could only use the harpoon to continuously pull the two people from behind, while calling their names.

But the two people seemed to be hit by an acupuncture master, and there was no reaction.

Just when Ji Han wanted to use the flying claw chain to pull the two people back, he saw Song Qian and Chen Ke turned around at the same time, and walked stiffly towards the bridge on the other side of the abyss.

It was like being led by puppet strings.

Seeing this, Ji Han and Qiezi hurriedly pulled the two people back, but they didn't expect that the two people were so strong at this time that they were in a stalemate with Qiezi and Ji Han, and were about to jump directly into the blue sand river below.

If they went down, they would definitely be swept down the cliff by the turbulent sand river and die.

Ji Han and Qiezi didn't let go, and the four of them were in a stalemate on the bridge for a while.

Qiezi dragged hard and cursed:

"Ward, what the hell is this bridge? Naihe Bridge? Why are these two guys like they are possessed by evil?"

It happened suddenly, and Ji Han also cursed:

"Who the hell knows what's going on? We were walking and heard a sound from the abyss. Then we saw that the two of them were like this. There must be something wrong with the sound! This thing is too weird. It keeps calling like a ghost."

The two saw that they couldn't pull Song Qian and Chen Ke back. Eggplant pulled the chain and suggested:

"You also heard the sound. How come you're fine? Think of a way quickly. If they fall, they're really finished. Since it's a sound, try your whale courtship speaker!"

Ji Han had already turned on the speaker in his pocket, but there was almost no response. He thought, yes, these two are not of the same frequency, how can they affect each other?

"I tried, it didn't work!"

Eggplant gritted his teeth and said:

"What should I do? Where did these two guys get the evil power? I can't pull them back!"

Ji Han thought, what can I do?

I'm not a magician who can exorcise demons and evil spirits. I can't do anything about this situation. This is really a dead end.

However, in a hurry, Ji Han remembered that although he did not have any special ability to exorcise demons, he might have something on him.

So he struggled to pull the chains that bound Song Qian and Chen Ke while searching in his inventory.

Except for the shark repellent cream, all the other gifts this time had been used. This thing certainly could not exorcise evil spirits, so he could only quickly search through the previous prizes, hoping that there would be something useful.

Until he found the reward he got from the Ghost Temple at Crescent Lake:

A copy of the Heart Sutra of the Ghost Temple.

Isn't it a bit late to recite the sutra when it is needed? But there is no other way, so he can only give it a try.
