Chapter 1679 The Dotted Line Man

The seventh bridge pier was not completely disconnected from the previous bridge piers, and about one-third of the bridge deck was still connected. Wu Qiang, who was walking in front, walked carefully along the remaining remnant bridge deck.

After being on this bridge for a long time, he also found something strange, and he often felt that he was being watched.

The voyeuristic gaze was cold and resentful, which made people shudder.

However, he remembered Li Bai's warning and never looked down at the water. If he didn't look, there would be no danger. He was a person who listened to advice.

With small steps, Wu Qiang finally passed the severely damaged bridge deck and stood on the seventh bridge pier.

This was the last bridge pier. Through the hazy fog, Wu Qiang could already see the scenery on the other side. Those green trees and those flowers and plants of various shapes were the taste of freedom that Wu Qiang had dreamed of.

"Wu Qiang!"

Hearing someone shouting, Wu Qiang subconsciously turned his head, but as he turned his body around, the scene in front of him made him stunned.

The fog had become so turbulent that it had completely obscured the figures of Lv Zhangyuan and Li Bai, leaving only the outlines of two lakes.

"Wu Qiang, come here quickly, we have to hurry up."

Li Bai's voice came from the opposite side, and anyone could hear the urging. The figure raised his hand and waved at Wu Qiang again and again.

"What happened?" Li Bai looked at the empty bridge piers. What she was worried about still happened.

Lv Zhangyuan's face was pale, "I don't know what happened. I just lowered my head to stabilize the wooden board, but when I stood up, Wu Qiang and others disappeared."

"Wu Qiang must not have fallen off the bridge, otherwise I could see it with my peripheral vision, and I didn't hear any sound of falling into the water." Lv Zhangyuan, who had recovered from his shock, emphasized.

A living person disappeared in a moment. Li Bai was looking at the direction of Heishui Village just now. She was calculating the time when the team would arrive and didn't pay attention to the movement here.

Li Bai thought for a moment, then searched on her body and took out the bridge map she found from the soldiers.

After checking, Li Bai gradually figured out some tricks. The last bridge pier was the most complicated. There were 9 human-like symbols around the pier, and the brushstrokes were similar to those of children's simple drawings.

But strangely, all these symbols were dotted lines.

There was also a big exclamation mark next to these dotted people.

At the bottom of the pier, which should be the river surface, there were countless things like water plants waving, and the brushstrokes were very chaotic. One could feel the tension in the heart of the painter at the time.

Obviously, the team of soldiers also encountered trouble here.

"What's the matter with these 9 human figures?" Lu Zhangyuan frowned, and he looked at the bridge again. The wooden planks that Wu Qiang moved there were still there, but the people had completely disappeared.

Slowly, Li Bai's eyes changed. She stared at the dotted people and seemed to have found the problem. The dotted lines meant that these people were fake and did not exist. Li Bai noticed the twisted hands and feet of the people around the bridge pier, and then a terrible guess came to her mind.

"Hit the living stake"

Li Bai suddenly realized what was going on with this last bridge pier. It was rumored that it was difficult to build a bridge on some evil rivers. No matter how well prepared the bridge piers were, they would soon collapse.

If such a situation occurred, the bridge builder would secretly find some people in the underworld. These people were proficient in this and would be able to see the feng shui taboos of this place, and then calculate what kind of birth date and eight characters could be resolved. The last step was to find a living person with this birth date and eight characters nearby and sink them into the river, or tie them up and bury them in the bridge piers to make human pillars.

Generally speaking, only one person would be buried, and at most a pair of boys and girls, but this last bridge pier actually had 9 living stakes in one go. Li Bai didn't dare to think about how evil the underwater thing was.

"Sister Li, what should we do?" Lu Zhangyuan was a little panicked. After all, so much time had passed, and the Blood Goddess's community fire team was about to arrive.

After a moment of silence, Li Bai showed a resolute look on his face, "You wait here, I'll go find him."

"Find him? How? We don't know where he is, and he is now..." Lu Zhangyuan stopped talking here and looked at the empty bridge pier. At this moment, they were very close to the other side. This feeling of being so close yet unable to touch the way out made people feel particularly desperate.

Not sure if it was to comfort Lv Zhangyuan, Li Bai gave him a reassuring look, "I have a way, things are not as bad as you think, Wu Qiang is not dead, he is just trapped by those things."

"Trapped"

Without giving Lv Zhangyuan the opportunity to ask questions, Li Bai tore open his already tattered coat, roughly tied several pieces of cloth together, made a rope several meters long, tied one end around his waist, and threw the other end to Lv Zhangyuan, "Hold the rope tightly, I may disappear in a while, but don't be afraid, if the other end of the rope sends two slow and one fast pulls, then you pull outwards and point us in the direction."

Li Bai's words seemed to take Lv Zhangyuan a long time to digest, "Sister Li, what if the rope does not send two fast and one slow pulls?" Lv Zhangyuan stared at Li Bai's face.

"Then don't worry about us. I'm not the one pulling the rope on the other side." Li Bai acted calmly at the moment of life and death. "I hope you can stay calm by then. I won't be killed by those things soon. I will do my best to buy time for you. You can loosen the rope, but I suggest you throw it directly under the bridge. Those things are afraid of water."

"In short, you still have a choice and a chance. Don't give up. My friend Yao Shunyu is a trustworthy person. He will definitely escort the Blood Queen's team successfully. If you find him, he will definitely find a way to take you away."

Just as Li Bai was re- When he picked up a new plank and tried to walk over, Lv Zhangyuan's voice suddenly came from behind, "Is it worth it?"

Li Bai was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

"I said it's worth it? Risking for a stranger, you and Wu Qiang were strangers, weren't you?" Lv Zhangyuan asked, "No one will blame you for giving up on him."

"I asked you to build the bridge, and I should do my part if something goes wrong. As for whether it's worth it or not," Li Bai looked at Lv Zhangyuan's injured shoulder, "What about you? Why would you rather take a knife than betray Yao, Shun and Yu?"

Lv Zhangyuan opened his mouth and couldn't speak for a while.

The next second, Li Bai suddenly laughed, "Just because you blocked this knife for my friend, I will keep you alive, don't lose hope, Lv Zhangyuan."
