Yu Daohan looked at Su Lai with disbelief. "Really? I find that hard to believe."
Su Lai took out a small mirror and handed it to Yu Daohan. "See for yourself."
"Tch." Yu Daohan took the mirror skeptically.
He was sure that Su Lai, given his character, was trying to trick him.
Taking the mirror, Yu Daohan looked at his reflection.
He saw that his mouth was pitch black, his tongue and teeth were also black, and there was a lip print on his forehead, also black.
"What the hell is this?" Yu Daohan quickly tried to wipe it off with his hand, only to find it wouldn't budge.
Su Lai chuckled. "When a corpse stays in water for too long, its corpse energy becomes extremely heavy, especially in the mouth."
Yu Daohan wiped it with water, but it still wouldn't come off. "Damn it, how do I get this off?"
Su Lai shook his head. "Wiping with water is useless. Only the blood of a rooster over a year old can remove it."
Yu Daohan was utterly speechless. Where would he find a year-old rooster now?
If that guy found out, he'd skin him alive.
To come here seeking treasure and end up being taken advantage of by a ghost – who could he even complain to?
"What about that water-walking zombie?" Yu Daohan asked.
"It ran away," Su Lai replied honestly.
"Ran away!?" Yu Daohan was stunned. "Why didn't you kill it?"
Su Lai said helplessly, "When I swam to the bottom, I saw her kissing you wildly. I didn't even dare to go near, afraid she'd get angry and stab you."
"So you just watched?"
Yu Daohan wished he could make Su Lai experience the same thing.
Su Lai nodded proudly. "That's right. I waited until she was done kissing you before I pulled you out. What do you think, clever, right?"
Yu Daohan, with a grim expression, patted Su Lai's shoulder and chuckled. "You truly are my good brother. When we get back, we'll travel by water again. I'll let you experience being kissed by a beauty too."
Su Lai waved his hand. "No, no, I don't have necrophilia."
Yu Daohan shuddered at the thought of being held and kissed by an ancient corpse, feeling disgusted.
He regretted asking.
"Right, what about those water-walking zombies?" Yu Daohan finally realized they were gone.
Su Lai chuckled. "Those things didn't catch up."
Yu Daohan nodded. He really didn't want to see those disgusting things again.
The raft drifted forward when a voice suddenly came from the side: "Senior Brother Zhang, come and get me quickly."
Hearing the voice, everyone immediately became alert, drawing their weapons. Su Lai shone his flashlight in the direction of the voice.
They saw a white figure clinging to a protruding rock on a stone wall, looking like a drowned dog, utterly pathetic.
"Holy crap, what kind of water zombie is this? I've never seen one so pathetic," Su Lai couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's me, it's me!" the figure said urgently.
Hearing this and looking at the white clothes, everyone finally realized.
This wasn't Zhang Xiaoqiang's junior brother, Li Naifeng!
Li Naifeng, at this moment, had none of his former ethereal demeanor.
Just as everyone was about to push the raft over, Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his hand to stop them.
Seeing this, Li Naifeng said anxiously, "Senior Brother, it's me, Li Naifeng."
Zhang Xiaoqiang's lips curved upwards as he began to play dumb. "Who?"
Li Naifeng was completely flustered, almost losing his grip and falling. "It's me, your junior brother Li Naifeng."
Zhang Xiaoqiang wore a look of schadenfreude. "Li Naifeng? Do I have a junior brother named Li Naifeng? I don't recall. Isn't his name Li Paopao?"
Yu Daohan and the other two beside him shook their heads helplessly at Zhang Xiaoqiang's smug expression.
They hadn't expected "Qiangzi" to be so vengeful.
Li Naifeng realized Zhang Xiaoqiang was toying with him, but he was losing his grip and had no choice but to grit his teeth and reluctantly utter a few words: "It's me, your junior brother Li Paopao."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't hold back his laughter. "So it's my junior brother Li Paopao."
Zhang Xiaoqiang deliberately emphasized the words "Li Paopao."
Li Naifeng felt like he could eat Zhang Xiaoqiang alive, but he had to bow his head under the circumstances.
"It's me, Senior Brother," Li Naifeng forced out, gritting his teeth.
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to push it too far. Seeing that he had made his point, he said with a smile, "Don't be scared, Junior Brother Paopao. Senior Brother will come and save you right away."
Su Lai rowed the raft over. Li Naifeng let go and jumped onto the raft, then sat down with a sigh of relief. "Damn, I'm exhausted."
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked behind Li Naifeng and taunted, "Junior Brother Li Paopao, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"
Li Naifeng looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang's smug face and said angrily, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, don't get too cocky."
Zhang Xiaoqiang pursed his lips. "Alas, some people are just dogs. One moment they're calling you Senior Brother, and the next they're addressing you by your first name."
"You!" Li Naifeng swallowed the words that were about to come out.
After all, this wasn't the time to get into a fight with him.
Besides, he couldn't beat him.
Seeing Li Naifeng's disheveled state, Su Lai asked curiously, "Brother Li, how did you end up like this?"
Li Naifeng sighed and said, "Alas, I hadn't been in here long when I saw the red-clothed corpse in the water. Fortunately, my movement techniques are superb, otherwise, I would have met my maker by now."
