Even when the black nails of the corpse were only a few millimeters away from him... Huang Miao never showed any panic on his face.
This kind of trust can only be cultivated after going through many life and death ordeals.
Wang Ye did not let Huang Miao down. He was always able to turn danger into safety and protect him in critical moments.
Huang Miao had been staring at the corpse calmly. He noticed that the corpse had not rotted in 12 years because there was so much resentment accumulated in the body.
At the same time, when fighting with Wang Ye, the resentment would always form a barrier on the outer layer of the corpse, preventing the black gold ancient sword from causing substantial damage to the corpse.
Fortunately, Wang Ye's skills were great, and even so he did not fall behind, and he still completely suppressed the corpse.
Finally... Huang Miao waited for an opportunity.
When Wang Ye swung his knife, he leaned over and went around from the bottom. At this time, the middle door of the corpse was wide open, which was the best opportunity he had been waiting for.
Huang Miao made a strange hand seal with his right hand, and then slapped the Tanzhong acupoint of the corpse hard.
Strangely enough, even the ancient black gold sword could not cause any damage to the corpse, but Huang Miao's palm made the corpse suddenly open its mouth, and a breath of black air was forced out.
Without waiting for the corpse to react, Huang Miao grabbed the corpse's chin and pulled it towards himself, then with his other hand he slapped the corpse on the top of its head.
"Bang!" The sound was so loud that it was faintly louder than the thunder.
A large amount of black gas instantly rushed out from the corpse's facial features, and in just the blink of an eye, the black gas dissipated without a trace. What was visible to the naked eye was that the flesh of the corpse began to wither rapidly.
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Wang Ye was surprised to find that in just a few breaths, the originally incorruptible corpse had now turned into a pile of skeletons, without even the skin.
Everything happened so fast, which made Wang Ye's eyes full of confusion.
Huang Miao only took a few seconds to solve the problem easily. Wang Ye also admired this method.
Looking at the pile of skeletons, Huang Miao sighed softly: "For 12 years, this corpse has been filled with resentment. The resentment prevented the corpse from decaying, and the place where it gathered also caused the center of gravity to shift, resulting in the corpse standing upside down in the water. Then it was controlled by the resentful spirit, and the so-called corpse transformation occurred. But in essence, this is still an ordinary corpse, not as difficult to deal with as a zombie."
Wang Ye nodded thoughtfully, but before he could say anything, ripples appeared on the river again.
Then a hand suddenly grabbed a corner of the raft, and a male corpse in the same state climbed up quickly.
Huang Miao, Wang Ye, as well as Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao on the shore recognized the male corpse at a glance.
The man on the ghost ship that they saw through the paper man's eyes was the male corpse in front of them.
Wang Ye took a step forward and stepped on the male corpse's neck without waiting for it to stand up.
After seeing Huang Miao take action just now, he already understood the trick, so he punched the male corpse hard on the crown of his head.
The male corpse opened his mouth wide, a cloud of black gas quickly dissipated, and then another skeleton appeared on the raft.
Huang Miao observed the surroundings and said calmly, "It seems that the vengeful spirit knows that we are coming for it, so it has been trying to obstruct us again and again."
Wang Ye frowned, expressing confusion:
"But we are clearly helping him."
After hearing this, Huang Miao smiled helplessly and explained:
"The thinking of the vengeful spirit cannot be inferred according to common sense, just like when we dream, the logic in the dream is often unreasonable. Moreover, this vengeful spirit is not as simple as you think. The fact that there are five corpses does not mean that there are five vengeful spirits. It is very likely that the grudges of these five people are entangled together to form a powerful vengeful spirit. It carries the grudges of five people. The five souls are entangled with each other and have long lost their normal thinking. They do not distinguish between good and evil, but are driven by resentment and constantly seek to vent."
After saying this, Huang Miao picked up the iron wormwood again and said to Wang Ye:
"Now we have a general understanding of the underwater situation. Next, I will fish out the remaining three bodies. Your task is to dispel the resentment in the bodies as soon as possible."
Wang Ye nodded silently without saying anything more.
Huang Miao stretched the iron wormwood into the river and hooked it with force. A female corpse with disheveled hair was hooked out of the water along with a strange cry.
Wang did not hesitate at all. He put the black gold ancient knife aside, grabbed the female corpse's hair, and decisively punched her on the top of her head.
In just a second or two, another skeleton appeared on the raft.
Then, Huang Miao used the same method to hook the body of an old man.
The king also dispelled the resentment effortlessly.
However, when the two thought they were about to complete the mission, the iron wormwood that Huang Miao had put into the river was suddenly pulled away by a powerful force at such a speed that Huang Miao was caught off guard.
The Artemisia annua was instantly dragged into the river and disappeared without a trace.
Huang Miao frowned, stared at the river in thought for a moment, then said slowly:
"It seems that the biggest trouble lies with this last body."
Wang also looked at Huang Miao in confusion, not understanding what he meant. Huang Miao took a deep breath and said meaningfully:
"If I'm not mistaken, this last corpse should be a child. The most frightening thing when walking at night is little ghosts, and the most frightening thing when retrieving corpses is the corpse of a child. Children's grudges are often deeper than those of adults, and they are more difficult to deal with."
Huang Miao's words made Wang Ye serious. He asked:
"What should we do? Is there any way to solve it?"
Huang Miao thought for a moment, then looked at Wang Ye and whispered:
"Brother Wang, I may have to trouble you from now on."
After saying that, Huang Miao whispered a few words into Wang Ye's ear.
After hearing this, Wang Ye nodded slightly.
The people on the shore were already speechless with shock at the sight of the two men fishing out corpses from the river time and time again.
Their previous comprehensive salvage efforts had yielded no results, but Huang Miao and Wang Ye used a small raft to fish out four bodies.
The four bodies were still alive and kicking when they first came ashore, but after Wang Ye punched them, they turned into four dry bones in just a few seconds.
Zhuge Qing was already somewhat numb at this moment, and the shocks he received time and time again left him speechless.
However, he suddenly discovered that Wang Ye on the raft was taking off his shirt, and others also noticed this.
Zhang Lingyu came forward, observed carefully and said puzzledly:
"Strange...what happened? Why did Brother Wang want to go into the water?"
Feng Baobao heard this and immediately said worriedly:
"How can we do this? There were so many water monkeys running out of the water before. Isn't it courting death to go into the water now?"
Zhang Lingyu did not respond, but just looked at the raft on the river solemnly, his eyes full of worry.
At this time, Wang Ye had already taken off his shirt, revealing his explosive muscles that sparkled in the sun.
The people on the shore could even clearly see that the dragon tattoo on Wang Ye's body was lifelike.
Then, Wang Ye took a ball of red rope from Huang Miao, picked up the black gold ancient sword, and jumped into the river without hesitation...
Witnessing this scene, the people on the shore couldn't help but feel nervous for the king.
They witnessed a series of events that had happened before. Although many phenomena were difficult to explain, it was obvious that there were countless dangers hidden in the river.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have avoided it long ago, but Wang Ye bravely faced the challenge.
Even though they had seen Wang Ye's powerful strength, no one could guarantee that he could return safely in this dangerous river.
At this time, Zhuge Qing and others noticed that Huang Miao was sitting cross-legged on the raft, which seemed to be nailed to the river surface, motionless. Huang Miao was holding a ball of red thread in his hand, which was being pulled into the river.
Everyone then suddenly realized that Wang Ye must be holding the other end of the red rope and looking for something in the water.
The careful Zhuge Qing counted the bodies on the raft and confirmed that there were four in total, so he inferred that Wang Ye went into the water to find the last body. As for why the red rope was needed, it is unknown.
At the same time, Wang, who jumped into the river, immediately felt the biting cold.
At this moment, the dragon tattoo on his body actually emitted a faint red light. Fortunately, this scene was not seen by others.
Then he noticed a dark shadow flash by not far away, and the riverbed had become turbid.
Wang Ye held the black gold ancient knife and continued to dive downwards.
The depth of this river is mostly around 2.5 meters, and the place where he entered the water was in the center of the river, with a depth of more than 2.8 meters.
Surprisingly, after Wang Ye opened his eyes in the water, he was able to see things without being affected.
He noticed many dark shadows glaring at him not far away, and knew that they were water monkeys.
However, these water monkeys seemed to be afraid of something and just watched from afar, not daring to approach.
Wang Ye's intuition told him that the thing the water monkey was afraid of was right under the water.
So he sped up his dive and gradually felt the pressure getting stronger and stronger.
When the depth reached about 2.3 meters, he vaguely saw a looming human figure.
Wang Ye immediately became alert and slowly approached the figure.
Finally, he saw clearly that it was a child of five or six years old, standing quietly in the water, looking at him emotionlessly with a pair of dead fish eyes.
What the child was holding in his hand was the Artemisia annua that Huang Miao had used earlier.
Wang Ye immediately understood that this child was the fifth corpse that Huang Miao wanted to fish out, also a child's corpse.
He sensed that there was a resentment lingering around the child that was far more powerful than that of the other corpses, and it was this resentment that the water monkeys were truly afraid of.
Recalling Huang Miao's instructions on the raft, Wang Ye slowly approached the child.
At this moment, the child corpse suddenly opened its mouth and made a high-frequency cry, which made Wang Ye's scalp numb.
Then the child rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed.
This speed is almost impossible for people to react, but Wang Ye is no ordinary person. He slashed with his sword at the most critical moment.
The people on the shore had no idea what was happening underwater. They only saw the surface of the river explode, stirring up a huge column of water.
Huang Miao still sat steadily on the raft, as if he didn't care about anything around him.
He had been sensing the red line in his hand and guessed that Wang Ye should have found the child's corpse.
The sudden explosion startled everyone on the shore and made them take a few steps back. The waves even hit them.
They couldn't imagine how Wang Ye had caused such a powerful explosion, and they were even more worried about his safety.
At this moment, under the water, Wang Ye cut his palm with his backhand and grabbed the child's wrist.
The child seemed not to have anticipated the power of Wang Ye's blood, so he did not dodge.
A large amount of resentment boiled out of the child's body, and the child opened his mouth wide, looking very painful.
Wang Ye seized the opportunity to tie the red string around the child's neck, and then pulled the red string hard.
Huang Miao, who had been waiting, finally got a response from Wang Ye.
He made strange hand seals with his hands, lifted the red line, and pulled it upwards.
Seconds later, the body of a child slammed onto the raft.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ye also climbed out of the water.
The dragon tattoo on his body turned red, and the water droplets began to melt due to his high body temperature.
A red rope was tied around the child's neck. He lay motionless on the raft as if he was being controlled, with his dead fish eyes staring blankly at the sky.
Huang Miao sighed softly, then tightened the red rope without hesitation.
In an instant, the child began to struggle in pain.
After a few seconds, a cloud of black air emerged from his facial features.
Like the other corpses, the child turned into a pile of bones after the black gas disappeared.
Huang Miao dropped the red rope in his hand and looked at Wang Ye: "Brother Wang, are you okay?" Wang Ye shook his head slightly.
In the sunlight, the wound on his palm was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at the pile of bones in front of him, Huang Miao's expression was heavy. "This family is also miserable. Five people were buried in this river, which is equivalent to the annihilation of the whole family. From the 80-year-old man to the five-year-old child, it's no wonder that there is so much resentment that has gathered into spirits."
The king also threw the black gold ancient sword aside, sat on the raft and nodded slightly.
The pile of bones in front of him also caused some emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
Huang Miao regained control of the raft and gradually approached the shore.
Zhuge Qing and others were waiting for them hurriedly on the shore, with countless questions in their minds that they wanted to ask.
There were no obstacles on the way back, so Huang Miao quickly brought the raft closer to the shore.
Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly ran to the river and helped Huang Miao and Wang Ye down.
"Director, Brother Wang, are you okay?" In response to Zhang Lingyu's question, Huang Miao and Wang Ye shook their heads.
"Go and move all these bones down. Be careful not to mix them up. Don't make mistakes with the bones of the five bodies." Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao nodded immediately and ran towards the raft.
At this time, Zhuge Qing quickly waved his hand and looked at the investigators and said, "Didn't you hear what Director Huang said? Go and help!"
The investigators then came to their senses and hurriedly chased after him.
Huang Miao glanced at Zhuge Qing. From his reaction just now, he could feel that Zhuge Qing's opinion must have changed, otherwise why would he be so attentive.
Sure enough, Zhuge Qing walked to Huang Miao's side at this time, still feeling shocked.
"Director Huang, are you all right?"
Before Huang Miao and Wang Ye came back, Zhuge Qing had a lot to say.
But now that they were really standing in front of him, Zhuge Qing's words came to his lips but only came up with this sentence. (End of this chapter)
