Chapter 564: Encounter Danger 1
...
After soaking in the water for a full day, their clothes were damp. Fortunately, after a few hours on the wooden plank, their clothes had warmed and dried. However, at night the temperature sharply dropped, and the three of them, Tong Yao, huddled together shivering in the cold.
Guo Jinnian took the first half of the night as watch, while Tong Yao and Han Enzhen slept first. Despite the cold, they were too fatigued from the day’s events and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The surrounding darkness was eerily quiet, and Guo Jinnian began to regret watching so many horror films the night before. Now she couldn’t help but feel that monsters would appear from the night sky at any moment to tear her apart.
As she started to doze off to the sound of Tong Yao and Han Enzhen’s even breathing, she was suddenly dragged off the wooden plank and into the water before she could react. Her hands and feet were restrained, her arm was excruciatingly painful as if it had been twisted off, and her head was forced underwater.
This was a life-threatening situation, and Guo Jinnian’s mind filled with despair. Tong Yao and Han Enzhen didn’t know martial arts. Facing an attacker this ruthless without her protection, how would they escape?
After swallowing a considerable amount of dirty water, Guo Jinnian quickly passed out, blood presumably coming out from her neck area.
Tong Yao, who was in a deep sleep, felt something was amiss and reached out, only to touch nothing. Instantly awake, she found herself engulfed by darkness.
