Forbidden land, Divine Bay Valley.
Time returned to more than ten hours ago.
In the strange lake.
George and Taylor sat on the simple raft they had made themselves and rowed towards the other side of the lake.
However, because of Taylor's unintentional action of washing his face with water, they alerted the corpse beetles hidden under the lake.
Countless corpse beetles swarmed toward the small raft.
Their large numbers formed a huge black shadow in the lake.
Corpse beetles, also known as carrion worms, specialized in rotting flesh.
For some unknown reason, there were countless corpses at the bottom of the lake, which was why there were so many corpse beetles.
The cautious retired soldier George immediately discovered the strange thing at the bottom of the lake.
"Damn it! What is that thing?"
Even the calm George couldn't help but exclaim.
From their angle, they could see that the strange black shadow at the bottom of the lake was several times larger than the small raft they were standing on.
At first glance, it seemed to be a huge, mysterious monster hidden in the lake!
Taylor also saw this black shadow and could not help but exclaim,"Oh! Sh * t!"
"Oh my god! What was this? Is it a demon from hell?"
George glared at Taylor." Don't f * cking believe in your god. If you don't want to die, hurry up and scratch!"”
After saying that, George used all his strength to wave the raft in his hand and rowed with all his might.
"Foolish heretic, it's precisely because you don't believe in God that God has brought disaster upon you.”
Taylor was very dissatisfied with George's words and cursed.
However, he also knew the seriousness of the matter. His movements were not slower than George's.
Unfortunately, the black shadow in the lake was clearly faster than them rowing the boat.
They were like a huge water monster, directly crashing into the simple raft that George and the other were on.
"Bang ~"
A dull crash sounded.
The simple raft swayed from the impact. The lake water even flooded the raft, wetting the clothes of the two people on the raft.
"Damn it! Stay steady, don't get knocked over!"
George shouted. At the same time, he used all his strength to maintain the balance of the raft.
"Oh! Damn it, we shouldn't have entered this lake. We're finished now!”
Taylor was terrified.
The huge black shadow at the bottom of the lake clearly did not have the intention to stop there. It once again slammed into the raft that the two of them were on.
"Bang!"
The violent collision this time had caused the simple raft they had made to undergo a bad change.
For example, the vines used to bind the wood had broken!!!
"Creak! Creak!"
The constant creaking sounds indicated that the simple raft could no longer bear the burden and could fall apart at any time.
This caused the expressions of the two people on the raft to change drastically.
Both of them knew that if they fell into the lake like this, they would basically die.
The two of them gritted their teeth and used all their strength to row the boat.
The black shadow below turned around and sped up again to hit the raft.
"Oh! F * ck God, he was f * cking done for.”
George let out a terrified roar.
"Oh! F * ck! Sh * t!"
Taylor wasn't any better, his expression panicked and terrified.
However, reality would not change just because of their panicked roars.
The huge black shadow once again slammed into their simple raft.
Just as they had expected, the raft could not withstand the heavy damage.
The vines that were originally firmly bound to the raft had already broken and scattered.
Without the binding of the vines, the raft was about to completely disperse.
"F * ck!" George roared angrily. However, his many years of experience as a mercenary made him unwilling to give up hope even in a desperate environment.
George decisively threw away the wood pulp in his hand and jumped onto the raft that was about to fall apart. He took the initiative to fly into the lake.
Taylor also saw George's actions, but he was a little hesitant.
He instinctively wanted to stay on the 'safe' raft and not enter the mysterious and terrifying lake.
George, who had jumped into the water, swam frantically to the shore, not caring about Taylor's life or death.
The black shadow in the lake sensed George's movements and split up a large portion to quickly chase after George.
At this time, they had already rowed more than half the distance. With George's leap, George was not far from the shore.
However, how could his speed, or rather, the speed of a human swimming, compare to the creatures living in the water?
In just a few breaths, George was caught up by the black shadow.
When the black shadow approached, George realized that it was not a water monster, but a bunch of bugs that he had never seen before!
"Sh * t!"
" What the hell!!!"
Densely packed bugs!
To George, this was not good news. On the contrary, it was even worse.
If it was a hydra, George might have been able to pull out his dagger and fight it, but he was powerless against the large number of strange insects.
The only thing he could do was to swim to the shore with all his might.
After the insects caught up, they directly bit George's body. Countless densely packed corpse beetles surrounded George's body in the water.
"Ah ~!”
George couldn't help but cry out in pain.
