Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 253 - 34: Berserk Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon
"Junior Sister..."
With a splash, soone had already entered the water.
The Senior Brother was helpless, but there was nothing he could do now. He could only focus on dealing with the strange statue in front of him.
On the other side, after Jiang Lai entered the water, it was pitch black all around, and she couldn’t see anything. She kept diving downward, holding her breath with determination to reach the bottom.
Suddenly, a white light flashed by, as if breaking through a barrier, and the surrounding lake water beca clear. Everything in front of her gradually beca distinct. Sothing was glowing at the bottom of the lake, and Jiang Lai continued swimming down until she finally reached the lakebed and discovered what was glowing.
"What is this thing?"
"As you can see, it’s a box."
"What’s inside the box?"
"No need to ask, of course the female lead took it."
After diving for a long ti, she only found a box that no one wanted. The Three Elents Spirit Fruit inside had already been taken by Mu Wu. Jiang Lai didn’t feel much emotion about it. After putting the box away, she continued exploring the lakebed and then touched a soft human face.
Enhanced by Spiritual Power, Jiang Lai could clearly see this person’s appearance.
Well, a familiar face, her Fourth Senior Brother.
Feeling around beside him, she quickly found Du Furong as well. The two of them were tied together with a stone tied to their legs and thrown into the lake.
Jiang Lai pulled them to shore one by one. By this ti, the Senior Brother had already dealt with the statue, leaving broken stone pieces scattered all over the ground.
Seeing the two people Jiang Lai was dragging, the Senior Brother’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly ca over to check.
"What’s going on? How did they end up in the water?"
"They were ambushed."
With that, Jiang Lai untied the ropes binding their hands and feet and then checked their breathing.
Both of them were still breathing, but Du Furong’s was a bit weaker.
Jiang Lai gave her so water, and Du Furong imdiately coughed up a large mouthful of black water, collapsing weakly against Jiang Lai’s body. Seeing it was her, she couldn’t help but cry out loud.
"I thought I was going to die!!"
Jiang Lai patted her head lightly.
"Don’t worry, you won’t die with here."
"It was... it was Mu Wu, she hit and threw into the water! And, and Fourth Senior Brother was also thrown into the water. Then he discovered sothing at the bottom, but I couldn’t see clearly... Then Mu Wu snatched it and left us tied at the bottom without a care!"
Jiang Lai nodded.
At this ti, the Fourth Senior Brother also woke up. His situation was better, with the Wood Spirit Ginseng protecting him, so he wasn’t as miserable as Du Furong.
"My Three Elents Spirit Fruit!!"
His first reaction upon waking was indignation and frustration.
The treasure in hand was gone just like that, and Fourth Senior Brother was entirely imrsed in anger and resentnt.
"Where’s Third Senior Brother?"
Soone was missing.
Fourth Senior Brother shook his head.
"I don’t know, he just ca over to have a drink, then we saw Mu Wu. Isn’t Third Senior Brother still trapped inside?"
Jiang Lai frowned.
It was at this mont that she noticed the wind around her seed to have intensified. With a sharp "whoosh," she looked up at the surrounding sandy slope and suddenly realized the fine sand was slowly flowing downward.
"This is bad, the sand around us is collapsing. It’s dangerous here."
The Senior Brother urged everyone to quickly go up. The excessively soft sand had no cohesion, and climbing three steps up would cause them to slide back five steps.
Everyone struggled to climb upward, the wind in front of them growing stronger. They intended to use Spiritual Power to fly up, but as soon as they exerted force underfoot, they would slide down again.
It was at this mont the Senior Brother suddenly felt sothing heavy underfoot. Caught off guard, he was directly pulled down with a "whoosh" and nearly slid straight into the lake.
Looking back, it was yet another statue. At this ti, the statue’s hand was firmly grasping the Senior Brother’s ankle, pulling him down.
The wind was growing stronger, the sand above was flowing downward faster and faster, and the Senior Brother had already inhaled quite a bit of sand through his nose and mouth. He glanced at the others climbing upward, none of whom had noticed his problem. He simply didn’t call out, kicking at the statue’s hand with all his might.
The statue’s hand felt welded to his ankle, unmoved no matter how hard he kicked.
The statue was slowly sinking into the flowing yellow sand. The Senior Brother looked up once.
He held his breath, gritting his teeth, making no sound.
If anyone tried to save him now, they might get dragged in too. So, he could only watch himself gradually sink into the sand, first his feet, then as the strong suction force beneath wrapped around him, soon his lower body was completely buried in yellow sand.
At this mont, he saw a broken tree not far away.
Without hesitation, he took out a rope from storage, threw it forcefully, and tied it to the tree trunk.
The tree trunk was bent at a ninety-degree angle, with the Senior Brother still hanging on tightly. The rope had already cut into his flesh, blood seeping out, dripping onto the sand.
The first to climb the slope, Jiang Lai, turned around unhurriedly and saw the Senior Brother with nearly only his head exposed.
They exchanged glances, but Jiang Lai stood there motionless until the Senior Brother was completely buried. It was only when the Fourth Senior Brother, who had just climbed up, noticed soone was missing.
"Senior Brother?! Was that Senior Brother who just went down?!"
"Yes."
The Fourth Senior Brother stared at Jiang Lai in disbelief.
How could she be so calm, as if the person who had sunk down had nothing to do with her?
"What should we do?!"
"What can we do now that he’s gone?"
"Junior sister, what’s wrong with you?! That was Senior Brother!"
The Fourth Senior Brother had beco accustod to seeking Jiang Lai’s advice first, but now her coldness scared him, even making him doubt if he was still in a dream.
Du Furong was about to cry out of anxiety, standing helplessly on the slope, looking at Jiang Lai.
"Jiang Lai, think of sothing! The Senior Brother was so kind to you, we can’t just abandon him!"
Jiang Lai nodded.
"Hmm, you’re right."
With that, she looked at the Fourth Senior Brother, gave a slight smile, and then directly lifted her leg to kick him down.
The Fourth Senior Brother’s cry was quick and short, and the next second, he was like a carrot being buried entirely in quicksand, disappearing before he had a chance to shout a few words.
"What, what are you doing?!!"
Du Furong was so frightened she staggered back, but she was no match for Jiang Lai. Once Jiang Lai grabbed her arm, Du Furong’s voice trembled.
"Jiang Lai, what are you doing? Why are you doing this?"
Jiang Lai sighed.
"What are you afraid of? I’ll go down with you."
With that, she directly pulled Du Furong’s arm and jumped down.
Du Furong’s screams were quickly drowned out by the quicksand.
As the darkness and suffocation enveloped them, everyone thought Jiang Lai had gone mad.
Just as the Fourth Senior Brother thought this was the end for him, filled with confusion and reluctance, he was prepared to close his eyes when suddenly his feet felt a suspension.
