The old Daoist Priest's face was ashen. He was only able to swim forward because he was brought along by the forest. His speed was simply too fast. Mr. Leng saw this and became anxious, but he did not move forward alone. Instead, he swam up and grabbed the old Daoist together with Lin Ziqiang. His speed increased considerably.

I was only interested in pulling Snowy and running for my life, so I didn't notice so much.

The cave became narrower and narrower, with at most three people swimming side by side. A few algae slowly appeared in the water. The current also became faster and faster. Snowy didn't know how to swim, so even with me carrying her, she couldn't help but choke on the water a few times.

I was worried something would happen to Snowy, so I subconsciously lifted her up. The old Daoist Priest's fire talisman had been extinguished long ago, and the surroundings had turned completely black. Fortunately, this algae could emit a weak green light, causing everyone's face to turn green. It could also vaguely illuminate the road ahead.

With the help of this green light, we swam forward with all our might. Ever since we entered the tomb, we had already eaten a meal. By now, we were already hungry to the point of sticking to our backs, and now that we were swimming in this turbulent water with light snow, the consumption of energy was even greater. Not long after we ran, I had already begun to see stars, and my hands and feet couldn't control me.

But at this time, he didn't dare to stop. Who knew when the purple snakes would catch up to him, so he could only force himself to swim forwards.

At this moment, the old Daoist in front suddenly said, "Not good, the bloody figure has already been broken!" His voice was extremely weak. Previously, the old Daoist Priest had used a few secret techniques in a row, causing his body to be in danger. Just now, he had risked his life again, making it seem even worse.

When we heard the old Daoist, we were also shocked. Even though we have reached the limit of our strength, a surge of energy came from out of nowhere and our movements became even faster.

I didn't know when this Purple Snake would come chasing me, but I would look back from time to time, afraid that the next time I look back, this Purple Snake would appear behind us.

I don't know how many times I turned my head. Under the hazy green light, I could vaguely see a purple light flashing under the water. I couldn't help but shout out, "They're chasing us!" Everyone's body stiffened. The old Daoist sighed and said, "We're finished. We're going to lose our lives here today!"

Mr. Leng also let out a bitter laugh and stopped. He said, "We won't be able to run away. Why don't we just fight with them here?" However, there wasn't much desire to fight for his life in his words. It seemed that he was resigned to his fate.

My heart was also filled with sadness. I might really die here today.

Seeing that this purple snake is already in front of us, we all gave up resisting and closed our eyes, waiting for death. At this moment, a cold feeling spread throughout my body. It was as if a block of ice had brushed against my body in the middle of winter, causing goosebumps to rise all over my body. I couldn't help but shiver.

The group of purple snakes seemed to have sensed something as well. They actually stopped in front of us before changing direction and swimming backwards at a speed even faster than before. Clearly, something even more terrifying had arrived.

The old Daoist Priest's expression greatly changed as well. With a trembling voice, he said, "Not good, the River God is here!"

When we first entered the river, we were worried about the River God, but the River God never appeared. On the contrary, he was chased by the Purple Snake until he was at a loss for what to do and almost died here. However, this river god was definitely not a kind character. He was most likely here to hasten their deaths.

Everyone was depressed. They were about to get out, but they never expected that there would be no such thing as a final pass!

My heart was unwilling to accept this. I clenched my teeth and said, "I won't accept my fate like this. I have to fight with everything I have!"

After saying that, Xiao Xue dragged Xiao Xue and continued forward. Xiao Xue did not resist and allowed me to pull her forward. The old Daoist and his group dispiritedly followed behind me.

The cold air behind me got closer and closer. I subconsciously increased my speed and followed the flow of the water, moving forward unceasingly. After advancing for a short while, the flow of water suddenly slowed down. At this moment, there was a loud sound, as though something was ruthlessly falling into the water. I turned my head under the green light of the algae and saw a green face disappearing in a flash.

I was shocked and couldn't help but cry out. When Mr. Leng saw the face, he knew that the situation was not good. He gave a loud shout before forming a hand seal and fiercely dived into the water.

Mister Leng's technique was very strange. It looked as if he had just kneaded a large sword, and ordinary people were unable to perform it. Following his actions, the two red ropes in his hands seemed to have come alive, like two goldfish swimming on his wrists.

When Mr. Leng's hand entered the water, I immediately felt my body warming up. It seemed that the cold air had dissipated quite a bit. He only heard a scream not too far away, as if the dog at home had been stepped on. The scream was sharp and loud. Then there was a big wave, as if something had come out of the water.

Borrowing the faint green light, it was possible to see that it was a huge snake that had jumped out of the water! This large snake was as thick as a bucket, but it was extremely short. It was only about two meters in length. Its entire body was green, but the head of the snake was a person's head! This huge snake seemed to have been beaten quite badly by Mister Leng's attack. It kept rolling on the surface of the water. As the huge snake kept rolling, he could see that there were two flesh sprouts under the snake's head. They looked like two arms from a distance!

Looking at the weird appearance of the snake, my heart jolted. Why does it look so similar to the strange snake in the mural outside? I couldn't help but ask, "Is this the River God?"

Mr. Leng continued swimming forward with all his might, saying, "Still not running? Do you still want to fight with this river god?"

I didn't have time to care about the doubts in my heart as I pulled Snowy along as I swam forward. This huge snake seemed to have recovered from Mister Leng's earlier attack. It swung its short tail and set off a huge wave as it chased after us.

I could only feel a huge wave crashing towards me, uncontrollably drifting forward with the wave. Seeing that the snake was about to catch up with us, Lin Ziqiang suddenly shouted, "Quick, look to the left!"

I looked towards the direction where the sound came from. There was a large hole in the cave on the left. No wonder the water flow was so slow here. The old Daoist immediately shouted, "Let's hide inside the cave first!" Hearing the old Daoist yell, we didn't care about anything else and started swimming towards the cave.

This large snake's speed was surprisingly fast. Just as Lin Ziqiang pulled the old Daoist into the cave, this large snake had already arrived beside him. It opened its mouth and bit towards Snowy. Snowy was shocked and pulled my hand to hide from me. Mr. Leng, who was standing beside Xiao Xue, felt anxious when he saw the large snake bite at her. He pointed his finger like a blade and chopped at the huge snake's body.

I watched as Mr. Leng's palm struck down, as if it were an illusion, as if Mr. Leng was really slashing down with a large blade.

The scales of this large snake were extremely fine. If one looked closely, they would see that these greenish-blue scales were covered in fine fur, just like the hairs on a human body!

With Mr. Leng's palm, the large snake let out a miserable shriek as if it had been cut by a knife. A large wound had appeared on its green scales, and red blood instantly flowed out. Who would have thought that this snake's blood was also red!

Mister Leng was not in a good mood as well. It seemed that he had used up a lot of his energy and his face had turned even paler. Although he had injured the snake, Mister Leng's palm was still an azure and violet color.

The big snake cried out in pain, rolling in the water, the red blood dyed the river red, the two arm-like organs on its body whipped up, Mr. Leng used too much strength just now, and was unable to react in time, he was hit in the chest, and was directly sent flying out of the water!

Right at this moment, I grabbed onto Snowy and swam towards the stone cave. Mister Leng was slapped by the River Deity until he flew in front of us. His face was like golden paper. If he fell into the water, there would be no hope for him.

I subconsciously reached out to pull him away as I swam towards the stone cave with all my might. The sound of the River Deity's struggle had also died down. I guessed that the River Deity must have already recovered some of its strength.

I was worried in my heart. Although the River God was injured by Mister Leng, his body didn't seem to have suffered any injuries at all. If we were to chase after him, based on our current situation, we would definitely be eating each other without running.

Mr. Leng was hit by the River Deity's attack just now, and fainted long ago. I was the only one who could pull Snowy forward. Snowy didn't know when she woke up, but she didn't know how to swim and only hugged me tightly.

Ever since we entered the tomb, apart from eating at the entrance, we had been running for our lives. I didn't have any teeth, so I was hungry to the point that my chest was pressed against my back.

This river god didn't care if I ate or not. His pair of small eyes stared fixedly at us as he swung his tail and swam towards us. His speed was extremely fast and he even drew a white wave on the surface of the water.

When I heard the River Deity's struggling voice behind me, I knew that things weren't going well. I subconsciously turned around and saw that the River Deity had already turned into a green shadow and appeared behind us. Surprised, I tried my best to pull the two of them to the side, just in time to pass the river god.

Even though I tried my best to dodge it, the river god still tore off a large part of Snowy's clothes when he rushed past her.

When the river god's attack failed, he swung his short and thick tail and stopped in the water, staring at us maliciously. From time to time, blood would flow out from the wounds on his body, dyeing the surrounding river water red, making it seem even more sinister.

I was lucky enough to avoid the river god's attack, so I didn't dare to stay any longer. I pulled the two of them and swam forward with all my might. Just as I was about to pass through the cave, the sound of water behind me suddenly sounded.

My physical strength had already reached its limit. Just now, I was just lucky that I exploded. Looking at the River Deity charging towards me, my heart was filled with despair and unwillingness. Today, I'm going to die here!

The previous escape had used up too much of Xiao Xue's energy and by the time I got here, her consciousness had already blurred. Even though she had already woken up, she could only tightly hug me. However, in the moment of life and death, Snowy miraculously recovered.

At this moment, the River Deity was charging towards us with a savage expression. Snowy was shocked and threw the bracelet to the side.

Maybe we were lucky, Xiao Xue's bangle just happened to hit the river god's eye. With a scream of pain, the entire eyeball seemed to have exploded, and fresh blood dyed the river red.

I was so happy that I couldn't care about how Snowy didn't take the bracelet back. I used this opportunity to go all out and brought the two of them into the cave.
