"For some plants, that little bit of water is enough to survive, but their color is mostly dry."

"Plants that require a lot of water can't survive here. Let's keep going."

Su Chen nodded, looked back twice, and still felt that the thing was wriggling, but plants shouldn't move.

Maybe it was the wind, or I saw it wrongly.

The group continued walking, and it soon got dark. Su Chen calculated the time with his fingers. It was only two or three hours since they came in. The daytime on this island was too short.

Professor Yan walked so far that he could not walk anymore, so the group found a cave as a temporary place to stay for the night. They absolutely could not live on the sand at night.

Once there is quicksand, people will die without being able to react.

Su Chen sat on a rock and looked around. It was empty and he didn't sense any Yin energy. That happened thirty years ago. Even if he found those corpses, it would be hard to find any Yin energy left.

At night, they simply ate some compressed biscuits and drank some water to feel full, and then took turns to keep watch.

Under the cover of darkness, no one noticed that the blackness on the mountain wall was spreading faster and faster. Something like black tentacles stretched out and wrapped around the ankles of the night watchmen.

After piercing the protective suit and about to insert the needle into the blood vessel to suck out the fluid, a sudden gust of wind came out, startling the night watchman, who stood up suddenly and looked around.

A sense of crisis came over me, and my heart started beating fast. I looked at the thick white fog, waved my hand and tried to disperse it, but it quickly gathered again.

My ankle felt a little cold. I looked down and found that the protective suit on my ankle was torn. I frowned slightly: "Huh? When did it get torn?"

The night watchman turned on the light at the ankle and saw a hole in the protective suit. It looked very smooth, as if it had been cut by something.

He murmured, "How strange."

A voice sounded behind him: "What's so strange? It's my turn to keep watch. You should go and rest. Have you noticed anything wrong?"

"It's okay, it's just that my ankle protective suit is torn."

"Ah, then go and take care of it quickly before the bugs get in."

"Oh, I see."

After changing shifts, the man sat on a rock and looked into the darkness, his eyes full of vigilance. He was so sleepy in the middle of the night that he didn't even notice that his protective suit was torn until he felt a sharp pain in his ankle.

The man suddenly woke up and opened his mouth to shout, but something like a rope was suddenly tightened around his neck, making it difficult for him to breathe, let alone shout.

Just as he was about to suffocate, he felt a burning sensation in his pocket and a sudden release on his neck. The man hurriedly shouted, "Help, help, help!"

"Ahem, there is something, ahem!!!"

The loud shouting alarmed the people in the cave, and they all rushed out. Seeing this, the black shadow quickly retreated and coiled up on the cliff wall without moving.

Lu Sheng walked over quickly, extended his hand to help the man over, and said in a deep voice: "What's wrong? Did you see something?"

Li Wei shook his head and covered his neck, unable to speak. He felt better after a while and said in a hoarse voice: "Just now, I felt like someone was strangling me and I almost suffocated."

"What did you say, human? There's no way there's anyone alive here except us. Try to remember what that is."

"Come on, lift your head so I can see your neck."

When he tilted his neck back, everyone could see clearly the deep marks on his neck. It was obvious that he was trying to strangle someone to death, but why did he stop?

"Li Wei, how did you escape?"

Lu Sheng looked at him and asked in confusion.

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, thinking about what had just happened, and subconsciously reached into his pocket to feel around. As a result, the talisman paper turned into ashes as soon as he took it out.

Everyone looked at this scene with surprise, took out their own talismans, which were still intact, and then combined with what had just happened.

"Is it this talisman that saved your life?"

"But... Master Su said that this talisman is useless unless it's an evil spirit. But now it's turned to ash, which means the thing that attacked me just now wasn't human at all."
