Returning to the shore from the pool, he swept to the bush where his body was hiding, and Chen Hai returned to his body.
After moving his body for a while, he stood up directly.
Under the dim moonlight, he searched for a while on the ground nearby.
After finding a branch that was more than one meter long and had a sharp end, he quickly walked towards the pool.
The giant toad was dying, its belly still turned over, floating in the pool near the shore.
Chen Hai noticed that the frequency of the ups and downs of the toad's belly was significantly increased compared to before.
If you ignore it and let this thing float here, maybe after midnight, it will dive into the pool again after regaining some strength.
To eliminate evil, we must do our best.
After the mother gecko returned to her body, Chen Hai's out-of-body soul could no longer cause any harm to this thing.
However, if he takes action in his true form, as long as he is brave enough, he should not have much problem dealing with this thing.
The branch he was holding in his hand at this moment was prepared for this toad.
Taking advantage of its illness to kill it, Chen Hai took off only his underpants and jumped directly into the pool.
Using the sharp end of the branch in his hand, he opened the toad's closed eyelids.
Then he stabbed the branch in his hand into its head along its eyes.
At the beginning, the toad seemed to be dying, but it struggled wildly for a few times.
However, with a ruthless look on his face, Chen Hai put a branch inside its head and stirred it up for a while, before the toad finally stopped moving and slowly lost all its breath.
"When the snake demon died, someone would buy the snake corpse it left behind for a thousand yuan!"
"But this toad is covered in pimples. Just looking at it can make you sick and make you unable to eat for several days."
"This thing is so big. If you drag him back, I'll probably be half dead from exhaustion!"
"It's hard to explain to my parents, so forget it. The key is, no one is likely to want to buy this thing!"
With his mind spinning in circles, Chen Hai looked at the dead toad a few times and thought to himself.
After confirming that the thing was really dead, he didn't bother to care about it anymore and just let it float on the pool.
As for tomorrow, how will others react after seeing this thing?
This is not within the scope of Chen Hai's consideration. Anyway, in his opinion, it is better to try not to leave his name behind when doing such a good thing.
After taking a short rest and regaining some strength, he slowly swam toward the crack in the pool where the toad had previously hidden.
The things hidden in the cracks at the bottom of the pool cannot be touched by the soul. Only by taking action can Chen Hai get it in his hands.
That area is the deepest part of the pool.
The water is six to seven meters deep. It is still a little difficult for ordinary people to dive in one breath.
Not to mention, after swimming near that area, you not only dive down, but also dig out the compass and broken tortoise shell from the cracks at the bottom of the pool.
Although Chen Hai already knew the specific locations of the two objects, his vision was a little blurry after he dived into the bottom of the pond.
Even though he knew the approximate location of those two things, he still needed to spend some effort to find them.
Fortunately, Chen Hai's water properties have always been good.
After all, in the era he lived in, children were wild-tempered and liked to play in the reservoir whenever they had nothing to do.
When he was six or seven years old, he had already learned to swim. By the time he was ten years old, he could swim back and forth in a river that was 40 to 50 meters wide by himself.
Dive into the water, hold your breath, don't dare to say more, hold on for two or three minutes, and there will be no problem.
Swimming to the approximate location of the crack, he took a few deep breaths, and then plunged into the pool with a sudden movement.
In May, the weather was already very hot. Even though it was night now, the pond water was much cooler than during the day.
But for Chen Hai, apart from feeling cool, he didn't feel anything else.
Sneaking into the bottom of the pool where the crack was, he did not get into the crack entirely.
After all, the height of the crack is only twenty or thirty centimeters.
Even if a person can barely get his head into it, there will definitely be a certain risk because there is no room for movement.
He had observed before that the location of the compass and the broken tortoise shell did not go very deep into the crack.
As long as he chooses the position well, he can put his arm deep into the crack and grab those two things out of it.
His arms groped randomly within the cracks, but for the first time, he was in vain.
After groping for nothing, he could no longer hold his breath and had to surface and take another breath.
The second time, he did touch something, but based on his feeling, he estimated that what he touched was a skull.
Although he was brave, holding one of these things in his hand in the middle of the night still made him feel a little numb.
After quickly letting go, he surfaced again.
The third time, he was lucky and successfully pulled out the broken tortoise shell.
Putting the tortoise shell back to the shore for the time being, Chen Hai continued his plan to find the treasure.
In fact, in his eyes, the value of the two things in the crack, the compass, must be much greater than the broken tortoise shell he just found.
Sneaking into the bottom of the pool and groping in the cracks, the compass was his main target, and the palm-sized broken tortoise shell was just a passing sight.
Returning to the location of the crack, Chen Hai continued to dive and explore.
After trying several times, he finally felt that he had touched the compass.
He grabbed this object in his hand, and in order to hold it tighter, he used a little more strength in his hand.
The next moment, his whole heart went cold.
Because, he could clearly feel that the object he was holding in his hand seemed to have completely rotted and rotted, and it was broken into countless pieces.
Objects such as compasses are mostly made of wood.
Unless it is that kind of dark wood, ordinary wood will indeed rot into disarray after being soaked in water for so many years.
Chen Hai was depressed. After swimming back to the shore, in order to confirm that the compass in the crack at the bottom of the pool was really completely destroyed, his soul left his body again, turned into a leech, and sank into the pool.
In this state, he could clearly see that within the crack, the compass that had looked intact before was now completely in disarray.
Although there are only four or five large pieces of the compass, the number of small pieces is countless.
He originally thought that after taking this thing out of the water, he could sell it for a lot of money.
But now, with the compass broken into pieces like this, he knew without even thinking that it must have no value at all.
Depressed, Chen Hai returned to the shore.
"Turtle shell seems to be used as medicine, but the parts of this tortoise shell are not even big enough to be palm-sized. Can this thing be sold?"
Looking at the broken tortoise shell placed next to the main body, he muttered dissatisfiedly.
