Chapter 983: Li Fan's Guess
Go back?" Li Fan had to hold John.
John decisively rejected the proposal: "No, I have a strong premonition that there is still danger ahead, and it is close. Even if I am swept away by the river and fall all the way down the waterfall, I will never go back to the shore on that side. ”
"Maybe you're right, but ......" Li Fan said, and the raindrops had already hit him: "To cross the river smoothly, we have to speed up." ”
"Then fight!"
John yelled, jumped straight forward, and swam up.
The torrential rain in the jungle is unimaginable to urban people, and the intensity of the rain on people is almost like the artificial rain when filming a vulgar TV series, the hero and heroine cry in the rain without an umbrella, and a fire truck is parked outside the camera......
John and Li Fan changed from wading to freestyle, and the current situation no longer has to think about conserving physical strength.
The problem now is just a surge in the water level, but after a few more minutes, it is likely that there will be rapids or schools of piranhas, even if it is Li Fan, in this case, the fun will have to be finished.
Li Fan's initial estimate of the distance was relatively accurate, and two minutes later, the two climbed onto the mud on the opposite bank.
The two were finally able to go ashore safely, and I have to say that there is a certain element of luck, if they stay in the water for dozens of seconds longer, or a broken tree suddenly floats upstream, it is estimated that they will be able to incense them at home today next year.
Looking back at the torrent behind him, Li Fan only felt afraid. The so-called warrior is just a person in front of the forces of nature, and he is far from being strong enough to face the great power of heaven and earth calmly.
The rain is getting heavier, the water level continues to grow, and the river bank is in danger of flooding.
When they had recovered a little, they quickly got up from the ground and tried to find a place to shelter from the rain.
John's mood was much better, and although he had become a chicken in the soup, he felt that the enemy had been separated on the other side of the river, and that the adventure was worth it, and that he might be able to sleep peacefully tonight.
"John, I have bad news for you, you have to be prepared. Li Fan said suddenly.
John said, "What is it? What did you have in your pocket and fall into the river?"
"No, don't be afraid of what I'm going to say. In fact, I'm scared of all the ...... right now."
John suddenly felt his scalp tingle and stammered, "What the hell is going on?"
Li Fan pointed to the jungle not far ahead: "This road...... Do you remember, the way we crossed the river? ”
John looked in the direction of Li Fan's finger, and his face instantly turned pale.
"I also saw the footprints we left when we came, although they have now been washed away by the rain. ”
Li Fan said and turned back again: "Look at the opposite side, it is the opposite bank we saw before crossing the river, and the scenery is completely the same. ”
John sat down on the ground: "What's the matter...... No way...... Why is this happening?!"
Li Fan said: "A more reasonable explanation is that we turned around and came back by ourselves. ”
"Impossible! Did we turn a hundred and eighty degrees and swim in the wrong direction without knowing it?" John yelled with a twisted face.
Li Fan took a long breath, the rain made the hair on his forehead stick to his eyelids, he pulled back his hair, and said with a solemn expression: "In our country, there is an ancient saying called ghost hitting the wall. ”
"Ghost ...... Beat...... wall?"
John finally figured out the meaning of these four words, and his face suddenly turned pale.
He leaned against the tree in despair, clutching his hair with both hands: "It's a curse! This place is cursed! This damn rainforest! It must be like this! Therefore, all the instruments, the compass, all of them don't work! We're done, haha, we're done!"
Looking at John's appearance, Li Fan calmed down: "Instead of attributing it to supernatural phenomena, it is better to make some reasonable speculations, although I said that it was a ghost hitting the wall, but this thing has long been confirmed to be a ghost." ”
John's eyes widened, he stepped forward and grabbed Li Fan's collar, and asked excitedly, "Do you know what's going on here?" He looked like a madman at the moment.
Li Fan frowned, broke away from John's hand, and said lightly: "Tricks, magic, visual effects, whatever you understand, the so-called ghost hitting the wall is very likely to be just the environment's deception of our brain." ”
Listening to Li Fan's words, John calmed down a little.
Li Fan's words are very reasonable, and compared to those imaginary terrifying curses, the trick may be more likely.
"In addition, it is also possible that the magnetic field is related, and I have heard that too strong a magnetic field can also cause hallucinations in the brain......"
When Li Fan said this, he was suddenly slightly stunned, he remembered that a strong person with internal strength like Song Ming, the powerful aura was enough to affect ordinary people, and even make them hallucinate.
And a Dao realm powerhouse like Li Fan, the unfolded aura can even directly make people unconscious, and even manipulate ordinary people to the extent of manipulating them.
He hadn't thought carefully about the nature of internal strength before, but now that he thinks about it, does the aura of internal strength also have some of the attributes of electromagnetic waves?
Even further thought, will this place be ......
John saw that Li Fan was suddenly stunned, and he didn't know whether to interject, and after a while, he snapped his fingers twice and waved his hand in front of Li Fan's eyes: "Hey! Charles! It's okay?!"
Li Fan came back to his senses: "Oh, it's nothing, think of something." He continued the topic earlier: "Forget it, instead of thinking about the useless ones, let's think about the next plan." ”
John had largely recovered from the initial shock and panic by this time, and he composed, wiping his face with rain.
"I'm afraid I can't keep going. The rain was so heavy that it took too much energy to cross the river just now, and the worst thing was that the visibility was getting lower and lower, and I was afraid that it would be dark in a few hours. ”
"Well, let's find a place to hide from the rain first. Li Fan replied and immediately left.
Naturally, it was impossible for John to stand in the rain in muddy clothes, so he quickly followed.
The terrain of the rainforest is so high and low that it took them more than ten minutes to find a suitable place.
With your back to the cliff and the sloping protruding wall above your head just enough to keep the rain out a few meters away, it's uncomfortable to squat in this narrow shelter from the rain, but it's better than standing outside.
After the failed river crossing just now, they found themselves still in the same place, and the most terrible thing was that outside the eye range, there was an unknown force that seemed to be watching them all the time, trying to prevent them from leaving this rainforest.
Everything turned into invisible panic and pressure, weighing heavily on the hearts of Li Fan and the others.
