Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 166 The Torrent on a Rainy Night
Stepping on the muddy earth and rocks to climb a short slope, the scene in front of them forced the two to stop, under the pouring rain, this small valley has not been able to avoid being swallowed by the torrent, the original small col back to the steep slope of the cliff is a unique advantage to prevent wild beasts, but in the face of the torrent that poured here, it can only become a soup ocean.
"Don't come closer!
Roger stopped Linda, who subconsciously wanted to get closer, the moisture of the surrounding soil had long been oversaturated, and the trees near the riverbed washed out by the flash flood were slightly inclined towards the riverbed, compared to the surrounding soil that had already been washed out and hollowed out, at this time leaning over was really no different from looking for death.
The moment she was pulled back by Roger, Linda was still a little dazed, and her judgment plummeted after a long period of nervous running, but she quickly realized how dangerous her actions were just now, so she nodded at Roger as a token of gratitude.
Although he dragged Linda out of the danger zone that could collapse, Roger leaned over on his own, only to see that the guy had added a feather fall to himself, and slipped lightly to the water's edge.
Well, it doesn't look like it's been washed away for long, and the water hasn't completely overflowed...... But Jimmy's cabin is still half unwashed?
Roger crouched on the shore and first glanced at the roaring torrent under his feet, the already decayed wooden structures of the wooden houses floating in the water scattered and piling up in the slower water, and at first glance there was no desire to rummage through them.
"If you know the location, you still have a chance to ......"
However, Roger really didn't plan to play a 'puzzle' with that pile of rotten wood, and with his super memory, Roger looked at the wreckage of the wooden house that had shaken, and according to Jimmy, his father's house should be a little behind.
"Stand here and rest for a while, watch out for the beasts that have been forced out by the torrential rain, and don't go near the water's edge until I get back. ”
In the distance, Roger's exhortation came, and Roger threw over a ball of light condensed by illumination, Linda was already mentally exhausted, and she followed with the last strength of not admitting defeat, knowing that even if she was in the past, she would add to the chaos, so she did not recklessly.
Far away, because of the continuous rainstorm, there was no place to find half a dry place under the shade of the trees, so Linda could only find a fairly flat place to rest against the wet trunk.
At this time, Linda's ears were only filled with the sound of continuous raindrops, and the already dark night was even more exaggerated with boundless horror, and the faint light of the illumination looked pale and weak in the boundless darkness.
"He is boundless and formless, the past is there, the present is there, and the future is also, He walks in nothingness, at the beginning of time, unseen......"
Perhaps it was for the sake of courage, or perhaps it was simply Linda's habit, she muttered the religious texts of the Church of the Light, but as the tiredness came up, her consciousness blurred, and the murmur in her mouth changed its tone when she was half-asleep and half-awake.
"The winds sing His voice, the earth whispers His consciousness, and the eternal times show that the land of man was once under his rule, and that He will rule again over the land that man now does, and that summer will be followed by winter, and after winter will be summer, and they will wait patiently in the abyss, and on the day the kingdom of heaven will fall, their elegy will call our names!"
Linda didn't notice her blasphemous murmuring, she just hugged her knees, her eyes wandering along the area illuminated by the orb of light, and the earrings hanging from her earlobes kept emitting a soft halo, mixed with the light of the illumination, and Linda's tone flickered......
While Linda was dozing off because of exhaustion, Roger was staring intently at a strange ripple in the turbid water, and he still had a word in his mouth: "There are still a lot of snakes in the water, is it the rainstorm that poured into the snake nest and drove these little cuties out?" ”
Time was pressing, the water level had gradually risen, after a moment of scrutiny, Roger no longer hesitated, and cleaned himself up with a clean movement, leaving only a pair of shorts on his body, and plunged into the water with a pop.
The torrent formed by the torrent was far more turbulent than Roger imagined, and Roger's toes were stuck in the mud at the bottom of the water, trying to stabilize his body and not let the torrent carry him, but this was simply a fantasy in the raging torrent, and he could only change his center of gravity with the help of stone skin magic, and trudge through the water as hard as possible.
Roger's progress was not smooth, the torrent was mixed with rubble and rotten wood washed down from the height of the mountain, and in the turbid and dark torrent, Roger's pace was even more slowed, and in a short period of time, the remaining half of the wall was completely washed away by the torrent, and as the last trace of human society disappeared, it completely turned into a surging ocean of nature's anger.
The disappearance of the target did not discourage Roger, because his target was not there, and Roger still approached the original location of the cabin step by step.
However, the 'black shadows' hovering in the water could no longer bear their temperament, and they swam rapidly, and they saw that they had actually reached the vicinity of Roger's lower body against the torrent.
However, the corners of Roger's mouth, which had already been expected, were raised, and he didn't have to look down to find its location, and Roger's arm quickly fished down, and a python with the thickness of a baby's arm was fished out of the water by him, and the python that was caught twisted its body, and the powerful snake body was wrapped around Roger's arm, but there was nothing to do with the latter's rock-solid muscles, and its head was pinched by Roger, and it was completely unable to resist.
"Heh, I've been soaking in the water for so long, and I'm quite energetic, but your energy reminds me of the troublesome guys of the Snake Clan......."
Before he got down here, Roger noticed the existence of this python, but he really didn't expect that this python that was washed by the torrent would find trouble for himself, and he could only say that the spirit of this little guy was really good.
But since the food was delivered to the door by himself, Roger naturally had no reason to let go, he simply ignited a condensed light cone on his fingertips, easily destroying its nerves, although the central nervous system was destroyed, its body was still tightly entangled in Roger's arm, but Roger threw it into his storage ring without effort.
"It's all to blame on that hateful thief, that I don't even have a weapon to use now. ”
After this little episode, Roger waded cautiously forward, and at the same time remembered the 'silver vulture' in his hand, but he soon lost this leisure and elegance, the water was so deep that Roger was completely suspended in the water, and he had to swim against the turbulent currents, and several times the dangerous turbulence even swept up the traps that Jimmy had placed near him and brought them to Roger.
The torrential rain does not stop, falling in the torrent, stirring up a splash, like rain from the bottom down, Roger needs to avoid the debris and danger in the water, and at the same time has to try to find the direction in the rainy night with poor vision.
After some don't know how long, Roger finally swam to the original location of Jimmy's cabin, which was submerged in water, but fortunately it was close to the cliff, and the current was much slower than the previous section of the river, and the water was not so deep, which was still within Roger's acceptable range.
Taking a deep breath, Roger dived into the water, and as the surface of the water submerged his hair, the surrounding environment suddenly darkened, and the vision in the water was extremely poor, and Roger's dark vision was of very limited use here.
"If I remember correctly, this should still be the path in front of Jimmy's cabin, then it should be the wreckage of a half-piece of cabin that has just sunk......."
Judging by the general location of the surrounding area, Roger stared at the blurred shadow in the water and thought, since this guy can only swim in this way, if this is a bystander, he will see a shirtless young man swimming in the water with uncoordinated hands and feet.
Although the swimming style was indecent, it still sent Roger to the predetermined position, which was close to the bottom of the water, and the light was so bright that he could not see his fingers, and even Roger could only see a little bit of the foundation of the wooden house in front of him, and the mysterious cabin that Jimmy said about his father had long disappeared into the torrent as expected.
"Hmm~Woo woo, hmm!"
Roger swam around the neighborhood a few times before finally settling on his bearings, as he had never used the 'initial' ability before, so the orientation needed to be as precise as possible.
"Initially, reset this place to the day before yesterday!"
Roger spat out a few bubbles in his mouth, and he didn't know why this guy had to call out the name of the skill at this time, and under the influence of his concept, the flow of water around him suddenly slowed down, and it was absolutely dark underwater, but there was a passive light shining in, they weaved with each other, and in addition to the strange magazines in the water, they also illuminated Roger's pale face.
Influencing time and space outside of oneself through concepts is an absolute taboo for the 'initial' mother, this is a tragic lesson that Roger has summed up through a long experience of 10,000 years, what will happen if this taboo is violated, Roger has forgotten, but it is definitely not a pleasant memory.
But the lively-minded Roger thought of another idea.
The light still shines in from the boundless, it may be a gap that has been ignored by time, vision collects information through the reflection of light, light is the carrier of recorded information, light from tens of billions of light years away can bring a picture of the beginning of the universe, then Roger reconstructs the light here through his own concept - it doesn't need to be too early, even last night - maybe he can see the situation in that cabin!
