Chapter 13: Hope

Even the madness after extreme grief was completely unable to fight against the power of the whirlpool with Su Qing's strength alone, at most it slightly slowed down the speed at which some ships were sucked into the whirlpool, but it still rotated and drifted towards the center of the whirlpool at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What to do...... What should I do......" Su Qing shouted anxiously in her heart, if there were two people working together at this moment, maybe there would be a slight possibility of escaping, but the strength of one person was too small after all, and if it went on like this, it was only a matter of time before even the boat and people were sucked into the whirlpool.

Is there any way to do it? Is there anything that can be done to salvage the current situation?

What if you jump like a sea and don't care about the boat, as long as you can escape?

What are you kidding, this is undoubtedly extinguishing a glimmer of hope that may still be possible, even the world's most athletic swimmer can't escape from the whirlpool with her body alone, how can she do it?

Now she was not sucked into the center of the whirlpool in an instant, but only maintained a steady speed and slowly approached it, the reason was that the weight of the wooden boat brought great resistance, or centrifugal force, it was precisely by relying on this force, coupled with the external force of Su Qing's constant paddling, that she could barely support the current situation.

Abandoning the wooden boat and wanting to escape the whirlpool alone is definitely the stupidest idea in the world.

"What else can be done?" Su Qing clenched her teeth, and on her frantically swinging arms, the muscles that didn't have much were now almost completely stiff, and it could even be said that the concept of "arm" had been completely lost in her perception, and her hands had no intuition, just relying on instinct and an obsession to carry out mechanical movements, and even so, looking at Su Qing's appearance of sweating again in just a few seconds, this kind of action couldn't last long.

It's like the feeling of your legs in the final sprint of a 1,000-meter run – you are completely unconscious, you just move your legs mechanically as if they are not your own, and you are no longer yourself.

"Damn......" Su Qing watched as the center of the whirlpool got closer and closer to her, and the paddling of the oar in her hand slowly became less powerful due to the gradual loss of her physical strength and the acceleration of the speed of the current, and the effect began to gradually become less obvious.

Just watched himself approach to death step by step, but he couldn't do anything - even if he knew in his heart that this was not real death, but that kind of terrifying psychological pressure was by no means something that ordinary people could bear, not to mention that on Su Qing's shoulders, he also shouldered the heavy responsibility of surviving and bringing back the Book of Guides......

"What if...... If only my strength could be a little greater...... After all, I'm too weak...... This would not have happened if the air filter had been made earlier...... If...... If I could have more power...... I want to be stronger...... It's not just about combat effectiveness, it's a truly powerful ...... that can be calmly faced and easily solved no matter what happens."

Su Qing muttered to herself unwillingly in her heart, as if she had given up resistance.

"It would be nice if we could have more power......"

"Wait—"

Su Qing's eyes that had once become gray suddenly burst into incomparably bright brilliance, she raised her head, her eyes were full of crazy surprises, and even the indescribable joy of the rest of her life had appeared on her face in advance.

She remembered...... Why hadn't she thought of it sooner?

It's something I just got!

"Aya...... The power effect of the ten seconds after eating whitebait meat is really not a chicken rib...... In some specific situations, even a one-second power buff can instantly turn the tide......"

The corners of his mouth, which had been clenching his silver teeth before, finally flashed a smile, and a steaming piece of salt-stained grilled whitebait steak appeared in Su Qing's hand, and then at a speed that even gobbling up could not be described, the fish steak that was at least ten centimeters long and wide was stuffed into his stomach in just a few seconds.

This whitebait steak was stained with sweat dripping from her forehead and splashing seawater, but the most important thing was contained in this inconspicuous piece of food, which would give her hope of escaping!

The next moment, the whitebait was in the stomach, and the power effect was already present almost instantly.

Su Qing only felt a powerful current of heat rising from her lower abdomen and flowing through her whole body with a burst of momentum, almost instantly filling her exhausted arms with strength again, and she could feel that the increase in strength brought to her by the silverfish chop this time was probably not just one hundred and thirty percent - it might even be one hundred and fifty percent.

It's even better than what I felt after eating whitebait yesterday - maybe because this time it was a whitebait steak that I ate after being really exhausted, and my strength was back to its peak and stronger after going through the limit; Or maybe it was the whitebait steak that brought her hope, and the power of hope made the whitebait steak even more effective......

Exactly why, no one knows—and no one wants to know.

Su Qing only understood that within ten seconds of this increase in strength, she had to escape from this place with this power that was more than twice as powerful! Otherwise, she really has no power to return to heaven.

Because, the strength enhancement effect will restore the strength of her arms to the peak or even multiply, after all, there is a side effect - this side effect will make herself during the duration of the strength enhancement, the exhaustion caused by the body's consumption of strength, at the moment when the strength enhancement ends, return to herself exponentially, and even if the strength consumed during this period of time is too large, after the strength effect ends, there may be a situation of collapse and coma.

It's just that Su Qing can't care about so much now-side effects or something, before the power effect is over, who will care about it! As long as she can escape from here and find a glimmer of life, then no matter how violent the side effects are, it doesn't matter!

The increase in the strength effect on Su Qing was definitely obvious, and when she picked up the oar again and began to row more violently and frantically than before, the momentum that could not be reversed before was changed almost instantly by the seemingly inconspicuous rowing power.

The force of the whirlpool's absorption and pulling could no longer affect Su Qing's boat, this time, under Su Qing's more and more frantic and reckless and overdrawn physical paddling, the boat finally changed direction, not slowly drifting towards the center of the whirlpool at a speed visible to the naked eye, but quickly escaping from this terrifying whirlpool at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Eight, seven, six...... Three, two, one......
