Chapter 266: Surviving in the Rapids

Zhu Xishi, who was lying on the rock and gasping for a while, said when he was a little relieved.

"It's safe for now, but we can't stay in the water for too long."

Carefully avoiding the turbulent current, Zhu Xishi turned slightly sideways to take in his surroundings, and raised his finger to point towards the gentle flow of water to the southeast.

"The water is slower there, so I'll dive over to see if I can find a place to stay."

"You are careful"

Breathing heavily, Zhao Zhenyuan understood that now was not the time to be manly, and he had to rely on Zhu Xishi to survive.

Zhu Xishi nodded, and carefully calculated the distance in his mind, the gentle place of the water was about five or six zhang away from them; If you follow the lĂŹ, you should be able to reach it by diving to the bottom and touching the underwater rocks with a breath. Having finalized the idea in his heart, Zhao Zhenyuan, who was not very worried about poisoning when Zhu Xishi, hurriedly admonished again.

"You have to be careful yourself, you have to hold on."

"Know"

After explaining, Zhu Xishi seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, took a sharp breath, and immediately touched the rock in his hand and dived to the bottom.

The water in the hot spring pool is only more than three meters deep, and Zhu Xishi quickly dived to the bottom along the rocks, but the undercurrent in the water is still not to be underestimated; And because of the rapid flow of water, Zhu Xishi was almost invisible in the water, and could only gamble on luck in the direction he set.

In this short period of breath-holding diving, it was also a huge test of Zhu Xishi's courage and physical fitness. With every inch of progress under the undercurrent, Zhu Xishi had to make sure that the next rock he touched was solid enough. before they dare to move forward; Her tense nerves knew that the slightest negligence would wash her away from the undercurrent.

And at this time, Zhao Zhenyuan was lying on the rock. While panting sharply, he stared at the movement on the water. Will it be swept away by an underwater undercurrent? Will it be off course? Zhao Zhenyuan didn't dare to think much about these fearful questions, and every moment he spent in tension, he was silently praying for Zhu Xishi's safety.

Time passed little by little, and the uneasiness in his heart rose in a straight line, and he couldn't breathe against Zhao Zhenyuan's throat. Nothing really happened to her, did she? The color of horror gradually stained Zhao Zhenyuan's pale face, and his lips and teeth trembled involuntarily. The repression of emotions is approaching a tipping point.

When he was panicking, suddenly there was a splash on the water in the distance, and Zhu Xishi appeared like a carp rushing upward; A hand with a touch of water that fascinates the eye. She floated to the surface and gasped for air.

"Shih Tzu!! Ahem"

Probably because the scene in front of him was too exciting, when Zhao Zhenyuan shook his voice and called Zhu Xi, who had just emerged from the water, he didn't want to be too anxious for a while, and after the joy, there was a violent cough.

Zhu Xishi, who had just come out of the water and breath, heard Zhao Zhenyuan calling himself. It was also panting and responding to him.

"I'm fine! Take care of yourself! ”

His cough sounded like he was going to cough out his heart and lungs. Zhu Xishi felt scared when he heard this, and hurriedly swam towards the shallower water.

However, at a distance of two feet, Zhu Xishi's feet could already touch the bottom, and a sense of solidity suddenly arose in his heart: it was finally safe!

"There's a shore here! Zhao Zhenyuan, wait a minute, I will find a way to get you over! ”

Excitedly, he called out to Zhao Zhenyuan on the water rock in the distance, and Zhu Xishi, who was wet, strode towards the shore.

On the shore, Zhu Xishi looked at the surrounding situation in a panic, only to find that there was a hole in the water outlet of this cow's mouth trough! Where there is water, flowers and trees naturally grow. Moistened by the constant supply of hot springs, the rock face is covered with lush shrubs: raspberries, green pines, thorns, dodder seeds, wild date palms, mountain rhododendrons, and more. Vine!

Looking at the snake-like twisting vines, Zhu Xishi suddenly became overjoyed, and immediately called Zhao Zhenyuan excitedly.

"There's a way, Zhao Zhenyuan, I have a way to save you ashore! Bear with me a little longer!! ”

Without delay, Zhu Xi can take action.

Without a sharp weapon in hand, Zhu Xishi could only collect vines on the rock wall with his bare hands, which was not a labor-saving job. A woman not only has to tear off the strong vines, but also pierce her hands in the face of the dense thorn bushes at hand; But these seem to be difficult at all, Zhu Xishi has nothing more important than being alive, and this little flesh and skin suffering is only a small meaning to her.

In order to ensure a success, Zhu Xishi collected more than a dozen vines before and after, and then two vines were tightly wound together to form a rattan rope; Every ring and knot are fine, and the wound between the palms of the hands is broken and scabbed over by the rough vines, and the scabs are broken and broken, I don't know whether it is painful or tired, and the dense sweat fills the entire forehead.

It took nearly an hour, and the rattan rope about ten zhang long was finally completed!

Tie one end of the rattan rope to the solid stone on the shore, Zhu Xishi tied the other end of the rattan rope around his waist, and then entered the water again and moved towards Zhao Zhenyuan's position.

When he was about to approach the rapids, Zhu Xishi dived to the bottom of the water according to the previous method to reduce the impact of the water. This time, with the protection of the rattan rope on the shore, Zhu Xishi sneaked back to Zhao Zhenyuan very smoothly.

"Here, tie it up."

Zhu Xishi, who stabilized his body in the water, carefully untied the rattan rope around his waist and tied it to Zhao Zhenyuan, and told him cautiously.

"I'll pull you over when I'm over again. Before you do, you'll have to fix the rope for me so I can follow it back to the other side, understand? ”

"Know you be careful"

"Well, you have to hold on, and you'll be safe soon."

With the same worried sound, Zhu Xishi began to move, and returned to the shore along the rattan rope that connected the two sides.

After Zhu Xi entered the turbulent water, Zhao Zhenyuan obviously felt the pulling force on his waist suddenly increase; Looking at her ups and downs in the rapids, Zhao Zhenyuan also tried his best to stabilize his head and ensure that Zhu Xishi could survive safely to the greatest extent.

Although there were one or two dangers in between, fortunately, Zhu Xi had the foresight to make this rattan rope solid with two strands, otherwise she would probably have been washed away by the broken rope.

Returning to the shore without danger, Zhu Xishi hurriedly took the final step.

"It's going to be fine, Zhao Zhenyuan, work hard!"

With a loud cheer, Zhu Xishi pulled the rattan rope tightly and began to retract it to the shore, and with the tightening of the rattan rope around his waist, Zhao Zhenyuan also let go of the rock at hand and began to cross the stream.

However, this last step was not an easy one.

The poisoned Zhao Zhenyuan had already tried his best at this time, and he could only float in the rapids like a small boat, and naturally, the heavy responsibility of strength fell on Zhu Xishi. With both hands desperately pulling, standing on the ground with his right foot and pedaling with his left foot, Zhu Xishi fought with all his strength against the impact of the rapids.

"Use some force and try to stabilize your body! Soon to be ashore! ”

The rattan rope pulled by the huge force suddenly turned into a steel wire for cutting hands, and Zhu Xishi's hands fell with blood; Although he knew that the taste of this embedded flesh was unpleasant, Zhu Xishi still tried his best to collect the rattan rope.

Zhao Zhenyuan, who was floating in the turbulent water, had already choked on the water in his nose, and his consciousness began to become confused. And Zhu Xishi, who saw that he had little effect, was also anxious, if he helped to exert his strength, it would not be long before he drowned in the rapids!

Between the voices, it suddenly rose to the highest level in his life.

"Take a breath, sink down, and climb the bottom rock to stabilize your body!!"

After Zhu Xishi's reminder, Zhao Zhenyuan, who had just emerged from the water, hurriedly took a breath according to her method, and immediately sank to the bottom of the water. At this time, Zhao Zhenyuan's body under the water was stable, which significantly reduced Zhu Xishi's strength, and he took advantage of the situation to quickly retract the rattan rope, racing against time to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The time of one breath was already the maximum load beyond Zhao Zhenyuan's body, and Zhao Zhenyuan, who was climbing the rock at the bottom of the water, suddenly lost consciousness and let himself drift with the waves. However, this desperate time to fight for Zhu Xishi's rescue, Zhao Zhenyuan, who surfaced, finally crossed the rapids.

"Zhao Zhenyuan!"

While holding the rattan rope in his hand, Zhu Xishi rushed into the water with all his might, holding Zhao Zhenyuan who surfaced.

"It took me a lot of effort to pull you over, you must not die!"

Looking at Zhao Zhenyuan, who fell into a coma at hand, the most instinctive reaction in Zhu Xishi's mind was "life and death"; But in this quiet mountain trough, except for Zhu Xishi's crying voice, no other sound could respond to the helplessness in her heart

A palm grazed the shoulder blade of the leader "Ghost-faced Man", although it was fierce, it couldn't enter his body at all.

At this time, under the joint attack of Gu Miaoqing and Feng Ke, he had already made more than 300 moves with this leading "ghost-faced man", but there was no sign of gaining the upper hand; On the contrary, the gradual exhaustion of strength made the two retreat into a defensive state, and began to show their inadequacy.

At the moment of crisis, if they don't fight quickly, I'm afraid that the three people they are present will die here. Gu Miaoqing's heart was horizontal at this time, and she suddenly gathered the true power in her body and urged the Xuangong "Heavenly Silkworm Transformation"!

At this time, the leading "ghost-faced man" also noticed Gu Miaoqing's change, and immediately withdrew from Feng Ke's entanglement, and used his full palm of true power to hit Gu Miaoqing with all his might.

Although the power of the "Silkworm Transformation" is amazing, it must be quietly guarded and gather internal force when it is launched; At this time, if the internal force is suddenly dispersed by the external influence, the consequences will be at least crazy, or at worst, you will die on the spot. And the leading "ghost-faced man" seems to have seen through the mystery and wants to take advantage of the situation.

Feng Ke, who had been invincible for a long time, naturally understood that Gu Miaoqing was urging Xuangong "Heavenly Silkworm Transformation" at this moment; The success or failure of the palm, Feng Ke didn't care about his safety, and he picked up the "King Kong is not bad" and flashed forward, and took the palm from the leader "ghost-faced man" on behalf of Gu Miaoqing.

Sure enough, the power is not trivial, even if there is "King Kong is not bad" in his body, Feng Ke is also shocked by a palm! (To be continued......)
