Adventure Guide No. 4: If you get lost in a cave, try to stay calm, and then judge the possible route back according to the direction of the wind and water.

*********************

Feeling his body falling, Sora subconsciously curled up and hugged himself into a ball, ready for the strong impact that was coming.

"Poof!" The expected pain didn't appear, replaced by a chill that enveloped the whole body.

He fell overboard.

"Ahem...... Ha, ha. Sora poked his head out of the water, inevitably choking as he breathed.

The icy river didn't slow down his thoughts, and his brain raced to think.

First there must be light!

I don't know where the flashlight fell when it fell, and although there was a spare one in the backpack, I couldn't take it out for a while. Then there is only ...... Hat! An empty mountaineering hat can emit light, but because it emits a green glow, it has not been used since entering the cave.

He struggled to fumble with the buttons on his hat. It should be right here, ah! Pregnant!

Suddenly, the originally pitch-black river finally had a ray of light. Although the faint green light can only illuminate the distance of less than 10 meters around, it is enough to see the front in this narrow river.

With the light, he finally didn't have to catch the blind empty and finally didn't panic so much, calmed down his ups and downs, and began to think of a way to get out of the predicament.

Sora floated in the turbulent river and thought about it, not because of how good he was at the water, but because the jacket and backpack on his body were made of green caterpillar silk, which was very light and could float on the water, which was an excellent material for making lifebuoys.

Kamio's father's money saved his son's life.

From time to time, there are forks in the road ahead, and the air is carried by the river and I don't know where to go. This also made him dispel the luck that he would be rescued quickly.

Hollow heart understands that it is imperative to leave the dark river as soon as possible, although with the help of clothes and backpacks, the physical exertion is not great, but he has been soaking in the cold river water, and in the end only death awaits him. Nana was in the pocket of her waist, and she hadn't come out of the ball until she thought it was too dirty. Now I can't let her out, because Nana is not good at swimming.

I can only rely on myself!

Recognizing the situation, Sora pulled out his cane from his bag and fastened it tightly to his hand with a wristband. He remembered that his father had said that the end of the cane was very sharp to make it easier to insert it into the soil. He had already missed the caves along the river twice just now, and in addition to not being able to react, the lack of focus was also an important factor.

Gripping the trekking poles in his hand, he let the water fluctuate up and down, quietly waiting for the right moment.

I don't know how long it took to drift, but when Sora felt his body go numb, a hole appeared in his field of vision. Holding back the excitement in his heart, Sora looked at the hole that was getting closer, and his body that was not in the water began to tense, silently accumulating strength......

5 m ...... 2 m ...... 1 meter ......

Now is the time!

There was a soft "click", and the cane was already deep into the rock wall.

"Shhh Fortunately, the timing and position of the cane piercing were good, and it didn't take much effort to poke his upper body into the cave.

Taking a breath, he pulled out his cane empty, and crawled into the hole a few centimeters in a row.

After feeling his whole body out of the water, he lay on his back on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Whew-"

I thought I was going to die.

Finally got out of danger, the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and all kinds of terrible emotions that were originally pressed by the will to survive came one after another, impacting the empty mind.

Those who have died once are not afraid of death? Zhuangzi said: There is great terror between life and death. Death is the most primitive fear of human beings, and Sora is not afraid of death, what he fears is the death of consciousness.

"Smack!" The Poké Ball in the pocket opened on its own, and Nana's body appeared out of thin air, landing on the empty chest, and licked the owner's face in a flurry.

"Alright, alright, I'm fine." Sora hugged Nana tightly, and felt calm. With her, she is not alone.

Nana leaned on top of her master, feeling her master's touch, unwilling to move. The elf could see outside the ball, and through the gap in her pocket, she could see the empty falling, falling into the water, and struggling. She hates her weak self, she hates herself who sees her master in distress but can't do anything, if she can be a little stronger, if she can evolve, she can help her master!

The relationship between the elf and the trainer is mutual, mutual recognition, mutual dependence, and mutual support, in order to go further.

Sora didn't notice Nana's abnormality, and even if she did, she would only think she was frightened. He set Nana aside and began to check her condition, which was cold but fine. There are some bruises and abrasions on the wrists, which were just strangled by the wristband of the cane, and it should not be a big problem after spraying the wound medicine. The green hat on his head really helped a lot, illuminating the river and allowing Sora to avoid the impact of reefs and rock walls several times in advance, although there is not much to do in the turbulent current, but as long as it is not a head-on collision, it is not so easy to be injured.

After checking his body, Sora breathed a sigh of relief, if he was seriously injured in such a place, he could really only wait for death on the spot. Then he found a flat, dry place and began to undress. Although the jacket and pants are waterproof, the clothes inside are not. If you fall into the river and still don't get wet, it's called a wetsuit.

The temperature of the ground is not susceptible to external influences and is always at room temperature, which is why it is said that it is warm in winter and cool in summer. But after soaking in the icy river water for a long time, and now taking off his clothes again, he only felt a chill from all over his body to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle.

Quickly took out the towel from the bag, wiped the water stains on his body indiscriminately, and then took out the warm baby that his mother specially instructed him to wear, tore it open and pasted it on his chest, soles of his feet and other places, feeling the warmth that slowly spread, he felt a lot better. At this time, Nana grunted into the empty arms, and the fur comparable to a high-grade blanket was tightly attached to his chest, itchy and comfortable.

It's worthy of my close-fitting little padded jacket, I love you to death~ Sora couldn't help but rub the little guy in his arms.

I felt a little hungry when I stopped, and I looked at my watch, and it was six o'clock. After estimating that he had been drifting for about an hour and a half, the speed of the dark river was at least 2m/s, that is, 7.2km/h. In other words, I drifted a total of 10.8km, but the dark river is winding and has many forks, so the actual distance will only be shorter, let's count it as 10km. The river flows in the northeast, so it is very likely to find a way out by heading southwest.

After roughly judging where he was, he didn't think much about it, and the top priority was to fill his stomach and recover his strength. So he took out the emergency food, gave Nana a little first, and then began to eat himself, and the water was gone, and he felt that he had drunk enough along the way. Originally, Nana refused, and was forced into her mouth empty. After that, I have to rely on Nana to protect herself, how can I not let her eat enough?

There is really not much food, and if you save a little food, you can last up to three days. It would be nice if he could find something in the cave to satisfy his hunger, and he recalled in his heart that his father taught him how to identify poisonous mushrooms, and if he encountered it on the way, he could practice it.

After eating, Sora only felt a strong feeling of fatigue rushing to his brain. Once the blood is concentrated in the stomach, the body's oxygen delivery to the brain is reduced, and the person becomes sleepy.

Anyway, it's not in a hurry, it's better to take a nap in the dark.

Thinking so in the hollow, he put his coat over himself, left his wet clothes aside, and then hugged the warm Nana and closed his eyes.

This side is empty-hearted and began to sleep, and on the other side, Dad Kami-tail's father is already going crazy.

"Circle bear, [burrowing]! Metal monster, use [Mindfulness] to remove the earth. Kamio Ichihei is heading northeast, and at this time, he can't care about the cave collapse, opening stones when encountering stones, and breaking walls.

When he saw his son fall into the dark river before, he still maintained some sanity after all, and did not jump down rashly, not to mention whether it was dangerous or not, he knew very well that there were many forks in the underground dark river, and with such a fast flow speed, he might not have saved his son but lost himself if he really jumped down. I thought about using a tyrannosaurus, but Kamio Ichihei vetoed it after observing it for a while, for no other reason, the river was too narrow, and it couldn't be used with the huge size of the tyrannosaurus.

He wasn't sure if Sora was in danger now, but he knew that Sora would not drown, and the hiking bag and jacket were specially selected by him, which were waterproof, lightweight, and could be used as a lifebuoy after falling into the water.

Sora must still be alive!

Kamio Kazuhei forced himself to believe, but all kinds of terrible thoughts kept popping up, shaking his mind. Damn, I'm such a useless father, can't even protect my own son in the end? He didn't dare to imagine that he would eventually find only his son's body, or not at all, and if so, how would he have the courage to face his wife.

Kamio Kazuhei punched hard against the rock wall, letting the pain stimulate him to suppress the negative emotions.

No way! Now is not the time to think about that!

Long-term practice and fighting have brought Kamio Ichihei not only strong strength, but also a firm heart. Even in a desperate situation, you won't give up easily.

He headed northeast for two reasons, one was the direction of the river, and the other was the positioning device in his hand, and he was sure that his son was drifting northeast before the red dot representing emptiness disappeared from the dial completely. Now, as long as you keep getting closer to there, and with the keen sense of smell of the Circle Bear, you will definitely be able to find space.

At this time, whether it is Sora who is resting, or Kamio Kazunihei, who only wants to find his son, he has neglected one thing. How did the previous earthquakes occur? Kazuhei Kamio had speculated that it might be a powerful ground-based Pokémon, so what exactly is it? Where is it now?

In the darkness, there is a behemoth ready to move.
