Chapter 50: The Fallen Tree
The situation is critical, and I can't say much, I grabbed Liu and wanted to pull him out, but I couldn't pull him out at all!
I shouted, "Run!" If you don't run, you'll die! ”
Liu Shiyi also shouted at me: "What are you crazy about! I want to die on your own! ”
I was so anxious that my throat seemed to be closed, and I was afraid that he would not go out if I didn't make it clear to him like this!
"When this tree falls, it must have its trunk downward! We're all going to get screwed! ”
Liu Dongxi is a clever character, naturally he is thorough, and he has nothing to say at the moment, just get up and run, faster than me!
I followed behind, secretly annoyed that I had lost time, it seemed that my thinking was still not suitable for this environment, and the simple problem was complicated!
At this time, the ground had begun to split, and the whole tree began to shake violently, and Liu and I ran along the tree in the direction of the canopy. Although the trunk of the tree was wide and it was no different from running peacefully, it shook so hard that I almost fell off the tree several times.
After barely two steps, the ground began to slide and the trunk of the tree slowly tilted. I wondered if it could be possible that such a slow descent could be affected by air resistance, and I glanced down as I quickened my pace.
It turned out that the tree was lying on the edge of the ground, and the crown was still resting on the hill, but the trunk was sliding down with the fallen ground. I felt the trunk tilt more and more, looked at the canopy close at hand, carried what little strength I had under my feet, and prayed to myself not to fall.
It's like something out of a video game, and it's hard to describe the absurdity of being in it.
When I felt that the friction under my feet had been lost, and there was already a gravitational pull behind me, another piece of ground had to sink in time.
With a loud bang, the trunk returned to my feet.
I grabbed the straw and in a few steps I scurried into the canopy, clinging to a branch. Almost at the same time, the body was suspended in the air!
Liu Dongxi: On the branch next to me, the monkey squinted at me! I felt relieved, and almost fell down again, so I hurriedly hugged and scolded, "Liu thing, you bastard, let you go, you don't go, it's almost in the jar!" ”
Liu Shixi said something with a smile, and I didn't hear it clearly. By this time the fall had already begun, and the tree had lifted itself out of the ground. I felt lighter, barely holding on to the branches, and I felt like I was flying in the mountains before. No other sound could be heard in the ears, filled with the shrill sound of the wind.
Liu Dongxi gestured at me, and the two of us began to climb up, and now although this branch is strong, it is too close to the bottom, and it is still not safe enough after all, so we still have to find a place with better support.
The tree was like a large parachute, and it quickly controlled the momentum of its fall, giving us time to buffer.
The tree swirled slowly in midair, and the wind whistled like a knife through the branches and leaves, carrying the stumps and leaves, and cutting countless tiny cuts in the two of us.
Half of the mountain had collapsed, countless things were falling faster in the air than us, and I even saw a giant python snaking its body in the air, falling helplessly.
The climb gradually began to get strenuous, and I kept looking for the right branch to focus on and then flipping myself up, the process felt very familiar to me, and I had been climbing and running non-stop since I came to this place, and I had become a little numb to these things.
At this time, a large mountain under my feet had already fallen into the water, and the splashing water rushed up from below, and the force was so great that I didn't even have time to react. It just swept me off the branch.
I couldn't help myself, I was swept deep into the canopy with the current, colliding back and forth between the branches, and finally got stuck on one of the branches, and I felt the world spin around, and my eyes went black, and I vomited.
There was nothing left in the stomach for a long time, and only two mouthfuls of stomach acid were vomited. My mouth was sore and my head was dizzy, but I remembered my situation. Looking left and right, Liu Dongxi had long since disappeared, and I didn't know if he was still on this tree.
I shouted twice, and as soon as I spoke, the sky collapsed and became invisible. I looked at the water getting closer and closer, and thought to myself that I couldn't take care of him anymore, so let's take care of myself first!
I'm in a lot of danger right now, especially when the tree is in the water. I had to find a strong support to survive the next collision.
Thankfully, I wasn't swept too close to the edge of the canopy by the current, and I was still around the trunk. There was a depression around me surrounded by two main branches. I crawled over and curled up in the hollow. I used the Fixing Light Sword to cut through one of the main branches, and I just had time to grasp the hilt of the sword and enter the water.
The trunk of the tree calmly broke through the water, accompanied by a deafening loud noise, the sound of wood cracking kept coming through the trunk, if I still had time at this time, I would have been glad that I had made a wise choice, if we were still in the hollow of the tree underground, I am afraid that there would not be even slag left.
There was a crash beneath me, a few blows on the branches below me, and I did my best to shrink into the depression, feeling the vibrations of the trees, and even hearing the tiny streams of water flowing at high speed through the gaps in the bark.
The process of entering the water was very fast, and a large amount of water rushed in an instant, and I held my breath and considered whether to let go and float to the surface.
A slanted thorn grazed the broken branch above me, and it was unwise to give up so easily, such a strong refuge was a blessing from heaven.
I just held the hilt of my sword and lay quietly at the bottom of the water, waiting for the moment to rise.
The water was muddy, countless bubbles were steaming past me, and they were the only ones who were bright under the dark water!
It took about a minute or so before I felt the thrust coming from under me, and the ascent began!
I was so clumsed in the depression that I couldn't hold it anymore. When I entered the water, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have much stock, so I squeezed the trunk and the water at both ends, and I spit out involuntarily in my chest.
I couldn't help but think of how similar I was to the whirlpool when I came in, and how similar it was to my situation, and perhaps this was really the end of this adventure.
One night, I had a conversation with Liu about the entrance, and we both thought that the waterhole at the top of the mountain was undoubtedly a passage to the outside world, and that it was more feasible to go out by water. After all, no matter how closed this place is, the air and water always have to communicate with the outside world. We can't use the air, but there has to be a place for such a large amount of water, and following the flow of water is definitely the most reliable way!
With a sound of water, the tree rushed out of the water at a very high speed, fell back into the water, and so on.
I curled up in the hollow, shaken to pieces, praying in my heart that I would not be thrown on the water.
I don't know how long it took for the big tree to slowly fall on the water, splashing all over the sky. From the outside, it must have been impressive, but in my opinion it was just another dive.
The tree rippled and tumbled on the water, and I entered and exited the water several times, but I never fell off the tree.
It was like sitting on top of one of the most complex, exciting, dangerous and inhumane rides in the world, and my mind was almost out of my head, and maybe this was the only thing that would pay for the ticket. Just when I couldn't hold it anymore, the tree stabilized in a flash. I felt the water around me reced, and when I opened my eyes, there were only relatively thick branches around me.
In front of me is an empty water, turbulent and turbid!
