Chapter 24: A Tree Grows into a Forest
When Enron discovered the whirlpool, the three of them had already fallen into the whirlpool, and the huge suction force quickly sucked the three of them towards the center of the whirlpool.
There is nothing to climb in this water, and even a strong man with a thousand strengths is helpless. The three of them could only watch as they were swept into the whirlpool.
Fortunately, they are not bad in water, and when they are close to the center of the whirlpool, An Ran shouted: "Take a deep breath and swim along the whirlpool, maybe there is a glimmer of life!" ”
After shouting, An Ran took a deep breath, plunged into the water, and swam hard in the direction of the vortex.
His idea was simple, to be able to form such a huge whirlpool, the water must flow into a larger space. Follow the whirlpool and enter a larger space one step earlier, and you may be saved.
However, Enron soon discovered that this method was really whimsical.
Approaching the center of the whirlpool, the huge power of the crying vortex made him unable to control his body, and he could only spin wildly with the vortex, dizzy in the blink of an eye, and could only close his eyes in pain.
After being caught in the center of the whirlpool, the rotation intensified, and An Ran felt that the bones in his body were about to be rolled into twists, and he couldn't even think, let alone save himself.
The violent rotation soon blurred Enron's consciousness, and he only remembered to hold his breath, hold his breath, hold his breath......
Perhaps driven by the instinct to survive, Wei Shanhe always held his breath until he lost consciousness.
In the end, nothing is known.
……
Dead?
I don't know how long it took, An Ran only felt that he was floating in a dark space, and it became difficult to breathe.
But he hadn't forgotten to hold his breath.
He felt himself floating in the air, his body being dragged by a mysterious force, as if the soul of the legendary heaven had entered the heavens, fluttering with the wind or something.
But he was very uncomfortable, because he was holding his breath, feeling like his lungs were going to explode, and he was trying to open his eyes and see if he had gone to heaven or hell.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore, he opened his mouth and tried to breathe, but instead of air, he entered his mouth. The water suddenly filled his mouth and drilled into his stomach frantically.
An Ran was extremely uncomfortable, struggled to raise his head, opened his eyes suddenly, and suddenly a breath of air with a hint of sweet fragrance entered his mouth.
Regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, An Ran opened his mouth, breathed the air greedily, and gasped violently. For the first time, he felt that the air he breathed every day could be so sweet.
He gasped desperately, his body gradually regained his strength because of the enough oxygen inhaled, and the ethereal feeling of nothingness gradually disappeared.
Consciousness soon returned.
Only then did he find himself floating in a waterhole, which was neither big nor deep, and the water was only waist-high. The water was flowing down from a waterfall in front of me, and it was rattling.
"I'm not dead!"
Regained consciousness, An Ran didn't care where he was, and his first reaction was to find Xia Bing and Wang Shengli.
The waterhole is not big, and you can see it at a glance, and there are several people floating around. Among these people, some fell to their deaths in the cave, and some fell into the water and did not know whether they were alive or dead, judging from the clothes on their bodies alone, there were no Xia Bing and Wang Shengli.
But An Ran didn't give up, turned over one by one, and found that there was no Wang Shengli and Xia Bing, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Didn't they fall down the whirlpool?
An Ran's heart suddenly became very chaotic, but there was a glimmer of hope, at least there were no corpses of the two here, and they might not be dead.
It's just that now he is the only one left, and he is still in this unknown place, which makes him a little dazed.
Fortunately, Enron has read many articles written by adventurers and knows that he must be calm at this time, otherwise his psychology will easily collapse. He forced himself to compose, looking around for anything that would allow him to survive before trying to figure out how to leave.
Make up your mind, clear the confusion in your heart, and look up at the waterfall peacefully.
The waterfall flows from a hole of water about ten meters above, and the current is gradually getting smaller.
Enron knew that this water hole must be connected to the huge cave, and now there was not much water in the cave, so the water flow was getting smaller.
Looking carefully at the rock wall in front of him, it was smooth, there was still a lot of slippery moss on it, and the rock wall was straight, it was almost impossible to climb up, and An Ran could only give up this idea.
So he turned around and looked to the other side, only to turn around, and the whole person was stunned.
The waterhole is connected to a stream that winds its way forward. On both sides of the stream, there are some strange trees, very dense. But if you look closely, you can see that there is only one tree on each side of the river.
But this tree is very strange, it has no leaves, and it is densely packed with trunks. When the tentacles touch the ground, they burrow into the ground, take root, and become new trunks, on which more branches and tentacles grow.
In this way, the tentacles touch the ground and become the trunk of the tree, which in turn grows roots. In this continuous cycle, a tree becomes a forest.
In the end, it was impossible to tell which trunk was the original trunk.
"A tree becomes a forest!"
Enron thought it was just a legend, but now, this scene of trees and forests really appeared in front of him.
Such a magical sight attracted An Ran to leave the waterhole and step into this strange forest, and couldn't help but reach out and touch a tree trunk.
The tree was very slippery and covered with green moss, which made the strange tree with no leaves look green.
The forest formed by strange trees obscured the sky, and it was impossible to see what was happening above the forest, but there were some strange sounds coming from above the forest.
Walking in the forest, the light is a little dim, but you can see the road clearly in front of you, and it is not difficult to walk.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, An Ran saw a handprint on the tree, a very complete handprint. The trunk of the tree is covered with moss, and if you shoot it, it is a handprint.
Enron was sure that it was not his own handprint, because he only touched the moss on the trunk with his fingers, and did not pat it with his hands.
In addition, moss is a plant that grows in a dark and damp environment, and after being damaged, it will repair itself, and after repair, the handprints will not be visible. This handprint must have been left just now, otherwise it would have only taken a day for the moss to repair itself.
An Ran was overjoyed in his heart, wondering if this would be left by Wang Shengli?
Anyway, it won't be Xia Bing, her hands are not so big.
If you can leave a handprint on the work, you must pass through here, and you will definitely leave footprints on the moss on the ground.
An Ran hurriedly squatted down to look, and sure enough, he found footprints on the ground. It's just that the footprints are very messy, and they don't look like a person.
After counting, An Ran immediately frowned: "There are at least five people!" ”
There are five footprints of different sizes that can be seen on the ground, indicating that at least five people passed through the area. There is also overlap in the footprints, and if there happen to be two people who are about the size of their feet, the number of people may be even larger.
An Ran immediately thought of the people who fell from the sky in the cave, and the short-legged corpse outside the Falling Dragon Mouth Canyon.
The identities of these people are very mysterious, and they can do it to their companions, which shows how ruthless they are. If Xia Bing and Wang Shengli fell into their hands, it would be really dangerous!
