Chapter 32: Lucky to get out
The desperate Dana still can't let go of his strong concern and worry about Taya and Xia Lei'er, which is simply torment for Dana, who is helpless. He stared intently at the clear spring for a long time, the surface of the water shining with the light refracted by the stone wall, and occasionally a ripple.
Suddenly, Dana had a bold idea, he felt that he could dive into this spring and try to find a way out, even though he didn't know where this water source would eventually lead, but the only option he could try at the moment was to escape from here.
Dana wasn't sure if he would make it, but he knew he had to try. So Dana slowly poked his head into the water, feeling the temperature of the spring water at the right temperature, and he finally made up his mind not to hesitate any longer. If the fate of Taya and Charelle is likely to be more than lucky, his own life is no longer so nostalgic. Thinking like this, Dana took a deep breath and jumped into the water, diving quickly to the bottom.
Because the visibility under the water was almost zero, Dana could only touch the surrounding stone walls and quickly paddle down the depths of the cave. Dana, who was groping in the water, suddenly came to a very empty area, and he could feel that the water was not moving. Knowing in his heart that if he wanted to escape, he had to find the dark river that flowed underground, and he glanced back at the faint light reflected from the spring, and without looking back, he swam straight ahead and kept swimming in one direction.
It was pitch black in front of him, and Dana seemed to have come across some school of unknown fish passing by him. Dana, who had always been a little nervous, couldn't help but secretly rejoice, as long as there were fish here, it meant that he could follow the direction of the fish to the outside world. Dana knew in his heart that the fish here knew where the flowing river was and where the stagnant water was. This is the ability of fish to survive, if they stay in the stagnant water for a long time, they will slowly suffocate to death, and the flowing water can ensure that they can bring enough oxygen.
Excited, Dana touched the stone wall twice in order to catch up with the fish, and even slowly puffed up a bag on the right side of his head. In order to protect himself from injury, Dana had to fumble in front of him with one hand and change direction with the other, while reducing the frequency of his legs swinging up and down, slowing down his progress.
Time passed inexorably and slowly, about half an hour passed, and Dana, who was still struggling to grope in the water, suddenly felt the water around him clearly feel the water flowing around him, and the flowing water obviously had some warmth.
Slowly, Dana's heart regained hope, and he realized that he had finally entered the flowing low river, and as long as he kept moving along the flowing river, there was hope for him to see the light of day.
In fact, Dana did enter a slow-flowing underground tributary of the Kan Bing River, which originated in a pool under the Baiwu Mountain Waterfall, flowed through the intricate deep underground rock formations in the southeast of the Gu Poison Forest, and gushed out of the Kan Bing River and the Red Lake through several underground channels.
The embarrassed Dana stumbled and tossed for a long time, and finally emerged in a Kan Binghe inlet at the foot of Baiji Mountain, not far upstream of the Baiguo Forest. Although Dana is an amphibious, his limit can stay underwater for about 50 minutes at most, and the severe lack of oxygen makes Dana completely lose any strength at the moment he emerges from the water, and his whole body feels cold at this time.
Dana looked feebly at the other side of the river, at the woods bathed in the morning Kata star, and he finally felt a warmth in his heart, but Dana could only float in the river and drift with the current, barely exposing his face to the surface of the water and slowly recovering his vitality.
After about 10 minutes, the strong Dana finally regained some strength, and he struggled to turn over just in time to see a ginkgo forest on the shore. The white fruit tree is also distributed in small quantities on the banks of the Mana River in the northeastern Kalle savannah, but in the eyes of the scale demons, it is regarded as a wild fruit, which is not their staple food, and usually the scale demons occasionally eat this wild fruit to supplement vitamins.
Hungry Dana was attracted by the fruitful white fruit forest, and he struggled to swim to the other side. The gentle surface of the river was slowly cut by the tired Dana, and gradually fanned out on both sides, and the water mark continued to crack forward until Dana reached the other side.
At this time, the dazzling light just spread to the Kan Binghe, and Dana lay quietly on the beach, feeling the intimate light, and he suddenly missed his father and mother very much, and wished that he was at home with them at this moment. Although Dana hates his father's nagging, now that he has experienced life and death, he feels that he misses his father's nagging.
Dana rested for more than 20 minutes before he basically regained his strength, and the strong hunger caused him to climb up and come to the white fruit forest in front of him. At Dana's feet were scattered ripe ginkgo fruits, most of which had been cracked, but a few were still intact.
Dana sat on the ground and picked up a ginkgo and quickly broke it open, holding the whole thing to his mouth and starting to gobble it up. The sweet juice stimulated the big guy's appetite, and he was eager to swallow the whole ginkgo in one gulp, and the purple-red jam was repeatedly squeezed in Dana's rapidly open and closed mouth, splashing out of the corners of his mouth.
Dana didn't bother to wipe his slippery chin at all, he didn't care about his embarrassment, and thought to himself that if Taya saw his appearance, he would definitely scold him for being like a pig.
However, the pleasure of eating suddenly disappeared at the thought of Tagu Dana, and the whereabouts of Taya and Xia Li'er were unknown, making the scale demon who had just entered a state of selflessness and enjoy food all his heart suddenly return to reality. In fact, Dana has been worried about the two of them, but the excessive psychological pressure has made him inadvertently enter an instinctive state of self-preservation, and the pressure on his brain needs to consume a lot of energy, and now he must first replenish himself enough physical energy.
Poor Dana once again stirred up the psychological burden of worrying and missing Taya and Charelle, and although the ginkgo fruit in his hand was not as hearty as he had eaten before, he knew that he had to fill his stomach first no matter what, so that he could set out to find them as soon as possible.
Dana was eating when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the front, and he looked up vigilantly, only to see two jumping bears, one large and one small, rushing from the other side of the woods towards Dana in a panic. And following the jumping bear is a hideous-looking long-billed dog, which runs very fast, and is not inferior to the jumping bear in the slightest.
Dana instinctively stood up in the face of the uninvited guest, and made way for them, and the jumping bear quickly flashed past him. Chasing after the jumping bear is the leader of the Nampa family of the Gorha Dog, Nampa is larger than the average Gorha dog, and its body is strong, and it can jump up to 5 meters away when chasing the jumping bear. The ferocious Nampa followed the mother and child jumping bears in front of her, trying to grab them so that she could enjoy a good meal.
Nampa's eyes caught eye on Dana, who was hiding nearby, but she didn't have time to make a final jump with all her might, trying to hold down the fat female jumping bear that had fled to the water's edge.
It was too late, but it was too late, and the two jumping bears in front of them also held back their strength and crawled into the river, and Nampa barely slapped the tail of the female jumping bear with his right paw, and finally could not stop the prey that it was about to succeed from escaping into the river, and it could only watch them disappear into the water.
After a while, the mother and son of the jumping bear showed their heads on the river more than 10 meters away, turned their heads and looked at Nampa on the bank in horror, at this moment its eyes were sharp but did not look at the jumping bear in the river, but arrogantly raised its head to look at the other side of the river, and then turned around silently and walked back.
Nampa had noticed that there might be a good meal behind him, and he turned confidently, staring at Dana and letting out a low roar.
Nampa had never seen a scale demon before, and he was not sure if the prey in front of him was a threat to him, and the purpose of Nampa's low roar was to test and deter the prey.
Seeing the big dog in front of him turn his head and look at him, Dana felt bad, he quickly calculated in his heart that he had no weapon in his hand, and in the face of this big man with four canine teeth more than 10 centimeters long, he was almost a lamb to the slaughter. Dana's only way to survive now is to flee into the river like the two jumping bears just now.
Unfortunately, Dana's frightened gaze was keenly recognized by Nampa, who slowly approached Dana step by step, beware of the prey escaping, of course, Nampa did not know that Dana was going to flee into the river.
"Whew!" Nampa was about 5 meters away from Dana and jumped up and pounced on his prey.
Although Dana's heart is full of fear, he knows the meaning of his perseverance, and he is on a mission to save Taya and Charelle.
Dana calmly dodged Nampa's attack, apparently the Scaly Demon's sensitivity on land ensured that their race could come to the land to thrive, which was a condition for the race to evolve and avoid the threat of land predators.
Dana knew very well that if he was in the jungle with this big dog, he would not be able to threaten him for a short time, but it would be difficult for him to get out. However, Dana was worried about Tagu and Charelle at the moment, so he deliberately went to the bank of the river to avoid Nampa's onslaught again and again, of course, he didn't dare to run away directly, because Dana's advantage of agility was based on the moment when the big dog jumped in the air, so he had to ensure that Nampa was in his sight, otherwise he would die at any time.
Seeing that he was still less than 4 meters away from the river, Dana still didn't dare to risk jumping into the water, he knew that if he acted rashly, the big dog only needed to jump to catch him.
Dana confronted Nampa in the hope that it would pounce on him again so that he could have a chance to make sure he escaped into the water. The eyes of both sides were fixed on each other, and Nampa already understood that the prey had been taking advantage of the moment he jumped to avoid his own attack, but it could not find a way to deal with it for the time being, let alone that the other party was waiting for its last pounce to escape.
Nampa paused for 30 seconds without any action, which made Dana anxious, he didn't dare to be careless for a second, always ready to dodge the other party's pounce, but he never waited for the opportunity to escape soon, Dana's heart slowly collapsed a little.
Dana wondered in his heart, had the other party seen through his intentions? Or are you deliberately playing a mental game with yourself?
Just when Dana was anxious, he suddenly noticed a trace of timidity in the deep eyes of the big dog yin, and he really couldn't believe his eyes. Yes, Nampa lowered its head and looked to the left, then turned to look at Dana, and then twisted its lithe form and reluctantly ducked into the woods.
Nanpo's sudden departure left Dana, who was stunned, staring at the spot in a daze, and was wondering if it was the other party's trick, when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him shouting his name.
"Dana!" By the time Dana turned around, Tagu had already landed in front of him, and he hugged the big scaly demon who was two heads taller than himself.
"Valley." Dana shouted her name excitedly, a pair of big hands stopped in the air and did not hold the mothman sister, he knew that Taya regarded himself as the closest brother, Dana finally touched Taya's white hair gently and did not speak.
"Charelle!"
Dana then noticed Xia Lei'er sitting on the shoulders of a giant in front of her, and Xia Lei'er jumped to her side excitedly.
"Dana!" With tears in her eyes, Charelle grabbed Dana's arm tightly with her left hand, and held Duogu with her right hand to look up at Dana: "I'm so worried about you!" It's nice to be lucky that everyone is okay. ”
"I can't believe it's a false alarm." Dana said excitedly that the honest Dana likes to express his inner thoughts in simple words.
Dana looked at the two people he cared about the most, and he almost didn't cry. From last night to now, the fate of their two sisters has been in a blur, but they didn't expect that in the end, they had a false alarm. Dana finally hugged Charaire and Taya emotionally, and their friendship and affection for each other made the big man can't help but feel his inner emotions, and he expressed his inner excitement and excitement through hugging, all of which seemed to be a dream.
After a moment when everyone had calmed down, Dana looked at the giant in front of him who had been silently waiting and watching them, and thought to himself that he should be the same giant who had been killed halfway last night, but how could the person next to the giant be so similar to the strange man who came last night? Tatsuna's head was a little messy for a while, but he was sure that they had helped Taya and Charelle.
