Chapter 29: The Rope Breaks

Without further ado, the monkey and I tied ropes and went down the river one after another, and the edge of the river was waist-deep at most, and we were still able to walk by holding on to the wall on one side of the river. The middle of the river must be much deeper than here, and the monkeys and I don't plan to test the depth, and there is no need for that, just keep going for now.

Just in case, I let the monkey behind me, and I went forward to explore the way, because he was heavier than me, and even if I was swept away by the river, there was a monkey behind me and pulled me with a rope, and if he came forward, I couldn't guarantee that I would be able to hold him!

None of us knew what was going on in the lower reaches of the river, so I made a point of thinking that we would never walk at the same time every time, and that we would have to wait until one of us had already stood firm before the other could move forward, which meant that we were each other's insurance at all times.

We held a flashlight in one hand and a dagger in the other, and every step was extremely difficult, the whole river was wide and narrow, and with the flashlight, there was an uneven stone wall everywhere, and we could only move forward step by step with the current.

I don't know how long we soaked in the river, we just cared about walking downstream of the river, at first I and the monkey would talk to each other from time to time, but after soaking in the water for a long time, I felt that my limbs seemed to have absorbed enough water and became heavy mana, and then I didn't have the strength to speak, and I only heard the river flowing along the way, and in this extremely black underground deep river, the figure of me and the monkey seemed extremely insignificant.

I walked along the river for a while, the speed of moving in the water was too slow, and I was not sure how far we had gone, but at this moment, I suddenly began to feel that the current below us seemed to be several times more turbulent than before, and it was already difficult for me and the monkey to stand firmly in the water, and we always felt that there was a force trying to overthrow us, and it would be inappropriate to go any further, so we had to stop for a while.

I stuck my dagger into the crack in the rock, and I finally steadied myself, and I asked the monkey, "I say, do you feel that something is wrong, why is this water suddenly becoming turbulent, and the terrain of the river is not steep, and it will be difficult for us to continue walking at this rate!" ”

The monkey slowly leaned over to me and replied, "I'm heavier than you, and I don't feel very obvious for the time being, but it's a bit weird, could it be that the water in the underground river is rising?" ”

There is also this possibility, but it is not very likely, because the water in the underground river is formed by the convergence of various tributaries in the entire mountain, and even if the water rises, it is a relatively slow process, and the water speed cannot be increased several times at once.

I used my flashlight to shine down the river again, and I saw that there was fog ahead, and the visibility was no more than 10 meters.

The monkey took a breath and said, "What should we do now, even if the river is much more turbulent, we have to keep going, we have been walking along the river for so long, it is impossible to turn around and go back at this time!" ”

I thought about it for a while, and decided to move on, as the monkey said, at this time it would be too much to gain by turning around.

I told the monkey to always be careful with his feet, that every foot we had to land on the ground, and that we also threw some stones from the stone wall and carried them with us, so as to increase our gravity and maintain stability.

The further I went, the more turbulent the water became, and all the pockets on my body that could hold the stones were almost full, but I still felt that the force on my feet was getting lighter and lighter, and if we continued like this, we would all have to be swept away by the current sooner or later.

At this moment, I suddenly faintly heard a "pop" like a firecracker-like sound, the sound seemed to come from the downstream of the river, I immediately asked the monkey to listen too, the monkey listened for a long time and came to the same conclusion as me, he directly thought that someone was setting off firecrackers in the lower reaches of the river.

I have come to my senses, and suddenly a chill rises in my heart, is it really the same as I said at the beginning, the terrain of the river will have a drop in front of me? Could that snapping sound the sound of falling water? Combined with the sudden turbulence of the current, the fog that hung over the water in front of me confirmed my suspicions.

"It's not good, there is very likely to be a cliff and waterfall ahead, if we are washed down by the current, there is a chance that we will be smashed to pieces!"

As soon as the monkey heard me, he screamed, "Fuck, did you really make this crow's mouth right?" What can we do now, it should be too late for us to turn around and go back now! ”

I glanced at the turbulent water again, and knew that going any further would undoubtedly be tantamount to death, and then said, "So far, I can only go back!" "So saying, I urged the monkeys to retreat upstream, although there is still a certain distance from the cliff, but if we are not careful, we may be swept away by the water at any time, and now we can only retreat and redo the plan.

I was just about to push the monkey upstream, when suddenly, the monkey pointed behind me and suddenly shouted: "Old Yang, look, what is that?" ”

I was startled by the monkey and immediately looked back in the direction he was pointing, and the monkey continued, "What do you see on the stone wall in front of you?" Is it a tree root? ”

Before the monkey could finish speaking, I could see what he was referring to, and I saw that less than ten meters in front of us, there were indeed a few roots on the stone wall, and the roots of the tree were less than ten centimeters above the water, and we could only see the roots of the tree at this distance, and the rest of it had been sunk into the river.

Suddenly I had the urge to go and see it, and if it was really roots, and the roots were long enough, we might be able to use them to move on.

So I left the monkey in place, and I went to check it out alone, and there was a monkey dragging me with a rope, and it shouldn't be a problem to walk a few meters further.

I had barely taken two steps forward when I heard the monkey shout "Fuck! I immediately looked back and saw that the monkey had plunged into the water, but I didn't expect him to be washed away by the water before me!

Fortunately, there was still a rope tied around his waist, and I reacted very quickly, and immediately inserted the entire dagger into the stone wall, and at the same time I felt a brute force coming from my waist, and the monkey was dragged by me!

I immediately shone my flashlight downstream, and the monkey's head would pop out of the water from time to time, but he still had a hard time standing still, and he waved his arms wildly trying to grab the rope, but he couldn't even reach it after a few attempts.

At this moment, I was holding the dagger stuck in the stone wall in one hand, and the flashlight in the other, and I was dragging the monkey with the rope in my waist, and I myself was dragged to the surface of the water, and I was really worried that the dagger would not be able to bear it.

I put the flashlight in my mouth and held it in my mouth, so as to free one hand to grasp the rope, just as I grabbed the rope and pulled it a few times, suddenly, the strength of the rope suddenly softened, and it floated directly to the water, but there was no monkey on the other side of the rope!

"Monkey! Monkey! Where are you? Don't scare me......"

I hissed at the monkey, but there was no response, and when I looked downstream, all that was left was the severed rope swaddling with the current, and there was a dead silence all around!
