Chapter 20: Desperate Struggle
It happened so suddenly that everyone sank into the water unsuspectingly.
The water is as black as ink, and the depth is bottomless.
After Xiao Mo sank, he couldn't distinguish the direction at all, and he couldn't see the scene under the water at all, the only thing he could do was to swim desperately upward.
However, as soon as he swam upwards twice, he felt a resistance in his body. The resistance did not come from the front, but from behind him, or at his feet, to be exact.
One of his feet seemed to be entangled in something!
Xiao Mo struggled to lower his head, and subconsciously opened his eyes wide and looked at his feet, because the visibility in the water was really limited, so he only barely saw a black thing.
The thing floated in the water, like a woman's hair.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Mo scolded secretly in his heart, and his feet were still struggling violently, but his struggle seemed very futile at this time. Because not only did he not get rid of the restraints, but he only felt that his other foot was also entangled.
Both feet were entangled to death, Xiao Mo's heart sank suddenly, and at the same time, he choked on a mouthful of water extremely badly.
"Ahem......"
Xiao Mo coughed, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands, but he couldn't hold on.
"What should I do?"
There were bursts of tension from his feet, and Xiao Mo's body also sank down again in this pull.
Xiao Mo has two danger alerts on his body, so when he encounters sudden fatal danger, the danger alert can play its role. Of course, if it wasn't a sudden, but like he was now, he would slowly suffocate in the water, then the danger warning would not be activated.
That's why Xiao Mo gave up struggling and directly cooperated with the pull of that thing, so that that thing could give him a fatal blow.
No doubt. This is another big gamble, and if he fails, he will be drowned.
Xiao Mo's body fell heavily, because he couldn't inhale oxygen because he held his breath for a long time, Xiao Mo only felt heavy, and his brain began to become less and less awake.
But just when Xiao Mo was about to suffocate, he vaguely heard a faint scream ringing in his ears. The moment he heard this voice, Xiao Mo seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and began to struggle desperately. And constantly overdraft the physical energy to swim upward.
Because his feet had broken free from the restraints, even though his body was weak, Xiao Mo still rushed out of the water before the critical point of his life.
"Ah...... Call......! ”
The moment his mind came out of the water, and the air from the outside world penetrated into the pen, Xiao Mo only felt that every pore in his body was soothed. It was only at this moment that he truly felt how beautiful it was for human beings to be able to breathe freely.
"Whew...... Call......! ”
Xiao Mo breathed greedily with a faint fishy smell, and the rain was still falling. Ripples ripple across the water.
Thinking of the entangled thing underwater, Xiao Mo didn't dare to stay on it too much, and after taking two breaths, he desperately swam in the direction of the land.
Because it's not very far from land. So Xiao Mo quickly got out of the water, but after he went up, he lay on the ground exhausted.
The dark clouds overhead gradually dissipated, and the obscured moon was finally revealed.
Moonlight is like silver. At this time, the heavens and the earth were illuminated.
Xiao Mo kept crawling in the direction away from the water, and in the process, he also heard shouts from afar. Because of the interference of the sound of rain. So he didn't hear whose voice it was, and what was being said at the moment.
Zhou Tao and Yang Shouxin have completely disappeared. Not only these newcomers, but even Wen Qiayun and Chen Cheng were all washed away.
Although Xiao Mo said that he was worried about the safety of everyone in his heart, he had just escaped by luck, and he was also too weak to deal with others, so there was nothing he could do.
Since he was unable to find and rescue others, Xiao Mo simply withdrew his thoughts and didn't think about it for the time being, but instead focused on the gap that cracked not far away.
The gap was the culprit that had swallowed them up before, no less than fifty meters wide, and the length was unknown.
Xiao Mo suddenly felt that this was very imaginary with the bank of the Chen River not far away, and when he looked carefully, he was more sure of this in his heart. The gap that suddenly cracked open and filled the river was connected at one end of the river to the strange Chen River.
At the same time, on a "river bank" not far from Xiao Mo, Wen Qiayun was like a fairy in the water, standing in a light mask that emitted colorful light.
She stood in the water, but the rushing river could not drown her. Not far away, countless whirlpools inlaid with human faces were rushing towards the place where she was.
Wen Qiayun didn't know if she didn't notice it, or if she didn't care, in short, she still stopped in the water and let those water ghosts get closer.
"Hold on to me."
Wen Qiayun stretched out her hand and motioned for Li Sixuan, who had just come out of the water, to grab her.
Hearing this, Li Sixuan was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand without thinking too much.
Wen Qiayun dragged Li Sixuan out of the water, and then let her into the light mask. Li Sixuan's whole body was already soaked, and her wet hair was sticking to her face, so cold that she hugged her shoulders and kept shivering.
Of course, her gaze was full of disbelief, but it was still firmly fixed on the mask under their feet.
Seeing that Li Sixuan had recovered a little, Wen Qiayun reminded him to go to the shore to rest. Li Sixuan nodded blankly, and with the help of Wen Qiayun, he cautiously walked towards the shore.
In the process, those water ghosts, who were already hungry, were naturally reluctant to let them go like this, so they kept frantically impacting the light mask that wrapped them.
The colorful light mask is constantly deformed by the impact of the water ghosts. This also frightened Li Sixuan, who was staying in the light mask, was shocked, for fear that the magical light mask would suddenly shatter.
But fortunately, until the two of them escaped to the riverbank, the light shield was not broken by the water ghosts.
Wen Qiayun and Li Sixuan were tired and panting, and on the river not far away, those water ghosts gathered together in shock, like a bunch of human skin masks thrown into the river.
"Thank you...... You saved me. ”
After a short period of calmdown, Li Sixuan hurriedly thanked Wen Qiayundao.
"It's nothing, it's just you, and you'll do it." Wen Qiayun showed a sweet smile and said with some meaning.
"Hmm." Li Sixuan seemed to understand Wen Qiayun's words, and saw her nod solemnly.
"By the way, what about the others?" (To be continued......)
