Chapter 14: A Moment of Life and Death

The leaves fell, the river was turbulent, and from time to time there was a roar of various beasts in the jungle that shook the shore, and Jing'an's body kept rising and falling in the water.

Jing'an has always been running the exercises, always calculating the angle and speed of each wave, and calculating his breath exactly the same, once there is a problem with the middle loop, as long as you choke on a mouthful of water, the rhythm may be disrupted, and it will enter a vicious circle.

The consequence of that is that he will never recover, and he will sleep in this river forever. Even if there is only half a hope, you must not give up!

The river is getting faster and faster, and there is no sign of calming down. Jing'an's eyes were bloodshot, and the strong and high mental concentration made Jing'an struggle on the verge of coma!

Jing'an's body was forcing him to rest, but Jing'an knew that resting now was no different from suicide! Coupled with the lack of smooth breathing, Jing'an's mind was in a state of uncontrollable!

The body has found the rhythm of breathing in this state, but finding the rhythm and being able to adapt are two different things! Jing'an tries to adapt herself to the rhythm of breathing, but the headache caused by stuffiness is getting worse and worse!

Jing An's mind was running more and more slowly, but fortunately, his body's instincts were getting more and more adapted to this rhythm, and he didn't need to put too much energy into maintaining it.

The things in front of him have gradually blurred, and Jing'an can't support it anymore! He wants to force himself to wake up! He can't rest! He can't be unconscious, as long as he closes his eyes, he can't open them anymore!

Jing'an tore open the strap that had tied the wound before, grabbed it, and the intense pain made him wake up instantly! His physical strength was also at the limit! He couldn't hold on for a while, and he was groggy again.

Relying on the exacerbation of physical pain, Jing An barely managed to maintain his mind from falling into a coma.

In a daze, I don't know how long it took, but one reef after another appeared in the river.

Looking at the reef that floated in front of me from time to time, my mind that had been a little relaxed tensed again!

With such a turbulent current, as long as you collide, you will not die or be crippled! In this fast river, there is no hope of survival! You must avoid these reefs!

Jing'an was in the water, touched the short spear and bow and arrow on his back, was still there, was not scattered, pulled out the short spear, and held the small driftwood that saved his life with the other hand, swinging up and down with the waves.

A reef is far and near, and if nothing else, Jing'an will crash straight into it, up to three breaths!

Jing'an dragged her injured body, drifting with the flow, her vague consciousness sometimes waking and sometimes confused.

Looking at the approaching reef, Jing'an's stimulated eyeballs bulged and forcibly pulled herself back to a conscious state.

Paddling the short spear in his hand as hard as he could, trying to avoid the reef as much as possible, it was still a little insignificant in such a swift rapid.

Seeing that he was about to collide, Jing An riveted enough strength to use the short spear in his hand to stab at another reef surging beside him, only to feel as if he had been hit by a brute bull, and the entire right hand holding the spear was instantly broken into several sections, and the short spear also came out of his hand.

Jing'an also drifted to the side with this blow, narrowly dodging the reef that was about to hit in front of him.

I was just about to be happy, but I felt a pain in my leg, and the intense pain made Jing'an almost lose control.

Although the upper half of the body dodged the exposed reef, the larger half hidden under the water still did not dodge, and it seemed that only a slight sweep shattered Jing'an's legs.

Her lips have long been bloodless, and Jing An gritted her teeth tightly, and the only thing she could use was her left hand that hugged driftwood. But the wound on his shoulder also made his whole arm tremble.

It was only a matter of time before this last straw was lost! The hand was becoming more and more disobedient! The small body struggled in such a raging river, and it seemed so weak and insignificant.

He could only let the river carry him forward, but fortunately, Jing'an was still a little lucky, and he was never touched by the reef again, Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief, and the most dangerous area had passed.

The spirit returned to a state of confusion and sobriety, and Jing'an's control was further reduced.

Flowing down the river, I don't know how far I drifted, Jing'an saw my grandfather, and I also saw my father and mother, although they were not masked, but their appearance seemed to be very kind, and their parents seemed to have been watching themselves, so warm and comfortable!

The deep desire for parents in my heart was resurfaced by the pain that had been suppressed in the deepest corner of my heart, and in this most chaotic moment, Jing'an was lost!

Other people's children have parents, but he doesn't! Although he doesn't say it, this is the wound that Jing'an is most reluctant to uncover!

Jing An wanted to reach out and hug them, but suddenly a spirit! Jing An knew that she was hallucinating.

But the feeling just now was really too real, and even Jing'an, who had never smiled or cried, had a little tear stain in the corner of her eyes. Washed away by the current without a trace!

Jing An wanted to catch it, but she couldn't catch anything! Thinking of her parents and grandfather, Jing An's eyes that had begun to be chaotic condensed again. They don't want me to be buried here! I must live! Grandpa is still waiting for me to take care of me! I can't die! I can't die!

But reality will not be shifted by will, Jing'an wants to try to lean towards the shore, but there is nowhere to borrow strength! The only remaining left hand is slowly beginning to go numb! If you lose this driftwood, you will be swept to the bottom of the water in an instant!

The river is ruthless, and it keeps moving forward with Jing'an, and Jing'an can no longer support it at all! He even feels that his mind has been completely detached from his body, and his mind is full of vague hallucinations! It is all dependent on his body's instinct to support his breathing.

A wave rolled over, the water surface in front of it seemed to widen, the river had a tendency to calm down, Jing'an also sensed the hope of survival, and the desire to survive burned again!

The spirit is pulled back little by little, and after waiting for the river in front of it to widen, the waves are not so turbulent, and it is possible to be saved!

Jing'an's spirit is getting clearer and clearer, whether you can survive depends on the estuary in front, as long as you calm down, you can float to the shore with the waves.

The river was raging in the rapids, but as soon as I crossed the mouth of the river in front of me, it suddenly became a lot calmer, and you could see that the back of the river was getting wider and wider, like a trumpet, and the more you went inside, the wider the water surface became, and the water flow was calmer, as if there was a big lake in front of you!

Bang, Jing'an rushed by, smoothly escaped from the most turbulent section of the river, the river shallow and shallow subsided, more and more calm, but some undercurrents are flowing with Jing'an, he wants to wait for the undercurrent to completely subside, and then slowly find a way to go to the shore!

The river is no longer turbulent, there are no monstrous waves, Jing'an no longer needs to be swept under the water, breathing begins to be smooth, Jing'an's erratic thinking, the sense of detachment is not so strong, and the illusion is gone.

It was just a deep tiredness that hit, Jing'an took advantage of her soberness, shook her body hard, and wanted to slide to the shore, but no matter how hard she tried, Jing'an still followed the current and drifted away from the shore!

Jing'an's speed is getting faster and faster! No! Why is it so fast? A strong uneasiness hits my heart! Looking at the shore that is gradually moving away, and I keep speeding up, I don't know where I can't see it!

But the lake is getting calmer, but the speed is increasing! It's like being dragged in one direction.

Jing'an drew his right hand, which was broken into several sections, and endured the severe pain, trying to stop, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change it.

There was no tributary as far as the eye could see, and where did the sound of flowing water come from on the already calm surface of the lake?

The sound of water is getting louder and louder, and the speed of Jing'an is getting faster and faster!

Whirlpool!

A huge whirlpool, the water carried Jing'an in the direction of the whirlpool, from a distance the whirlpool is unfathomable, full of thousands of zhang in size!

Jing'an was unwilling to accept the impending fate, and slid her broken arm hard!

But in the face of such a huge force, the power of human beings seems so insignificant, Jing'an is still constantly being dragged towards the whirlpool!

Jing'an was still trying to escape, but no matter how hard she tried, there was still no accident, and Jing'an was swept straight into the whirlpool! The lake still flows silently, as if nothing had happened!

Jing'an hugged the driftwood tightly, took a strong breath, and was swallowed by the whirlpool, with the rapid downward flow of the water, the water flow stirred strongly, and Jing'an's internal organs seemed to be turned upside down.

But it didn't take long, only two or three breaths, Jing An felt that his eyes were dark, and poof! There was a sound of falling into the water, and Jing An fell on it.

It was pitch black below, only a few unknown stones, emitting a faint fluorescence, Jing'an looked up and saw a huge underground waterfall behind him, and below him was an underground dark river. I thought it was a mortal situation, but God left a glimmer of life.

It turned out that the whirlpool was caused by this waterfall! When we reached the dark river, the water flow was completely smoothed out!

Jing'an was still holding the driftwood that had saved his life tightly in his hand, and with all his strength, he twisted his body and straddled it.

The spirit was completely relaxed, the pain in the body came, everything that had been experienced all day floated in front of me, and the eyes wanted to be opened, but they couldn't open them, and there was no strength to slide towards the shore.

With a tilt of his head, he fell on the tiny driftwood, and was completely unconscious!

After drifting along the dark river for a day and a night, Jing'an's soul on the verge of collapse slowly recovered, and the first thing Jing'an felt when she opened her eyes was a severe headache! It was like being smashed by a giant hammer! It was because of the overstimulation of the soul!

The body has lost sensation, and only the left hand can slide! Now the first thing to do is to go ashore!
