When Xiaolan hunched over and climbed towards the center of the boat, the hull suddenly tilted towards her side.
"Xiaolan!"
"Xiaolan, catch it!——"
Amidst the shouts of her companions, Xiaolan slipped and fell down. The boat tilted even more sharply. Jasmine grabbed the other side of the boat and leaned over in an attempt to pull Xiaolan up, but she couldn't hold Xiaolan in her hand.
A second before, another wave of turbulence hit, this time the turbulence was extremely violent, the ship shook violently, Xiaolan, who was all wet, immediately let go, and finally capsized out of the ship.
"Jasmine!——"
"Xiaolan!"
Jasmine rushed to the side of the boat and was about to jump off the boat. At this time, a huge wave that she had never seen hit her. Jasmine lost her footing and fell back into the boat.
Looking back again, Xiaolan could no longer be seen.
"Xiaolan!" Jasmine yelled in vain.
I don't know when the stream has widened, and Xiaolan can no longer be seen on the long and turbulent river under the moonlight.
"Catch! Watch out!"
Just when Jasmine was about to jump off the ship again, Lu Qianqian suddenly screamed. She and Meili grabbed Jasmine's left and right legs together, pushed her down, and both of them pressed on top of her.
"What are you doing..."
Before Jasmine finished her words, their world instantly began to spin and turn upside down. The two people on Jasmine's body tightly pulled their companions while holding on to the protrusions on the boat. Together with the small boat, the three of them began to fall.
It's a waterfall.
The three of them didn't even have the strength to scream, so they could only desperately hold back their nausea and exhaustion, and fell in mid-air.
The sound of water seemed to be gradually getting louder.
Finally, on the verge of collapse of their endurance, there was a splash, the fall stopped, and the three of them fell upside down into the water.
Lu Qianqian, who was held underwater, opened her eyes. It was pitch black under the water. She straightened her body, but felt her feet suddenly became more solid.
It turns out that the water here is only so shallow.
The three of them grabbed one side of the boat at the same time and pushed hard. The boat splashed with countless tiny splashes of water and filled the bottom of the boat with water, but it was still able to be turned over.
The three of them got back on the boat and quickly scooped the water out of the boat with their hands.
Jasmine raised her head and looked up. The waterfall was so high that she couldn't see the source. The starlight here was sparse and the environment was dark. The rapid water flowed down the waterfall and she couldn't see whether there was still that little figure in the water.
"Don't worry," Meili wiped her face and patted Jasmine on the shoulder, "Xiaolan is probably in danger."
Is this also human language?
Just as Jasmine was about to explain to her, "You misunderstood, Xiaolan and I are not that kind of fake friendship, our friendship is real," when she saw Lu Qianqian staring behind her blankly, her eyes quite scary.
"What's wrong?" Jasmine turned her head back.
"Why does it feel weird?" Merry looked at the dark blue sky in front of him that was dotted with a few stars.
"Of course it's strange," Lu Qianqian tucked the wet hair on her cheeks behind her ears, "The moon is gone."
Except for the small area blocked by the waterfall, the sky in this circle was empty and dark blue.
There is no shadow of the giant moon.
"I remember the moon is in this direction." Merry pointed to the right.
Lu Qianqian nodded, "Look, the flow of the river has changed. Now we are going to the original direction of the moon."
A small river flows out of the pool under the waterfall, and that small river leads to the right side where Meili is pointing.
Before they could control the position of the boat, the boat turned around and headed straight into the river. After a few bumps, the boat quickly merged into the river and started a new round of drifting forward.
"Xiaolan should have fallen off too." Jasmine looked at her eyes.
"Even if we are hiding in the hull, it will be difficult for us to survive in such a waterfall," Meili murmured. "Xiaolan has been so seriously injured, maybe..."
Jasmine glanced at Meili resentfully.
Anyway, Meili's words have one central thought: Hachiko, don't wait any longer, she won't come back.
"As long as we clear the customs quickly, we can meet her sooner." Lu Qianqian persuaded after sitting firmly on the boat.
"Then what if... Xiaolan dies?" Jasmine's eyes were blank.
Lu Qianqian thought for a while, "Well - there is only one bonus, and even sisters will have to compete in the end, so if she fails at this level, then you will lose a competitor."
It’s truly enterprise-level understanding.
But Jasmine actually felt that it made some sense.
So Jasmine gave up the ridiculous idea of rowing the boat back, sighed, and looked at the road ahead with peace of mind.
***
Xiaolan's entire body was submerged underwater.
But she is still conscious.
Xiaolan struggled hard to get out of the water. She just held her breath and grabbed a wooden board on the lower edge of the boat. The wave came in and the boat shook violently. Xiaolan, the parasitic guy, not only lost his hand, but was also knocked into deeper water.
Down.
Then she was underwater, watching the boat drift away quickly.
"Well...well..."
A string of bubbles floated up. Xiaolan kicked off her foot. Just as she was about to follow the boat, the foot she stepped out seemed to have stepped into a swamp. A huge force grabbed her leg and dragged her underwater.
go.
A strong attraction slowly surrounded Xiaolan's body.
It wasn't like something was grabbing her feet.
It's a whirlpool.
A slender black vortex resembled a winding sea snake, following her feet and devouring her body bit by bit.
Xiao Lan was a little panicked, and hurriedly raised his hands to splash the water, but the whirlpool seemed to be alive. Seeing that the prey was about to escape, the devouring force became stronger. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lan's lower body was completely wrapped in the whirlpool.
.
The last string of bubbles emerged from the water.
Xiaolan's whole body fell into the whirlpool, and the world was spinning. The whirlpool took her deeper into the water. After a while, when Xiaolan was about to be squeezed out of the last trace of oxygen by the river water, the surroundings turned dark, and Xiaolan's body began to
After a few seconds of weightlessness, there was a bang, and Xiaolan's limp body was like a flying pancake, being thrown to a platform by the force.
Pain comes.
What awakens together with the pain is the long-lost sense of joy.
This feeling comes from the constant flow of oxygen into Xiaolan's nasal cavity.
Able to breathe.
Have you...returned to the ground?
Xiaolan stood up tremblingly, stepped on the solid ground under her feet, and opened her eyes.
The darkness in front of my eyes slowly faded away.
"Cough...cough..." Xiaolan leaned over and spit out the water in her stomach.
The sound of his own cough echoed in his ears.
Xiaolan could finally see clearly.
This is a dark cave.
Xiaolan wiped the corners of her mouth and looked up.
There is an approximately perfect circular hole at the top of the cave, with a few lines of water coming from the entrance. If you look closely, you can seem to see the roiling river outside the entrance.
Although Xiaolan didn't understand why the river water didn't flow in along the entrance of the cave, Xiaolan understood that she was saved.
