Toad Palace Folding Laurel (3)
The suction force of the vortex is so powerful. Although it is just the edge, the power cannot be countered by human power. A speedboat will be sucked down in this position. If it weren't for the streamlined mermaid, if it were any other elf, it would be gone now.
What's even more terrifying is that every step closer to the center of the vortex, the suction force increases exponentially.
Even Shihua couldn't last long under this situation.
She and Zhang Zian both felt that it might be sweat, water, or strong pulling force, and their palms became slippery and it became more and more difficult to hold each other's wrists.
The fear deformed her swimming movements, and her physical strength was rapidly consumed. The fish tail was sinking more than ten times more than usual, like a heavy iron anchor that was about to fall to the bottom of the sea.
If it were on Earth, she wouldn't be so scared, but the huge strange fish just now made her feel scared.
She could see that other strange and huge shadows appeared in the water wall in the vortex, as if many strange creatures were also swept into the vortex. If she was swept into it, she might be bitten and swallowed into her stomach by the monsters.
She didn't want to die, it would be fine if she died on the top of the earth. She didn't want to die in such a strange place, especially in the sea. That was too embarrassing.
The pouring gray sea water kept washing her face, and the survival instinct made her shake her tail while holding Zhang Zi'an's wrist tightly.
However, the sea surface and the sky were moving away from her at a slow and irreversible speed, and even Zhang Zian's body was pulled by her and entered the vortex range.
If this continues, both of them will be swept into the vortex.
If she was swept into the whirlpool herself, there might be a glimmer of hope. After all, she could breathe in the water, but if he was swept into it... she would definitely be dead and lifeless.
what to do?
what to do?
"Let go!" she gritted her teeth and shouted. For some reason, she felt much more relaxed after she shouted.
Zhang Zian had tried his best to hold her and swim, relying on a will to support her. It was absolutely impossible to respond, otherwise he would be angry and everything would be over.
He just shook his head and told her not to give up hope.
"Let's go!" she shouted again: "If this continues, we will be involved!"
He still shook his head.
"Let go, I'm fine! Have you forgotten? I'm a mermaid! I'm the daughter of the sea, so I won't die in the sea!" She tried hard to squeeze out a smile.
She was angry at his stubbornness. If it were normal, she would have cursed it, but she was very happy.
Isn’t this the most happy and gratifying thing for someone to live and die with her?
Zhang Zian really wanted to scold her for being big and brainless. The angular speed of the center of the vortex was too fast. Once it was swept into the center, it was like being in a drum washing machine that was being dehydrated and dried. Not to mention that she was a mermaid, even if she was an iron mermaid, she might be torn and twisted and deformed.
But he had no choice but to hold her wrist with greater strength and answer with actions.
Hate!
The sea water hit her cheeks so strongly, as if she was hitting her nose with a fist, causing her nose to be suddenly blocked by something sore and swollen.
Fortunately, you should not be able to distinguish between tears and sea water at this time.
"That's enough. I'm very satisfied. Thank you, son..."
Shihua smiled and let go of his hand. Now he was the only one holding her wrist. It was obviously impossible to pull it. At most, her wrist would slip out of his hand.
"Swim over there! Gu~gu~gu~gu~gu~"
Zhang Zian tried his best and finally put in a sentence, interrupting her, and at the same time turned his head and signaled in one direction.
Shihua has been trying desperately to swim out of the vortex and swim away from the center of the vortex, but the position Zhang Zi'an signaled was beside them.
She didn't understand, but she believed in him, and she could only believe in him. He must be very sure of saying this when his life was in a crisis.
Because after saying only four words, Zhang Zian couldn't hold it in one breath, and his body instantly rolled into the edge of the vortex.
Just a little bit, they separated.
At the moment when he was about to separate, Shihua instinctively held his wrist with his backhand again.
She swam in the direction he signaled, and now she is pulling him.
A miracle happened.
Although that direction was not the shortest distance from the vortex, it was much easier to swim. She obviously felt that she was away from the vortex, as if an invisible hand was pushing her behind her.
She glanced back and Zhang Zian's entire body and head were immersed in the water, but the power of his palm told her that he was not dead yet.
Never die!
An inexplicable force suddenly poured into her body, and she was swimming forward almost like burning her own life.
Too slow!
Why so slow!
She had never swam so fast. If someone watched this scene from the air, she would be amazed at her speed like lightning, cutting the waves and pulling out a long white waterline, but she still felt as slow as a starfish.
The suction force behind him is getting smaller and smaller, and of course, the thrust force decreases faster.
Shihua turned around, held Zhang Zi'an's hand with both hands, and dragged him out of the sea in a backstroke posture.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Gray sea water spurted out from Zhang Zi'an's trachea. He coughed and gasped violently, his face turned blue and he was already in a semi-drowning state. He would fall into a coma in a few seconds.
The few short minutes just now were as long as a century. He was paddling so hard that his whole body was exhausted. The hand holding Shihua's wrist was so hard that he was now curled up like a chicken's claw.
Shihua walked around him and held him from his armpit, while being careful to prevent strange fish from taking advantage of the fire.
It took a minute or two to return the sun, and the smell of sea water was strange when you burp.
"Are you okay?" Shihua asked.
"I'm still alive." Zhang Zi'an wiped the sea water on his face, "By the way, did you call me Zi'an just now?"
"Your ears were wrong." She raised her face and asked in a different way: "Why can you escape the vortex by swimming in this direction? You stingy guy can't hide your own personalities!"
Zhang Zian took a few more breaths, "The reason is very simple, because the vortex is a circle, and this direction is roughly the tangent direction of the circle. If you want to escape from the vortex, this is the correct path. With the help of centrifugal force, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Ten? I know, what is tangent?" She blinked in confusion, "What is centrifugal force?"
Zhang Zian sighed powerlessly. If he was in a pet shop, he could draw pictures to explain to her. What should he say now?
