Chapter 24 Waterway in Distress
After everyone gradually adapted to the water temperature, Tianyou took the lead and led the team forward in front. Among the other personnel, Qin Bo, who had the best water quality, was at the end to prevent any problems. Bai Bingyu was placed in the middle, which was considered as a support. Everyone had ropes tied around their waists, stringed in a string, and with bamboo buoys, it was unlikely that they would encounter any problems.
When they entered the entrance of the cave, the two petite ladies were trembling very much. Fortunately, they didn't have to swim by themselves, and it didn't affect everyone's actions.
The cave was as dark as ever. This time Tianyou didn’t even have a pumpkin lantern, but the scene inside the cave could be seen clearly. If someone in the team was ahead of Tianyou, he would find that Tianyou’s eyes were actually shining with a faint golden light in the darkness. Although it was not very bright, it was also very strange. But unfortunately, Tianyou was always at the front of the team, so no one saw this scene.
Except for Tianyou, no one else in the team could see anything. They could only believe Tianyou and swim forward with the guidance of the rope ahead.
Darkness will bring people inexplicable fear, and the petite ladies are not good at psychological quality and are almost on the verge of collapse. It can be seen that there is actually no direct relationship between strength and courage.
As the team continued to move forward, Tianyou felt that it was about to reach the entrance of the cave. A ray of light could be seen in front of him. According to his experience, he could go out soon. However, just when Tianyou thought that this level had finally passed, a loud scream came from behind for no reason, followed by another voice. Before Tianyou could react, he felt a huge pulling force on his waist suddenly pulling him backwards.
"Damn... Guru..." Tianyou, who had no reaction at all, was suddenly pulled into the bottom of the water and took a big mouthful of water unexpectedly. Fortunately, he stopped breathing in time and recovered quickly.
The whole person was sinking under the water, and Tianyou's gaze was still very clear. He even felt his senses become sharper. The water flow was jumping happily beside him, giving him a sense of relaxation like returning home. Although all this was magical, he had no time to pay attention to these things.
After looking around, Tianyou immediately found that the group of people behind were struggling wildly in the water. Qin Bo was desperately pulling Lu Zhengyi in front of him up, but this guy was obviously choking on the water. In a panic, he burst into survival and hugged Qin Bo desperately and refused to let go.
In front of Lu Zhengyi, Mu Ruyu was waving her arms desperately to try to float back to the water, but Bai Bingyu in front of her was trying hard to dive down. Unfortunately, she was dragged down by the rope that Mu Ruyu was caught and could not dive down.
The center of this trouble was ahead of Bai Bingyu. Yin Ruhua's whole body was entangled with ropes and was dancing wildly under the water. Because Lu Meng was right in front of her, the rope that she was entangled with was pulled by her side. The little girl was not panicked under the water, but tried to untie the rope first to get out of the trap. However, the waterway in the cave was too dark and she could not see anything. She could not find the rope buckle at all. She was working hard, but was suddenly kicked by Yin Ruhua and instantly lost consciousness and fainted.
In front of Lu Meng, although Ying Ying choked on the original pull like Tianyou, she had now surfaced and was trying to pull Lu Meng to the water surface, but Yin Ruhua was adorned below and could not be pulled.
Tianyou instantly judged the form clearly. With his wrist flipped, a short sword suddenly popped up under the leather armor on his wrist. With a wave, the rope around his waist was cut off. With a move, the short sword was instantly withdrawn. Seeing Yin Ruhua's direction, Tianyou swam quickly, walked around behind her, concentrated all his strength, and cut Yin Ruhua with a hand knife, instantly knocking him out. He reached out to catch Lu Meng and Yin Ruhua. Tianyou kicked the pebble riverbed and quickly floated out of the water with the two of them.
Everyone had floats on their bodies, and without Yin Ruhua struggling down, everyone returned to the water. Tianyou simply held two beautiful women with one hand and lay on the water surface. He used his legs to drive the two of them to swim forward, and at the same time, he shouted: "Don't be afraid, keep up with me, the problem has been solved."
Tianyou's voice was like a pneumatic agent, which instantly made everyone's beating wildly restore a little calm. Although he was still extremely nervous, he could at least think about it.
With the joint efforts of everyone, they quickly left the entrance of the cave. The light can bring a sense of security. Although the dim sky is actually not very bright, everyone still feels a sense of gratitude for surviving the disaster.
Unlike their ideas, Tianyou has been thinking about a question - when did his water nature become so good?
Tianyou likes extreme sports, and his physical fitness and motor nerves are first-class. He naturally knows how to swim, but his skills are not very good. Under normal circumstances, he can also save someone, but like this, one hand, one is the strength of his legs to perform backstroke, and the speed is so fast, pulling the entire team in front like a tugboat. Is this something that people can do? Mermaids are almost the same.
Dragging everyone to the shore, Tianyou dragged the two girls to the shore first, clamped them under his armpits, and reminded the people coming up behind him. "It's not safe here, don't stop, follow me first, stick with it."
"I... I really can't walk!" Lu Zhengyi and Mu Ruyu both looked like they were about to die, and stayed by the river and refused to get up.
Ying Ying said: "Persevere, follow us even if you climb, hurry up."
Hearing Ying Ying's words, Lu Zhengyi and Mu Ruyu had no choice but to support their extremely heavy bodies and work hard to move forward. However, Qin Bo and Bai Bingyu quickly went over to help support them, and finally did not make these two really exhausted.
People consume their physical energy underwater very quickly. When they come out of the water, they will feel that their body is several times heavier than usual. They have just been dragged into the water, and several people struggle wildly. No matter how good the physical energy is, they are exhausted. Now they feel that their body is filled with lead, and every step is extremely heavy.
"Be careful. There are many level 25 poisonous scorpions here. It's not a joke to sting them for a while." He led everyone to the woods, Tianyou did not forget to remind the people behind to pay attention to the poisonous scorpions.
Thanks to Tianyou's prompt reminder, Ying Ying immediately noticed that a poisonous scorpion the size of a melon was motionless not far away from him.
"Tianyou!" Ying Ying shouted Tianyou with some concern.
"Hmm?" Tianyou looked back at Ying Ying, and then followed her gaze and looked over. "Oh, that's the poisonous scorpion. Don't be afraid, this thing doesn't attack people on the initiative, just be careful not to step on it."
After saying that, Ying Ying still felt a little uneasy, and unconsciously leaned behind Tianyou, put one hand on his shoulder, and followed Tianyou forward step by step.
Feeling the heat coming from the palms on her shoulders, Tianyou smiled slightly. Although she was mature and quick-witted, Ying Ying was just a seventeen-year-old girl in her previous life. If she were a girl as old as her, she should still be eating snacks with her classmates on campus and discussing the popular idol groups nowadays.
Originally, this place by the river was not suitable for staying, but Tianyou knew that these people had reached their limits. Except for Bai Bingyu and Mr. Qin, who had high cultivation levels, could still hold on. Everyone, including Ying Ying, was almost at their limits. So Tianyou did not lead them forward, but stopped in front of the two giant rocks leaning against each other.
"Okay, let's take a break here."
Almost as soon as Tianyou finished speaking, everyone collapsed all over the floor.
Yin Ruhua and Lu Meng, who were held in Tianyou's hand, also coughed at this time, and there was a tendency to wake up. Tianyou was unwilling to stop when he first got ashore, because it was to push the water in their bodies out. He deliberately let the two face down, hugged their waists, and constantly increased their arms, which was actually controlling the water for them. Both of them choked a lot of water under the water, but after they got ashore, the situation was still stable, so Tianyou did not start first aid by the river. After all, there were shallow water crocodiles in the water. Underwater snake grass essential oil can drive away these guys, and they couldn't smell the essential oil on the shore. When they bite it, they found the smell of snake grass essential oil. If they let go, they would probably be finished.
Looking at the crowds tilted around the ground, Tianyou could only hand over the two women to Bai Bingyu and Ying Ying who were in a slightly better shape. "Let them lie on you and push them up, raise their stomachs, and let them get down when they can sit up by themselves."
After explaining the two, Tianyou looked at Qin Bo again. Smoke was coming out of his body, obviously using spiritual power to steam dry the clothes.
Thinking that Tianyou wanted him to help, Uncle Qin quickly explained: "I can only use myself by doing this method, and I can't use others!"
"It's okay for me, it's them..." Tianyou thought for a while and asked Bai Bingyu: "Do you know what Qin Bo means?"
Both Bai Bingyu and Ying Ying said no, and even if the remaining few were taken into account, they would not be able to do it. Tianyou turned to Qin Bo helplessly. "You are always tired, protect them here, and I will go."
"If that's the case, this is my duty, but thank you for your hard work. In the end, we have to ask you, an ordinary person, to run around to take care of us!"
"Do you have any specialty in your skills? I grew up in the mountains. This place is like my yard. I have adapted to it. You should rest first, but be careful not to fall asleep, otherwise something will happen."
"Don't worry."
After arranging everyone, Tianyou sighed helplessly, took out the equipment he had put in the worry-free bag and put it on again. He saw a big tree ahead and helped him run two steps without using his hands. He stepped on the trunk and went up to the treetops. After a few ups and downs, he lost his shadow.
Looking at Tianyou who disappeared into the darkness, Qin Bo turned to Ying Ying and whispered: "It's really our luck to find such a guide this time!"
Ying Ying nodded vigorously. "I plan to recruit him, what do you think, Uncle Qin?"
"This child is definitely not something in the pool, it is worth cultivating."
Bai Bingyu also said, "When we went out together, he talked a lot. He knew nothing about cultivation, but he seemed to know a little. I don't know if you have noticed the bow on his back. He explained it in detail to me, which is more than three times stronger than the compound longbow equipped by my Qin army. This bow..."
Listening to Bai Bingyu's introduction, Ying Ying's eyes gradually drifted away, and I don't know what he was thinking. Bai Bingyu was still in high spirits, and Qin Bo was listening carefully, occasionally interjecting a few sentences. Lu Meng and Yin Ruhua were both humming, Mu Ruyu and Lu Zhengyi were both in the shape of a stray dog, and they were as embarrassed as they were, and they were not even able to complain.
However, compared to them, the more unlucky people are actually still behind.
