Chapter 37 Pit and Pool
All kinds of questions appear in my mind, but now is not the time to think about the problem.
Fu retracted his gaze and said to Rong Jian, who was lying on the ground with a corpse: "Get up and get out of the beast wave first."
Rong Jian got up as he was told, and the formations floating on his body dissipated one after another.
Cooperating again, he rushed forward for a certain distance. Fu, who was sitting on Rong Jian's shoulder, suddenly said in surprise: "...Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Rong Jian asked in confusion.
What's wrong? Of course we have arrived at our destination! Of course, you can't tell the kid directly.
Fu rolled his eyes, licked his lips, and lowered his voice: "I want to say..."
Rong Jian was waiting carefully for the second half of Fu's words, but suddenly, his feet were empty and his whole body slipped out uncontrollably.
He was shocked and hurriedly tried to stabilize his body, but the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The vegetation on the ground collapsed, revealing a pit two people wide and bottomless.
And he himself fell in from the hole and slid towards the bottom of the pit at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, he also heard the second half of his weapon spirit's words: "...There is a pit ahead!"
Rong Jian felt like his breath was being held in his throat, and he couldn't swallow what he couldn't spit out. He knew there was a trap, so why don't we just call it quits? There's so much nonsense! Just tell me, did you do it on purpose?!
As far as the eye can see, there is darkness, and the only light gradually fades away above the head.
Rong Jian stretched out his hand and pressed it against the surrounding pit wall, trying to find some kind of obstacle to stop his fall. However, all he encountered was the smooth stone wall.
Damn it... Rong Jian's whole body was tense, and he tried his best to grab the wall of the pit with his hands and feet, barely slowing down his fall.
The walls of the pit were too slippery and there was no way to apply force. It was impossible not to fall, so he could only temporarily let himself fall slower and think of other ways.
Seeing this scene, Fu smiled unkindly. Since she designed such a pothole, she naturally wouldn't let Rong Jian stop easily.
Ever since, Rong Jian felt a sudden huge suction coming from his feet, and his whole body was falling faster.
The young man was scratching the wall of the pit with his hands and feet, his face turned green.
What are the things that happened to me today? I originally just wanted to go back and forth to the forest to practice and collect some cultivation resources, but by chance, I met my so-called "cousin".
The prey was taken away as a matter of course, but he couldn't resist. This was enough to make him feel bad, and then he ran into a tide of beasts again!
He has only seen things like beast tides in books, because here in the Four Cities, there is an agreement with the Tiger King, and it has never appeared in a hundred years!
As a result, he met him again by such a coincidence!
That's all. With Fu protecting him, he was not injured at all. He was still running for his life. He had made some gains of his own and gained confidence and determination for the future.
But! But!
He was about to escape from the beast wave! Then he could pack up and go home and have a good rest. Why did he step down and fall into a deep pit?
Rong Jian thinks that there may be no one more unlucky than him in this world!
Gritting his teeth, Rong Jian asked Fu on his shoulder, "What should I do?" He had no choice but to place his hope in his own magical weapon spirit.
Fu was stunned for a moment and replied: "...Ah, well, it's already slid here, so let's go down and have a look!" Will I tell you that I made all these things? No.
Rong Jian was speechless for a moment. If he goes down, God knows what is there. What if it is some powerful spiritual beast or some kind of Jedi... Well, even if he doesn't want to go down, there seems to be no other way.
Thinking like this, Rong Jian simply relaxed his body and let the suction force pull him down.
The pothole was actually not particularly deep. After Rong Jian gave up resistance, he fell to the bottom soon.
I thought that if I fell like this, even if I didn't break my arms or legs, I wouldn't feel any better, but I didn't know that there was actually a pool of water below. After Rong Jian fell in, there was water as a buffer. Apart from choking on a few saliva, he didn't suffer any other injuries.
hurt.
The water in the pool was a bit deep. Rong Jian pulled his arms and legs and struggled to swim to the shore. After climbing up, he turned over and lay on his back on the ground, taking a few deep breaths.
After running away among the beasts for such a long time, his physical strength had long been exhausted, and he could only hold on with one breath. After meeting the man in black robe, he lay on the ground for a while and regained some strength.
, and ended up falling from this pit again...
Rong Jian said that if this was his home, he would hug the quilt tightly and have a deep sleep.
But now, it is impossible.
Sitting up with support on the ground, Rong Jian turned his gaze to the surroundings and observed.
The hole was not big, about the size of a small courtyard, and was mostly occupied by a clear pool. Only a weak light came through from the top of the hole, which was the entrance of the hole where he slipped down.
The cave wall is made of smooth stone, with water droplets attached to it. It is obvious that this place is naturally formed, without any traces of human activities, and there is no exit.
Rong Jian's eyes widened and he felt dumbfounded. He stood up on the ground and ran to the cave wall eagerly, reaching out and touching it bit by bit.
Fu floated in the air, tilted his head, and asked doubtfully: "What are you doing?"
"I'm looking for a place to go out!" Rong Jian looked solemn.
In a naturally formed pit, the only light that can be seen is the hole where it falls. If there is no other exit, he will be trapped here. Then...how many days does he have to live?
Oh... Fu suddenly realized that the little boy might be disappointed. He really couldn't get out on his own.
Rong Jian searched for a long time but could not find any loose stones. In other words, there is really no other exit from this naturally formed cave!
He looked up at the faint light above his head, and suddenly felt dizzy. It was over, as if there was really only one way out.
However, when he slid down, he had nowhere to use his strength. Climbing up... was it still possible? Rong Jian suddenly felt a little desperate.
Here, Fu Zhuangzuo flew around the pool unintentionally for a while, then raised his hand and waved: "Hey, little Jianjian, come here and see if there is anything different about this pool of water?"
A somewhat desperate Rong Jian came over with a grimace and stared at the pool for a while, "It's no different!" It was clear and transparent, and except that there were no fish in it, it was no different from the pool outside.
Fu was silent for a moment, then flew to Rong Jian and put his hand on his forehead: "Look here."
The viscous dark red liquid rippled in the pool, and unknown red water plants swayed their bodies, extending their branches out of the water from time to time, causing a splash of water.
