After about a cup of tea, Chen Wan was forced backwards by the rapidly rising water level. She was holding Yuan Ming's white ape skin and bronze sword in her arms, and her whole body was already pressed against the stone wall.
At this time, the river water had covered the entire cave, and the water level had reached Chen Wan's waist.
Her heart had turned from anxiety to despair, and an inevitable thought came to her mind: "Why am I so stupid? He won't come back..."
After all, that guy was just a furry beast slave. Even if there was no accident and he really found a way to survive, he would never risk coming back to save her. After all, the two of them were not related, but they just met by chance.
Xiaoxiao felt unspeakably relieved when she saw that he left the animal skin and sword behind when he left.
Just when Chen Wan was feeling sorry for herself, the water in front of her suddenly surged into waves, and a dark figure suddenly appeared, letting out a "whoosh" gasp.
She almost couldn't hold it back and fired a fireball at the man.
When she saw clearly that it was an extremely ugly human-shaped toad, she suddenly became excited and her eyes almost became wet.
Yuan Ming, who hurried back, was also surprised by the changes here, and said in a low voice: "It seems that a flash flood broke out. I almost couldn't find your location."
"How's it going? Have you found the exit?" Chen Wan asked hurriedly.
"The underground river is much longer than I thought. I swam for a long time and still couldn't reach the exit." Yuan Ming shook his head and gasped.
Chen Wan's face suddenly froze, and her heart was ashen.
"However, I found a cave in the front. The space is much larger than here. It will not be flooded for the time being. We can go there for a while and take a breath before continuing to find a way out downstream." Yuan Ming took a deep breath. He changed his tone and continued speaking.
"We can only give it a try." Chen Wan said, somewhat speechless at Yuan Ming's gasping for breath.
Seeing the water level gradually rising to her chest, she didn't want to stay any longer.
"How long can your breath last?" Yuan Ming asked.
"I have never practiced water magic. I can only maintain it for half a quarter of an hour at most." Chen Wan thought for a while and said.
At this moment, she was extremely regretful. She shouldn't have discriminated against the water method just because she was a disciple of the Huolian Hall. Fortunately, the disciples of the Huolian Hall had to temper the weapon embryos for a long time and had requirements for their breath, so her breath was not weak.
"Half a quarter of an hour is almost enough. You will lie on my back later and I will take you to swim." Yuan Ming thought for a moment and said.
When Chen Wan heard this, she glanced at Yuan Ming's back covered with black bumps, showing hesitation.
"At your speed, without me taking you, you will definitely not be able to swim there in half an hour." Yuan Ming glanced at her and said indifferently.
Chen Wan took a deep breath and nodded.
She held Yuan Ming's white ape skin and bronze sword in one hand, and put it on Yuan Ming's shoulder with the other hand despite the discomfort.
"Take a deep breath." Yuan Ming warned.
Chen Wan immediately complied.
The next moment, Yuan Ming's body suddenly sank, and Chen Wan's body plunged into the water.
Yuan Ming turned his legs outwards, pushed hard, then clamped his legs back, and suddenly jumped out in the direction of the current, swimming seven or eight feet away.
Arriving at the edge of the cave, the river converged and poured into an underground cave.
Yuan Ming didn't stop at all, and took Chen Wan into it, struggling to swim downstream.
Inside the cave, it was pitch black.
Chen Wan's eyes were closed tightly, and there was only the dull sound of water flowing in her ears. Her heartbeat could not help but accelerate. The hand on Yuan Ming's shoulder involuntarily tightened a little, and her body subconsciously pressed against Yuan Ming's back.
Yuan Ming felt Chen Wan's nervousness behind him, so he could only use his hands and feet to swim downstream quickly.
After about a cup of tea, Chen Wan gradually adapted to the cold feeling under the water and couldn't help but open her eyes.
However, nothing could be seen clearly in the pitch-black water, and one could only vaguely feel the stone walls covering the top, bottom, left and right, giving people a sense of claustrophobia.
After watching for a while, she closed her eyes again, which made her feel better.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt her heel touch something.
However, she did not move at all, nor did she make any kicking or stepping movements. It was impossible for her to touch anything other than water.
In this case, it can only be that something chased and touched her.
"Are there fish in this underground river?" Chen Wan thought doubtfully.
Before she could think about it, the feeling of touch came over again, and the intensity was much stronger than before.
Sensing something was wrong, Chen Wan immediately opened her eyes and turned her head to look behind her.
This sight frightened her so much that she almost couldn't help shouting and grabbed Yuan Ming's hand hard.
I saw a huge black shadow suddenly appearing in the dark river behind me. It didn't look like a fish at all.
Chen Wan suppressed her fear, grabbed the animal skin and bronze sword in her hand, and slapped Yuan Ming's back hard.
Yuan Ming immediately realized that something was wrong. He twisted his neck and turned around to see what was wrong, but he heard a cry of "woo woo" coming from behind him.
The voice was slightly childish, but it penetrated his ears very clearly as it was carried by the water flow.
If he hadn't been wearing a toad skin, the hair on his body would have stood up and goosebumps would have appeared on his back at this moment.
At this moment, Chen Wan pressed the white ape skin and bronze sword under her body, the magic power in her body began to circulate, and she raised her palm and waved it behind her.
A hazy red light immediately lit up in her palm, illuminating the water behind her by three thirds.
In the dim light, she saw a huge but flattened white face with a wide grin, occupying one-third of the entire face, and two bean-like black eyes, which saved a lot of space.
, growing on both sides of the cheeks.
She was so frightened that she screamed "Wow", choked a mouthful of water into her throat, and her original breath was instantly disrupted.
The pale face seemed to be frightened, and the "woo woo" cry became more urgent. Red and black streaks suddenly appeared on the white cheeks. He opened his bloody mouth and faced Yuan Ming and the two.
Bite it over.
The moment Yuan Ming turned around, he saw the face of the thing clearly and secretly shouted in his heart: "Overlord Salamander?"
He immediately kicked off his legs and swam forward with all his strength, his speed suddenly increased, and he distanced himself from that ghost thing.
However, there was a loud "wuwu" sound behind them, and the ferocious beast suspected to be the Overlord Salamander did not want to let them go, and chased them fiercely.
Chen Wan was so frightened that she was already confused. Her fingers were tightly clasped on Yuan Ming's back, her nails were deeply embedded in his skin, and she had already choked several mouthfuls of cold river water in her mouth.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a burning pain in her ankle. When she turned her head to look, she realized that the mouth of the human-like monster could spurt red mucus like lava.
The mucus stuck to her ankles, corroding a big hole in her clothes and burning her skin.
However, it was this severe pain that inspired Chen Wan's fighting spirit, which actually made her wake up from her panic. She touched her sleeve and took out another red fire thunder.
But just when she was about to throw it, she thought of the previous scene when she was chased by the fire python in the cave. If she threw the red fire thunder here, not to mention whether it could kill the beast, the impact of the water wave alone would be enough.
It might stun them both.
If the cave collapses again, they won't even need to keep their bodies, they will be buried together here.
Chen Wan was extremely depressed. However, in this water, her refined fire skills were greatly restricted. Even the fireball technique could not be used.
Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly saw Yuan Ming beneath her slow down and press one hand on the stone wall.
"What is he going to do?"
The next moment, on the stone wall behind them, a blue halo suddenly lit up on the left and right sides at the same time, and two sharp wooden thorns about two feet long stabbed out of it.
"Wood Thorn Technique." Chen Wan was surprised. She didn't expect this furry beast slave to be able to do magic.
The Overlord Salamander was chasing after it and was stabbed by a wooden thorn. A long gash was opened on its body, and red blood flowed out.
Under the pain, it became ferocious, opened its mouth and spat out a large ball of red mucus, covering Chen Wan's body.
If she were hit by it, half of her back would be corroded.
At the critical moment, Chen Wan's hand on Yuan Ming's shoulder was suddenly clasped, and then she was pulled forward and thrown away from his shoulder.
The ball of red mucus immediately fell on Yuan Ming's back, making a "hissing" sound.
Yuan Ming endured the severe pain, rushed forward, swam to Chen Wan, took out the bronze sword from her hand with one hand, pushed her round and curved buttocks with the other hand, and sent her out.
Immediately afterwards, Yuan Ming suddenly turned around, poured mana into the herring sword in his hand, and struck down the pursuing Overlord Salamander with one strike.
"Shua"
I saw a light on the herring sword, and the powerful force directly separated the water flow and struck the Overlord Salamander in the face.
The latter howled ferociously, and at the same time a bloody gash opened on his face, a large stream of venom spewed out of his mouth again, shooting towards Yuan Ming.
As Yuan Ming turned around and fled, a stream of black venom suddenly shot out from the dark bumps on his back. After it dispersed into the water, the dots connected together and surged toward the Overlord Salamander.
The two venoms are mixed together, slightly counteracting the salamander's corrosive venom.
Yuan Ming took the opportunity to swim forward with all his strength. When he caught up with Chen Wan, he took her into his arms, kicked his legs hard, and led her to swim forward crazily.
Behind him, the Overlord Salamander rushed into the area where the venom was mixed, and the water there suddenly began to boil.
The toxin formed after the two venoms are mixed is something that even it cannot resist.
The Overlord Salamander suddenly howled miserably and was no longer able to pursue the two men.
After this incident, both Yuan Ming and Yuan Ming's physical strength was consumed a lot, and their breaths were also disrupted. Whether they could hold on to the cavity suddenly became unknown.
