"You're going to die anyway, so it's better to take a gamble."
At least they jumped into the river and had a chance to survive.
Although the river is fast, it is still better than being crushed to death by this insect.
"Hurry up and tie us together as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we get into the water and are washed apart, we will really be doomed!"
Fortunately, the insect moved slowly, which bought them some time.
They used ropes to wrap around themselves. Fearing that one rope would not be enough, they used three ropes.
Looking at the advancing monster, they closed their eyes and turned their backs to the river and fell in without hesitation.
The moment they fell into the water, they felt their ears ringing.
The rushing river kept hitting their bodies, and they accidentally choked on the water.
Several people struggled to get to the surface of the water to breathe, but each time they were beaten by the river water and fell in again.
"You...ahem."
Zhang Long tried his best to stabilize his body, emerged from the water, wiped the water from his face, and held on to the rope tightly.
"How's it going? You guys... cough cough."
Before he could finish his words, the river water came up and choked him directly into his throat.
Zhang Long subconsciously wanted to cough, but when he opened his mouth, the river water rushed in.
"I……"
He wanted to say something, but his mouth grumbled, and he lost consciousness soon after.
His body was constantly floating in the water. Liu Yi and the others tried their best to get close to Zhang Long, but they were always pushed away by drinking water.
Fortunately, there was a rope between them. Several people pulled the rope and got closer bit by bit.
Just as they grabbed Zhang Long, a wave hit them, and they were knocked directly into the water and disappeared.
In the last moments before coma, they all had some doubts in their minds.
Why is it that there are such big waves in a river that is only three to four meters wide, but it is also so deep?
It's a pity that no one can answer this question.
They kept floating in the water, and because of the connection of the ropes between them, they sometimes bumped into each other and sometimes separated.
Fortunately, they used three or four ropes. If they had only one rope, they would have been dispersed long ago.
Their bodies kept floating and sinking with the current, hitting rocks from time to time.
They didn't notice at all, they just drifted like that. After an unknown amount of time, they seemed to have hit something and stopped.
The river here has stabilized and they are constantly floating in the water.
Driven by the water, they slowly approached the river and finally stopped slowly.
The sunlight hit their bodies, coating them with a layer of gold, as if they were gods descending to earth.
Time passed like this, and some small fish in the river would come to their bodies and swim back and forth from time to time, not knowing what they were doing.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Long suddenly sat up from the water, wiped his face, and breathed heavily as if he was in shock.
After about ten minutes, his breathing gradually stabilized.
Looking around blankly, Zhang Long remembered that they jumped into the water to avoid the insect.
"This is where?"
He lowered his head and saw the rope on his body, and he suddenly woke up.
He quickly grabbed the rope and looked for them.
Fortunately, they used several ropes. In such a fast river, they were still tightly connected and did not separate.
After finding them along the rope, Zhang Long laboriously moved them to the shore.
He sat down on the ground, propped himself up with his hands, and breathed heavily.
He only felt waves of emptiness in his body, and he couldn't lift up any strength at all, as if his body was not his.
At first, Zhang Long kept slapping their faces, calling them to wake up as soon as possible.
But as time passed, Zhang Long felt a little panicked.
Although they were still breathing, they couldn't wake up.
Zhang Long looked at them at a loss.
"Why... why aren't you awake yet?"
Zhang Long held his chest and felt that it hurt so much that even breathing was difficult.
He was holding his chest in discomfort and hunched over, as if he were a cooked shrimp.
"It hurts!"
He gritted his teeth, blood dripping from his lips and dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"ah!"
Zhang Long couldn't help shouting to the sky anymore. He looked at them unconscious and struggled to walk over to wake them up.
Just after he staggered two or three steps, his vision went dark and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Time passed slowly, and the sun gradually moved from directly overhead to the west.
The warm breeze blew on the bodies of several people, and the birds flying away "fluttering".
Li Yi opened his eyes drowsily and struggled several times but could not get up.
He struggled to support his upper body to straighten up. Looking at the unconscious people, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Zhang Long, Liu Yi, how are you doing?"
He shouted loudly, but no one responded at all.
Especially when he saw the blood under Zhang Long, he wanted to rush over immediately.
"Zhang Long! Zhang Long! How are you doing?"
He shouted loudly while struggling to crawl forward.
Because of his cry, Liu Yi and Ouyang Tai slowly woke up.
"where is this place?"
"What happened to Li Yi?"
…
"Quickly, take a look at Zhang Long's situation."
Li Yi pointed anxiously at Zhang Long in front of him and said, "When I woke up, he was already lying on the ground, and there was blood all over his body."
Liu Yi and Ouyang Tai struggled to stand up and staggered to Zhang Long's side.
After struggling to turn him over and confirming that only the shoulder was injured and bleeding, they breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them struggled to lift Zhang Long and found a sheltered place to put him down.
We went back and forth several times to get Wang Shengli and his luggage back.
"How did we get ashore?"
"have no idea."
"Even if the river washes us to the shore, we can't get ashore by ourselves."
"Anyway, when I woke up, you weren't awake yet."
"It's impossible for us to come up here on our own."
Li Yi said: "It's either Shengli or Zhang Long, or it could be something else."
"Can it still be a beast?
If it really is a wild beast, will it be eaten by us?"
Liu Yi gave Li Yi a look without hesitation and said what he said.
"You two, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and eat something. I don't know how long it has been."
Ouyang Tai looked at the two unconscious people with a worried look on their faces, as they were still awake after such a long time.
They also found no trace of the fish head. They didn't know if it was washed away or if it woke up and left.
