All kinds of questions arise in my mind, but now is not the time to think about them.
Fu retracted his gaze and said to Rong Jian, who was lying dead on the ground, "Get up, and get out of the beast tide first."
Rong Jian got up as he was told, and the formations floating on his body dissipated one after another.
They rushed forward again, and Fu, who was sitting on Rong Jian's shoulder, suddenly asked in surprise: "...Huh?"
"What's wrong?" Rong Jian asked in confusion.
What's wrong? Of course we've arrived at our destination! Of course, I can't tell the kid this directly.
Fu rolled her eyes, licked her lips, and said in a slow voice: "I want to say..."
Rong Jian was waiting earnestly for Fu's second half of the sentence, but suddenly, his feet felt empty and his whole body slid out uncontrollably.
He was shocked and tried to steady himself, but the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The grass and trees covering the ground collapsed, revealing a pit that was two people wide and bottomless.
He himself fell into the hole and slid towards the bottom of the pit at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, he heard the second half of his own spirit's words: "...There is a pit ahead!"
Rong Jian felt a breath stuck in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it. He knew there was a trap, so why not just call a halt? Why all that nonsense! Just tell me, were you doing this on purpose?!
As far as the eye can see, there is only darkness, and the only light is gradually fading away above the head.
Rong Jian stretched out his hand and pressed on the surrounding pit wall, trying to find some obstacle to stop his fall, but all his palm touched 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 descent.
The pit wall was too slippery and there was no place to hold on to. It was impossible to avoid falling, so he could only slow down his fall temporarily and think of other ways.
Fu, who saw this scene, smiled in a very unkind way. Since she had designed such a pit, she would naturally not let Rong Jian stop easily.
Then, Rong Jian suddenly felt a huge suction force coming from under his feet, and he fell faster.
The boy was clinging to the wall of the pit with his hands and feet, his face turning green.
What happened today? I originally just wanted to go back and forth in the forest to gain some experience and collect some resources for cultivation, but by chance I met my so-called "cousin".
The prey was naturally snatched away, and he couldn't resist. This was enough to make him feel bad, and then he encountered a beast tide!
He had only seen things like beast tides in books, and because of the agreement between the Four Cities and the Tiger King, they had not appeared in over a hundred years!
As a result, he met her again by coincidence!
That was fine, with Fu protecting him, not only did he not get hurt, but he also gained something while escaping, and gained confidence and determination for the future.
But! But!
He was about to escape the beast tide! He was about to pack up and go home for a good rest, but how could he have stepped into a deep pit?
Rong Jian felt that there might be no one in the world more unlucky than him!
Gritting his teeth, Rong Jian asked Fu on his shoulder: "What should I do?" He had no other options and could only pin his hopes on the powerful spirit of his own weapon.
Fu was stunned for a moment, then replied: "...Ah, well, since we've already slid here, let's go down and take a look!" Will I tell you that I made all these things? No.
Rong Jian was speechless for a moment. If he went down, who knew what was down there? What if it was some powerful spiritual beast, or some Jedi... Well, even if he didn't want to go down, it seemed that there was no other way.
Thinking of this, Rong Jian simply relaxed his body and let the suction pull him down.
The pit was actually not very deep. After Rong Jian gave up resistance, he reached the bottom in a short while.
I thought that even if I didn't break my arms or legs after falling like this, it would definitely be painful. However, I didn't expect that there was a pool of water below. After Rong Jian fell in, the water served as a buffer, and apart from choking on a few mouthfuls of water, he didn't suffer any other injuries.
The water in the pool was quite deep. Rong Jian struggled to swim to the shore, pulling himself up with his arms and legs. After climbing up, he turned over and lay on his back on the ground, taking a few deep breaths.
After running for so long amidst the beast tide, his strength had long since been depleted, and he was relying on a single breath to hold on. After encountering the black-robed man, he lay on the ground for a while to recover some strength, only to fall back into the pit...
Rong Jian said that if this was his own home, he would definitely hug the quilt tightly and have a good sleep.
But now, it is not possible.
Sitting up with the help of his hands, Rong Jian turned his gaze around and began to observe.
The pit was not big, about the size of a small courtyard, and most of it was occupied by a clear pond. Only a faint light shone through the top of the cave, which was the entrance to the cave where he had slid down.
The cave wall is made of smooth stone with water droplets attached to it. It is obvious that this place was formed naturally. There is no trace of human activity and no exit.
Rong Jian's eyes widened, he was completely stunned. He propped himself up to stand up, ran to the wall of the cave anxiously, and reached out to touch it little by little.
Fu floated in the air, tilted his head, and asked in confusion: "What is going on?"
"Let me see if there's a place I can go out!" Rong Jian said with a serious expression.
The naturally formed pit only allowed him to see light through the hole where he fell. If there were no other exit, he would be trapped here. So...how many days would he have left to live?
Oh... Fu suddenly realized that the kid might be disappointed. He really couldn't get out by himself.
Rong Jian searched for a long time but couldn't find any loose stones. This meant that this naturally formed cave really had no other exit!
He looked up at the faint light above his head and suddenly felt dizzy. It was over. It seemed that this was really the only exit.
However, he had nowhere to gain leverage when sliding down, so was climbing up even possible? Rong Jian suddenly felt a little hopeless.
Over here, Fu Zhuang casually flew around the pond for a while, then raised his hand and beckoned: "Hey, Xiao Jianjian, come here and take a look. Is this water a little different?"
Rong Jian, who was somewhat desperate, walked over with a bitter face and stared at the water for a while, "There is no difference!" It was clear and transparent, and except that there were no fish in it, it was no different from the pond outside.
Fu was silent for a moment, then flew to Rong Jian and placed one hand on his forehead: "Look now."
The sticky dark red liquid rolled and rippled in the pool. Unknown red water plants swayed their bodies, occasionally extending their branches out of the water, splashing water.
Rong Jian remembered something. Just now, after he fell in, he choked on some water...
