Miwa Masayo paddled hard towards the surface. As an immortal, she had the ability to breathe underwater, but she still didn't like swimming by nature.
Now that she had completed her mission, she wanted to get back to shore as quickly as possible.
But Miwa Masayo really couldn't swim. She didn't realize that she was sucked into the whirlpool, which was caused by the water leakage.
It was not until Miwa Masayo emerged from the water and realized that he was moving away from the shore that he discovered the existence of the whirlpool.
The tabby cat immediately panicked, completely forgetting that it could stand on the water, and began paddling frantically, rushing towards the shore.
Her response was wrong, completely wrong, terribly wrong.
It's like a landlubber falling into a pool. Because his hands cannot support his face above the water, he is trapped by the one-meter-deep water. No matter how hard he struggles, he cannot stand up and he slowly moves towards death.
If Miwa Masayo knew the nature of water, she would swim outward along the flow of the whirlpool, wait for the whirlpool to spin her around, and then easily break free from it. In fact, the tabby cat was only on the periphery of the whirlpool at this time, and was still far from the death line of self-spinning where she could not break free.
As long as she didn't panic, she could break free from the current and jump onto the water surface. It wouldn't take her more than three seconds to jump to the shore.
Unfortunately, the tabby cat was already confused. All her attention was focused on paddling. Little by little, she was sucked to the center of the whirlpool, then went into a death spin and rushed into the three-meter-wide drainage culvert.
…
Uchiha You was originally resting on a boulder on one side of the river. When Miwa Masayo ran up, he suddenly remembered the scene of the dam flooding in his previous life. The water rushing out of the culvert was extremely fast. After hitting the bottom of the river and rebounding, it could soar to a height of nearly 15 meters.
He measured the difference between his position and the riverbed with his eyes: six meters.
It’s only six meters, this is the death line.
Uchiha You looked around and suddenly grinned. He found the safest place. In order to prevent falling rocks from blocking the exit, the culvert was extended an additional 40 meters after coming out of the dam. The huge pipe was placed on the river, reflecting the pale cement color under the direct sunlight at noon.
The water can hit the river bottom and rebound to a height of more than ten meters, but it is impossible for it to go the other way around and hit a position thirty meters behind the exit. Even if it does, it can only be individual droplets of water.
After a few seconds, Uchiha You lay comfortably on the concrete pipe.
The inner diameter of the duct is three meters, while the outer diameter reaches five meters. The main feature is to exchange thickness for strength.
The wide round tube was warmed by the sun. Lying on it and feeling the heat on my back, I immediately felt sleepy.
Soon, the body felt the vibration of the pipe. The water was released. Uchiha You's mouth curled up. Miwa Masayo moved the stone away. Things went smoothly.
[Wait, moved away?]
[With Lihuajiang's small body, how could she move that stone? ]
[But the water did flow down from the culvert, and the huge rocks were indeed moved away.]
[Miwa Masayo is truly amazing, worthy of being my Taoist companion. She is truly smart. I will have to ask her later how she did it…]
Just when Uchiha You thought he was overthinking, his heart started beating wildly. This was the warning from his passive magical power [Heart Blood**].
He suddenly stood up, looked around suspiciously, and tried his best to find any signs of danger.
What details did I overlook?
[Wait, the sound in the duct is a little strange. Is this sound... a collision? Is it a collision of something hard?]
Just when Uchiha You was feeling uneasy and wanted to move again in panic, the sound of hard objects colliding became more and more frequent.
The water splashed out from the culvert outlet first, just like the scene in Uchiha You's memory, the water flow hit the riverbed, stirring up a white streak that shot up into the sky, sweeping across the huge rock where he had been before.
The huge rock was smashed by the water without any resistance and disappeared in the white water.
Marveling at the impact from a close distance, feeling lucky to have escaped harm, and proud of his own cleverness, the strong emotions interfered with Uchiha You's spirituality, and the warning of his heart and blood quickly faded, but he mistakenly believed that the danger had passed.
So he stood on the huge pipe and failed to dodge in time.
The roar of splashing water covered up the sound of impact in the pipe, and when a sharp cracking sound was heard, Uchiha You did not realize the problem.
Just when he was caught off guard, the concrete pipe under his feet exploded.
The three-magatama Sharingan opened instantly and saw the splashes of water, the gray fragments formed by the broken pipes, and the sharp blue rocks.
[That stone... is the one I used to block the entrance...]
[Could it be that, Miwa Masayo, she didn’t move the stone, but blew it up…]
[My fault. I shouldn't have been lazy and let this little cat go up and get such a big rock.]
[I hope that when I come back, the entire duct will not collapse due to this problem. ]
【Hmm? What is that? 】
The rushing water was triggered by the water pressure of a drop of about 50 meters. It was powerful enough to split mountains and rocks, but Uchiha Yu's body would not be hurt. Because he was just a ninja, not a huge rock. Not only was he small, but he was also very flexible. With just a little movement, he could flow along with the impact of the water, and he would not bear it all like a rock.
But Uchiha You was a ninja weighing only more than 70 kilograms. Having lost his stable foothold, he could no longer resist the current once he moved and could only be swept away helplessly by the current.
It's just like falling from the air. As long as a ninja can't fly, no matter how powerful he is, there are very limited things he can do while falling from the air.
Uchiha You could only rush downstream with the pouring water, waiting to merge into a larger river channel, or enter a wider water area where the speed of the water flow would decrease, before he could find a way to escape from the predicament.
Just as he was about to curl up and take the maximum defensive stance, his Sharingan saw a familiar figure in the murky water.
Although no color can be seen, the cute triangular ears, soft tail, five-petal plum-like claws, and small figure, every detail is so familiar.
【Miwa Masayo? ?】
[This stupid cat...was actually sucked down? ]
[This is really stupid, really stupid...]
【……so cute.】
Uchiha You is indeed a qualified cat owner and he does not feel any resentment towards his own cat.
In any case, it was my fault for arranging the task wrong, causing my cat to fall into the water that she hated the most, and suffer so much.
He no longer took a defensive stance, but instead spread his arms and legs and paddled towards Miwa Masayo.
Uchiha You is 183 cm tall. Because of the excellent genes of the Uchiha family, he not only has a handsome face, but also a body with long legs, long arms, broad shoulders and a thin waist.
Every powerful stroke of those long and strong arms can drive the body forward a whole length.
Uchiha You was as fast as a swordfish. He nimbly avoided the debris in the water and quickly approached Miwa Masayo. With one hook, he pulled the dizzy cat into his arms.
After a quick check and confirming that the raccoon cat was just dizzy and had no signs of hypoxia, Uchiha You curled up with confidence, holding Miwa Masayo in his arms and assuming the strongest defensive posture.
Outside the spherical human body, the natural energy of the earth element is constantly circulating, offsetting the impact of any collision.
Uchiha You just went downstream and quickly approached the direction of Kyumori Village.
