Chapter 309: Survival From Death

Caught in the torrent, He Lingchuan only had two words in his mind:

It's over.

Sure enough, Wen Daolun's word-splitting method worked. He ran away when he encountered water. He should have turned around and left when he reached the Han River.

But he didn't regret taking the medicine, so he could only quickly stuff a turtle bead into his mouth.

This thing can help him breathe in the water, so that he will not drown for a while, and the entrance shrinks to the size of a quail egg, so it will not hinder breathing.

Perhaps because he had survived death too many times, he was a little indifferent to death. At this time, his mind was spinning very fast, thinking about how to survive.

The wild waves then hit a huge piece of driftwood, which hit the strange bird directly and knocked it unconscious.

It was pushed forward immediately, but Dong Rui and He Lingchuan fell behind.

The two of them coincidentally grabbed the tail of the driftwood, and watched helplessly as the bull and the strange bird were washed away by the current, drifting further and further away, and soon disappeared from sight.

"Thirty-four!" Dong Rui's face was full of water and he gritted his teeth, "My thirty-four is gone! How could I encounter such an evil obstacle like you!"

"If you didn't... bah!" He Lingchuan opened his mouth and took a mouthful of muddy water, "If you didn't count our father and son, how could we have fallen into the water?"

This slippery man surnamed Dong used his winged mount to provoke the father and son again and again, and then escaped.

Now that the strange bird is gone, He Lingchuan can't be happy anymore.

Are you going to die with this weirdo this time?

The rotten log the two of them were currently on was drifting downhill at a speed of about sixty or seventy kilometers per hour. It was simply a dream to be rescued by others.

He quietly pressed the button to retract the arrow hook in his sleeve, hoping that he would have a chance to fire it later. During this process, the hook rope got stuck several times by branches and debris. Thanks to Li Fubo, what he made is really high-quality, otherwise this thing would probably have gone out of business long ago.

He Lingchuan held onto the driftwood with one hand, his fingertips digging into the wood, and tried to untie the rope with one hand while looking around in all directions, very busy.

Some things in this flood float slowly, while others float quickly.

He Lingchuan was pretty lucky, but Dong Rui was hit by floating roots and rocks one after another. His nosebleeds profusely and his head was buzzing.

All kinds of debris were carried towards their faces by the water waves, and they didn't dare to open their eyes.

Shitou also took away Dong Rui's mask.

The two of them were very close, almost shoulder to shoulder, picking up driftwood. He Lingchuan turned around and looked, and almost let go of his hands when he said "Oh" in shock:

Dong Rui's face is rotten.

It's still intact above the nose, but below the philtrum, it's collapsed.

It was as if the lower half of his face was made of paper and had been pinched flat. His cheeks are sunken, his mouth has a strange shape, and his skin is blue and black.

Dong Rui doesn't have many teeth left, so I don't know how he can speak without leaking.

And because the skin on the lower half of the face has no support, the area under the eyes is a bit slumped.

In short, his face seemed like a wax figure that had half melted and then solidified back. It looked weird from a distance and terrifying up close, and could scare a child to tears in the middle of the night.

He Lingchuan's surprise was written in his eyes. Dong Rui would usually be furious, but now he had no time to care.

He looked back and was stunned:

The vast floating belt filled with endless falling wood is almost catching up!

"I'm dead." He Lingchuan also glanced at him and muttered to himself, finally giving up. The two of them had been washed into the middle of the Han River, more than ten feet away from the shore, with no chance of landing.

There wasn't even a single rock out of the water along the way.

Dong Rui suddenly took out something and thought to himself: "Let's give it a try and treat a dead horse as a living horse!"

He quietly soaked the thing in the water, pretending that his hands were slippery and he couldn't hold it firmly, and let go of the driftwood with an "ouch".

So he was suddenly rushed away by the strong current.

Then he rubbed the things in his hands repeatedly while saying hurriedly: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

It was a transparent, soft thing. It looked like the stone flowers that He Lingchuan liked to eat, but it also looked a bit like a slug, because it obviously had tentacles...

I don’t know how Dong Rui kneaded it, but it started to swell, no, it started to swell.

It started out as a blob the size of an egg, then became the size of a coconut.

It works, it really works! He looked at He Lingchuan and laughed: "Goodbye! No, never again!"

The two of them were already two feet apart, and he felt relieved. Now that his life-saving baby can be used, he will see the puppy drown in the flood with his own eyes later!

Unexpectedly, He Lingchuan had been staring at him. As soon as he grinned, He Lingchuan raised his hand——

With a "pop" sound, the sleeve arrow that had just been installed was fired again.

This time there was no big wave causing trouble, and Dong Rui was drifting with the tide with nowhere to escape. This sleeve arrow accurately hit his shoulder and penetrated him.

There is a flying rope attached to the arrow.

He Lingchuan pushed hard and pressed the button. Dong Rui screamed and was pulled back by him!

The water flow happened to be in this direction, which helped He Lingchuan a lot.

In just a few breaths, the two were face to face again.

But this time Dong Rui almost fainted from the pain, but He Lingchuan looked at him and smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

He saw all Dong Rui's little moves. This guy has always cherished his life. How could he suddenly lose his grip on the driftwood that was meant to save his life? There must be some fraud!

In Dong Rui's opinion, what's the difference between his damn smile and that of a devil?

It's obvious that everyone has fallen into the water and is about to die, shouldn't they all panic? Why is this puppy staring at him?

But the expansion speed of the thing in his hand was not only slowing down, but also getting faster and faster.

As the two of them dragged it, it changed from a coconut to the size of a stone mill, making it impossible to hide it.

He Lingchuan looked down and saw this strange thing. He was not surprised but happy:

Is this Dong Rui's life-saving straw?

If he can save Dong Rui, he can also save him. At worst, he can keep it all to himself and squeeze Dong Rui out!

Then the thing expanded faster and faster.

When it finally took shape, it had become an ellipse with a diameter of about ten feet, one side was round and convex, the other side was flat, and there were many whiskers of different lengths below.

The strange thing was that both He Lingchuan and Dong Rui were wrapped in the middle.

Because this monster was completely transparent, the two looked at each other and saw each other's expressions clearly.

Isn't this just a...

He Lingchuan looked left and right, his body seemed to be stuck in the mud, with no stress points up, down, left, and right.

They were both frozen in this jelly-like monster body.

The more he looked at it, the more it looked like it. Damn, isn't this just an oversized jellyfish?

Of course, this jellyfish-like monster has an extremely flexible body. It slid over countless driftwood and stones.

Still very elastic?

The jellyfish floated downstream and was soon caught up by the floating belt. He Lingchuan and the others seemed to be sitting on a raft. The fat jellyfish isolated the external damage. The huge bushes floated past them and rushed forward like a train.

He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief. Phew, he was saved.

But he soon found that Dong Rui on the opposite side had a blue face. He spit out a few bubbles, and then paddled with both hands, trying to swim up.

This guy...drowned? Suffocated?

But how come He Lingchuan himself was fine?

He felt his breath and found that the jellyfish was basically still in liquid form, about 80% or 90% was water, and the rest was viscous material. At the moment, Dong Rui seemed to be trapped in a water ball and couldn't get out. It would be strange if he didn't suffocate!

He tried his best and only moved up a short distance, at most three feet, but the breath he held was almost used up.

Dong Rui stared at He Lingchuan, his eyes full of disbelief.

Why is this guy so leisurely? Is there any way to breathe underwater?

He desperately pointed at himself and stretched out his hand to He Lingchuan.

Meaning, help?

He Lingchuan smiled at him and spread his hands.

This guy has been causing trouble again and again, otherwise the two of them would not have fallen into the water. Now it is really pleasing to watch him die face to face.

Dong Rui also saw that he was unwilling to save him, so he shouted:

"Jellyfish are poisonous! If you don't save me, you will die too!"

Water can carry sound, he shouted twice, and He Lingchuan stopped smiling.

Jellyfish are poisonous?

After all, this is something Dong Rui prepared, and He Lingchuan also knows that some jellyfish are indeed highly poisonous.

It's better to believe it. He Lingchuan sighed.

Thinking back, he didn't know how long this jellyfish would float. He didn't want to soak in the corpse water, nor did he want to see the drowned ghost staring at him every time he opened his eyes.

Especially this drowned ghost is as ugly as it can be.

Therefore, He Lingchuan took out a turtle bead, shook it at Dong Rui, and then pulled the hook back.

This time Dong Rui understood, not only did he not resist, but he swam towards him frantically.

The distance between the two was only seven or eight feet, so they quickly got together in this two-way rush.

Dong Rui almost snatched the turtle bead from He Lingchuan's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then He Lingchuan saw him take a deep breath, and his limbs that were almost spasmodic calmed down.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward. Only Dong Rui's purple face slowly turned back to normal.

After a while, Dong Rui suddenly opened his mouth: "Don't do anything here, let's settle the score outside!"

The liquid inside the jellyfish is also flowing, and it seems that it can still be exchanged with the outside world, but it is a little slow. He Lingchuan said unhappily, "Where's the antidote?"

"As long as everything is peaceful between us, I will give it to you before we go out." Dong Rui was still panting, "This is a chronic poison, it won't kill anyone in two or three days."

He saw He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly said, "I have more than a hundred kinds of medicine on me, and the antidote has to be prepared now. If you kill me now, I don't know which medicine to use!"

He Lingchuan couldn't judge whether this was true or not, so he could only take it seriously for the time being. Dong Rui pointed at the sleeve arrow pierced on his shoulder and said, "Can you take it back?"

He Lingchuan then helped him remove the arrowhead.

Fortunately, the wound was very small. Dong Rui didn't tear the cloth strips to wrap the wound tightly as He Lingchuan thought, but he didn't know where to take out two silver fungus-like things and directly stuck them on the wound.

With this press, it sticks to the skin and blocks the water flow very well. Otherwise, Dong Rui's wound would be soaked in water for a long time, which is no different from cutting his wrist to commit suicide, and he would die of excessive blood loss sooner or later.

Dong Rui wanted to take out the medicine bottle, but He Lingchuan certainly didn't allow it. Who knows what this guy will take out when the opportunity arises?

He threw a pill to Dong Rui: "It's for stopping bleeding, swallow it."
