Chapter 73 Ancient Tree(1/2)
"It is raining again."
Listening to the sound of rain outside, Wan Yuan was already used to it.
After all, it rained many times that day.
"Um?"
Wan Yuan walked to the window.
This rain, something feels wrong.
This was the first time he saw black rain.
Wan Yuan poured out the small bottle of worm acid he had left and put it outside to catch the rain.
After all, he can still practice worm acid, and if the black rain is gone, it will be gone.
I'll have time to analyze it after I get a bottle, it looks really weird.
It rained heavily, and soon a small bottle was filled.
Looking at the black water in the bottle, Wan Yuan swayed.
I didn't feel very panicked.
Is there any difference between this black rain and the black water in Blackwater Pond?
Without thinking about these things in a hurry, Wan Yuan took a step forward.
Patta——
He stepped on the water, but he was still at Uncle Pi's house!
The speed at which the water is rising is a bit alarming.
Wan Yuan reminded Uncle Pi and the others: "Uncle Pi, it's time for us to leave. The water has risen a bit. Heishui Village will be flooded in a while. The road out of the village is blocked. I noticed something in the village before.
There is an old tree, let’s go there to take shelter.”
Don't be killed by monsters or natural disasters by then.
Although Wan Yuan believed that his current water quality was the best among the people present, he did not dare to believe that he could survive a natural disaster.
"good."
Uncle Pi naturally had no objections to the ten thousand yuan proposal. After all, even a blind man could feel that the water was already coming in.
He directly carried Xiaopi on his back, while Wan Yuan opened the way in front.
The goddess also said something like "We will all die" while following Wan Yuan and the others.
The ancient tree in the village is only more than 20 meters high, but it is so thick that according to the visual inspection of Wan Yuan, it needs at least thirty people to surround it.
There must only be a lot more roots underground.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens and the entire village is washed away, nothing will happen to this ancient tree.
Wan Yuan and others walked towards the ancient tree, but met other villagers head-on.
They shouted about monsters and the like and ran towards the entrance of the village.
Uncle Pi caught a man and roared in the heavy rain: "Three dogs! Where are my parents!? Didn't they go to Blackwater Pool too!?"
"Brother Hua (Uncle Pi), your parents must have died there if they couldn't run away! There are man-eating monsters over there! And there are more and more of them! Brother Hua, run away too!!"
The man known as Sangou broke away from Uncle Pi and ran towards the entrance of the village.
Wan Yuan watched all this silently.
If before he wanted to drive Uncle Pi's car to the place where the bridge collapsed and buried, then with the heavy rain now, not to mention whether there would be a second landslide, the rising river water could wash you away.
Therefore, the behavior of these villagers running towards the village entrance has already marked them as "death" in Wan Yuan's eyes.
But he won't persuade them. If there is no life threat, he may take the time to explain to them.
But now, just because Uncle Pi had said a few words to them, the water had already risen to his thighs.
This is obviously not normal!
So Wan Yuan will not care about others.
"Uncle Pi! Let's go quickly!" Wan Yuan persuaded.
"But they..."
Uncle Pi felt a little sad when he saw Sangou and others running towards the entrance of the village, who had grown up with him.
If what Wan Yuan said is true, then Sangou and the others probably won't survive.
But there's not much time for sentimentality now.
"Let's go! The water is rising too fast! Do you want Xiaopi to die here with you?"
Wan Yuan's words can be said to have touched Uncle Pi's death door.
He glanced at the unconscious Xiaopi on his back, and his eyes became firm.
"Walk!"
Just like that, several people walked towards the ancient tree again.
During this period, Wan Yuan also picked up a piece of nylon rope. The rope was quite long, estimated to be twenty meters long.
He handed one end of the rope to Uncle Pi, who understood and tied Xiaopi to his body with the rope. Then Wan Yuan walked in front holding the rope while Goddess held the last section of the rope behind.
The three of them walked forward at a distance of five meters.
Because of the rope, Uncle Pi freed his hands, and sometimes he didn't need to work hard to get up if he tripped.
When the water reaches their waists.
Ten thousand yuan immediately started swimming.
Fortunately, they had arrived at the old tree. Wan Yuan climbed up the stump of the old tree, took a few breaths, and then grabbed the rope to pull Uncle Pi and the others up.
However..
There was a pop.
There was a loud noise from the direction of Blackwater Pool.
The water level rose by more than one meter in an instant. Wan Yuan was caught off guard and took a sip of water, and was washed away!
Fortunately, he didn't have much water, so he swam behind the old tree. Without the impact, Wan Yuan grabbed the old tree and climbed up the branch.
"Hu~hu~."
Wan Yuan was lying on a thick branch. He was really tired this time.
There were three people pulling behind him just now. If he didn't want to die and used all his strength, they would have pulled him away.
In fact, this is also expected. Fortunately, Wan Yuan practiced swimming hard after the incident in the fishing village. Otherwise, he would not have jumped off the waterfall to save that person. He has already forgotten it.
If it really can't be pulled anymore, Wan Yuan will let go of the rope.
When Uncle Pi saw this, he knew that Wan Yuan had tried his best, so he didn't ask too much from him.
As a mature man, Uncle Pi also started climbing trees with Xiaopi on his back.
Halfway through the climb, it’s time for the goddess to climb.
The goddess suddenly laughed.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! I'm not dead after all! I survived! Pull me up! I survived!"
Looking at the crazy goddess now, before taking back the ten thousand yuan, he thought that the goddess was the same kind.
But he didn't pull, the water level was about to rise to him, and he had to save his strength.
If you can't climb up by yourself...
Wan Yuan put his hand into his backpack.
An open dagger inside was shining coldly.
Wan Yuan put it back into its sheath.
If they can't climb up by themselves, even Uncle Pi will have no choice but to let them die here.
Wan Yuan, who has experienced five worlds, has classified his own safety as the first factor.
Seeing that Wan Yuan was motionless, the goddess finally started to get up.
At the same time, I feel that ten thousand yuan does not respect the old and care for the young at all.
However..
Her pupils suddenly widened, and only her head was left floating on the water.
The goddess said in horror:
"Help me! Help me! There's something pulling me under the water! Help me!"
"grass!"
