Gritting his teeth, Shao Xuan endured the dizziness caused by the lack of oxygen, as well as the pain of his bones breaking. All he could do was to hold on tightly to the uneven stone surface. He knew that if he let go, he would be pulled out by the force and become part of the whirlpool along with the seawater. If that was the case, there would be no chance of survival.
It was as if a huge invisible net had formed around him, and any creature that touched this net would be caught.
Under the strong tearing force around him, Shao Xuan had no time to treat the open wound. He could only mobilize his totemic power to close the wound as much as possible to reduce the bleeding.
If he did not have the physical strength of a senior totemic warrior, if he did not have enough strength to replenish his strength, if he did not hold on to the stone surface with enough strength, Shao Xuan would not have been able to bear it.
Finally, just as Shao Xuan was about to lose consciousness, everything calmed down again.
Shao Xuan only felt that his body was lighter. The pressure of the seawater disappeared, and the tearing force around him disappeared without a trace. It was as if it had never existed, and it had suddenly disappeared.
His trembling bones slowly calmed down, and his tense muscles also relaxed. It was not that Shao Xuan had let down his guard, but that he had no more strength left. He had already reached his limit by holding on until now.
The sudden change had ended, and it seemed that he was temporarily safe. This made Shao Xuan let out a long sigh of relief.
Hmm?
Breathe.
Breathe again.
It was smooth!
There was air!
Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked around.
At this moment, Shao Xuan mistakenly thought that he had come to another world, a world without seawater.
However, after carefully observing his surroundings, Shao Xuan found that he was still holding on to the stone, and not far behind him was still the cliff at the bottom of the sea. The difference was that at this time, the seawater in this place was almost all gone. His clothes, hair, and the few seaweeds on the stone surface were all dried up as if they had been drained of water.
On the stone surface, the seaweeds that had been drained of water cracked and broke into pieces when touched.
Shao Xuan felt that he was also dehydrated. He drank all the remaining water in the kettle, but it could not replenish the water in his body. It was just an emergency.
A huge hole formed around him. Outside this hole, the seawater was still flowing in a vertical circle, but it no longer affected the stone surface.
It was very dark. This place was some distance from the surface of the sea, and there was very little light that could penetrate. Fortunately, Shao Xuan had a special ability to see.
Sitting on the stone surface, Shao Xuan thought what to do next.
The feeling of lack of oxygen was weakened. of oxygen, of course, of course, it was better than suffocation. a death.
After calming down, his physical strength gradually recovered, and his mind gradually became clearer.
He wanted to go out, but he did not know when this would. Should he stay here and wait, or should he walk along the long stone path in the hollow?
Knot divination?
There was no rope on his body. Should he use cloth?
This time, Shao Xuan did not intend to rely on the divination method that he did not know if it would succeed. Instead, he followed the Shaman's words. When faced with difficulties, seek answers from the totem flame. "When in darkness, the fire will light up the path ahead." It was just like when he was trapped in the king stoneworm's cave.
Closing his eyes, Shao Xuan felt the totem flame in his mind and carefully observed the movement of the flame.
At this moment, his will almost merged with the flame.
The flame jumped and floated to one side. Once, twice, thrice …
After confirming that the movement of the flame was not accidental, Shao Xuan opened his eyes and looked ahead.
In front of him was the direction of the flame. It was also a path that he could not see the end of and could not guess the future.
Looking at the whirlpool of seawater around him, Shao Xuan took a deep breath and lifted his feet.
Hesitation would only waste time. Since he had made a decision, he naturally had to act quickly.
Shao Xuan did not know how long this hole would last, or if it would disappear halfway. But since the fire had made this choice, he would try. In fact, even without using the fire, he had the intuition to move forward.
Indeed, it should be safest to stay here and wait for the change to disappear and then return to the surface. But Shao Xuan still intended to follow his intuition and the fire's choice. Even if this was a path of no return, he would continue.
The surroundings were very quiet, as if all the sounds of the outside world had been blocked. Only the sound of Shao Xuan's footsteps could be heard. It was empty, as if Shao Xuan was the only person left in the world.
When he was hungry, Shao Xuan scraped the dried seaweed from the stone ground to eat. It was very rare to see seaweed that could still cling to the stone ground under such a strong tearing force. It did not taste good, but it did not take much to replenish Shao Xuan's strength, so he would not starve to death.
Shao Xuan also discovered that even though the seaweed had been drained of water, its roots that were deeply embedded in the stone ground were still intact. If everything returned to its original state and seawater covered this place again, it might continue to grow normally. It was really a strong plant that could survive in extreme environments.
The further he went, the darker the hole became. At first, Shao Xuan could still feel an extremely dim light coming from above, but as he walked, that dim light disappeared.
Shao Xuan did not know how long he had been walking in this dark hole, nor did he know how long he had been eating the dried seaweed. Every day, except for the time spent resting and eating, he had been running forward, fearing that the hole would return to its original state in the next moment and he would be buried in the sea. This sense of pressure had been urging Shao Xuan to run, run faster.
He also had a water source. He carried the rain stone given by Yang Sui, which could condense water. This hole was only drained of water in a short period of time, but after the hole was formed, the water on the rain stone could still form normally. Moreover, he did not know if it was because he was at the bottom of the sea and was surrounded by water, but the speed of condensing water in this stone was much faster than in the desert.
Shao Xuan was very lucky to have this stone with him, otherwise, he would have died of thirst.
When Shao Xuan's taste buds were not sensitive to the seaweed, there seemed to be some dim light around him.
Shao Xuan did not know if this was a short period of time, or if he was approaching the end.
When he saw a mountain wall, he was sure that he had reached the end.
The hole ended here, and the stone ground was close to the mountain wall.
However, the surroundings were still the same.
Shao Xuan had no choice but to continue waiting, waiting for the sea to return to its original state. Every day, he still maintained the same state as when he was on the road, eating, drinking, running, and exercising to maintain the best physical strength and state to face the powerful tearing changes that might happen next.
After a while, the movement of the sea finally changed.
The air was pulled away in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding water vapor gradually thickened, and the powerful tearing force reappeared.
Holding his breath, Shao Xuan, who was ready, calmly hugged the stone ground.
When everything was over, Shao Xuan swam desperately upward.
Splash — —
His head emerged from the sea and breathed in the air with the smell of the sea. Because he used his special vision ability most of the time in the sea, it did not take long for him to adapt to the bright world.
Opening his eyes, the dazzling Yang Guang made Shao Xuan fall into a trance for a moment. He even felt that he did not know what year it was.
In front of him, it was not a high cliff, but a piece of land.
Some columnar cacti grew on the land, and some animals that looked very similar to camels stood up and bit off the flowers from the columnar cacti.
A camel chewed on a cactus flower and looked at the sea. When it saw the people on the sea, it flicked its long ears twice.
