The divers broke through the waves and fell into the river. They were drenched on the stone pillars, and their faces were pale and exhausted.
Obviously, they had already started the competition.
Unlike traditional diving, there was not a single diving board on these tall stone pillars. Every diver was standing on a platform that was less than one square meter, stretching their limbs. Lin Sanjiu had no idea what the divers had experienced in the river and how long they had been there. There were more than ten stone pillars in total, but a few of them were empty. The divers who were originally standing on them were nowhere to be seen.
The rest of the contestants looked terrible as well. Their bodies were trembling and weak, as if they would fall from the 100-meter-tall stone pillars if they were not careful. Even though they were far away from them, they could vaguely see their heaving chests, their pale and purplish faces, and even hear their heavy panting.
"What's wrong with them?" Lin Sanjiu raised her head and mumbled, "They look …"
"They look like they are dying," Soulsqn added, "They look even worse than you did just now."
"It's a reverse dive," the young man said to them, his breathing unstable. "In the first stage of the diving competition, you have to jump from the deepest part of the river to the surface. You have to jump for a long time. If you can jump out, you can take a breath of oxygen before you sink back down again. If you can't jump out, you will either suffocate to death or be killed by the disturbance at the bottom of the river."
"How do you know so much about it?"
"I have participated in it before. After that, their target is us. If they can smash us into the bottom of the river, they will have finished the competition and we will replace them as divers. "
"So, we are going to fight them?" Soulsqn immediately understood. She patted the young man's back, causing water droplets to splash on his back. "Don't worry! I will make sure that they won't be able to return alive. "
The young man couldn't help but shiver when he was patted by Soulsqn. He sighed again. "It better be like this —" Before he could finish his sentence, the wave suddenly rose. His body tilted slightly as if he was caught off guard by the wave. "Get ready, the wave is coming!"
Lin Sanjiu and the others were startled. Before they could even wipe the water off their faces, they were hit by the shockingly huge wave.
The young swimmer had reminded them of everything, but he didn't remind them to hold on tight. Perhaps, he was hoping that they would be washed away by the wave. The sudden surge of water sent Lin Sanjiu and the rest flying.
They had all underestimated the power of the waves.
It was as if a muffled thunderclap had broken through the air along with the waves. The deafening roar was so loud that only the roar of the waves could be heard. Lin Sanjiu had no time to react. In the blink of an eye, she had been swallowed by the tsunami-like waves.
The water immediately covered her face, and all sounds were cut off by the waves. Only the faint sound of flowing water could be heard. The air was suddenly cut off, and her eyes were stung by the water. Her nostrils started to burn because of the water that rushed into her nose. The worst thing was that she couldn't even step on the water to catch her breath, because the tsunami-like waves that weighed more than ten million pounds were crashing into the water from above her head with unparalleled force, smashing all the people who had sunk into the water into the darkness at the bottom of the river.
Regardless of whether she was a posthuman who could hold her breath longer than an ordinary person, and regardless of how good she was at swimming, as a human, she could only feel one thing: panic.
Lin Sanjiu's mind was blown away. She couldn't even form a coherent thought. All she knew was that she was flailing her arms and legs, trying to get back to the surface of the water. If Mrs. Manas hadn't suddenly shouted and covered her mouth and nose with her Higher Consciousness, she would have wasted all her energy kicking and flailing in panic.
When she finally regained her composure, she didn't know where she had sunk to. Soulsqn and the fatty were nowhere to be seen. Holding her breath, Lin Sanjiu swam upward with all her might. She knew that she wouldn't have much time to show her head.
Even though the bottom of the river was dark and gloomy, she could see a faint glimmer of light. The time behind the contestants was catching up very soon.
The first wave of tsunami-like waves finally returned to the water, and the undercurrent was no longer as turbulent as before. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Sanjiu swam upward with all her might. At the same time, she racked her brain for any Special Items that she could use. However, before she could come up with an idea, a name suddenly popped into her mind. Immediately, her blood boiled.
"Internazionale!"
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The sound of the horn had already turned into a faint, indistinct noise. However, the call of socialists was very powerful. Once it penetrated the surface of the river, even if there was only a little noise left, it could still inspire everyone who heard it. Lin Sanjiu's body trembled. She didn't know where the energy came from, but she immediately found the right direction and dashed out of the water.
"Here! Here! "
The surface of the river was still turbulent, but compared to the huge wave just now, it was considered stable. Lin Sanjiu panted heavily. From afar, she saw the fatty sitting on top of a person's head. He was waving at her, "Quick, come over here. You're not far away!"
Saving the fatty was one of the best decisions she had ever made.
When she finally caught the shoulder of the young man who was swimming, he finally turned his head and sighed at Lin Sanjiu.
From the side, he had a straight nose, a head full of black hair, and long eyelashes. Even though they were wet, they were still shockingly thick. Obviously, he had no intention of hiding his true feelings. Without hiding his disappointment, he said, "You're back."
Lin Sanjiu nodded.
"Forget it. At least we have one less person to carry. Hurry up," the young man ordered. Suddenly, a white wave appeared under his feet, and he dashed toward the river below the pillar. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what kind of Special Item he had used, but his speed was so fast that he was almost floating in the air like a yacht. The snow-white waves on both sides of the river rose so high that they almost formed two walls around him.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shivering when she was hit by the sudden cold wind. Then, she realized the meaning of his words. She quickly raised her head and asked the fatty, "Soulsqn … Where is that girl?"
"Just like you, she was also washed down," the fatty explained hurriedly, then frowned, "She fell later than you, so she should be able to hear my horn. I don't know why, but you're back, but she's not back …"
'Soulsqn isn't even a human, so why would she be called by socialists? '
Lin Sanjiu bit her lip and narrowed her eyes as she looked back. Soulsqn had been through a lot with her. Their relationship had changed from one where they used each other as enemies to one another. Now, when she thought that they might have left the flesh worm behind, she had an urge to turn back and look for it.
However, as impulsive as she was, Lin Sanjiu knew very well that it was impossible.
She couldn't even see the other contestants, so how was she going to look for Soulsqn, who might have already fallen to the bottom of the river? Besides, she wasn't a good swimmer. If she turned back now, she would be buried at the bottom of the river.
In the blink of an eye, the place where she had fallen into the river had already been swallowed by time.
"Don't take it to heart," the fatty observed her expression and whispered, "Life and death are decreed by fate …"
Before he could finish his sentence, the young man had already rushed to the front of the stone pillar. At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the air, cutting off the white fatty's sentence.
"They jumped down!" the young man shouted.
The young man called out. The two of them quickly looked up and saw a few figures leaping high into the air in their field of vision.
Perhaps they saw that the young man was carrying two contestants by himself, so there were four to five people aiming at them at the same time. If they could knock all of them into the river at the same time, at least three of the contestants would be freed from the competition.
Lin Sanjiu didn't even have time to shout. She immediately summoned her [Tornado Whip] and whipped it into the air. A powerful gust of wind swept toward the few figures in the air, as if it was going to split the air in half.
Under such circumstances, there was no Special Item more suitable than the [Tornado Whip]. The gust of wind came too suddenly, catching Lin Sanjiu off guard. Almost immediately, a few small black figures were swept away. The few people screamed as they were pushed far away. They struggled to get back to the pillar.
