Chapter 859: Raging Waves
Chapter 859: Raging Waves
Amidst the fierce water flow, Kong held Su and Paimon tightly in his arms, enduring the surge of water elemental power in his body and trying to stay awake to ensure that the three of them would not directly hit the dangerous reefs.
After an unknown amount of time, the three members of the traveler team were washed onto a mudflat.
In the hushed vision of the sky, they saw several figures in diving suits running towards them.
"There are still people here! Alive! Rescue team! Hurry, hurry!"
"No, you're holding too tight and we can't separate! Bring a large stretcher!"
Su Qiang sat up despite the dizziness, "Don't come over..."
"Don't be afraid! We're here to save you...!"
Sue: "We are all covered in fetal sea water."
The concentration of the original fetal sea water in the sea water was extremely high, and it even made her feel dizzy from the surge of elemental power. If the Fontaine people touched it, they would probably melt on the spot.
As soon as the word "taihaishui" came out, it was as if the mute button was pressed on the scene.
Su summoned the black and white cat ball, which condensed the seawater on himself and his friends into ice, its healing power bringing some relief to his dizzy head.
The bruises and wounds on Kong's body healed quickly, and he gradually regained consciousness.
Paimon opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his friends, but his heart tightened again when he saw the surrounding environment.
Paimon: "This, this is Baisong Town?! How did it become like this..."
There were collapsed houses and debris of buildings everywhere, and entire sets of clothes were scattered in the thick and sticky mud. Paimon didn't dare to think too deeply about what those things were originally.
Devastated.
Empty and silent.
Baisong Town is close to the coast and has a low terrain, so it will indeed become the worst-hit area when a sudden flood occurs.
There was a scream not far away, and a young woman fell to the ground, "My feet! My feet!"
A rescuer wearing a Thorn Rose uniform ran over with a bucket of water, "Flush quickly!"
The young woman screamed even more miserably. In her eyes, water was now the most terrifying thing in the world.
"No! If we don't take care of it, it will be life-threatening!" The rescuer gritted his teeth and prepared to hug her to stop her struggling.
"Get out of the way!" Su pushed the rescuer away with one hand, and the black and white cat's head flew around the young woman.
As the water of the original fetal sea froze into ice, the erosion of the limbs stopped at the same time.
The young woman murmured "thank you" and fainted, unable to hold on any longer.
Rescuers carried her away on a stretcher, and the Traveler team seamlessly joined the tense rescue operation.
Paimon flew high and far, reporting the location of people who needed rescue.
Su and Kong went to the dangerous areas specifically to help those who were stained with fetal sea water.
The rescue operation lasted until midnight, and the situation in Baisong Town was basically clear.
More than 30% of the townspeople died in the flood, and a considerable number were injured.
The dangerous flood came too quickly, and people who didn't have time to escape disappeared into the water.
Among the injured, some fell from heights in fear, and some lost their limbs to the seawater while trying to save their loved ones...
The makeshift camp was filled with faces filled with exhaustion, numbness, and confusion, with deep sadness leaking through the cracks.
The suppressed cries or desperate howls of others seemed indistinct as if through a layer of glass. Only the emptiness in the heart silently roared with despair.
The team of travelers who came to send the wounded did not dare to stay here for long. After looking at each other with heavy hearts, they prepared to continue searching and rescuing.
Navia, who had been busy all the time, came over and said, "I really shouldn't have...but, I'm sorry, I..."
Paimon: "Is there anything you need our help with? Navia, don't be polite."
Navia did have something important to ask for.
The members of the Thorn Rose Society discovered a relic inside the mountain wall that was broken by the flood, with a large amount of water from the original fetal sea surging inside.
While arranging personnel to assist the townspeople in evacuating, Navia planned to investigate the specific situation in person.
"If left unchecked, terrible things might continue to happen, but if I don't return, no one will be able to deliver the message, so I'd like you to accompany me."
"Pah! Don't say unlucky words!" Su Lian pouted three times. "Just tell us the location, Navia, and you don't have to go."
Paimon nodded repeatedly, "That's right! Su is right!"
The water of the primordial fetal sea! A powerful weapon against the people of Fontaine! Navia is from Fontaine, so if you can avoid it, don't get close!
"Thank you..." A touching look appeared on Navia's tired face. Just as she was about to say something, a member of the Thorn Rose Society ran over anxiously.
"Miss! Myles and Silver took action without authorization, and their safety ropes are no longer responding!"
"What?!" Navia's face suddenly changed and she ran towards the entrance of the ruins. The team of travelers quickly followed.
After arriving at the entrance, Paimon worriedly advised, "Navia, just wait for us here...it's very dangerous."
Navia suppressed her panic and said, "I am the president of the Thorn Rose Society. Protecting my subordinates is my responsibility. What's more..."
What's more, Myles and Silver are not only Navia's subordinates, but also her relatives.
Knowing how important Miles and Silver were to Navia, Paimon stopped trying to persuade them.
A group of people went deep into this ancient ruins that had been hidden for many years and were only revealed due to floods.
The ruins were covered with traces of time. Kong discovered that this relic seemed to be even older than Lemuria in terms of its structure.
"Myles, Silver--" Navia called anxiously.
"Stop," Kong warned, "The environment here is very fragile. It's best not to make any noise."
Su spread out his energy thinly, preparing to explore the "points" of the two acquaintances.
Uncle Miles made pretty good desserts. He would take the initiative to send a basket to her and Paimon every time they met. She was impressed by his aura.
"Miss!" Myles and Silver, wearing black hats, emerged from the other side of the bridge. "Why did you come down here?"
Navia laughed with tears in her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "How dare you say that! Why did you untie the safety rope?"
Myles: “We saw this.”
Miles and Silver carefully put down the stone slabs they were holding and stood them up for everyone to see.
Silver: "The tablets of prophecy."
Miles said that he took the risk to check them out because he felt they were important things and planned to move them up.
Sora: "It's good that we've found the person. You and Navia go up first. I'll bring the slate back later."
"Thank you, Mr. Kong." Miles put down the stone slab and stepped onto the stone bridge with Silver.
"click"
As the sound of breaking was heard, the stone bridge quickly shattered, and Miles and Silver fell into the sea along with the stones.
Navia screamed and ran towards the fracture with big strides, trying to grab the hands of Miles and Silver.
But it was too late.
