Elven settlers

Chapter 159 Rescue
"Yeah!"

Bay Leaf's body was pulled and suddenly leaned forward, but it reacted quickly, clenched its teeth and pulled the cane whip forcefully, its limbs drew four deep drag marks on the muddy river.

At this time, the Abo monster and Helujia on the left and right sides of Yueguiye's body also exerted their strength in time. With the combined force of the three elves, Yueguiye pushed the body's center of gravity back little by little.

Rock didn't expect that although the waves on the surface of the water are not very big, the undercurrent under the water is so strong.

As soon as he floated out of the water, he was rolled over by the current for half a circle. If he hadn't closed his breath in advance, he would definitely have choked on the water.

Fortunately, the bay leaves and the others tightened the cane whip in time, allowing Rock to slightly stabilize his body in the tumbling flood.

But Rock's swimming skills are not superb, and are only in the category of amateurs.

In the turbulent flood, he struggled to control his body, struggling to swim towards the wooly sheep drifting downstream holding the driftwood.

It was a last resort for Rock to risk his life like this. He also had the idea of ​​asking Bay Leaf to pull the three woolly sheep back with a vine whip.

But this idea only surfaced for a short moment before being rejected by Rock himself.

Bay Leaf's vine whip is essentially a whipping skill, not a tentacle growing out of the body.

Although in close range, the cane whip skill can be used flexibly like a part of the body to some extent.

But when the distance is extended, the control of the end of the rattan whip will be greatly reduced.

In addition, there is another reason that Rock has to worry about, that is, in such undulating floods, it is not easy to accurately tie the velvet sheep on the shore with a rattan whip.

Once you miss, there is a great possibility that you will be self-defeating, and instead drive the woolly sheep into the flood.

"Cough, cough, cough! Huchi...huchi!"

Rock inevitably choked on water.

A sudden wave covered his head, and while he was taking a breath, a mouthful of muddy river water suddenly poured into his mouth.

At this time, the water of the Jingkong River is not as clear as before, and it is full of the smell of sand.

Coughing out the river water in his mouth and nasal cavity, Rock stabilized his body engulfed by the tide.His chest heaved violently, feeling the strength in his body draining rapidly.

Just now, Rock was already close to the woolly sheep, but after this big wave swept through, the distance between him and the wooly sheep was pushed further.

Bayleaf, Arbor, and Heluga on the shore were worriedly watching Rock, who was swaying with the waves in the flood.

At the same time, their bodies were also moving downstream with the drift of Rock and the wooly sheep, because the vine whips of the bay leaves were not long enough.

After his breathing stabilized a little, Roque gathered up his courage and continued to swim towards the wooly sheep with difficulty.

His legs had no strength to propel, so he could only swing slightly to keep his body afloat in the water, only relying on alternate strokes of his arms to slowly approach the target.

While swimming, Rock's head kept looking around.

This is because from time to time in the flood, there will be a broken tree trunk, or the corpse of a wild elf drifting quickly by the current.

It would be uncomfortable to be hit by these debris in the water. Rock was accidentally hit by a short and thick branch just now, and now he feels his thigh is swollen.

After a very difficult and dangerous crossing, Rock finally got close to the wooly sheep.

They each hold two floating tree trunks, the smaller one being held by a single woolly sheep, and the other two holding the larger one.

The two woolly sheep that Rock approached first, they screamed anxiously after seeing Rock swimming over.

"Baa Kuo!" "Baa Kuo!"

The shaggy coats of the two shaggy sheep were soaked and clung to their hair.

They writhed uneasily on the driftwood they were holding, trying to get close to Rock.

"Don't move! Wait for me to pass!"

Rock yelled, stopped the woolly sheep from moving, then took a breath, kicked water vigorously with his legs, and finally grabbed the driftwood carrying the two wooly sheep.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

After embracing the tree trunk, Rock gasped heavily. The short sprint just now made him feel very tired.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, holding the driftwood with one hand, he slowly swam to the side of the two woolly sheep, and adjusted their posture so that they could hug the driftwood better.

Then Rock himself hugged the tree trunk tightly. After adding his weight, the tree trunk was mostly submerged in the water, but fortunately, it could hold on for a short time.

"Hold on tight, raise your tail up, and use flash!"

Hearing Rock's order, the two woolly sheep raised their tails from the water, and the sky blue ball at the end of the tails lit up brightly, which was very conspicuous in the gloomy and rainy day.

This was the signal that Rock and Bayleaf had agreed in advance. The three elves on the bank saw the light in the water and immediately pulled the cane whip vigorously.

The buoyancy of the river would have offset some of the weight of Rock and the two woolly sheep, but the strong undercurrent under the water made it more difficult for the bay leaves to drag them.

Fortunately, the huge Arbo monster is very powerful, and it and the bay leaf can use magic power, so they quickly pulled Rock and the two wooly sheep ashore.

As soon as they landed, the woolly sheep quickly moved away from the river bank on all fours, and were so frightened that they couldn't even walk upright.

With the help of the bay leaf, Roque also got up from the water.

He supported the bodies of Arbor and Heruga, moved a little away from some river banks, and panted heavily.

A rescue operation in the flood took a lot of strength for Rock, but he still couldn't rest, because there was the last velvet sheep in the river waiting for him to rescue.

After breathing for a while, Rock hurriedly re-tied the laurel whip and returned to the water.

But there is also good news, that is, Rock found that the rain seemed to be a little lighter, not as heavy as before.

Visibility has improved a lot, and the flood waters don't seem to be rising anymore.

At this time, Rock's position has reached the middle and lower reaches of the Jingkong River. While the water surface is getting wider, the eddies and undercurrents in the water are also weakening accordingly.

With his first experience, Rock was more careful this time. He swam slowly and steadily in the flood, and approached the last velvet sheep in the flood without any danger.

Just when Rock breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't notice that some bubbles suddenly appeared around him.

Under the turbid water surface, a huge drop-shaped black shadow quietly emerged.
