Chapter 379 - 378: Diving
The waves in the Dark River were raging, and the man took the lead in jumping down.
In an instant, his clothes were soaked by the black river water. The protective barrier could shield all kinds of dangers, yet it could not block the polluted water source.
"I’ll go ahead and check," Lu Chen pointed to the gap that was only as big as a crack.
He planned to cross it to scout ahead.
Su Mo’s heart tightened; she wasn’t that confident in her lung capacity and could only nod, "If it’s too far, come back, and we’ll think of another way."
"Wait for me."
The man took a deep breath and dived into the inky, surging waters.
Su Mo stood by the crevice in the rocks, her large eyes fixed on the place where he disappeared, her hands unconsciously sliding into her trousers.
At one minute, Su Mo was still calm, after two minutes, she reassured herself that the distance couldn’t be that far, after three minutes, her hand nearly twisted her trousers with a distorted mark. Now, five minutes had passed since he left, Su Mo’s hands began to shake; it felt too long, she didn’t know the situation on the other side, only the water that continually flowed through the bottom of the rock fissure.
Aside from the drip of water off the stalactites in the cave, the only sound was the beating of her heart, quickening with the wait.
