Chapter 57: Mysterious Stone Box
The light at the bottom of the river was dim, and the water surged so fast that Shen Luo could hardly make out the object in his hand. He could only barely determine that it was an elongated thing.
He was so focused on the object in his hand that he lost his footing. A strong tide swept towards him, causing him to stumble and nearly get washed away.
"I got it!”
As he muttered with relief, he quickly tucked the object into his embrace and swam vigorously towards the surface.
However, Shen Luo had not swum upward for long before a dark shadow appeared in front of him – a large stone at the bottom of the river.
With a “bang”, he couldn’t avoid it in time and was swept up by the current, crashing heavily into the stone.
Shen Luo grunted, half of his body in severe pain. To make matters worse, he had banged his head on the stone, causing his vision to go dark, and temporarily losing his thinking capacity.
He spat out a long trail of air bubbles as he was completely carried away by the river.
At that moment, the rope tied around Shen Luo’s waist suddenly tightened. The length of it had reached its limit and had fortunately halted his drifting body just in time.
