Chapter 1605: Sucked Into the Whirlpool

“Not good! Put away the flying boat!” shouted Long Chen. The flying boat was too large. If they put it away, perhaps they might have some hope of escaping

Xie Qianqian was panicking, and she hastily slammed a b.u.t.ton on the flying boat’s control panel.

The flying boat instantly transformed into a ray of light that entered Xie Qianqian’s head. The image of a flying boat appeared on her forehead.

Once the flying boat vanished, they instantly felt a terrifying suction force. They began to fly into the twister in the sky.

“Grab hold of me!” shouted Long Chen. Evilmoon appeared in his hand. As it was heavier than a mountain, the two of them immediately dropped to the ground.

Long Chen stabbed Evilmoon into the hard rock all the way to the hilt. He just barely managed to stabilize himself.

Xie Qianqian held on tightly to Long Chen’s waist, but her body was already being pulled into the air. That suction force was too terrifying.

“Hold on tightly! I can bring you out!” called out Long Chen.

At this moment, it was like he was on the edge of a rapid waterfall. The pulling force behind him was too great. Just standing there was very difficult.

Relying on Evilmoon’s weight, he forcibly took a step forward. However, the ground was too flat and smooth. There was nowhere for him to get leverage.

“Hold on!”

Long Chen took a deep breath. He suddenly pulled Evilmoon out and stabbed it back into the ground as quick as lightning.

This fierce movement only gained him half a foot of distance. However, that didn’t discourage him. In fact, this was a good sign. As long as he could move away, the further he got from the whirlpool, the weaker its pull would be.

“Long Chen… I can’t hold on any longer.” Xie Qianqian was holding onto Long Chen as best as she could; however, her arm strength was limited.

“Ah!”

Xie Qianqian let out a frightened cry as she lost power in her arms and was sucked away by the whirlpool.

Long Chen suddenly extracted Evilmoon and followed the suction force as well. Then, he grabbed Xie Qianqian’s arm before stabbing Evilmoon into the ground again.

Xie Qianqian was saved, but now they were hundreds of meters closer to the twister. The pull was even stronger.

Furthermore, he was now holding onto Xie Qianqian with one hand. He couldn’t use the same method he had before.

The thing that made his heart grow cold was that he actually couldn’t think of anything. He could only keep this position. However, if this continued, he would run out of energy sooner or later. Then they would be sucked into the twister and torn apart.

“Long Chen, throw her away and you’ll have a chance to get out. She’s just a burden,” said Evilmoon.

Long Chen ignored Evilmoon and looked all around. His brain was working rapidly to find some way to get out.

He also knew that as long as he let go, then without the burden of an extra person, he would have a high chance of being able to get away.

However, while he was no gentleman, he definitely wasn’t someone who would abandon his companion in the face of danger.

“Fool, do you want to die with her?” raged Evilmoon.

Long Chen continued to ignore it. He kicked the ground, trying to make a foothold for himself, but the ground was both tough and slippery. His kicks only caused his foot to hurt.

“Long Chen, let me go. Perhaps you’ll be able to escape on your own,” said Xie Qianqian softly as she watched Long Chen struggle.

She knew that neither of them would be able to escape like this. She knew this, and she knew Long Chen knew it as well.

“I’m grateful you didn’t abandon me, but it’s your only choice,” said Xie Qianqian helplessly.

Long Chen shook his head. “There’s always a way. Don’t panic.”

“It’s useless. If you wait any longer, you’ll use up too much energy and won’t be able to even save yourself. Thank you. I’m happy to have met you before dying.”

Light suddenly shone from Xie Qianqian’s arm. Long Chen was startled as Xie Qianqian actually slid from his hold.

That energy was strange. It was not physical or spiritual energy, but it made it so he couldn’t grab hold of her arm.

“Are you joking? I’ve never abandoned a companion. Let’s have a look at what’s inside the whirlpool!”

Long Chen suddenly pulled Evilmoon out of the ground. The two of them began flying toward the whirlpool.

“Are you crazy?!”
