Chapter 81: Natural Disaster? (1/2)

”What are we going to do now?” Lin Yun asked as he watched the surrounding. Clearly, they wouldn't be able to get out for the time being.

Lin Xiao scratched the back of his head as he mulled over. Obviously, he didn't like to stay in this narrow cave for long, but his wounds were not completely healed yet. Besides, he didn't know whether the water will reach this height or not.

”Let's rest for now. We'll discuss it later.”

”I'm not tired.”

”But I'm tired,” Lin Xiao retorted.

Wenren Yu was helpless. ”It'll be good if you rest because you can recover quickly that way. We might need to climb again later.”

”Got it.”

Lin Yun watched his brother lied on the corner then he recalled the plants that he brought into the cave in the river. His expression turned awkward. ”Now that it's already flooding like this, do you think the plants inside the cave still intact?”

”Probably no…”

”Damn….”

Thinking of the years he spent cultivating those plants, Lin Yun wanted to cry. He didn't really have much hobby because he was known to be sickly. However, taking care of herbs was one of the few activities that he enjoyed very much.

He felt sad that what he had worked on so far disappeared without a trace in just a blink of eye.

Wenren Yu sighed. He also recalled his garden back at Taiyi Sect. It might have been razed or burned down to ash by now.

”Just rest. We'll need stamina to move tomorrow.”

”Alright.”

The water level was still raising and Lin Yun didn't know how much it would raise. If it eventually reached this cave even though it was pretty high, they would have no other choice but to climb again in this rain.

”I'll make fire first.”

”Hmm.”

…

Lin Xiao was not the only one who were resting on the mountain. Many other villagers were in the same situation at the opposite side. They were trying hard to climb as far as possible as the water continued to rise.

”Make way!”

”AAAAAAAA!”

Splash!

The sheer number and competition that the narrow space caused made many villagers left behind. Some of them were unable to withstand the sudden water increase and drowned before they even had the chance to leave.

It was truly a miserable sight.
