341 The Life-Saving Vortex (2/2)
Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou dodged the attack with the Fleeing Shadow. However, the shockwave from the slap was utterly terrifying. It managed to knock both Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou out from the shadow they were traveling in.
Both of them were knocked flying. It felt like their bones would fall apart any second now...
Luckily, they happened to be knocked toward the vortex. If they were flying in the other direction, they would surely be killed by any simple attack from either the Xuanwu Giant Lizard or the Giant Poisonous Centipede.
Falling from the air, Mo Fan quickly grabbed Zhang Xiaohou tight and plunged right into the vortex.

The layer of rocks under the swamp had collapsed. The thick mud was sucked into the underground river with a strong current.
As the bottom was blasted open, the water level of the swamp began to sink rapidly. It started from a small whirlpool with a diameter of a few meters, but it soon expended as the opening expanded...
The surface of the black swamp was peaceful just a few moments ago, calm enough to reflect the night sky, but it was now filled with rumbling waves and a rain of mud pouring down a big hole.
The two gigantic creatures stood in the swamp. The rolling waves seemed to have little effect on them. They continued to roar at one another in the midst of the stand-off, completely ignoring the whirlpool that had appeared!
The whirlpool gradually grew larger. Its diameter had reached twenty meters!
From the beasts' perspective, the whirlpool was not as tiny as it was before. The mud nearby poured into the hole at an insane pace, trying to fill the empty space.
Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou had already jumped into the vortex. The flow dragged them down further, and they soon found themselves right at the center of the vortex!
The two creatures pounced at the vortex when they saw the humans being dragged away by the current.
Due to their enormous sizes, as they lunged in the same direction, they both mistakenly assumed that the other was trying to attack them. As such, the Giant Poisonous Centipede responded by smashing its head into the Xuanwu Giant Lizard, while the later raised its front limbs and pressed its weight down on top of the centipede's body!
The Xuanwu Giant Lizard raised half of its body into the air before slamming it down hard. The terrifying impact ended up stirring a ring of tsunami, starting from the center of the lake.
The Giant Lizards at the shores of the swamp were no longer in the mood to enjoy their peaceful rest. The mud tsunami had already driven them somewhere far away, leaving a great mess on the trees, the ground and the foothills of the mountain.

Under the swamp, a great force surged from the surface of the water, instantly shattering the vortex.
Fortunately, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou were already in the pillar of water flowing down to the underground river. If it weren't for the cushioning from the mud and water, the force would have blasted a bigger hole under the swamp. The whole swamp would have collapsed, and there was no way they would have survived!
Li Man had already moved a distance away from the hole prior to the blast. Her ears were deafened by the echoes as the waterfall poured down with an unending roar.
The splattering mud from the pillar of water was so strong that it could even shatter the rocks to pieces.
The layer of rocks was punctured, and the whirlpool was created as planned. However, it would be a great surprise if the two men being dragged around by the current would feel at all great after their journey...
