C8 Water bottom of small pond (1/2)

Yang Feng had been in the small valley for an entire year, and the once sixteen year old youngster had now undergone a tremendous change. Although his appearance was still ordinary and handsome, his current expression revealed incomparable perseverance, and he was no longer that frail youth who had already grown up to be someone who could take charge of himself.

It had been a year, and Yang Feng was already seventeen years old. It was now late autumn, and as Yang Feng looked at the cliff in front of him, he began to climb. This was already the tenth time he had climbed up, and the first nine times had been a failure. Although Yang Feng had trained in the high levelled [Spiral Nine Shadows] technique, he still could not fly up the cliff at once, and could only climb up bit by bit.

At this time, the nine yin white claw that Yang Feng was cultivating in played a key role, clawing out simultaneously, climbing up time after time. Unfortunately, this cliff was just too high, Yang Feng used up all of his strength, and adding on the tiny bit of True Qi in his body, he had only used up half of his strength, and was no longer able to go another step forward.

The tenth attempt still failed! Yang Feng sighed, he leaned on the cliff and rested, thinking why doesn't the cliff have vines and things like that, if there were those, he could use them to climb up, sigh, there was no other way.

Yang Feng looked at the pond in front of him quietly. It was already late autumn, so the rain had lessened, and the water flow inside the waterfall had become smaller. It was no longer as turbulent as it was before, and was gradually being poured into the pond.

Seeing this, Yang Feng suddenly thought of a problem. That was, when there was a lot of rain in the summer, the water in this small pond was also this much, and he had not seen it rise before. However, now that the rain had subsided, the water level in this small pond was still the same, and it had not dropped either. What was going on? What about the water that comes out when the rain is heavy? And where did the rain replenish the water in this place when there was less rain?

Yang Feng thought for a long time that the only explanation he could come up with was that this small pond was probably connected to the underground river. When there was more rain, the water in the small pond would flow into the underground river, and if the water in the small pond decreased, the water would be replenished by the underground river. When he thought about it, Yang Feng's eyes lit up. He thought that he could use this small pond to leave this place.

However, this method was much more dangerous, because Yang Feng was not sure if the small pond was connected to the underground river, and where did the underground river lead to?! However, Yang Feng decided to give it a try, because if he did not, he could only sit here and wait for death.

If Yang Feng did not take the risk, he might have stayed back to wait for his death, because there was no food left, and it was impossible for him to climb the cliff. Unless his strength improved greatly in a short period of time, maybe he could use his lightness skills to climb the cliff, but how could the growth of his inner strength be that easy, I reckon that before Yang Feng's strength improved greatly, he would already be dead.

Therefore, the only choice he had was to take the risk. Yang Feng took a deep breath, and immediately dove into the water, catching fish in the water multiple times had already made Yang Feng's water flow much better, and with the help of his Qi, he could see things even though he was in the water.

Yang Feng kept diving towards the bottom of the small pond. What surprised Yang Feng was that this small pond didn't look very deep, but even after he had swam underwater for a long time, he still had not reached the bottom. The oxygen in his body was already insufficient, and the pressure and buoyancy of the water was also increasing, causing Yang Feng to be unable to hold on for much longer, however, this small pond still had not reached the bottom.

With no other choice, Yang Feng could only swim upwards and quickly float to the surface of the water. Yang Feng took in a few large gulps of air, and at the same time, exhaled the foul air in his lungs. After resting for a while and recovering some of his strength, Yang Feng found a large stone on the side of the small pond.

This time, Yang Feng dived very quickly, and only used a little effort to reach the place he went before. After that, he clenched his teeth, endured the pressure from the water, and quickly dived downwards. Yang Feng held in that breath of his and kept going downwards for an unknown amount of time, only feeling that he was already starting to lose consciousness. Just as he was about to lose consciousness, a huge suction force came from the bottom of the small pond, causing Yang Feng to be swept away.
