Chapter 1752: The bent Osmanthus in the palace (5)

Translator: 549690339

Having suddenly arrived in a world with one-sixth of gravity, Richard was having a crazy time flying in the air, up and down, left and right, even easily performing the Cobra maneuver.

Zhang Zian understood its happiness, but now was really not the time to play. Besides, it could show him and Sihwa the way while playing, and it would not affect anything.

He shouted at Richard a few times, and in the end, he threatened Richard to put him back into the phone if he didn’t do something serious. Only then did Richard stop playing.

In the air, the sea below could be seen at a glance. The gray sea had higher visibility than the blue sea. In addition, the sea here was pure natural and pollution-free, so they could see things deeper under the sea.

“Gah? That’s the maelstrom you mentioned?” It noticed the hole in the ocean not far away. It was so wide that it could even accommodate a mountain on earth. It could not help but be amazed.

“That’s right. Don’t fly above the vortex out of curiosity. There’s an invisible turbulence in the air there that will drag you in.” Zhang Zian warned. Otherwise, this guy might really go and take a look when he was having fun.

When the Golden Pyramid sank, the few eagles flying above seemed to be caught by an invisible hand, also because of the sinking air.

In order to get a good view, Richard flew high up into the sky, so high that he could barely be seen, and then he flew back down, pointing to the side and said,””There seems to be a shadow over there. It might be land.”

Zhang Zian and Sihwa both had lingering fears about the dangerous waters. Even Sihwa, who had been clamoring to appear, would rather leave earlier.

“Ah!”

Sihwa suddenly screamed, and her face instantly turned ashen.

Zhang Zian was almost scared out of his wits, thinking that some monster was approaching or another vortex was forming under his feet.

“My phone! My phone’s gone!”

Sihwa grabbed her hair in pain.”What should I do?” He must have fallen into a Whirlpool just now … No! I have to pick it up!”

She only had one bikini on her, not a set. There was no pocket at all, and in that situation, she didn’t even know when her phone had slipped from her hand.

She wasn’t just saying it casually. It seemed like she really wanted to go and look for it.

Zhang Zian quickly stopped the internet-addicted girl and promised to buy her a new mobile phone when he went back. She reluctantly agreed, still thinking that the selfie and video had been wasted.

He had worked hard for a year before he was willing to buy a new mobile phone. Sihwa was almost her third mobile phone, right? To her, a cell phone was a consumable …

She was still pulling him forward, which was much faster than him swimming by himself. Besides, he had a stomach full of water and was almost unable to swim.

With Richard acting as an early warning in the air, the safety was greatly improved. When it saw a huge shadow approaching under the sea, or a huge Whirlpool in front of it, it quickly directed Sihwa to swim in another direction.

Sihwa’s hearing was extremely sensitive. Even if Richard was speaking in the air, she could still hear him clearly.

This fish and bird had a tacit understanding.

Zhang Zian was dragged behind like a dead dog, barely keeping his mouth and nose above the sea.

She didn’t know how long she had been swimming before she heard Sihwa cheer. She seemed to have seen land.

Zhang Zian was even more relieved.

However, at the same time, Richard cried out in surprise,”burp! Hurry up! Swim fast! You idiot, swim faster too!”

Zhang Zian raised his head and saw that it was looking behind him. Even its voice had changed, as if something terrible had appeared behind it.

He didn’t have time to confirm whether it was joking or not. At least he had recovered some strength. He immediately used his free hand and legs to start paddling. At this time, it was indeed safer to land as soon as possible.

After a few seconds, Sihwa made a sound of surprise because she realized that she seemed to have stopped in the water. No matter how she swam, the distance from the land remained almost the same.

No, it wasn’t that she had stopped, but that the sea level was rapidly falling, and the sea water was flowing back into the sea, like a low tide.

If it weren’t for Zhang Zian’s help, the two of them might have even been swept back by the sea.

Richard shouted in the air, urging them to go ashore quickly.

When Zhang Zian was kicking, his feet touched the soft sand, and the sea had already retreated to waist-deep.

The outline of the coast could be seen, and on the shore was a boundless forest. The trees looked like the Laurel trees on earth, but they were different. They were especially tall and thick, even more exaggerated than the thousand-year-old ancient trees in the mahogany forest.

One could imagine that because the restrictions of gravity were smaller, the trees here were more difficult to be crushed by their own weight. They could grow without any restraint, just like the pillars supporting the heavenly court.

This was probably the moon laurel forest maze.

The strange thing was that they had already stepped on the beach. No matter what terrible thing was in the sea, they should have been out of danger, but Richard was still urging them to run into the forest.

Sihwa’s fishtail became a burden on the beach. Zhang Zian took out his old mobile phone, put her in it, and ran forward on the beach.

A long and loud noise came from behind him, as if ten thousand horses were galloping.

He looked back and was scared out of his wits because it was a monstrous wall of water. He couldn’t see its end from left to right, and it was sweeping toward the shore.

It was a tsunami!

The only way to survive was to climb up a laurel tree that was taller than the tsunami.

He was quite mischievous when he was young. He learned how to climb trees from the brother in the shoe store next door. He ran to the nearest tree root and climbed up on all fours.

Logically speaking, he wouldn’t have time to climb to a safe height before the tsunami, but due to the low gravity, his body was lighter than the monkeys on earth. Just like the cloud-scaling ladder in wuxia novels, he didn’t need to climb at all. He just had to step on the branches and jump up.

The Laurel tree towered into the clouds. Its branches were extremely thick, and its bark was rough and chapped. There was a lot of space for climbing, and there was almost no possibility of falling.

Ever since he came to the moon Palace, he had been running for his life, trying his best to survive. He wanted to dig out all the potential in his life, otherwise, he would have died a long time ago.

As for why he didn’t call the game to quit this deadly challenge, it had to be explained by the “sunk cost”. It referred to the cost that one had paid for something that could not be recovered. For example, if one got married in order to get married, and found out that their personalities were not compatible, but the huge betrothal gift had been given, how could they divorce? Just make do.

A huge betrothal gift was equivalent to a sunk cost. If they couldn’t get it back, they would lose both their money and life if they divorced.

When the cyborgs were successful and had children, the sunk cost would be even greater, and he would be completely trapped.

The temptation of the immortal elixir was too great. He had just escaped from the lunar Sea vortex with great difficulty, so he couldn’t bear to withdraw from the challenge just like that. Otherwise, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain?

Fortunately, he finally managed to climb to a higher position than the tsunami before it hit.
