A year, how many years did life have?

Lei Ao was so excited that he couldn't express his emotions. He waited until the rumbling sounds became louder and louder, before calming down. At this time, the current was getting faster and faster, and it took a lot of effort for him to reach the shore with the tree trunk. Otherwise, if there really was a waterfall in front of him, then he would be smashed to pieces.

"That is …" The cave entrance! "It really is a waterfall!" Lei Ao's heart shook. He forcefully pushed the tree trunk towards the shore, borrowing the friction from the tree branches to break away from the rushed water current.

This was the end of the underground river. Above the cave, there was a waterfall pouring down, and the water from the underground river flowed out from the cave and gathered together with the explosion.

"Motherf * cker, with such a strong impact, how are we going to get out?" With just a glance, Lei Ao had a bitter look on his face. Although the underground river had come to an end, that didn't mean he could escape.

A rumbling sound could be heard from below. Judging from the sound, the distance was at least a hundred zhang. A hundred zhang …

Even a fish would fall to its death, let alone a man. Moreover, it might not even be water down there. If it was a big stone, perhaps only the legendary immortals could fly over.

"What should we do? Are we really going to die here? " Lei Ao was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, trying to think of a solution.

If he had vines and things like that, he might be able to climb down, but in this ten thousand kilometer underground tunnel, other than the tree trunk that was with him for a year, there was nothing else he could use.

The tree trunk was not a rattan, and it was only three meters long. Due to being soaked in water for a long time, the bark at the bottom of the trunk had become extremely slippery.

Shaking his head, Lei Ao threw away the tree trunk and looked around. It was completely empty. Besides a tree not far away, there was nothing else.

"Eh, there seems to be something strange about that fruit tree?"

Lei Ao walked over with a puzzled expression. The tree in front of him was only as tall as a person. The trunk of the tree was straight without any branches, and was golden in color. At the top, there was only a single leaf. Under the leaf, there was a golden fruit. The fruit was only the size of a thumb, but it emitted a tempting fragrance.

What shocked Lei Ao the most was that as soon as he approached the fruit tree, the purple phoenix tattoo within his body had a reaction, as if it were some kind of delicious food. Lei Ao could clearly feel the excitement.

"At such a young age, can you fill your stomach? "Looks like I'll have to starve to death here this time."

Lei Ao had a bitter face. There was only one fruit tree nearby, and this was the only fruit in this area. How many times could he eat this fruit? This thumb-sized object was not even enough to fit through the gaps in one's teeth.

As he picked the fruit, he could feel waves of ice-cold air coming from it, causing him to feel an indescribable comfort. Lei Ao was secretly shocked, this fruit was probably not an ordinary thing, even if he ate it, he did not know if it had any side effects.

After hesitating for a long time, he turned his head to look at the mouth of the waterfall, then looked at his surroundings. Staying here would only cause him to starve to death, and if he rushed out, he would fall to his death. In comparison, the so-called side effects seemed insignificant.

"Forget it, even if I, Lei Ao, have a tough life, I won't be able to eat my fill before I die."

Lei Ao threw the fruit into his mouth and bit down hard. Sweet juice flowed down his throat and entered his stomach, and a sharp pain came from his lower abdomen.

"Wuu …" "Damn it, it really is poisonous …"

The juice of the fruit was burning hot like lava and his entire body felt as if it was about to melt. The purple phoenix tattoo on his back did not help at all, in any case releasing purple flames, which intertwined with the lava and rushed towards all his limbs and bones.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Not long after, blood spurted out from all the pores on Lei Ao's body. The veins on his face bulged out, and due to the pain, his entire face contorted. When that magma reached the Baihui acupoint above his head, Lei Ao felt a loud explosion sound in his ears, as if the world itself had collapsed. Immediately after that, his vision went dark and he fainted.

Due to the heat from his body, Lei Ao subconsciously rushed into the river before fainting. At this moment, he was unconscious, so he followed the river and rushed out of the underground passage. Then he was washed away by the waterfall above him.

"Where is this?" Underworld? " When he woke up again, the pain was gone, but the blood on his clothes showed that it was not a dream.

He looked around in a daze. There was no longer a waterfall in front of him, and there was no underground river beside him. He had already left that damned place. However, this did not mean that he had already escaped. Instead, he had fallen into another desperate situation.

"Heavens, are you kidding me? It would be easier for me to be poisoned by the fruit or fall to my death from the waterfall. What's the point of torturing a kid like me like this? "

Lei Ao let out a miserable laugh. His body fell flat on the ground. He gave up, no longer struggling for his life. He would rather starve to death.

This was a canyon, or could be said to be an endless abyss. The canyon was very long and very dark. Lei Ao's eyes could originally see in the darkness, but they could only see about three meters in front of him.

The mountain wall was too steep, it was practically vertical. There was no way for him to climb upwards. Although there was light on top of his head, it was only the size of a palm. Moreover …

Too far away! The distance was like the distance between heaven and earth, impossible to cross.

"There are so many stars tonight. It must be a pleasure to be able to see the stars before death."

"Dammit, that isn't a starry sky. It's water. Only when the sun shines does it shine."

After watching for a long time, he was finally able to see it for real. Lei Ao finally discovered that the palm-sized light above his head was not some sky, nor was that flickering silver light like a star.

Carefully recalling the situation after he ate the poison fruit, Lei Ao remembered that he had rushed into the river before falling unconscious. Without a doubt, he was pushed out of the tunnel by the current and then fell down the cliff by the waterfall.

However … If I were to fall from such a high place, even if there was water below, I would still fall into pieces. How come there isn't any injury on my body?

Lei Ao checked his body suspiciously. Other than his clothes and the blood stains on him, he couldn't find a single trace of injury on his body. He vaguely remembered that while he was unconscious, he seemed to have spent a long time in the water. The pressure from the water caused him to regain some consciousness, but he was soon tortured by the poison fruit and lost consciousness.

If he wasn't wrong, he fell from the waterfall. Below him was probably a large river or sea. The unconscious him sank into the water, and then … Appearing here?

Lei Ao, who was speculating on what had happened, was dumbfounded. Logically speaking, he should have been submerged in water. How could he be in this valley?

Could it be that there was a canyon under the water? If that was the case, then the river above him was the bottom of the lake? But why didn't the water come down?

"What the hell is going on?"

First, he was trapped in the underground river for a year, and finally, he floated to the end of the river, where he floated down to the precipice of the waterfall. Following that, he accidentally ate the poisonous fruit, and the pain made him want to die.

If he had just escaped from the trap, it would have been fine. However, he had just stepped out of the cliff and then entered the abyss. How could this be just a few hundred zhang away? Even a hundred zhang wouldn't be too much. What's more, so what if he climbed up? It wasn't the blue sky above him, it was a river...

"Why is the water above your head? "This is impossible, unless …" Lei Ao mumbled absentmindedly. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and his entire body shuddered.

It was impossible for water to float above his head because this was a natural law. Mortals did not have the power to change it, but mortals could not do it, so they might not necessarily be able to defeat immortals.

Lei Ao had always been thinking like a mortal. Looking back at this year, his experiences were not something a mortal could explain.

Who has ever seen an underground river that cannot be turned back? Who has ever eaten a golden fruit? Who could have safely crashed down from the one hundred zhang waterfall? Who could see the river water floating so high up in the sky?

No! This was not something that a mortal could understand.
