Chapter 399: Chapter 183: The Mutated River Snails in the Swamp_2 Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, let’s hurry and see what’s happening first. Rescuing people is the priority." No one said much more, and they immediately got up and climbed onto the island. This island was covered with green weeds, some half as tall as a person and some even taller than a person’s head. Among the weeds, there were some bushes growing, showing a lush and vibrant scene. Having been trapped in the building for half a year, even Liang Yuan couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy upon seeing so much vegetation. "With so many plants, Song Wen, this place is simply perfect for you to use your superpower." Yang Shenmin couldn’t help but say. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖 Song Wen also smiled, reaching out to touch the green plants. While she felt joyful, she also sensed her superpower stirring within her, as if it were resonating with the surrounding plants. She couldn’t help but say, "This place is wonderful. If we lived here, planted some vegetables, and grew some rice, we wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink." Liang Yuan said, "Humans are still more suited to live on land. This place... hmm?" He hadn’t finished speaking when his eyes suddenly focused on a bush ahead. He saw that there were many pieces of seaweed hanging from the bushes, which from a distance looked like strips of dark green cloth. Liang Yuan quickly walked over, picked off the seaweed, and said curiously, "Why is there seaweed growing here?" "It’s true, this seaweed has been dried by the sun." "But it has roots planted in the soil." Song Wen was also surprised. Ding Yan walked over, looked down at the bushes, and said, "Look, there are some dead fish here too." Yang Shenmin and Shi Haizhu also squatted down and parted the grass on the ground. Indeed, there were many puddles on the ground with quite a few dead fish and shrimp inside. They looked dried out, indicating they had been dead for a while. "This should originally be the top of a mountain. How could there be these dead fish and shrimp?" Shi Haizhu couldn’t help but say. Yang Shenmin thought for a moment and said, "I’ve heard that on the sea, there are water tornados that can sweep things from the seabed up to hundreds of meters high, forming a seafood rain." "Could it be that this place also experienced such a water tornado?" Hearing this, Liang Yuan thought of a similar possibility and said, "It’s not impossible. Never mind, don’t worry about it for now. Let’s find the people first. The cries for help came from that direction, right?" He pointed in a direction, asking everyone. Ding Yan nodded, "It was that way." "Let’s go and take a look." Liang Yuan took the lead, and the group continued walking inward. Before long, more and more puddles appeared ahead, vaguely forming a swampy area. The water plants were abundant, and the mud grew deeper. Suddenly, Shi Haizhu pointed to a patch of grass ahead and said, "Over there!" Everyone immediately looked over and saw that the grass had fallen over, and a person was lying in a puddle. Ding Yan hurried over, shouting, "Hey? Are you okay?" She shouted as she prepared to rescue the person. Liang Yuan suddenly shouted, "Wait, come back, Ding Yan!" Ding Yan was stunned and stopped in her tracks, turning back to say, "What’s wrong?" Just as she finished speaking, her foot suddenly slipped! The next moment, her whole body immediately began to sink into the mud! "Ah!" Ding Yan was shocked and angry, quickly pushing with both hands, and the empowerment light on her hands lit up. With a loud bang, under a burst of massive explosive force, the mud splattered, and her body immediately shot out of the mud, rolling quickly and landing in the grass nearby. She was terrified, her whole body already covered in mud. "Be careful, there’s something under the water... Ah!" She hadn’t finished speaking when the water plants beneath her suddenly loosened, and she began to sink again. Ding Yan quickly used the same tactic, pressing her empowered palms against the mud. With a booming explosion, her body shot up again. However, just as she jumped out of the mud pit, a shadow suddenly shot out from the pit. The next moment, something wrapped around her ankle, dragging her back down. At the same time, Liang Yuan, Yang Shenmin, Song Wen, and Shi Haizhu also encountered danger. The mud beneath their feet shifted, and the mud rapidly rose, continuously swallowing them. Liang Yuan reacted swiftly, immediately taking out a paddle board from his inventory. He gripped the paddle board, quickly breaking free from the mud, and flipped onto the board. However, the others didn’t have an inventory to carry a paddle board with them. Yang Shenmin and Shi Haizhu were both being swallowed by the mud, quickly sinking up to their thighs. The two were terrified, hurriedly lunging forward to spread their weight and lessen the sinking. But the mud pit churned, and lying in the mud, they sank even faster. This made them panic, and they cried out urgently. "Help!" "There’s something pulling me down from below, ahhh..." In no time, their heads were being pulled under the mud. At this moment, Yang Shenmin suddenly felt something grab the back of his neck. Then a great force pulled him up from the mud like pulling a radish. Covered in mud, Yang Shenmin quickly looked up to see Liang Yuan’s hand. He gasped and urgently said, "There’s something down there pulling me!" "Oh no, Zhuzi!" He immediately remembered and urgently called out to Liang Yuan. But by this time, Shi Haizhu and Ding Yan were both being pulled into the mud, and both were in grave danger. Liang Yuan’s face darkened slightly, and he quickly tossed two paddle boards, shouting, "Grab the boards!" Ding Yan grabbed the board, but whatever was beneath the mud held tightly onto her ankle, preventing her from climbing up. Shi Haizhu was in the same situation, his expression anxious.
