Ruo Mingjian know not to look at shi mingxi. He can only go down near the water and lower shi mingxi down towards the water.
Shi mingxi immediately grab his hand tightly she shout in panick "are you trying to drop me water" she immediately accuse him.
Ruo Mingjian lips twitch as he spoke "well that's quite good idea. But unfortunately I, don't have three hand I, can't pull her up. So, grab her I will pull you both up."
Shi mingxi calm down as she also realised that shi Yixue is too near the center of the whirlpool once she reach the centre.
She will be immediately suck inside without any chance of survival. So, when Ruo Mingjian lower her more.
She immediately shout "Yixue try to hold my hand" only then did shi Yixue notice them. She try to stand up on the wooden plank.
But the speed of water was too much and she couldn't stood up without losing her balance.
If she once again fall into water her chances to came out or chances of survival are extremely low.
So, she try to slowly stood up. while balancing her body after few attempts she manage to grab shi mingxi hand.
The moment she manage to grab her hand, Ruo Mingjian didn't waste any time escaping toward the sky.
When everyone present there thought that they all are safe. The whirlpool suddenly realised very powerful suction.
This suction drag everyone even the people in the sky. Not giving anyone any time to adjust to this sudden shift of events.
Those who were quick enough already had move away from the lake. Some people use teleportation talisman to escape.
Some had artifact protecting them from the suction. In other words all kind of life saving treasure were used to protect themselves.
But those unfortunate soul who didn't any chance to activate there life saving treasure of those who simple don't have any were sucked inside the water.
Ruo Mingjian know from the very start that going to the shi sister's is not wise idea from the beginning.
But his sister continue nagging make him stir the boat towards their. Even when he escape to sky with his sister and the shi girl.
He still know it's not good idea or when he risk everyone life to pull up shi Yixue. Even now when he's using all of his spiritual energy to maintain a barrier protecting all three of them.
Shi Yixue "damn it, I should have known coming here is not good idea." Ruo Mingjian would definitely have agree with her if he hadn't been busy maintaining the barrier.
Shi mingxi "if I survive today. I'm going to learn the defense skill first then others." She spoke while shoving energy recovery pill in her mouth.
Currently she's the only one who could use healing skill. Although she only had skimp over the manual about healing.
Luckily, the heal techniques in her inherited memory is still inside her mind. As long as she focus on learning and gasp the basics.
She could use it. But the current situation don't give her any time to focus properly. The sound of screams, the water crushing people, boats and whatever stuff it had suck.
Everything make it extremely hard to concentrate on anything. Moreover, the spining oh the spining, which is making people dizzy, nauseas and anxious.
Even if she want to learn anything she can't. Infact being able to even keep her mind calm can be consider great right now.
As Ruo senling already had start crying out of fear. Although shi mingxi have great patience and is good at dealing with little kids throwing tantrums.
She couldn't bear to listen to Ruo senling crying any more "SHUT. UP." Her angry shout momentarily stunt Ruo senling that she forget to cry for few seconds.
Shi mingxi "for heaven sake stop crying, it will not do anything. You are the one with the second highest cultivation among us all."
She try to distract her from the situation to calm her down, which actually work great. Ruo senling calm down and start supporting her brother.
She will take over her brother job of providing the barrier with energy to maintain it for few minutes letting him rest and restore his spiritual energy.
With both working together to maintain the barrier shi mingxi actually manage to focus on learning the healing technique.
The reason why she want to learn healing skill in such dangerous situations is shi Yixue. They all hadn't noticed when they pull her out of the water.
But she had pretty deep hole in her stomach, which is caused by heaven know what but is bleeding badly.
They had healing pill which apparently not working right now. Shi mingxi use the bandages that Shi Yixue had previously packed with her.
Those bandage temporarily lessen the bleeding but the chances of infection after being soaked in water is high.
At this point shi mingxi really want to tease her if she had been awake. That how she always manage to sleep out in such dangerous situations.
Which Shi Yixue probably had resort with helplessness and pout on her face. But right now she's out cold.
Ruo senling "just how long this whirlpool will stay. If this continue maintaining barrier will be more hard" she swallow handful of pills.
At this point both brother and sister are relaying on pills. The pressure from the water is continuously trying to crush the barrier.
They have to mend any tiny crack before it can become bigger threat to them. They are not the only one struggling.
Many of the cultivator's who were catch off guard and were sucked in the whirlpool have been using the barrier to protect themselves from the water current.
No matter how much strong they are. They are not immortals, the pressure from the water can easily crush there organs.
Unlike the Ruo siblings they are maintaining the barrier themselves. They had almost exhausted all of there energy recovery pills.
Once, they can't maintain the barrier anymore. They can only wait to be crushed by the water pressure or the debries.
