LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 68 - Save People
Jiang Hao's unwavering resolve left Tian Tong even more astonished!
“Jiang Hao, please be cautious!”
Tian Tong instinctively offered a warning.
From that point on, his heart brimmed with unending concern.
“I wonder how skilled Jiang Hao is in the water. I pray nothing unfortunate befalls him!”
Tian Tong fixed his gaze on Jiang Hao's figure in the water, silently beseeching in his heart.
Once Jiang Hao leaped into the water, he deployed the swimming technique he had acquired by observing fish, transforming him into a nimble aquatic creature!
“Someone has already entered the water. It's a young man!”
On the riverbank, upon realizing that a rescuer had plunged into the water, the others felt a greater sense of relief. Simultaneously, they offered silent prayers for Jiang Hao's safety.
On the opposite side, Jiang Hao reached the child's side within moments.
Jiang Hao pulled the child to safety, promptly earning the admiration of the crowd gathered by the river.
“This young man possesses remarkable water skills. Everything will be fine. I have no doubt he'll be fine!”
“Impressive. Today, we owe this young man our gratitude for his heroic act!”
“Hurry, let's head to the riverside and lend a hand. Let's meet him halfway!”
……
While the crowd discussed the situation, a few individuals rushed to the riverside to assist Jiang Hao!
Tian Tong observed Jiang Hao's adeptness with water manipulation, realizing that he had already rescued the child. This brought him a sense of relief.
At this moment, Jiang Hao resembled a nimble fish, swiftly propelling the child towards the riverside.
His plan was to get the child to safety first, then rescue the young mother who couldn't swim but had jumped into the water anxiously to save her child!
Tian Tong rushed to the riverside as well, positioning himself to receive Jiang Hao.
Just as Jiang Hao reached the shore and took a deep breath of fresh air, he extended his hand and passed the child over to safety.
Beside him, Tian Tong voiced his concern in a hurry.
“Jiang Hao, are you okay?”
Before Jiang Hao could respond, someone on the shore suddenly pointed towards the water in the distance, shouting in astonishment!
“Look… What on earth is that?”
At this moment, everyone's attention was immediately captivated, including Jiang Hao's.
All eyes turned towards the direction indicated by the startled individual.
There, something resembling old tree bark was floating on the water's surface.
However, the peculiar thing was that this tree bark had protrusions resembling teeth on its back!
Witnessing this, Jiang Hao couldn't shake off a sense of unease.
Just as everyone started to believe it was merely a piece of bark, the object floated upward slightly, revealing more of its form. Only then did they clearly see what it was.
“Oh my goodness! It's a crocodile, run!”
A scream rang out, throwing the entire riverside into chaos.
“A crocodile? Hiss. Why are there crocodiles here? Run!”
“Quick, the crocodile is approaching!”
……
Panic and chaos erupted as everyone cried out in alarm, desperately pushing and shoving to climb up.
The entire area descended into turmoil in an instant.
In this moment, nobody cared about the possibility of saving someone anymore.
The sudden appearance of the crocodile startled Tian Tong, causing his face to lose color. After regaining his composure, he swiftly pulled Jiang Hao away.
“Jiang Hao, hurry, get up here!”
The child whom Jiang Hao had saved woke up and was overwhelmed by fear, shedding tears.
In the blink of an eye, everyone scattered, leaving only Tian Tong and the child by the riverbank, while Jiang Hao remained in the water.
Jiang Hao, too, was taken aback by the unexpected appearance of the crocodile. At this point, he couldn't spare a thought for why a crocodile had appeared here.
His gaze shifted between the distant crocodile, the struggling young mother in the water, and the weeping child on the shore.
His heart softened.
“Never mind.”
“Tian Tong, quickly bring the child up, I'll be right back!”
With those words, Jiang Hao clenched his teeth, turned around, and propelled himself towards the young mother who was still struggling in the water by kicking off the shore.
