Chapter 15: Building Pain Tolerance

Just as he was about to panic, Dara suddenly jumped into the ditch and propped Lin onto his shoulders, enabling her to reach the rope which she grabbed for her dear life. Then Min pulled her out.

But before they could rest, they realized that there was a new problem; Dara himself could barely swim.

Though he had managed to claw his way out of the water back when his sister pushed him down the cliff, that river was nowhere as fast as fast as this spring which was gushing aggressively due to the pressure the weight of the plateau exerted on its channel.

Furthermore, that river wasn't as wide and deep as this ditch as well, and as a result, Dara found himself in a deadly situation; all because he allowed his emotions rather than logic to influence his decision.

The water was pushed Dara in circles around the plateau, and thus, he had to swim against the surging currents, so that he can remain in position until the siblings found a solution to his problem.
