Someone Fell Into the Water

"This way…" Amelia led Alex towards a banyan tree by the water. The banyan tree was not big, and its trunk was only as thick as an adult's thigh. Its branches extended to the river, and its roots hung into the river.

The compass needle stopped moving at this point.

Alex said, "Here?" There was nothing unusual! He put Amelia down and instructed, "Stay here. I'll go down and take a look."

The mud beside the banyan tree was slippery. Alex carefully walked down a few meters and looked up in the direction of the banyan tree root that was covered by the bushes. What he saw frightened him so much that his heart skipped a beat and his scalp went numb!
