Then, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen looked at each other and took a deep breath in unison.

Then, like warriors, the two of them fearlessly continued to stride forward, determined to face the unknown dangers.

However, just as Ye Ying helped the injured Ji Wuchen take a small step, something unexpected happened!

The once crystal-clear water suddenly seemed to be ignited, stirring up surging waves!

Before they could react, an irresistible force, like a ferocious beast, grabbed them and dragged them into the water.

The underwater currents were extremely strong. Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen tried their best to break free from their restraints, but in the end they were separated by the powerful current.

Ye Ying lost her way in the endless darkness, her heart filled with fear.

She didn't know where she was or what she would encounter next.

At this moment, Ye Ying could only rely on her courage and perseverance to find a way out of her predicament.

However, she wasn't a very good swimmer! There were even famous landlubbers a long time ago!

Is today her death day?

Just then, Ye Ying suddenly felt a powerful force gripping her tightly, and then she was forcefully pulled out of the water.

Ye Ying struggled to open her eyes and was surprised to find that it was actually Teacher Ji Wuchen!

It turns out that after being swept away by the current, he did not give up. Instead, relying on his indomitable will to survive, he struggled to find Ye Ying and eventually succeeded in rescuing her.

Both of them were panting heavily, their eyes fixed on the surging river before them, unsure of what to do.

Suddenly, Ye Ying noticed a protruding rock on the opposite bank of the river, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart: perhaps she could use this rock to cross the river!

She quickly pointed it out to Ji Wuchen, and after a brief exchange, the two decided to take a risk.

Ji Wuchen, dragging Ye Ying along, jumped into the river and swam with all his might toward the rock.

With great difficulty, he finally managed to get Ye Yingxian onto the rock, and then he himself struggled to climb ashore.

However, as soon as they stood firm and before they could even catch their breath, a huge python suddenly pounced out from behind the rock!

Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen were so frightened that they fell off the high rock again.

The giant python opened its blood-red maw, its fangs sharp and gleaming, and viciously bit at them.

Without hesitation, Ji Wuchen forcefully pushed Ye Ying away, then jumped backward with astonishing speed and agility.

The giant python's attack missed, and it hissed angrily, the sound deafening and echoing through the mountains and forests, before lunging at Ji Wuchen even more frantically.

Ji Wuchen drew his sharp longsword and engaged in a thrilling and fierce life-or-death struggle with the giant python.

Ye Ying watched nervously from the side, her heart pounding and her palms sweating. She anxiously searched around for anything that could help Ji Wuchen.

Suddenly, her gaze fell on a thick tree branch not far away, and a glimmer of hope welled up in her heart.

Without hesitation, Ye Ying grabbed a tree branch and bravely charged towards the giant python.

With all her might, she plunged the branch deep into the python's massive body.

The giant python writhed in agony, letting out a shrill hiss, and temporarily ceased its attack on Ji Wuchen.
