Chapter 247 How can I not be nervous with you on my back?
The plan of the two was very successful. From the moment Xing Lie carried Hua Yang into the lake until Xing Lie walked through the deepest center of the lake, most of Xing Lie's body was in the lake. Hua Yang expanded the area of the water shield and directly wrapped up both Xing Lie and her.
During this process, the two held their breath, not daring to say a word, and even controlled their breathing to slow down. But when they were less than ten meters away from the opposite shore, Xing Lie suddenly stopped.
Hua Yang was stunned, hooked her arm around Xing Lie's neck and patted his shoulder, wanting to ask why he didn't leave. But the next second, the familiar black energy in Xing Lie's body suddenly released for no reason, wrapping up the two of them.
He leaped into the air with his long legs, and when he landed, he saw more than a dozen huge black crocodile heads raised above the lake.
Xing Lie used the crocodile's head as a stepping stone, and after a few jumps, he and Hua Yang successfully hid in the dense vegetation on the opposite side and disappeared without a trace.
More than a dozen huge crocodiles roared fiercely towards the place where the two people disappeared, and then disappeared under the lake again.
"Huh, there seems to be something in that lake. I was careless then." Xing Lie laughed at himself. Seeing Hua Yang lying on his back and laughing secretly, he held her by the sac and moved her into his arms.
Hua Yang was thin to begin with, and in Xing Lie's hands she was like a doll that he could manipulate as he pleased, small and exquisite, yet delicate and fragile.
"You woman, you're still laughing."
"Hahaha, no, did you just step on the crocodile's head and get scared?" Hua Yang noticed Xing Lie's expression just now. He was nervous but tried not to show it. His forehead was covered in sweat, which made her laugh.
"It's just that it's rare to see you so nervous."
Xing Lie raised his mouth helplessly, "Yeah, with you on my back, how can I not be nervous?"
Hua Yang's laughter gradually disappeared when Xing Lie finished saying this, "Actually, I'm very capable! If you encounter an unexpected situation, I can also help you!"
"I know my Yangyang is very capable. You can handle it even without me." Xing Lie's face was full of seriousness, and his eyes firmly grasped Hua Yang's gaze. "However, I hope that in the future, you can rely on me more, just like today."
"I..." As he looked at Xing Lie's face getting closer and closer, he immediately changed his words and said, "Okay, okay, fine, I'll try."
Xing Lie raised a triumphant smile on his face, and unexpectedly and quickly caught Hua Yang's slightly pouting mouth with an unwilling expression before she could react.
"Shame on you! You filthy rascal!"
Seeing Xing Lie bullying his handsome face again, Hua Yang blushed and turned away, "Didn't you say you wanted me to get used to relying on you?"
"Um."
"Then you, turn around!"
Xing Lie didn't understand why, and he was holding Hua Yang's arms and was unwilling to move.
"Oh, it's already late, it's important to find a way out! When can't we kiss?"
Xing Lie raised his lips, "Oh? You mean, it's okay after we get out?"
Hua Yang's tone paused, and she took a deep breath, "That's impossible! Now! Let's find the exit quickly! Turn around!"
Xing Lie turned away proudly in the face of Hua Yang's embarrassed and shy expression. Hua Yang rushed over and climbed onto Xing Lie's back, "Captain Xing, the rest of the journey depends on you!"
Xing Lie smiled ostentatiously and patted Hua Yang's dangling calves. "Hold my neck tight, don't fall down."
It was unknown how vast this primeval forest was. The two men walked cautiously towards the center for half a day, passing by habitats of various species. Some built nests in tree holes, some on trees, and some dug holes on the ground. When they came out to look for food, they happened to fall on Xing Lie's instep.
The closer they got to the center, the taller the ancient trees became and the denser the vegetation became. They passed two lakes and a swamp, and were almost dragged down by strange creatures in the swamp before they finally saw an extremely abrupt hill not far away.
This hill is more like a small mountain than a hill. There is a cave on the side of the hill that is big enough for one person to pass through.
"Is it there?" Hua Yang lay on Xing Lie's back and pointed at the cave over there, "Do you think this cave looks familiar?"
Xing Lie was carrying Hua Yang on his back as he walked towards the cave. Suddenly, a startling roar of a cow came from the cave. This roar seemed to be a warning roar after being startled by something.
"That's the sound coming from the cave!" Hua Yang murmured, "Oh, right, I remember now! Do you still remember the day when we walked from the tunnel in the basement of Situ Mao Villa to the entrance of the fake mountain in the wetland park?"
Xing Lie raised his eyebrows and quickly understood what Hua Yang meant, "Are you saying that this cave leads to the wetland park over there?"
“That should be correct.”
"Let's go and take a look." Xing Lie stretched out his long legs, and soon they came to the entrance of the cave. However, there was nothing inside except a strong smell of grass.
"The roar of the cow just now clearly came from inside!"
"Don't be careless, I feel like there's something else in here."
Suddenly, a bright white light pierced into the dark cave, instantly illuminating the cave.
"This light! It's that three-eyed long-haired chimpanzee!" Hua Yang suddenly said excitedly, "This must be the exit!"
Xing Lie frowned and didn't say anything until he saw a sturdy cow not far away. It was pitch black, and the horns on its head were shaped like a crescent moon. This was a typical feature of a water buffalo, but the cow was full of aura and had a round mark on its forehead that faintly emitted lightning and half a flame.
"Let's go, let's leave here first!" Xing Lie felt a strong sense of oppression from the cow. Although Hua Yang also felt it, because Xing Lie was bearing the greatest oppression from the cow, she only felt a little bit of deterrence.
Hua Yang also knew that this cow must be no simple beast, so she lay obediently on Xing Lie's back without saying a word, and from time to time placed a water shield behind her to prevent the cow from suddenly rushing over to attack them.
However, Hua Yang's action once again triggered a fight between the cow in the cave and the three-eyed gorilla in the wetland park outside.
"Water. Good water."
"Hungry, baby is so hungry!"
"Moo~"
The three-eyed long-haired chimpanzee not only opened its third eye to attack everything in the cave, but also began to speak human language. While attacking, it patted its bulging belly. If you look closely, its expression looks a little pitiful.
It was obvious that one of them wanted to enter the cave, while the other was guarding the cave and not letting it in.
There was no difference between day and night inside the Eye of Underground Fire, but it was night outside the Eye of Underground Fire. Lu Zhen, with two confidants, quietly approached Saifuding's villa before dawn. The location of the basement in the villa was similar, not to mention that many people had gone to the basement of Saifuding Villa for water in the past two days. Lu Zhen and the two easily found the entrance to the secret passage in the basement.
"Captain, can't we wait two more days?"
"Idiot, if you wait any longer, what if the resources inside are used up by the Sefer Ding? We won't even be able to drink a bowl of soup by then."
The three of them walked for a long time, but they didn't see anything except darkness. But the more they walked, the more Lu Zhen felt that there must be treasures at the end of this passage.
So the three of them kept walking with their heads down. After walking for another ten minutes or so, they suddenly saw a faint light coming from the end of the road that was originally sloping upwards.
