So, Ye Ying subtly gave Ji Wuchen a wink.
Having worked together for so long, Ji Wuchen and Ye Ying had developed a strong tacit understanding, so he immediately understood the meaning in Ye Ying's eyes.
Suddenly, his swordsmanship changed, becoming increasingly fierce and ruthless, successfully drawing the attention of all the surrounding enemies.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Ying leaped to the side of the boulder. With all her might, she propelled the massive rock towards the enemy. The boulder rolled forward with unstoppable force, leaving the enemy no time to dodge, and they were smashed to pieces, falling to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen quickly broke through the encirclement... They nimbly jumped onto the enemy's ship. There were originally four or five guards on the ship, but under the two's fierce attack, these enemies had no chance to fight back and were easily knocked to the ground.
Ye Ying moved with lightning speed, kicking the enemy into the water in no time.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen continued to steer the ship forward! Everything happened so smoothly, as if it were effortless!
It truly proves the saying: "You can search high and low without finding it, but then it comes to you effortlessly!"
As the boat reached the middle of the river, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen discovered a small island ahead, like a green gem embedded in the river.
That small island, lush and verdant with shady trees, is as tranquil and mysterious as a paradise.
"Let's go to the island to take shelter for a while," Ye Ying suggested.
The two docked their boat at the shore and went ashore on the small island.
The island is lush with trees and green grass, and looks very quiet, like a secluded fairyland.
The air here is fresh, and the birds sing and the flowers bloom, making one feel relaxed and happy.
"This place should be relatively safe. Let's rest for a bit," Ji Wuchen said.
So the two found a place to sit down and prepare to recover some strength.
However, they didn't notice that deep in the woods, a pair of eyes were silently watching them, like hunters in the dark, waiting for their prey to approach...
Suddenly, with a "whoosh," an arrow shot towards Ji Wuchen like lightning!
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and dodged the attack by turning to the side.
Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen immediately looked around warily, and saw a figure emerge from the woods.
The newcomer was a young woman with a beautiful face, but her eyes were cold and indifferent, like a thousand-year-old ice.
Holding a bow and arrow, she was tall and slender, dressed in a black bodysuit, which made her look even more heroic and dashing.
Her steps were light yet steady, revealing a powerful confidence and strength.
The woman approached step by step, her eyes flashing with cold light, seemingly filled with hostility towards Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" The woman's voice was clear and pleasant, but there was a hint of wariness in her tone.
Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen exchanged a glance, silently pondering how to answer the question. They realized that the mysterious woman before them might know some secrets about the island, and honesty might be the best way to build trust.
So they recounted to the woman in detail their harrowing experience of being attacked by a giant python at sea and their fierce battle with the mysterious group of people.
The woman listened quietly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with thoughtfulness.
When the story was finished, a brief silence fell over the room.
