Chapter 81 Green Island
This night was a night of tossing and turning and contradictions for the little loli, and even more so for Chu Qiao.
It rained all night outside. Although there was no rain inside the cave, it was extremely humid.
The salty and humid air carried the unique fishy smell of the coast, the coldness of the stones in the cave, and the coldness penetrated into Chu Qiao's body through the banana leaves. She felt a "whoosh" of cool wind in every pore of her body.
The can lamp ran out of oil in the middle of the night and went out.
Chu Qiao couldn't sleep all night.
Finally, the moment came when the pheasants crowed. Chu Qiao stood up and immediately rolled up his trouser legs.
Two small red bumps appeared where the snake bit me, but they did not turn blue or black, and everything was normal.
Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. It had been about nine hours since he was bitten. If he had been poisoned, the effects would have taken effect by now.
Chu Qiao stretched his arms and legs, and there was no sign of poisoning in his body.
This level is considered passed.
“A-choo——”
Chu Qiao rubbed her nose and grinned. To her, the fatigue and obvious cold symptoms on her body were not worth mentioning at all.
Chu Qiao instantly felt the joy of having survived a disaster. In order to reassure everyone not to worry, she quickly opened the live broadcast room.
Nearly 100,000 people were already impatiently waiting in front of the screen, greeting Chu Qiao with concern.
"Master Chu, it was closed so early yesterday. Are you okay?"
"I see Mr. Chu's face is red, which is not good."
Chu Qiao smiled and shook his head, and said jokingly, which was rare. "Everyone sees me so lively and energetic, do I look like someone with problems? It's just that I was a little cold last night, it's just a cold."
"Last night's fire has gone out. I am going to light it now, have a good meal, and then set out to cross the sea."
"Seeing Mr. Chu so energetic, I feel relieved."
"It was just yesterday. It was so scary."
Chu Qiao smiled and comforted everyone while preparing the fish. In less than half an hour, a bowl of hot fish soup was finished.
Chu Qiao broke out in a sweat, and the coldness in his body was forced out along with the sweat.
Chu Qiao jumped down from the stone, brushed off the dust on his body, his eyes full of energy.
She said: "In order to reduce the weight, I didn't bring anything that I didn't need to bring. I also emptied the cup. There will be a boat to pick us up, so there is no need to bring water or food."
After saying that, he strode towards the coast.
Python Island was as beautiful as ever in the early morning. Chu Qiao stood on the reef, looking out to the northeast sea, judging the wind direction.
The sea was very calm, and the sun cast a hint of red on the sea.
Chu Qiao nodded at the drone: "The weather is nice today, it looks like today will be smooth sailing."
After saying that, Chu Qiao took off his clothes and stuffed them into his bag, revealing his muscular body.
Walking towards the sea, the water gradually covered her calves, thighs and waist.
"Master Chu, we've all seen you do breaststroke. Show us your skills and try some other strokes."
"I want to take a screenshot."
Chicken Little: "Too bad it's not a swimsuit."
"Master Chu's figure will surely stun everyone in a bikini."
"That's it, I've started fantasizing."
Chu Qiao: "Everyone, please stop making fun of me. Forget about the swimsuit. I don't even want to get in the water unless it's absolutely necessary."
"As for the swimming style, it's not that I won't show you, but it's not suitable to use any other style to cross this sea."
"Butterfly stroke requires you to bury your head underwater, which I don't like very much. Backstroke needs to be done without waves, otherwise you'll easily choke on water. Freestyle is too tiring, and breaststroke is more relaxed and even though the form isn't pretty, it's practical."
Although he said this, Chu Qiao still fulfilled everyone's wish.
She lay on her back on the water, arms stretched out, making circular motions on both sides of her body, legs gently kicking the water in turn, with a comfortable expression, as if a mermaid swimming on the water.
"Screenshot, screenshot."
"Master Chu demonstrates the standard backstroke movements online."
Before anyone could take a screenshot, Chu Qiao suddenly turned around and dived into the sea. The waves were pushed away, and the fish fled in all directions. Chu Qiao's body floated on the surface of the sea, and he changed into the most suitable breaststroke style.
Chu Qiao's breathing frequency was not fast. Each time she kept her head underwater for a very long time. After completing the kicking, her body remained in a straight line to reduce resistance, allowing her to glide forward a farther distance with each breath and maintain her physical strength.
Everything went smoothly, and the drone flew with her all the way over the sea.
The journey is already halfway through.
"Master Chu seems to be taking his time, but his speed is astonishing."
"The World Swimming Competition needs Master Chu."
"Little Chicken is giving away a rocket live broadcast - I want to learn swimming from Master Chu, the kind that wears a swimsuit."
Brother Feng: "Get lost."
"Chen Ao gifted the anchor a rocket—is he too late?"
"Panda Panpan gifted the anchor a tank - why do I feel like it's almost over?"
Brother Feng returned with a treasure that was the most valuable asset in the two livestreaming rooms. He immediately said, "Sister Ao, Mr. Pan, you two are so busy with your business that you might have forgotten about our Master Chu. It's all over."
Panda Panpan: "Let's apologize in person next time we meet."
Chen Ao: “Add me one”
The unexpected harmony between Chen Ao and the panda Panpan made Feng Ge feel uncomfortable.
Without thinking much, a netizen suddenly spoke up in the barrage:
"Why isn't Mr. Chu moving?"
"Oh my god, what's that green thing?"
"It wasn't there just now, but it suddenly appeared."
“It looks like an island.”
"No, the green edge keeps moving."
The camera suddenly zoomed in, and everyone could see clearly that a large patch of green algae of varying shades had suddenly appeared on the sea. The algae gathered together, and from the sky, it looked like a green island.
This piece of seaweed seemed to have suddenly risen from the sea and surrounded Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao also noticed something was wrong. Suddenly, dense seaweed appeared in front of her eyes, blocking her vision and making it impossible for her to judge the area of the entire seaweed patch.
Chu Qiao tried to tread water with all his might, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move.
Generally, in deep water areas like this, seaweed grows deep on the seabed, and before Chu Qiao crossed the sea, he observed the sea surface and found no such large green area.
Could it be?
Chu Qiao thought of a passage from a book:
In some sea areas, almost all the ships and people who went there were wiped out. A search and rescue helicopter once hovered over the sea and found that the sea area was full of seaweed, but after reporting to the superiors, the seaweed had disappeared.
There are endless stories about ghosts and gods in that sea area.
Chu Qiao naturally didn't believe in ghosts or gods. She tried her best to keep her head above the sea, took a deep breath, and quickly calmed down.
Chu Qiao said calmly, "We're in some trouble now. This sea area is full of various algae. Sometimes these algae are above the water, and sometimes they're underwater."
"Once these plants get entangled in boats, their engines get caught in the seaweed, making it difficult to move forward. If they get entangled in people, they will be dragged into the sea by the descending seaweed and suffocate to death."
"What should we do then?"
"This is too dangerous."
"Is Master Chu beyond saving?"
Chu Qiao was not discouraged by netizens and continued: "I can't leave now, I'll dive down and take a look."
