Li Xiao quickly rushed to the edge of the ice pit and took off his fur clothes.
Thick fur clothes are a great way to keep warm at sea, but if they enter the water, the fur clothes wet with seawater will definitely be the main factor that accelerates Li Xiao's loss of temperature.
Moreover, the weight of soaked fur clothes will also increase, which is not conducive to Li Xiao's rescue.
There was no time to do any warm-up exercises, so Li Xiao kept running and jumped into the ice pit.
After entering the water, the biting cold instantly enveloped Li Xiao. The temperature of the ocean under the ice was almost close to zero!
The ocean is extremely deep. Looking down, on one side is the almost vertical coast of Ark Island, and on the other side is bottomless darkness.
The visibility within a dozen meters below the sea surface is very high. After entering the water, what you see is an unimaginably huge ocean beast!
It was the person who put Zhou Qing in danger—an adult-sized Basilosaurus whale!
The head of Basilosaurus is facing the sea, its tail is hanging down to the deep sea, and its tail fin is swinging slightly, so it is suspended vertically in the water.
It seems that it is storing oxygen, and then swims out of the ice sheet sea area in one puff.
The Basilosaurus blocked Li Xiao's view of looking for Zhou Qing. Li Xiao was about to swim around the Basilosaurus, but the Basilosaurus actively turned around and swam toward the bottomless sea.
As the Basilosaurus left, Li Xiao also managed to see Zhou Qing's figure under the ice.
Without saying a word, he swam towards Zhou Qing...
…
The Basilosaurus has left, and the churning water surface in the broken ice pit gradually subsided.
Li Xiao's head suddenly burst out of the water, gasping for breath, and then, with force of his arms, he pulled Zhou Qing, who was wearing fur clothes, out of the water.
Both of their faces turned pale due to the extremely low temperature of the sea water, and the cold water also kept taking away the warmth from their bodies.
If he didn't leave the cold sea water quickly, not to mention Zhou Qing, even Li Xiao would die here.
Although the ice layer is five or six meters high, a large amount of ice blocks poured into the water. The water level in the ice pit has risen a lot, and it is only one or two meters away from the ice surface.
Li Xiao took out the hook, swung it several times, and successfully fixed the hook to the ice.
Then, carrying the unconscious Zhou Qing on his back, he climbed up the ice little by little.
After climbing up the ice, Li Xiao took a few breaths and put Zhou Qing down on his back. Then, he quickly took off Zhou Qing's clothes.
Of course, I'm not trying to be a hooligan, but Zhou Qing's clothes were completely soaked with water. In such a low temperature of the ice field, if he didn't take them off quickly, his clothes and people might freeze into a popsicle!
Severe hypothermia had completely blurred Zhou Qing's consciousness. Her face was as white as wax, so pale that there was no trace of blood. Although she was still breathing, her breathing was already quite weak.
Li Xiao took off her fur clothes and then her soaked coarse cloth clothes, leaving only a coarse cloth for Zhou Qing to wrap her chest.
Li Xiao pulled open his clothes, hugged Zhou Qing into his arms, and let her chin rest on his shoulder.
Then, Li Xiao's hands rubbed Zhou Qing's back desperately.
"Don't sleep! Don't sleep! If you fall asleep, you will die! It won't be cold! It won't be cold soon!"
After hugging Zhou Qing and standing up, Li Xiao held her arms and quickly did various warm-up exercises on the spot.
The cold wind howled, and the wet water droplets on Li Xiao's body instantly condensed with drops of frost. Even his hair was covered with ice.
Li Xiao's soaked coarse trousers also froze into hard ice under the cold wind.
Rubbing Zhou Qing's body hard, he felt that his palms were about to be worn out.
Fortunately, his series of work was not in vain. Zhou Qing's cold body in his arms gradually gained a touch of warmth under Li Xiao's hot chest.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Li Xiao picked up Princess Zhou Qing, stepped on the metal prosthesis, and limped toward the coast...
…
At night, the cold wind howled, and a sheltered place on the northwest ice sheet coast was illuminated by the faint light of a bonfire.
Li Xiao had already changed into dry animal skin clothes, and beside him, Zhou Qing, who was covered with a thick animal skin quilt, gradually opened his eyes.
"Ahem... you're awake, come and have a bowl of hot soup, ahem..."
Li Xiao coughed and took a bowl of soup from the iron pot on the campfire and handed it to Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing sat up against the rock wall, but found that she had no clothes on. She didn't look shy at all. She naturally put the animal skin quilt on her body to block her naked body.
Taking the hot soup from Li Xiao, she asked without raising her head: "What's wrong with you? Why are you coughing?"
Li Xiao looked up at Zhou Qing and blushed - Zhou Qing's long, wet hair fell down on the side of her head, blocking the upper half of her delicate face. Coupled with the looming white skin under the quilt, she was full of charm.
The feeling came over me.
"It's nothing. I didn't have time to change clothes when I got ashore, so I caught some wind and cold. I suffocated myself with the quilt at night and sweated a little and it was fine. Cough cough cough..." Li Xiao put away the distracting thoughts in his heart and explained.
"Oh." Zhou Qing didn't ask any more questions, just swallowing the broth in small sips.
The bowl of broth was quickly consumed. Zhou Qing put the empty bowl aside and stared blankly at the flickering light of the campfire.
"How many times have you saved me?" Zhou Qing spoke again.
A familiar scene.
Li Xiao shook his head, looked at Zhou Qing, and smiled: "Why do you ask this question every time? Does it matter? There are only two of us in this world. If I don't save you, then who should I save?"
Li Xiao picked up a wooden stick and fiddled with the bonfire, and continued:
"Don't think you owe me anything. We are both poor people. I help you and you help me. Only in this way can we survive in this dangerous world. After all, apart from you, I have no one else who can depend on me."
Already."
"Well..." Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully when he heard Li Xiao's words.
"Okay, go to sleep, we have to catch mammoths tomorrow..."
Li Xiao filled some more fuel into the bonfire and then took the lead in lying down on his animal skin sleeping bag.
With the bonfire and the thick animal skin quilt, the cold of the northwest ice field was blocked from the depression in the rock wall.
Li Xiao turned his back to Zhou Qing, staring at the stone wall in front of him, but his mind was filled with the scene just now.
How come this guy Zhou Qing makes him feel more and more feminine? Isn't she a female man and a female bandit?
It seems that her voice has become much gentler recently...
Li Xiao suddenly remembered the scene when she broke the bridge of his nose and quickly shook his head.
illusion!
Absolutely an illusion!
Just as he was thinking wildly, the animal skin quilt was lifted, and a delicate body full of elasticity got in and pressed tightly against Li Xiao's back.
"Zhou Yi, why did you run into my quilt again?" Li Xiao's body stiffened a little.
"No, I'm not Zhou Yi, I'm Zhou Qing."
"Um???"
Li Xiao turned around and saw that Zhou Qing's face was only half a palm away from his own.
They were so close that their breath could hit each other in the face.
Looking closely, the woman in front of her had a blush on her face, but her eyes were still firm, and her expression did not have Zhou Yi's heart-warming smile.
It is indeed Zhou Qing’s fault!
"Zhou Qing...what...are you doing?" Li Xiao was shocked.
"I said, I will repay you!" Zhou Qing's arms hugged Li Xiao tightly.
At this time, Li Xiao discovered that Zhou Qing had even lost the bra wrap on her chest. At this moment, she was not wearing a piece of clothing.
Their bodies were so close to each other that both of them could clearly feel each other's intense heartbeat.
Before Li Xiao could understand Zhou Qing's meaning of "repaying", a pair of fiery lips had already pressed tightly against his mouth.
If Li Xiao still doesn't understand Zhou Qing's meaning, he has become a man in vain.
The next second, Li Xiao responded enthusiastically.
The cold wind of the ice field was still howling, and except for the obelisk tower on the snow-capped mountains that glowed blue, other places in the northwest were plunged into the endless darkness of the night.
But in the nooks and crannies of the coast, the light of the bonfire is getting brighter and brighter.
