Chen Jie and Xiao Bai looked over at the same time, and their hearts suddenly sank.
"Why...why are there so many lions?"
Xiao Baihe was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he had just escaped the group of Komodo dragons and now encountered a pride of lions.
What kind of bad luck did they get?
Or did you go out without reading the almanac?
thump
A burst of water splashed up, attracting everyone's attention. The three people turned around at the same time and saw a Komodo dragon falling from the waterfall and falling into the water.
"Oops, we have to get out of here quickly..." Xiao Baihe said nervously, thinking of the fear of being submerged in the water just now.
Now there are lions in front of us and Komodo dragons behind us. For a while, it was really difficult to get off the mountain.
Two huge water splashes appeared, and Chen Jie's face darkened as he watched the Komodo dragon fall.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
Xiao Baihe panicked, not knowing what to do at all, so she could only look at Chen Jie.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Chen Jie said calmly, comforting Lily Xiao.
Xiao Baihe nodded and placed all his hopes on Chen Jie.
"Water route, we can only take the water route to avoid these Komodo dragons."
Chen Jie saw that there were about twenty or thirty lions on the shore. Going up to them would be tantamount to death.
There are Komodo dragons behind, so only water is the safest.
"You want to go underwater?"
Mao'er knew Chen Jie's character very well and thought that Chen Jie was going to take everyone to take a detour from the water.
"Let's go under the water and go behind the Komodo dragon and behind the waterfall. There are rocks over there. We can rest on them for a while and conserve our energy."
Chen Jie made a quick judgment.
"Okay, let's walk under the water."
Mao'er didn't think it mattered, and listened to Chen Jie in everything.
"Lily, don't be afraid. Cat and I will pull you together this time. You just need to take a deep breath. If you can't hold it back, just tug on my arm, okay?"
Chen Jie said gently, not wanting to scare Lily Xiao.
"Captain, I can."
Xiao Baihe nodded. Seeing Chen Jie treating her so tenderly, Xiao Baihe's psychology melted a little more.
"Without further ado, let's leave now."
Chen Jie felt relieved when he saw Xiao Baihe agreeing to him. He was really afraid that Xiao Baihe would cast a shadow.
"Okay, I'll count to one, two, three, and let's take a deep breath together."
Mao'er nodded and looked at Xiao Baihe and Chen Jie.
The three of them took a deep breath at the same time and dived underwater.
Xiao Baihe reached out and grabbed Mao'er and Chen Jie tightly. She was not as scared as before, and her expression became much more relaxed.
Watching all kinds of fish swimming around him, Xiao Lily felt that the underwater world was so wonderful.
It seems that she can practice diving more in the future, and she won't have to drag down Chen Jie and Mao'er in the future.
While thinking, Chen Jie and Mao'er swam far away with Xiao Baihe.
Chen Jie clearly saw the Komodo dragon floating on the water. Chen Jie immediately quickened his pace and rushed toward the waterfall with Mao Er and Lily.
Xiao Baihe couldn't stand it any longer, so she stretched out her hand and pulled Chen Jie's arm.
Chen Jie understood immediately and pulled Xiao Baihe to swim towards the water.
Coming out of the water, Xiao Baihe breathed in the fresh air greedily, like a stranded goldfish.
"Quick, the Komodo dragon is chasing us. We must get down as soon as possible."
Chen Jie said anxiously.
"Okay, I'm ready."
Xiao Baihe saw this and knew that the situation was urgent. He quickly took a deep breath and was pulled into the water by Chen Jie again.
This time, Chen Jie was very fast. He directly pulled the two girls around the waterfall, feeling the huge impact from above, which showed the power of the waterfall.
"Phew, I'm almost suffocating..." Xiao Baihe gasped for air. These two waves of diving really made her feel suffocated.
"Is everything okay?"
Chen Jie looked at Xiao Baihe nervously.
"It's okay, Captain, I'm fine."
Xiao Baihe quickly shook his head and grinned at Chen Jie.
"It's okay. We are safe for now, but we are trapped here. I hope these lions can leave soon."
Chen Jie was even more worried.
Even though it is safe for the time being, leaving here is still difficult.
"Chen Jie, did you notice the movement under the water just now?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie excitedly.
"I saw it, but I can't go."
Chen Jie frowned and looked at Mao'er. He actually admired Mao's adventurous spirit.
But now that there is Xiao Baihe, Chen Jie is a little worried about Xiao Baihe's physical condition if he deliberately takes the risk of going into the water.
"Okay, I do think there might be a way out over there."
Cat said with an indifferent expression.
She didn't care about these lions and Komodo dragons anyway.
"Captain, if there is a way to go, you and Mao'er can go and have a look. I'll just stay here."
Xiao Baihe could feel that Chen Jie was worried about him, so he gave thoughtful suggestions.
"No, let's go up first and talk about it later."
Chen Jie took Xiao Baihe's arm and walked towards the stone.
Xiao Baihe glanced at Mao'er nervously. She didn't want Mao'er to quarrel with Chen Jie because of her own reasons.
The cat didn't think it mattered and swam in the direction of Chen Jie.
Chen Jie dragged Xiao Baihe's body and asked Xiao Baihe to climb up on the stone, then asked the cat to climb up, and finally Chen Jie climbed up.
"Huh, it really feels like a water curtain cave."
The cat sat on the stone and looked at the waterfall in front of him.
"Captain, there is a way to get out of here underwater! I think you can give it a try."
Xiao Baihe has not forgotten what Mao'er said before, and tries hard to help Mao'er persuade Chen Jie.
"Lily..." Chen Jie frowned. There was indeed a dark and deep cave under the underwater waterfall just now. Due to his limited vision, Chen Jie could only see a pitch-black cave.
"This desert island is on the sea, but the water here is fresh water. Don't you think it's a little strange?"
Mao'er looked at Chen Jie. She really wanted to visit that cave, so she thought it was an adventure.
"Cat, you really want to go?"
Chen Jie saw the expectation in Mao'er's eyes, but he was worried about leaving Xiao Baihe here alone.
After all, this place is very complicated, and I don’t know where so many animals come from.
"It's okay, I just feel bored. We can't just wait here to die."
Mao'er shrugged his shoulders and pretended to be relaxed, but in fact, he was already feeling itchy.
"Captain, you go with Mao'er! I'll wait for you here."
Xiao Baihe reached out and pushed Chen Jie's arm, acting coquettishly towards Chen Jie.
"Lily, I'm not worried about you being here alone."
Chen Jie said helplessly, also wanting to reassure Xiao Baihe that he would not leave her here alone.
