under the sea

The temperature of the sea water at night is higher than that of the air, and the feeling of warmth comes from all directions of the sea water.

The flower branch was thrown into the sea by He Zexi, stretching his body in the sea water, his dry and water-deficient body gradually replenished the lost water, his body regained its vitality, and the gloomy light that had been dimmed was also brightened again.

But Huazhi was not happy.

He floated on the surface of the sea, staring straight at He Zexi who left mercilessly, his face darker than the night.

Ye Lin was drinking water, and what he scooped up from the water was the rainwater that fell at an unknown time, because it could not flow and accumulated in the small groove of the rock, because it had been too long, bugs had grown up, and the water smelled like water. It also smells a bit stinky.

Still, it's better than dying of thirst.After all, she has experienced more brutal and severe survival training, and this predicament is nothing to her now.Suddenly thinking of the nostalgic time, Ye Lin's originally lonely face suddenly showed a smile, and his eyes became gentle.

After drinking the water in the shell, Ye Lin's peeling lips finally got some moisture.She put down the shells in her hand and prepared to find something edible on the gravel beach by the sea.

There is no moon tonight, and the sky is very dark and overcast.

Ye Lin thought that it might rain tonight, and she probably had to find a drier place to spend the night, otherwise the night would be very cold.However, before the fire is extinguished by the rain, I have to bake something to fill my stomach.

I found some fire-resistant things and tied them to a wooden stick to make a small torch. Ye Lin lit the fire and stood up, and walked a few steps. Ye Lin saw a glowing thing in the dark offshore sea. She was surprised and walked away curiously. close.

The torch moved closer to the luminous object, and Ye Lin saw an extremely beautiful sea creature through the transparent sea water.

"A flame squid?"

Ye Lin couldn't help being a little surprised, after all, she was a woman, no matter how tough and calm she was, she couldn't help but like beautiful things. Her eyes lit up, and she squatted down to observe the flowers and branches for a while.

Huazhi's face was extremely stinky, and he really wanted to touch his wrist to drown this woman who was facing him in the sea, but when he thought of He Zexi's warning not to hurt anyone casually, he had no choice but to hold back his thoughts go back.

"Aren't you afraid of people? Why don't you run away?" Ye Lin whispered to himself.

When Hua Zhi heard this, she snorted coldly in disdain.

Heh... Not only is he not afraid of people, but he can kill a boatload of people in minutes!

Ye Lin also didn't do anything to the flower branch, after all, the flame squid is highly poisonous and cannot be eaten, and she was not willing to eat it, so she left after looking at it for a while.

Ye Lin has been hungry for a long time, and he spends his daytime collecting firewood and digging for fire, his body is very lack of energy now.

Because he was afraid of accidentally bumping into the highly poisonous squid he met in the water just now, in order to prevent himself from being poisoned, Ye Lin deliberately stayed away from where the flower branch was.

She found some mussel shells and oysters before the torches burned out, and cooked them in the fire.

……

...

He Zexi returned to the woods.

In the darkness, He Zexi held a wooden stick in one hand, and stepped on a piece of wood with a small hole in it with the other foot.Surrounding the hole was dry, flammable hay that he had collected nearby not long ago.

He Zexi pursed his lips, looked at the things in front of him resolutely, and took a deep breath.

Rub, rub hard!

After five minutes, there was no spark, not even the smell of smoke.

He Zexi threw away the stick in his hand, feeling a little defeated, and lay on the ground resignedly, staring at the sky with his eyes open.

He felt that Ye Lin was quite strong...

"Hee hee hee~~~~hahahaha~~~~~"

The swishing tree shadows swayed crazily in the darkness. While the tree shadows were swaying, a chilly wind blew through the forest, which was inexplicably a bit eerie.

He Zexi pretended not to hear the sudden voice, but had confirmed it with Hua Zhi earlier, this thing was just naughty and not dangerous.

He Zexi originally wanted to grab one to have a look, but it was moving too fast among the branches, and he couldn't catch it at all, so he had to give up.

Although he can see without light at night and doesn't feel cold, He Zexi, who refuses to admit defeat, still can't help but want to try drilling wood to make fire.

It's just that he tried several times, except for failure... He Zexi put his hands behind his head and thought about what he did wrong, why Ye Lin could light the fire but he couldn't.

"Crack~"

Suddenly a soft and furry thing fell from the tree and landed on He Zexi's chest.

He Zexi's train of thought was interrupted by the sudden situation. He was startled for a moment, then pulled out a hand to grab the thing, lifted it up and brought it in front of his eyes.

Green, fluffy, the size of a ball, no wings, ears and facial features are very small, buried under the thick fluff, except for a pair of pink and tender little paws that are jumping up and down in the air... two black eyeballs are round Liu Liu was staring at He Ze curiously.

He Zexi was stunned for a moment: "...face baby? Uh... small one?"

The green fur ball waved its paws, rolled its wet black eyeballs, then opened its small mouth, and yelled at He Zexi—"Hee hee hee~~~hahaha~~~~"

Good luck.

He Zexi's originally extremely depressed mood was comforted a little. He sat up with Little Mianying, and then took out a bag and a knife from his other intact pocket.

"Hee hee hee~~~~hahaha~~~~~"

The baby-faced struggled for a while, but couldn't get away from holding his hand like an iron tongs, so he stopped struggling and just yelled at He Zexi with his two little paws hanging down.

He Zexi had no expression on his face. While cutting off a handful of the baby's hair and putting it in the bag, he was thinking about what this so-called "face baby" was. Apart from its hair, could he find a way to take it with him? Bring it back whole.

Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the branches in the woods began to sway wildly. He Zexi raised his head, and a drop of rain fell on his face, making a soft "click".

Immediately afterwards, it began to rain heavily.

The rain was so powerful that even if He Zexi stayed in the woods with the lush leaves covering his head, he was still completely drenched in less than a minute.

The fluffy little face baby was also drenched by the rain, and the swollen fluff all over the body wetly stuck to the body, revealing its thin and real body shape.

It's raining……

"Boom--"

There was another burst of violent thunder.

He Zexi's heart was thumped violently by the thunder. The first reaction in his mind was a heavy thunderstorm, and the second reaction was——

run!run!run!Get out of the woods!

Immediately afterwards, another huge thunder ripped through the sky, and then, a blue-purple lightning that almost illuminated the entire world appeared in the sky.

He Zexi ran desperately towards the beach, and there was a loud bang behind him. He turned his head, and in the depths of the woods more than 50 meters away from him, an exceptionally tall tree was struck by lightning, and then fell to the ground. down.

Where the big tree fell, a faint red light appeared in the dark night.The red light became more and more intense, and after a while, He Zexi saw flames rising high in the middle of the forest.

In less than ten seconds, the fire spread completely, burning the entire highland forest in the center of the island, and some birds fled out of the forest and flew to other places.

The dark night was completely lit up, and the downpour could not drench the fire. The whole island was burning like a huge torch, which was particularly eye-catching in the vast ocean.

"Hee - hee, hee! Ha, ha ha -!!!"

A shrill cry came from the woods. It was the face babies who had been swallowed by the fire and had no time to escape. They had no wings and moved slowly on the ground. They had no way of surviving the fire.

He Zexi's face was pale, and his heart was about to jump out. He lowered his head, and the rainwater flowed down his wet forehead like hairline.

Looking at the little guy who was too scared to move his hand, He Zexi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear: "Today is the fate of both of us."

After He Zexi calmed down, he slowly raised his head, wanting to see how Ye Lin by the beach was doing.

However, when he looked towards Ye Lin, the scene that caught his eyes almost scared his heart out——

Ye Lin stood there in a daze, the fire at her feet had been doused by the heavy rain, her long hair was wet from the rain and stuck to her back, the rain splashed on Ye Lin's body and flowed down her skin.

Ye Lin stared forward in horror, her lips trembled uncontrollably, her face was as pale as a dead person.

In front of her was a huge monster more than 20 meters tall——

The whole body is bright red, with milky white light spots shining in the night, the shallow sea cannot cover the giant monster's long tentacles, it is trying to prop up its body in the shallow sea area, trying to "walk" ashore Come.

damn—

He Zexi cursed inwardly, and then ran in the direction of Hua Zhi and Ye Lin regardless of his legs that were a little sore from running just now.

"Flower branches—!"

He Zexi yelled, and rushed between Ye Lin and Huazhi, "Don't mess around!"

Huazhi's eyes were red, and he was staring at the burning forest. He tried hard to go there, but suddenly he heard a familiar voice in his ears.When he lowered his head, he saw the person he was worried about standing in front of him intact.

The joy of being lost and found filled the three hearts, Huazhi could no longer control himself, he stretched out his two tentacles, gently picked up He Zexi standing in front of him, and hugged him into his arms like a treasure , whispered: "Are you... all right? Great..."

Hua Zhi's body suddenly became smaller, and the reddish corners of his eyes were mixed with transparent liquid, whether it was rain or tears. He hugged He Zexi tightly with both hands, and his whole body was shaking.

Ye Lin's face became paler and paler, she desperately suppressed her desire to scream, and looked at He Zexi and that half-human thing that turned from a huge sea monster in horror.

——"You... no, you are not human..."
