Chapter 100: Escaping the Shark

Not long after setting sail, they encountered waves. Fortunately, Jiang Yifan had managed to turn the boat in time, allowing them to narrowly escape. Before they could even sigh in relief, the little phoenix suddenly cried out.

Radiant Sun was the first to look over. “Our boat has a leak.”

It turned out that they had managed to dodge the storm, but after forcefully changing directions, the boat couldn’t take the impact and resulted in a crack.

If this continued, any small wave would capsize their boat.

Xia Muqing said in a low voice, “Let’s continue.”

Jiang Yifan could only continue steering the boat. The others found some items to cover the crack in the boat. At the very least, there was no longer any water seeping in.

Fortunately, the sea was calm at this time. After sailing for a while, they saw the first island.

Jiang Yifan said, “Look, the first island is right ahead. We just have to pass through three islands to reach the Island of Soro.”

Just as he finished speaking, a wave attacked them again.

The little phoenix was so frightened that it flew around on the boat and was grabbed by Radiant Sun.

Xia Muqing and Radiant Sun exchanged glances before the boat was swallowed by the waves.

Other than Radiant Sun and the little phoenix who could fly, the three of them fell into the sea. Fortunately, they could swim and could float for a period of time. Jin Chao quickly grabbed Xia Muqing’s arm and Jiang Yifan was grabbed by the Radiant Sun.

They had discussed this before. If they encountered any danger, they were to save Jiang Yifan first.

Xia Muqing and Xia Muqing quickly swam towards them.

The little phoenix looked behind them in horror and shouted, “Flower!”

Before Xia Muqing could turn around, the two of them were sent flying by an even larger wave. When the surface of the sea calmed down, they were already gone.

The little phoenix flew towards the direction they disappeared, but its wings were wet and it almost fell into the sea. Fortunately, the Radiant Sun hurriedly flew over and caught it.

Radiant Sun brought the human and bird back to the nearest island. This plan was also what they had discussed previously. If they were to lose each other, they would gather at a nearby island.

The fierce waves swept Xia Muqing and Jin Chao away. But even so, Jin Chao didn’t let go of her hand.

Finally, the waves calmed down. Jin Chao asked anxiously, “Are you okay?”

Xia Muqing looked at the blood floating in the sea around her and she quickly raised her hand. The arm that Jin Chao had held on to was already bright red. Her injury was caused by the waves earlier on.

She felt a little conflicted. What did she want to say? It wasn’t a very appropriate situation.

Jin Chao didn’t take her injury seriously. He looked around and said, “We’re already very far away from that island. This should be the second island.”

The waves happened to bring them to the second island.

Xia Muqing nodded. The two of them could only swim towards the island.

However, trouble never came alone. A shark had targeted them.

The ten-meter-long shark approached slowly. Only when it raised its head and opened its mouth to charge at the two of them, did they realize its existence.

Xia Muqing quickly extended her leg and kicked the shark’s head. The two of them avoided the calamity but in the water, humans didn’t have the advantage. They could only swim towards the island with all their might.

The food that was about to reach the shark’s mouth had escaped. The shark became frustrated and rushed over at a faster speed.

Xia Muqing and Jin Chao also increased their speed. They were about to reach the island. Once they got ashore, the shark would no longer be a threat.

However, the suction force behind them made them despair. The water around them was sucked towards the shark’s mouth, and the small fishes and prawns around them were also swallowed by it.

The shark wasn’t satisfied. It wanted the two humans.

No matter how hard the two of them tried, the distance between them and the shark shrank. Soon, they were almost at its mouth.

The shark opened its mouth again greedily, revealing long pointed teeth.
