Chapter 12: The Getaway

Li Xue couldn't help but laugh: "I'll just treat you as if you were scared and confused, talking nonsense." ”

Zhang Yue was immediately unconvinced, and wanted to argue with her, but Ji Chen waved his hand at him and said, "Indeed, if God really created such a game, then I think God is really boring." ”

Ji Chen stood up and moved his body, feeling that his body was full of strength, he thought that this should be the gain for himself during the day.

A few people roughly cleaned up the surroundings, put out the fire, and then prepared to set off again, continuing to look for the exit of the secret island.

On the way, everyone picked up a wooden stick, because they really didn't have any other equipment except a dagger and a lighter, and the dagger had always been the exclusive property of Brother Kun, so the remaining few people could only use the wooden stick as a weapon.

After walking through the dense forest, they finally came to a vast meadow, overgrown with weeds and wildflowers, which seemed to be much safer than the previous forest.

Looking into the distance from the meadow, Ji Chen saw a continuous mountain peak in the distance. After discussion, it was decided to climb the mountain first and observe the topography of the island from the top of the highest mountain.

Although it takes a lot of time, it is considered to be the most stable and effective method, because if you just wander around like a fly without a head, you will probably waste more time, and you may not be able to find an exit.

There were three peaks in the distance, and the leftmost peak was the highest in the whole mountain, and the top of the mountain was about to pierce the clouds in the sky, so the short-term goal was to climb the leftmost mountain.

After establishing the goal, Ji Chen and the others immediately set off. In the meadow, several people were moving much faster than in the forest.

The environment here is actually very refreshing and pleasant, with endless savannahs, occasionally some bright and beautiful wildflowers dotted among them, and you can see the white clouds in the sky when you look up, and the fresh air makes people feel vibrant.

For a while, Ji Chen felt as if he was in the Inner Mongolia prairie, so quiet and peaceful.

Li Xue ran excitedly, and said happily: "I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful place here." ”

Everyone relaxed, it seems that no matter how dangerous the place is, there is still a pure land, Ji Chen thought to himself.

After traveling a few kilometers, Ji Chen found a super large lake, estimated to be about the size of four or five international football fields. The water is dark blue, but it is still extremely clear, the edge of the lake is very shallow, you can see a lot of stones and fine sand, and the center of the lake is unpredictable. The whole lake did not have the slightest ripples, like a blue mirror, calm and terrifying.

Several people had not washed their faces for several days, and they had lived like forest savages in the primeval forest for two days, and they all had an indescribable smell on their bodies, so they all ran to the lake to wash their faces.

Seeing the reflection in the water, Ji Chen realized that his current image was simply like a beggar, ragged, with a muddy face, if it weren't for a pair of glasses that could show that he was a modern person, in other respects, Ji Chen even felt that he was really similar to the savage in the newspaper.

A few people tested the water by the lake, and after making sure there was no problem, they simply washed it. Then I decided to take a break by the lake to recharge my batteries.

Ji Chen and the others were looking for a place to rest, but Li Xue and Zhang Lan offered to wash their bodies by the river.

Ji Chen scratched his head and said: "This lake is unfathomable, I don't know what monsters will be in it, and the water is still blue, what if something happens." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, Zhang Lan and I are both swimmers, and getting into the water is more skilled for us than eating, even if there are monsters, they may not be able to swim past us!" Li Xue patted her chest and said confidently.

Ji Chen also wanted to say that he was afraid of any danger or something, but Sun Jian smiled beside him and persuaded: "Forget it, girls love to be clean, let's be considerate of them and let them wash casually by the lake." ”

Ji Chen saw that Sun Jian had said so, so he couldn't say anything more, so he had to go with them.

Zhang Lan asked the other people to go to the side to rest first, and she was not allowed to peek, and she also specially emphasized that if anyone dared to peek, she promised to take his eyeballs off. When the boys heard this, they all walked away.

But in order to ensure the safety of the two of them, several people did not dare to go too far, so they found a place not far from their bath to sit and rest with their backs to them.

Ji Chen took out the leftover fruits and distributed them to everyone, talking about the route behind while eating. Brother Kun said: "I just went to explore the terrain and found that this lake is fed by a river, and the river should flow down from the opposite peak, so we only need to go against the river to reach the foothills on the opposite side. ”

Hearing this, Ji Chen seemed to think of something.

"No!", Ji Chen suddenly stood up, startling everyone. "I felt something was wrong just now, if this lake is fed by a river like Brother Kun said, then this is the only source of water for this place, and we haven't seen any signs of life along the way, don't you think it's strange?" Ji Chen said.

When everyone heard this, they all frowned.

"Do you mean ......?"

Before everyone finished speaking, they heard Zhang Lan and Li Xue let out a huge scream at the same time, and Ji Chen immediately ran towards the two.

But as soon as he ran over, the scene in front of him almost made him fall on his head. Zhang Lan and Li Xue were running towards him naked, Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, this was the first time he saw a woman's body in reality except for a small movie, he stood stupidly in place, not knowing what to do for a while.

Zhang Lan looked back at the center of the lake behind her while running in a panic, and was stunned for a moment when she turned her head to see Ji Chen, and then Ji Chen heard her let out a piercing cry: "Pervert!" Ji Chen reacted and quickly turned around.

As soon as he turned around, Li Xue ran to him with his clothes in his arms and squatted down to block his body with his clothes. Then Ji Chen heard a ** coming out behind him, he turned his back to the two and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Xue next to her shouted to Ji Chen: "Sister Zhang Lan has fallen, go and help her over!"

"But ......"

Li Xue immediately interrupted Ji Chen and said, "Stop talking nonsense, go quickly!"

Ji Chen heard Li Xue's tone was very eager, so he couldn't care so much, turned around and saw Zhang Lan lying on the edge of the lake with civilian clothes, Ji Chen looked into the lake, the center of the lake was constantly flooding with huge waves, like boiling water in a pot. Ji Chen hurriedly ran over and took off his short sleeves and put them on Zhang Lan's body, then picked her up and ran back.

Ji Chen's figure itself is very thin, so his short sleeves are not very big, and they are already in tatters, so they don't cover much on Zhang Lan's body. Her bumpy figure loomed under Ji Chen's short sleeves, but it became extremely attractive, Ji Chen felt the smooth and soft feeling coming from his hands, and couldn't help but blush.

Ji Chen shook his head and told himself, when did you still think about this, disciple!

He didn't dare to look into his arms, but ran forward desperately, and after running to the resting place, he put Zhang Lan down, and only then did he have the time to turn back to see the situation in the lake.

Brother Kun, Zhang Yue, and Sun Jian also stood up and looked at the lake vigilantly.

The waves in the lake grew larger and larger, and after a while, a huge blue vortex appeared in the middle of the lake, and the whirlpool grew larger and larger as time passed, and a large black channel formed in the center of the vortex leading to the bottom of the lake.

As everyone was retreating in fear, suddenly, a huge fish head emerged from it without warning and soared into the sky.

"What a big fish head!"

"Run!"

Everyone ran backwards incoherently. Only Ji Chen froze in place, frowning and staring at the monster that flew out of the lake.

When the monster completely flew into the air, Ji Chen saw its full picture.

This is a large black and white fish, with a flat head and a slightly pointed protruding mouth, like a dolphin. It's just that its body is hundreds of feet long, extremely large, and there is a golden wing on each side of the fin, yes, yes, it is a wing, because you can clearly see the golden feathers with a metallic luster and an invincible sharpness. In addition, its back is dark, but its belly is extremely white, and the whole thing looks like a Tai Chi pattern intertwined. It leapt out of the lake with huge sprays, like a tsunami, and emitted a deafening chirp from its mouth.

In a trance, Ji Chen felt that the big fish in front of him was more like a flying dragon.

The waves brought out by the big fish out of the lake spread out from the air and scattered around, like a small tsunami flood, and the aftermath rushed towards Ji Chen and the others like a waterfall.

Ji Chen struggled to get up from the ground and looked at the big fish in the air, only to see that the big fish intertwined in black and white jumped directly into the sky, and the cloud turned into gold in an instant and swallowed the big fish.

Then the golden clouds began to roll and intertwine with golden lightning, without the sound of thunder, but better than the power of thunder.

"What kind of monster is this?" asked Zhang Yue, who was beside Ji Chen, in a panic.

Ji Chen ignored him, still staring at the golden cloud with all his attention. It wasn't until after a while that the electric light in the clouds gradually weakened, and the golden clouds seemed to have a tendency to fade.

At this moment, suddenly a golden claw poked out of the clouds, and the golden claw had five claw fingers, like gold poured, shining with a sharp metallic luster. The moment the golden claws stretched out, the clouds near it were easily torn, and as the clouds dispersed, a big golden bird appeared above Xiao Han.

I saw that its whole body was shining with golden light, and it was incomparably powerful, and it stretched out all its wings, and it immediately covered the sky and the sun. Everyone felt that the whole world became dark in an instant, and before they could speak, they were frightened, when suddenly a gust of wind rose, and the wings of the golden-winged Dapeng bird shook and rose in the wind, soaring upward, and then cried to the sky after circling in the air with a proud attitude of looking at all things, and suddenly a sharp and loud voice pierced the sky.

This voice seemed to have a special power, which made Ji Chen a little dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, the Dapeng bird had spread its wings and rode away in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it had flown to the edge of the sky, and the sky was bright again.

The golden-winged Dapeng spread his wings and walked away, leaving a few people on the ground messy in the wind, the shock of this scene to several people was self-evident, Ji Chen's heart was pounding, and even a person with a calm personality like Brother Kun couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

"What kind of monster is this?!!It's incredible!" Zhang Yue asked again.

At this moment, there was still a small dot on the far side of the sky, and after half an hour, it finally disappeared.

Only then did Ji Chen turn around, he took a deep breath, and then said with a solemn expression: "This is the Kunpeng in "Getaway"!"

"But isn't that a fable? How could it really exist!" Zhang Lan asked again.

"I don't know, but this monster is indeed exactly the same as the Kunpeng described in Zhuang Zhou's "Getaway"!" Ji Chen said helplessly.

"Could it be that Zhuang Zhou has also been here?, this lake is the legendary Northern Hellsty Heavenly Pool?" Zhang Lan guessed by putting his index finger in his mouth.

"I don't know. Ji Chen shook his head and replied absentmindedly.

Ji Chen slowly turned around and sat down, and after a long time, he slowly calmed down his mood. The legendary Kunpeng turned out to be real, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it, did this indicate that this place was really a fairy island described in mythology?

Ji Chen swallowed his saliva and looked in the direction where the Dapeng had disappeared, and he couldn't help but start to re-examine his three views in his heart.

"Where exactly have we been?" Ji Chen muttered.
