Chapter 53: Struggle and Survival
The sea water rose extremely fast, and soon it rose to the surface of Tang Jie's feet, he hit the rock with both fists, the fists were almost broken, and blood was dripping down, but he still bombarded the rock face in front of him like he couldn't feel any pain at all.
"Don't fight, don't fight!" Lilith screamed as she covered her ears and endured the thunderous sound.
Tang Jie heard her voice and looked back, only to see that Lilith had been soaked in the seawater to her waist.
He didn't care about the grudge with her at this time, so he immediately pounced, pulled her to a higher place, pointed to a small depression that he had just bombarded wildly, and said, "Try it with your magic!"
Lilith shook her head desperately: "No, no, no, such a big movement will trigger the Star Dirok Magic Array again!"
Lilith was yelled at by Tang Jie, trembling and terrified to the extreme, but she knew that what Tang Jie said was reasonable, so she trembled and began to chant the incantation.
Although she was afraid, she did not make any mistake in chanting the incantation, and a fireball suddenly jumped out of her hand, blasting towards the depression in the rock face.
What Lilith didn't expect was that she and Tang Jie were standing too close, and the fireball exploded, and a powerful wave of qi suddenly shook them all backwards and fell into the water.
Tang Jie fell into the water, and immediately took a bite of salty and astringent seawater, choking dizzy.
He gritted his teeth and stepped on the ground to stand up, but when he straightened up with his feet, he found that the water had risen above his head!
This is quite a surprise!
Tang Jie hurriedly floated to the surface, took a breath, and glanced left and right, but he couldn't see Lilith's figure.
He buried his head in the water, only to see Lilith fall into the water and faint from the shock.
He just wanted to rush in and save her, but suddenly a sentence from old Barr flashed in his mind: Even if it is a lion, you must know when to give up.
What if we get her up and there isn't enough oxygen? Who knows where the water will rise? How long will it rise?
Moreover, she almost killed me several times, and killed old Barr, I can't kill her, and it is only natural that I don't save her at this time!
Tang Jie's mind saw the battle between heaven and man, and his eyes were uncertain.
However, the tide in front of me was caused by me, although she was not killed by my own hands, but she also died because of me!
Even if you want to take revenge, you can be above board, what is the matter with such a thing?
Tang Jie gritted his teeth, and a fierce man drilled down, quickly swam to Lilith's side, pulled her to his side, and then drilled out of the water again.
"Hey, wake up!" Tang Jie stepped on the water with his feet, holding Lilith with one hand and patting her cheek with the other.
Lilith sighed and woke up, she was stunned for a moment, glanced at Tang Jie who was holding her, and saw the rising water around her, and suddenly a scream, like an eight-legged fish, wrapped her hands and feet tightly around Tang Jie.
Tang Jie was so entangled by Lilith that he rolled his eyes, he reluctantly spoke, and said intermittently: "Let go, let go, I'm about to be strangled to death by you!"
Lilith was nervous and frightened at this time, where could she listen to his words, her hands and feet were wrapped around Tang Jie like vines, that is, she would not let go of anything.
Tang Jie was anxious and angry, and then slashed at the back of Lilith's neck, slashing her unconscious, and then pulled her off her body, swam to her side, and then gently hit her in the face with a palm, pinched her person, and woke her up.
Lilith woke up again, struggling, but heard a thunderous roar in her ear, which shook her.
"If you don't want to die, don't move!" Tang Jie's voice shook her eardrums so much that she almost wore them, and Lilith stiffened and didn't move.
"Don't hold me tightly, we're both going to die! Tang Jie paddled the water and asked.
Lilith shook her head with a look of horror and fear in her big blue eyes, a look of horror and horror.
Tang Jie sighed: "Treading water with two feet like me, understand?"
Lilith looked at him with teary eyes, "Like you?
Tang Jie choked: "You won't put your head into the water to see?"
Lilith is now afraid of water, where dare to get into the water, as soon as she heard Tang Jie's words, she immediately shook her head desperately.
Tang Jie's mouth was extremely bitter: "Have you ever seen a duck?
When Lilith heard this, she nodded quickly and began to kick her feet around.
Coincidentally, a strong foot was kicked between Tang Jie's legs......
Tang Jie's key point, that is, even the fierce Nia has never been hit, and now he actually let this little girl kick him, he is angry and angry, and he almost didn't hold his breath under the severe pain!
Although she didn't know what the place she was kicking meant to a man, she knew that it would be very unkind to kick her savior at this time.
She looked at Tang Jie timidly, her voice was as small as a mosquito, and she was aggrieved and sad: "You made me kick ......"
Tang Jie shrunk into a ball of pain, his legs were clamped, and only one hand paddled hard, he heard Lilith's words, the corners of his eyes twitched, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that she was harmless and pitiful, but her stomach was full of evil fire.
"Don't kick, I'll tread water......" Tang Jie clenched his fists and let go for a long time.
It was easy for him to wait for his pain to heal, and he was able to tread water with both feet, but he found that Lilith was nervous, as hard as a stone, like a jack drop, dragging his body into the water!
Tang Jie was very helpless: "Can't you relax a little? If you are so nervous, how can your body float up, it will kill us!"
Lilith said in a trembling voice, "Can I not be nervous? You see, the Star Dirok Magic Array is getting closer and closer to the outside, and if the water rises in a while, if we touch this magic array, we will be killed by the magic contained in this magic array!"
Tang Jie was startled, and hurriedly raised his head, and sure enough, the Star Diroke Magic Array was less than seven or eight meters away from them, and with the naked eye, he could clearly see the kyanite deeply embedded in the rock wall.
These kyanites are about the size of a thumb, embedded in the top of the cave one by one, each point emits a faint light, forming a huge magic array, and when you get closer, you can find that the surface of this magic array flows with a layer of faint light waves, like a protective shield to protect this powerful and ancient magic array.
Tang Jie couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the stone he started throwing.
"What should we do?" asked Tang Jie unconsciously.
Lilith didn't answer, just cried with a sad face: "I don't want to die......"
Tang Jie has always been an atheist, but at this juncture, he can't help but cram.
Almighty Titra, merciful and loving Tila, be merciful, let this tide recede quickly, if the tide does not recede, we will drown!
Lilith also prayed in a panic, begging the gods to appear.
But what made the two of them desperate was that the sea water kept rising, and it didn't take long for it to rise to a height of more than ten meters, and as soon as they stretched out their hands, they could touch the Xingdi Rok Magic Array!
Tang Jie's eyes widened as he looked at the rippling magic array in front of him, even he, a person who didn't understand magic and didn't have any magic induction, could feel this powerful and uncompromising force.
He had no doubt that once the sea pushed them onto this magic array, they would definitely be strangled to death by this magical force.
What to do?
Tang Jie felt like he was in a huge grinding plate, being pushed and pushed by a powerful force, grinding and crushing him little by little, and gradually being pushed into the far-reaching realm of death.
Tang Jie clenched his teeth, his eyes were as sharp as lightning as he scanned the surroundings, refusing to let go of any detail in this cave that would help him survive, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't do anything at all.
At the speed of the rising tide in front of them, it would take another minute or two at most for the sea water to fill the cave, and at that time, their only choice was to be hanged by the magic array, or drowned by the sea!
Which is the best way to die?
Lilith cried with tears on her face, "When Lilith heard that people were drowned, her whole body was like being burned by fire, her face was purple, and her whole body was swollen like a turnip, and it was ugly when she died, wasn't it?"
Tang Jie was sweating profusely, and said angrily: "How do I know, shut up!"
Lilith cried loudly: "Wow, Lilith really shouldn't have sneaked out alone!Teacher, Lilith is wrong, I don't want to die so ugly!"
This cry was piercing, which made Tang Jie more and more upset, he turned his head and said viciously to Lilith: "Shut up, shut up! I haven't been drowned yet, I'm almost killed by you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw several large bubbles suddenly emerge from the sea water beside Lilith.
Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, and said unconsciously: "Are you farting?"
Lilith was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth wide, and looked at Tang Jie dumbfounded, she quickly reacted, her little face turned red in an instant, and she didn't cry anymore, no matter how simple and innocent she was, she was still a girl. Lilith still understands the shyness of a woman's nature, and her face is full of shame: "You just farted! I didn't!!"
The great god of the sky, Raphael, is on top, this guy must be the most hated person in the world!
He, he actually framed me, said Lilith, fuck, fart!
It's so hateful, it's so nasty!!
Tang Jie glanced at her: "I didn't fart, where did the bubbles come from in this water?"
Lilith was embarrassed and angry, her fists clenched, and she beat Tang Jie hard: "No, no! I didn't! You framed Lilith!!"
Tang Jie grabbed her fist with one hand and said angrily: "People have stolen goods, do you still want to deny it?"
At this life-and-death juncture, the two of them actually fought!
Lilith bit her pink red lips and gritted her teeth and said, "No, no, no, you're a bad person, you're a bastard!"
Tang Jie laughed angrily: "Okay, good, I really didn't expect me to die with you, an unreasonable dead girl, it's really blind! Fart is fart, what's the big deal, who hasn't farted!"
As soon as the words fell, as if to prove what Tang Jie had just said, a bubble also bubbled up next to Tang Jie, as big as a football.
The bubble gurgled up, swelled, and then made a clear "pop" sound.
Although the sound was small, it was no less than a thunderbolt at this time.
Both of them froze at the bubble, as if petrified.
Lilith looked at Tang Jie with a sudden and resentful look, look, you framed me just now, obviously you were your own fart!
Tang Jie looked at Lilith's eyes, jumped in the water like a burning butt, and almost touched the magic array above his head, he said angrily: "It's not me! It's really not me!!"
Death is a small matter, a loss of discipline is a big thing, who put this fart, you must find out!
Tang Jie looked at Lilith angrily, and Lilith glared at Tang Jie without letting go.
Anyway, it was already certain death, and the two more powerful guys each rolled up their sleeves, ready to start a heated debate about their "chastity".
But Tang Jie was about to speak, but he suddenly saw a string of bubbles suddenly popping up on the water not far from them.
Huh? What's going on?
Seeing the situation in front of them, Tang Jie and Lilith glanced at each other, no matter how stupid they were, they knew that this bubble had nothing to do with them.
Tang Jie was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly moved, he immediately buried his head in the water, but saw that there were indeed some bubbles rising up at the bottom of the water.
Tang Jie was ecstatic, surfaced and grabbed Lilith's shoulder, laughing wildly: "There is salvation!
Lilith didn't come back to her senses, she looked at Tang Jie in surprise and joy: "What's the matter?
Tang Jie took Lilith's arm and said to her, "In a moment, you take a deep breath and dive with me!"
Lilith was shocked and shook her head desperately: "I don't want to dive!
Tang Jie said angrily: "Aren't you afraid of death?" He glanced up at the magic array that was close at hand, pulled Lilith without saying anything, took a deep breath, and then a fierce man took her down!
"Ahh
Tang Jie opened his eyes in the seawater, searching for the location of the bubbles, and paddled there with his hands and feet.
After paddling for a while, Tang Jie struggled to dive to the bottom of the water, and the pressure of the surrounding sea water made his face red, and the bruises on his forehead burst out, looking very scary.
If he was like that, let alone Lilith.
Where did this girl who grew up in an ivory tower suffer like this?
When she entered the water just now, she didn't breathe enough, and after diving, there was a little lack of oxygen, coupled with the pressure at the bottom of the water, her head was dizzy, and she couldn't support it anymore.
Lilith cried out in a low voice in her heart: "Great Yuna, look at this guy, what the hell is he going to do?
Of course, Tang Jie was not sent to death.
As soon as he dived to the bottom of the water, he immediately grabbed a boulder under the water with one hand, and his two legs were rooted in the ground under the water.
As soon as the stone was lifted, a bubble as large as a basin bubble emerged from the crack in the stone and ran quickly towards the water.
Tang Jie's eyes were quick, and he immediately leaned over, put his mouth into the bubble, and took a breath.
This breath was inhaled into his lungs, Tang Jie suddenly lifted his spirits, and pulled Lilith to the next stone.
In this rock-strewn ground, there are often gaps between the stones, and these gaps are filled with air, and once the sea water pours in, the water pressure squeezes the air out of the cracks, forming bubbles one after another.
Tang Jie had an idea, was bold, and survived in death, and it really worked on the spot!
Fortunately, the cracks of these stones are covered with moss, and this layer of moss is like a natural isolation membrane, isolating the water from the air in the stone crevices, once Tang Jie pulls away the stones, the air in the stone crevices will be squeezed out, becoming the precious oxygen for Tang Jie Lilith and their survival.
Lilith's eyes widened, looking at Tang Jie in disbelief, she couldn't figure out how this man knew that there was oxygen under the water that could allow them to survive?
At this life-and-death juncture, she has given up hope of survival, but how could this man think of this?
Tang Jie pulled away another stone, Lilith followed Tang Jie's example, leaned her head to the bubble, took a breath, and suddenly choked on her face purple, coughing in the water.
Inhaling in water like this, no one can control how much water they can inhale and how much oxygen they can inhale, so Tang Jie uses his mouth, even if he sucks water, just swallow it, although the sea water is bitter, it will not kill in the end.
But Lilith inhaled through her nose stupidly, and when she inhaled, the sea water and oxygen poured out of her nose and into her lungs, choking her very uncomfortably!
Lilith was already starved of oxygen, and the water poured into her lungs made it even worse, her little face was swollen, her eyes were white, and the corners of her mouth were foaming.
Tang Jie was startled, and immediately slapped Lilith on the back, forcing out the water poured into Lilith's lungs.
As soon as Lilith opened her mouth, the water choked in her body just came out of her nose and mouth, and Tang Jie covered her nose and mouth.
Tang Jie saw Lilith trembling violently, struggling with cramps in her hands and feet, obviously she was already deprived of oxygen to the extreme, and she was about to die.
He didn't dare to delay any longer, so he pulled another stone away, took a quick breath of his own, and then leaned over to Lilith's mouth, and sent it mouth to mouth.
After three breaths like this, Lilith slowly recovered.
When Tang Jie's fourth breath came, Lilith felt two hot and warm lips on her lips!
He's kissing me!
Lilith was shocked, her eyes were ashamed and angry, and she was about to struggle vigorously, but she saw Tang Jie glaring at her face to face, extremely domineering, his lips kissed Lilith's petite two red lips heavily, and then sent a breath into her mouth.
Lilith understood, was he saving me?
But why do you have to kiss people to save people?
The naïve Lilith's head was a mess, she only felt that she was weak in this man's strong and powerful arms, her body was soft, his eyes, his lips were like magic, tightly restraining her, making her unable to exert her strength.
She remembered what her teacher had once said to her: Men are beasts and want to eat you as soon as they meet!
Is he trying to eat me now?
Lilith thought unconsciously, but why am I being eaten, my heart is still beating so fast?
Ah, yes, I must be scared......
When he stares, it's so scary, how can people not be afraid?
Lilith was groggy and dazed, and she only felt that she was not under the water, but like she was in the clouds, fluttering all over.
How did Tang Jie know about this little girl's psychological crankiness, he could only take Lilith to hold her breath for a while at this time, and then moved from one stone to another, looking for new oxygen.
I don't know how long it took, when Tang Jie almost turned over the stones at the bottom of the water, he suddenly found that the pressure around the water had become significantly smaller.
The pressure in the water becomes smaller, which means one thing.
The water is getting shallower and the tide is receding!
Tang Jie couldn't help but be ecstatic, and hurriedly pulled Lilith to the surface of the sea, and when he looked at it, he was already five or six meters away from the top of the cave, and the water was slowly receding!
"Hahaha!" Tang Jie escaped death, patting the water with his hands like crazy, "Saved, saved!"
Lilith's eyes were misty, and she hadn't recovered from her confusion, but just muttered, "Saved? Saved?"
She secretly glanced at Tang Jie, who was laughing in ecstasy, looking at his masculine and handsome face, looking at the angular muscles on his body, her misty eyes couldn't stop wandering back and forth on Tang Jie's lips and arms, and her heart was beating like a drum.
Now that you're saved, you can't kiss anymore, right?
Thinking of this, Lilith actually felt a little lost.
She vaguely felt in her heart that it seemed that this guy was not so annoying and scary......
At this time, Tang Jie suddenly glanced at her, he found that this little girl was looking at him with a strange look, and he asked strangely, "What are you looking at?"
