Follow the army to the island, the rebellious male protagonist was led by me to counterattack

Chapter 8 Holding your breath
Shi Xia's words did not make Wen Cheng'an feel that it was a great opportunity. Instead, his hair stood on end and he looked at Shi Xia warily under the moonlight.

"Don't try that! I won't be fooled."

She must be thinking of different ways to beat him up.

Wen Cheng'an raised his eyebrows, looking very dissatisfied and indignant, with an attitude of "I won't be fooled".

Shi Xia looked at Wen Chengan, who always couldn't stand up straight with his hands in his pockets, and said with a little regret: "Well... I wanted to let you choose the content, since you don't--"

"Wait a minute!"

Wen Chengan took his hands out of his pockets and stared at Shi Xia.

"I choose the content?"

"Aren't you unwilling?"

Shi Xia asked back, and Wen Cheng'an was about to get angry again, but in order to avoid being beaten, he pretended to clear his throat.

"I'm a grown man, and I don't want you to lose too badly."

"Now that you've said it, I won't be a coward either. Let's compete...in holding our breath!"

"How about it?"

Shi Xia took a step forward, and Wen Cheng'an took a step back cautiously.

"what are you doing?"

A smile flashed in Shi Xia's eyes while he was hiding in the shadows, but his mouth showed dissatisfaction and a hint of regret.

"Holding your breath?"

Wen Cheng'an felt that he had grasped the key to victory, and said with a bit of natural arrogance: "That's right, do you dare?"

Shi Xia was silent for a minute.

"Okay, but what if you win? What if you lose?"

"I won, you are not allowed to beat me again, I lost... hehe..."

Wen Chengan couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was simply impossible.

"If I lose, I'll let you do whatever you want."

Wen Chengan said this in a very pretentious manner and looked at Shi Xia. The next second, he heard Shi Xia's loud voice reply: "Okay!"

Wen Cheng'an: Didn't she agree a little too quickly?
Could this be another trap?
No, he is really gifted in holding his breath and has never lost.

Wen Cheng'an comforted himself that Shi Xia was not the kind of person who would waste time.

Today was the third time she dealt with Wen Chengan, and it was at the place where he was best.

After cleaning up, he should behave himself.

The two entered the water in the dark night, and after Shi Xia shouted "start", they dived separately.

Time passes little by little.

Shi Xia did not use his special abilities at the beginning, but simply relied on his body to adapt and train his physique.

When she reached the critical value, she activated her supernatural power. After her body relaxed, she used her supernatural power to sense Wen Cheng'an who was a few meters away from her.

At this time, Wen Cheng'an was trying hard to look in Shi Xia's direction.

A rope was tied between Shi Xia and him. As long as one of them went out of the sea or the rope was untied, the other one could feel it.

In the dark sea, there is silence and fear.

Wen Cheng'an could vaguely see a shadow, motionless. He was surprised and a little worried.

Is Shi Xia going to be okay?
He pulled the rope three times, which was the signal they agreed on to check if the other person was safe.

After Shi Xia felt Wen Cheng'an pulling, he responded three times quickly.

Although Wen Cheng'an has a bad mouth, he has a good heart.

This was Shi Xia's conclusion after two days of observation.

Wen Cheng'an on the other side was surprised when he felt the pull.

At least five minutes have passed. Not many people can hold their breath to this extent.

Seven minutes later, Wen Cheng'an confirmed Shi Xia's safety again. Shi Xia checked the seabed for seafood while pulling the rope to reply.

Next, every ten seconds or so, Shi Xia could feel the rope around his waist pulling.

Nine minutes later, Shi Xia felt the rope in his hand suddenly pulled upwards, and Wen Cheng'an went out.

Shi Xia had no choice but to retract his supernatural powers and float up along the rope.

With a splash, Wen Cheng'an rushed out of the sea and pulled the rope immediately.

"Tokika!"

"Tokika!"

Wen Cheng'an shouted, in fact he could still hold on for another minute, but he was afraid that Shi Xia would hurt himself in the fight to win.

Shi Xia emerged from the sea with a splash and looked at Wen Chengan not far away in the moonlight.

"Stop shouting."

If he shouted again, the whole village would hear him. When Wen Cheng'an heard Shi Xia's voice, the worried words on his lips turned into a hesitant tone.

"Hey—what's seven plus eight?"

Shi Xia thought and smiled.

Are you suspecting that her brain is damaged?

"Don't test me with questions you don't know."

As soon as Shi Xia opened her mouth, Wen Cheng'an knew she was fine.

"Stupid as hell."

After Wen Cheng'an had a good time talking, he pulled the rope ashore.

Shi Xia untied the rope around his waist and shouted, "Warm yourself up and run. I'm going down to get some seafood."

Wen Cheng'an turned around halfway through swimming.

"You are crazy!"

"Who goes fishing in the sea at night?"

Shi Xia turned over and said, "Someone who is short of money."

With a splash, Shi Xia disappeared below the sea level.

Wen Cheng'an stared at the surging sea surface with gritted teeth and cursed again.

“Oh… damn it!”

Wen Cheng'an finally climbed ashore and casually began to do warm-up exercises.

The rhythm of counting eight beats was replaced by counting.

When Wen Cheng'an counted to five hundred and sixty, he strode into the sea.

It was at this time that Shi Xia came up.

Wen Cheng'an stopped and continued warming up, pretending nothing had happened.

After Shi Xia reached the shore, she put the abalone in the net bag into the bucket she brought.

After putting it away, he glanced at the "serious" Wen Cheng'an.

"Master Wen really kept his promise. Keep going, I'll go down again."

"I forgot to tell you, I'm also gifted. I can hold my breath for more than ten minutes easily."

After saying this, Shi Xia smiled and walked into the sea again.

Wen Chengan, who was warming up on the shore, kicked the sand away.

"I'm worried about you!"

"More than ten minutes? Damn Shi Xia, you set me up again!"

Wen Cheng'an was so angry at Shi Xia that he gritted his teeth again.

He could obviously leave while Shi Xia was away, but for the sake of face or to accept defeat, he just ran seriously on the shore alone.

Wen Cheng'an ran while muttering.

"I just don't believe it. If I can't beat you now, I won't be able to beat you in the future!"

With this momentum, Wen Cheng'an counted silently again. When he counted to seven or eight hundred, he looked towards the sea.

Until I saw Shi Xia coming up.

"One more minute! Are you a reincarnated fish?"

"Damn it, I won't believe anything you say from now on!"

"fraud!"

Wen Cheng'an went from cursing to being speechless. He was really too tired from running.

At the same time, Shi Xia at the bottom of the sea is also counting time. The time cannot be too long. It is okay if he is gifted, but it is not good if he is too scary.

She found a reef on the seabed, densely packed with large abalone and sea urchins.

She used a fork to pull the sea urchins off, but she needed to find the right time and twist the abalone to get it off because the suction was too strong.

By the way, she also found a flying crab lying in the sand.

Shi Xia went up and down several times, and each time he came back empty-handed.

An hour and a half later, she finally came out of the sea, changed into dry clothes behind the reef, and waved to Wen Cheng'an who was almost dying of running.

"Come on, I'll teach you how to fight."

Wen Chengan gasped for breath, took a few deep breaths and said, "Come on, come on, you just want to beat me up."

Shi Xia said without denying it: "The first thing to do to learn how to fight is to learn how to be beaten."

After saying this, Shi Xia's ears moved slightly, and the next second he pulled Wen Cheng'an and covered his mouth, hiding behind the reef.

"Someone."
