Ke Xue exorcists demons and starts with immobilization

Looking at Xiaolan, she doesn't seem to be struggling too much; she should be able to keep up without any problems.

Sonoko was already panting.

After all, Sonoko is just an ordinary person. It would be tiring enough for her to keep up with him and Ran's speed in twenty minutes.

"Garden, come here~"

Chu Zhongchao beckoned to Yuanzi, gesturing for her to lie on his back.

"But……"

Yuanzi hesitated.

"It's alright." Chu Zhongyou approached, gently hugged Yuanzi, pressed his forehead against hers, their eyes met, and he said softly, "Trust me, I can do it."

He has unlimited stamina; carrying the garden around is just a bit slower, but it's not a problem at all.

The confidence in his heart was successfully conveyed to Sonoko.

"OK then……"

Sonoko nestled obediently against Chu Zhong's back, wrapping her arms around his waist, and warned, "Don't push yourself if you get tired!"

Chu Zhong nodded and continued swimming towards the beach, the exact distance of which was unknown.

Beside her, Ran Mouri, who was continuing to swim, caught Sonoko's gaze as she leaned against his back.

The two best friends exchanged a glance and nodded silently and tacitly, their resolve seemingly strengthened.

Half an hour later.

"call--"

Ran Mouri was already out of breath from exhaustion.

The distant beach, however, remained only the size of a mung bean, which only added to the sense of despair.

If it weren't for the mountain cliffs as a reference, the three of them would have looked like they were walking in place in the sea.

The weather at the seaside is unpredictable.

Over the course of the past half hour, the sea breeze gradually picked up, causing waves to surge in one after another, which further reduced the swimming speed of the three swimmers.

Large, dark clouds that were blocking out the sun were moving in this direction, and it looked like it was going to rain.

"There seems to be a cave over there. Let's hide there for a while."

Along the way, the garden was constantly looking for a place to rest, and finally found one after going around a protruding hill.

Having said that, Yuanzi left Chu Zhong's back and swam ahead to lead the way.

A storm was brewing, and staying at sea was extremely dangerous.

Chu Zhong and Ran Mouri immediately followed Sonoko and swam off together.

Fortunately, Sonoko was right; she did indeed find a cave... or more accurately, a small cave on a cliff.

Over time, the rock walls have been eroded and corroded by seawater, and occasionally rocks fall into the sea, creating holes of varying sizes.

After swimming for nearly an hour, this 'small cave' was arguably the largest.

The small cave is about one meter above the sea surface.

To fend off the waves that kept crashing against the rock face, Chu Zhong first tied his and Yuanzi's T-shirts together to make a rope.

Lifting Ran in the water, letting her climb up the cave with the rope, then having Sonoko grab the lowered rope, and having the strongest Ran pull her up into the cave.

Finally, there is Chu Zhong.

The small cave resembles an egg cut in half vertically, with a depth of only one meter, barely enough to accommodate three people.

Stepping onto solid ground again, my heart, which had been adrift in the sea, felt much more at ease.

"It's so cold..."

Yuanzi hugged her arms tightly and snuggled closer to Chu Zhong.

Their clothes were already soaked through with seawater, and with the sea breeze blowing, their body temperature dropped rapidly...

Chapter 151 Best Friends United in Force

Having just left the sea, they now face the risk of hypothermia.

To be precise, the three of them had been in the seawater for nearly an hour, and their body temperatures were already somewhat unstable.

Chu Zhong and Xiao Lan maintained their core temperature by constantly swimming.

On the contrary, those who didn't need to visit the garden themselves had lower body temperatures than the two of them, and the cold they felt was more pronounced at that moment.

Chu Zhong also felt a chill, but this small cave faced the sea directly and had no shelter from the wind. He had no choice but to turn his back to the sea and use his body to shield Xiao Lan and Yuan Zi from the wind.

But this is not a long-term solution.

"Take off your wet clothes first; wearing them will only make you colder."

Chu Zhong tried to come up with a solution while offering reminders.

Ran and Sonoko immediately did as instructed, removing their clothes, which were already soaked and stuck to their bodies.

After wringing out the water, use the clothes as towels to wipe the moisture off your body, and finally pile the clothes on the other side of the small cave.

The three of them were already quite familiar with each other, so there was naturally no discomfort in their open and honest conversation.

Instead, Xiaolan and Yuanzi leaned against Chu Zhong's chest, huddling together for warmth, and their gentle rubbing helped his body temperature recover slightly.

However, the cold sea breeze was still blowing on my back, creating a stark contrast between the hot and cold, like experiencing both ice and fire.

"Lord Chu..."

Ran and Sonoko were warmly embraced and protected. They knew that Chu Zhong was enduring the cold for them, but they couldn't help him much and could only look at him with concern.

"Xiao Lan, you're strong, like this..."

Chu Zhong came up with a solution: he wrapped Xiao Lan's fists in clothing to serve as makeshift boxing gloves, so she could strike the rocks on the right side of the cave.

If I remember correctly, given Xiaolan's fighting prowess in the original work, when she's angry, she could easily punch a hole in a concrete utility pole.

This small cave is constantly eroded by sea winds, so the rocks are definitely not as hard as cement. With clothing and golden armor for protection, Xiaolan's hands should not be injured.

By simply creating a small, extra space, the area can be prevented from being directly exposed to the sea breeze, thus mitigating the heat loss.

"Ah--!"

Upon hearing that she could help, Ran Mouri immediately raised her fist, which was wrapped in her clothes, and slammed it directly into the rock.

Bang-!

The fragile rock was instantly punched into a deep hole, and Ran Mouri's fist, along with half of her arm, disappeared into it.

Seeing that Chu Zhong's method was effective, Ran Mouri immediately started punching the rock repeatedly, creating deep holes in it.

As we all know, forces act in pairs.

After being neutralized by the clothing, gauntlets, and equipment, a small portion of the rebounding force returned to Ran Mouri, causing her body to tremble slightly.

The result of the continuous punches was that his body trembled repeatedly, and his elastic skin shook like jelly being touched.

This amusing scene captivated Chu Zhong, who couldn't tear his eyes away.

It's a pity there was no sun and the light was a bit dim, otherwise he would definitely have used a camera...

I almost forgot, the situation was so urgent just now that I didn't have time to grab my camera, and it sank to the bottom of the sea...

Within two minutes, the fragile rock was blasted open by Ran Mouri's fist, creating a crater half a meter deep, large enough for three people to squeeze into.

Chu Zhong piled the fallen rubble at the entrance of the small cave, forming a rubble heap, and then lay down in the pit like he was sitting on a sofa.

He was holding Ran and Sonoko in his arms.

After avoiding direct sea breeze, the perceived temperature immediately became much warmer.

"Lord Chu~"

Sonoko then spoke up, "How about... we go to a warmer cave to warm up?"

Chu Zhong looked down and found that Yuanzi was sitting in his lap, and the weapon that had been silently unsealed was also restrained by her.

A warm paradise is just around the corner, only a short step away...

goo~

Chu Zhong's stomach protested.

Then, as if in resonance, Ran and Sonoko's stomachs also started rumbling.

The three of them had originally planned to have lunch at the cliffside restaurant, but they fell off the cliff halfway there and swam for nearly an hour, so they were already very hungry.

"At times like these, it's important to conserve your energy."

Chu Zhong smiled and squeezed Yuanzi's hand. "It's not too late to go on an adventure after we're out of trouble."

As he spoke, Chu Zhong silently uttered the word "seal," forcibly sealing the weapon away.

The environment in this small cave is terrible, and it's cold. It's not comfortable at all. Chu Zhong was thinking of taking a few photos to remember the occasion, but now that he doesn't even have a camera, he's not willing to make do.

However, what Chu Zhong cared about was seen by Sonoko and Ran as him forcibly enduring and maintaining rationality.

The three people, huddled together for warmth, gradually warmed up, and their breathing became heavier...

Not for any other reason, but simply because I was thirsty.

I swam for almost an hour, and now I'm not only hungry, but also thirsty; my mouth is dry.

Outside the cave, the waves grew increasingly turbulent; it was still high tide, and the sea was getting closer and closer to the cave.

A light rain began to fall from the overcast sky, drifting obliquely into the small cave under the sea breeze, making the temperature even colder.

Inside the small cave, the light grew dimmer, but the three of them could clearly hear each other's heartbeats and breathing.

"Lord Chu, can we... go back?"

Ran Mouri said something in a low voice, sounding somewhat uneasy.

The waves crashing against the rock walls were almost splashing into the cave; it was obvious without even looking that the sea level was rising higher and higher.

If we're unlucky, this little cave might also be submerged by the rising tide.

My phone sank to the bottom of the sea, so I can't contact the outside world. I'm hungry and thirsty, and even if the rain stops, there's no way I can swim back to the beach...

"Don't worry."

Chu Zhong gently patted Xiao Lan's back and said confidently, "We'll definitely get back to the hotel, and then..."

However, he forgot to remove the title he was wearing, and also conveyed the worries he wanted to hide to Xiaolan.

By the time Chu Zhong realized his deception had failed, it was too late.

"Lord Chu, why don't we do it now..."

Xiaolan had already pinned him down, her tone firm, "It just so happens that we have nothing else to do right now."

Sonoko chimed in, "Yeah, it's bound to happen sooner or later anyway, so what's there to hesitate about?"

As they spoke, the two best friends, regardless of Chu Zhongtong's agreement, immediately divided the work and attempted to break the seal.

Chu Zhong was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

There are thousands of chocolates and dozens of bottles of beer in the inventory, so food and water are not a problem at all.

He was just hesitating about whether to take out the props in front of everyone and expose his secret.

As for how to escape, Chu Zhong had already figured it out; he was just a little worried about the weather...

Unexpectedly, his worries were passed on to Xiaolan, which stirred up her feelings of despair.

When people are in despair, they will think about doing what they most want to do in order to avoid not having the opportunity to do it in the future.

"Stop!"

Chu Zhong, in a slightly stern voice, stopped them: "If you keep fooling around like this, I'm going to get angry..."
