Shui Ling was a little panicked. Who was coming? How could he run away now that there was no shore?

The big catfish seemed to be aware of this situation, and it started to hit the air mattress with its head.

But the current here is neither urgent nor slow, and it is impossible to completely change the course with the power of the big catfish.

Shui Ling thought for a moment and untied the belt. After tinkering with it with her little hands, the belt turned into a long rope.

She grabbed the outer skin of an air mattress and tied it with a rope. The air mattress instantly had a bulge.

She threw the other end of the rope into the water and said, "Help pull it."

The catfish was not shy, biting the rope and dragging the air mattress, it swam hard to the left.

Gong Qianyu frowned and held the dagger in his hand, as if he would throw the dagger out as a hidden weapon at any time.

Because the big catfish dragged the air cushion, rolling water splashes appeared behind it, and behind the water splashes appeared something emitting pink fluorescence. It had octopus-like arms scattered in the water like flowers.

Shui Ling kept staring at the thing. It didn't seem to want to attack, but it didn't leave either and followed it keeping a distance.

It wasn't until two quarters of an hour later that Shui Ling realized something was wrong. This guy seemed to be driving the bighead fish somewhere intentionally.

She immediately turned back and looked ahead. She originally wanted to tell the big catfish not to be fooled, but she saw an island in front of her.

"Why are there islands here?" She said to herself and began to look around.

The illumination range of this air mattress's light is too small, and the edge of the river cannot be seen at all.

In other words, this is not a river at all, but an underground lake. If it is an underground lake, it would not be surprising if there is a central island.

The big catfish seemed to think that the island was safe and tried its best to pull the air mattress to the shore.

Shui Ling didn't feel safe there, after all, the big monster in the water intended to drive them to the island.

But it is better to be down-to-earth than to float on the water, so after reaching the shore, Shui Ling jumped down and pulled the rope to drag the air mattress to the shore.

Gong Qianyu felt unsafe, so he pulled some more inside. Even if the tide would rise here, he was not afraid of the air mattress being carried away.

Shuiling squatted down and removed the light strip from the air mattress. The battery was on the back of the light strip, but unfortunately it was disposable.

The good thing is that this light strip can be cut as short as you want. Shuiling took Gong Qianyu's dagger and cut the light strip into four sections. "One section for each person can be tied around the waist."

Xianjiu saw that the light strip was very long, so he cut another section and wrapped it around the cocoon, probably because he was afraid that it would fall and not be found.

Shui Ling looked at the cocoon. There was the ancestor of the fairy clan inside, so he had to protect it.

Gong Qianyu took Shuiling's hand and asked, "Where are we going?"

Shui Ling looked around and saw that the island was full of gravel, "Let's go inside and take a look."

She took a look at the lake and saw that the big guy was gone. Wasn't he trying to eat these people?

The big catfish floated on the water, seemingly reluctant to let go.

But Xianjiu was not nostalgic, her eyes were full of cocoons in her arms.

Ruan Ling asked: "Is it safe to go inside?"

Shui Ling shook his head, "I don't know either, but we must find clean water and food, otherwise we will die even if there are no enemies."

"Hmm..." Ruan Ling nodded, there is no doubt about this.

A few people walked towards the island. There were not many gravel areas. After walking for a while, they saw white grass. Because there was no light, they were white.

We have to admire the vitality of these grasses, they are really tenacious.

Shuiling knelt down and touched the grass. There was enough water powder in the grass, so there was no need to worry about the water source.

Squeezing grass juice can also quench your thirst, but it's not very tasty.

The key thing is that these grasses have no mutation at all, and there is no fear of contamination after drinking.

The group of people continued to walk forward, and across the grass they could see corns half as tall as a person. The corns were all ripe, but the fruits were only as long as a finger, and they looked cute in their mini size.

Shui Ling peeled open the leaves of the corn, revealing the purple-black seeds inside. The corn had dried completely, so it could not be eaten directly.

Xianjiu said excitedly: "These are food. They will grind them into powder and boil them in water."

Shui Ling nodded, "It's good if you can eat it, but why are there plants here? Are there people here?"

This piece of corn is less than one acre of land, so it would be wrong if it was cultivated artificially.

Because they are unevenly distributed, it's like the corn bag fell off and spread all over the ground before sprouting.

Gong Qianyu asked: "Do you want to take it off?"

Shui Ling shook her head, "No need, come back and pick it up when needed."

She paused and then said: "Place the stones on the ground to make a mark, otherwise we may not be able to find it."

Even so, she still picked some to fill her backpack, just in case.

They continued walking across the corn field. Mo Bao and Zai Zai in the backpack couldn't stand the squeeze of the corn, so they lay directly on Shui Ling's shoulders.

Mo Bao looked around and yawned, feeling a little bored.

Zai Zai was very curious and kept looking around, not knowing how far it could see.

Gong Qianyu saw that both cats were pressing Shui Ling, so he took Mo Bao over and put it on his shoulder.

Mo Bao looked at it and didn't resist.

Shui Ling made marks on the ground as he walked. He didn't know how far he had walked. Anyway, it was dark in front and behind him, so there was no way to measure the distance.

After walking for a while, Ruan Ling gasped and said, "I'm so tired, I can't walk anymore."

Shui Ling looked around. This was a shale area. It looked clean. There were also many dead trees and unknown plants.

"Let's take a rest. We can make some popcorn."

Ruan Ling looked at her blankly, "What is popcorn?"

Shui Ling smiled and said, "We'll find out later. Help me collect firewood."

"What is firewood?" Ruan Ling asked again.

Shuiling pointed at the dry wood, "That's it, drag it over here."

"Oh." Ruan Ling immediately went to get firewood.

Xianjiu asked: "What can I do?"

Shui Ling thought for a moment and said, "Give me a handful of those hay."

"Okay." Xianjiu nodded.

When everything was ready, Shuiling had already built a simple stove with flat shale on top.

A fire was lit underneath to heat up the shale, and then corn kernels were put in. Soon the corns exploded one by one.

Shui Ling picked one up and threw it into his mouth. It was actually very fragrant.

The others also began to bake popcorn like Shui Ling.

Gong Qianyu was a little impatient, so he threaded the corn on a tree branch and roasted it directly on the fire. It also exploded.

They ate briefly, but the popcorn was dry, so they were collectively thirsty.

Shuiling went to find some water barnyard grass, pressed out the juice with a stone and drank it.

Although it tastes weird, it is a sweet spring for those who are extremely thirsty.

Now that the stomach problem has been solved, Gong Qianyu asked: "Shall we continue walking inside?"
