Purifying Mantra Chapter 114 Overestimating Oneself

I looked at the woods on the other side of the beach, and there was no sound of birds or animals at all. Although I didn't want to hear any sounds of wild animals, it was so strange that there weren't even any sounds of insects or birds. Is there no living thing on the entire island except me? I looked at the sky again, but I still couldn't see the sun, and I couldn't feel the sunlight. It was just red clouds, boundless, motionless and allowed to be reflected by the mirror-like sea.

I began to feel scared, and I ran on the beach regardless of the pain. My legs and feet were not up to par and made me fall one after another. I rolled and crawled as if I was running for my life without stopping. Just let me run out of this silence and see anything alive, even if it's a dinosaur.

However, the reality was not as bad as I imagined. When we were approaching a large reef, I saw our boat. I collapsed on the beach and shouted: "Fat man! Fat man!"

There was no response, and the boat docked quietly on the beach, like a scene in a painting. I stared at the boat in shock, where is the fat man? He is the most reliable among us. Where would he be if he were not on the ship?

I stood up holding on to the nearby reef. My eyes flickered and I saw a huge shell adsorbed on the part of the reef embedded in the sea water. The shell opened slightly, revealing the fist-sized beads inside. The white beads were not stained by the sky or sea water. red, shining with a warm luster.

No way! Such a big pearl? I moved closer to the big shell. The shell sensed danger and closed suddenly. I was surprised to find that shells and beads are not uncommon here at all. The bottom of all the reefs are covered with giant shells, and there are many beads larger than bowls. sky! No wonder Fatty and the others have gone through all kinds of dangers to come here. As long as they can transport these back alive, they will spend more than a few lifetimes.

wrong! The fat man said he was here to find Sharman Yu and Dingshenji. Could it be that Sharman lives on this rich island? A shark is a mermaid! Thinking of this, I became a little distraught.

I walked toward the ship, my steps becoming very brisk. However, this happiness only lasted until I got on the boat. I searched the cabin and cockpit and confirmed that Fatty and the others were not there. All the safety belts outside the cockpit broke from the plastic buckles. I wondered in my heart whether the fat man was deceived into buying inferior goods, or he miscalculated the power of the dragon to absorb water, causing us all to fall into the sea. What about the fat man? Where is he now?

I lay down on the bow of the boat and carefully examined the traces I left on the beach in the red light. No! None of them came ashore, there were only my footprints on the flat beach. I ran back to the stern of the boat and looked into the calm sea. The small dot in the red light that broke the calm sea surface made my heart sink into my stomach again.

"Fat man! Fat man..." I waved my hands and jumped on the deck and shouted. I felt that it must be Fat Man, because we almost died last time, and he was the only one who still dragged Huang Xiao and swam an unknown distance to find us. Of course the fat man couldn't respond. It took me a while to realize how stupid my behavior was.

I lay on the deck looking at the calm sea and thinking, besides me, there were three other people who fell into the sea. If the three of them were in a coma, the fat man must need my help. But in my current state, would it be safe to jump into the water? Will it cause trouble for the fat man?

Although I was thinking wildly, the actions of my hands were still quicker than my brain. I had already put on my life jacket, and took off the remaining swimming ring hanging at the stern of the boat. I checked the rope and hung it on the strap of my life jacket. It's close to the shore, so it won't be any worse than the last time we were attacked by sharks.

I climbed out of the boat along the anchor, and the iron chain scratched the wound on my hand, causing it to split again. It hurt a little, but compared to the countless wounds on my body, this pain was completely negligible.

From the moment he first saw Fatty to now, he is still a small dot, seemingly staying there and not moving at all. I dragged the swimming ring behind me and rowed hard with my arms to get closer to the fat man. I found that the water temperature here was very high, lower than the hot spring, roughly estimated to be about 30 degrees.

Normally on the coast there will be foam produced by the waves crashing on the rocks and beaches, but there is none here, of course not, because the water is so still that it looks like it is dead.

Upon closer inspection, there is no unique salty smell at the seaside. There is always a smell similar to citronella in the seawater. The taste of the seawater at the entrance is the same salty and astringent, there is no difference.

I swam hard, my hands and feet felt extremely exhausted, and the load on my heart was close to the limit. But when I turned around, I found that I was only about a hundred meters away from the shore. What happened?

Even if my injury was serious, I shouldn't have been able to swim this little distance with my paddling frequency. I pulled the rope, grabbed the swimming ring and pressed it on my chest to rest, and turned my attention to the small swaying dot in the distance again.

Is the resistance of the water too great? If I was swimming upstream, then Fatty should be swimming downstream. Why didn't he move for so long?

It's a pity that I didn't bring a telescope, otherwise I would have been able to confirm whether the fat man was approaching me. I regretted rashly entering the water. The most stupid thing was that I came down without replenishing fresh water. I thought everything was too simple.

Everything on this trip happened unexpectedly. It was like reality gave me a slap in the face. After I go back, I will live peacefully. If I dare to look for excitement again, I will stay here and never go back. .

An oath is an oath, people still have to be saved. Even if it’s difficult, you can’t swim back and give up. I left the swimming circle and continued to swim toward the moving dot. Only this time, I no longer overestimated my ability and took a break after swimming for a while.

During the eleventh break, I heard Zhang Lingxi roaring from afar: "What a sutra, why are you running here? You might as well stay on the boat and prepare some food for us!"

I stayed where I was and looked at them carefully. No wonder Zhang Lingxi roared! Fatty, Huang Xiao and Zhang Lingxi were all paddling hard, with only the unconscious Ma Tiantong dragged behind. I suddenly felt aggrieved and yelled at Zhang Lingxi: "How did I know that Ma Tiantong was the only one who needed to be rescued! I'm not clairvoyant!" In anger, I turned around and rowed towards the shore.

Although he was angry, he was still very happy in his heart. After all, they were all fine. Maybe I was so eager to save people that I didn't pay attention. Now I looked down and saw that the water plants on the seabed were all red. Is it the mapping effect of Hongxia?

No, there's another thing that's wrong. There isn't a single fish in the visible waters. Could it be that I was unlucky and didn't see it?

I began to worry about our dinner. Fatty and the others were strong in numbers, and they quickly caught up with me. Okay, I admit, my physical fitness is incomparable to any of them.

Zhang Lingxi was at the far side and grabbed the lifebuoy that was dragged behind me, which added a lot of resistance to me. I glanced at him hatefully and didn't intend to talk to him.

"Since you are here to save people, don't return in vain. From now on, you can drag me to the shore!" Zhang Lingxi pretended to be lazy and said angrily.

"Why do you need me to save you? It's because I'm too busy and have no eyesight!" I rolled my eyes at him, feeling out of breath.

"Okay, stop bickering here!" Fatty said sternly.

I was frightened by this sudden sentence. Huang Xiao gave me a wink and told me not to stir up trouble at this time. There was a resentment in my heart that had no place to vent, and I felt even more aggrieved to be suppressed by them like this.

No matter how powerful the fat man is, he is neither my uncle nor my brother, so why should I listen to him. After thinking about it, I took all my frustration out on the paddling water.
