When Wen Xiao was also locked up in the water dungeon, Lin Ge couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. "I didn't think you were so kind before, but now I realize that you're quite particular. If you're loyal enough, we'll be brothers in the future. Let's think of a way to leave together. "
"Lin Ge, I'll tell you very seriously now that I'm a very particular person. I also know what loyalty is." Wen Xiao said. "But I'm not stupid enough to come to this place to accompany you for loyalty. The reason I let them lock me up in this water dungeon is because of your lack of calm. Do you understand what I mean? "
"I know. You're blaming me for not running with you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ended up like this. " Lin Ge waved his hand, and the water rippled. "I know it's because of me. You don't have to remind me anymore. But if it were you, after eating bugs, spiders, and ants for a day, you wouldn't want to leave even if you saw the kitchen. "
Wen Xiao shook his head. "No, even if we left, we couldn't have escaped. This is a big trap that Uncle Xiang dug. He was waiting for me to fish you in here and catch you in one fell swoop. He's much more difficult to deal with than we thought. We were too careless. "
"You can't blame the fox for being too cunning when you go hunting without success." Lin Ge really didn't know how to shirk responsibility. "If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the hunter for not being focused enough. The initiative should have been in our hands, but now it seems that we don't have any initiative at all. Instead, we're very passive. "
"What initiative do you still want?" Wen Xiao said. "It's already very lucky that he didn't kill you. Lin Ge, Uncle Xiang is scarier than we thought. He won't be controlled by anyone. Even if we have very, very important clues in our hands that can help him, he won't be controlled by us. You can't use this as a bargaining chip. "
"So that old fox is really a tough guy. He knows that it's more reliable to rely on his own two hands than on anyone else." Lin Ge mocked himself, "Stop calling him Uncle Xiang. You're making it sound like you're close to him. It's affecting my judgment of you."
Wen Xiao was speechless. "I've already been locked up in this water prison to suffer with you. Why are you still so suspicious?"
"It's just a joke. Do you have to go so far?" Lin Ge said, "Alright, don't be angry. Think of a way to open the lock on the top. If we soak in the water for a night, we'll be swollen, right?"
Wen Xiao was not in the mood to joke with Lin Ge. Their current situation was too dangerous, and there was one very important point. They really had no way of leaving, because this lock had a mechanism that required a key to open. Otherwise, the two smelly beasts next door would be released.
Although it was now two against two, the two of them were not completely helpless against the crocodiles. But in this space where there was no place to hide, and they were unarmed, it was still very difficult to deal with the two giant crocodiles. Even if the two of them had a pair of iron fists, the power in the water would be greatly affected. It was simply impossible to rely on fists to solve the problem.
"This lock is connected to the iron bars between us and the crocodiles." Wen Xiao said, "I dare say that the only key that can open the lock has already been personally delivered to Uncle Xiang by that guy called Ding Cai. I don't have any objections to using force, but first you have to tell me how you can stop those two crocodiles. If you have the ability, we can give it a try. "
Lin Ge pondered for a while, and finally shook his head. It was better to forget it. In this space, he really had no way to stop the two crocodiles. There was simply no way to buy time for Wen Xiao to open the lock. When the time came, the sound in the water would be so loud that it would definitely disturb the others. If they were discovered that they wanted to escape, then they would really face death.
"Think of a way. This won't work." Lin Ge shook his head.
Wen Xiao laughed bitterly. "You're finally willing to use your brain. You know that this won't solve the problem. I thought you would really agree. "
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Lin Ge rolled his eyes at Wen Xiao. "Let's hurry up. I ate a lot of beef before I got into the water, and I even drank a few mouthfuls of white wine in the kitchen. I have enough calories. You probably didn't even eat anything, right? How long can you last? "
Wen Xiao raised his head and looked at the iron cage. "Don't worry, I won't die from soaking in the water for a night. In a place like this, there's no way we can get out without anyone outside to help us. "
At this moment, Wen Xiao suddenly missed the black dog. If the black dog Barton was here, it would definitely not see him like this. Unfortunately, Uncle Xiang had already predicted this. When he first arrived here, the black dog was sent out by Uncle Xiang.
Out of all the people around Uncle Xiang, Uncle Xiang was the only one Wen Xiao could trust. He was also the only one who would think from Wen Xiao's perspective and could help Wen Xiao.
But now, there was no one who could help them.
"You're giving up just like that?" Lin Ge was stunned. "Don't. You've lived here for so long. Can't you even handle such a small matter?"
"You make it sound so easy for such a small matter." Wen Xiao sighed. "This matter is not as simple as you think. We don't even have a single helper. I've been emphasizing that we have to work together from the inside out because I was afraid this would happen. Now, we're both useless. "
Lin Ge shrugged. "If my brother knew about this, he'd be disappointed."
Wen Xiao suddenly had a glimmer of hope. "Do you think Boss has already arrived?"
"What are you thinking? You calculate the time. If he wants to go to Yanjing to ask for help and then rush here from Yanjing, it's at least 3,500 kilometers in a straight line, right? " Lin Ge smiled bitterly. "Unless he's driving a plane, it's already good enough that he's able to pass through Hubei."
Wen Xiao also knew that they had to cross almost the entire Hua Xia. With such a long distance, they couldn't expect them to arrive in such a short time. "If that's the case, we can only stay here for the night. It's good to have two crocodiles as companions. It won't be too boring. What do you think? "
"Ah … it won't be too boring." Lin Ge said weakly. "Let's talk less and conserve some energy. Who knows how that old fox wants to torture us. Let's take turns sleeping. "
Wen Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Lin Ge's words. "You can sleep in a place like this? Aren't you afraid of drowning? "
Lin Ge was a little proud. "I didn't grow up in the inland areas. After the Dragon Brigade sent me away, I lived by the sea for the rest of my life. I'll sleep first … Think of a way to rest yourself. "
After saying that, Lin Ge held a breath in his dantian and tried to relax his body. Then, his whole body floated on the water. As long as he kept breathing and kept his lungs filled with air, Lin Ge could float on the water.
Wen Xiao was really impressed. It wasn't because he could float. Any expert swimmer would know this move. The principle was very simple. But how many people could float and fall asleep in such a situation? There were still two crocodiles next door. These two beasts were much scarier than "Old Wang next door."
"Are we really sleeping?" Wen Xiao still couldn't believe it.
Lin Ge closed his eyes and said weakly, "If we don't conserve some energy, we won't be able to escape even if we want to. Wouldn't that be too much of a pity?"
What he said made sense. Wen Xiao waved his hand, indicating that Lin Ge should sleep if he could. He didn't have the ability to sleep on the water, and he wasn't that generous. He still had his worries.
Although Uncle Xiang had been led into another line of thought by his own complicatedness, what would happen once he came back to his senses?
At that time, how could Wen Xiao calm Uncle Xiang down? How could he convince Uncle Xiang that he and Lin Ge could help him? Only then could they save their lives and buy time for Xu Yun to find them. Otherwise, they really couldn't be saved.
…
What Lin Ge and Wen Xiao didn't dare to imagine was that Xu Yun and the others really came by plane. They directly flew across almost the entire Hua Xia and arrived at the border area. And they had already passed through the minefield and arrived outside the border. Xu Yun was advancing rapidly according to the clues left by Lin Ge.
