The two girls who were hiding from the rain under the giant lizard's faintly discernible slender body could no longer think because of the cold water. They seemed to be used to the strange things happening around them.
They shivered as they untied their jackets and moved closer to the warm bonfire. Not long after, patches of bright red appeared on their faces.
Seeing that the girls were no longer shaking so hard, Zhang Lisheng turned around in the cramped space and said with his back facing the bonfire, "You guys better dry your underwear. Although we'll be able to move much faster tomorrow with Island Dragon's help.
Although we can move much faster tomorrow with Island Dragon's help, it'll take a few days for us to see the city since the GPS malfunctioned and we're lost. It'll be terrible if we fall sick now.
Speaking of which, it's f * cked up, the Paradise Hotel's GPS is too unreliable. It malfunctioned as soon as it was hit by the flood, it's not a professional one … "
"We're leaving from Tuikano's dock. Although we're turning here and there in the river, we're heading west in general. We'll turn northwest when we get to the shore …"
"You remember the direction!" Zhang Lisheng turned his head and shouted in surprise.
The two girls were taking off their underwear in the fire and were drying it in their hands. Their naked bodies were curled into a beautiful and soul-stirring arc.
Tina was stunned seeing Zhang Lisheng turning his head. She put down her arms that were covering her chest and said while holding her chest up, "Do I look good?"
Trish's face was flushed. As a Catholic girl, she was not as open as her best friend. Although she did not scream, the anger in her eyes that were spitting fire could not be hidden at all.
When the unexpected beautiful scenery entered his eyes, Zhang Lisheng froze for a moment as an indescribable heat rose in his heart. His Adam's apple moved as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hurriedly turned his head back. "I'm sorry, I-I was too excited when I heard that Trish actually remembered the general direction …"
"Lisheng, I know you didn't mean it, it's fine.
I just don't know if our purest Catholic girl in Manhattan, Trish would mind you seeing her beautiful naked body. "
"Tina, you're really … really careless. So many accidents happened today, it's like a horror sci-fi movie and you're still in the mood to joke like this?"
"If I don't joke around, am I supposed to sit by the fire and frown all night?
We're lucky enough, Trish. One must know that the chance of the opposite sex friend of the two New York girls coincidentally being a foreign deity who mastered the mysterious dark power is much smaller than winning the Powerball prize.
Especially when this friend was with us when we encountered danger in the Amazon jungle and stayed by our side. "
Trish opened her mouth speechlessly and ignored her best friend sitting across the fire. Turning her head to look at Zhang Lisheng's skinny back, she said, "Forget it, Lisheng, I also believe that your impoliteness this time is unintentional.
I'm born with a very strong sense of direction, so I can roughly remember where Tuikano is. However, there might be some errors if it's washed away by the flood … "
"It's okay if there's a mistake, we can try slowly. We'll eventually find the right path to Tuikano."
"B-but Sheila, Walter, Shittu …"
"We don't even have a tent now. Why don't we take care of our lives first, Miss?" Zhang Lisheng said in an almost cold voice.
The cruel experience in the jungle seemed to have matured Trish a lot within the short few days. At least, she understood the meaning of self-awareness.
She stared at the dancing fire in the fire speechlessly. Tears flowed out of her eyes slowly and dripped onto the ground one drop after another. However, she said nothing.
The next day, the rain stopped slowly as the sun rose. Zhang Lisheng cultivated with his secret method for a while during the safest half an hour when the jungle's biosphere alternated between day and night. He recovered some of his energy.
Between the two ladies, Trish knew that she would not get the answer to the young man's endless tricks. She acted like she did not see anything.
Tina, on the other hand, passed an energy bar to the young man after he stood up. She asked in concern, "Lisheng, don't you need to sleep after inhaling a few mouthfuls of the black gas your pet exhaled? Is there any side effect like taking drugs?"
"There's no side effect. It's just that the cultivation time is too short, so I can't recover my strength completely. However, we can ride on Island Dragon to glide on top of the jungle in the future. It won't drain too much of our strength."
"Island Dragon, is that your black dragon that can only turn invisible?"
The girl saw Zhang Lisheng's two wizard worms fighting faintly with the help of the fire when they were killing the strange bees last night. However, she could not see it clearly due to the light and the angle.
"It's not a black dragon, it's a mutated lizard. Let's go now, we can eat this when we go for a ride," Zhang Lisheng chanted witchcraft incantation to make Island Dragon show up.
Hiding from the rain under the belly of the giant lizard in the middle of the rainy night was completely different from seeing it bare its fangs, dragging its three tails that resembled scorpions, and showing its body that was more than ten meters long to its heart's content.
Under the sun, Tina lifted her head to look at Island Dragon's ferocious face while looking pale. She mumbled, "Lisheng, your lizard's mutated is just too powerful.
Damn it, do we have to sit on it? It doesn't look that friendly. "
Zhang Lisheng smiled and asked Trish, "Trish, which direction should we go to?"
Trish drew a cross with her hand and pointed to the right with a pale face.
Zhang Lisheng nodded and controlled Island Dragon to crouch and climb onto the wizard worm's back strenuously. "Come on ladies, this big worm isn't as scary as you guys think.
Its scales look smooth but they actually have strong friction. You won't be able to shake it off no matter how bumpy your legs are. I swear, it's safer to sit on it than to sit on a Disney roller coaster. "
The two girls felt much calmer with the demonstration. They supported each other and got closer to Island Dragon. They climbed onto the giant lizard's back in a more relaxed posture than Zhang Lisheng did.
"Sit tight." As Zhang Lisheng shouted, Island Dragon stood up all of a sudden and began running on the wide empty ground next to the pool. It leaped high all of a sudden when it was about to jump into the dense jungle. It grabbed onto the trunk of a giant tree that was 100 meters tall with its four claws and circled around it. It began running on the jungle canopy as if it was gliding.
The two girls exclaimed along the way. They only calmed down after Island Dragon ran for two to three minutes.
Although there was a strong wind in the air, most of the wind was blocked by Island Dragon's extended neck. It became a comfortable breeze when it blew on Zhang Lisheng and the two girls.
Under the warm sun, they were enjoying the beautiful forest with greenery around them while enjoying the humid rainforest air and the soothing breeze. It was a completely different concept compared to the arduous journey in the dense jungle a few days ago.
"Oh, I understand now, Lisheng. That's how you ran to Lunuk City from Tuikano.
Hmph, you really know how to enjoy life, magical Mr. Mountain Worm. With such speed, if you were back then … "
"If the natives found out about Island Dragon back then, I'm afraid you'd be the only one alive.
Listen, Tina, I'm not a savior. If I don't owe you anything … "
"Alright Lisheng, your life philosophy is that you'll repay those who are kind to you but you'll feed those who hurt you to the worms.
Actually, it's not a big deal. There are countless idiots who have been beaten to death for trespassing in the US, so don't scare people like that. Trish is a Catholic and sometimes, she doesn't have a sense of humor. She might take your words seriously. "
Hearing what Tina said, Zhang Lisheng shook his head while looking at the wild jungle far away. He smiled lightly and said nothing more.
Day after day, they rode on Island Dragon in the Amazon jungle for a total of five days and four nights following the direction that Trish pointed out. According to the distance, it was up to 1,000 kilometers but it seemed like Tuikano City was still a long way off.
Tina's tone was no longer as confident as before when she was pointing the way. She began repeating what she said before, 'I roughly remember the direction of Tuikano, but there might be a mistake if it's washed away by the flood'.
However, the three of them were stuck. Having a direction in the vast jungle was better than walking aimlessly. Therefore, they could only continue following the direction Trish was pointing at.
It was raining heavily in the jungle at noon on the fifth day. At that moment, Tina who knew riding on Island Dragon's back to cross the jungle was not as perfect as she imagined. She could not help but scream into Zhang Lisheng's ear as the raindrops hit her face, "The rain's too heavy Lisheng. We're not in a rush, why don't we go to the jungle to avoid the rain?"
A bright silver wave came into their sight all of a sudden as the girl was speaking. The silver wave looked so glaring, dazzling and tempting to the six eyes that were used to seeing green.
It was the light reflected by the lake and river under the sun. There would always be people gathering when there was water.
Zhang Lisheng immediately controlled Island Dragon to glide towards the place where the silver wave was rippling.
As they got closer, a lake that was getting bigger and bigger appeared before their eyes. It was a huge lake that was washed by the Amazon River's tributary for thousands of years. The ecosystem around it was completely different from the jungle.
Zhang Lisheng controlled Island Dragon to climb down from the jungle's crown carefully. After hiding himself, he circled around and slipped out of the jungle slowly on the ground.
They appeared at the west corner of the lake and happened to see countless giant rats that were close to a meter long with a flat tail gathering in the lake. They were swimming in the water without avoiding the rain.
"What the hell, is the name of this lake called 'Boiling Rat Soup Pot'?" Tina said while sitting on Island Dragon. Although she sounded like she was joking, her voice was shaking a little.
"Those aren't rats, they're beavers. They're building a dam." Zhang Lisheng wiped the rain off his face hard and looked at the giant rats carefully. He pointed at a gap in the river far away and pointed at a huge gap that could be faintly seen in the jungle on the other side. He said, "Look, maybe that's the reason why we're facing the flood.
We might have been going in a big circle these few days. "
