Li Rui's hands were still on her butt. When he heard her yell the word "cliff", he didn't even think about it. He put his hands together and grabbed her left leg with all his strength. His eyes were fixed on her calf, but he only managed to grab her ankle. If he was a tenth of a second slower, he wouldn't even be able to grab her ankle. He could only watch as she fell off the cliff.
The upper half of Daina's body had already fallen. Fortunately, Li Rui had grabbed her leg and saved her from falling. Her left ankle was firmly gripped by Li Rui's hands. She was in mid-air with her head down and her feet up. Her body was swaying, and her mind was in a mess. She could still hear the mountain wind blowing past her ears. She was so scared that she was panting and at a loss.
"I'll pull you up!"
When Li Rui grabbed her ankle, his lower body had already fallen to the ground. Now, using the friction between his body and the ground, he slowly pulled Daina up. However, before he could pull her up half a foot, he heard the roars of two leopards not far behind him. He looked back and groaned inwardly. He saw that the two leopards were crazily chasing after him. They were less than five meters away from him. On one side was Daina who was in danger, and on the other side were the ferocious leopards. What should he do?
"Go to hell, go away, ow … woo!"
Li Rui shouted angrily as he imitated a tiger's roar. He even used his right leg to kick, hoping that this would scare the two leopards.
Strangely, the two leopards stopped at this distance at the same time. They stared at him and didn't attack. However, they didn't seem to be scared by Li Rui's actions and roars. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for Li Rui to run out of tricks before biting him.
Daina, who was in the air, quickly regained her senses. When she heard Li Rui's roar, she immediately realized something and said, "Are the leopards chasing after us?"
Li Rui sighed bitterly and said, "Yes, the fire can't stop them. What should we do?"
Daina shouted in a firm tone, "Let go of me!"
Li Rui shouted without thinking, "Are you crazy? You'll be dead if I let you go."
Daina actually laughed at this critical moment. "Ha, isn't my death exactly what you want?"
Li Rui scolded, "Get lost, do you think I'm stupid? If you die, Huang Qingang will send another killer to kill me. Another killer won't be as naive and cute as you. Let me tell you, you're still my friend today. I won't let go even if I die. "
Daina repeated the word he mentioned in a dreamy tone, "Naive and cute? How dare you describe me like that? Am I very naive and cute? "
Li Rui was furious and scolded, "F * ck, you're still talking nonsense at a time like this. Aren't you very smart? Hurry up and think of a way. If they rush up, I'll die. If I die, you won't be able to live either!"
Daina came back to her senses and said calmly, "I've already said the way. Let go of me, let go of me!"
Li Rui said angrily, "What kind of bullsh * t way is this? Do you think you can save me by sacrificing yourself? Let me tell you, it's impossible. Even if I let go of you and let you fall off the cliff, I won't be able to outrun these two leopards. I just thought that whether it's inside or outside the cave, it's their territory. Unless I can turn into a tiger … "
Daina sighed, "You're really stupid! Do you know what's under the cliff? It's not the ground, it's the pool. It's the pool we saw at the peak of the back mountain. If the posture of falling into the pool is correct, then you won't die. So let go of me quickly. "
Li Rui was pleasantly surprised when he heard that and said, "Really?"
Daina said, "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can come and see for yourself. "
Li Rui really didn't believe her. He was worried that she was deliberately lying to him so that he would abandon this burden and escape alone. He crawled forward, but before he crawled, he turned around to look at the two masters. He found that they were still squatting in the same place, looking at him with cold and mocking eyes. They were like two old cats looking at a mouse that had accidentally intruded into their nest. He thought that they wouldn't pounce on him for a while, so he crawled forward quickly.
When he came to the edge of the cliff outside the cave, Li Rui took a deep breath and gathered the strength in the depths of his body. He grabbed Daina's ankle tightly and looked down. As expected, there was a deep pool about forty to fifty meters below. The pool was green and calm. It was estimated to be several meters deep. If he could protect his head, chest, and abdomen when he entered the water, he would be lucky enough to survive.
"Let go of me. You have to jump down too. Otherwise, you won't be able to escape the pursuit of these two leopards!"
Daina looked at him with sincere eyes. It was rare to see a touch of true feelings in the depths of her eyes.
"Roar …"
Li Rui was about to say something to Daina when he suddenly heard the growl of the adult leopard behind him. He guessed that the leopard had discovered their attempt to jump off the cliff and was about to pounce on them. He was shocked and said, "Okay, I'll let go. Are you ready?"
Daina used both hands to support herself on the cliff and raised her body a little. She shouted, "Let go!"
Li Rui let go of her and watched her fall down in a standard diving posture. As he watched, he suddenly felt his right shoe move. He looked back and was scared out of his wits. He saw that the adult leopard had pounced on him and was biting his sneakers. He didn't know what it was thinking. It didn't bite the vital parts but only the shoes. In a hurry, he kicked back and escaped from the leopard's sharp teeth. He crawled up and ran to the edge of the cliff and rushed forward. He raised his arms high and put them together. He jumped down the cliff in the most standard diving posture.
At the moment he jumped, he didn't look at the deep pool at the bottom of the cliff because he was afraid that he would be scared out of his wits. When he jumped down, he could only accept his fate. He gathered his courage and looked down. He saw that the pool was getting closer and closer to him. Daina had already fallen into the deep pool, splashing a lot of water. She disappeared into the pool. He didn't know whether she was dead or alive. He thought to himself that the worst result of falling into the water was death. Even if he died, it was not a loss today because the beautiful Daina would die with him. Even if he died, he wouldn't be lonely as a ghost. However, it was hard for Qingman. She had to take care of Xiao Bowen and Zixuan, Xuefei, Jie Yu, and other close friends …
While his thoughts were running wild, he saw that the pool was getting closer and closer to him. He subconsciously took a deep breath. As soon as he took a deep breath, he heard a "bang" in his ear. Then he felt a sharp pain on his scalp, water entered his mouth and nose, and his shoulders felt like they were shocked by electricity. His whole body was cold and he had already sunk into the pool.
At first, he didn't move at all. He just held his breath and let the inertia take him to the bottom of the pool. However, the pool was too deep and his inertia was eliminated by the water before he could even reach the bottom. After he felt that he had stopped sinking, he identified the direction and began to wave his arms and kick his legs to swim up to the surface. His heart was filled with joy because he was lucky to be alive. He thought to himself that there was an old saying, "There is always a way out." It was really true.
He swam a few times and his fingers touched the air outside the water. He was overjoyed. When he was about to reach the surface of the water, his clothes suddenly tightened and he was caught by something.
"Ah!"
Li Rui turned pale with fright. He was so scared that his heart and liver were trembling. How could something in the water catch him? Was it a water ghost or an animal? If it was a water ghost, wouldn't it borrow his body to return to Yang? If it was an animal, the creature that lived in this deep mountain pool was definitely not a kind one. Was it an anaconda or a flood dragon? How could he be its opponent when fighting in the water where it was most proficient? He didn't expect that he would encounter a river monster just as he escaped death.
However, he wasn't the type to resign himself to fate. Even if someone wanted to harm him, he would fight back and make that thing pay a certain price. He suddenly kicked out with his feet and jumped up with the help of his waist. His right hand reached out to grab the thing on his waist. He wanted to jump out of the water and take a breath of fresh air. However, before his right hand touched that thing, he caught a ball of soft silk in the water. He felt more and more strange. He touched the ball of silk and felt a head. Then his right forearm moved and was caught by a white hand.
"Ah, I was wrong. It wasn't a water ghost or an animal. It was Daina who fell into the water first! She found me when she was swimming upstream, so she came to join me! "
Li Rui thought of this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he didn't have time to think about it. The most important thing now was to swim to the surface. He grabbed Daina's arm with one hand and swam towards the surface with both legs and one hand.
In the blink of an eye, Li Rui had already emerged from the water with a splash. He spat out the water in his mouth and nose, then opened his mouth to greedily take in a few breaths of fresh air. He then reached out to wipe the water off his face from bottom to top. Seeing that Dai Na was about to pop her head out of the water, he was so shocked that his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly pulled her body in front of him and wrapped one arm around her small waist, carrying her out of the water. His other hand was paddling in the water, and his feet were also constantly stepping on the water. He used a posture similar to hugging her to barely make her float on the water. He asked with concern, "Are you okay, Dai Na?"
Daina first coughed for a while and spat out a few mouthfuls of water. Then, she raised her head to look at him in a sorry state. She looked at him with a resentful gaze for a while. Suddenly, she raised her hand and gave him a small slap. Fortunately, she didn't have much strength left in her hand and she knew when to stop. Therefore, this small slap didn't hurt. It was just a symbolic slap. In essence, it was about the same as a light slap on his face.
Even so, Li Rui felt very strange. He asked in confusion, "Why did you hit me? I saved you from the water. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you hit me? "
Daina asked in annoyance, "What did you ask me just now?"
Li Rui tried to recall and said, "I … I asked if you were okay?"
