Journey to the Mysterious Sea

Chapter 5 Lurking in the Cave

Wang Xunhai was like a body that had been drained of vitality, deeply immersed in extreme fatigue, as if every cell was wailing, and every bit of strength was ruthlessly drained away, making it difficult for him to survive this seemingly long and endless night. That night was as long as a year for him, and every minute and every second was like struggling in the abyss of pain.

When the first ray of morning light, like a shy messenger, struggled to pass through the extremely narrow gap of the small cave, it was like a beam of extremely weak light that carried infinite hope. This beam of light gently and slowly fell on his haggard face, as if it was a trace of comfort given to him by God. He was awakened from his chaotic consciousness as if from a dream, and his eyes revealed a trace of confusion and fatigue.

On his forehead, fine beads of sweat were densely arranged, like a thin and sticky gauze, tightly attached to the skin. The uncomfortable sticky feeling made him feel indescribable discomfort all over his body. His body was extremely hot, as if it was placed on a blazing fire, burning mercilessly. Obviously, the high fever had invaded his body like a demon, causing him great torture.

His mind was filled with doubts, like a mess of tangled threads that he couldn't sort out. He had clearly been extra careful to keep warm yesterday, but why couldn't he escape the misfortune of having a fever? Perhaps it was the cold wind that came quietly from nowhere in the night. The cold wind, like a ghost, quietly invaded his body when he was least prepared, bringing this illness and making him suffer.

Wang Xunhai used all his strength, and that strength seemed to be desperately dug out from the deepest part of his body, and slowly drilled out from the small hole with great difficulty. He struggled to move his body, which had long been stiff as wood, and every movement seemed so difficult. The joints made a "cracking" sound, and the sound seemed to be the body's strong protest against the excessive fatigue, as if telling the pain he was enduring.

Then, he took a deep breath, and that breath seemed to be his last resort in this world, as if he wanted to inhale all the air in this world into his lungs to gain a little strength. Then, he jumped and jumped down. The moment he landed, he felt his steps were weak and powerless, as if the ground under his feet was shaking constantly, as if it would swallow him up at any time. That unstable feeling made him feel a deep fear in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth tightly, stubbornly supporting his shaky body, and moved forward step by step with difficulty.

Suddenly, a thunderous rumbling sound suddenly exploded in his ears. The sound was deafening, as if it would completely rupture his eardrums. This sudden loud noise made Wang Xunhai's heart shrink suddenly. He subconsciously raised his head and looked forward anxiously.

Above the sky, black clouds were surging like a surging tide, rushing towards this side with an overwhelming and unstoppable momentum. The clouds rolled and surged, as if a disaster was about to swallow everything. Wang Xunhai felt his scalp tingling, and a bone-chilling chill spread rapidly from his spine to every corner of his body like a poisonous snake. The chill made his body tremble involuntarily.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and ran desperately. He knew in his heart that he had to find a cave large enough to avoid the coming rainstorm. The narrow cave like the one last night could not accommodate his body at all, especially at this critical moment when the rainstorm was about to pour down.

Wang Xunhai clenched his teeth tightly, and it seemed that his teeth were about to break. This was a manifestation of his firm will. He tried his best to climb over one towering mountain after another. Each mountain was like a huge obstacle, blocking his progress, but he did not retreat at all.

Every step he took was like a thrilling race with death, and every breath he took was like burning the last flame of his life. It was a desire for survival and a fight against fate.

Just when he felt that his strength was about to run out, like a candle about to go out in the wind, he finally found a cave. A ray of hope flashed in his eyes, like the light of dawn. That light was a glimmer of hope he saw in despair. He rushed into the cave impatiently, as if it was his last straw.

However, a strong and pungent fishy smell hit his nose like a heavy iron fist. Wang Xunhai's eyes flashed with a vigilant look, and he immediately understood that this meant that this cave had an owner, and at this moment, the owner had not returned yet.

Wang Xunhai took a deep breath and tried hard to calm his heartbeat that was as rapid as a war drum. He knew that he had to stay calm at this moment to deal with the danger that might happen next. Then, he looked outside the cave.

At this moment, the gentle breeze suddenly became a strong wind, and the wind roared like the anger of a demon, wantonly destroying everything in the world. Seeing that the rainstorm was about to hit like a ferocious beast, he knew clearly that he had no time to leave this cave and find another place.

At this point, the only way to survive is to fight to the death! Wang Xunhai carefully hid in the corner of the cave, trying his best to restrain his breath, as if to completely blend into this dark corner and not be discovered by anyone.

Boom, boom, boom, a heavy sound of footsteps like thunder came from far away. Each footstep was like a heavy hammer hitting Wang Xunhai's heart, making his heart beat violently involuntarily, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

Wang Xunhai raised his head nervously and looked forward. Finally, he saw the real owner of the cave - a big bear with unique and strange patterns on its belly. The big bear's body was as huge as a towering mountain. Every step it took was heavy and powerful, exuding a daunting aura of majesty.

Wang Xunhai felt his head buzzing, and his mind went blank for a moment. He secretly complained in his heart: What a narrow road for enemies! He knew that he was about to face a life-and-death test.
