Jin Chao quickly took out a short sword from his waist and used it to pry the shark’s mouth open to give Xia Muqing a chance to escape.

“Go quickly!” Jin Chao said, letting go of her hand.

Xia Muqing turned around and gazed at him with an unreadable expression. She shook her head and said, “Let’s go together.”

After she finished speaking, she swam around the shark. Because the shark couldn’t eat its prey, it became angry. Its huge tail swung around and waves splashed in all directions.

The shark had thick skin and flesh and they had no chance of winning. Xia Muqing quickly touched the pouch at her waist. She didn’t lose it despite the huge struggle earlier.

Xia Muqing took out the items from her pouch and sneered. “Move back a little, Jin Chao.”

Seeing how confident she was, Jin Chao retreated a little. She threw the thing into the shark’s mouth and shouted, “Swim!”

Jin Chao threw away the arrow he had used to restrain the shark and swam away swiftly.

The shark that had escaped his control still had the short sword in its mouth as it made a beeline towards them. Xia Muqing and Jin Chao didn’t turn back to look at the shark chasing after them and used all their strength to swim as fast as they could.

They could only fight till their last breath.

Fortunately, heaven was still on their side.

Just as the shark caught up with them, it suddenly stopped moving. With a series of explosions, a large amount of blood and cracks began to appear on the shark’s body.

Xia Muqing and Jinchao had already swam to the edge of the island. The two of them lay on the beach and panted heavily. They had narrowly escaped death just now.

A small figure swam over amidst the waves in the distance. Although it was shaking from the impact of the waves, it was still determined to swim towards the island.

Xia Muqing only noticed it when she heard its squeaks.

“Gungun!” she exclaimed in surprise.

She asked Radiant Sun to bring Gungun and the others away first. She didn’t expect Gungun to follow her. She quickly got up and lifted Gungun up from the waves.

She really had no idea how it managed to survive.

Gungun’s fur was soaked, and there were wounds on its skin that had been caused by the waves. It looked very pitiful.

Gungun hugged Xia Muqing’s arm and said, “Master, how could you abandon me?”

Xia Muqing didn’t know what to say for a moment. She looked at Gungun and then at Jin Chao beside her. She smiled gently. It felt good to have them with her.

The two humans and a beast set foot on the path to explore the island.

They needed to find tools on the island to help them to go out to the sea. Then they had to think of a way to contact Radiant Sun and the rest.

Xia Muqing surveyed the terrain and quickly found a water source. It was different from seawater, as they needed fresh water.

Looking at Xia Muqing, who seemed to act rather comfortably on the island, Jin Chao asked, “Have you lived on an island before?”

Xia Muqing shook her head. “I have lived in the forest since I was young.”

Jin Chao’s eyes glinted as he stared at her back as she started a fire.

“Stop.” Xia Muqing found a pile of hay and lit it with the sun’s rays. This action attracted Gungun’s shrieks.

Jin Chao commented, “You are quite knowledgeable.”

Xia Muqing looked at him with an odd expression, feeling that there was something odd about his words.

Jin Chao smiled shyly and said, “I’ve never seen anyone starting a fire using this method.”

Xia Muqing then dispelled her doubts. “I read it in a book. Let’s dry our clothes first.”

Jin Chao took off his coat before he walked to the other side like a gentleman and offered her space.

Gungun lay comfortably beside the fire and stretched lazily.

At night, Jin Chao went to the beach to catch fish.. The two humans and the beast spent the day on the island.
