After Chu Jin finished speaking, he stood on the head of the giant python, patiently waiting for Shang Qi to throw the rope.
After a while, he actually saw the life-saving rope being thrown.
He had only one thought in his mind: he had to grab the life-saving rope.
Shang Qi and Su Ling's lives were in his hands, and he could only succeed, not fail.
Because of this thought, Chu Jin was focused. As soon as the life-saving rope was thrown up, he quickly reached out to grab it.
Thank heavens, he succeeded in grabbing the life-saving rope, and he was so happy he was speechless.
But he also knew the situation inside the giant python's body, so he wasted no time. After grabbing the life-saving rope, he jumped down towards the giant python's body.
As he jumped down, he stumbled and fell onto the scorched ground.
After falling, Chu Jin quickly got up and then ran towards the nearest large tree. He tightly wrapped the life-saving rope around the tree and then shouted, "It's done!"
He was afraid he hadn't tied the life-saving rope properly, so he didn't dare to leave. He directly tied a part of the extra life-saving rope around himself.
He had decided to live and die with Shang Qi and Su Ling.
After Chu Jin shouted, he stood at the foot of the tree, waiting, his hands tightly gripping the life-saving rope, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
At this moment, Shang Qi and Su Ling, who were inside the giant python's body, confirmed that Chu Jin had secured the life-saving rope. Shang Qi looked at Su Ling, "A Ling, you go up first."
Su Ling hummed, grabbed the life-saving rope, and climbed up quickly.
When Su Ling climbed up and stood on the head of the giant python, she looked down. Shang Qi was already holding the life-saving rope.
Chu Jin, seeing Su Ling standing on the giant python's head, was ecstatic. If it weren't for the important task of holding the life-saving rope, he would have already run towards the giant python's head and cheered from below.
He was just so happy!
So incredibly happy that his best friends were safe and sound, he was deeply moved!
In a short while, Chu Jin saw Shang Qi. He stood beside Su Ling.
Putting his arm around Su Ling's waist, he embraced her and then leaped, lightly jumping down from the giant python's head and landing steadily.
Watching their graceful and agile figures, Chu Jin's mouth twitched. He remembered how he had stumbled and fallen like a dog eating dirt when he jumped down.
Dropping the life-saving rope, Chu Jin ran towards the two of them. He was so moved that he wiped the tears of blood from his eyes and looked at them, "Thank heavens, you two are safe and sound. My heart, which has been suffering, can finally be at peace."
Shang Qi released Su Ling and looked at the bloodstains on Chu Jin's eyes that he hadn't wiped clean. He rarely teased anyone, "Are you... crying?"
Chu Jin was still immersed in the joy of Shang Qi and Su Ling's safety. Hearing Shang Qi's words, he paused, his steps faltered, and he almost stumbled like a dog eating dirt again.
If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have slid to his knees in front of them for a kowtow.
Chu Jin didn't feel embarrassed. He looked at Shang Qi and Su Ling, "Damn it, I thought you two were goners. I was outside, my throat was hoarse from shouting, and my hands were bloody and mangled. You didn't respond, so how could I not cry?"
"I was truly scared to death. I was really afraid you two would die in the snake's belly, and if anything happened, I really wouldn't be able to explain myself to them..."
As he spoke, Chu Jin felt lingering fear, and his eyes started to redden again.
Su Ling, seeing Chu Jin about to cry again, asked at the right time, "Are you hungry?"
Chu Jin had intended to say he wasn't hungry, but his stomach was very uncooperative and let out a rumble.
Su Ling's lips curved slightly. She drew her Tang dao, turned, and sliced off a piece of meat from the giant python, which had been perfectly roasted by the phoenix's fire. She then turned with the meat and handed it to Chu Jin.
Fearing that Chu Jin might not like the taste, she thoughtfully handed him a packet of five-spice chili powder!
