The Dominance of the Son-in-Law: My Wealthy and Beautiful Wife

Chapter 419 - 419: Cold Water!

"I already said, you guys simply can't withstand the cold energy here." Qin Feng remarked from the side, "The water here might not be frozen over, but it possesses even more cold energy than ice; ordinary people can't stand it at all."

"Cut, cut your bullshit, am I, am I an ordinary person per-per-perhaps..."

Wu Shijie stuttered in defiance.

Then,

he took a deep breath and dove underwater, trying to find the entrance.

However, having dived quite deep, he couldn't make out where the entrance was; if he kept this up, he would freeze to death alive.

Helpless,

he quickly returned to the shore, shivering uncontrollably, curled up, barely able to speak coherently.

Professor Ma and the others hurried to cover him with clothes and lit torches to warm him; it took a while before he started to recover somewhat.

"It's impossible, it's too, too deep, and cold, I just can't find the entrance."

Wu Shijie continued to shiver as he spoke.

Hearing this, everyone sighed to themselves.

If even he couldn't make it across, then nobody could.

"I'll say it again, go back! This really isn't the place for you guys," Qin Feng said once more.

Everyone fell silent.

Wu Shijie, discontented, retorted, "You talk as if you could make it, diving into such cold water. I can last for a few minutes at least because I'm not you. I bet you couldn't last even three seconds."

Qin Feng couldn't be bothered to deal with him and simply reiterated his advice.

If they had no other options, they would leave of their own accord.

Qin Feng stretched his limbs, preparing to jump into the water.

Seeing this, Wu Shijie scoffed, "Even I, the swimming champion, failed, and you dare to try? You really are asking for trouble. If you can make it in, I'll be your grandson! I'll call you Grandpa every day!"

"Haven't you called me that before?" Qin Feng glanced at him indifferently.

"You..."

Wu Shijie's face turned purple with rage.

Qin Feng had no intention of tangling with such a trivial character and "plop", he jumped into the water.

"Hmph! He won't last five seconds; he'll definitely come freezing back up!"

Wu Shijie said.

But unexpectedly,

ten seconds, twenty seconds passed, and there was still no reaction.

Everyone couldn't help but start to worry.

It was so dark here, so cold, and what if there was something in the water?

"Nothing bad has happened, has it?" Xiao Zhang became anxious at this moment.

Seeing the situation, Lin Xue'er's brow furrowed, and without waiting for everyone to dissuade her, she also "plop," jumped into the water.

Upon entering the water,

a bone-chilling cold overwhelmed her, causing her body to lose control.

Enduring the penetrating icy cold, she desperately swam downward.

Just as she could no longer hold on and was about to pass out, suddenly someone hugged her; it was Qin Feng!

In an instant,

she immediately felt a warm breath!

No doubt.

It wasn't an illusion, nor was it her imagination.

It was real warmth!

This warmth emanated from Qin Feng's body.

Very quickly.

Qin Feng, holding her, "whoosh," emerged from the water.

Professor Ma and the others were relieved when they saw this and hurriedly said, "Hurry, come up quickly! Don't go down again!"

At this moment, Wu Shijie burst into laughter, "Hahaha, I told you that you wouldn't make it, you ended up coming back up after all! Hahaha..."

While laughing, he noticed everyone looking at him with disdain.

No helping it.

He had previously said that Qin Feng wouldn't come up within ten seconds...

Qin Feng, on the other hand, completely ignored him, didn't go ashore, but instead threw a large pile of plump fish onto the bank, saying, "Freshwater fish, there were some in that puddle before. Take these with you and ration them, you should be able to hold out until you get out."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was confused.

It turned out he had been underwater for so long to find food for them.

Moreover, it seemed he was planning to continue!

"And you, what are you doing? It's too dangerous, you should go up too!" Qin Feng said to Lin Xue'er.

"No, I'm not leaving! Take me with you!"

Lin Xue'er clung tightly to Qin Feng.

Seeing this, Wu Shijie on the shore was green with jealousy.

There was nothing he could do.

Lin Xue'er's figure was too stunning, especially now, wet and holding onto Qin Feng, it was simply envy-inducing.

"Stop it, I..."

Qin Feng was trying to persuade her again.

But Lin Xue'er continued, "If you don't take me, I think none of them will give up. This is also my job. If we get blocked by this gate and can't enter, even if we go back, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"

Seeing her serious expression, Qin Feng sighed and said, "Alright! I'll take you."

"Yay!!"

Lin Xue'er, excited, gave him a kiss on the cheek, then turned to Professor Ma and the others, saying, "Professor, maybe you should go back first! Leave this task to me. I'll bring something back for your research. Staying here is very dangerous for you."

"Yes."

Qin Feng also added, "As far as I know, there will be many more people coming here. Think about how you archaeologists are seen in their eyes. Do you think you can win? Go back! You're just wasting time here anyway." Need character sheets and glossaries? Visit *.

Lin Xue'er continued to persuade Professor Ma, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang, and the others.

In the end, Professor Ma could only reluctantly agree, with tears in his eyes, urging her to be careful.

"Then, goodbye!"

Lin Xue'er waved to them, and then she dived back into the water with Qin Feng.

Once the water's surface became calm, Professor Ma sighed heavily and said, "Ah, it has come to this; we can only rely on Xue'er now. Let's go too! Having been in the desert for so long, I believe you all are also struggling to endure. While we still have the strength, we should head back."

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang nodded.

Although they hadn't been injured on the way, it was hard for them to keep going in such a desert environment.

If it weren't for their commitment to archaeology.

They wouldn't want to stay here a minute longer.

After packing up their things.

They were ready to leave when they saw Wu Shijie sitting there motionless. They said, "Team leader, why aren't you leaving?"

"I don't believe they'll find the entrance. I've tested the water; it will freeze people to death. They'll definitely come back up!" Wu Shijie said, unconvinced.

Professor Ma sighed, "Xiao Wu, is it that hard to admit someone is stronger than you?"

"..."

Hearing this, Wu Shijie's heart felt as if it was being pricked by a needle.

There was no help for it!

He himself couldn't last underwater for more than a moment before having to come up.

Yet Qin Feng was able to catch fish under the water...

In his frustration.

He too had no choice but to get up and leave, thinking resentfully, "Hmph, you're from Lake City, aren't you? Wait until I get back to Yanjing, you'll see! I'll definitely get back at you for the humiliation I've suffered today, no, these past few days. I'll make you kneel and call me 'sir'!"

...

Underwater.

After swimming down to a depth of about ten meters, Qin Feng saw a huge archway.

Past the archway.

The two swam upwards towards the surface.

But who could have known.

Before they reached the surface, Lin Xue'er's flashlight revealed something floating in the water.

She reached out to take a look.

It turned out to be a human bone!

She was so frightened that she almost screamed.

At that moment.

Something touched her head, she instinctively reached out to brush it away, and when she turned back to look.

That object.

Turned out to be a human skull!

It still seemed to have some fresh blood on it, as if it had just been cleanly eaten...
