NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: Peril
"JAY!!! SHIN!!! HELP!!!" Zii shouted out in fear.
Jay and Shin looked towards the direction where Zii's voice came from. In an instant, their eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.
"Zii!"Both Jay and Shin shouted as they ran towards Zii. They saw Zii hanging over a cliff, with his hands grabbing only a tree branch that was as thick as 12 inches. Considering Zii's weight, it was unknown whether the tree branch could hold on any longer.
"Sh*t!" Jay said as his face became paler.
"Zii hold on! Don ́t let go!" Shin shouted as he didn't hesitate to lay on the dirt and reach for Zii's hand.
"Grab on!!!!" Shin shouted as he desperately reached for Zii but the gap was too wide. There was a half a meter gap between Zii and Shin.
"Sh*t sh*t! Jay what do we do??!" Shin shouted as he still tried to reach for Zii. Shin's shout woke Jay up from a shocked state. Jay started to make his mind work as he breathed deeply. In an instant, he ripped his polo apart into two and then told Shin to do the same.
"Quick! Tie them together!" Jay said. They were planning on making a rope. After Shin's shout woke him up, he inspected the surroundings and noticed that there was a tree a meter away from him.
"Sh*t Jay! It's too short!" Shin shouted in panic.
"Zii don't let go! F*ck!" Shin shouted.
"F*ck you both! Hurry up!" Zii said, fear was evident in his eyes.
"Jay what do we do??!" Shin asked in a panic.
"Stop talking!" Jay said as he quickly undressed. Shin noticed what Jay was doing and caught on instantly. He removed his clothes and tied them together. Jay tied them to the tree and Shin threw them towards Zii. They did all of these in a span of 2 minutes. Fortunately for them, the tree branch didn't break and Zii's athleticism was superb. Zii grabbed on the rope as Shin and Jay pulled him out of the cliff.
"You fool! Just what were you doing there huh?!" Shin shouted as the fear could still be seen in his eyes.
"Idiot!? I was f*cking blown away by the wind! That wasn't my fault at all!" Zii rebuked but his voice was still weak.
Jay looked at the two of them as he breathed a sigh of relief. Amongst the three of them Jay was the most calm but what he had experienced in his almost two decades of living paled far in comparison to the situation that they had just experienced.
"Hahahahahhahaha..." Jay laughed while cold sweat was still running across his back.Shin and Zii looked at Jay and they also couldn't help but laugh as well. "HAHAHAHA F*CK YOU ZII YOU WERE JUST A SINGLE HAIR AWAY FROM DEATH! FORTUNATELY YOUR GRANDFATHERS, ME AND JAY SAVED YOUR SORRY ASS!" Shin said as his voice reverberated across the sky.
"Thanks Master!" Zii said as he kneeled and kowtowed jokingly towards Jay and Shin. While the two of them were clowning around, Jay's gaze wandered around towards the direction where that boom came from.
"What's wrong Jay?" Shin asked.
"I wonder what that was..." Jay mumbled.
"Come on. Let's go see!" Zii suddenly suggested as he seemingly went back to his old self.
"Hmmm... Jay, what do you think?" Shin asked. He obviously wanted to take a look since he was also quite curious about just what had happened for such a huge explosion to occur. He admired Jay's intelligent ass. So he wanted to make sure that Jay approved of a decision that would perhaps bring them into more danger. He knew that consulting Jay first would be the right move.
Jay's brows were furrowed as he fell into deep thought.
"Let's go! Don't tell me I almost died for nothing!" Zii insisted. Hearing Zii's words, Jay nodded and said, "Let's go. I also want to see just what caused that huge boom".
