Chapter 1041
Even though Olivia was very familiar with the terrain, she had set out in such a hurry that she didn’tbring all the necessary equipment. There was no signal in the mountains either.
She was now stuck between a rock and a hard place. She could not turn back now.
The rocks were slippery, and she slid downward countless times. Fortunately, she was experiencedenough that she could grab onto some branches along the way when she was falling.novelbin
Because of the forceful tugging, her hands were covered in blood. It was a terrifying sight.
It truly wasn’t her day today. She kept encountering misfortunes one after the other.
Standing on a small tree, Olivia paused and took a few breaths. She opened her palms and glanced ather gruesome hands. Of course, it hurt a lot, but she didn’t have time to lament it.
Her top priority was to get down the cliff and locate Ethan.
The longer the time passed, the further she would be from Ethan. The forest was quite complicated,after all. They were in a place where they had no way of contacting each other.
Other than a dagger and a gun, Olivia didn’t have any supplies.
She realized that she was more worried about Ethan than she imagined.
People often didn’t mean what they said. She claimed to hate him, but she was worried about him morethan anyone else. She didn’t even bring proper equipment before departing, which was already a hugemistake.
Gritting her teeth, Olivia continued her journey. Even though there were a few minor episodes along theway, there was, fortunately, a very long vine in the last stretch of her journey. It allowed her to landsafely.
As the storm poured, the ancient forest looked extra creepy.
When it was sunny, the sunlight above her would be blocked. Now that it was raining, the place waseven darker.
If the sun was out, she would still be able to figure out the direction based on the shadow cast by thetrees. But now, Olivia was in a terrible situation.
Logically speaking, she should find refuge in places like these as soon as possible. After the rain, thetemperature in the valley would lower. Without dry clothes, her body would quickly lose heat.
If she encountered some creepy crawlies that bit her, she would be done for.
But Olivia was still worried about Ethan, so she couldn’t be bothered to rest.
Ethan started two hours earlier than her, so when he landed, it hadn’t rained yet. The rain had washedaway all traces of him.
Olivia stood under the shade of the trees. Her body was already drenched a long time ago. She staredat the various vegetation, stunned. For some reason, she felt wronged.
What was she doing? Why would she place herself in such a situation?
Last time, in the snake den, she dashed toward Ethan without care for anything else. Did she truly notlove him, like she had claimed?
She thought, “Ethan, where would you be?”
Olivia was out of ideas, so she had no choice but to head north first. Ethan must have madepreparations before leaving, and the exit was in the north.
The rain grew heavier, and Olivia picked up pace.
If Ethan was headed north, now that the rain was pouring, he would find refuge first. It wouldn’t be toohard for Olivia to find him. She would be glad as long as he was alive!
When she thought that, her feet gathered more strength.
She heard some beast crying in the distance. It sounded like a boar.
It was mating season for the boars, and boars that had their younglings with them were the mostferocious of all. Could it be that Ethan…
Olivia hastily ran forward.
When she drew closer, she realized that it was a boar fighting with a python. The python had wrappedits body around the boar.
The boar was strong, and it rammed into trees with the python on its body. It was trying to knock thepython off of it.
Olivia, who had accidentally barged onto the scene, was quite unlucky. The boar was charging in herdirection.
Olivia reacted quickly. She swiftly took out her gun and shot at the boar. She wanted to scare the boarinto changing directions.
There was a loud bang. The boar didn’t get hit, but the python on its body was shot instead. The boarwas startled, but it didn’t change direction. Instead, it ran right at Olivia.
“Watch out!”
Before Olivia could react, the boar took a few shots on its legs. With its legs broken, of course, the boarcouldn’t keep running. It crashed to the ground because of the inertia.
Because of its great speed, it began rolling like a ball, dragging the python with it.
A figure moved even quicker. With a sharp dagger in their hands, the person slashed at the python’shead.
In the blink of an eye, both the boar and python were taken care of.
A pair of thick-soled Martin boots arrived in front of Olivia. The man’s face was streaked with blood,which made him look even more valiant. He slowly crouched down.
There was a complicated look in his eyes, which Olivia couldn’t figure out. “Liv, you shouldn’t be here.”
