Chapter 1041
Even though Olivia was very familiar with the terrain, she had set out in such a hurry that she didn’t bring 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 experienced enough that she could grab onto sbranches along the way when she was falling.
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 at her grueshands. Of course, it hurt a lot, but she didn’t have tto lament it.
Her top priority was to get down the cliff and locate Ethan.
The longer the tpassed, 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOther 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 more than anyone else. She didn’t even bring proper equipment before departing, which was already a huge mistake.
Gritting her teeth, Olivia continued her journey. Even though there were a few minor episodes along the way, there was, fortunately, a very long vine in the last stretch of her journey. It allowed her to land safely.
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 was even darker.
If the sun was out, she would still be able to figure out the direction based on the shadow cast by the trees. 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, the temperature in the valley would lower. Without dry clothes, her body would quickly lose heat.
If she encountered screepy 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 washed away all traces of him.
Olivia stood under the shade of the trees. Her body was already drenched a long tago. She stared at the various vegetation, stunned. For sreason, 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 not love 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 made preparations 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 too hard 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 sbeast crying in the distance. It sounded like a boar.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was mating season for the boars, and boars that had their younglings with them were the most ferocious 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 wrapped its body around the boar.
The boar was strong, and it rammed into trees with the python on its body. It was trying to knock the python off of it.
Olivia, who had accidentally barged onto the scene, was quite unlucky. The boar was charging in her direction.
Olivia reacted quickly. She swiftly took out her gun and shot at the boar. She wanted to scare the boar into changing directions.
There was a loud bang. The boar didn’t get hit, but the python on its body was shot instead. The boar was 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 boar couldn’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’s head.
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.”
