31: Chapter 31: Trapped Within 31: Chapter 31: Trapped Within Thinking about her clothes could burn, Ouyang Feiting was startled by her own thought.
If she took off her outerwear, there wouldn’t be much left underneath.
However, seeing Wang Yan, back turned to her, trying his best to protect her, Ouyang Feiting hesitated again.
Ouyang Feiting anxiously scratched her head.
At this moment, Wang Yan shouted anxiously: “Is there anything else, the flame is about to go out!”
Ouyang Feiting looked up, indeed, the backpack was already burning up, leaving only one strap.
This time, urged again by Wang Yan, Ouyang Feiting gritted her teeth, steeling her resolve.
Seeing the flame in his hand gradually extinguishing, Wang Yan also felt disheartened, having no other way, he could only carry Ouyang Feiting and try to charge through the group of snakes.
Nonetheless, even if he could break through, he couldn’t guarantee Ouyang Feiting’s safety.
After all, these Golden Ring Snakes really seemed to have gone mad.
But at this moment, Wang Yan felt something handed to him from the platform behind.
Wang Yan took it casually, upon touching it, he immediately realized it was a piece of flammable fabric.
Wang Yan was overjoyed and immediately used the remaining flame to ignite these fabrics.
However, as the fabric ignited, a fragrance rose with the flame.
Wang Yan looked closely and immediately recognized that the burning pieces of fabric were indeed the clothes and pants from Ouyang Feiting’s body.
Wang Yan hurriedly turned to look.
He saw Ouyang Feiting curling up on the ground, her hands covering her chest, most of her body unshielded by clothes.
Wang Yan was stunned, suddenly feeling a rush of hot blood throughout his body, and his movements slowed slightly.
At this moment, a Golden Ring Snake leapt into the air, pouncing forward, seizing the moment while Wang Yan was distracted, and bit down on Wang Yan’s shoulder.
Wang Yan roared angrily, lifted his hand, grabbed the Golden Ring Snake, and flung it outside, instantly breaking its bones, leaving it limply on the ground.
Wang Yan’s hand weakened, and the burning flame fell to the ground.
Wang Yan leaped backward, landing on the platform, his body swaying as he sat heavily onto it.
Upon seeing Wang Yan bitten by the Golden Ring Snake, Ouyang Feiting was shocked, rushing forward to hold the fallen Wang Yan.
Seeing blood spurting from both nostrils of Wang Yan, Ouyang Feiting cried out: “Wang Yan, you cannot die, you cannot die.”
But Wang Yan’s eyes were half-closed, as if he didn’t hear Ouyang Feiting’s response at all. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
Ouyang Feiting shook Wang Yan, shouting: “Wang Yan, I lost, I lost, you mustn’t die!”
Yet, the blood from Wang Yan’s nose flowed even more, his eyes never opening.
On the verge of tears, Ouyang Feiting saw clear bite marks from the Golden Ring Snake on Wang Yan’s shoulder, with black blood continuously oozing out.
Ouyang Feiting knew, Wang Yan would soon be doomed, having saved her.
By this moment, to still selfishly pursue victory was just too self-centered.
Filled with guilt, Ouyang Feiting picked up a signal gun from the ground, aimed it at the sky, and pulled the trigger.
“Bang—” a red signal flare soared into the high sky.
Seeing the flare ascend, Ouyang Feiting felt like all her strength was drained, sitting numbly on the ground, murmuring: “Wang Yan, I lost, but you also died, by now it’s all too late, once the flame dies out, I’ll accompany you in death.”
Finished speaking, Ouyang Feiting held Wang Yan close in her arms, watching the dwindling flames and the restless Golden Ring Snakes, a desolateness playing on her face.
However, Ouyang Feiting didn’t notice that the wound on Wang Yan, bitten by the Golden Ring Snake, had already bled out all black blood, turning red.
At this moment, from within Ouyang Feiting’s embrace, Wang Yan said: “If I’m not dead, I’m about to be suffocated to death by you holding me.”
Ouyang Feiting hurriedly looked into her embrace, seeing Wang Yan’s eyes open, sharp and clear, showing no signs of injury.
Upon seeing Wang Yan unharmed, Ouyang Feiting burst into a smile through tears, saying: “How come you’re alright?”
Wang Yan said: “I’m lucky, almost died just now, but now I’ve recovered.”
It turned out, Wang Yan had diligently studied the Poison Scripture and possessed the Demon Pattern Divine Technique.
The energy contained in the Demon Pattern was the most miraculous energy between heaven and earth, though bitten by the Golden Ring Snake and dying within seven steps, Wang Yan used the power of the Demon Pattern during those seven steps to expel the snake venom.
Glancing at Wang Yan’s shoulder wound, indeed the blood had turned red, it seemed the venom had been expelled.
However, Ouyang Feiting curiously asked: “But why was your nose bleeding endlessly?”
Wang Yan chuckled bitterly, saying: “It’s because of you.”
Following Wang Yan’s gaze to herself, Ouyang Feiting couldn’t help but cry out, seeing herself wearing almost no clothes and Wang Yan still in her arms.
Suddenly, Ouyang Feiting pushed Wang Yan away, screaming and retreating backwards, curling into the ground, her arms covering in front of her, her pretty face flushed red, even her alabaster-like neck turned red.
Meanwhile, the yacht by the seaside was heading towards the small island.
Ouyang Feiting was startled, suddenly remembering her purpose, her expression turning cold: “Just now doesn’t count, the signal flare was fired to save you, so it doesn’t count as my loss.”
Wang Yan couldn’t help but shake his head, glancing at the snake group charging back in as the flame went out, he said calmly: “As the old saying goes: women have a demonic nature, indeed it isn’t wrong.
However, I’m worried that this little boat can’t sail onto the island.”
“Why?” Ouyang Feiting asked.
“Because the volcano is about to erupt.”
Before Wang Yan finished speaking, a sudden loud boom echoed, and the whole island started shaking violently.
Then, from the small mountain behind them, a rush of red-hot lava spewed out, flowing down the slope towards the foot of the mountain where Wang Yan stood.
Seeing the lava, the snake group immediately retreated like a tide.
Wang Yan rushed towards Ouyang Feiting, picking her up, placing her on his shoulder.
Ouyang Feiting was shocked, shouting: “What are you doing?”
Wang Yan leapt off the platform, dashing towards the shoreline, shouting as he ran: “Of course, running for our lives.”
Ouyang Feiting shouted: “You don’t need to carry me, I can walk myself.”
Wang Yan said: “You walking by yourself, you might have been consumed by lava long ago.”
Ouyang Feiting shouted: “Don’t underestimate me, I can run very fast.”
Yet as Ouyang Feiting spoke, she was suddenly stunned.
Because she saw Wang Yan had already reached an astonishing speed.
The trees on both sides retreated rapidly, they had turned into mere shadows due to the speed, eventually forming a continuous blur.
Very soon, Wang Yan overtook the fleeing snake group, stepping on them, leaving them far behind.
Since the snake group was also escaping, they didn’t bite Wang Yan.
Clinging onto Wang Yan’s shoulder, Ouyang Feiting watched as the lava engulfed everything behind them, the rampant snake group couldn’t withstand the impact of the lava, vanishing with just a few screams in the red-hot lava.
Seeing this, Ouyang Feiting finally understood: “So, Wang Yan could’ve escaped the snake group himself, he stayed completely to protect me.”
Thoughts in a tangle, Ouyang Feiting wondered: “Why?
Why did he protect me?
I’m just betting against him!
At this moment, Wang Yan saw the shoreline, and he also saw the yacht by the sea.
But upon seeing the yacht circle the shore a few times before turning, using full power, swiftly heading to the distance.
“Ungrateful thing.” Wang Yan cursed under his breath, yet seeing the entire deserted island could be submerged, there was no standing ground left.
If diving into the sea, such a wide distance, Wang Yan could swim back to Wanghai City, but what about Ouyang Feiting?
For the moment, with the sea in front, lava behind, Wang Yan and Ouyang Feiting were trapped in between.
