Afer looking at each other, Veronica and the masked man pinned their hopes on the
However, the tree was on the right side, which was also the masked man‘s side.
Veronica moved to the right, trying to give herself the opportunity to grasp the big tree as it might be her
only chance to survive. However, the masked man might become the biggest obstacle to her survival,
so she had to seize the opportunity.
The two moved to the right together, but just as they were about to reach the tree, the water surged fier
cely against them with even greater resistance. As both of them were on the right side, the thick woode
n pole suddenly tilted in the water and flowed downstream vertically, dragging them further away from t
he big tree horizontally all at once.
“You let go of the wooden pole. I‘ll grab you.” Veronica took the masked man‘s hand right away while te
lling him to
let go of the wooden pole and swim to the river bank. After all, even a bit of a struggle could buy them a
chance to survive. At this very moment, she had no other choice. Even if the chance of survival was sli
m, she had to shoot for it–even if the masked man might survive and kill
her by cutting the rope. I don‘t want to die! she thought.
With his eyes behind his mask, the masked man gave Veronica a meaningful look. Then, he let
go of her. The two had a rope tied between them. After letting go of Veronica, he struggled to swim to th
e right with all his might.
They were ten meters away from the big tree. Then, as the masked man swam closer and closer to the
tree, the distance between them and the big tree shortened. They were six meters away… three meter
s away… one meter away!The ten–
meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye. At this moment, however, the masked man was still
a distance away from the tree.
Veronica‘s nerves were on edge; she was very nervous, for she feared that they might miss the opportu
nity again. However, at the critical moment, the masked man suddenly took out a dagger and clutched i
t in his hand. Just when he nearly brushed past the tree, he suddenly thrust the dagger in his hand into
the tree trunk.
Immediately, Veronica let go of the thick wooden pole she was
clinging onto to prevent the strong current from sweeping the masked man away and ruining the last op
portunity to struggle for their survival.
The masked man cluiched the dagger to stay close to the tree. Even though Veronica had put pressure
on him, he nonetheless stretched out his arm and hugged the tree trunk Climbing onto the river bank lit
tle by little, he successfully got himself out of danger.
Veronica was still in the water, and she
grabbed the rope tied between her and the masked man while swimming toward him. However, the ma
n held up
the dagger in his hand. With a slight wave of his dagger, Veronica would be swept away by the river!
Veronica‘s heart was thumping; she had never been so desirous of staying alive as she was at this very
moment. Without saying a word, she continued swimming toward the masked man. However, just whe
n she was getting close to him, he thrust the dagger in his hand downward right away!
At that moment, Veronica‘s heart sank. She felt like she had seen Death. However, she refused to resig
n herself to death. At the last moment, she swam against the current with all her strength. Then, she stretched out her hand and tried to hug the tree trunk, but she had underestimated how strong
the current was. Instead of hugging the tree trunk, she was swept dozens of centimeters away from it!
Am I really gonna die here? A big question mark popped up in her mind.
Just then, however, the masked man grabbed her hand and pulled her up.
The two reached the river bank by climbing along the tree. Physically exhausted, they lay on the river b
ank, feeling so worn out that they didn‘t want to struggle anymore.
Just then, Veronica asked, “Why did you save me?” The moment the masked man thrust
his dagger downward, she thought he was going
to cut the rope and let her fall into the swift river current. To her surprise, the man
merely put away his dagger and pulled her out of danger.
The masked man didn‘t answer her question, though.
With that, the two lay on the river bank. After recovering their strength, they stood up and headed into t
he distance.
As they made their way
through the woods, the sound of the fiercely surging river water faded away in the distance. Everything
became quiet, and even the rain stopped.
The man was no longer stooping and limping as he had been before. Instead, he stood upright and wal
ked at a blistering pace like a normal person.
Veronica should‘ve found out long ago that this man‘s identity was dubious. However, she and the othe
rs had only decided to come to Dawnpol Village not long ago, and the masked man had been in the village before they arrived. Judging by the timeline, she felt that nothing could‘ve been wrong with
the masked man, but it turned out that she had underestimated him.
The masked man
ignored her as they merely kept walking on. However, there wasn‘t a soul in sight around them, so they
chose to climb up the mountain in the end. When they stood on the top of the mountain breathlessly a
nd looked around, they couldn‘t see anyone or any village except the thin haze that was curling upward
.
“The flood current was flowing at a velocity of at least 40 kilometers per hour,” Veronica said while raisi
ng her hand to check the time on her wristwatch.
Five hours had passed since she woke up in the morning. It took about half an hour to reach the river b
ank from the village chief‘s house, whereas it took an hour for them to get to the mountain from the rive
r. In other words, after falling into the water, they had held out for three and a half hours. This meant the
y were already 140 kilometers away, which was a very long distance.
Veronica was unfamiliar with the geographical environment around here, so she was somewhat at a los
s for what to do for a moment.
The rain, which had just stopped, continued again, but Veronica felt weak all over, and she
walked weakly. She looked down at her right arm, which had a scary big cut that turned pale and swelle
d up after being soaked in water. Her wrist had a cross shaped cut in order to draw out the venom after
she got bitten by a snake while saving the masked man last time. The wound had slowly healed, but th
e scabs had fallen off after the wound was soaked in water.
Veronica‘s arm hurt very much, but there was nothing for her to reduce the inflammation at the moment
. What she feared the most was that the wound might fester. She tied her clothes around her wrist, but it wasn‘t good to do so since it had been raining all the time. Having no alternative, she ignored the wou
nd and let it be,
The masked man
took a glance at Veronica‘s wound without saying a word as he headed toward the foot of the mountain.
Veronica followed the masked man as they went all the way down the mountain. After walking for some

Veronica slowly closed her eyes. She neither struggled nor said anything, for she knew that the
masked man would‘ve killed her long ago if he wanted to. Why would he wait until now instead? =_=)
Thud! With a sudden thud, the masked man thrust his dagger into the tree behind Veronica. “I’ll let you o
