Chapter 876: Danger Rose Again
Jiang Xuecheng’s figure was partially facing the light. His entire body was dripping with seawater, and his hair stuck to his cheeks, making him look extremely wretched.
But at that moment, Jiang Xuecheng’s face facing the light was the most beautiful appearance Su Wan had ever seen in her life!
He was not dead, that was enough!
It was worth celebrating more than anything else!
Tears welled up in Su Wan’s eyes. Her body quivered, and her eyelids twitched for a while. Then, she couldn’t help but swim toward Jiang Xuecheng.
“Jiang Xuecheng, are you okay?”
Jiang Xuecheng smiled at Su Wan and shook his head. Perhaps it was because he had soaked in too much seawater, but his clear and steady voice had become a little hoarse.
“Wan Wan, I’m fine. I remember that the deserted island is just to the east of this. Wan Wan, is your physical strength okay?”
At this time, it was useless to say no!
No one could save them!
Su Wan nodded resolutely at Jiang Xuecheng. Her eyes were filled with worry for this man.
“I’m fine. How are you?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s physical fitness had always been much better than hers. However, he had actually emerged so late just now. Su Wan was really afraid that Jiang Xuecheng would be seriously injured.
Hearing Su Wan’s question, Jiang Xuecheng felt a slight warmth in his heart.
It turned out that the feeling of being cared for by his sweetheart was so good.
However, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan did not have the time to be affectionate. The most important thing at this moment was to find a place for both of them to settle before their physical strength was completely exhausted.
“Wan Wan, I’m fine too. Shall we start swimming over now?”
Su Wan nodded at Jiang Xuecheng.
Jiang Xuecheng was leading the way, and Su Wan followed his figure as they swam in that direction.
It was indeed a very close island. After about ten minutes, Su Wan saw the small island.
From the looks of it, she and Jiang Xuecheng would be able to swim to the island that was less than a hundred meters away!
Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, she felt even more relieved that the weather was good. The sun was shining brightly and the sea water was not surging wildly. Otherwise, the chances of her and Jiang Xuecheng surviving were slim.
“Jiang Xuecheng, we will be able to reach the shore soon!”
Su Wan turned her head excitedly and looked at Jiang Xuecheng.
However, when she turned her head, Su Wan noticed that Jiang Xuecheng’s expression was so ugly. Previously, she was only happy that Jiang Xuecheng was still alive. Now, she realized that Jiang Xuecheng’s face was actually deathly pale!
Su Wan’s heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in her mind.
“Jiang Xuecheng, are you really okay? Just hold on a little longer, and we’ll be able to go ashore!”
Su Wan knew that Jiang Xuecheng had Dragon’s Blood, and his recovery was very strong. As long as they could reach the shore, she believed that finding some food would not be a big problem.
Even if victory was in sight now, none of them could drop the ball!
Jiang Xuecheng tried his best to shake his head at Su Wan, indicating that he was fine.
“Wan Wan, my leg hurts a little, but I can hold on for a little longer. Don’t worry.”
Leg?!
How could his leg be injured?
Su Wan felt a pang of pain in her heart. However, at this moment, she had no choice but to nod at Jiang Xuecheng and encourage him to survive.
They only needed a few more minutes to get through the most dangerous phase!
“Xuecheng, come on! We’ll be fine!”
At this moment, Su Wan felt that her vocabulary was so poor.
Jiang Xuecheng nodded slowly at Su Wan, then he spread his arms and swam forward.
Jiang Xuecheng had said that he was calm and collected, but the reality was much more than Su Wan had imagined.
Previously, on the cliff, he had almost protected Su Wan with all his strength. His palms and knees had been scraped until they were badly mutilated.
After he fell off the cliff, Jiang Xuecheng was not as lucky as Su Wan. He crashed into a reef.
Amidst the intense pain, he vaguely felt that his leg bones were probably broken.
He did not know how he managed to swim to the surface with his amazing willpower. He only wanted to see Su Wan and survive together with him.
Every second he swam, Jiang Xuecheng felt a piercing pain.
The sea water rushed over from all directions. His limbs and bones were in great pain. He could even feel the nauseating taste of blood in his throat.
It was most likely because he had injured his internal organs when he fell off the cliff.
He did not mention any of this to Su Wan.
In fact, he did not know exactly where he had been injured, but the situation was terrible. The only thing he could rejoice about was that he was still alive.
No matter what, he did not want Su Wan to worry for him.
Jiang Xuecheng raised his eyes and looked at the desolate island in front of him. He only felt that the green desolate mountain in front of him was constantly enlarging.
A smell of rust rose from Jiang Xuecheng’s throat. His body trembled and he coughed twice. He only felt the buzzing sound of electric current in his ears.
Not good!
Jiang Xuecheng realized that something was wrong. He was about to warn Su Wan about his condition, but in the blink of an eye, he felt like he could not control his soul.
Jiang Xuecheng’s vision turned black. His entire body was in great pain. The nauseating smell of rust in his throat was even more heart-wrenching.
Seawater poured in from all directions. The scenery in front of him distorted. In a trance, he could not even see Su Wan’s face clearly.
“I…”
Jiang Xuecheng opened his mouth. The world was spinning, and his consciousness was hazy.
Finally, the entire world was far away from him.
In the salty sea water, Jiang Xuecheng took two deep breaths with difficulty and fainted.
Because he was not trying hard to paddle, Jiang Xuecheng’s tall body suddenly fell straight down from the surface of the sea.
When Su Wan saw this terrifying scene, her red pupils suddenly dilated!
No!
Su Wan’s entire body trembled. She almost fainted because she was caught off guard. Su Wan was so scared that her mind almost went blank.
Fortunately, she remembered what this place was and what kind of situation they were in. Su Wan immediately reacted quickly and grabbed Jiang Xuecheng’s body.
Jiang Xuecheng was a 1.8 meters tall man. Even if he was thin, it was definitely not a weight that Su Wan could bear.
Su Wan took a few hard breaths. She was not a good swimmer to begin with, and it was harder for her to drag a grown man forward.
She did not know what kind of belief was supporting her.
The only thing Su Wan understood was that if she let go of the man in her hand, all her previous efforts would be in vain!
If she wanted to live, Jiang Xuecheng had to live as well.
Otherwise, what was the point of all those efforts?!
The seawater rushed into Su Wan’s eardrums and nasal cavities. Su Wan’s limbs trembled and she felt her entire body starting to go numb.
No, no!
In a few more meters, she would be able to bring Jiang Xuecheng to the beach of the deserted island!
It was just a deserted island that was so close in front of her. It was clearly not far, and Su Wan felt that it was so close that she could touch it, but she couldn’t touch it no matter how hard she tried…
