Chapter 101: Chapter 100 You Just Know How to Poke My Heart

What’s the likelihood of escaping alive from a horde of venomous snakes, nine deaths and one survival chance, enough?

Gazing at the mass of serpents coiling in front of her, tongues flicking coldly, Su Shu thought about the very situation Tang Zelin and the others had faced yesterday.

An involuntary chill rose from the depths of her soul, filling her limbs and overwhelming her heart with fear.

That they could escape from such a predicament was beyond her imagination.

Then she remembered, Tang Zelin had used himself as bait to save the other villagers, nearly dying in that gaping fissure. Supporting Tang Zelin with trembling hands.

If they had arrived just a bit later, or if he had been any less careful, would she have continued to miss him in this life?

Tang Zelin, oblivious to why the slender hand on his arm suddenly pressed down hard, winced in pain but bit back the discomfort.

“Sorry, did I hurt you?”

Su Shu apologized, coming back to her senses.

Tang Zelin: “It doesn’t matter.”

Silence from behind.

If he could turn around, he would definitely want to see who was the girl behind him.

The girl’s voice was sweet; he felt sure he had heard it somewhere before, or else where would that faint sense of familiarity come from?

From behind, a soft fragrance wound around him, Tang Zelin quietly took a deep breath and silently stifled the unsteady emotions rising within him.

For a grown man like him, relying on a woman’s embrace was quite unsettling.

“Miss, I’m fine, you can let me go; it must be very hard for you.”

“It’s not hard,” came a soft reply from behind.

“Wait a moment, once the situation gets out of control, run immediately and don’t look back.”

“And you?”

With a faint smile, Tang Zelin said, “With half a life left, I should be able to buy you some time. It’s better for one to die than for a group. If you manage to escape, please take care of my brother for me.”

Yuan Xiao, who had been saved after a long stretch of persistence, had already passed out due to relaxation as soon as he was rescued, unaware of the surroundings and what was happening.

Su Shu turned her head to look at the young and handsome man who had been rescued first; his complexion was somewhat dark.

Tang Zelin, you really know how to jab at my heart. Are the lives of others something precious, but your own is just cannon fodder?

“I only care about whether you live or die, I have no interest in others, mind your own life.”

“You…”

Suddenly choked by a response, did he really want to see who the girl behind him was?

He went through all the women he knew in the vicinity and still couldn’t recall who would come to Peng Village to save him.

And, as if on purpose, the girl behind him refused to show her true face.

At this point, he still didn’t realize the person behind him was making a fuss, and he still considered himself a group captain leading warriors.

Although he didn’t know who the girl behind him was, he was sure of one thing: she definitely knew him.

Today, he didn’t know if he could escape once again from the snakes, but the gentleness behind him suddenly softened his heart, which was as hard as stone.

Zhao Kang and all the warriors were tense, ready to confront the snakes or to flee at any moment. If it weren’t for the four injured they had to carry, it would be one thing, but with them, escaping was very difficult. Any movement could dramatically increase the chance of direct confrontation.

After surveying the terrain and determining a retreat path, and under the watchful eyes of the encircling snakes, Zhao Kang’s forehead was sweating as he repeatedly simulated the odds of a successful escape route in his mind.
