After roughly the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chen Wan was forced to keep retreating by the rapidly rising water level. She clutched Yuan Ming's White Ape Beast Skin and bronze longsword in her arms, with her back already pressed against the stone wall.
By now, the river water had filled the entire cave, and the water level had already reached Chen Wan's waist.
From anxiousness, her heart had turned to despair, and she couldn't help but think, "How could I be so foolish; he's not coming back..."
After all, that guy was just a Fur Beast Slave. Even if nothing had gone wrong and he really had found a way out, he wouldn't risk coming back to save her, since they were strangers met by chance, not related by blood or obligation.
It was laughable that when he left, leaving behind his Beast Skin and longsword, she had felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
