Lin Wu woke up first.
She was not injured by the explosion, but was briefly stunned by the loud noise, and when she woke up she felt a sharp pain in her head.
He opened his eyes and vaguely saw Bo Yuting and Kate not far away. Lin Wu pressed his head with his movable hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "We succeeded?"
The two seemed to come back to their senses.
Lin Wu felt that the way they stared at her was strange, and they spoke hesitantly.
"……possible?"
"What do you mean by possible?"
Lin Wu was puzzled and coughed a few times, trying to sit up, but just as she moved, she heard the obviously panicked voices of the two people.
"Don't move!"
"Wuwu, don't be in a hurry!"
"……?"
Lin Wu was confused. She saw the two men winking at her frantically, pointing at her and around her.
She lowered her head in confusion, took a glance, and was stunned for a moment.
There was a bloody tail wrapped around her waist. Although the surface was full of pits and the scales were incomplete, it was still clear that it was a snake's tail.
Looking to the side, it was the snake man who was either unconscious or dead.
Even the tip of his tail was hooked around her hand.
No wonder she felt so heavy and couldn't move her hands just now. She thought she was injured because she was too close to the explosion.
Wait, explosion...
Lin Wu looked at the snake man covered in wounds and was suddenly stunned.
She was very close to the explosion, and even if she had made a plan to dodge in an instant, she would still be seriously injured. It doesn't matter, as long as she is still alive. But now she has no injuries, but the snake man looks like...
She spoke in disbelief, and subconsciously lowered her voice: "It was this snake man... who saved me?"
It seemed that at the moment she lost consciousness, something rushed over and enveloped her, and she seemed to hear the sound of... something being thrown away? Bo Yuting and Kate also found it ridiculous.
Based on what they have seen so far, they have to nod: "Yes, you are fine and safe."
Lin Wu was at a loss: "But at that time he was chasing me and rushing towards me... Didn't he look like he wanted me dead and wanted to dig out my heart?"
Bo Yuting tried to think calmly and said uncertainly, "Maybe he also wanted to catch you and use his speed to take you away from the explosion source?"
Lin Wu's pupils trembled, and he was shocked.
Kate, who was also hit, said in a trembling voice, trying not to wake up the snake man, "Wuwu, try to break free of his tail and come over. Be careful."
This reminded Bo Yuting.
He trembled and said, "Yes, try to stay away from him. Regardless of whether he wants to protect you or not, you can't gamble on things that are uncertain. What if he still wants to do you..."
Bo Yuting didn't dare to say the following words.
The destructive power of the snake man was too strong. Even if he was injured like that, they could not guarantee that he had really lost his ability to move. At that time, as long as he had the intention to kill Lin Wu, Lin Wu would be in great danger.
Lin Wu calmed down and nodded.
She first put her hand under the snake man's nostrils and found that he was still breathing, but very weakly.
Still alive.
Lin Wu withdrew her hand, and gently moved the snake's tail back. As a result, the snake's tail immediately wrapped around her, even tighter than before.
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Bo Yuting's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and he immediately stopped Lin Wu, fearing that if Lin Wu continued, he might wake up the snake man, which could be even more dangerous.
Kate hissed and inadvertently glanced at the broken pieces of the cabinet in Bo Yuting's hand, and suddenly had an idea.
"Bo Yuting, let's find something to pry into the tail and support it on both sides. Let Wuwu try to see if it can come out this way."
Lin Wu looked at them, wanted to say something, and finally nodded.
So the two big men approached cautiously, their footsteps so light that they were almost inaudible. They each held a piece of the cabinet frame in their hands, and finally came to Lin Wu and slowly touched the snake's tail first.
The snake's tail curled up, but the snake man did not wake up.
The two men relaxed and slowly poked the broken piece between the snake's tail and Lin Wu's body. At the same time, they kept a close eye on the snake man's reaction and would stop as soon as the snake man showed signs of waking up.
During this process, perhaps because Bo Yuting and Kate touched the wound on the snake's tail, the snake man trembled with pain, and the tail loosened. They pushed the broken piece in at once and signaled Lin Wu to come out.
Lin Wu hummed, and moved back with his hands on the ground.
Finally, after nearly ten minutes, Lin Wu broke away from the snake's tail.
Bo Yuting and Kate quickly helped Lin Wu up, and the three of them walked away in light steps.
"Wait, where's Xiao Yang? I remember he's still in here." Kate remembered.
The three of them looked at each other, gestured to each other, and went their separate ways to look for people.
The explosion shattered the black coffin into pieces. After digging through a pile of broken funerary objects in the rubble, they found Xiao Yang, who was buried underneath and had fainted.
They pulled Xiao Yang up and gave him a quick check. They found that he had no missing limbs, just some cuts caused by sharp objects.
Kate squatted down and let Bo Yuting pull Xiao Yang onto his back.
The large movement woke Xiao Yang up a little. He opened his eyes dazedly and saw the three people. He cried subconsciously, "Too much... too much. I was hiding... fine... That damn snake man used his tail to throw the explosives... at me..."
Otherwise, he would be fine! Because the black coffin was so thick, it would definitely block him from such a long distance!
The three of them looked at each other in surprise.
So after the snake man protected Lin Wu under him, he realized that he was too close to the explosion source and took the risk of using his tail to shake it off? No wonder the wound on his tail was the most shocking.
No wonder the two of them were not killed in the explosion and had no problems.
The three of them couldn't help but fall silent.
Xiao Yang passed out again after mumbling something. They carried Xiao Yang on their backs, carefully stepped over the mess on the ground, and walked towards the door, wanting to leave.
Although they were not seriously injured by the explosion, they were still injured. Kate, who was carrying Xiao Yang on his back, was covered in cold sweat and his face was pale. Bo Yuting, who was supporting him, was not in much better condition. He staggered while holding his abdomen and breathing heavily.
Lin Wu said: "I'd better carry him on my back. I can do it."
Kate shook her head, "It's okay Wuwu, you're not needed."
Bo Yuting gave Lin Wu a forced smile and said, "It's just a minor injury, don't worry."
Lin Wu's face gradually darkened, and he could only help carry the bags and support Xiao Yang to reduce the weight for them.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Just as the three were about to reach the entrance of the tomb, there were suddenly loud "bang bang" noises.
The three of them paused and turned their heads abruptly.
The snake man actually woke up, and propped himself up with his tail trembling, staring at them with obvious anger on his face, and slid towards them quickly.
The snake's tail dragged a glaring trail of blood on the ground, and also cleared away the mess that was blocking its way.
"Oh no, he really wants to kill us after all!"
Several people's faces changed and they wanted to run but it was too late as the snake people were approaching them.
But given their current situation, taking action again would clearly be courting death. They were also carrying the unconscious Xiao Yang, and they would never be able to outrun the snake man.
In a flash, Lin Wu seemed to sense something and suddenly rushed forward. But she didn't intend to attack, but stopped suddenly and stretched out her hand to the snake man.
"Lin Wu!"
Bo Yuting and Kate's eyes narrowed, and they were about to go over, but the scene that happened next stopped them in their tracks, leaving them stunned in shock.
