章節 1059: Chapter 1058: Going Around in Circles

Liu Sisi was still threading her way through the mountain forest.

The initial frantic sprint had drained her strength significantly, and by now she was already gasping for air, her legs felt as if they had been filled with lead, moving a single step exhausted all her strength.

Sweat poured down her face as her already soaked clothes, chilled by the mountain breeze, had no chance to dry before becoming drenched again.

Suddenly, she stumbled, tripped over a protruding tree root, and fell to the ground. Struggling a few times to no avail to get up, she eventually gave up and flopped onto her back, sprawling out and gasping for breath heavily.

She couldn't walk another step.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps approached rapidly from ahead, closing in on her location.

Liu Sisi was startled and quickly scrambled to hide behind a big tree.

It wasn't her fault, after all. How could she have the energy to escape at the moment?
