Chapter 202: Chapter 144 I Can’t Protect You Again
"Murray, what happened?" lissa noticed sothing was wrong with Murray and asked with concern.
A wave of pain ca from the wound. Murray took a deep breath and forced himself to endure it. "I’m fine," he said with a smile.
"But..." lissa wanted to see what had happened to Murray, but she was stopped by him.
"No more talking. Preserve your energy." Murray placed his slender fingers on her lips and made a gesture of shushing.
"Are you alright?" lissa was still worried.
"Yes." Murray faintly uttered a single word and raised the corner of his lips. "Don’t waste the ti. Let’s hurry."
They swam in the direction of the island together.
Ti ticked by.
Murray was swimming towards the island with lissa, and he did not forget to look around to see if there were ships passing by.
Unfortunately, this part of the sea seed to be remote, and it had not been exploited yet.
There were no ships around.
Looking at the vast sea, Murray was lost in thought.
Back then, when his father drove a cruise ship to sea, he encountered great waves and was drowned.
He couldn’t make the sa mistake again.
He and lissa would definitely return alive.
Thanks to Murray and lissa’s efforts, they were getting closer to the island.
The sky turned bright, and the island gradually beca clear to lissa.
"lissa, we will be there soon." Murray encouraged lissa.
His pleasant voice seed to have driven away all lissa’s tiredness.
"Hold on. When we get to the island, we can have a good rest," lissa thought.
Seeing that they were getting closer to the island, lissa relaxed a little.
Suddenly, a huge wave hit them.
lissa and Murray were pushed back.
"Murray, isn’t there no wind? Where did the wave co from?" lissa asked doubtfully.
"lissa, retreat!" Murray said coldly.
"Huh?" lissa focused her eyes and saw that there was a big black thing swimming towards them.
The wave just now was caused by it.
lissa’s heart lurched. What was this?
A shark?
lissa exclaid in her heart. Why was she so unlucky?
Would she and Murray be killed in the sea?
lissa narrowed her eyes and took a closer look. It didn’t seem to be a shark.
She had never seen this creature before and did not know if it would attack.
"Murray, what kind of creature is this?" lissa stared at the big thing in front of her with nervousness.
"I don’t know," Murray said with a frown.
He took out a dagger from his backpack and untied the life jacket that was tied to lissa.
His tone was firm and unnegotiable. "lissa, hurry up and swim over there. The farther, the better!"
"No, we will face it together." lissa refused.
Murray looked nervously at the big creature in front of them and protected lissa behind him.
At that mont, the creature began to attack.
When it attacked, Murray got in front of lissa without hesitation.
He protected lissa with one hand and stabbed the creature with the other.
He was swiftly and skillfully stabbing the creature.
Murray did not hesitate to stab the weak points of the creature.
lissa did not just watch. She swam to the back of the creature and held its tail tightly.
After a long ti, the creature finally stopped moving.
"Murray, it is dead..." lissa only felt that the ti was so long and heaved a sigh of relief.
Murray, however, was silent.
lissa was shocked and swam forward.
Murray’s handso face was covered in blood.
"Murray, are you alright?" lissa’s heart sank as she asked with concern.
Murray had lost so much blood. Did sothing happen to him?
An unprecedented heartache drowned lissa.
Murray saved her regardless of everything again.
"I’m fine." Murray panted.
His voice was soothing enough to delight lissa’s sad heart.
"The blood..." lissa hugged Murray tightly.
It was great that he was fine!
Murray smiled and said softly, "That’s from the creature. It splashed on my face. lissa, I’m happy to see you care about
so much."
"I do care about you? I’ll wash you up." lissa glared at him.
lissa washed Murray’s face with seawater in lingering fear.
Only then did she realize that Murray’s face was exceptionally pale.
And his arm seed to be bleeding.
"What happened to your arm? It doesn’t look like the animal’s blood." lissa had just cald down for a short while, but she beca nervous again.
Murray shook his head, "It’s fine. Let’s go. It’s not safe here."
"Let
take a look." lissa insisted.
She checked Murray’s arm and found that he was in a bad condition.
The wound that resulted from the stabbing was torn again.
There was more. Although he had killed the big creature, Murray was injured.
Murray looked worse and worse.
lissa reached out to touch his forehead and found it scorching.
"Let’s hurry to the island." lissa thought for seconds to calm herself down.
Murray’s wound was inflaming. If he continued to soak himself in seawater, the consequences would be unimaginable.
She had to go to the island with Murray as soon as possible and bandage his wounds.
"Murray, hold on." lissa felt that Murray’s condition started to deteriorate.
Murray pursed his pale lips and broke out in cold sweat. "Sorry, lissa, I have worried you."
The battle had consud too much of his energy.
The wounds brought him more intensive pain as if they were being torn apart.
Murray wanted to use his strong willpower to suppress the pain and to continue swimming forward with lissa.
However, he already beca powerless.
He was burning, but the seawater was cold. Murray seed to be suffering in both ice and fire.
lissa supported Murray with one hand and tied their life jackets together with the other.
She didn’t hesitate to swim towards the island.
Murray, who was beside her, beca weaker and weaker.
"Murray, how are you?" lissa asked anxiously.
But he didn’t move.
lissa’s heart skipped a beat. She shook Murray’s arm, "Murray, wake up, don’t sleep!"
Murray struggled to open his eyes and look at her. "lissa, I’m sorry. I can’t... can’t protect you again."
