Chapter 1138

Nina did not know what was going on and said somewhat happily, "You’re really smart, Wanda. Wait

here. I'll go find some vines and you can soon come up."

"Don’t go, Nina," I shouted upward.

Nina asked a little curiously, "What’s wrong?"

"I’m in trouble.” I was more or less in despair. "I don't know if it’s soil or sand under my feet. I can't

reach the bottom. I can feel myself sinking."

"How could it be?" Nina panicked as well.' What should we do?”

I took a deep breath and forced myself to

calm down.

After thinking about it, I quickly said," Calm down, Nina. Keep looking for vines and shout for help as

you do so. I think I can still hold on a little longer."

As I spoke, my mind raced to recall which direction I had stepped in that the soil beneath my feet

began to soften.

After I remembered, I used the branch to poke at the spot I stood earlier and felt solid ground. I was

relieved.

Next, I relaxed my body as much as possible as I would sink slower that way.

At this moment, a few more strikes of thunder rang in my ears, followed by raindrops.

I grew somewhat desperate by now. Even if I could get out of the soil, there was no way I could

climb out of this pit. I would still be i n danger if water accumulated in the pit. The worst-case

scenario was a landslide. I might even put Nina in danger.

Nina came back and said while sobbing, "I couldn't find any vines. They're all branches. It has

started to rain now. What should I do?"

"What's taking Dazaray so long? She can’t actually be lost, can she?"

Nina was turning circles in a panic up there and did not know what to do.

At this moment, water started flowing into the pit, turning the soil even softer. My heart sank quicker

as well.

I refused to sit and wait to die. I could only take a gamble. It would depend on my fate whether I

would win or lose in the gamble.

I took a deep breath and stuck the branch into the slightly solid part of the soil. I exerted all my

strength to push my body out of the soft soil.

I was still in a state of fear up until the moment my butt touched the ground.

The thunder was loud, and I could hardly hear Nina's voice anymore.

The large pit in the forest was probably left behind after the villagers' coal mining activity. When they

started filling up the pit after that, this pit was not completely filled. Coupled with the higher ground,

the soil was almost completely washed away after several heavy showers of rain, which caused it to

collapse into a pit.

I would have been able to see such a large pit under normal circumstances, but on a pitch-black

night where it was impossible t o see anything underneath my feet, I accidentally fell.

It was quite impossible for me to climb out by myself when it was not raining, let alone now that it

was raining so heavily.

Just when I was at a loss at what to do, Nina's shout entered my ear. "Can you hear me, Wanda?

“Someone is here. We’ll come down and save you right away. Don't worry.”

My heart was filled with delight as I quickly answered, "I can hear you. Be careful when you come

down."

Afraid that the person who came down would sink into the soft soil, I shouted again, "Take a

torchlight with you when you come down. There are places down here where the soil is soft and

causes you t o sink in."
