“We’re so lucky,” Willow said happily, turning her head to look at Jasper. Jasper nced at the time,


    then looked up at the nearly nine-foot-high opening. “It’s gettingte.”


    “Are we able to climb up?” asked Willow. The pit was too high, and the soil above was soft. There was


    no way to climb out of thisrge pit. “It looks like we’ll have to spend the night here.” Jasper sighed.


    “We’ll have to wait for rescue.”


    Willow nodded. “Alright, we’re not in a hurry either. I have water, biscuits, and even a mat!” Then, she


    took out amunication device. “Strange. Why isn’t there any response? Where did the signal go?”


    Jasper also noticed that the time on his watch was disyed wrongly. It seemed like the maic field


    had gone berserk as they entered the cave.


    “There must be something affecting the maic field here. That is why we can’t contact the outside


    world,” Jasper said calmly. Willow looked surprised. “Does this mean something is going on in this


    tomb?”


    The tomb behind them was also covered in soil, revealing only a few faintly visible murals and nearby


    stone stumps. Jasper didn’t want her to stay here. He jumped up and touched a stone, but it soon


    copsed, causing him to step back to avoid the falling rocks Willow grabbed his arm and said, “Stop it.


    Let’s wait for the rescue team to arrive! This ind isn’t that big, so they’ll surely find us soon.”


    Jasper had no choice but to stay in the cave with her. He didn’t mind the surroundings, but he was


    worried about Willow and couldn’t bear to see her suffer.


    There was still some lighting into the cave, so it wasn’t too dark. Jasper cleared a clean spot while


    Willow spread out a surprisingly. clean mat. Then, she rummaged through her. bag and took out a


    bottle of water. “We only have one bottle of water left.” “You drink it first.”


    “I’m not thirsty. You drink it.” Willow gave the water to him. “I’m not thirsty either.” Jasper refused since


    he wanted to keep the water for her.


    I’m not thirsty either,’ Willow replied truthfully. After all, she had just drank water before climbing down.


    Then, she continued taking photos of the surroundings. After some examination, she was certain they


    had indeed. found the tomb they were looking for.


    As darkness fell, the cave gradually became pitch ck. Jasper took out a shlight and shone a small


    area around them. Still, the rest was inplete darkness. A sense of fear rose within Willow, and she


    subconsciously moved closer to Jasper, snuggling up against him. Sensing her fear, Jasper pulled her


    into his embrace andforted her. “Jasper, can you tell me something about yourself?”

    “What do you want to know?” Jasper’s deep voice resonated in the quiet space. In such a serene


    ce, Willow found his voice captivating as she listened to him speak. It was as if his voice was the


    sound of a cello, calming her nerves.


    “Anything will do,” Willow replied, simply wanting to hear his voice. She curled up like a small animal,


    nestling in his embrace entirely.


    Jasper lowered his head and saw her in his embrace. Her soft and plump face rested against his arms


    as she looked at him with clear eyes. In that split second, Jasper’s mind went nk, forgetting what he


    wanted to say. He was captivated by her beauty.


    On the other hand, Willow was still waiting to hear his story. Yet, Jasper was looking at her. with his


    dark pupils. His eyes emitted a glow as if trying to look through her.


    The atmosphere was so quiet that the sound of Jasper gulping became unusually clear. Willow blinked


    and reached into her bag. Then, she handed him the bottle of water and said, “Are you thirsty? Have


    some water!”
