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 soone 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?”


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    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 rxed 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 umted in the pit. The worst-case


    scenario was andslide. 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.


    Therge pit in the forest was probably left behind after the vigers'' coal mining activity. When they


    started filling up the pit after that, this pit was notpletely filled. Coupled with the higher ground,


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


    copse into a pit.


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


    night where it was impossible t o see anything underneath my feet, I identally 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’lle 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 youe


    down."


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


    torchlight with you when youe down. There are ces down here where the soil is soft and


    causes you t o sink in."
