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 svines and you can soon cup."
"Don’t go, Nina," | shouted upward.
Nina asked a little curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I'm in trouble.” | was more or less in despair. "I don't know if it’s soil or sand under my feet. | can't reach the
bottom. | can feel myself sinking."
"How could it be?" Nina panicked as well." What should we do?”
| took a deep breath and forced myself to
calm down.

After thinking about it, | quickly said," Calm down, Nina. Keep looking for vines and shout for help as you do so. |
think I can still hold on a little longer."
As | spoke, my mind raced to recall which direction | had stepped in that the soil beneath my feet began to
soften.
After | remembered, | used the branch to poke at the spot | stood earlier and felt solid ground. | was relieved.
Next, | relaxed my body as much as possible as | would sink slower that way.
At this moment, a few more strikes of thunder rang in my ears, followed by raindrops.
| grew somewhat desperate by now. Even if | could get out of the soil, there was no way | could climb out of this
pit. | would still be i n danger if water accumulated in the pit. The worst-case
scenawas a landslide. | might even put Nina in danger.
Nina cback and said while sobbing, "I couldn't find any vines. They're all branches. It has started to rain
now. What should | 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.
| refused to sit and wait to die. | could only take a gamble. It would depend on my fate whether | would win or
lose in the gamble.
| took a deep breath and stuck the branch into the slightly solid part of the soil. | exerted all my strength to push
my body out of the soft soil.
| was still in a state of fear up until the moment my butt touched the ground.
The thunder was loud, and | 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.
| 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, | accidentally fell.
It was quite impossible forto climb out by myself when it was not raining, let alone now that it was raining so
heavily.
Just when | was at a loss at what to do, Nina's shout entered my ear. "Can you hear me, Wanda?
“Someone is here. We'll cdown and save you right away. Don't worry.”
My heart was filled with delight as | quickly answered, "I can hear you. Be careful when you cdown."
Afraid that the person who cdown would sink into the soft soil, | shouted again, "Take a torchlight with you «
when you cdown. There are places down here where the soil is soft and causes you t o sink in."
