"Okay!" Nina shouted back.

Soon, the dark pit was lit up.

| stood rooted in the sspot, afraid to move. Seeing that the person who cdown was a man, | figured it

must be Jordan and said, "Be careful, Jordan.

There's soft soil in splaces that'll cause a person to sink in. You must be careful."

The man did not say anything. A rope was tied around his body. He held a torchlight i n one hand to shine the

path under his feet, and he used another hand to hold the wall for support to ctoward me.

The torchlight shone in my direction, so |

could not see Jordan's face.

| looked aroundand saw two slightly deeper pits. That was probably where | stepped earlier.

There were smud-covered shrubs around as well, most of which were tea trees. It seemed like | was right.

This place had just collapsed.

The rain grew heavier and | was completely drenched. Unsure if the ground underneath my feet was solid or not,

| tentatively took a few steps. Seeing that Jordan was very near to me, | said a little worriedly, "Be careful. Some

of the soil beneath is loose."

The man gave a light hum, and his voice madestunned.

He walked up to me, and | looked blankly at him. "Theo?"

For sreason, my taut nerves were suddenly relaxed.

Theo pursed his lips. His gaze was cool when he looked at me. "Are you disappointed because I'm not who you

were hoping to see?"

| was thoroughly impressed by how he was still able to teasein such situations.

| gently sighed and said, "Let's hurry up and go up. This place can sink again at any time."

He seemed much clearer about it thanand planned to pulland go. He raised his head to shout upward, "I

found her. Tie the rope around the tree.”

Nina's voice cfrom above. "Sure. I'll do that. Stay safe."

Later, Theo tied another rope around my

waist and said mildly, "Follow me.”

| nodded. "Okay."

Seeing that he was about to hold my hand, | subconsciously dodged it. "I'll follow you."

He glanced back atwith a calm gaze. It was hard to tell his emotions. "Be safe."

| followed behind him and trodded carefully. This was a 16-feet deep pit. It would not be that easy to climb up on

a rainy day.

The person on top should not be too near to the pit or would risk falling in, so that person could only stand a little

farther away from the pit to pull on the rope.

I had no strength, so it was simply impossible to pull myself up with the rope.

| fell after making several attempts. My body was covered with mud, makinglook extremely wretched.

Theo had good stamina, so it was not difficult for him to climb up there himself. However, it was a slight struggle

when he had to liftup with him.

At this moment, his clothes were drenched and covered with mud.

For sreason, | suddenly felt bad.

| slumped to the ground and felt discouraged, saying, "The rain is too heavy and this place will collapse anytime.

You g o ahead or both of us won't be able to make it out here.”

He frowned, looking atwith pitch-black eyes. His gaze was deep and dark. "If it were Jordan, then you

wouldn't be giving u p so easily, right?"

After falling silent for a few seconds, | said a little helplessly, "You think too much. Our priority now is to minimize

damage. If we both continue to stay here, then we'll both end up in trouble."

"I'm happy to do it,” Theo said coldly.

Having said that, he ignored my struggles and continued to dragupward.
