"Relay this ssage to our superiors." Captain Niu responded with a grim expression. It was his dereliction of duty. If Jiang Xue erged, he would inevitably be punished.
However, he did not bla Jiang Xue; he understood her feelings. At that mont, he also held onto a glimr of hope in his heart—that Jiang Xue would truly be unhard. For this, he silently prayed.
The ssage was dispatched quickly. anwhile, Jiang Xue was almost at the bottom of the cliff. As she jumped, she communicated with Little Fox, asking it to asure the height of the cliff for her and remind her to enter the space as she neared the bottom.
The descent was swift, and Jiang Xue’s speed was not slow. As they were about to land, Little Fox reminded Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue was prepared all along. As soon as Little Fox reminded her, she quickly touched her hand and entered the space.
At that exact mont, landing occurred, and the impact with the ground caused the space to tremble slightly. Fortunately, Jiang Xue had already entered the space; otherwise, she would certainly have been injured by the collision.
Consequently, Jiang Xue felt a bit fearful after entering the space but was also greatly relieved. Little Fox, seeing her state, wanted to say sothing but ended up saying nothing.
After entering the space, Jiang Xue rested for a while before asking Little Fox and the others, "Have you eaten anything yet?"
Little Fox shook its head and said, "Not yet, we’re waiting for you."
With Jiang Xue not around, neither it nor Big Tiger could roast at, so they waited with empty stomachs. Only Little Reunion had eaten bamboo marrow and was happily playing alone, still full.
"Okay, I’ll roast so at for us later. But first, I need to go out for a bit." Jiang Xue had not forgotten her promise to Captain Niu.
If she safely reached the bottom of the cliff, she would send him a ssage.
Jiang Xue exited the space with her phone and dialed Captain Niu’s number. However, the mountain already had poor signal, let alone at the bottom of the cliff.
The call couldn’t get through, making Jiang Xue a little anxious. Moreover, it was getting late, and she couldn’t clearly see what was down below.
Jiang Xue moved her phone to several positions until she finally got so signal. The call connected, and fearing the signal might drop, she quickly said, "Safely arrived; no need to worry" before hanging up. Captain Niu realized a mont later that the call was from Jiang Xue, and just as he was about to ask about the situation below, the call had already ended.
He tried calling back, but it couldn’t connect.
"Damn it, what’s going on? Why can’t I get through?" Captain Niu cursed under his breath, and unwilling to give up, called several tis more but still couldn’t connect, finally giving up and putting away his phone.
"Boss, what’s the situation?" the comrades asked, looking at Captain Niu.
"The missus only said one sentence before hanging up. I don’t know what’s going on down there." Captain Niu spoke truthfully. The comrades were silent at first, then began to voice their opinions.
"Boss, could it be that the signal down there is bad, so the missus kept it brief?"
"Yeah, boss, there’s barely any signal in the mountains, let alone at the cliff bottom."
"Boss, did we bring a signal receiver? Why not drop one down there to test it?"
"Boss, could it be that the missus encountered so unforeseen circumstances?"
"It’s possible. Who knows what’s at the bottom of that cliff?"
