However, Guan Xiao Dong stared at the unfathomably deep cliff, his face pale with terror. Not only did he refuse to step forward, but he also took a large step back, putting more distance between himself and her.
His expression twisted viciously as he glared at her. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this damn place. You even cheated on me behind my back. There's no way I'm going to throw my life away for a slut like you!"
"If you want to die, then go die! Don't drag me down with you!"
"Ah..."
"Guan Xudong, I won't let you off even as a ghost!"
Wang Yanqiu finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell. Her desperate, shrill voice echoed through the mountains.
"You just lost your footing. It had nothing to do with me... Nothing to do with me..."
Guan Xiao Dong was somewhat flustered, repeating those words over and over.
"I-I was too nervous and missed." Li Xingqiang held the rope in his hands, his face flustered and guilt-ridden. He looked utterly craven.
Everyone was already used to his spineless manner. As for the fact that he had missed twice in a row, they didn't think much of it.
They simply felt that he was exactly as useless as he usually appeared to be.
As the saying went, the higher one stood, the farther one could see. With Mo Jin, an adventure enthusiast who had once studied the terrain of Blackwater Gully, among them, they quickly figured out roughly where they were.
It turned out that they had been going in circles all this time. That was why they had walked for five days without managing to leave.
They studied the situation for a while, determined their direction, and then began descending the mountain.
