Just then.
The cracks had stopped expanding earlier, but the ground started to crack again!
This time, they were expanding faster than before.
Everyone was falling before they knew it.
“Ah!!!”
They all screamed.
Feng Wu and her teammates were all falling.
Feng Wu could hear the wind whooshing in her ears.
Ling Hao and the others panicked, but Feng Wu was as calm as ever.
She had always been this way. The greater the danger, the more composed she was.
She narrowed her eyes when they were about to hit the bottom.
She knew that the final part was the most important.
All their lives were on the line.
“We’re going to die!”
Ling Hao shouted.
The fear of death had overwhelmed them.
Feng Wu was the youngest, but she was incredibly calm.
She shouted, “Shut up, all of you!”
Shut up?
How?
It was human instinct to scream when they were scared.
Feng Wu had never sounded so severe. “Everyone, get ready to land!”
Land?
Where?
How were they supposed to get ready for that?
Each person was as baffled as the next.
They involuntarily tried to believe her and do as she said, but they didn’t know how to get ready.
Feng Wu stared at them. “Bring your knees up, curl your arms around them, and bury your head in your lap. The fetus position.”
Obviously, the others didn’t know what the fetus position was.
But they understood the first part.
They held their knees together and ducked their heads before they realized what they were doing.
Feng Wu shouted, “I’m going to count down from three. At one, I want everyone to roll forward!
“Listen carefully! If you don’t follow instructions and make the wrong move, you’ll get everyone killed!”
The others gritted their teeth nervously. None of them wanted to become a burden.
“3!
“2!
“1! Roll!”
At one, Feng Wu focused all her energy on the vines.
She whipped the vines in the air, counteracting the momentum of the fall.
Thump!
All four people landed.
Just as Feng Wu had instructed, they quickly rolled forward when they touched the ground.
They kept rolling until they no longer felt the momentum.
Shao Xiao was the first to stop.
He smacked into a rock, which made him see stars, and it felt like his bones had shattered.
It was so painful that he was almost in tears.
Luckily, his head had been protected. Despite the loud noise, all his wounds were superficial.
Luckily, he stopped rolling.
He lay flat on his back and heaved a sigh of relief.
He survived.
His teammates were luckier than he was because they slowly rolled to a stop.
Ling Hao was panting as his heart pounded.
That had been a terrifying fall.
“We must have fallen at least 1,000 meters!” Ling Hao stuttered.
