###Chapter 549 Camping Trip – Part 6

Fortunately, with the trunk in her hand, Ivelle poked around and noticed that the soil not far away was very hard. She breathed a sigh of relief and leaned down slightly in an attempt to reduce her weight.

In this way, the speed of falling would be reduced, and so would the speed of sinking.

There was a loud thunder outside the cave, followed by the patter of rain.

She was a little desperate. Even if she was out of the swamp, there was no way to climb the hole. Once rainwater was too much and there was water in the hole, she would either die or be injured. The bigger hidden danger was that landslides may occur. At that time, she was afraid that she would even drag down Cassandra.

"Ivelle, are you all right? It's raining outside. What should we do? What took Rafaela so long? Why didn't she come back yet?"

Cassandra turned anxiously outside the hole because she didn't know what to do!

Water had already flowed into the cave, and rainwater had flowed into the swamp, making it suddenly more loose.

Ivelle's heart sank as she could only fight to the death and gamble her life. If the front was still a swamp, she could only say that her life would just end like this. If not, there might be a chance of survival.

Taking a deep breath, she clenched her fists, struggled with all her body strength, and jumped herself out of the swamp.

When she jumped and settled on another fast ground, she was undecided. She realized that there was solid soil under her feet, and there was no feeling of sinking. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was so much thunder outside that she could hardly hear the voice of Cassandra in the cave. She thought the swamp was soaked in water and soil that had flowed in for a long time.

The soil in this place was loose and used to be flat, but suddenly there was such a big pit, which was supposed to be caused by the hollowing out of the ground.

City An was a southwest city, which belonged to the mountain forest area and where tens of thousands of years of plate movement, would inevitably leave a lot of coal mines underground.

A few years ago, there was no specific control. Local people mined coal mines and dug many mines underground. Later, although professionals came to maintain the mining, the mines were left idle for many years, which would inevitably make the soil soft and unstable.

Today, when it was said that this land was prone to upper body landslides, it was better to say that the original mine had begun to slide. Dozens of meters below the surface, coupled with the erosion of rainwater, all the normal plains on the ground would suddenly collapse if they were not careful. A huge pit was exposed on the surface.

In the day, such a big pit, of course, she could see. But the night was dark, and there was no bottom when she accidentally fell. As much as she wanted to climb up, she could only call for help.

"Ivelle, can you hear me? Are you OK? Someone is coming. We'll be right down to save you. Don't worry!" The voice of Cassandra came from the mouth of the cave.

Ivelle looked up and replied, "Well, be careful!"

Worried that people would accidentally fall into the swamp, she shouted, "When you come down, you must bring a flashlight. There is a large swamp below. Do not fall into it."

There was a voice from above, "Yes!"

After a while, there was a light in the originally dark hole. Ivelle stood in place and dared not move. The person who looked down was a man's figure, so she thought that it should be William.

Ivelle said, "William, pay attention to your safety. There is a swamp in this hole, and the soil is too soft. I'm afraid this area will sink again, so be careful!"

He did not respond to her, tied a rope around his waist, found the way under his feet with a flashlight in one hand, and walked in her direction with the soft soil at the mouth of the cave with the other.

The light of the flashlight was coming towards her, so she couldn't see William's face clearly. She looked around and saw two deep pits not far away, which she should have stepped into just now.

There were also some muddy shrubs around, some were tea trees, so she guessed right. Here was just where she could have collapsed down.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and she was almost wet. She was not sure whether the soil under her feet was solid. She could only try to walk. When she saw William approaching her, she said, "Be careful, some of this soil is empty!"

"Hmm!" He had come to her side. As she heard the familiar voice, she was stupefied for a moment.

Looking up, she couldn't help but froze, "Jordan? It's you!" Her originally tensed nerves – she did not know how, but when she met him – suddenly relaxed a lot.

He also breathed a sigh of relief. His lips flared and his handsome eyebrows raised with a bit of coolness, "Why? Am I not the person you wanted to see? Are you disappointed?"

Ivelle was stupefied, ignored his sarcasm, and said, "Let's hurry up, as it may continue to sink here at any time!"

He seemed to know better than her, so he pulled her ready to go, looked up at the hole, and said, "The man found it and tied the rope to the tree."

The voice of Cassandra came from above, "OK, I see. Pay attention!"

Then Jordan tied another rope on his body to her and said, "Follow me later!"

Ivelle nodded and saw that he reached out to hold her. She subconsciously dodged and said, "It's all right, I can follow you!"

He looked back at her, and his eyes were gentle, but she could not see his joy or anger. He just withdrew his eyes and said, "Pay attention to your safety!"

She nodded and walked cautiously behind him. The seven-or eight-meter-high pit was not so easy to climb, and it was raining again.

The person at the mouth of the cave should not be too close to the mouth of the cave, otherwise, it was easy to fall and could only be pulled on top.

She didn't have the strength in her hand, so she couldn't pull the rope up. She tried it several times and fell off.

Covered with dirt and embarrassed, Jordan had good physical strength. It was not difficult to go up by himself, but with her, it would be a little difficult, and she will even drag him.

His clothes were all wet, his body was covered with dirt, and even his usual capable hair was covered with mud.

She sat slumped in the soil, a little discouraged, and said, "You go up first. If it goes on like this, neither of us will be able to get up. The rain is too heavy, and there is a risk that this place will collapse at any time. It's too dangerous!"

He frowned and looked at her with dark eyes, his eyes deep and serious. "If it were William, wouldn't you give up so soon?"

She froze, knowing that he had misunderstood, and sighed, "You think too much. Now the most important thing is to reduce the loss. If we both spend so much time here, something will happen in the end."

"I'd love to!" He opened his mouth, regardless of her struggle, pulled her to continue to push up.

Where could there be such an easy thing, she still fell off again.

A voice came from the mouth of the cave, "How are you doing? Can you come up?"

"The soil is too soft. You throw us some tree trunks down!" Jordan spoke his eyes fell on Ivelle, and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave you here alone."
