Snap!
A crisp breaking sound was heard, and the wooden bridge broke mercilessly!
In an instant, everyone fell into the deep abyss of the canyon.
Shouts, screams, and shrieks were heard in the canyon. The sound echoed in the canyon for a long time before dissipating completely.
At that moment, Gerald and his friends fell directly into the river of the canyon together.
Luckily, the bottom of the canyon was not the ground, but a river. Otherwise, they would have already fallen to their deaths.
Nevertheless, the water of this river was bone-chilling.
Gerald quickly located Juno and the others and got them to the riverside one by one.
Rey was completely unconscious. He seemed to have fainted out of fear.
After a difficult swim, Gerald, Juno, and Yrsa finally managed to drag Rey to the riverbank.
The four lay on the riverbank.
After catching his breath, Gerald immediately reacted.
“Quick! We shouldn’t be resting here. We must leave this place now and find somewhere to make a fire to warm our bodies!”
Gerald reminded Juno and Yrsa.
The water of the river was bone-chilling, so their body temperature would drop drastically. If they delayed it any further, they would get hypothermia, and when that happened, they would truly be in big trouble.
Having said that, Gerald lifted Rey up and left the riverbank with Juno and Yrsa.
The four came to an open area, and Gerald put Rey down.
“You guys wait for me here. I’ll go get some firewood!”
Gerald instructed them and walked into the forest quickly.
Gerald came back after a short while with some firewood.
Then, he made a fire.
Gerald explained briefly.
Gerald had checked Rey’s heartbeat and pulse just now and determined that everything was normal. So, this must mean that he had simply fainted out of fear.
Hearing Gerald’s answer, Juno and Yrsa were relieved.
“Gerald, you were right. There really was a problem with the wooden bridge!”
As they were sitting together quietly, Juno said to Gerald with lingering fear.
“It felt strange right from the beginning. Think about it. The most feminine place should not be this easy to find. How could there be a wooden bridge that was so easy to cross in between the canyons?”
Gerald said to the girls.
“Anyway, what the hell were those things just now?! They’re so scary!”
Yrsa asked. Her heart was still racing in fear.
Gerald and Juno shook their heads simultaneously. They did not know as well.
