“Rockefeller brat, hold me tight!”
Anyhow, they had already been holding each other’s hands from the beginning. At that moment, Maximilia pulled Alex over forcefully and wrapped her arms around him.
She was protecting Alex with her own body. Furthermore, she protected his head firmly in her chest…
That soft and bouncy sensation suffocated Alex for a while. He lacked the ability for internal respiration and couldn’t hold his breath for long, and would probably be asphyxiated to death.
“Hey… Mm… Mmhh…”
Alex wanted to speak, but words failed to escape his lips. He tried to open his mouth to take a breath, but it was also blocked. In desperation, he bit down hard.
A woman’s body contained several areas that were most vulnerable to pain. The location that Alex bit was definitely most vulnerable to pain. After all, this place was set in ancient times, and there were no modern, fashionable sponge bra pads. And Maximilia’s clothes were relatively sexy and thin like Westeros’s. Hence, when he bit down…
‘Oh my god!’
Maximilia shuddered all over in pain. She then hurriedly let go of Alex, yelling, “What are you doing? My body is made of flesh!”
Alex took a deep breath. “Maximilia, you almost suffocated me.”
Maximilia was speechless.
In fact, it was not completely empty down there. Rather, there was a steep slope. After they both fell for a few meters, they slid on a steep slope full of yellow sand on both sides, but the fall did not hurt much. Alex was lying on Maximilia’s body, which was equivalent to having a soft cushion. Not only did he feel no pain, but he actually enjoyed it a lot.
It was unknown how deep they had slid down the slope. Both of them were shocked.
The torch was still in Maximilia’s hand, but the whistling wind from the sliding diminished the flame, and it looked like it would be extinguished at. any time. After another while, the steep slope beneath their bodies suddenly disappeared.
This time, they were really falling straight down.
After a full minute, Maximilia pulled Alex out of the water. However, the torch was currently extinguished, and the surroundings were pitch-black. She could not see anything and knew nothing of the surroundings. To be frank, even Jade’s soul would’ve felt a surge of panic in the face of such darkness. Moreover, Alex wasn’t moving a muscle.
“Alex?! Alex Rockefeller?! Wake up! Wake up!” She shouted, but Alex didn’t respond.
This time, she was really panicked. As soon as she checked his nose, she was even more terrified.
Alex was not breathing.
Although she knew that Alex definitely wasn’t dead, and he would’ve most likely stopped on the first step of Heavenly Stairs after failing the trial, she did not dare to take the gamble… She harbored another thought, she did not want to face this kind of pitch-black environment alone.
“Alex Rockefeller! Alex Rockefeller! D*mn it! You better not die! Wake up! I’m slightly afraid of the dark!”
The dignified commander of the Flying Eagles would probably become a laughing stock if she said that she was afraid of darkness. However, Jade was really afraid, especially in a total, pitch-black environment.
