Chapter 421 Time Is Of The Essence
Beneath the cliff of The Poisonous Forest leading to an abyss, a natural cave stood. It was hidden out
of sight by the numerous plants and greenery around it. Only those who searched for it could find it.
Harold was at the cave's entrance, laying out the plants he had foraged to dry them out.
Evelyn was leaning against the wall, her starvation almost making her faint.
More than a week ago, Harold took Evelyn and jumped off the cliff to escape the helicopter's attack.
Evelyn had her eyes shut all the way down. She was assailed by the howls of the wind, and she
shivered in fear.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt that moment, she was convinced she would breathe her last. Yet a few minutes went by, and Evelyn
wondered why they hadn't hit the bottom yet. At the same time, Harold pulled one arm back.
Just when she was about to scream, she felt them stop in midair. Harold then held her and moved
sideways in the air. After that, they stopped falling.
Curious, she opened her eyes and, to her surprise, noticed that they had touched the ground. She
looked around and realized that this was not the base of the abyss. They were in a cave somewhere in
the middle of the cliff. There was an old pine tree in the cave.
Evelyn understood why Harold pulled one arm back. He must have noticed the cave and the tree on
their way down, so he held a branch and swung over. Not many could perform something of that level,
but Harold was one of the experts who could.
Most people would never have noticed the cave. Like her, they would have closed their eyes and faced
death. Even if they did notice the cave and the tree, they couldn't save themselves. Not everyone could
hold onto a branch and swing into the cave like Harold could.
Evelyn looked down and saw nothing but clouds and mist. The bottom of the abyss was still far, far
away. Shocked, she plopped down on the ground.
The cave was not big or deep. There were a lot of plants blocking the entrance, and the enemies could
never find him there, so they stayed in the cave for a few days to get under the enemy's radar.
They had been starving, but fortunately, Harold found some bird eggs on the tree, and he noticed there

Once they were sure the enemies were gone, Harold started coming up with a plan to escape. If they
didn't escape, both of them would starve to death.
However, the problem was that they were about a thousand meters above the surface, and beneath
them was a bottomless abyss. They couldn't leave unless there were a helicopter helping them.
Left with no choice, Harold pulled some vines and dried them up. Fortunately, there was sunlight. Most
places were already starting to face winter, but it still felt like late autumn in Jinrich.
It was the fifteenth of the tenth month of the lunar calendar a few days later. The fake God of War
should be in Dellmoor by then. At this point, Harold didn't care if the plants weren't fully dried. He
smacked two stones together, created a spark, and lit his clothes up.
