As they fell, Darryl did his best to protect her; hence, Jewel did not sustain any injury.
Darry coughed a few times before he smiled. "I am fine. I am not dead."
As he spoke, Darryl was furious.
Marcus, that bastard! How dared he trick him! It was fortunate that he had intense internal energy. The hit on the wall had reduced the gravity substantially.
Otherwise, both of them would have fallen into pieces.
Even though he was not dead, his body had sustained a significant shock.
Jewel sighed in relief when she heard that Darryl was fine.
Darryl looked around the area. It was dark, but he realized that sky-high cliffs surrounded the woods.
'It is midnight now. We would have to wait until the next morning before we could leave. I would need to recover my internal energy.'
As he thought about that, Darryl tried to comfort Jewel. "Don't worry; rest now."
Jewel nodded as she sat and leaned on Darryl's back. She did not close her eyes; she looked around her as she was cautious of all the movements. She knew Darryl needed to cultivate for a quick recovery.
How could she rest at that critical moment?
Darryl closed his eyes and started his cultivation.
Soon, morning came, and the sky brightened.
Sigh.
Darryl took a deep breath and opened his eyes. After a few hours of cultivation, he had fully recovered.
"You are done, Mister?" Jewel stood up excitedly.
Darryl was shocked to see the bags under her eyes. He furrowed his brows and asked, "You didn't sleep the whole night?"
They were deep in a valley, and it was surrounded by cliffs that were a few thousand feet high. With Darryl's capability, he would not be able to jump up, let alone bring Jewel with him. It was impossible for them to fly out there.
Sh*t!
'We didn't die from the fall, and yet we'd have to die here?' Darryl was frustrated as he thought about it.
At that moment, Jewel shouted happily," Mister, there are fishes in the pond. I can grill some fish for your meal. I make the best grilled fish."
Suddenly, they heard a peal of loud laughter!
Sh*t!
Both of them jumped when they heard that. They looked to the direction where the voice came from and saw a figure approached them.
"The two of you had trespassed into my territory. How rude!"
