“We’re already here. We should go even if it’s dangerous.”
James walked straight into the cavern.
Maxine wore a defeated expression. 'He's been blinded by love. If he continues to be reckless, he might lose his life.'
Still, she followed him.
The entrance to the cavern was small, but once inside, it stretched in all directions. The deeper they went, the hotter it grew.
Even for James and Maxine, who were martial artists, it was becoming unbearable.
They had no choice but to use True Energy to combat the intense heat in the cavern, yet even then, they were both still sweating profusely. Their clothes were soon soaked with sweat.
“It’s so hot.” Maxine fanned her face with her hand and tugged at her sweat-soaked clothes that clung to her skin.
James took out another water bottle and handed it to Maxine, saying, “Drink some…”
At that moment, he saw what Maxine was doing when he turned around to hand over the water bottle. He noticed her tugging at her clothes, fanning the insides of her clothes from the neckline, and even pulling at her bra strap.
Maxine's face flushed instantly, and she let go quickly. “It’s… It’s far too hot. I’m covered with sweat and my bra is bothering me.”
She reached out her hands to take the water from James.
James, too, was embarrassed. He turned to look at the path ahead and said, “It really is too hot. This isn’t a place for people to stay. If Thea is indeed here, then…”
He did not dare to consider the consequences.
“James, you’ve finally arrived.”
At that moment, a voice rang out. The echo of the voice lingered in the cavern for some time, never dissipating.
James immediately focused his attention on his surroundings, but the echo was so loud that he could not tell where it came from.
“It should be ahead,” Maxine said as she pointed forward.
James walked over quickly.
They did not walk far before reaching the edge of the cliff. A massive protruding rock stood across from the cliff. There were ropes on the rock, and two people were bound to the ropes.
