Nicole was not afraid of heights but seeing the bottom of such a deep cliff still made her heart tremble involuntarily.
When walking up to the hot air balloon, she could feel her legs shaking.
Besides the two professional explorers like Nathaniel and Miles, most of the others had the same reaction as Nicole.
Eric was calm and steady, without much emotion.
The cliff felt bottomless, and the lush woods felt like a n abyss. The feeling of being suspended in the air felt like they were stepping on the clouds, wobbly and extremely unstable.
Fortunately, the security measures in place were very solid. Otherwise, Nicole would not even take a step!
Nicole swore to herself that she would stay away from Nathaniel in the future!
The cameraman did not follow them and only relied o n the participants' cameras and drones to film.
No one knew if Mikayla was really afraid or if she was faking it, but her face was pale as she held the railing and screamed. Her screams made everyone’s fear disappear in an instant.
"Are you afraid?"
Eric’s magnetic and clear voice came from the back.
Nicole paused in her footsteps and denied it. "Of course not!"
Eric snickered from behind. Nicole wanted to retort when she heard it, but she was not in the mood.
Mikayla was on the verge of crying. "Mr. Ferguson, I'm so scared..."
Eric only glanced at her coldly and did not speak.
Nathaniel could not help but speak. "Stop howling like a banshee! Our conversation will be inaudible if you keep yelling like that. Do you wanna dub all our voices?"
Mikayla's cries stopped abruptly.
Aside from Fabian, everyone else was rich and important people they could not afford to invite.
Mikayla’s eyes were still welled up with tears as she said aggrievedly, "I’m just too scared...”
"If you really can't stand it, just get the director to pick you up."
Miles suggested, feeling that this was most thoughtful for Mikayla.
Mikayla sobbed and said, "It's okay... I'll just hold on..."
Fabian did not say anything and only looked out into the distance.
The director's voice came from the speakers in the hot
air balloon.
