Using her momentum, Jian Xin lunged forward fiercely, only to find herself plunging toward a cliff. With nothing beneath her feet, she plummeted downward. A couple of blue wolves failed to stop in time and fell as well, though the remaining blue wolves on the ledge channeled their Spiritual Power and managed to haul those two back up.
Jian Xin was not nearly as fortunate. Her Spiritual Power was depleted and her physical strength was nearly gone. The rush of wind roared past her ears, the piercing screech threatening to shatter her eardrums. The Little Beast clinging to her neck was terrified out of its wits, gripping her so tightly it almost choked her to death. Yet this very sensation of asphyxiation seemed to ignite her ultimate survival instinct. Battling the gale-force winds, she spotted a massive pine tree growing horizontally out of the cliff face! Reaching out in a panic, she tried to grab it, but misjudged the distance entirely!
"Thud!"
