Overcome with relief, Raegan began to scream, "My..."

But before he could say more, the sound of his voice dislodged another stone.

Raegan was paralyzed with fear, afraid to move or make a sound.

The sounds of the group searching for her slowly disappeared.

Panic gripped Raegan. Feeling completely lost, she noticed the vines next to her moving gently. An idea occurred to him. He reached out again and this time successfully grabbed two vines.

Carefully, he tied them and began to swing them. The length of the vines meant that even the smallest movements could cause noticeable disturbances in the soil.

Raegan's goal was to get the rescuers' attention with these movements.

Now that he glimpsed a chance for rescue, Raegan naturally refrained from attempting to climb the vines recklessly. Given the vines' exposure to the elements, there was no certainty that they would support their weight.

On the ground.

Mitchel and his four agile guards searched the area.

It remained a dangerous area, difficult to access for the public.

Search and rescue teams were on the mission.

Mitchel had come to search here guided by Misael. Misael had diligently followed the direction Raegan had been dragged in, refusing to forget it for even a moment.

The search area was vast.

Others had already gone searching elsewhere, and Mitchel was considering changing his search location.

Just as he was about to leave, he noticed slight movements in the vines on the ground. At first he thought it was the wind and almost ignored it.

Meanwhile, Raegan, who no longer heard any voice of rescue, was plunged into despair.

The rain had loosened the ground beneath her, making her posture increasingly precarious. She realized she couldn't sit still. The ground was about to collapse.

Feeling the strength of the vines in her grip, Raegan decided to act. At that moment, he made up his mind and wrapped the vines around his wrist securely.

Trusting that the vines would support her, she prepared to ascend.

But when it started, a loud noise announced the fall of rocks.

The earth split beneath her, opening a huge gap.

Raegan slid down, screaming as she fell.

The ground he had stepped on moments before disappeared.

With no other option, Raegan bit her lip, swayed her body for support, and tried to steady herself against the wall.

Although she had seen Erick climb, she had never done it.

Instinctively, he copied the climbing techniques, pushing himself against the stone wall, and began to ascend.

Luckily, its light weight meant that the vines could support it.

Raegan climbed cautiously, absorbing the discomfort.

Hope was almost within reach. I was just a few steps from safety.

But then, a loud crack was heard.

A vine broke!
