The woman with a human body and a snake's tail laughed. She raised her other hand, pointed to the large hole in the sky, and said in a light tone, "I can't go; I still have a hole to mend."

Jiang Ai looked at the big hole.

She had never realized there was such a large hole until the woman pointed it out.

This pitch-black, bottomless hole was larger than the largest beast she had ever seen. Moreover, its edges were covered with transparent blue debris that was constantly falling into the water.

No matter how she thought about it, the woman couldn't patch up this hole.

Jiang Ai guessed the woman was just trying to bluff her, but she couldn't find any other companions.

Jiang Ai gritted her teeth and asked, "If I help you patch this hole, would you be willing to come with me to kill him?"

The woman burst into laughter in surprise.

Her laughter was shrill, causing even more debris to fall from the gaping hole in the sky. The debris fluttered into the water, raising the water level slightly.

The woman pointed to the large hole and said with a smile, "Jump in."

“If you jump in, this hole can be patched up. Then I can free up my hands and won’t have to hold up this sky anymore.”

"If you free your hands, will you help me kill him?" Jiang Ai asked loudly.

The woman smiled and lowered her eyelashes. She said, "Of course, little one, I promise you."

So Jiang Ai climbed to the highest rock, the one closest to the cave, which was piled up by the women.

She stood at the edge of the cave.

It is bottomless.

But apart from women, she could find no other suitable ally.

She had nowhere to retreat.

So she closed her eyes and jumped into the hole.
