With the crisis averted, Bai Su slowly withdrew her hand and lowered the protective shield.
She glanced at Leia, who was sprawled out asleep on the ground. After a moment's thought, she decided to take her along.
'It can't be helped. Since I can't kill her, I'll have to find a way to win her over.'
Bai Su heaved Leia onto her back, redeemed some climbing gear from the System Mall, and, with the help of her other three Clones, began the slow ascent.
Bai Su climbed upward without stopping, but while falling into the Abyss was easy, climbing out was hard.
She had been climbing for two or three hours but had only managed to ascend a little over ten meters.
Panting with exhaustion, she sat down on a stone pillar.
Suddenly, a giant eagle flew over from above.
Bai Su instinctively raised a hand to block it, only to realize the giant eagle seemed to have no hostile intent.
