As such, Kurt volunteered to do the lifting.

“I'll give you a lift. You'll go up there.”

“Nonsense. I'm bulkier and heavier than you. Plus, you rescued Lucy just now. It proved you're agile. Go ahead.”

Unexpectedly, Matteo, who was born into an affluent family, rejected Kurt's decision without hesitation.

He was even willing to let the latter step on his shoulder.

Kurt appeared hesitant for a while.

Eventually, he chose to comply with Matteo. He stepped on his shoulders and started digging for the crystals.

Their efficiency increased gradually due to their teamwork.

In the blink of an eye, Kurt's cloth bag was filled to the brim.

“Is that enough?”

“It should be. We have to leave soon. If the next wave hits again, we will be in danger. We are right at the place where it hits.”

Matteo had a keen observation and paid attention to the tiniest details.

Previously, he had mastered all the wave patterns of the big river. As such, he read the situation and knew the danger that was about to approach.

Kurt obeyed him right away.

The two boys packed the black stones and left that hazardous area. After that, they climbed back up to safety after finding Lucy, who was still tied with a steel cable.
