Chapter 12: The Thousand Feet Cliff

After this out, after another half an hour, Liu Wentong heard that someone had entered the mountain before them, and there was obviously an anxious look on his face, and he urged Mo Yuxuan several times to discuss with Ye Feisong to move forward, but Mo Yuxuan was worried about something unexpected in his heart, so he hesitated, and looked at Ye Feisong at a loss.

"Alright, there shouldn't be any danger, let's go. This sentence can be regarded as a reassuring pill, Ye Feisong snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, beckoned to Mo Yuxuan and them, and everyone immediately continued to hurry. Wu Er walked at the end of the crowd, just a few steps, out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently glimpsed something in the place where the corpse had just fallen, the flashlight swept it, and found that it was a half-wet piece of paper, and there was a faint pattern on it blurred, Wu Er took a closer look, like a painted animal, but it was really difficult to distinguish specifically, so he had to give up.

Knowing that there may be other people who are also active in the mountain, everyone is anxious but also much more cautious, the long journey after the shoes are soaked is like a heavy hike, and then go deeper into the mountain, and gradually can hear the huge sound of the waves hitting the stone wall, Wu Er knows in his heart that the Silent Lake should be not far ahead, but it is also the sound of the water waves that makes everyone have a bad premonition, which shows that the water level of the Silent Lake must have risen in this heavy rain that has not stopped for a moment.

After a few turns, behind the rock wall is a large area of calamus swaying in the wind, the sound of frogs comes and goes, everyone stands on a sloping rock, a thunder falls overhead, as if the sky has a crack, the white light flashes suddenly, the outline of the entire silent lake is in everyone's sight for a moment, the two giant peaks on the opposite side of the lake stand tall and stretch out to the sky, a ridge crosses between the two peaks, in the dark, like a giant beast crawling on the shore, opening its huge mouth and yawning where the water and the sky meet.

At first glance, Mo Yuxuan's face changed slightly, he turned his head to look at Ye Feisong, only to see him beckoning, Ding Mian actually trotted all the way to the lake without saying a word, jumped directly into the water, and the rest of the people watched in silence, watching Ding Mian float in the lake several times, which had already broken the previous impression that Wu Er had left him afraid of water, but it was this abnormality that seemed even more strange. The lake made waves in the strong wind, and his ears were full of whistling sounds, Ye Feisong was not worried about Ding Mian's safety at all, and in less than a quarter of an hour, Ding Mian went and returned, and told expressionlessly: "It's flooded, I can't get through." ”

Mo Yuxuan's eyes sank when he heard such a reply, Liu Wentong, Guo Fengchao, and Li Jie'an simply threw their backpacks on the ground, their faces were gloomy, and Hu Yanzheng asked aloud on the side: "Then what should we do?

"Even if the rain stops, it's useless, and when the water level drops back again, it will take at least half a month or even longer, this is the only way to get to the hill sacrifice tomb, if someone comes in first, if they know that there is such a shortcut, they are estimated to have entered it at the moment, otherwise they can only go around another mountain road to enter the hill sacrifice tomb. Mo Yuxuan replied softly, and Hu Yanzheng shrugged: "Does that mean that we still have to continue to hurry?"

Who knew that Mo Yuxuan just smiled bitterly and shook his head, while Liu Wentong sat on the ground and sighed: "Little girl is really naΓ―ve, do you think that mountain road is so easy to walk? ”

"Didn't someone already enter the mountain before us, aren't they afraid at all?"

"I don't dare to say whether that group of people took a shortcut or not, even if they didn't, look at the outfit of the corpse just now, this team should be a tomb robbing organization, as long as there is an ancient tomb, they are no different from outlaws, they don't care about these at all. Liu Wentong said righteously, but in Wu Er's opinion, the purpose of several of them is no different from robbing the tomb, who knew that Wu Er's thoughts had just fallen, Song Pan actually sneered and said: ", aren't you also here for the ancient tomb, it's not the same as them?"

Wu Er's chest was blocked, and he almost didn't catch it in one breath, this dead fat man is really rectal, and he can't talk at all, Wu Er grabbed his waist and reminded him not to hit the muzzle, but Song Pan twisted his waist and laughed: "Hey, hey, why are you scratching my waist, itchy." ”

It was at this moment that Wu Er realized what it meant to be not afraid of a god-like opponent, but a pig-like teammate. Fortunately, Mo Yuxuan and they didn't take Song Pan's words seriously, Wu Gengjun said with a smile: "Little brother, this understanding is biased, we are completely different from tomb robbers, tomb robbers have no reverence for ancient tombs at all, and even destroy ancient tombs at will in order to achieve their goals, we are just here to find the remains of ancient tombs, if we can enter, we will advance, and if we can't advance, we will retreat, and we will never desecrate the treasures left in the world over the years." ”

As soon as he said this, the top of his head almost shone brightly, and the eyes of the three girls looked at Wu Gengjun, and Song Pan couldn't help but pat Wu Er's shoulder: "On bragging, sure enough, there is a mountain and a mountain high." ”

Wu Er was too lazy to deal with him, knowing that the current situation all depended on Ye Feisong's decision, so he asked: "According to what you said, we are not advancing or retreating now, so what should we do?"

The others didn't answer for the time being, and their eyes really fell on Ye Feisong, he still had a calm demeanor, looked at the sky, he should have felt that the rain would not pass so quickly, and said softly: "Take a rest first, if you want, we will go to the underground river later." ”

Mo Yuxuan didn't say anything immediately, but looking at his expression, he could be regarded as acquiescing, and then he turned his head to look at Liu Wentong and them: "What about you?"

All five shook their heads and said they had no objections. In the end, only Wu Er, Song Pan and the three girls had not yet answered, Mo Yuxuan said: "I don't force you to follow the adventure, because the Candleyin River is an underground dark river after all, and the risk is unknown, if you are afraid, you can wait here for the rescuers to arrive at the bottom of the mountain, and the food and water in the bag should be able to last for a few days." ”

"Damn, you guys are so irresponsible, what if we run out of food and water and don't wait for the rescuers? What if this barren mountain is attacked by poisonous snakes and beasts? We are so young that we haven't had time to serve the motherland. Song Panyi was strict, and Wu Er couldn't refute it for a while, so he had to nod in approval.

As soon as the three girls heard the poisonous snake, they recalled the corpse with stiff protruding eyes just now, and they also felt that Song Pan's words were not rough, and they were willing to go to the Candleyin River to find other ways out, Zhou Yuqin's body proportion was similar to Song Pan's, and finally did not forget to echo and summarize: "Yes, we can't sit still!"

The matter has come to this, Mo Yuxuan is not easy to refuse, Ye Feisong continued to tell Ding Mian to explore the way, Wu Er's impression of Ding Mian has also changed at this moment, I feel that although Ding Mian looks at Mu Ne, he is quick to do things, and he is not dragging his feet at all, no wonder Ye Feisong trusts him so much.

In less than half an hour, Ding Mian trotted back with a small steel shovel, and stood in front of Ye Feisong like a small soldier and reported: "There is still a layer of stone wall, it shouldn't be a big problem to blow it up." ”

"Okay, then blow it up. Ye Feisong responded lightly, but Wu Er and Song Pan on the side were taken aback, these two people were also bold, whether it was illegal to hold ** or not, and now they will explode if they don't say a word, and they will not discuss it at all.

The two were stunned, and then Ding Mian took out a brick-like thing from his bag, and a few lines were connected, leaving everyone and running away in a blink of an eye, Ye Feisong raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and raised his finger for a while to remind: "Come, everyone plug your ears." ”

As soon as the word 'down' fell, they didn't have time to react, only heard a "bang", and huge smoke rose in the distance, Wu Er and Song Pan only felt a buzzing sound in their heads, and it seemed that the heavens and the earth were spinning in an instant.

"Yo, it's still two seconds slower, it's a mistake. Ye Feisong was like a nobody, looking at his watch and shaking his head, and the rest of the people were also scared enough, and it took a long time to come to their senses.

"I said uncle, can you tell me five minutes in advance before doing this kind of dangerous thing next time?" Song Pan's intestines were repentant, he knew that it was better to stay and wait for rescue, he paused, felt that five minutes was too short, and waved his hand again: "No, no, no, at least ten minutes, it's so terrible, the urine almost shook out!"

When the smoke cleared and the rain and fog were hazy, Ding Mian ran back with a flashlight: "It's okay, everyone come here!"

Ye Feisong nodded, everyone had to pick up their respective backpacks and continue to hurry, only to notice when they got closer that the sleeves of Ding Mian's clothes were burned off a long length, Wu Er's flashlight inadvertently swept over his broken sleeve, and Ding Mian's arm moved as usual, not at all injured.

The blasting point is under a towering tree that grows out of a crack in the ground, and the place where he walked before is a rock wall that is higher than his head, and the sight is like a frog at the bottom of a well in the rainy night, except for the place where the flashlight can be obtained, he doesn't know that there is such a primeval forest-like situation behind the rock wall, Ding Mian led the way, and suddenly went around to a big tree that a few people can embrace, as if he grabbed something and disappeared from everyone's sight with a kick, more than a dozen people quickly swept around with a flashlight, only to find that everyone was taken to the edge of a cliff, and the dark abyss was ' The cold wind swept up, Wu Er gasped unconsciously, and saw the big trees with such thick branches growing along the mouth of the abyss, walking a little carelessly on a rainy night, and falling into the abyss was absolutely life-threatening, and Ding Mian had just fixed one end of the climbing rope to one of the big tree branches, and he had already slid down first, and after a while, he saw a shaking flashlight underneath, and it seemed that Ding Mian was sure that it was safe to remind everyone to follow.

"Let's go, you can enter the Candleyin River from the bottom of the thousand-foot cliff, but this rope can bear the weight of up to two people at a time, for safety, everyone hold on to the rope while trying to keep their bodies not moving. Ye Feisong checked the firmness of the rope again and reminded.

Ding Mian tightened the rope at the bottom, which made it easier to slide down, Mo Yuxuan was the first to follow, Liu Wentong and a few of them followed, because they were often active in the wild, this kind of situation was also commonplace, but the next three girls took a lot of time, Ye Feisong was worried about what happened, and tied a safety rope around each of the three of them, and the next turn was Song Pan, considering his tonnage, Ye Feisong only allowed him to get on the rope alone, who knew that Song Pan twisted for a long time and didn't move, Wu Er couldn't help but kick him:" Why are you stunned?

Song Pan swallowed his saliva and said, "If I say I'm a little afraid of heights, do you believe it?"

"Poof, haha. Wu Er looked at him, he couldn't hold back for a while, Song Panyi frowned: "Laugh at your uncle! ”

"It's okay, just close your eyes and don't look down, someone will help you when you get to the position." Wu Er smiled and comforted, Song Pan begged Ye Feisong to fix the safety rope for him as well, seeing that his hand holding the rope turned white because of nervousness, Wu Er quipped: "If you use your hand harder, the rope will break." ”

"Damn, don't scare your fat grandpa. After scolding Wu Er, Song Pan looked at Ye Feisong pitifully: "Uncle, do you think it's important for me to add two more safety ropes to be safe?"

"Good. I didn't think that Ye Feisong agreed very happily, and then explained that the fat man closed his eyes first, waited and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Hmm!" Song Pan gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Now let go of your hands! I'm going to move the ropes!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Song Pan thought he was going to add a rope to him, but Ye Feisong only pulled the ring and shouted: "Go you!", the fat man was caught off guard, and suddenly the sound of crying and shouting followed all the way to the bottom of the cliff.

"Wow, this is exciting!" Wu Er sighed sincerely, Jiang is really still old and spicy, and it is very suitable to deal with a crooked person like a fat man.

The last place where the group settled was on a huge rock protruding from the middle of the cliff, surrounded by criss-crossing thick tree roots, all of which were the roots of the towering trees on the top of the cliff that were deeply rooted in the soil, and the blast mouth that entered the Candleyin River was directly in front of the position where everyone was standing, and the roots of the trees blocking the front of the entrance had been cut off by sharp blades, and the exploding gravel could be seen everywhere, and the sound of the wind rushed out from a hole that only allowed one person to drill.

The fastest action is still Ding Mian, he packed up the ropes, turned around and stuffed the backpack directly into the hole, and then the right arm and head and neck probed in first, and the body was soon all hidden in the dark, and the others saw that Ding Mian was moving very fast, and they all followed the gourd to draw the scoop one by one, but when it was Song Pan's turn, the problem came again, and he began to call halfway through the drill: "Ouch, no, no, no, the chest is too big, stuck!"

Wu Er slapped him hard on the buttocks: "Damn, you have a lot to do!", and then pressed his hands hard, trying to squeeze him hard.

"! Don't, don't, don't! Your fat man's ribs will be broken in a while!" Song Pan's cheeks flushed, and his body stopped and didn't move forward. Wu Er had no choice but to stop, and was thinking of a way, when he suddenly heard a "rustling" sound in his ears, Wu Er immediately looked back at the source of the sound, and on the root of the tree coiled above the entrance of the cave, there were two half-fist thick spotted snakes probing and slowly leaning towards them, and the head of the triangular snake spit black letters from time to time. Wu Er suddenly didn't dare to come out, and his feet were even more fixed in place, for fear that the slightest movement would attract their attention, Song Pan heard that there was no movement behind him, his head was still stretched out in the hole, and he didn't know what was happening behind him for a while, so he moved his legs and kicked Wu Er beside him and asked: "What? Why did you suddenly stop talking?"

"Don't mess around. Wu Er had to remind in a low voice, but Song Pan shouted: "You still don't want to find a way to get me in! If you continue to consume like this, the fat master will suffocate to death!"
