Volume 2 Iron Tree Hall Chapter 183 Iron Eel River
After a day of unhurried walking, the sun was shining, without any shelter, coupled with the fatigue and hunger of the previous day, everyone walked a little muddy, and even the noon break was to sleep upside down, trying to recover their strength.
When it was about to fall into the night, the Ming Shrine, who had been leading the way in front, suddenly disappeared, and everyone was stunned, and then found that they had walked to the other side of the coffin mountain.
Tang Hua wanted to jump down without saying a word, but was stopped by Sima Shuo, Tang Hua looked at him suspiciously, Sima Shuo turned his head to look at Huo Pu who didn't jump down, and asked, "This is also part of the second level, right?"
Huo Pu smiled: "Of course, if you come up by yourself, you have to go down by yourself, this is the style that Tieshutang has always done. ”
Yue Ling'er swallowed her saliva and asked, "Then what if you fall?"
Huopu said as a matter of course: "That's your business. ”
Tang Hua said disdainfully: "Cut, I really don't believe that you will let us fall to death." ”
After speaking, he made a gesture and prepared to jump down, Huo Pu looked at him with a playful smile, and had no intention of stopping it, which couldn't help but make Tang Hua a little weak, but the words had already been said, and it was not good not to do it, fortunately, even if Tang Gui came out to relieve the siege, he gave him a step down, and said: "It's better to believe it than not to believe it, it's better to be cautious." ”
Tang Bao was about to take advantage of the situation to get off the donkey down the slope, but Huo Pu was rarely playful, and deliberately said in a weird manner: "Don't you don't believe it? ”
Tang Bao's brain was hot, and he replied without much thought: "Try it, try it, who is afraid of whom!"
But as soon as the words came out, he regretted it, but in his heart he still had a trace of luck with his thoughts, so he was ready to jump forward, the moment he jumped out, his eyes were already closed, and when he felt that his body was about to start falling, the back of his neck was slammed by someone, he thought it was Huo Pu couldn't help but make a move, opened his eyes triumphantly and looked back, stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "What are you holding me for? Let go of me!
While struggling, Sima Shuo said helplessly: "With your temper, no amount of life is enough for you to die." ”
My sister also said something similar to him, which made Tang Hua more and more annoyed and angry, and yelled inwardly: "If you want to take care of it, let me go quickly." ”
Sima Shuo casually threw him to the ground, and Xuhui snorted coldly beside him: "I don't know what to do." ”
As soon as Tang Hua scolded and stood up, he was pulled aside by Tang Gui.
Wolf Guo proposed, "We can slide down with our backs against the cliff, or we can slide down with our claws clasped against the cliff." ”
Ming Shiyu looked down, then looked at his claws again, shook his head and said, "It's too high, and the hand will be broken before it reaches the bottom." ”
Wolf said, "You can change hands." ”
Ming Shiyu continued to retort: "What about the one that uses the back?"
The wolf was speechless for a moment, lowered his head and began to think about this question, at this time Sima Shuo put down the book and took out a bundle of rope from it, which was used when climbing the mountain before.
Xuhui immediately understood what Sima Shuo wanted to do, and said, "I know, you can borrow the rope and slide down slowly like when you climb up." ”
Everyone thought it was feasible, but Tang Lanyu raised two questions: first, the rope had been broken before, and it could not reach the bottom of the cliff, what should be done on the road after that, and second, what should be used to fix one end of the rope, but there was nothing on the coffin mountain except for the beautiful colored grass.
Sima Shuo nodded, Tang Lanyu's thinking was very quick, and he found out two key problems at once, but he had already thought of a way to solve these two problems.
Sima Shuo said: "The first problem cannot be solved, the rope can only help us descend three-quarters of the height, and the rest can only rely on ourselves, for example, we can borrow our hands or other parts of the body to slow down the fall, as Wolf Guo just said; ”
Tang Lanyu asked meaningfully, "Then who will be the last?"
Sima Shuo looked at him with a smile and replied, "Me." ”
Xuhui immediately objected: "It's better for me to come, I have wings." ”
Sima Shuo pulled out the dagger on his waist and shook it, and said, "Your wet wings don't work, I have this, don't worry." ”
This is something that has been refined, and Xuhui is still very confident in it, so he didn't say anything more.
Since Sima Shuo volunteered to be the queen of his palace, the others had no better way, so they could only follow his arrangement.
It was Toad Xin who went down first, not because she weighed the heaviest, but because she needed to bite one end of the rope and be hung down, and the rope needed to be lowered first, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
After that, I really started to descend the cliff in order of weight, and after tying a rope around my waist, I rested every two quarters of an hour, and it took nearly a night to go down to the bottom of the cliff.
Compared with going up the mountain, there was no trouble going down the cliff, it was all smooth, there were no accidents, and the most was that Tang Gui accidentally sprained his foot when he landed, and Tang Hua helped him rub his red and swollen ankle.
Huo Pu finally fell, and glanced at the two daggers that Sima Shuo was wiping clean, he was a hard guy, but that's all, it was not a magic weapon, and he needed to refine some more materials before he had a chance to be promoted to the ranks of magic weapons.
Ming Xi lay on the branch of a tree, opened one eye and looked at everyone, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Less than an hour later, the silver-white moon vanished from the horizon, and a blinding light shot out from the other end.
Ming Xi got up and stretched, said 'go', and jumped down from the tree, and after landing on the ground, he found that only Sima Shuo and He Wushuang, Xuhui woke up dimly, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and then an earth-shattering leopard roar resounded for dozens of miles in a radius, scaring everyone who was still asleep sat up violently, covering his ears, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears constantly echoing.
When they were better, Ming Ci had already walked some distance by himself, and everyone dragged their tired bodies to catch up.
In this way, I walked for another morning, and during the noon break, I forcibly lifted my spirits, caught a lot of prey, and after roasting at will, I ate Haisai for a while, and after eating, I felt that my body was warm for a while, and I was very plain, and drowsiness was overwhelming.
But after a voice in the morning, everyone was afraid, and they survived the remaining two quarters of an hour, and then set off again, and in the evening, Mingci stopped and said 'rest', and everyone was like a doll with a broken line, and they all lay down on the spot, and after a while, they all snored like thunder, and slept deeply.
I didn't wake up until the next morning, and then I started walking again.
After two days of adjustment, everyone gradually eased up and regained their spirits.
On the third day, I crossed another mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain was a river with a hundred zhang wide and gentle water, and there was no end in sight of the upper and lower levels, and when I got closer, I could see that there were many eels, of various sizes, swimming downstream with the current.
Xuhui looked at them and said excitedly to Sima Shuo, "Brother Shuo, we can eat grilled eels at noon!"
Tang Hua sneered: "I advise you not to go into the water, this is the Iron Eel River, don't look unremarkable, in fact, the temperature in the water is extremely low, if you stand in it and don't move, you will be frozen to death." ”
These words successfully frightened Xuhui, who was most afraid of water, and even more afraid of the cold water.
Sima Shuo didn't believe it, and felt that Tang Hua was exaggerating, you must know that if a person wants to freeze to death, he must at least ten degrees below zero, if he is a demon in the holy realm, the average physique must be stronger, and he will have to be twenty degrees below zero to freeze to death, if the river really reaches this temperature, according to such a gentle current, it should have frozen a long time ago.
Shadow smiled and said, "Don't believe me, then give it a try." ”
Practice brings true knowledge, anyway, there is no danger, Sima Shuozhen walked to the river, squatted down and was about to reach into the river, as soon as his fingers touched the river, he couldn't help but shiver all over, and quickly withdrew his hand.
Tang Hua on the side clasped his hands to his chest and sneered: "If you don't listen to Tang Ye, you will suffer in front of you." ”
Xuhui glared at him and asked repeatedly, "How is it?"
Sima Shuo stared at the river strangely and said, "It's not as exaggerated as Tang Hua said, but it also looks like a few degrees below zero." ”
Tang Hua pursed his lips, feeling that Sima Shuo was pretending to be forced, and deliberately said not so coldly, so as to give himself a step, he Tang Xiaoye was a person who knew how to advance and retreat, so he didn't debunk him.
But fortunately, he didn't come out to debunk it, otherwise he would really be slapped in the face, because Huo Pu immediately stood up and introduced it to everyone: "This river is three thousand six hundred miles long, and the horizontal stalk is between the rabbit, the crocodile wolf, and the heavy mouth pine territory and the Tieshutang, and now this time is indeed not as cold as Tang Hua said, one is the season, and the other is the time problem, but no matter how cold it is, this river will not freeze." ”
Sima Shuo blurted out and asked, "Why?"
Ming Ci took over the conversation and said, "You won't understand it now, but when you get to the Iron Tree Hall, you will know if you listen to the class and study." ”
Sima Shuo, who couldn't get an answer, turned his head and asked the shadow in his heart, and the shadow just pretended to be profound: "This is the world with spiritual power." ”
Then there was no follow-up, and Sima Shuo didn't bother to ask any more.
At this time, Yue Ling'er, who had been looking back and forth for a long time, opened her big puzzled eyes and asked, "Why is there no bridge?"
Ming Ci smiled and asked knowingly, "What do you want the bridge to do?"
Yue Ling'er replied innocently: "Of course it's in the past." ”
Ming Ci nodded, kicked the ground lightly with his hind legs, his body drew an arc in the air, and quietly landed on the opposite shore, looked back at everyone, and asked again, "What do you want the bridge to do?"
Everyone's faces fell in an instant, and they all had a conjecture in their hearts that they wanted to scold, this wouldn't be the third level of some kind of bullshit, right?
Qi Qi turned his head to look at Huo Pu who was still here, Huo Pu shrugged his shoulders, and then nodded again, which confirmed everyone's conjecture.
