Time is like the sand in the hourglass on the ground, little by little, slowly falling, passing silently. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When you don't know anything about the future, or the outside world, it takes a lot of courage to take that step. For a long time, Lu Chen sat quietly, staring at the hourglass without saying a word.

Ah Tu didn't seem to be manic, or maybe he didn't fully understand the danger of going out this time, so he just lay on the ground beside Lu Chen, close to him. However, if you don't eat a lot of food here, including its favorite dried meat, you can probably see that Atu is still a little different from what it does on weekdays.

There was silence in the tree hole, it seemed that it had been like this since a long time ago, and Lu Chen and them seemed to be just a splash of water inadvertently in the long river of these long years, and under all the abnormalities, a small anomaly could not make a big wave.

Lu Chen raised his head and looked around the tree hole.

He couldn't be more familiar with this place, he had been here countless times since he first discovered it. This mysterious and ancient tree cave once gave him new life, sustained him in the agony of almost going to hell, and helped him break free from that terrible curse in his last moments.

For so many years, this place has been his last safe haven, when he is in the most painful, desperate and sad time, only this tree hole will be his only abode, his last place of escape.

For so many years, only Ah Tu could have shared this secret with him in its entirety.

And this time, after leaving here and going out, is there a chance to come back?

Lu Chen was not sure in his heart, but he was no stranger to this feeling, and he was not even afraid, he had experienced many life and death tests many years ago.

He just looked at the tree hole, and suddenly remembered the legend he had heard before, and then said to himself to the empty tree hole, "I heard that you still have a few friends with the same root and origin, leaves, branches, and I don't know when you will be together." ”

The tree hole was silent, and seemed to have no reaction to his words, but in the past ten years, the tree hole has never reacted at all. Lu Chen naturally didn't really regard this tree hole as a spiritual thing, he just thought of saying something casually, and then closed his eyes and continued to be quiet.

Until the sand in the hourglass, slowly, it looks like it is about to run out.

Time passed with the sand, Ah Tu squinted his eyes slightly, Lu Chen leaned against the wall, everything looked so peaceful, as if time had quietly frozen.

Until, Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

Ah Tu seemed to be aware of it, looked up, and then saw Lu Chen standing up silently, expressionless, and said in a flat tone, "Ah Tu, let's go." ”

A white aura flickered in the air.

Like duckweed in the river, like the glimmer of light between heaven and earth, like ants in the human world, so small and humble, quietly appearing in this world.

After the light, Lu Chen and Ah Tu suddenly appeared in the air, and after a moment's pause, their bodies fell sharply.

It was truly an electric moment!

Heaven and earth seem to be still rotating, there are mountains and stones, wind and clouds, light and darkness, and the strange boundary of light and shadow, like a turbulent wave, is rushing from a certain direction.

Lu Chen's pupils suddenly dilated at that moment!

A roar burst out of his mouth!

Heaven and earth swirled, and all things filled his ears with a frenzied roar, but he still stubbornly shook off all these fearful phantoms, and his eyes were fixed for a moment on the most silent, solid, and distant stone behind all the terrible phantoms.

Stone wall!

That's the rock wall of the mountain!

He was roaring, and then stretched out his hands with all his might, desperately grasping the stone wall, only to hear a shrill and low sound, the stone cracked, blood flowed everywhere, his body still slid downward, his hand could not grasp anything, but he desperately grabbed every gap with slight resistance, and after sliding seven or eight times in a row, suddenly, his right hand grasped a stone that was firmly about half a foot out of the wall rock.

"Whew!"

His body stopped suddenly, his whole body weight was supported by a right hand, and the world, which had been chaotic and spinning endlessly, finally stopped in his eyes at this time, and returned to its original appearance.

There was a sharp pain in the palm of his right hand, as if it was a pain like torn flesh and blood, but Lu Chen's reaction to this was only a slight frown, and his face didn't even change much. He hung alone in mid-air and took a soft breath.

The whole world seems to be slowly becoming clear at this time.

It's dawn.

There was a light falling in the sky above the canyon, and the deep dark night had indeed passed, but the cliff path where he had stayed was no longer in front of his eyes, and after taking a closer look, Lu Chen found that the path had not disappeared, but appeared more than ten zhang above his head.

In other words, he fell off that cliff path before, and fell more than ten feet directly in one breath.

Lu Chen subconsciously glanced down, only to see that below his feet, the deep and dark place was like a hideous mouth, as if it was waiting to devour him.

Lu Chen shook his head, stretched out his left hand and groped for a gap in the stone wall that he could grasp, and after sharing the burden of his right hand, the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

But it was at this time that Lu Chen suddenly heard a call from above.

"Wang, Wang, Wang......, Wang,

Lu Chen's spirits perked up, and when he looked up, he saw a huge black dog's head poking out from the cliff path in the high place, looking around, as if he was looking for something, it was Ah Tu.

After a while, Ah Tu saw Lu Chen hanging under the cliff, and immediately lifted his spirits and barked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen also laughed, and then he really laughed, scolded the black dog who was barking happily above, and then said with a smile: "Stupid dog, I can't imagine that my skills are not bad!"

※※※

No matter how anxiously Ah Tu was screaming on it, although Lu Chen looked in a desperate situation at the moment, he was still very calm, and after his body climbed to the cliff and stood firm, he began to try to climb up.

Since this mountain wall was originally known as a cliff, it was naturally steep and extremely difficult to climb, but probably after the earth-shattering monster battle last night, the earth shook and the mountain collapsed, and there were suddenly countless large and small cracks and abrupt cracks on this cliff, but it was much easier to climb than before.

Lu Chen slowly groped all the way to find a foothold and a place to grasp with his hands, climbed up little by little, and after a little half an hour, he really slowly climbed back to the cliff path like this.

When he let out a sigh of relief and sat behind the cliff path two or three feet wide, Ah Tu next to him ran over with a scream, rubbing Lu Chen's body desperately with his head, looking very excited.

Lu Chen laughed, hugged its neck, and gently patted Ah Tu's head.

"It's not easy, I survived again this time. Lu Chen muttered.

Ah Tu raised his head, looking very happy, and was about to call to Lu Chen, when suddenly the faint green light in his eyes flashed suddenly, but he saw the cliff path behind Lu Chen more than twenty zhang away.

The place that had been a cliff was also located, but suddenly, another arm reached out from under the rock, and then clung to the edge of the trail.
