"It should be the Chu State over there, and the way down the mountain should be easier than going up the mountain, right?" Although everyone had tried their best to protect it, Ju Yuanguang's body bones were too weak, and he was still infected with the wind cold, he pointed to the southeast of the mountain peak and coughed for a while before speaking.

"I asked several soldiers from the Chu State, and I only knew that from here, it was a small city in the Chu State. But no one has ever been to this mountainous area, and they don't know what the road conditions are. Zhu Chenan on the side said.

"No matter what the road conditions are? We must get out of this mountain and successfully reach the Chu State. In this way, the brothers who have put their lives here can turn a blind eye. Yang Yun said loudly.

The air on the top of this mountain is thin, and the mountain wind is particularly strong, not only cold, but also blowing so that people can hardly stand on their feet. Camping in this place is certainly not a wise choice. Therefore, after Yang Yun asked everyone to rest for a short time, he took advantage of the fact that there was still an hour or two before it was dark, and asked everyone to climb over the top of the mountain and go in the direction of Chu State.

The speed of going down the mountain was indeed much faster than going up the mountain, and everyone walked forward step by step with wooden sticks. When it came to a slightly steeper place, some people simply sat on the snow and slid straight down, and some even rolled and climbed so that their faces were covered with snow, which made the team laugh.

This long-lost laughter made everyone's depressed mood much better, and maybe this good mood brought good luck to everyone. When it was almost dark, they found a small valley recessed, where there was no wind, and some dry wood could be found.

Someone tried to hold the fire fold and blew it for a long time, but it was able to ignite it. This time, everyone was happy again, and finally they could drink hot water again.

This night's camping is the best in the past few days, maybe because of too tired, maybe because everyone is relaxed, or maybe it is the hot ginger soup that makes everyone feel comfortable, and everyone's sleep is particularly fragrant this night.

When everyone got up the next day, the sun was still out, and the sun shone on the white snow, shining the snow very brightly.

A series of successes made everyone feel good, it seems that they have passed the most difficult section, and everyone is full of confidence in successfully walking out of this snow-capped mountain and entering the Chu State.

But the cruel truth disappointed everyone's hopes again, and the sun came out to disperse some of the clouds in the mountains, and everyone could barely see the road ahead.

This mountain is generally a little gentler on the side of Dafu, and close to the side of Chu, although the wind is lighter, and the temperature is slightly higher, but the slope is particularly steep, and everyone has just walked forward for more than an hour, and the way is blocked by the cliff.

The cliff was so neat that it looked like it had been cut by a knife, and the faint of heart would tremble with fear when they stuck their head out of the cliff.

Everyone looked carefully under the cliff, but found that the mountainside was covered with clouds and mist, and it was impossible to see how far down it was.

"Report to Your Highness, I asked my brothers to look around, but they didn't find any way down, it seems that we can only use ropes to descend from this cliff." Chen Shan, who led a part of the guards to explore the way in front, came back and reported to Yang Yun.

"But now I can't see clearly, how high is it down there, and what is the situation down there? How do you guys go down! Yao Xia on the side frowned and said.

"Lord Yao, the villain is more flexible, I am willing to go down to explore the way first, figure out the situation below, and then make the next decision." Chen Shan continued.

"Oh well! You have to be careful, if something happens, you just shake the rope and we'll have someone pull you up. What Chen Shan said was obviously the only way now, and Yang Yun had to agree to his plan.

In the end, in order to take care of each other, everyone prepared five sets of ropes on the edge of the cliff. Each set of ropes is made up of several thick ropes, which are hundreds of meters long.

The rope on the top was tied to the big tree at one end, and more than a dozen soldiers held it tightly at the other end, tying the rope to the waists of Chen Shan and other five pathfinder warriors, and putting it down little by little.

At first, you can still see the figures of the five pathfinders, but when they reach the clouds and mist on the mountainside, everyone can't see their figures.

Under the nervous attention of everyone, the rope was lowered little by little, and the dozen or so soldiers who grabbed the rope did not dare to relax at all, so they could only slowly put the rope down.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the middle group of soldiers who were holding on to the rope: "There is no weight on the other end of the rope." ”

Sure enough, the dozen or so soldiers holding the rope gently shook the rope to Yang Yun and the others, indicating that there was indeed no weight underneath.

This scenario makes everyone nervous, because there are only a few possibilities for this situation.

The best possibility is that the Pathfinder has made it to the bottom of the cliff. But there is also the bad possibility that the Pathfinder has fallen off the rope and fallen under the cliff.

But at this time, there was finally good news that made everyone excited. Because this rope suddenly shook strongly from the bottom to the top, this was the code made by everyone and Chen Shan and others at that time, indicating that they had reached the bottom of the cliff safely.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining ropes also appeared one after another, and a stone in everyone's hearts finally fell to the ground.

At this time, a shout suddenly came from under the cliff, although because the wind and snow were too strong, it was not clear what they were shouting? But this is enough to prove that the five pathfinders all reached the bottom of the cliff safely.

At this time, everyone hurriedly went to check the fallen rope, and it can be judged from the length of the rope that the distance from the cliff to the cliff is fifty or sixty zhang.

After about two pillars of incense had passed, the rope in the middle began to shake violently again, and the group of soldiers who had been guarding there hurriedly began to pull the rope upwards.

Because according to the agreement at the beginning, after checking the following situation, Chen Shan, who was in charge of leading the team, would return to the top of the cliff again.

Time passed little by little, and a head came out from under the cliff, who else was it not Chen Shan?

At this time, Chen Shan was a little embarrassed, his body was covered with mud, grass blades and snowflakes, his hair was also a little messy, and even some places were scratched by stones, and there were faint traces of blood flowing.

But Chen Shan had a smile on his face, and this smile immediately gave everyone a good mood. It seems that the situation under the cliff is not bad, and it can be acted on as originally planned.

"There is a flat area under the cliff that can accommodate our 30,000 soldiers, but there are some sharp stones on the cliff, and there are many places where the five of us have already made notes, and when we put the ropes later, we will avoid those places as much as possible." When he arrived at the cliff, Chen Shan didn't care about his fatigue and immediately reported to Yang Yun.

Under Chen Shan's command, everyone gathered all the ropes, divided them into hundreds of groups, separated them along the cliff, and drooped towards the county cliff.

Immediately after that, everyone was divided into many groups, and they descended down the cliff in groups, and some people found some vines. They were made into simple hanging baskets, and the emaciated scribes, as well as the soldiers who had been sick a few days before, were put down in hanging baskets.

Due to the large number of people, although they were divided into hundreds of groups, when everyone went down to the bottom of the cliff, the sky was already full of sunset.

Chen Shan and some of the agile soldiers were the last to descend the cliff, because without the help of their companions, it was much more difficult for them to slide, and they completely relied on the strength of their limbs to descend little by little.

On this day, everyone was very tired, and there was a large clearing under the cliff where they could camp.

At the bottom of the cliff, there was no snow here, only small clumps of snow accumulated on the trees or leaves.

Not far away, there was a small stream, which the soldiers ran over with great joy and took out the water from the cleared stream. After a few days at the top of the mountain, because there was no water to be found, the water bladder froze again, and everyone drank a lot of snow water, and now they feel that the water of this stream is so sweet.

This place is inaccessible, so there are all kinds of birds and animals that live, but they can be regarded as suffering when they meet this group of soldiers who have been eating dry food for several days in a row.

So for dinner that day, there was roasted game. It's just that because the quantity is too small, everyone can only get a small amount, and even some people can't even get a share at all, so they can only endure the drooling and continue to gnaw on the dry food.

The soldiers who descended the cliff in front of them went to check the road ahead in advance, so the next day, everyone should not follow the marks made by the soldiers who explored the way.

Since the mood was much better, everyone had the energy to watch the scenery in the mountains.

At this time, the mountain streams are sloppy, all kinds of birds are chirping in the mountains, and all kinds of unknown small flowers are set off with green vegetation, which sets off the mountain streams very beautifully.

Since there was almost no one who had been here, everyone had to walk along the way. When thorny bushes stood in the way, he spread them out with a wood knife and wanted to cross some streams, and if they were shallow, they would wade through the water, and if the water was too fast, they would see some trees forming a simple wooden bridge.

The speed of the descent is indeed much faster than the ascent of the mountain, and the temperature rises a lot as everyone goes all the way down. This situation makes everyone happy, and it seems that it is not far from getting out of the mountains.

Since there was no road to walk in the mountains, they came up with a way to follow the stream all the way downstream.

At this time, the team suddenly stopped, and Yang Yun was about to find someone to go to the front to take a look. At this time, a guard ran back from the front, panting and coming to Yang Yun and reporting a depressing news to him.

There is no road ahead, and everyone can't think of a way, and they can't find a way to move on.

There would be such a situation, Yang Yun took Ju Yuanguang and the others to the front to take a look. Seeing Yang Yun and Ju Yuanguang, the soldiers hurriedly stood on the side of the road and let them go ahead.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

The stream flows here, and the water suddenly drops, forming a high waterfall that falls straight down from above.

"I looked down with your binoculars, and I could see a mountain road in the distance, which means that we can go out of the mountains as long as we go down from this waterfall. I've been looking around here for a long time, but I can't find a way down. Yao Xia handed the telescope in his hand to Yang Yun and said helplessly.

"Will we be able to descend by rope like we did last time?" Yang Yun asked Chen Shan beside him.

"Your Highness, this place is full of water, and the rocks on the mountain wall are very slippery, and it is much more dangerous to descend from here than it was yesterday." Chen Shan's words were obviously the same as the thoughts of several soldiers who often walked mountain roads, and they also added in a rambling manner.

"I just looked at it, and there seems to be a way down the mountain on the other side. If we could cross this valley of about twenty or thirty feet to the opposite cliff, it would be much easier. Yao Xia continued.
