Chapter 12: The Mysterious Cave
Zheng Chen's sleep after a full meal was extremely sweet, if there was one word to describe it, it was dark.
When Zheng Chen woke up, it was already half past nine in the evening, Han Feng didn't come back as a matter of course, Zheng Chen opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water and drank half a bottle before walking into the bathroom with a change of clothes.
After taking a comfortable shower and changing into a set of clean underwear, Zheng Chen put on a game helmet and re-entered "Top of the Sky".
Zheng Chen had just entered the game when his eyes were squinted by a strong gust of wind blowing on him.
"Thank you for the welcome, but next time hopefully you can do it differently"
Zheng Chen muttered to himself for a while, then bent down again and began to observe the situation under the cliff, the cliff was still filled with a thick fog, Zheng Chen frowned and thought for a moment, and finally decided to go down and have a look.
Zheng Chen took out the rope around his waist and looked left and right, and soon saw a boulder on the edge of the cliff.
That's you!
Zheng Chen fixed one end of the rope to the boulder, tied the other end to his waist, and then wrapped all the extra ropes around his waist.
When he came to the edge of the cliff, Zheng Chen first looked down, and finally ruthlessly, after silently reciting the sentence 'God bless', his body leaned back, and the whole person fell down the cliff.
As Zheng Chen continued to fall, the rope wrapped around his waist was also constantly decreasing, about fourteen or fifteen meters down, Zheng Chen suddenly grabbed the rope with both hands, and with the support of strong external strength, Zheng Chen's originally falling body suddenly stopped.
Zheng Chen, who had stopped descending, breathed a sigh of relief and looked down the cliff again, but he still couldn't see the situation below, the fog here was too heavy.
Zheng Chen had no choice but to let go of the hand holding the rope and continue down, just like that, Zheng Chen had been descending for about 70 meters before he felt that the fog around him was lighter.
Looking at the few ropes left around his waist, Zheng Chen was very worried, and he didn't know if the remaining ropes were enough to reach the bottom of the cliff by himself.
"The last 30 meters!"
Zheng Chen drank a sentence and then let go of the hand holding the rope again, as his body gradually descended, the fog around him was also constantly decreasing, and after descending about 10 meters or so, Zheng Chen finally saw the scenery under the cliff.
He saw that there was a cave on the cliff, and there was a stone platform in front of the cave entrance, and there were two demon cult believers dressed in black on the stone platform.
Zheng Chen knew that the cave below should be his destination.
said that it was too late, and when Zheng Chen was about ten meters away from the entrance of the cave, he suddenly grabbed the rope with both hands, and stopped his falling body in time.
Although Zheng Chen's falling body stopped, because under the action of force, his body crashed uncontrollably towards the cliff wall, and the distance of ten meters was not long, but it was not short, and if it hit it, it would definitely make a sound.
Zheng Chen hurriedly bent his body in his waist and abdomen, and before his body hit the cliff wall, he stretched out his right foot and tapped it on the cliff wall, this time the force was very soft, and there was no movement.
Just when Zheng Chen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, there was an extremely slight cracking sound on the cliff wall that he had just clicked with his right foot.
This sound may be just an inaudible sound in other people's ears, but in Zheng Chen's ears, it is like a thunderbolt.
It's the sound of rock breaking!
The gentle kick just now hit a piece of unsturdy gravel!
When Zheng Chen looked for a sound, he saw that a thumb-sized gravel had fallen from the cliff.
"Oops!"
Zheng Chen secretly screamed that it was not good, if this stone fell, it would definitely attract the attention of the two demon sect believers below, and he would definitely be discovered at that time, although the two demon sect believers who were guarding the door were not to be afraid, but there must be an extremely powerful existence hidden in this cave, nothing else, just the female demon sect messenger before was enough to drink a pot for himself.
Saying that it was too late, almost subconsciously, Zheng Chen let go of his hand holding the rope, and the whole person actually fell down again.
At this time, Zheng Chen's eyes only had the falling gravel in front of him, and he had to catch it before the gravel fell to the entrance of the cave!
Eight meters ...... Six-meter ...... Four-meter ...... Two meters!
When the gravel fell to a distance of about 2 meters on the entrance of the cave, Zheng Chen reached out and grabbed the gravel dangerously, and Zheng Chen didn't even dare to breathe during the whole process.
You must know that below 2 meters are two Demon Sect believers, and now they can hear even if Zheng Chen farts.
As long as the two Demon Sect believers raised their heads, Zheng Chen was basically cold.
At this time, Zheng Chen grasped the rope with his right hand to control his body, and grabbed the gravel with his left hand, just hanging motionless above the entrance of the cave, although it was a cold winter, Zheng Chen felt that his back was soaked with sweat at this moment.
Now Zheng Chen only has two wishes, the first, the demon sect believers below must not look up, and the second, he can go back safely!
But Zheng Chen knew that these two wishes were not something he could say, and now Zheng Chen could be said to be extremely sad, he couldn't go up or down, and he didn't dare to move or make a sound, so the two Demon Sect believers just relied on Zheng Chen so stubbornly.
Time passed in the stalemate between the two sides, and Zheng Chen thought countless times that he might as well jump down and kill the two Demon Sect believers, but whenever this idea arose, he would think of the female Demon Sect envoy before.
Zheng Chen didn't know anything about the situation in the cave, and he would never dare to act rashly until the last moment.
Just when Zheng Chen had already endured to the limit, the two Demon Sect believers below actually turned around and walked into the cave, and the departure of the two Demon Sect believers gave Zheng Chen a little breathing space.
Zheng Chen first threw away the gravel in his left hand, and then planned to climb back along the rope, but after climbing twice, Zheng Chen stopped moving.
He looked down at the entrance of the cave that was close at hand, because his face was covered by a black scarf, no one could see Zheng Chen's expression at this time, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.
At this time, Zheng Chen seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and instead of climbing up, he slowly fell down.
Zheng Chen's speed was very slow, his hands alternated, his body fell down almost inch by inch, when he came to the entrance of the cave, Zheng Chen's waist and abdomen were forced, and the whole person turned directly upside down with the support of the rope, turning his feet up and his head down.
Zheng Chen's legs directly wrapped around the rope to fix his posture, and then poked his head down slightly to look into the cave, the cave was not as dark as he imagined, and there would be a lampstand every five or six meters on both sides of the cave wall for lighting.
Because of the existence of these lampstands, Zheng Chen easily saw the situation in the cave, there was nothing in it, and at the end of the cave, Zheng Chen clearly saw several forks in the road.
Zheng Chen pondered for a moment before untying the rope around his waist, and a beautiful swallow flipped over, and his body fell to the ground lightly.
Since the decision was made, Zheng Chen no longer hesitated, and took a step directly towards the cave.
