Chapter 72: The Adventures of Five Men (7)
"! Why are those guys in the back chasing like hyenas! Chen Kai shouted breathlessly, of course, it was not because he was tired from running for a long time, but because he was overdrawn by using the shrinking technique to make himself smaller. Unleashing the shrinking spell to make himself smaller in the wild run, Chen Kai felt crazy just thinking about it, but in order not to be surrounded by those players behind, Chen Kai could only do that.
Of course, if Chen Kai knew that there were only hundreds of dark force players chasing behind them, they would choose to turn around and kill back. They didn't know that though, as the narrow passages amplified the player's footsteps and conversations, making them feel extremely numerous.
However, after running wildly, Chen Kai and them distanced themselves from the players behind them, and the most important thing was that at this moment, Chen Kai and they finally looked forward to the best savior, a fork in the road that divided the two sides. Looking at the fork in the road that appeared in front of them, everyone was in an extremely happy mood, because as long as they rushed into the fork in the road, they had a chance to get rid of the pursuers behind.
"Damn! Still haven't caught up! Chen Chong looked at the fork in front of him and smashed his fist angrily on the rock wall, because the light was very dim, and Chen Kai and the others rushed into the passage almost without hesitation, leaving not many clues at all.
"Do you want to split up?" Zhou Yibo, who was standing behind Chen Chong, said softly, but he soon saw Chen Chong's angry eyes and naturally closed his mouth immediately. Because they all know the combat effectiveness of Chen Kai and others, the result of chasing them separately is that they will be directly swallowed by the other party.
"You! And you! You two go into the passage separately! Let's go! Chen Chong yelled at the two thieves behind him, and when he heard his words, the two thieves were stunned for a moment, and their faces turned pale. But in the end, they gritted their teeth and rushed into the darkness, as thieves, their hiding ability is naturally higher than that of ordinary professions, even if they encounter danger, they can rely on the shadow to dodge. There is no class better suited to spy on intelligence than the Rogue class, so the two Rogue players are not happy but still very brave enough to rush into the dark cavern.
"Ahh~~~~~~~~~~h It lasted for nearly ten seconds, and it didn't feel like someone had been cut but was falling.
Yes. This hapless thief is indeed falling. When he cautiously touched into the cave, he had no idea that he would fall into the bottomless abyss with one foot in the air, this abyss was so deep that when the screams disappeared from Chen Chong's team's channel, a full fifteen seconds had passed, and at this time he disappeared because the hapless thief had left the area where the team was located.
"Damn! Stop! Don't go any further! I'm cǎo! Push a yarn!! Chen Chong rushed into the cave the moment he heard the screams, but they quickly saw the part of the cave that had suddenly fallen and disappeared in front of them, holding their torches high. If it weren't for Chen Chong's quick reaction, he would definitely follow the footsteps of the thief in front of him, and his body would fall directly into the bottomless abyss.
"! Back off! Back off! Don't let go!! Chen Chong's body was dragged by a few players behind him, and if their hands were slightly loosened, then Chen Chong would have to say goodbye to his own people. Looking at the bottomless abyss beneath their feet, everyone had foreseen the sad end of the hapless thief.
At the same time, more than a hundred meters below the abyss, Chen Kai and the others hung in the air like a bunch of grapes. If it weren't for their quick enough reaction, they directly drew their weapons and stuck them on the cliff. It is estimated that he has disappeared into the deep abyss like the guy who fell before.
"Boss! Hold on!! Fei Yuan was holding Chen Kai's thigh, and Hu Lansi was hanging on his thigh, as for Chen Kai's other thigh, Guan Yu was hanging on it, and Chen Kai himself was holding Su Xinghe's thigh. The five of them hung in the air like a bunch of big grapes, and the cold wind slowly blew through them, so that the cold sweat on their bodies was quickly dried and turned into grains of salt.
"Don't worry! I can still hold this weight, but can you not pull my pants! Chen Kai's face was flushed at the moment, and he tried his best to hug Su Xinghe's thigh to prevent himself from sliding. Similarly, Su Xinghe was trying hard to support his body, not allowing himself to be dragged down by the people below.
"Can you nail your own weapons to the rock wall! I can't hold it anymore! Su Xinghe's face turned even redder than Chen Kai, and the hand holding the hilt of the giant sword burst out even more, and the entire palm showed a pale color of overexertion.
"Don't! You have to hold on! Old Sue! Brothers, all hanging on you!! Guan Yu felt extremely nervous when he heard Su Xinghe's words, but he saw the player fall from his side with his own eyes. Until now, I have not heard the sound of the other party smashing to the bottom of the abyss, which shows how deep this abyss is.
"Then you guys hurry up for me!" Su Xinghe's words almost came out between his teeth, his hands held the giant sword, and his fingers became whiter and whiter because he had borne too much weight.
"Bell!!" Almost when Su Xinghe's words fell. Guan Yu had already plunged his Judgment Blade into the rock wall on the side. Compared to Su Xinghe's giant sword, Guan Yu's Judgment Blade was even sharper, and it almost penetrated directly without hindrance.
Guan Yu's actions helped Su Xinghe share a lot of weight, and in the end, Chen Kai and the others relied on their respective weapons to hang on the cliff. Of course, this does not allow them to last long, and staying on the cliff, especially half-hanging in the air, consumes several times or even more than ten times the usual body. It's just less than a minute. Su Xinghe's body value had consumed hundreds of points, and he was almost about to fall into the warning zone. However, because of the gem abyss in Burkner Town, Chen Kai and others often prepare a lot of ropes and climbing equipment in their backpacks. So, after no longer having to worry about falling off a cliff, they began to tie their bodies with ropes and attach themselves to their weapons.
Of course, Chen Kai and the others tied the rope to Guan Yu's weapon, after all, among all the weapons, Guan Yu's weapon was inserted into the rock wall at the deepest depth, if it was really to be fixed, then there was no doubt that his weapon was the most firmly fixed. It's just that Guan Yu can't always leave his weapon on the rock wall, but fortunately they have a solution to this problem in their backpack. Because the former town of Berkna also had an underground abyss, how could Chen Kai, as the former lord, not have tools that could fix his body on the cliff in his backpack and space bag. However, they pulled out nothing else but long nails with sharp ends, and the people hanging on the rock wall quickly drove the nails into the rock to replace their weapons, and then laid wooden planks on a row of spikes for stepping on.
It took Chen Kai and the others nearly ten minutes to finish this qiē, but fortunately, Chen Chong and the others above their heads had already left at this time, otherwise they would have attracted these players if the sound of them nailing the spike into the rock wall was not good.
"Whew! It's finally alive! Chen Kai leaned against the rock wall and slowly sat up straight. The creaking plank under his ass looked very dangerous, and because of this, the rope around Chen Kai's waist did not mean to loosen at all.
"You're alive! My hand is about to break! I said that you guys are too unrighteous, and I'm still hanging on it! Su Xinghe looked at the people below and was depressed for a while, thinking that he was suffering on this, but a few of you are sitting down and resting, is it embarrassing.
"Sorry! I'm sorry! I almost forgot about you! Hold on! "Chen Kai, it's not that they didn't think of Su Xinghe, but because they were at least three or four meters away from Su Xinghe at the moment. After all, they were nailed into the spikes according to the position where Guan Yu's Judgment Blade was inserted, so Su Xinghe had no way to get down at the beginning.
Ropes are slowly climbing the dangerous rock wall, and climbing with bare hands is not a comfortable thing to do, because you have no idea if the place you are holding on to is strong enough. Under this pitch-black abyss, Chen Kai's only means of illumination was an illuminated spar that hung around his neck and tied up with a thin rope. The faintly glowing hedron made the faces of the group full of hideousness. Because they need to climb up a little bit along the dangerous rock face.
When Chen Kai and the others saw the cave they had fallen into with the help of the faint light, the only thought in their hearts was that they had finally climbed up. However, they didn't plan to climb into this cave, because Chen Kai and the others felt that since this place had such a deep abyss, it would be possible to find a way out of the underground world if they couldn't climb up the cliff wall of the abyss. Of course, this choice is very dangerous, because you may not be able to find the second cave entrance on the pitch-black abyss cliff wall, and if that is the case, then Chen Kai and they may be completely tragic. But if they climb all the way up the cliff face, then it is also possible to climb out directly through a crack that leads to the ground.
The former represents fear and despair, while the latter represents hope, and the most longing in the minds of the group is hope, not despair. After all, it had been almost a day since they were resurrected in this underground world, and Chen Kai's weakened state was about to disappear. But they still haven't found a possible path to the surface.
"Keep climbing! I don't want to be in front of those guys anymore! Chen Kai checked the lighting hedron hanging around his neck, and they needed to climb up the cliff face little by little. When they climbed, Chen Kai's map kept recording the climbing route, but the cliff at the climbing location in the dark environment was very dangerous, and the most important thing was that you couldn't rest anytime and anywhere. You have to fix yourself before you can take a few breaths.
In this case, those who climb to the front need to exert more effort, and this difficult task is naturally handed over to Guan Yu, who is holding the blade of judgment. Because only he can easily stick his weapon into a solid rock, of course, it is very dangerous to do such a thing in mid-air, and if he is not careful, he will become a mess under the abyss that can't tell whether bones or meat are different. After all, the Judgment Blade is very long, and Guan Yu, who has nowhere to borrow his strength in mid-air, needs to be very careful if he wants to insert his weapon into the rock.
"I say! Can someone else do this errand? I can't hold it anymore! This TMD is so tiring! Guan Yu said to the people below with sweat on his head. Climbing a cliff with bare hands is never an easy task, and climbing upwards is far more difficult than climbing downwards. Because climbing down only requires finding a fixed place to fix the rope and then slowly descending with the rope, but climbing up requires finding a place to climb with bare hands. This means that you simply can't climb in a straight line. Originally, it was only a height of ten meters, but it may be necessary to climb a distance of more than ten meters or even tens of meters.
"Hold on! Wait a minute, I'll be weak and the time will be up, and I'll replace you! Chen Kai's face at the moment is not particularly good-looking, because he is very tired at the moment. In fact, Chen Kai: They can let one person climb up, and then hang down the rope after fixing it, so that not only others can save effort, but those who climb alone will have to take great risks.
"I'll go!" Guan Yu muttered helplessly, and then climbed towards a rock on the side, but his hand had just reached the rock, and his body had not had time to exert himself. The weathered stone was directly smashed, and then Guan Yu, who had half of his body in mid-air, fell down uncontrollably before he could say anything.
"Damn! Prepare for the shock. Grab the fixation on your body!! Looking at Guan Yu who fell above his head, Chen Kai didn't directly stretch out his hand to pull it, because it was too dangerous. They all chose to lie on the rock wall, clutching at the rock and spikes they were hanging onto. Almost at the moment when everyone was ready, a huge pull pulled them down.
"Hold on!!" Chen Kai and their bodies all withstood the force of Guan Yu's downward fall, and this sudden pull made everyone have to hold on to the fixed place next to them and then cling to the cliff. If any one person can't hold on and be dragged down, then the result is that the whole army will be wiped out.
"Bump!!" With a dull collision, Chen Kai and the others saw that Guan Yu's health in the team channel had dropped sharply. But fortunately, he didn't drag Chen Kai and them down the abyss together, otherwise this time he would have been unlucky.
"Guan Er! Are you dead? Chen Kai shouted a few times to Guan Yu below, but Guan Yu, who was hanging in the air with his limbs drooping, did not give any response. There was no doubt that the dull impact had knocked him unconscious.
"What now?" Fei Yuan tried to pull Guan Yu up, but Guan Yu's body that fainted was extremely heavy, and it was not something he could pull and move alone. If you are not careful, you may take yourself down, and when the time comes, others will be unlucky.
"Nail the nail! Let's take a break! Chen Kai sighed helplessly, no one would want to encounter such a thing, but now that this bad situation has happened, there is no way. One by one, the long nails were driven into the rock wall by Chen Kai and the others with difficulty, and then began to lay wooden planks, and only after doing this qiē did they free up their hands and pull Guan Yu who had fainted hard.
Looking at Guan Yu, who had a big bag swollen on his head, everyone understood how fierce the impact that didn't sound very heavy just now was. Fortunately, Guan Yu's head is strong enough. There is also a thick sponge under the helmet, otherwise it may break his neck.
Guan Yu, who was lying on the plank, obviously had no way to continue to be the pioneer of climbing the cliff, and it was already a miracle that he could wake up immediately now, and this miracle obviously did not happen. Because even if Chen Kai released the healing technique to Guan Yu, the other party did not wake up. Chen Kai estimated that Guan Yu would wake up completely, and it would be impossible in less than an hour or two.
"Damn! I felt like I had been kicked in the head! Two hours later, when Guan Yu woke up from the plank, he tried to cover his head, but the sharp pain just touched him and forced him to let go of his hand. Guan Yu, who sat up in pain, staggered to his feet, but the next moment his mind was completely clear. Because he saw the bottomless abyss beneath his feet. The next moment he screamed directly and grabbed the rope on his body to prevent himself from falling off the cliff.
"Oh! Damn it! While Guan Yu was holding the rope, the others who were climbing the rock wall above were almost dragged down by him. Because all the ropes are connected. Guan Yu pulled the rope, and naturally transferred the power to the others.
"Guan Er! You're trying to kill us! Chen Kai scolded in the team channel, he was almost dragged off the cliff just now, fortunately the place where he landed was strong enough, otherwise it would be tragic again if it was not done well this time.
"Sorry! I'm sorry! Guan Yu covered his dizzy head and said sorry in the team channel, and then began to climb up little by little along the rope that Chen Kai and the others left for him.
"How? Found your way out? Guan Yu slowly stepped on Chen Kai's newly opened platform, which was a stone platform on a cliff. For such a place, Chen Kai and they are very satisfied, because it is really a natural resting place for them.
"Nope!" Chen Kai slowly threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire, the orange firelight looked so lonely on the platform, the burning flame could not dispel the cold in everyone's hearts, because the cold wind continued to blow up from under the abyss.
"Anyway, why are you so relieved to leave me below!" Guan Yu covered his head, and after a period of treatment, the big bag on the top of his head finally became swollen. It's just that the bruises left by the big bag still exist, which makes people see at a glance that Guan Yu's head has been injured.
"How don't you worry! The rope has never broke! Su Xinghe patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and handed him a cup of hot spirits, everyone was very surprised that it was so cold in this abyss, and it was almost colder and colder the higher it went. It's just that Chen Kai doesn't have anything in their hands that can calculate the altitude, and the system doesn't display this number jù on the map, so they can't use the altitude to calculate how far they are from the ground.
"It's baked! Let's eat! Fei Yuan stopped the iron frame that was turning in his hand, and the scorching fragrant roast pig was cut by him piece by piece and handed it to everyone. There's nothing more comfortable than eating hot food in such an environment, the cold outside the body will gradually disappear with the heat of the food, and the thick clothing is enough to protect them from the cold wind around them.
Chen Kai, who was holding the barbecue meat in his hand, kept looking around with the help of the light of the fire, but no matter how dazzling the firelight was, he couldn't see the situation dozens of meters away, and the only thing he could see was that there seemed to be a faint shadow in the distance.
