Groove in ditch?

I squinted my eyes and felt like my mind was a little messed up because the terrain was too complex to fathom.

But no matter what, I finally climbed up from the burial ditch below, and I turned to look at the deep ravine behind me and spat on it.

Hiss!

The little red snake made a sound beside it, and it had been waiting for me to climb up, sticking out its tongue at me, and then swimming towards the depths of the canyon.

I didn't hesitate, adjusted my breathing, and left with the little red snake.

The canyon was very deep, and after walking for about tens of meters, I suddenly found the corpses of more than a dozen arm-thick, hundred-legged centipedes on the ground, two of which were seriously injured, but not dead, and were struggling and crawling on the ground.

I also saw more than a dozen corpses on the ground, in addition to the thick ashes that had been burned to the ground.

Unlike the bones under the burial ditch, although the corpses in front of him are horizontal and vertical, they are faintly arranged in a straight line.

Among them, I also saw a carrion corpse wearing the same uniform as the carrion corpses in the burial ditch!

After a little thought, I realized that these people must have fallen from the chain bridge and died, and some of them may have set themselves on fire and then fell down and burned to ashes.

Some may have found the problem of the iron cable suspension bridge, like the second master, climbed the chain and passed, but unfortunately fell and fell to death.

Above where I am now, there is the iron suspension bridge, but when I look up, I see nothing but darkness.

I don't know if the second master is still on it?

"Second master? Are you still on it? ”

After much hesitation, I finally opened my throat and shouted to the top of the cliff.

The sound echoed in the canyon, spreading far away and lingering for a long time.

I think this canyon is deeper, but it can amplify the sound infinitely, and if the second master is on it, he should be able to hear his own shouts.

However, after waiting for half a minute, no one on the canyon responded.

shouted a few more times, but still no one answered, it seems that the second master is not on it and has already left.

The rock walls on both sides were steep, and we couldn't climb up with Yan Xiaoying on our backs like just now, so we could only continue to walk forward.

At that moment, there was a strange sound of a rope from the top of the canyon, and then I saw a dozen centipedes with thick arms crawling down from it.

When I saw those centipedes climbing down the cliff, I couldn't help but curse.

These centipedes must have been the same group that had been chasing us before, and I didn't expect them to crawl down, as if they were led down by my shouting.

However, the next scene made me a little dumbfounded, the dozen centipedes crawled down, and suddenly stopped when they were still seven or eight meters away from me.

Then, as if frightened, they suddenly turned around, climbed up faster than they came down, and disappeared from my thoughts in the blink of an eye.

What's going on?

Didn't they smell human and come to attack me?

Why did you leave all of a sudden?

No, to be precise, they should have escaped!

What makes them so afraid?

I remembered something, looked down to look for the little red snake, and then I saw that it was wrapping an arm-thick centipede around the snake's body, and the snake's head was lowered, and it pierced the centipede's head at once, killing the latter.

Seeing it like this, I suddenly realized that those hundred-legged centipedes just now were afraid of the power of the little red snake, and after sensing its existence, they quickly fled.

Maybe this is the suppression of the level between the poisons, just like the group of ghost-faced crabs in the crystal cave, in the face of the little red snake, ordinary ghost-faced crabs don't even have the courage to resist.

I was speechless in my heart, thinking that if only the little red snake had been by my side before, at least it could deter other poisons. Maybe then Yan Xiaoying and I won't suffer this calamity, right?

But it was too late to think about it, so I shook my head and saw that the little red snake had killed the two centipedes that were struggling on the ground, and beckoned it.

The little red snake swayed its body and continued towards the depths of the canyon.

With it exploring the way ahead, I feel a lot more relieved, at least except for the Flying Centipede King, I don't have to be afraid of other centipedes appearing.

Don't even fear the escape of the blood rat for a retaliation sneak attack.

The ravines inside this mountain tomb do not look like an ancient tomb at all, if you look at Centipede Ridge from the outside, you can't imagine such a scene inside its mountain.

I carried the unconscious Yan Xiaoying on my back and followed the little red snake towards the depths of the canyon, and found that the deeper I went, the narrower the canyon became.

In the end, the width of the canyon was only arm width, and when I looked at the more than ten meters ahead, the canyon shrank into a palm-sized crack, and it was no longer possible to move forward.

We're at the end of the canyon at the moment, and looking around, there's no passage to the rest of the place, or a secret door or anything like that.

Hiss!

The little red snake sprang up and wrapped itself around my arm, its eyes looking over the crack.

"You mean to let me go up?"

I looked at the little red snake, looked up at the top of my head, and asked in a daze.

Unexpectedly, the little red snake nodded very seriously to my inquiry.

"This ......"

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and my face was a little ugly, because I didn't know how high it was because I didn't see the top above the crack.

The wound on his chest was aching, and it was so torturous that he had climbed up from the burial ditch before, and now he had to climb up again.

But if you think about it, we have reached the end of the canyon at this time, there is no way ahead, and even if we turn back, we will only return to the burial ditch, and the only feasible thing now is to climb up the canyon.

There was no other choice, I sat on the ground and rested for more than ten minutes, checking whether the rope that bound Yan Xiaoying on my body was loose, and finally took a deep breath and decided to follow the wishes of the little red snake and climb up the canyon.

I'm in a very cramped position, with my arms outstretched to support the rock walls on either side.

With his own strength, supporting the rock walls on both sides, he should be able to take Yan Xiaoying to climb up, but if it is too high, I am afraid that he will lose his physical strength in the end......

When I was a child, I tried to climb up the wall like this, which was very physically demanding, not to mention that there was another person behind me now, even if my strength was increased now, my confidence was a little lacking.

But life is like this, sometimes when faced with the unknown, you have to take a risk and try. What's more, I don't have a choice at all now, so I can only grit my teeth and bite the bullet.

At first, the climb was quite smooth, the rock walls on both sides were not slippery, and there were some uneven places for the feet to support and borrow, but the force was too great, which affected the wound on the chest, and the pain was uncomfortable.

I gritted my teeth and insisted, thinking about the centipede poison in my body before, when I fell into the abyss of the cliff, Yan Xiaoying jumped down without hesitation to save me, and then fought with the four-winged centipede in the process of falling.

It's been more than the first time that she's saved me with her life in spite of this.

Now that she is unconscious, only I can protect her, think about what reason she has not to persevere, what is this kind of small injury compared to Yan Xiaoying?

In the past, I didn't have the strength, and I was housed in my body by the soul of the Daomen Heavenly Master, and I couldn't help myself, so I often had to protect Yan Xiaoying, Jingmei and others, and I watched them get hurt for me again and again, but I couldn't do anything about it.

Especially in the Heavenly Secret Realm, Jingmei dealt with the Yin soldiers, and did not hesitate to wake up from their slumber and send me away. Something like that, a blow like that, I don't want to go through it again.

This is why I mentioned apprenticeship to the second master before, because I wanted to improve my strength.

Yan Xiaoying once warned me before that the world of yin people is respected by strength. Only when you are strong can you protect the people you want to protect, and you will not be bullied.

At that time, I was a little unimpressed, thinking that it was no longer the era of cold weapons, relying on modern technology and brains, no matter how strong my own strength was, could I withstand the attack of thermal weapons such as aircraft and artillery?

Looking back now, I was really naïve and ridiculous......

How can you be qualified to get access to such a thermal weapon as an aircraft cannon with your own identity?

In the world of yin people, the strong are respected.

I've already embarked on this path, and I can't help but strive to be strong in order to survive and protect the people I want to protect.

Although the old man didn't teach me anything, the experience during this period of time made me more and more aware of the identity of the "mountain keeper".

Carrying Yan Xiaoying on his back in the cracks of the narrow rock wall, he struggled to climb up, and there was no place to rest and settle down. It's like sailing against the current, as long as you are a little slack, you will fall from a height of dozens of meters, not only will you lose your life, but you will also kill Yan Xiaoying behind you.

After climbing twenty or thirty meters, I didn't see the end of the wall above, I was a little exhausted, but I couldn't give up and continued to grit my teeth and persevere.

I struggled to climb up, and just as I was about to lose my support, I suddenly saw several arm-thick vines extending down from above.

The vine was bare, without branches and leaves, and its face was covered with an old layer of skin, and it seemed to have withered after I don't know how many years it had grown.

This is really a rare thing, I can't imagine that there will be vines growing in the depths of the earth.

As we all know, most plants rely on their leaves for photosynthesis to survive, and few plants do not need sunlight to survive.

It's amazing that this vine has grown here.

I was so tired that I didn't have time to think about it so much, so I reached out and grabbed the vine, thinking that the vine was dead, and I couldn't bear my own weight plus Yan Xiaoying's weight.

So at the beginning, I didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of pulling it off.

But when I grasped the vine, I found that the old bare vine was as hard as iron to the touch, and as heavy as an iron chain.

Until the strength of Yan Xiaoying and I was added, the old vine was not broken.

It turned out that the old vine was still alive, and it looked like it was withered from the surface, but in fact it was still alive, and it was many times tougher than ordinary vines.

This situation made me very happy, and I immediately tied two old vines together and tied a knot, and then stepped on them, fixed my body, and rested to recover my strength.

After resting for about ten minutes, my physical strength recovered a lot, and I continued to climb with the old vine.

With the old vine climbing, it is much less labor-saving than climbing with both hands and feet supporting the rock walls on both sides.

In this way, when I was tired, I rested, and climbed about seventy or eighty meters, and I probably estimated that I should also reach the horizontal position of the iron suspension bridge.

Sure enough, a crack appeared a few meters above, and I turned over and climbed onto the fault, and there was a cliff path similar to a plank road.

To be exact, it is a cliff platform two meters wide and more than ten meters long.

In fact, the crack is still stretching upwards, and it has not reached the end at all.

I stood firm, took a deep breath, adjusted my posture and looked around, and at a glance I saw a deep stone cave appear on the inside of the wall of the platform.

The entrance of the stone cave is about five meters high, about three or four meters wide, oval-shaped, the inside is pitch black without the bottom, and there are several arm-thick black old vines extending from the inside, hanging down under the cracks.

That's right, the old vine that fell down the cliff climbed out of this deep hole......
