Chapter 23, The Cliff

This result is not out of nowhere, but a conclusion based on the fragments of countless clues in my mind at the moment, through calculus and logical deduction.

Of course, this conclusion is not necessarily the final conclusion, but it is definitely the one that is closest to the truth.

"Damn it!" Pressing my temples, I couldn't help but think, "What did Grandpa go through?" And did he really come out with the help of a key in the end? ”

However, regardless of Grandpa's method of escaping this place in the end, I must at least find out this place first.

After determining his route, he got up from the ground and walked towards the crack in the wall.

When I looked out at the crack before, I vaguely saw a little black shadow above the abyss, like a suspension bridge across it.

"Could this be the entrance?"

With this in mind, I poked my head out again, and the first thing I came into contact with beyond the crack was a small piece of convex ground for a single person to settle down on, and beyond the ground was an abyss.

I turned on my flashlight and looked towards the place where I had seen the dark shadow before, and sure enough, under the strong wind, I heard the sound of the iron lock clattering.

Not only that, but I also made a new discovery where the light and shadow intertwined, that is, as far as the eye could see in the same direction, there was a platform, which was the connection point of the drawbridge on this side of the abyss, and that platform could be walked along the convex ground outside the stone outside.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, I finally shook my head and walked out of the stone chamber.

Then for the next half hour, I kept walking in the woods in a depressed way, but I couldn't find a way out, and finally I had no choice but to follow the "whining" wind back to the stone room.

"Phew" clapped his palms and gritted his teeth, I still decided to take this dangerous path. Otherwise, finding an exit in this mountain is even more difficult than walking through a labyrinth, and sooner or later Lao Tzu will starve to death here.

I first put the flashlight in my mouth, then put my hand on the vine, and finally turned sideways and got out like this.

"Hiss ......" gasped, and at this moment the wind blowing from the abyss of the valley carried my clothes with the sound of hunting, and my scalp was cold.

Grabbing a vine growing from the outside with both hands, he swallowed his saliva and looked down at the bottom of the cliff, where was an abyss, unfathomable, and the light of the flashlight was submerged under it, completely swallowed without leaving a trace.

Standing here, just looking at it makes me sweat profusely.

Closing his eyes, he grabbed the branch with more strength in his hand, raised his head and exhaled deeply. Slowly move your steps and start walking forward.

In this way, I walked for more than ten minutes when I could have walked in a few minutes, but even so, there was an accident halfway through......

I was leaning against the wall as I counted my heartbeat, and then another voice came to me at the sound of branches blowing in the valley.

The sound came so fast that it was like someone was grabbing a branch on a tree and swinging wildly, and I secretly felt that it was not good, and then I looked up, and sure enough, a huge black shadow fell towards me.

An almost instinctive reaction caused me to let go of the branch and turn sideways and leap sharply.

The next second, a loud sound exploded in my ears.

Fuck, it's a rock, a rock the size of a computer case that rolled down from above.

But fortunately, I escaped this thing, otherwise I would have been lying dead under the abyss. But even so, the current situation is still very bad for me, because I was in a hurry to dodge, and I jumped a little far, just let go of my body, and my feet slipped and almost didn't fall down by myself, but fortunately, my eyes were fast, and I buckled the convex part of the mountain with one hand, and there was no accident.

Raising my head, the flashlight from my mouth went up, and I saw a black figure flickering above the dense branches.

"It's so dangerous that there are branches in the way, otherwise, the stone will fall silently, and I will probably be stoned to death."

I said in my heart that it was okay, and hurriedly exerted force with both hands, wanting to climb up.

"Babble, babble, woo!" The shadow didn't succeed in one blow, and a loud cry came out of his mouth.

It was at this time that I suddenly realized that the voice I had heard before was not the sound of the wind but the cry of the shadow, which had actually been leading me here.

"Damn, what the hell is it?"

I struggled to tilt my neck and crawl as I turned my head to try to locate the light, but the shadow moved fast above the stone chamber, and kept picking up the stone and throwing it down, and I couldn't see who it was.

It wasn't long before there was movement overhead, and I screamed bitterly, and before I had time to climb up, I hurriedly used my hands and feet to climb and move on the cliff.

Sure enough, in the next second, another huge stone rolled down from under my position.

It was even larger than the previous one, rubbing and falling on the mountain, making a deafening sound and finally falling into the abyss, without a single movement coming back.

The palms of my hands were starting to sweat slightly, and I didn't know how deep it was, but I knew that there must be a guy up there who was going to kill me.

Who is it? Shorty? Or skinny?

I don't know, and now is not the time to worry about that, I need to get out of this place.

I continued to climb on the rock wall with both hands, and at the same time there were countless stones falling down on me, some of them were big and small, and some of them smashed on my hands, and I didn't dare to make more movements after I was in pain.

But this is not a danger, what really makes me see danger, but suddenly comes in the next moment, it is the wind...... It's airflow......

The wind lifted me up, and I had to sink myself on the edge of the rock face so that I wouldn't be blown away.

I was a little caught off guard at this moment, after all, no one expected that the wind in the abyss of the canyon would reach the point of blowing people.

But even so, the wind is still not small, but tends to get stronger.

In an instant, my whole body was blown up, and the flashlight in my mouth swayed with the swing of my head, swaying around, the interlacing of light and shadow, looking at my head dizzy, and finally the palm of my hand gradually detached from the cliff, and the whole body began to float into the cracks.

"Poke."

It was at this time that I learned that the shadow had not succeeded in the first blow, and that the next small stone was not intended to be used to kill me, but to keep me free to climb to the ground, because "it" knew that in this place, the real deadly thing was actually the cross wind between the valleys......

"It's not good, something is going to happen."

His hands and feet were cold, and his blood seemed to freeze under the crisis.

In a panic, the flashlight fell from my mouth, and it was pitch black in front of me, and the time was suddenly extended, and I watched as the light fell into the abyss one step ahead of me, illuminating a rock wall on the cliff.

"Damn ......"

My mind went blank, but at the last moment, something grabbed me.

The short-circuited brain circuit was reconnected, and I gasped for air.

It's a hand, it's a person.

"Who?"
