Chapter 33: Misfortune
Bai Yuxuan swam in the water for a few minutes, feeling bored.
So he looked up to see who was the second to come down. It wasn't long before a small figure swayed down from above.
Bai Yuxuan squinted slightly, and after a while, he finally saw that the person who came was Lu Zhentian.
Unlike Bai Yuxuan, Lu Zhentian's descent was very even, and the strategy he used was also very steady.
Lu Zhentian grabbed the rope with both hands and moved down mechanically, each moving almost the same distance.
And Lu Zhentian didn't let go of his hand when he was still two or three meters away from the lake like Bai Yuxuan, Lu Zhentian kept slowly descending, and he didn't let go until his body was completely immersed in the water.
Seeing that Lu Zhentian had arrived smoothly, Bai Yuxuan hurriedly swam forward and shook hands with him.
Then Bai Yuxuan motioned to Lu Zhentian to look underwater, Lu Zhentian didn't understand Bai Yuxuan's intentions, but he still dived into the water as a whole.
After about two minutes, Lu Zhentian suddenly floated up from the water, raised his head and breathed heavily.
Then Lu Zhentian looked at Bai Yuxuan: "What's down there?" ”
Bai Yuxuan stretched out his hand from the water and waved his hand helplessly, meaning that he didn't know either.
"By the way, I almost forgot about business."
Lu Zhentian stretched out his hand and patted his head, quickly took off his gloves and tied them to the rope, and then pulled the rope hard.
Then the rope slowly rose up and slowly disappeared from the field of vision of Bai Yuxuan and the others.
About forty minutes later, Fu Xiao and Chen Chen also came down one after another, and now only Zhou Xiwei was left alone on the cliff.
As Chen Chen tied his gloves to the rope, the rope slowly rose up, and several people in the water began to discuss eagerly.
"Hey, you say, can this rope still withstand Zhou Xiwei's weight?" Fu Xiao seemed to ask the rest of the people appropriately.
"That's definitely no problem, the nylon ropes I bought are the best, tensile and wear-resistant, not to mention a Zhou Xiwei, even if we all go up, this thin rope can withstand it."
Bai Yuxuan said categorically.
As they spoke, a relatively large black dot slowly descended from above.
Because Zhou Xiwei's weight is relatively heavy, he fell extremely hard, he grabbed the rope tightly with both hands, but because he couldn't control his balance, this also caused him to shake extremely hard in mid-air, and even Zhou Xiwei had been spinning in the air for a while, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Xiwei wanted to speed up and descend, but as soon as he accelerated his speed, the balance of his body was not easy to grasp, and the rope began to turn in circles again, so this also made him only slow down.
A long time passed, and finally, Zhou Xiwei was only about three meters away from the lake, but it was at this time that an accident happened.
Although the nylon rope bought by Bai Yuxuan is indeed of good quality, the tensile and anti-wear are all first-class. But the nylon rope used to tie everyone's body not only bears everyone's weight, but also keeps rubbing against the edge of the cliff that is as sharp as a knife, which is equivalent to a knife constantly cutting this rope.
This nylon rope can withstand the weight of the first few people, and it is not easy for them to reach it smoothly.
But under the weight of the last person, Zhou Xiwei, who was close to two hundred catties and the constant friction between the rope and the edge of the cliff, the rope seemed to be finally overwhelmed, and the slender silky rope "snapped" and broke off, and Zhou Xiwei fell from about three meters without warning.
The four people below were intently observing whether Zhou Xiwei was descending smoothly, and the sudden occurrence of this kind of thing also made them unexpected.
"Run!!"
Looking at Zhou Xiwei who fell from the sky, everyone let out a scream and began to scatter and flee.
"Bang! Rushing! Crash! ”
After Zhou Xiwei fell into the water, it was as if a huge stone had been thrown into the calm lake, and there was a water explosion.
The splash was about two meters high, and even if Bai Yuxuan and the others escaped a distance, they would still inevitably be attacked by this water curtain.
When Zhou Xiwei broke the rope, he also let out an exclamation in his throat, but then he fell into the water, only hearing a series of "gurgling" sounds.
Two minutes later, Zhou Xiwei surfaced.
Now all five people have finally arrived, they looked at each other, and they all saw each other's soaked and embarrassed appearance, and they couldn't help laughing.
Since all five of them had successfully arrived, the group was not prepared to stay in the water for a long time, and they all began to swim towards the shore.
The lake was clear and free of debris and it was easy to swim, and after about ten minutes, everyone was already swimming to the shore.
They climbed out of the water and shook off the water. It stands to reason that it should be very cold a few hundred meters underground, but none of them felt unwell.
On the contrary, they feel hot and uncomfortable.
After checking their equipment, they began to look at the village not far away.
When they got closer, the group could see clearly, and the small wooden houses were surrounded along the shore, unconventional.
There were people who walked back and forth between the cabins, in and out. These people are no different from Bai Yuxuan, they are indeed real human beings.
After entering the Ecstasy Valley for so long, and finally seeing a real human being, and there is also a human settlement, Bai Yuxuan and the others suddenly became excited, spread their legs and ran over there.
Just when the group was only a few meters away from the nearest wooden house, Lu Zhentian fell to the ground with a "snap".
The rest of the people didn't care, thinking that Lu Zhentian was just tripping over a small pebble on the road and would soon get up.
But when the rest of the people had already run to the cabin, Lu Zhentian hadn't caught up yet, and only then did Bai Yuxuan realize that something seemed to be wrong.
"Hey! What happened to you?! ”
Bai Yuxuan yelled at Lu Zhentian from afar, but he didn't get a response for a long time.
Bai Yuxuan suddenly panicked, he hurriedly ran towards Lu Zhentian, shouting as he ran, but Lu Zhentian never responded.
It didn't take long for Bai Yuxuan to run in front of Lu Zhentian, he squatted down and found that Lu Zhentian's face was bruised, his expression was hideous, and his hands were still stuck around his neck.
"What's wrong?! What happened?! ”
Bai Yuxuan helped Lu Zhentian up and leaned on his legs to make him half-sitting.
Lu Zhentian looked at Bai Yuxuan from the corner of his eye, and tears flowed from his eyes. Lu Zhentian didn't speak, but obviously it wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that he couldn't speak anymore.
Bai Yuxuan broke Lu Zhentian's hand that was tightly stuck on his neck, and the scene in front of him made his heart tighten, and he actually shed tears for a while.
Lu Zhentian's neck had become jet black, and his entire neck had tightened a lot, as if he could hold it with one hand.
All this made it difficult for Lu Zhentian to breathe and he couldn't speak at all.
What's going on? What happened? It was fine a few minutes ago, how did it suddenly become like this?!
Bai Yuxuan saw Lu Zhentian's situation, he didn't have time to think about it, he called out loudly to Zhou Xiwei and Fu Xiao, let them come over and carry Lu Zhentian over first.
In an instant, something came to Bai Yuxuan's mind.
He remembered that when he was in the tomb above, in the last tomb, Lu Zhentian's neck was choked by the corpse for a long time, and in the end, he rescued Lu Zhentian.
Lu Zhentian must have been poisoned by the corpse, which is why he behaved in such pain.
As for why the corpse poison didn't attack until now, Bai Yuxuan didn't have the energy to dig deeper, because Zhou Xiwei and the three of them had already run over.
"What's wrong with him?!"
Chen Chen looked at Lu Zhentian's appearance and couldn't help covering his mouth tightly.
Zhou Xiwei and Fu Xiao also looked gloomy, but they didn't talk nonsense, Zhou Xiwei raised Lu Zhentian's shoulders, Fu Xiao raised Lu Zhentian's legs, and ran towards the wooden house at a faster speed under the leadership of Bai Yuxuan.
