Chapter 101: Afraid of the Dark

Hundred-year-old trees like this usually have deep roots, and since some of their roots are exposed in the hollow valley, it means that the hollow valley is deeper than their roots! How are we going to go down? Cao Zhijin asked Phi Xingdao.

Phi Xing looked up and pointed to the upside-down rattan hanging high and asked, "Is this rattan strong?"

Cao Zhijin held the Night Pearl and looked in the direction of his finger, only faintly seeing the outline of the rattan. - His eyesight at night is too good! Can you see it from so far?

Phi Xing was surprised to see her, and knew what she was thinking.

In fact, it's not that his eyesight is good at night, it's just that he has long been used to seeing things clearly at night!

Cao Zhijin got closer, saw the tree clearly, and said: "This is an evergreen tree, and the rattan on the tree is the strongest rattan, we can use this rattan as a rope to climb down slowly!"

"It's just ......," she said with some embarrassment, "I just dropped your sword, and now how do I get that rattan down?" ”

It is absolutely impossible to pull down the rattan by barely reaching a little, this kind of rattan is strong, and only the part of the rattan root joint can be truncated.

But with such a tall tree, not to mention finding the root joints of the rattan, it is not easy to climb even halfway to the position of the rattan.

Besides, the forest is damp now, and the trees are easy to slip, so it is not easy to climb at all!

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the figure of the star turn into a black shadow and easily leap onto the sturdiest branch of the big tree.

This branch is the closest branch to the ground, and further up, even if you have a light skill, you can't be sure that you can jump up and stabilize your body!

Cao Zhijin saw him standing on the branch for a while, and suddenly understood what he wanted to do! Cover your ears and run to the side.

As soon as she ran over, a branch of the evergreen vine growing on it was chopped off by the palm of the star, and it just fell right at her feet!

"Don't you know how to say hello?" Cao Zhijin said angrily.

Phi Xing easily jumped down from the tree and looked at her playfully: "Aren't you running quite fast?"

Cao Zhijin is speechless!

Forget it, she doesn't care about him in general!

"I see you're too nervous, like a fool, if you keep looking like this, what if you can't recognize Songzi later?" Phi Xing walked over and handed her a dagger.

"What?" Cao Zhijin looked at the dagger in the cold light and did not reach out to take it.

Phi Xing threw the dagger directly at her feet.

"Get to work! Chop down the ivy and twist it into a rope! ”

"I won't!"

Cao Zhijin's voice had not yet fallen, and he only heard Phi Xing say: "I'll teach you!"

I saw him pick up two evergreen vines and tie a special knot, and then threw them into Cao Zhijin's arms, explaining: "This knot is the strongest, just tie it like this!"

Cao Zhijin resigned himself to knotting the evergreen vines one by one and connecting them into two rattan ropes of sufficient length. - Revenge, he must be revenge for her just throwing his sword down!

The two tied the rope to the trunk of a tree at one end and around their waists at the other. Prepare all this, Phi Xing volleyed at the position of the gluttonous grass, and split the position into a piece of space for a person to shuttle through!

They grabbed the ivy and went underground, which was darker and quieter than outside, and a strong smell of wet earth rushed to their faces.

Because Cao Zhijin was holding the evergreen vine with both hands, she temporarily put away the night pearl.

At this time, there was no light on all sides, and they could only rely on groping to discern the situation around them.

The darkness in front of her was so panicked that she wanted to stop and take out the Night Pearl a few times to see what was going on around her, but she was sure that once she let go of her hand, she would definitely fall, so she held back!

The Drape of Stars is below her.

Before going down, Phi Xing tied the two ends of the scabbard to the two of them, feeling the slight feeling of falling on her body, Cao Zhijin knew that Phi Xing was not far from her, and was a little relieved.

At the moment, they can't go up to the ground, they can't go down to the ground, they are in a dark, they feel that their bodies are fluttering, and they don't know when they will land.

It's a feeling of despair, oppressive!

Phi Xing had been falling according to the rhythm of Cao Zhijin's slide, and suddenly he felt the rope on his waist pull slightly, and he knew that she was not moving!

"Are you alright?"

"I ......" Cao Zhijin swallowed his saliva, and it took a long time to find his voice, "I seem to be afraid of the black ......"

Especially this kind of thick black that can't tell the difference between the sky and the earth!

She didn't know that she still had this problem, but now she felt that her hands were slowly stiffening, and she was gradually losing her strength!

Before Phi Xing could rush over, her body slid down a distance!

"Ah——!h

"Are you alright?" Phi Xing's anxious voice echoed among the four walls, and no one answered him.

He only saw the Night Pearl suddenly shine not far below, and then fell straight into the darkness underground......

There was a cold sweat in his palms, if she died......

Cao Zhijin seemed to be held up by something, and he was terrified!

When she fell down just now, the night pearl fell out of her sleeve, and the brief light allowed her to see the surrounding situation clearly, it was like a person who was about to suffocate suddenly took a breath of fresh air, and she felt that the strength of her hands and feet had recovered!

She was held up by the roots of a century-old tree!

"How are you?"

The shouts of the stars brought her back to her senses.

"I ...... I feel like I'm stuck in the roots! Cao Zhijin shouted with some embarrassment.

Phi Xing jumped down along the evergreen vine, feeling her safe and sound breath, and couldn't laugh anymore, but still sneered bitterly: "I thought you were not afraid of anything, you were very bold, but I didn't expect to be afraid of the dark!" Looks like I'm overestimating you! ”

"I didn't expect it either!" Cao Zhijin sighed, "But this doesn't prevent me from looking for medicine!" ”

Listening to her calm tone, Phi Xing only felt that she was becoming more and more desirable! - She's quite accepting her shortcomings!

The light that flashed just now seemed to give Cao Zhijin a reassurance, and at this moment Cao Zhijin returned to his usual appearance.

They descended to the intertwined roots of the old trees, which were full of roots that stretched from the old trees, thick enough to hold their weight steadily.

In this way, they don't have to rely entirely on the strength of their arms to grab the rattan and slide down, which saves them a lot of effort!

Unexpectedly, one of the roots of the tree extended to the bottom of the valley, and the two finally fell to the ground.

One picks up the fallen pearl of the night, and the other picks up the sword stuck diagonally on the ground.

Cao Zhijin lifted the night pearl and shone it in the sky, only to see that the roots of the trees above were like spider webs covering the sky above the empty valley tightly, and it made people feel shocked when they looked at it!

The most shocking thing is that there are a lot of white bones hanging on the roots of those intertwined old trees!

No wonder she had just smelled a dull smell of decay!

"Secluded valley, foggy, no road, raise your eyes to see the way of life......"

Cao Zhijin remembered the old man's guiding words, and finally understood why he raised his eyes to look at the way of life!

Most of these people fell from above and fell to their deaths!
