Chapter 52: The Blind Man

I made up my mind to go to the abyss, and under the leadership of Lao Wang, the four of them walked along the bank of the underground river towards the front. During the walk, I kept looking back, the didn't follow for the time being, he knew what to do, even if he could use the rope and tiger claws I left behind to climb over the gap and return to the riverbank, he wouldn't follow so closely.

"I've been recalling a question right now." Zhang Momo pulled my sleeve and said, "How the hell did we end up in that abyss?" Do you have any impressions? ”

"I'm not impressed." I shook my head, I can't say that the three of them came back to life, not only is it too troublesome to explain, but more importantly, they have forgotten this terrible experience, and if I deliberately guide them, I don't know if there will be serious consequences.

Since everything happens, there is a reason for it to happen. There must be a reason why they lost this memory, and I don't dare to assert it until I find out the truth of the matter.

"That's weird, I just remember that we were in the desert on the outskirts of the fault zone, and I really don't remember when we fell into the abyss." Zhang Momo thought about it for a long time, she was more meticulous and better at thinking than Lao Wang and Ning Kitten, Lao Wang and Ning Kitten came to life, they might not think much about anything, they would only feel strange, but Zhang Momo had the spirit of digging into the roots.

"I don't remember anything, don't you remember at all? Below the abyss, see nothing? ”

"If I remembered, I wouldn't have asked you that." Zhang Momo shook his head: "When we woke up, we were under the abyss, and there were two ropes in front of us that we could climb up. ”

"I'll go back later, I want to go down the abyss."

"One more thing, you can't not react at all, right?"

"What's the matter?"

"Old man Liu."

The last time I came to Danmeng, I saw Old Man Liu in the depths of the rift, at that time, Zhang Momo was already "dead", Old Man Liu appeared next to her corpse, Zhang Momo couldn't remember. But this time, Lu Fangding, who was incarnated as Old Man Liu, was extremely powerful, and beat away the who attacked him with his bare hands. Not only did I see him, but they also saw him.

This is incomprehensible in Lao Wang's thinking. Because Old Man Liu has always appeared as a character in a nightmare, when a character who only exists in a dream stands alive in front of him, the kind of shock that people who have not experienced it can't imagine.

"yes, I think it's incredible." I could only smile wryly: "How could he show up?" ”

I thought to myself, Lu Fangding's subordinates and fought for both sides, and he himself was injured, he should retreat, and he may return to Huayang. Anyway, if you know the hidden identity of Old Man Liu, the situation is clear, Lu Fangding is as famous as Huayang, there are many people who know him, if you return to Huayang, you can find a way to find him through various channels.

The four of them walked as they talked, and there were indeed a few places on the way that were difficult to walk together, and they needed to cooperate with each other to pass. When Lao Wang and the others came from there, the situation was unknown, and they didn't dare to go too fast, so they stopped and went, wasting a lot of time, and when they went back, it was much more convenient, so the trip was significantly faster.

In the end, we returned to the rift where and I fell down, the rift couldn't be climbed directly, and Lao Wang left a rope when they came down.

"It's a little too presumptuous." I said to Lao Wang, "If there are still people up there and cut this rope, we won't even have a way back." ”

"So what do you say?" Lao Wang found a gun from the relics of Lu Fangding's team, and kept it in his hand, he listened to my words and rolled his eyes: "Your life and death are unknown, we were in a hurry to find you, where can we take care of so much?" Dude, they're all such big people, please be more stable in the future, don't mess around when your brain is hot. ”

"You're right, you're right." I know that Lao Wang and they were eager to save people at that time, and they couldn't think so thoroughly, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, the three of them were still very concerned about me.

We climbed up from below in turn for a short break. Lu Fangding's people and left a lot of things, scattered around, and when we make full use of them, we can stay here for a long time. After resting for a while, I went to the edge of the abyss to take a look.

But as soon as I got close to the edge of the abyss, I felt that something was wrong, and the two ropes that were fixed to the top of the abyss were missing. I hurried to them and hurried back to the place where the pulley was mounted, the simple pulley still on it, but the rope from the winch was gone.

This means that someone must have cut all the ropes that could be used at the edge of the abyss while the old king and the others came down to look for me.

This person can cut the rope on this side of the abyss, and he can also cut the rope that Lao Wang and they fell under the rift, but the other party did not do it. I'm not entirely sure who cut the rope yet. But the other party's intentions are actually very clear, he doesn't want our lives, trapping us to death, he just blocks the way into the abyss.

But the more this happened, the more I became more and more curious and interested in this abyss.

We searched around, and there should be no one here. I took them back to the place where attacked Lu Fangding. Lao Wang said that there were obvious man-made carved indentations on the abyssal stone wall of that place, and with the help of ropes and these indentations, it was more convenient than other places to climb down or up.

The man who cut the rope also took all the ropes left at the scene, and now only the coil of rope that Lao Wang had brought on him could be used. I fastened the rope to the edge and made some preparations.

The place where first appeared was a very important position in this terrain, and in this position, almost all the roads leading to here could be observed. Lao Wang took the gun and stayed in this position, and Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten assisted.

"If there's something, you squeak." Lao Wang shook the gun in his hand: "I have a gun, I will save you." ”

"All you have to do is stay here." I think it's safer under the abyss than here, and the danger of this place actually comes from an unknown enemy.

I grabbed the rope and climbed down slowly, just as Lao Wang said, the stone wall under the abyss was only seventy or eighty degrees inclined, and there were many man-made dents on the stone wall, and these dents were obviously convenient for going up and down. I stepped on the indentations one by one, and kept climbing down, and when I climbed down for more than 30 meters, a naturally formed cave appeared on the stone wall.

The caves are big and small, deep and shallow, and my flashlight is fixed on my shoulder, and I can shine on these caves with a slight twist. The cave was empty, nothing of note, I bowed my head down, according to my previous estimate of depth, I had only climbed a small distance now, at least forty meters or so, to reach the bottom of the abyss. I'm a little weak, I don't know if this rope is long enough, if I climb to the bottom, but the rope is not enough, it will be embarrassing.

Swish!!!

Just when I was worried about whether the rope was enough, a shadow suddenly appeared in a black hole in front of me. The shadow came to me like a streamer in the flickering light. I was completely defenseless, and I didn't have time to fight back, and my neck was choked.

My neck was so stuck that I couldn't even breathe, and I was dragged to the cave. All this happened so quickly, and it was beyond my expectations, because Lao Wang said that when climbing the rock wall, it was very calm and there were no accidents, so I subconsciously felt that there was no danger under the abyss.

As soon as I was dragged into the cave, I started to fight back. The knife seized from the was in my waist, and I grabbed the other party's arm that was stuck in my neck with one hand, and pulled out the knife with the other hand and stabbed it forward hard.

The man was so strong that he shrank backwards, dodging the knife, and the hand around my neck was released. I had just caught my breath and before I could open my throat and shout, the other man held my knife hand directly and grabbed me by the collar at the same time.

As soon as I grabbed the collar, I felt as if I had been caught in a pair of iron tongs, and I couldn't break free. This man's strength is too great, and it is beyond imagination. I was still struggling, but the more I struggled, the tighter the other person clutched.

Boom......

At this time, I heard a soft sound in my neck, and thought that the bone was broken by the other party, but I didn't feel the pain of the broken bone, and I was slightly distracted, this person grabbed me by the collar and pushed me directly to the stone wall behind me. I had no way out, or even a room to resist.

My body writhed back and forth, and the beam of light of the flashlight fixed to my shoulder swayed back and forth. Between the swaying of the light, it shone on the man's face.

When I saw his face, I couldn't help but shudder.

It was a man, but I couldn't tell how old he was. His face was white, the white of a dead man, without a trace of blood. This sickly whiteness should be caused by not seeing sunlight for a long time.

The light of the flashlight shone directly on his face, and the distance between the two people was so close that the strong light would sting him and he couldn't open his eyes. But this man did not react to the bright light at all, and I saw that his eyes were cloudy, and I couldn't even distinguish the eyeballs and whites of the eyes, like an egg with egg whites and yolks mixed together, a mess.

At this moment, I realized that this man was blind. Only the blind will not be afraid of the bright light.

I felt a chill in my heart, for I could almost conclude that this man was not blind in the first place, that his eyesight was intact, but that it was only after spending too long in this dark abyss that his eyesight gradually deteriorated and then disappeared. Like all creatures living underground or in the abyss, sight is the most useless function, completely replaced by hearing and touch.

How long does a person have to stay in such a place before he becomes blind?
