256.The Line Between Life and Death (2)
After Gu Xi walked to the nearest and pressed the stone plate of the Qin character, the long stone slab had extended for nearly thirty meters, but it stopped there. We looked at each other, even if it stretched so long, but there was still a distance of about 20 meters from the round platform, how could we get past without a platform to step on? Unless it's a light effort.
Gu Xi only hesitated for two seconds before he made a decision: "Go over first and then see." As soon as the words fell, he was the first to take a step, and I subconsciously wanted to pull him, but I was empty, because he jumped straight down.
My heart skipped a beat, and I was secretly relieved to see that he was only a meter shorter, with his feet standing on the stone slab.
Gu Xi rarely looked up at me from this angle, "Will you stay here or go with me?" Without thinking about it, I said, "With you." He raised his eyebrows: "Not afraid? ”
Glancing at the dark depths, he shook his head.
Gu Xi stretched out his hand to me, lowered his eyes, bent the corners of his mouth, put his hand between his palms, and stood on the stone slab with a slight leap. However, the width of the slate was only thirty centimeters, and I could no longer hold my hand, so he told me to follow closely and then let go of my hand to take the lead.
I wasn't afraid of heights, but my heart was still trembling as I walked on the stone slabs that resembled a single-plank bridge, for the bottomless black paint underneath was like the open mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour us at any moment, and the wind was blowing.
A question comes to mind: this slate looks solid, but I wonder if it will not be able to bear the weight as the two of us go further to the head? Because I have observed that the thickness of the slate is only three centimeters, it is very thin, and when you walk on it, you will feel that the slate is shaking. It turned out that I wasn't too worried, because just as the two of them were slowly walking to two-thirds of the way, we heard an amazing "click" coming from behind me, and Gu Xi and I both turned our heads in shock.
The sound was so clear and startling, it was clearly cracking, and the stone slab under his feet seemed to be more unstable than before.
Gu Xi immediately decided: "You go back." "It wasn't the time to be willful, I immediately turned around and left, but when I walked back a third of the way, something that shouldn't have happened happened.
There was a click, and it was not that the slate was really broken, but that it came unexpectedly. As soon as my feet sank, my body was in weightlessness, I had expected many situations but never thought that it would end like this, I looked back at Gu Xi in shock, he was standing only ten meters away from me, but it was a gap that could not be crossed.
I didn't even have time to judge the look in his eyes, and he fell uncontrollably from weightlessness.
However, the fatal blow that I thought would sink to the bottom due to the fracture of this stone slab did not come, because it stopped after falling two meters! And I was lying on the slate in embarrassment, and I didn't roll off the slab so I clung to it.
raised his head and saw the figure on the other side, but he was also so frightened that he screamed: "Gu Xi! ”
The slate slanted down about sixty degrees to that side, and he slipped uncontrollably to the edge of the slate, where he half-crouched down and firmly broke the slate with both hands to stop the slide. But the slate was still tilting, and I was about to hold the slab and slide down, but I was horrified to see Gu Xi suddenly let go of his hand, and then ran towards me at a rapid pace.
In the middle, I thought about letting go, so I could speed up being with him, but after hesitating for a moment, I was shocked to find that the slate under me was ...... Fall. Yes, back in the opposite direction.
Looking at the gradually leveling slate, I was surprised and didn't know how to react, I could only stupidly watch Gu Xi approach me, but when he was about to get closer, he suddenly retreated backwards. I was stunned for a second before I realized that the slate was actually tilted in the opposite direction, but it quickly returned to the right position, and then I had an epiphany, this slate is like a seesaw, and the two ends need to be balanced, and Gu Xi is looking for the fulcrum of balance.
He was able to judge all of this in such a short period of time, and I have no words to express it.
When I finally balanced and the slate was only shaking slightly, I couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?" Gu Xi said: "Don't get up after you hold it steady, try to look to the side to see what is supporting under my feet close to my position." ”
I followed his way, and my little probe swept my gaze outward, but my face turned pale. There was a pointed stone pillar supporting the plank at the bottom, and the spire seemed to be embedded in the slab. If it weren't for the stagnation force of the slate that pierced it, it would have been set, and the slab itself would have broken due to the load-bearing, as if it were ...... I stepped on the coffin hanging from the old tree, and the weight of one person made the branches have an unbearable gravity, and adding another Fuso sacred tree immediately caused a chain effect, and the branches broke layer by layer.
There is no doubt that every design of the cave owner is recreating what we have experienced before.
At this time, the stone slab that was inserted in the slot of the stone wall broke into the largest and most dangerous seesaw, fortunately I chose to come down with Gu Xi just now, otherwise he alone would not be able to keep this stone slab balanced on both sides. But even so, it is difficult to find this balance because of the difference in weight between the two.
Gu Xi needs to be very close to the middle support point so that he doesn't me from the other end, he listened to what I said, thoughtful, I don't dare to disturb him, but the current situation still has to find a way to solve it.
I looked back and saw that the slate was fractured flush with the slot, which meant that if I wanted to return, I would have to go to the very edge of the slab and climb three meters to a height. But what happens if one person breaks away from the slate in the process?
Suddenly, I had a bold idea: the round platform crossbow arrows in front of me can't shoot, then the place we just came down can be determined to be a stone wall, Gu Xi shot the crossbow arrows to that mouth first, and then I ran back while he seized the opportunity to hang his body by the line of the end of the arrow, and then came to pull him back after I climbed up.
Gu Xi frowned when he heard my proposal, and quickly gave a veto: "No, there is no shore to turn back, we will move forward." ”
Forward? I looked at him dumbfounded, though he did think it was true when he reminded me. The hints given by the cave master when laying down this layer of formations and mechanisms have always been that there is no turning back, and the result of each turn back is very bad, even if we come to this point at this moment, it is to experience more dangers.
But Gu Xi said to move forward, not to mention the harsh environment in which we are at the moment where we are unable to stand steadily, is there still a road ahead?
I also wanted to go to the front to find out, where did I think this would happen.
I was hesitating when I heard Gu Xi say, "When I slid to the bottom just now, I quickly glanced into the depths, and I could vaguely see that there was something hidden in the dark. You weigh less than me, you can't support me to the end, wait for you and me to switch places, and I'll control the balance You move forward, understand? ”
I can understand him when he says it so plainly, but he says ...... I swallowed my spit, swapping places? Doubting his ears, he stared at him in disbelief. But before I could digest it, he was walking slowly towards me, and his heart was still uneasy as he saw the slate leaning towards me and crawling instinctively towards him.
The distance between me and him was less than ten meters, but because the stone slab was shaking, every second made me feel like a great enemy, and when the two of them actually met, I was drenched in cold sweat. Looking up at him, I saw him hook his lips and smile, stretched out his hand and patted me on the head twice, and said in a seductive tone: "You did a good job, wait until I count to three, and I will jump over your head, you just need to crawl forward with one mind, as fast as you can." ”
The brain crashed: "What did you say? "Did I hear me wrong? He said jump over my head?
His hand caressed my face, his eyes were clear and soft: "Do you believe me? Instinctively and intuitively, he nodded and replied, "Letter!" But ......" I was cut off by him before I could finish my words: "Just believe it, you are ready, and I don't have to worry about controlling the rest." 1.2......"
My heart tightened, I had no time to argue or think anymore, and I stared nervously ahead.
"Three!" As he shook the figure in front of me, I began to crawl forward, using my hands and feet together, until I felt a vibration behind me, and then I relaxed slightly, and then picked up my speed. There was a tremor in the middle, but it was not in my range, I only went forward head-on, and then even straightened my knees and walked quickly.
When I saw the end of the line, I fell to the ground, clinging to the slate with both hands.
There was a brief downward movement of my body, and my breathing stopped at that moment, but fortunately the rear was about to lift me up. When I finally calmed down, I felt that my heart was about to jump out, and I felt cold sweat on my forehead just by flashing the scene just now in my mind. Slowly turning his head, I saw Gu Xi standing less than twenty meters away from me in a half-squatting position, he was not as embarrassed as I was, and it seemed that he had not changed color due to all the thrills just now, but his eyes flashed with excitement and evil light, like two burning flames.
Wait, flames?! I blinked and looked closely, only to find that his eyes were dark and dark, and I must have mistaken what I had just seen.
"Look ahead." I came to my senses after Gu Xi reminded me in a deep voice, and I also remembered what he said before, and turned my head to stare at it.
Before, he was in front of me and behind, and the light of the jade was not enough to make the front shine brightly, and the consequences of swapping positions at this time were really strange. First of all, it may be because of the deep water below, so that there is water vapor surrounding the sky, thus blocking the penetration of light, and it is no wonder that I couldn't see this situation clearly when I stood at the entrance before, and I could only follow the rare outline.
One meter in front of me, there was a round stone platform with a diameter of about one meter, supported by a stone pillar at the bottom, and about two meters ahead, there was an identical round stone platform, and further on......
