By six o'clock in the afternoon, the sunlight had completely disappeared into the cliffs and valleys, and it was so dark that I couldn't even make out Liang Ruoyi's faces.

More than three hours passed, we climbed down about 300 meters, at this time I was already physically exhausted, lying in a relatively stable place, gasping for breath, my eyes were blurry, and some tears were blown by the wind.

"I just can't do it!" I looked at the seventh master and said, "I've reached the limit, if I climb down again, I guess something will happen......"

The Seventh Master nodded and asked the old clam, "Old clam, is there a river or something down here?" ”

"I don't know...... the old clam frowned: "I could only roughly detect the depth before, and it's hard to say what is below." ”

I suddenly remembered what the mountain had said to me before, and hurriedly said: "Hey, I remember that the mountain town told me that there was a flash flood in the valley, and they couldn't go down the mountain, and the stored food was almost gone, so I asked for something, so it seems that there should be a river below!" ”

The Seventh Master groaned and nodded: "Well, if you say so, it's very possible, but let's come down so deep, we didn't hear the sound of running water, even if it is a river, the flow is not large, and it is estimated that the water will not be too deep, if you jump from this height, you will die." ”

"Hey!" As soon as I heard this, I immediately became anxious: "You want me to jump directly?!" You said you would help me, even if there is the sea below, if I jump from a height of a few hundred meters, it will be a death! I don't care, if you don't help me, I'll pull you down with me! ”

"Ha, who said it doesn't matter to you!" The old clam was happy: "Besides, if we really want to ignore you, do you think you can pull us down?" It's all locks, let's untie the ropes, and you'll be separated from us! ”

"You?!" I was speechless for a moment, staring at the old clam.

"Okay, okay, let's slow down a little, anyway, we won't be able to make it before dark, safety first." Liang Ruoyi said and began to climb down again.

I let out a long sigh, my hands were already trembling slightly, trembling uncontrollably, every time I grabbed a stone it was instinctive, my wrist was numb and painful, and I didn't even have the strength to grit my teeth!

After ten minutes like this, I really used up the last bit of strength and my head started to get groggy. I hurriedly stopped and crouched on the cliff face to regain my strength. And my two calves were shaking involuntarily, and I was in danger of falling at any moment.

"Stop!" When the seventh master saw my appearance, he hurriedly beckoned everyone to stop.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of "whirring" in the cliff valley, I thought it was the sound of running water, but when I listened to the past, it was not like it, and it was like the sound of the wind.

I grasped the cliff and slowly looked down: the black hole in the bottomless cliff valley, and the sound of "whirring" from it sounded like the wheezing sound of a monster at this time.

After a few seconds, the sound grew louder and louder, and began to speed past us like a train. I looked at the other people, except for the Seventh Master and the Budai monk, the other three were all flushed at this time, panting slightly, and it seemed that their physical strength was extremely exhausted.

I don't know what this voice is below, in case it ......

Before I could finish thinking about it, I saw a huge black thing rush out of the cliff valley, and in the blink of an eye it was less than five feet away from us, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be bats the size of a palm, each one black and bright, and soon, I could clearly see the pair of blood-red eyes!

"Red-eyed black bat?!" Liang Ruoyi screamed, and then shouted: "Everyone hold your breath and don't move!" This thing is blind, if it doesn't move, it will fly away soon! ”

As soon as the shadow fell, the large mass of red-eyed black bats had already flown over, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to come out, and I clung to the cliff wall, motionless.

These bats, at least hundreds, probably live in the valley and are now out at night to forage for food.

They seemed to hear Liang Ruoyi's voice just now, and circled around us. At this time, I could only see black bats hovering behind me, like a black wall! Soon, several bats landed on top of me and flew away again, so frightened that my face changed.

After a dozen seconds, the bats seemed to feel that we were not interested and began to fly upward.

But at this moment, a bat actually landed on my shoulder, and my head was right here, right in front of my eyes! I was so frightened that I immediately closed my eyes. The bat didn't seem to notice anything, and flapped its wings to leave.

It was this fluttering of wings, I don't know what got into my nostrils, and I suddenly itched unbearably: "Ahhhhhh ”

After this sneeze, the whole world fell silent for a second, and then the bats that had been flying up flew towards me like crazy, and in an instant they wrapped me into rice dumplings!

"Ahh Help me—" I yelled, and it was pitch black in front of me, and the sound of bats flying around in my ears was all over me! And a bat found my bare skin and bit it down!

"Ahh Gu Rui, jump down! ”

I can't care so much, hearing Liang Ruoyi let me jump, I didn't hesitate to let go of my hands, and the mountaineering pickaxe in my hand waved like crazy. The body instantly lost its center of gravity and fell downward.

With my wave, the blind cat touched the dead mouse and instantly killed several red-eyed black bats, and many bats immediately turned around and flew towards her after hearing Liang Ruoyi's call!

A second later, the rope around my waist tightened and hung in mid-air, and the rope at the other end was tied to the waist of Liang Ruoyi and the toad. Liang Ruoyi was also a little too busy to take care of himself at this time, and the seventh master hurriedly shouted when he saw this, and dozens of bats flew towards him in an instant.

The whole cliff was in chaos, and the cloth bag monk and the old clam also led a few bats over, but the toad was holding on to my rope tightly, not daring to move.

"Get out of here!" Liang Ruoyi's side couldn't hold it at first, and with a coquettish sound, he also jumped and jumped down.

Since then, Liang Ruoyi and I have both hung in the air, one holding a short blade and the other holding a pickaxe, constantly waving at the bats. And most of the strength of the two of us is dragged on the toad and the seventh master, the toad is better, and the seventh master is at the tail end, which is already a little difficult.

The cloth bag monk waved a single palm, and struck it with one palm, each palm could knock down several bats, and the old clam was at a disadvantage because of some physical exhaustion, and it seemed that he had been bitten a few times!

After about two or three minutes, the six of us actually killed and killed nearly half of the red-eyed black bats, while the rest seemed to be smart, learned their lesson, and no longer rushed over in a hurry, but around us, constantly circling, waiting for our own physical strength to run out......

"What should I do?!" After the black bat stopped attacking, I felt a sense of despair hit me, and I hurriedly found a point of focus, panting and steady, looking at the others diagonally above and shouting.

"Old clam, based on the speed and sound of these black bats flying up just now, can you tell how deep it is from below?" The Seventh Master asked eagerly.

The old clam groaned: "These bats don't necessarily live at the bottom of the valley, but according to the inference that they flew up just now, they should be less than two hundred meters away from where they live!" ”

"Okay, replace the long rope and let's jump!" The seventh master said.

Jump? I was stunned for a moment, and before I could say anything, the old clam on the side instantly understood the meaning, and hurriedly took out a ten-meter-long fiber rope from his backpack, this kind of rope is very thin, like a thin hemp rope, but it is extremely dense, and the bearing capacity is higher than those ropes with the thickness of the wrist.

The old clam tied a rope around his waist, then slid the other end to the cloth bag monk through a short rope that had been tied to his waist, and then gave him a new ten-meter-long rope. And so on, and soon, the ropes around our waists were replaced by ten-meter-long high-density fiber ropes.
