"Untie the short ropes that others have tied to you!" After the ten-meter-long rope was changed, the old clam commanded: "We must try to reduce our falling force as much as possible, so everyone go down ten meters, tighten the rope, and smash the mountaineering pickaxe into the cliff, after everyone is ready, start with the person at the highest point and jump down in turn, until the sixth person, understand?" ”

I quickly simulated the scenario in my head, and in doing so, we were able to reduce the altitude by about fifty meters, which is quite important for this kind of high-altitude adventure.

"Still in order!" The seventh master said, the old clam first, the second cloth bag monk began to climb down quickly, we also climbed down, and when the cloth bag monk climbed ten meters perpendicular to the old clam, the toad also began to climb down......

After about twenty minutes, each of us was at our place. Those red-eyed black bats had also slowly regained their strength at this time, and some had already begun a second round of tentative attacks.

"Hey, Seventh Master, old clam!" I looked at the pickaxe that I smashed into the cliff in my hand and asked in a trembling voice, "What if it weren't for the river down there?!" Isn't this looking for death?! Do you want to do it another way?! ”

"There's no time!" The Seventh Master shouted: "It's dark, these red-eyed black bats are in a hungry time at this time, if we go down a little bit like just now, sooner or later we will either fall to death or be bitten to death by them!" ”

The seventh master said and looked at the old clam above his head: "Old clam, shout three numbers, jump down!" ”

My little heart was in my throat, and I looked like I was about to jump out, and I looked up tremblingly and looked at the black figures above my head.

"One! Two! Three! ”

The old clam shouted three counts, and then jumped and jumped straight from above!

The second is the cloth bag monk, when the old clam's rope fell to ten meters and tightened, the cloth bag monk's body shook, the old clam stagnated out of thin air, "snap", the bag monk's hand of the mountaineering pickaxe popped out of the cliff, and he also fell.

"Mom-" I was trembling all over, if I hadn't thought that Liang Ruoyi was below me, I would probably have peed directly!

The third is a toad, in the same situation, the three of them stuck out of thin air, unloaded a little force, and fell from above!

Before I could react, I saw three people in a string passing by me, and then I felt the rope around my waist tighten, almost stopping me from waist and slashing, a strong pulling force made my eyes shake in an instant, and the mountaineering pickaxe in my hand bounced up with a "snap", and I fell down with my head up!

"Ahh

This is the first time I've felt like my lung capacity is that big since I've lived so big!

The red-eyed black bats were still hovering around us, but after we fell down in an instant, they seemed to not understand what we meant, and could not find our direction, so they turned around twice in the air and flew towards the top of the cliff valley.

"I'm going to die—"

I changed my breath in the dark mid-air and continued to shout.

In this process, I felt that my body stopped twice out of thin air, and it should be Liang Ruoyi and Qiye who helped us unload our strength. After I almost got used to the weightless feeling of falling, I slammed into the water with a "poof"!

It's the happiest voice I've ever heard! As if I had arrived in heaven, I quickly emerged from the water and laughed: "Oh, I'm not dead!" I'm not dead! ”

"Get out!" Liang Ruoyi came out from behind me and slapped me on the back of the head: "If it weren't for that terrible sneeze of yours, would we have taken such a big risk?!" ”

"Hey," I laughed, "If it weren't for my sneezing, you'd still be on the cliff!" ”

I was arguing with Liang Ruoyi when a few flashlights lit up. I hurriedly looked in all directions, and saw that we were in a river about two feet wide, the current was slow, and the river was quiet.

"Ashore!" The Seventh Master shouted.

We hurriedly turned around and swam to the shore, where we were soaked and sneezed several times after coming ashore. The old clam on the side made a bonfire as quickly as possible, and everyone hurriedly took off the clothes outside to bake, while Liang Ruoyi set up the tent last night, changed into clean clothes inside, and then took the wet clothes out to dry.

Everyone gathered some food, and the old clam took out a box of live clams he was carrying with him and roasted them, and distributed them to everyone to eat to increase his energy. And the Budai monk boiled a pot of vegetable porridge by himself and drank it with relish.

"Seventh Master, we still have no way!" I ate a loaf of bread, took a bowl of porridge from the old monk, and while drinking, I looked at the cliff with no top in sight and said, "What should we do next?" ”

"Walk along the river." The Seventh Master smiled.

"Walking along the river? Why? I was puzzled and asked, "If you go along the river and go downstream, won't you go out of the mountains?" ”

"Not necessarily." The old clam interjected: "We are now at an altitude of several thousand meters, why is this river flowing so slowly?" Something is obviously wrong! ”

I was stunned: "You mean, this river is an inland river?" Could it lead to a certain place? ”

"That's right." The Seventh Master nodded and ate the bread in his hand: "I wasn't sure that there would be an inland river down here, but you told me that the mountain told you that there was a flash flood in the valley recently, blocking the way to the valley, and I was thinking that this place is not too far from the ski resort, and if there is a flash flood here, it will definitely be affected over there." However, when we came, we didn't notice any impact on the ski resort, so I guessed that there was a small river in the area, but it was able to merge those waters into its own river during flash floods. ”

I answered, if it is according to what the seventh master said, there is some truth. So where will the river go?

"Let's rest early after eating, and we'll set off tomorrow at dawn!" The seventh master seemed to be a little tired, and after speaking, he entered the tent and lay down in the corner to sleep.

In fact, this afternoon's incident is a kind of psychological torture for anyone, including their masters. They don't have the kung fu that they did in movies and television, and on the cliff, in addition to being better than ordinary people's physical strength and dexterity, they don't have any other advantages, and they are afraid, but they just don't say it.

I had dinner, washed my face by the river, and looked up at the sky above me. The weather was nice and you could see a few shining stars.

After sitting by the river for a while, feeling a little cold, I hurriedly put on my dried clothes and went into the tent to sleep......

Early the next morning, I was kicked by Liang Ruoyi to wake up, opened my eyes, and saw that it was already dawn outside, so I hurriedly got up and stretched, made a face at Liang Ruoyi, ran to the river to wash my face, returned to the tent, and watched the old clam eat breakfast while cleaning up.

The Seventh Master stood by the river with a bag of milk, observing the direction of the river.

I was a little bored, so I also walked over: "Seventh Master, what did you find?" ”

"I guessed right." The seventh master pointed to the river and said: "When we came in yesterday, the flow rate of the water was very slow, and now it seems to be even slower, it should be that the amount of water at the source of the upstream is rapidly decreasing. We were lucky, if it hadn't been for the flash flood upstream, maybe things would have been more troublesome. ”

"Seventh Master, shall we take the water route or the land route?" The old clam finished tidying up the tent and walked over and asked.

"Let's go by land first!" The seventh master said: "Walk along the riverbank, and if there is no road, then take the waterway." ”

The old clam answered, turned around to clean up things, I finished eating the bread, squatted on the ground, put my hand into the river to wash my hands, this hand just reached in, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Seventh master, it's not right, the speed of this water flow seems to be speeding up!" ”

The seventh master was stunned, hurriedly squatted down, and also put his hand into the river, and his brows immediately furrowed: "Really, could it be that something happened upstream?!" ”

At this time, my hand could clearly feel that the speed of the water was slowly accelerating, and after a while, it felt very fast, not at all as calm as the river appeared.

The Seventh Master and I looked in the direction of the upstream together, frowning......
