Chapter 13: The Great Tower
I don't know why, if you shout loudly in this tower, the sound will be immediately broken up and turn into a buzzing echo. Although I saw the girl and Xiao Rong, I couldn't communicate with them at the moment, so I didn't know what their situation was. However, to be able to meet them smoothly in this deserted and dangerous place, I am already very comforted, as if I have the confidence to deal with whatever happens next.
I turned around and hurriedly asked Dadong what this place was.
Dadong looked around, thoughtful, and said slowly after a moment, "...... It's strange that it stands to reason that we fell for the trap, obviously by mistake, but in the end we actually moved here. ”
"What do you mean?"
Dadong explained, in fact, our trip, the destination is this tower, originally if you successfully pass through the mechanism of the main hall, after going out, you will pass through an inner hall and a stone corridor, and then you will come here. But we took a fork in the road, and we didn't expect it to be faster than the original road.
"Isn't that a good thing?" I spread my hands and asked, "What about when we come here?" What to do? ”
Dadong pointed above us and said, "Now, do you see that hole?" ”
I didn't respond, and my heart said, "Damn!" There are so many holes, the hell knows which one you're talking about.
"There's a hole in there, and there's a raised stone at the entrance, and a black hat hangs from it."
I was dizzy to see the holes, and I pinched the bridge of my nose, "Black hat, and then what?" ”
"I went up and hung the hat in the first place. Find the hat and go into the cave to see the road to the millet garden. ”
Hearing this, I was immediately stunned, and I widened my eyes and asked Dadong if it was really fake?
Dadong nodded, saying that it must be true, but it was just ......
"Just what?" I hurriedly asked.
Dadong began to sell Guanzi, and said that I would know when the time came.
I stood by the ladder and looked up. I saw a deep hole on the cliff such as the size of the door, illuminated by a flashlight, it was pitch black inside, although the tower set up a lot of ladders and plank road connections, but each layer of the tower is not connected, each is independent.
In other words, it is impossible to reach the second floor if you are on the first floor - unless there is a passage or staircase inside the holes, but there is no time to examine the insides of the holes one by one. Dadong said that the easiest way to go up is to grab these straw ropes and climb up.
I went crazy when I heard it, and I said, "You're playing with me!" The last time I climbed with just one rope, I didn't even have a harness to kill me, and now you let me hold on to the rope and go up? Are you doing acrobatics when I do? You might as well kill me!
Moreover, I don't know how many years this rope has been, is it reliable? In case I pull it and it breaks...... As I spoke, I used a flashlight to shine at the bottom of the tower, and I saw that it was pitch black, bottomless, as if leading to the center of the earth. I said, if you accidentally fall, there is absolutely no place to die, I can't do this!
"Look at your bear!" Dadong scolded disdainfully, "I knew you couldn't do it!" You wait here, we go up first, and then we throw the rope down, you tie the rope around your waist, and we drag you up, so it's all right, right? ”
When I heard this, I was overjoyed, and nodded my head like a rice chicken in agreement, "This can be this and this can be, I didn't expect you to be so selfless and self-sacrificing, you are really a good example for our youth!" ”
Dadong ignored me, only to see him thrust the Miao knife into the waistband of his trousers, took a few steps back, suddenly ran up, stepped on the handrail of the ladder, jumped up, pounced with both hands, and firmly grasped the straw rope that fell from the stairs above. The straw rope shook, and the countless wind chimes on the straw rope made a series of sounds, but the sound only came out, but it dispersed, and for a time the buzzing sound resounded throughout the tower, as if thousands of people were talking to each other.
I covered my ears. Although the sound was not deafening, I don't know why, it sounded very uncomfortable, and I just felt that my heart was suffocating and panicking, as if something was about to pop out of my mouth, which made people sick.
I looked at Dadong, and saw that he was vigorous, holding the rope and using his hands and feet together, and climbed to the upper layer of the ladder in three or two clicks, and then repeated the action just now, climbed on another straw rope, and climbed towards the ladder where the girl and Xiaorong were.
After Dadong went up smoothly, one of the Xuanyuan people also did the same and climbed up safely, and after that, only me and another Xuanyuan person were left on the ladder.
At this time, I saw a climbing rope thrown down from it and landed right in front of me. I thought to myself that it was finally my turn, so I tied the rope around my waist and tied a dead knot at the end of the rope to prevent it from slipping off and sliding directly out of the end of the rope.
I tugged at the rope and yelled, and even though I couldn't hear what I was shouting, the sound could still be heard. At this moment, I felt the rope around my waist begin to exert force, pulling me up a little bit. I was embarrassed to let others help me the whole time, so I also followed the example of Dadong, standing on the handrail of the ladder, ready to pounce on the rope.
The armrest was only seven or eight centimeters wide, and it was difficult to maintain balance when I stood on it, and I had to do everything I could to stabilize my body. At this time, I couldn't help but look down...... This look, I almost fainted, under the faint light, I saw the bottom of the huge tower like a deep hole, black, through a yin qi, countless grass ropes hanging down, I don't know how deep, this feeling is like standing on a skyscraper, a yin wind blowing, I am trembling all over.
I tried to keep my composure, thinking that I could not admit it at the critical moment, so I held my breath and threw myself as hard as I could at the rope, holding on to it with both hands, and my body came to a halt.
The wind chimes buzzed, and the force of the drag on my waist came again, and I began to climb up with the help of my strength.
I climbed about fifteen or sixteen meters, touched the first ladder, and climbed up with all my might, and I was panting wildly with my hands on the ground. But before I could rest for a while, the drag on my waist came again, and I thought to myself, are these people planning to exhaust me? But I couldn't help it now, so I stepped on the handrail again, pounced on the second rope, gritted my teeth and climbed up.
The grandsons of these cheating fathers! He said that he would drag me, but seeing that I had the strength to climb up, I refused to pull hard, and the rope around my waist only served as a safety belt.
At this moment, my arms were extremely sore, and the rough rope pierced my palms with burning pain. I gasped and insisted on climbing up more than a meter - at this time, I found that I could slowly distinguish the sound of Dadong and the girl talking not far away, but I still couldn't hear what was said, only vaguely heard Dadong shouting, but I didn't hear the content of the shouting.
I grabbed the straw rope and dragged my body up as much as possible, and after going up a few dozen centimeters, I suddenly understood, and only heard Dadong shouting - "Watch behind you"!
I was taken aback, and when I turned around, I saw a black shadow suddenly rushing towards me, and its sharp claws scratched my face fiercely!
