"What's wrong?" I sat on the ground boiling hot porridge, looked up at the pig's head with a bitter face, and asked Liang Ruoyi.

In this environment, hot porridge still plays a great role, not only to help us quickly recover our strength, but also to help us expel moisture in the body.

"We're completely dead now." The pig's head walked across from me, sat down on the rock, and said.

"What's the situation? Miss Leung. The Seventh Master knew that this pig-headed dog couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth, so he directly bypassed him and asked Liang Ruoyi.

"I walked forward with the pig's head just now, and after walking for about ten minutes, we came to the edge of the cliff." "After that, we walked along the edge of the cliff to both sides until we came back. What is certain now is that we are at the top of a cliff, and except for returning the way we came, the remaining three sides are bottomless cliffs. ”

"No......," said the toad, frowning, "We haven't climbed the mountain yet!" How did you get to the cliff? Moreover, not only did we not climb the mountain, but we also took advantage of the underground stream to go down for a while, and came out of the hole in the ground, clearly underground! ”

"Well, I don't think you're both right." The second uncle muttered: "We are indeed underground, but we have come to an underground mountain recess that no one has ever discovered. Miss Liang, show me the map. ”

Liang Ruoyi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reached out and took out the map of the Nanpan Divine Palace that had been extended from the Hanjia from his backpack before, and handed it to the second uncle: "This is relatively complete, it is based on the fragment provided by the Seventh Master, plus the integration of the previous one from the Hanjia, it seems that it is basically a complete map." ”

The second uncle took it, then sat on the ground and spread it out, looking carefully.

The others also hurriedly leaned over to look, while I sat on the side and shrugged: It seems that the second uncle did not lie to us, the Nanpan Divine Palace is really on this cloud mountain, otherwise, he would not have asked for this map. With this map in Liang Ruoyi's hand, plus the one he got in the iron box, there should be no problem in finding a complete and accurate map of Nanpan Shrine.

The rice porridge was cooked, and I looked at the expression of the second uncle while serving the porridge to everyone. At this moment, he frowned, as if he was using the iron box map in his mind to coincide with the map in front of him, almost ten minutes later, the seventh master seemed to see some clues first, looked up at the sky, and asked Liang Ruoyi about the terrain he had explored before, muttered for a while, and said a few words to the second uncle, the second uncle's eyes suddenly lit up, stretched out his finger and clicked on the map: "Then, connect these two sides and erase this line, you can see if it is a bit similar?!" ”

I walked over while drinking porridge, and watched the second uncle draw a few times on the map, not to mention, if the second uncle did this, the map would instantly change its appearance - the black dot marking the location of the Nanpan Shrine was surrounded by a line, and the line that was erased was just like the valley that we took the wrong way when we entered.

In this way, the terrain on the map is very similar to the position we are in now, and the Nanpan Shrine is just under the deep cliff that Liang Ruoyi and the pig's head saw!

"That's right! That's it! The seventh master patted his thigh: "Drink porridge, eat, eat and drink, let's go down the mountain!" ”

Everyone's faces were beaming with joy: this operation had been out for many days, and only now had the basic location of the destination almost determined, so it was a happy event. What's more, we were almost eaten by the black python yesterday, and we were all injured before we found the target, and now we feel that it is worth it.

Liang Ruoyi had always had a trace of worry on her face, and I walked up to her with porridge in one hand and a ham in the other and sat down: "What's the matter, beauty?" What are you worried about? ”

"You say, we've been tossing so much these days, have we really gotten rid of those people?" Liang Ruoyi asked as she took a sip of porridge.

I was stunned: "Of course! If nothing else, let's just say that those two black pythons, even if there are still people who can keep up, it is estimated that they will be eaten by the remaining black pythons! There are so many masters in our group, and half of them were injured before they escaped, and it was even more difficult for those people. ”

"Well, maybe." Liang Ruoyi nodded: "This time, I always feel a little apprehensive and uneasy, and I don't know what will happen." ”

"Ha, you're a flower in the mercenary army! Why are you still timid? I smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will protect you!" ”

The ice beauty knew that I was making her happy, and gave me a white grin: "You? Pull it down! It's okay without you, but it's not good to have you! ”

I laughed, chatted with her about lunch, and after everyone rested, we packed up our things and walked towards the cliff.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and in the light fog, our pace was much lighter than before, the temperature around us was not too high, and a few bird chirpings came from time to time in the woods, which made me feel refreshed.

After about ten minutes, we were in front of the cliff.

After seeing it with his own eyes, he suddenly felt that this cliff was much more terrifying than what Liang Ruoyi and the others described: the cliff was bottomless, and it was all shrouded in a white thick fog, and it was impossible to see the situation below. Looking up, you can see through the faint mist and the sea of clouds, and see several high mountains in the distance, and the top of the mountain is faintly white, and you can't see whether it is snow or a sea of clouds.

"It's a beautiful place." The second uncle couldn't help but sigh: "If you can build a hut here, eat mountains and drink mountain springs, practice martial arts during the day, and cultivate your mind at night, it is really a fairy-like life!" ”

"The only thing that can't compare to the immortals is that we have a limited longevity." The seventh master smiled bitterly, put down his backpack, and let the pig's head prepare the equipment for going down the mountain.

"This place is not so much a cliff as an underground valley." The second uncle stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down: "Can you measure the depth?" ”

"I've tested the pig's head before." Liang Ruoyi reached out and took out something that looked like a pocket watch from his backpack: "However, because the fog below is too heavy, it may not be accurate, judging from the value of the previous detector, it is almost three hundred meters deep." ”

"At a depth of three hundred meters, it's almost time to catch up with a small mine." Toad said on the side.

Everyone watched as the pig's head prepared the equipment for us one by one, and each dressed himself and stood on the edge of the cliff. I took a deep breath, and my little heart pounded: this deep valley is still good, because there is fog and I can't see below, if there is no fog, I have a serious fear of heights, and I probably have to make some mental preparations before I dare to go down.

"I've got this rope on." Pighead and Liang Ruoyi began to explain to us some precautions: "This longest rope is connected by fifteen high-strength fiber ropes, that is, this thin rope that passes through our waists, and this rope I tied to a large stone and a thick horse pine trunk over there, and there was no problem in carrying the weight of the seven of us. This is thick, the strength is stronger, but because we have limited equipment, this is the last few ropes we can use to wear up, its length is not enough, only about 270 meters, but this is a safety rope, also through our waist, if the rope breaks, we can only rely on this thick rope, when the time comes, whether to come the same way, or continue without security, it depends on the situation. ”

It was the first time that the pig's head was so serious, it seemed that the deep valley was still different from the mountain cliff, and the people of their Nanpan faction should know something.

We nodded, and each of us rechecked the ropes around our waists and the various equipment tied around our wrists and waists, and after making sure that everything was correct, we climbed down the edge of the cliff one by one.

Because of the difference in the environment this time, for the sake of safety, we climbed down vertically in a string, with a pig's head at the bottom, a one-armed cloth bag monk in the middle, and a toad at the top. After about ten minutes, we were all shrouded in the vast fog, the visibility was only seven or eight meters, and I could only see a slightly vague figure at the bottom of the pig's head.

Originally, my heart was always in my throat, and in the past, in the process of climbing down the cliff, some big birds and other animals would come to attack, but this time, I have been walking carefully down for nearly half an hour, and nothing happened.

"Let's take a break!" The pig's head at the bottom shouted at us, "I'll see how deep it is down there!" ”

The crowd threw their pickaxes and fixed their bodies and hung them in the air to rest.

As soon as I stopped, I began to gasp for breath, and as soon as the nerves that had been tense all the way relaxed, I felt that my body began to tremble slightly, and I couldn't use any strength.

"Be careful." Liang Ruoyi, who was above me, whispered to me: "It's okay, we can't lose you." ”

I smiled and nodded. The pig's head below shouted: "The detector shows that there should be less than a hundred meters below, so let's keep walking?" ”

"Keep walking!" The second uncle under me shouted: "Everyone cheer up, it's less than a hundred meters, and we can go down in one breath in ten minutes!" ”

The crowd answered, regained their spirits, and crawled down again.

After ten minutes of climbing, it was still smooth. I couldn't help but slowly let my guard down, but the others were becoming more cautious at this time, and their strength was becoming more and more fluid, and I saved a lot of effort.

Thinking in his heart, when he was less than twenty meters from the ground, the toad above his head suddenly shouted: "Be careful! A stone has fallen! ”

Everyone was stunned, for the sake of safety, everyone stopped together, looked up, and saw a black thing falling down from the white mist!
