The group cautiously stepped onto the rope bridge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info To be honest, walking on it, I have no bottom in my heart. I'm afraid that the rope bridge won't be able to support the weight of a few of us, and if it breaks halfway, it's over.

But it's all about me being overly nervous. The backbone of the rope bridge is made of three small arm-thick hemp ropes intertwined with each other, and it is not a problem to bear the weight of several of us. So when all four of us stepped on it, there was no sign of any insecurity except for a slight shaking.

"I said, do you think it's getting colder and colder in this place?"

Cassia has a mouth, surrounded by his ethereal echoes. In fact, as early as when I was on the stone road, I felt that this place was surprisingly cold. Now walking on the rope bridge, this feeling is gradually becoming stronger.

"Don't speak, watch your step, be careful not to step on the air."

The master reminded in front, and everyone nodded and stopped talking, holding their breath and concentrating on groping forward step by step.

But he didn't go far, and Cassia suddenly said, "Wait, do you smell it, a stench?" ”

"Stink?"

When a person moves from normal to a colder environment, there is a time when the sense of smell becomes more sensitive than ever. I sniffled and felt it, and I did smell a strange smell, not very smelly, but I could feel it, something that made this smell, very close to us.

The others apparently smelled it too, so they heard the camel old man whisper, "It's gargoyle droppings, be careful, this place may be their lair." ”

"****, what do these beasts eat, the whole bridge is smoked by them."

Cassia scolded while rubbing against the rope, scolding, and his tone was extremely bad.

But as soon as his words fell, he saw a sudden change in the face of the camel Laosi.

"All on alert! These are still hot, and they're all around us! ”

I was shocked, and my heart said, "They? Is there more than one? ”

Before I could think about it, a cool breeze suddenly swept overhead. I thought something was wrong, and just as I wanted to run away, the back collar was hooked by a pair of claws. Suddenly, my whole body was lifted, and my feet were instantly freed.

I screamed in fright, and Cassia rushed over and grabbed me by the waist first, and dragged me off the top. I could clearly hear my clothes tearing, and then I fell on my back on the bridge. The torch fell from my hand and rolled down the bridge. It took a long time before I heard the sound of torches falling to the ground.

I suddenly let out a "thump" in my heart, and said that if I fell off the bridge, I would definitely break my bones. Although listening to the movement just now, there should be a waterhole below, but falling from this height, the water surface is actually not much different from the rock surface, and there is no need to negotiate.

And it was only then that I realized that the planks of the bridge deck were covered with that gargoyle droppings, layer upon layer, everywhere. The bottom one had already dried, and it was harder than stone. And some of the feces are still very fresh, just like Cassia just touched, which should have been just excreted.

"How? You okay? ”

Several people came to ask me, and I shook my head and wiped the cold sweat from my neck. The one just now must have seen me walk at the end of the list, so he chose to attack me. Now that I'm out of torches, those brutes must be even more unscrupulous. Cassia let me and Master walk in the middle, and he came to the back of the hall. In order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, Hump Lao Si added fire oil to the torch to make the torch crackle.

This time, a few of us got very close, almost human. From time to time, dark shadows passed by in the darkness overhead, but they didn't dare to attack us easily. In this way, until there was no end in sight in front and back, several people stood on the bridge deck and looked around. It's like we're standing in the middle of this endless void, unknowingly breaking into another world.

"You say, if the guard did come here, would he leave us any mark?"

Cassia said that it was quite possible that, with the boy's character, he would definitely leave a mark in one of the most noticeable places. This person has a very clear mind, and he will not be confused by his surroundings. Looking at the overall situation, the biggest target here is this rope bridge, and maybe somewhere on the bridge, there is a guiding mark he left behind.

But before we could implement this idea, the fourth brother who was walking in front suddenly said that there was no way ahead.

I reached over and saw that the bridge deck in front of me was empty! The planks were gone, and only a few bridge cables were left hanging in the air, as if the bridge deck had been paved to the feet of the fourth, and then it came to an abrupt end. My first reaction was that the planks had broken for too long, or had been deliberately removed, but when I thought about it, it was unlikely.

It seems that the whole project is not completely completed. The rope bridge was supposed to be abandoned, just as it was about to be completed, but for some reason.

These few people are starting to get anxious, no one expected this situation to suddenly appear, and now there are only two roads in front of us. Either learn to be a monkey and climb over the bridge rope upside down; Or just turn around and go back. With our current physical strength, the first path is tantamount to looking for death, and the devil knows how far the road lies ahead. That means we have no choice but to go back the way we came.

"Is that kid playing a trick on us? What kind of bullshit is this? ”

Cassia was already a little prejudiced against the guards, but now when he encountered this situation, he was even more angry.

"Wait." The fourth camel seems to have discovered something.

"Sure enough, someone went down from here."

"Go down?" Cassia leaned on the bridge rope and glanced down.

"You're saying they're all birdmen, flying down? Or did they just jump from here without any brains? ”

The camel shook his head and said, "It's very simple, they follow the rope and climb all the way down." ”

I patted my head and thought to myself, so I hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, I saw a rope hanging down from the bridge deck. Hump Lao Si is right, it seems that someone has indeed climbed down from here. That means we don't have to go back the way we came.

The camel took the lead, first tried the strength of the rope, and when it was all right, he tied the torch around his waist and said to us, "I will go down first to explore the way, and you will wait for my signal above." ”

"Be careful."

The fourth camel nodded, and his face actually showed a smile: "Several, let's see you below." After saying that, he began to climb down the rope, and his movements were very skillful and fast. It didn't take long for him to merge with the darkness below, and all he could see above was a faint ball of fire moving endlessly.

Soon, a signal came from below, meaning that he had landed safely. We didn't stay any longer, Master couldn't keep up with his physical strength, and he couldn't accept such a high-intensity climb anymore, so Cassia picked up Master and tied a rope around the waists of the two of them. After making sure that there was no problem, Cassia climbed onto the rope with his master on his back and slowly climbed down. Although this time it was the weight of two people, they still landed safely without danger.

I was left alone on the bridge. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I did not dare to stay on the bridge for a long time. Forcing himself to stay awake, he tied the torch to his waist, carefully tugged at the rope, and began to climb down.

As I climbed down, I was nervous. This action looks simple, not difficult. But when I actually dragged the rope down, I realized that it was a game of death. The rope is not as tough as anything else, it is so soft that with the slightest movement, the rope will swing in mid-air. The worst thing is that the legs can't be used at all, and it is difficult to control the speed of the slide with only two hands. In this case, as long as I don't pay attention to it a little, I may fall off the rope directly, and then fall from a height of more than ten feet, and finally lie down in front of Cassia in blood.

I had no choice but to twist the rope between my legs, cling to the rope, and slowly slid down. The fire on the ground was getting closer and closer to me, and I could even see someone waving at me. I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to slide down in one go. Unexpectedly, the gargoyle that had been hovering on the bridge suddenly swooped down and began to attack me, and one of them was grabbing my hair and lifting it up, and the force simply did not leave me alive.

I was immediately furious, and said to myself, "Grandma's, these brutes are addicted to catching me, and I have one hand free, grab a torch and go and burn it."

The beast must have been frightened by the fire, and as soon as I moved, it screamed and flew up and away. However, due to my excessive force, coupled with the fact that I was pulling the rope with one hand, the center of gravity was unstable, which caused the rope to shake very badly, and the whole person dragged the rope through an arc in the air.

I was so frightened that my heart almost jumped out, and I hurriedly threw the torch and hugged the rope. It wasn't until the rope was stable that it began to climb down.

Eventually, by the time my feet stepped on the thick ground again, I was almost paralyzed from fright, and my legs were shaking like chaff. It took half a column of incense to slow down before he took a breath. After Cassia took me next, I went to take care of Master. I sat down on the ground and turned my head to take a general look at my surroundings, which was full of water, and where we were now was a large sacrificial platform in a waterhole.

It seems that this is the giant mountain cave on the mural.

Cassia was taking care of Master, and I looked around and didn't notice where the fourth camel was.

Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder from behind. I thought it was the fourth, but when I looked back, I was stunned.

"Who are you?"

I was completely unprepared to see a stranger here.
