Chapter Seventy-One: The Fall

Ding Qin's heart sank. When the two of them went down, they both wrapped a rope around their bodies with safety buckles, and even if they encountered an accident, they would fall on the rope. Now the pull of the rope suddenly fails, and there is only one possibility.

Two people, leaving the rope at the same time.

Unless, the two of them were quite close to the bottom of the cliff, and after deliberation, they jumped off. Otherwise, there is only one possibility.

The rope broke from somewhere.

"Pull it up, pull it up immediately!" Ding Qin's tone trembled slightly, not knowing if it was because of nervousness or excitement.

He repeatedly recited a sentence in his heart, "It's going to be fine, it's definitely going to be fine!"

The soldier who was in charge of fixing the rope was obviously also anxious, and under Ding Qin's command, he quickly pulled upward.

However, apart from the weight of the rope itself, there was clearly no other weight.

The rope of seven or eight hundred meters has been pulled to the ground in a short time. The moment the end of the rope reached the edge of the cliff, almost everyone's hearts were cold.

There are no people, and there is nothing left.

Ding Qin walked over and picked up the end of the knot. Obviously, there was no trace of half a cut on the rope, it was pulled by some force and forcibly broken.

And the last rope, only about three meters remained. In other words, the rope is at least five or six meters away from the actual distance between the two people.

They carefully inspect each rope to make sure there are no safety hazards before putting it down. So, it can't be a natural fracture.

And the strength of this rope, not to mention hanging two people, is more than enough for ten people.

Ding Qin repeatedly checked the rope and muttered, "There must be something under this cliff." It's supposed to be some kind of flying monster. It may be that only flying monsters will break the rope above their heads. ”

There was silence throughout the ranks. When it comes to such a thing, none of them can give any meaningful advice. At the same time, they are also accustomed to being led, whether it is Ding Qin or Feng Lei.

"Check the rope and send me down. After a long time, Ding Qin made up his mind and instructed the personnel in charge of fixing the rope.

"Childe, this ...... Obviously there is danger down there, how can you ......"

Ding Qin shook his head, "It is precisely because I know that there is danger that I want to go down to see what the situation is." What if the two of them are just injured? What if we delay so much that their injuries get worse? Either way, we have to find out. ”

Ding Qin took a deep breath, "Moreover, they went down for a while before the situation appeared. When I go down, you hold on to the ropes. If there is a situation, I will find a way to climb up. Feel any change in the weight on the rope, don't hesitate to pull it up right away. ”

Everyone was worried, and the older ones all stopped talking.

They knew that once Ding Qin made a decision, no one could shake his determination.

Therefore, after being silent for a while, everyone nodded their heads.

Tie a safety knot on his body and put it on the rope, Ding Qin slowly walked to the edge of the cliff.

At the edge of the cliff, he was slightly stunned.

This is the second time in his age that he has taken the risk to explore uncharted territory.

The first time is to enter the Sea of Stars.

But at that time, he was young and impulsive, and he didn't know the dangers in the sea of stars.

And this time, on the premise that the first two people have disappeared.

Ding Qin was a little nervous in his heart. After taking a few hard breaths and calming his feelings, he jumped down.

Falling about a dozen meters, the rope began to tighten. After that, he maintained a relatively constant speed and slowly decreased.

In the process, he finally observed the true face under the great cliff.

The entire cliff face is concave, except for the upper section with some falling floating sand, and the gray-white rocks are exposed below. The lack of many cracks in the rock, combined with the overall tendency to concave the rock, makes it impossible to climb with bare hands.

The further down he went, the higher the humidity became, and after going down a few hundred meters, Ding Qin entered the stratus cloud. From above, it was a cloud, but it was actually an extremely thick layer of fog, and when you entered it, you could not see it at a distance of fifty meters, except for the obvious feeling of dampness and coolness.

The entire cloud is about 100 meters thick, and as the depth of the cloud increases, the sound above also weakens rapidly. After passing through the clouds, the sound from above was completely unhearable.

At this time, the scene below also entered Ding Qin's eyes.

If the desert above the clouds sees desolation, then under the clouds, it can only be described as beautiful.

The ground is still about a few hundred meters away from Ding Qin's current position. However, the air here is always clean and the view is very good.

A big river, mighty, the sound of the water can be heard. On both sides of the river, there are flat meadows and trees, and in some areas they tend to be bright colors, which should be clumps of wildflowers.

The rope continued to descend slowly until it came to a complete stop. Ding Qin hung in this position, at least two or three hundred meters from the ground.

At such a distance, it is impossible to jump. And Ding Qin looked down, there was a green grass on the ground, and there was no trace of anyone falling.

Where did Feng Lei and the leader of the Advance Team go?

"Vice General Feng!"

Ding Qin shouted vigorously a few times, but no one responded except for his own voice echoing in it.

He took a deep breath and looked up. The white clouds completely obscured the view, as if the world above did not exist at all.

Suddenly, he noticed something gray in the clouds.

The gray quickly expanded, and the color became heavier and heavier.

Not good, it could be Warcraft!

Ding Qin was slightly startled in his heart, and immediately grabbed the rope and climbed up. The person above also seemed to feel the slight change in the force on the rope and began to pull upward.

However, it was too late.

A large bird rushed out of the clouds and flew directly down the rope towards Ding Qin.

The bird is eagle-shaped, but much larger than an eagle, and when its wings are spread, it is estimated to be four or five meters. It descends extremely fast and stays close to the rope.

Ding Qin knew that something was wrong, and immediately transported the water trick to protect himself. At the same time, he took out a prepared dagger from his waist and directly swung it three times in succession.

Three strikes from the water blade came out in response.

However, this big bird actually maintained enough agility at high speeds. The three attacks were skillfully avoided by it, and at this time, the distance between it and Ding Qin was less than twenty meters.

Ding Qin was horrified. In this case, it is false to say that you are not afraid.

On one side is the big bird pressing on the top, and on the other side is the 100-meter abyss. Either way, it can kill people.

And because of the proximity, he had no way to organize an effective attack. If you don't pay attention, you may cut the rope if you get away from the water.

It was also at this time that the big bird fluttered its wings and a strong force struck from the air. Ding Qin clung to the rope and his body staggered.

The birds are still falling!

Could it be that Feng Lei and the leader of the predominance team were eaten by it?

Thinking of this, Ding Qin couldn't help but get goosebumps again.

At a distance of six or seven meters from Ding Qin, the big bird's silver-gray claws directly grabbed the rope, and with a break of his legs, he directly pulled the rope off.

And so it was!

Although he knew the truth about the broken rope, Ding Qin directly lost his pull and fell into the air. The wind was whistling in his ears, and he could barely control his shape.

What's even worse is that the big bird suddenly rushed over again, opened its mouth, and screamed.

The tweet was clearly aggressive. Ding Qin only felt that his body's qi and blood were surging, he was dizzy for a while, and soon his eyes turned black and he lost consciousness.

Vaguely, he felt that he had fallen on something. But he couldn't tell the difference, and he didn't know if it was a hallucination.

...............................................................................................................

I, am I dead? or alive?

I don't know how long it took for this realization to begin to appear in Ding Qin's mind.

It was only after this that he began to hear the voice of the bone soul.

"Boy, wake up, wake up, you're not dead!"

I didn't die? I didn't fall to my death?

After a short period of hard work, Ding Qin finally opened his eyes. The light made his eyes sting, and it took a while for him to get used to it, and his vision gradually became clearer.

Indoors, actually indoors!

He struggled to his feet and examined his body. Except for some soreness, it was actually intact!

Fall down from such a high place and not hurt yet?

Ding Qin's doubts gradually rose, and he immediately asked the bone soul, "What is the situation?"

"It's the bird. "It got you off the rope and took you on your back and brought you to this place. However, because you are in a deep coma, it also hinders my perception of the outside world. I don't know where it is. One thing is for sure, though, that this is at the bottom of the cliff. ”

"Doesn't that mean that Feng Lei and the leader of the precursor team may also be here?" Ding Qin's first thought was actually this matter.

He looked at the room again, and it was clearly artificially built. "And, there must be someone here. ”

"I don't know if there's anybody. Bone Soul sighed, "But it's a blessing not to die." You know, if you're dead, I'm going to be gone. ”

Before Ding Qin could answer, he heard the door squeak.

Behind the door, there were five people.

Five heavily armed men.

These five people are all wearing very retro armor, and they are all holding heavy weapons. The leader one, with white hair, is very powerful.

And the reclusive people?

Along the way, Ding Qin has met three or four waves of such people, and now he is a little used to it.

"You're awake. Very well, now please answer a few questions from us. The leader's tone, though serious, inexplicably gave people a sense of justice.

"Who are you, what is this place?" Ding Qin couldn't help but ask first.

"It's us who ask you, not you who ask us. Your answer will determine the life and death of the three of you. Wait until you save your own life before you ask us questions. ”

The old man's tone became a little sharp, and after speaking, he took a few steps forward. The people behind him also dispersed in turn, encircling Ding Qin half.
