I informed Fifth Master Zha that Captain Chen was looking for him to discuss things.

Fifth Master Zha first glanced at me, then nodded, and walked towards Captain Chen, Kun Ba and the others also followed, but I stood still and did not move, watching the fat man carry the rain on his back, and slowly walked in front of me.

I sat on the ground with my butt on my shoulder, and then put Tianyu, who was still unconscious, down and leaned against my arms.

The fat man sat next to me and asked me, "Lao Zheng, why don't you go over?" ”

I looked around and found that only Ge Laojiu, who was so sick that he only had half a life left, was lying not far away, and then there was no one else, so he said to the fat man: "Fifth Master Zha is the captain and leader of our team, just let him discuss and make decisions about things like this, we don't have to worry about it, as long as we obey the leader's orders, and we obey and fulfill, and we don't have to pay too much attention to other things." ”

I don't care whether the fat man understands the meaning of my words or not, but I have the mentality that more things are better than less things, and I feel that if I let the leader of the fifth master, come forward, everything will be solved easily and happily.

However, things are often unexpected, and I originally thought that Fifth Master Zha also had the same idea as me, that is, to agree with Captain Chen's suggestion to go to the higher place of the tower from the wooden staircase to check. Unexpectedly, the two sides had a dispute of opinion. The western expedition team led by the fifth master claimed that the road of death was connected to the demon tower, and refused to move forward without saying anything, insisting on returning to the ice valley by the same way from the entrance of the cave; And the others, led by Captain Chen, resolutely said that they couldn't travel in the treacherous fog, it was too easy to freeze to death, and everyone was easy to be scattered and separated in the thick white fog again.

Kun Ba completely acted as the gunman of the Fifth Master. Opened fire with all his might, argued with the people of the Southern team, and insisted on returning the way he came. The fierce argument made his face red and his neck thick, and his voice was hoarse. Seeing this, I immediately had a headache and thought: Don't turn the finger at me.

My inner thought was to support Captain Chen and go up to the top of the tower to have a look, because I had been in the fog, in the thick white mist. In addition to poor visibility, the temperature was unusually cold, and there was a snowstorm mixed with hail inside. It's really impossible to travel inside.

But I am a member of the Northern Western Expeditionary Team, and the Fifth Master is like my brother, so it is reasonable for me to stand on the side of the Fifth Master. Agree with him. But this is against my true will. Dilemma really makes me wonder what to do. One can only hope that they will not come to ask for their opinions.

As a result, what is afraid of what comes. Sure enough, someone turned the spearhead of the topic to me, and that stupid guy was Kun Ba, who alone saw that he couldn't distinguish between one and ten, so he pushed me to the front line of the battlefield, "Master Wen." Don't chill over there, come over and give your opinion. ”

I heard him call me. knew that it was too late to pretend to sleep at this time, so he had no choice but to stand up helplessly and said to the fat man: "You take care of Tianyu, I'll go over and take a look." ”

The fat man wanted to go too, but I was afraid that with him, the already chaotic argument would become more and more difficult to control, so I insisted that he wait where he was.

I walked to the front of everyone, first glanced at the fifth master, the expression on his face was very calm, and when he saw me coming, he smiled at me very lovingly, but I felt a trace of embarrassment in the smile. And I glanced at Kun Ba again, and he was completely pleading for help, probably hoping that I would take over his heavy responsibilities and confront Captain Chen and the others.

After looking at everyone's expressions one by one, I finally looked at Captain Chen and found that he smiled sincerely at me, but the balance in my heart immediately fell aside, and the idea of going up to the top to take a look immediately blurted out without thinking.

My answer stunned and shocked many. Some people in the Southern Western Expedition didn't expect me to turn against me and stand with them, while Kun Ba and Zha Wuye and others, who were full of expectations for me, immediately felt a deep sense of betrayal, and their sharp eyes were about to shoot me through.

I was also shocked by myself, because my character was too hesitant, in this dilemma, I would generally definitely shirk it with a flamboyant tongue, and then both sides would not be offended, but I didn't expect that I didn't even think about it, and directly said what I agreed with Captain Chen's thoughts, and as a result, the situation suddenly fell into a very embarrassing stalemate.

I had to smile very awkwardly and explain to Fifth Master Cha: "Fifth brother, the reason why I agree with Captain Chen's idea is also out of curiosity, I want to go to the top of the tower to have a look, maybe there are really other exits." And there's nothing to lose either. If we don't find the exit, it's not too late for us to go out of the cave and into the fog outside. Perhaps, during the time we climb above, the fog outside will dissipate, so that it will be an effective use of time, don't you say? ”

I explained a lot of nonsense, and the fifth master nodded with a very uncomfortable expression, and then turned around and left without saying a word.

And Kun Ba actually glared at me, and then followed the footsteps of the fifth master unhappily and walked away.

I stood still, as stiff as ice, unable to move. At this time, I knew in my heart that the rift in the northern expedition to the west was now completely placed on the table and could not be repaired. He is now caught in the middle of the north, south and west expeditions, and has become an isolated third-party force. However, no matter whether Zha Wuye and others still admit to me as a team member or not, I will always treat them as my teammates and never let them down.

Captain Chen began to send people to climb the plank, wanting to go to the top of the tower on a high place to check. I had to go back from the beginning, wanting to go to the fat man and Tianyu.

I walked forward with my head bowed in a sullen state, and suddenly, I heard an exclamation, and hurriedly turned my head to look behind me, thinking that the person who was climbing on the rotten wooden plank had accidentally fallen. But it turned out that the exclamation did not come from behind, but near the hole at the base of the tower, the exclamation of the fat man and others.

Then I saw a large amount of white mist pouring in from the mouth of the cave, and the fat man was already holding Tianyu and running to my nearness.

The entrance to the cave where the mist poured into turned white in an instant, and I was surprised to find that there was ice ballast climbing on the tower around the cave entrance, and soon covered part of the tower. It can be seen that the cold air carried by the white fog can instantly freeze people into popsicles.

The white mist slowly squeezed into the tower like solid cotton. All the people crowded in front of the tower farthest from the entrance of the cave, and some people couldn't wait to climb the wooden stairs behind them, and kept climbing upwards to escape.

A simple staircase made of wooden planks stacked at intervals is now the only way for people to escape, so whatever the outcome of the argument at the beginning? Everyone had to escape the place through the tattered and decaying staircase.

But whether there is an exit at the top of the tower to escape from this place, this is still an unknown certainty, maybe everyone escaped safely to the top, and found that there was no exit, and in the end there was only a dead end.

However, there is something even more fatal in front of them, that is, it is difficult for Tianyu and Ge Laojiu to climb the stairs on their own, and someone must take them with them. But the wooden staircase above the tower may not be able to withstand the weight of one person, and it is absolutely impossible for two people to stand on it together, so I cannot leave with the rain on my back.

This left me in an impasse that I couldn't get rid of.

More and more people stepped on the wooden stairs above the tower, and I urged the fat man to go up as much as possible, because the white fog was about to rush in front of me, and it was really too late to flee.

But the fat man said that he would not leave, and I couldn't persuade him, so I had to hug Tianyu and cling to the tower behind me with the fat man.

At this time, Ge Laojiu, who had been groggy all the time, suddenly seemed to be a different person, and he was able to climb the stairs behind him with his hands and feet, and then climb up without looking back. The playboy who had been worried about taking care of Ge Lao Ji looked up in astonishment when he saw that Ge Lao had climbed up like an ape.

I said to the dude who was still standing below, "Don't look at it, you can go up too." ”

The playboy looked at me, then at the fat man, and the fat man immediately urged him, "Go up quickly, don't be stupid to watch." With that, he pushed the playboy up the stairs.

The playboy looked down at me as soon as he climbed a staircase above, and I hurriedly waved at him to signal him to hurry up and climb up, and the playboy climbed up in three steps.

The white mist was already in front of me, and I felt a chill running over the skin of my cheeks.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from above, and a figure fell directly into a mist from above, and then did not let out a single moan, nor did it stand up again, as if even the sound of shouting was swallowed up by the white mist.

The escape path above is also not safe, there are too many wooden stairs that rot into slag, and if you are careful, you will become a staircase to hell, sending you directly to the underworld, where there is no return.

The imminent escape was imminent, and I had no time to pay attention to others and think about how to leave with the unconscious Tianyu.

After thinking about it, the most feasible way is to let the fat man climb to the place where he can settle on the top first, and then hang Tianyu on it. But when he looked up, he found that as far as his eyes could see, except for the crumbling wooden staircase, there was no other place to stay.

Now that she has been cornered, if she wants to escape, the only thing left is to wake up Tianyu, and then let her, who has come to her senses, climb the stairs on her own. (To be continued......)
