Chapter 24: The Iron Cable
At this moment, everyone was silent, and Tofu's words were a little speechless halfway, and even a trace of surprise flashed in the dumb eyes. In the end, Wen Min took out some drinking water and said, "You guys avoid it, I'll help her wash it first." ”
We could only turn around, and for a moment, we could only hear the sound of ticking water. Tofu whispered and complained about the mute, saying that the mute was too unsympathetic, and it was a shameful act to bully the weak. The dumb man only frowned slightly, and ignored us.
After a while, Wen Min said yes. Everyone turned around and saw that she had cut the Japanese woman's dirty hair short, rinsed the dirt on her lower body, and took off her coat to wrap around the Japanese woman. Wen Min is already tall, and her coat is covered by a thin Japanese woman, which is not small, and she herself wears a tight-fitting army green vest, and there is a lot of strength hidden in her delicate bodyline.
At this moment, the Japanese woman was very weak and nervous, in a semi-comatose state, and from time to time words came out of her mouth that we did not understand, and the mute did not respond to them, as if she was saying words that did not make any sense.
Since it's a woman, the two of them are not as rude as before, and they simply carry people who don't have much weight on their backs, and there is a peculiar attraction between the opposite sex, although the origin of this Japanese woman is unknown, but our group of big men, in the face of such a weak crazy woman, really can't be ruthless and abuse her again, so they can only take people with them first.
Immediately afterward, the crowd bypassed the stone chamber filled with treasures and began to move on. This treasure cave is huge, and the value of the things in the period is incalculable, and for any inverted person, these things are enough to make people lose their minds, but we are not aiming for them.
Everyone continued to move forward, just as the stone tablet said, all the way away, all the way unimpeded, there was no mechanism, and the surrounding Ming weapons were not quenched, all the way, there were countless treasures, dizzying, it was like walking into a treasure trove.
However, at this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of the cave, and the light seemed to be shining through the sun.
My heart moved, and I said, "Is there an exit ahead?"
Soon, everyone walked into the glimmer of light, and they saw that it was an arched exit, and on the mountain wall at the exit, several ancient seal characters were engraved. Wen Min said softly: "Giant eared gods, the living people stop. Could it be that this is the entrance to the Giant Ear King's Crypt Palace? “
Tofu said: "Where is there any underground palace, we are still on the cliff." "I saw that the exit of this cave was also open on the cliff, but this side of the cliff was deeper, and when I looked down, I only felt that the clouds were steaming and foggy, and I couldn't see the environment below at all, and the opposite side was also a mountain cliff, but this cliff was separated by two or three hundred meters, and the distance in the middle was a white expanse of natural danger.
Zhong Gong speculated and said; "Could it be that the ancient tomb is at the bottom of this cliff?"
I didn't guess with everyone, but looked at the dumb man, if the information in Lu Su's hand really fell into the hands of the dumb man, then the dumb man should know where the entrance to the underground palace is. I noticed that the mute was not paying attention to the bottom of the cliff, his gaze kept looking at the other side.
Could it be that the entrance to the tomb of the Giant Ear King is on the opposite cliff? To be honest, the distance is too far away at this time, and the clouds and mist are steaming, and the cliffs on the opposite side appear and disappear from time to time, so it is not clear what the situation is.
At this moment, Wen Min's eyes were sharp, and he sighed, motioned for us to look down, and said, "There seems to be a ropeway below." When everyone heard her say this, they followed her gaze and looked down, and sure enough, they saw that about ten meters below, there were two thick black iron chains, which extended to the opposite side.
At this time, the clouds and mist were steaming, and the iron chains in the mist appeared and disappeared from time to time, and after observing for a long time, we made up our minds. The iron chains that were sent down were firmly fixed in the mountain, and there were two parallel chains, extending to the opposite side, and although we could not see the ends, we could be sure that these two chains were connected.
Tofu Qi said: "What are you doing under the two iron chains?" ”
Zhen Rui observed for a moment and said, "It's a chain bridge, and the planks and ropes on it should be rotten, so only the chains remain." ”
Feng Ghost said: "It seems that the bottom of this cliff is not very peaceful. When asked how he could see it, Feng said that the load-bearing capacity of the chain bridge was limited, and the reason why the bridge was built in this place was because of the needs of the project. However, the bearing capacity of the chain bridge is not good, and it is shaky, which is not conducive to transporting materials, so in contrast, it will be more time-saving and labor-saving to pass directly from the bottom of the cliff. But obviously, when it was built, it did not go to the cliff valley, but opened up a separate chain bridge, so at a glance, there must be something at the bottom of the cliff.
Feng Ghost Hand's analysis made us suddenly realize, Tofu gave a thumbs up, and said: "Old Feng, I didn't expect you to have such a clever side in addition to quarreling, so to speak, the tomb of the Giant Ear King should be on the opposite cliff." You say, "What is the environment under this cliff?" Why should Puzhen avoid it? Whoever can make a detour of wood must be extraordinary. ”
Feng Ghost Hand didn't bother to take care of the tofu at all, and completely ignored this passage.
Tofu was not angry, so he went to the dumb man again and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it, what should I do next?" ”
The dumb man retracted his gaze and said coldly: "The entrance to the underground palace is on the opposite side, pass through the cableway." ”
Zhong Gong said: "For more than 1,000 years, I don't know if this cableway is strong, in case of an accident, it will ......."
When Lei Zi heard this, he immediately volunteered and said to the mute: "Mr. Wu, I'll go down to investigate first, and if there is an accident, let's think of another way." The dumb man bowed slightly, and Lei Zi tied the rope, and with our assistance, went down to the iron rope ten meters below.
He observed the structure of the iron cable embedded in the cliff, and shook it vigorously, and we immediately heard the sound of the iron chains clattering against each other, and then Lei Zi made an OK gesture at us, indicating that the iron cable was strong enough to allow us to pass guò.
Everyone immediately went down the rope, and there were two iron cables, which were strongly affected by gravity, and were deeply rooted in the mountain. Minus the departing sunspots, plus the Japanese woman, our group of seventeen people divided into two groups, followed the two iron cables, put on the safety buckle and began to walk to the opposite side. When you don't walk with your feet, but with your hands, the only safety measure is the safety buckle around your waist.
Soon, everyone was buckled to the iron rope, as if hanging bacon. Although we went down about ten meters, at this moment we looked down, still couldn't see the environment at the bottom of the cliff, thinking of Feng Ghost's speculation before, everyone was worried that there would be something strange under the cliff, so they didn't dare to delay, and immediately began to move forward along the iron cable.
However, before moving about a third of the way, the Japanese woman who was being carried by the wind bundle suddenly woke up, and the moment she opened her eyes and woke up, she suddenly burst out into a piercing scream. Everyone moved intently to the opposite side, who had the kung fu to pay attention to her. Her sudden burst of voice really scared people. We could only hear the screams echoing between the cliffs, one after the other, and the shrill women's screams poured into our ears like a tidal wave.
Tofu exclaimed: "This, why is this echo so powerful!" ”
"It should be related to the terrain, so let her stop screaming." "We simply had a safety buckle, and Leizi, who was following closely behind the wind, immediately stretched out his hand to cover the Japanese woman's mouth and said, "Don't fucking scream, if you go crazy again, it doesn't matter if you are a woman or not." ”
The Japanese woman couldn't make a sound, but she kicked desperately, her eyes widened, and I suddenly felt that something was wrong, because at this moment, because of the position, the Japanese woman was facing me, and I could almost clearly see the look on her face, which was a look that I often saw in the fight: panic, pain, and despair.
Why did she have such an expression?
I felt a little chilly in my back, and subconsciously looked back, and behind me was a foggy void, and there was nothing.
The Japanese woman was kicking and punching, and her screams echoed in our ears. The echo circled and circled, and the timbre had changed, and it seemed to be another woman screaming in my ears, which made people extremely uncomfortable.
With her kick, the entire iron cable on the opposite side shook, and the people on the iron cable shook one after another, only feeling very thrilling. Lei Zi was furious, seeing that the Japanese woman was struggling endlessly, and his own people followed her struggle, swaying in the air, it was really thrilling, he was worried about an accident, so he asked the mute at the front: "Mr. Wu, what should I do?" Or kill her. ”
Wu Shui turned his head and was about to answer, when suddenly, a croaking sound sounded in everyone's ears, like countless frogs barking, and at the same time, I suddenly felt a cool breeze surging up in the void under the iron cable.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look down, and in an instant, they saw countless black shadows rising from the bottom of the cliff, and they were birds the size of small monkeys, they were like a black cloud, densely flapping their wings from the bottom of the cliff, and the dark wind brought up went straight up.
I didn't expect that there were so many big birds inhabiting under the cliff, obviously, it was the echo caused by the scream just now that startled these big birds inhabiting the cliff.
At first, we thought these blackbirds were crows, but soon, as they continued to rise, we could tell from their sharp hooked beaks that this was a bird of prey, and a bird of prey that we had never seen before.
Their beaks were sharp and clawed, like eagles, but they were covered with jet-black feathers, like a black cloud, and as soon as they rose, they swooped down on us. Everyone didn't react at first, almost all of them were pecked by these strange birds, one peck was a piece of meat, one time was a few screams, and my shoulder was also scratched.
At this moment, Tofu shouted: "Kill quickly, these birds will eat people!" "Where do you need tofu to say more, after everyone was pecked, they had already taken out their weapons, and for a while, the whole valley echoed with the sound of flapping wings, and the word tofu eating people.
