Chapter 114: Back to the city
Obviously, it is not possible to use light power, the distance between these two cliffs is too long, I am afraid that if you step on light power and fly halfway, you will use up your strength, this cliff is an abyss, and if you are a little poor, you may be crushed.
This is, don't even think about it, don't say that we don't have the materials that can build a lock bridge, even if there is, it's difficult to build this distance. This cliff is too steep, and although there are green vines at the bottom of the cliff peak, it is too dangerous to climb it.
Everyone was happy at first, and then they all discovered this key problem, seeing that the grass was not far away, but it couldn't be picked, which can be said to be the most anxious thing.
Everyone pondered and thought about it, but they came up with many solutions, but none of them were reliable. I raised my eyes to see Xuanyuan Chen, who was crouching on the edge of the cliff, looking down at something. I hesitated for a moment, then walked over and followed his gaze to see that he was staring at a few green vines.
"Have you thought of anything?" I asked.
He groaned, reached out and picked up a wild green vine and pulled it upward. The rhizome of this vine grows in the cracks of the stone wall, the vine body is the thickness of a child's arm, and the wind and sun on the top of the mountain, although the vine is rough, but it is also very tough.
He continued to pull the vines upward, and after a while, a large pile of vines gathered on the edge of the cliff, Helian Yunnuma and Ji Yunchang were puzzled, and they all gathered around, and the square-faced soldier also came over to help pull them, and finally pulled up all the wild vines hanging under the cliff.
Xuanyuan Chen did not hesitate, got up and tried the firmness vigorously, and then unfolded the vine, roughly estimating, this vine is as long as seven or eight zhang.
Wild ivy, cliff ......
My mind flickered, and I vaguely guessed something......
"Brother Lu, what are you doing here?" Helian Yunnuma was still a little puzzled and asked.
Xuanyuan Chen had straightened the vine at this time, and after trying the toughness of the vine tail a few times, he replied, "I'm going to swing over." ”
"Swing over." Helian Yunnuma's eyes lit up.
Yes, the vine is born in the crack of the stone, which can be described as strong and abnormal, if it is used as a vertical point to swing past, as long as the speed is fast enough, the grass will inevitably be captured.
Xuanyuan Chen tied the tail end of the rattan to his waist, tried it twice, and then put the rattan he dragged back down the cliff, and he wanted to jump here.
"Hey, wait." I grabbed him.
He straightened up, a smile on his lips, and turned his head, "What's wrong?" ”
I looked at the vine on his waist and the steep cliff beside him, and I felt uneasy.
He smiled, "County Lord, are you worried about your subordinates?" ”
I sighed, "It's going to be dangerous, be careful." ”
He glanced at the grass on the other side, and the smile on his lips was even bigger, "If you can come back safely, can the county lord agree to the next request?" ”
The wind at the top of the cliff was very strong, blowing away the broken hair on the side of his sideburns, and in the backlight, his unfamiliar face, green stubble, dark complexion, and those eyes exuded a gentle warm light.
I suddenly thought of his last glance in the mist.
The wind blew, and there was a faint feeling in my heart that I couldn't speak.
"What conditions." I asked.
Xuanyuan Chen's eyes showed a bright color, I didn't feel right, I thought of the gambling contract, and immediately said, "It can't be against your will, something that goes against common sense." ”
"Of course not." He laughed, then suddenly leaned in and whispered something in my ear, and before I could react, he kicked his feet and jumped off the cliff as fast as he could.
"Poof...... Puff ......"
My heart was beating fast and I hurried closer to the edge of the cliff to see what was going on.
"Whoosh......"
The dark figure fell like a cloud swallow, and when he was almost close to the end of the green vine, he kicked his feet, and the relay slowed down the momentum, and when he stabilized his body, he looked up and bent the corners of his lips at me, hooking a deep smile.
My face burned, and I wanted to glare at him, but I saw that he had already kicked with his strength, and his body swung out in a flicker.
"Hoo ......"
The cyan figure drew an arc between the cliffs, and when he approached the grass, he looked at the target and grabbed it......
"Chirp ........."
With a strange cry, out of nowhere, a big red-clawed bird with a clear gray body flew out, the bird was extremely fast, and it flew to Xuanyuan Chen's hand in an instant, and slammed it at the same time as he shot.
Suddenly, Xuanyuan Chen hurriedly retracted his hand, and due to inertia, his body also swung in mid-air, swinging back to the cliff.
"It's not good, that strange bird wants to eat grass!" Ji Yun often frowned and quickly raised his arms.
With a swish, the two Hidden Blades chased out into the wind, and the strange bird seemed to hear the sound, but with a flick of its wings and a volley in the air, it easily dodged the Hidden Blade, spun in a circle in the air, and lowered its head again to eat the herb.
"Oops!" Everyone exclaimed, and I clenched my fists nervously.
After three days in the mountains, I found this grass with my strength, and in order to find it, I overdrew my strength, and now my legs are weak. If it is eaten by this animal, how can you find the second herb in this vast and deep mountain.
I was nervous, but I couldn't think of a way, but I heard the sound of "Qiang Chang ......", the cold light on my side flashed, and a silver light came out against the light, flying straight towards the strange bird.
That's Helian Yunmarsh's Cold Water Sword!
"Wow!" The big bird was very alert, and with a strange cry, fluttering its wings, the cold water sword brushed against its back, cut off a few feathers, hit the cliff wall, and then fell under the cliff.
"Qiang Chang ......"
With another sound of drawing a sword, I saw Xuanyuan Chen volleying out of the air, and at the same time pulled out the Coiling Dragon Soft Sword coiled around his waist, picked up two sword flowers in his hand, and rushed straight towards the strange bird.
Sneak attack, grappling......
The bird is a bird, it is the king of the air, every time Xuanyuan Chen swings out, he can make two moves at most, this abyss, one more swing is more dangerous, I suddenly a little nervous, staring closely at the roots of the wild vine.
Fortunately, the vine is relatively strong, and there is no trace of detachment.
"Dump Mu, your exquisite crossbow can still be used." Ji Yunchang asked suddenly.
The bolts had been used up in the smoke of the illusion, but...
I wiped it casually, took out the only meteor dart in my sleeve, thought about it, and handed it to Ji Yunchang, "You come!" ”
The situation is urgent, and he is not polite, he picks up the meteor dart between his fingers, stands sideways, squints slightly, and shoots!
"Whoosh......"
"Poof!"
The meteor dart burst into a bolt of lightning and pierced directly into the side of the bird's wings, and the big bird let out a scream, flapped its wings a few times, and fell straight down the cliff.
With this kung fu, Xuanyuan Chen also swung out again, saw the target, and pulled it out hard......
Click......
A few feet away, I still seemed to hear the sound of the rhizome breaking through the soil. Everyone seemed to follow suit, leaned to the edge of the cliff, and pulled the vines upwards together, and after a while, they pulled Xuanyuan Chen up.
"County Lord, herbs." He curled his lips slightly, and reached out to hold the grass in front of me.
I stretched out my hand to take it, the green rhizome, the purple petals, this little herb, it was really not easy to get.
"Wow!"
Before he could be happy, a few strange cries suddenly came from under the cliff, and there seemed to be many strange cries echoing from the deep mountains, and in just a moment, a strange cyan bird flew in the distance.
"Run!" Xuanyuan Chen was the first to react, grabbed my waist and jumped in the air, and jumped out of the zhangxu. The reaction of everyone was fast enough, and they turned around and ran.
Just kidding, a strange bird is already difficult, such a big piece, but it can be returned!
The grass has arrived, and the useless grappling is more unintentional, thirty-six plans, and slipping into a big plan.
Through the woods, over the meadows, over the rocks......
The strange bird chased in the sky, and the group ran on the ground, chasing from noon to the future, and never chasing until the sunset, until the sun faded, and the bird may not be able to see at night, so it hovered in the air and was not chasing.
The crowd did not dare to relax, and ran forward for nearly an hour, until they were sure that the strange bird had been completely left behind, and then they were relieved.
"Oh, dear!" The square-faced soldier sat on the ground, wiping his sweat and rubbing his shoulders. He had been running slower just now, and he had been bitten twice by a bird, and his clothes were torn, and a large bruise appeared on his flesh.
Everyone has long been unable to run, have sat on the ground, the thin tall soldier is directly lying on the ground in a large shape, I can see clearly, just now he ran a sharp fall, a large number of strange birds flew towards him, he was frightened at that time, swished from the ground to jump, the escape of the express that called a fast!
Xuanyuan Chen sat me down on a tree stump, and sat down next to me, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead twice, then took out a water bag and handed it to me.
After I took a sip, he took it again and took a few sips with his neck raised.
Helian Yunnuma and Ji Yunchang also sat next to them, and after everyone eased up a bit, they all laughed when they remembered what happened just now.
There were many difficulties and dangers along the way, and in the end, I was chased by a group of strange birds and ran on the slow mountain, which was really embarrassing.
However, no matter what, it was worth the trip to find the grass.
At this time, it was late, obviously no longer in a hurry, everyone looked around, found that the ventilation here is excellent, the cicadas and birds seem to be safe, so they lit a bonfire, ready to rest for a night, dawn is going down the mountain.
Tossing for a day, everyone is tired, although I have been held by Xuanyuan Chen, but Xu is vomiting care, and my whole body is also very heavy.
Afraid that the smell of the grass would attract flying beasts, I used several layers of soft handkerchiefs to tightly pack the straw, and put it close to my heart, and then leaned against the trunk of a tree, dazed, and soon fell asleep.
I slept very unrealistically, one moment I dreamed of beasts, one moment I dreamed of snakes, and another I dreamed of swords and swords, countless corpses piled up under the city walls, and I woke up in a flicker, and the moon was still empty, and I didn't seem to sleep for long.
Sighing, I touched the place where the herbs were placed, turned my head and continued to sleep, dazed, and it was dawn.
When going up the mountain, the road is dangerous, and the road back down the mountain is naturally full of thorns.
Everyone was cautious all the way, for fear of something, but even so, two soldiers were accidentally bitten by a strange poisonous insect and died on the spot.
There were more than 20 people when we went up the mountain, and less than 10 people left when we came down the mountain, and we found the horses, and when we looked back at the vacant horses, we all regretted in our hearts.
Soldiers, even if they die, they should die on the battlefield, even if the yellow sand covers the bones, even if the corpses are uneven.
And now, they have died in this Jige Mountain, which is a pity for these dozen good sons.
"Let's go, old marshal, I'm still waiting for the herbs to save my life." Xuanyuan Chen said softly.
I hummed, lifted the reins and beat the horse, and the group galloped in the direction of Maicheng again.
