Chapter 53: A View from the Cliff

Lantern Xiao nodded, "Okay, okay, calm down, the first time we watched his performance, it was also this expression, and it would be good to get used to it in the future!" ”

Anadot still had an expression of disbelief, "The nimble herb picker in our village doesn't have this speed, he's too powerful. Who the hell is he? ”

Anado's question stopped me and Lantern Xiao, yes, who he is, we don't know. Thinking of this, I suddenly found a problem, we have forgotten the mystery of Wenmo. I remember when we first met Wenmo, we worked hard to pursue his secret. But now, although we still don't know Wen Mo as a person, unconsciously, after experiencing so many events together, we have unconditionally trusted him.

Looking back, I realized that Wenmo and I should be fellow travelers, I was chasing my secrets, he was chasing what he wanted, we had the same goal, but they didn't conflict, and probably because of this, we formed the kind of relationship that we have now.

Lantern Xiao spread his hands, "It's over, the boss dumped us again!" What to do? ”

I walked to the edge of the cliff and reached out and pulled a few vines on it, "What are you going to do!" Let's go! You can't go back! ”

Lantern Xiao nodded, "That's okay!" Then let's move towards difficulties! As he spoke, he began to come over and study how to go up.

The woman was still more attentive, and Anador came over to look at my shoulder, "How is your shoulder?" Will it work? ”

I clenched my fist hard, and then moved back and forth slightly, and although it still hurt, it was still okay as long as the amplitude was not very large.

I reached out and threw away the bandage that was hanging from my arm, and smiled at Anado, "No problem! ”

"But," Anador still didn't seem reassured.

I looked at her and said, "It's all here, there are difficulties to go on, there are no difficulties to create difficulties, and it is impossible to retreat." How? Aren't you in a hurry to find my second uncle? ”

Hearing me mention the word second uncle, Anado's eyes lit up instantly, and then nodded heavily, "Okay, let's continue!" ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that in Anado's heart, compared to looking for my second uncle, my injuries are insignificant.

"Come and see!" Lantern Festival suddenly beckoned at us not far away.

Anador and I walked along, and on the way we found a lot of rocks scattered among the bushes, either intact or broken, and I reckon they had all fallen from this cliff.

From this, I can boldly speculate that there should have been something like a plank road on the top of the cliff, but with the erosion of time, it has become dilapidated.

When we came to the edge of the cliff, Lantern Xiao pointed to the mountain wall and said to us, "Look, there are still many holes left in this cliff. "I leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, it looked like the ancestors who lived here back then left traces when they built the plank road on this cliff face.

Since the angle of this cliff is almost vertical, even if I find these holes, it is still difficult and dangerous to climb, and I am a little hesitant to climb one of my hands.

I looked up and said, "This, is this going to work?" Can it reach the top? ”

Lantern Xiao patted her chest nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry, look at me!" As he spoke, he stepped on it, and then stabilized himself with the help of the vines around him. Although these vines may seem a little weak, they are more than enough for balance.

Watching Lantern Xiao slowly climb up along the hole in the stone wall, Anado looked at me, "Can you do it?" ”

As a man, I can never say that I can't do it myself, I smiled slightly and made an OK gesture.

Anador nodded, climbed up as well, and then turned to me and said, "Then I'll go up first, don't be reluctant, I really can't think of other ways." ”

I patted my chest, "It's not certain who will go up first in a while!" ”

Anador smiled and turned her head to climb up. Anadot often followed her father to collect medicine in the mountains, so she was very familiar with such climbs, and soon overtook the Lantern Festival in front of her.

Lantern Xiao looked at Anado's back and shrugged at me again. I pointed to it and told him to concentrate and not fall and fall on top of me in a moment.

At the bottom, I climbed harder, and my injured shoulder didn't dare to push too hard, and whenever I used my arm strength, my shoulder started to hurt. So I'm almost straining with one hand, and the other hand is only doing some slight assistance.

Lantern Xiao turned her head at a little above and asked, "Zhuo Ran, is your arm okay?" Otherwise, you wait down there, and after we'll go up later, we'll pull you up with a rope. ”

I waved at him, "It's okay!!" I can get on! ”

Lantern Xiao still seemed to be a little worried, looked at me deeply, said be careful, and then turned her head and climbed up again.

When Lantern Xiao turned his head, I quickly put away my pretended relaxed expression and gritted my teeth vigorously.

The reason why I say this is that I don't want to trouble them anymore, because they are not easy. In addition, I also secretly scolded myself for being useless and competing with myself. Fortunately, the holes in the cliff wall are quite dense, and with the help of the vines next to me, I can barely cope with it. But by this time I was sweating profusely and my back was soaking wet. In addition to fatigue, I felt more pain in my shoulder.

I found that after going through all this mess, in addition to the confusing oddities and unbelievable mysteries, there were some benefits for me, I don't know how much the high-intensity cross-country climbing and diving helped my physical fitness, but one thing is for sure, my character has become much stronger than before. That's what keeps me in the situation in front of me.

In this way, I climbed all the way to the halfway point of the cliff, and by this time I was out of breath and I had to rest here. I leaned my body against the stone wall, one hand clutching a vine next to me, and the other injured arm, which I had to hang completely loosely, because I already felt a little numb.

Since my face was almost attached to the cliff face, I was surprised to notice some less obvious marks on the slightly sloping stones. I reached out and gently wiped the dirt off it, and I could vaguely make out what seemed to be an oval pattern, which could no longer be restored after the erosion of wind, frost, rain and snow, but after I recognized it for a while, I realized that it seemed to be an eye!

I couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that there is a mural here, this eye is only a part of it, this discovery, makes me a little excited. Perhaps the information on the mural can help us understand what really happened here back then.

I hurriedly wiped some of the stains off the side of my eye, and sure enough, I saw another eye. My heart was filled with anticipation. So, I made the cleanup work even bigger. Soon I found more patterns carved into the stone walls, but to my shock, they were all eyes!

This discovery made me stop what I was doing, and I couldn't imagine the strange scene of eyes carved into the stone wall.

Noticing the direction the eyes were looking, I turned my head to look across the cliff.

A little farther away, three tall stone pillars stood abruptly between the jungle. I always feel that in addition to being used as the so-called Heavenly Thunder Splitting Demon, there must be a more significant meaning in this!

Suddenly a wind blew, and the vines shook, so frightened that I quickly stabilized my figure, and I looked down to see that I was at least five stories above the ground, and I was a little dizzy.

I don't think about these things for the time being, it's safer to climb up quickly, stay here for a long time, a mistake, it's over!

I looked up and saw that from where I was, there were some stones fixed to the cliff wall intermittently. At the same time, a tricky situation arose, the stones that went down from my position were basically falling off, so the holes that were used to hold the stones in place were exposed. But the situation is different further up, there are very few stones that fall off, but many breaks.

As a result, there is no way to settle on the broken rock, and at the same time, the holes in the cliff wall are blocked, and it is also impossible to settle, so in many places, it is necessary to use some more difficult jumps and climbs to pass. It's not like I can't do it in normal times, but now my situation makes me a little overwhelmed.

I looked up at Anadot and Lantern Xiao above, the two of them were almost at the top of the cliff.

Lantern Xiao saw my predicament, lowered his head and shouted to me: "Zhuo Ran, you stay there and don't move, I'll go up and lower the rope immediately and pull you up!" ”

I lifted my injured arm with difficulty and made an OK gesture to him.

While I was waiting for help, I suddenly noticed that there were some holes not far from me, which seemed to be extending to other places. It seems that there was originally a road here, which did not lead to the top, but to the other direction, but such a terrain, even if a plank road was built here back then, but where can it lead?

I couldn't help but start conjecturing, and at the same time these conjectures aroused my great curiosity. I had a rough estimate of how difficult the route would be. So he walked cautiously.
