Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Whirlpool in the River

"No," I shook my head, "you may not have seen that kind of field sealed bag, in addition to a concave and convex buckle seal, there is also a zipper-like seal, which is very strong, even if you pull hard, it may not be able to pull open, so it will not be opened by mistake during the journey, only it may be opened by man." ”

Speaking of which, I understand the meaning of the Lantern Festival, so it seems that there is really something wrong with the Yuan family's team, and someone is deliberately causing trouble for them!

One thing I remembered was, "Who made the glasses carry these gear?" ”

Lantern Xiao looked at me and said, "It's Tian Laosi!" ”

For a while, we couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then the second uncle reminded, "Okay, okay, everyone should know this matter in their hearts, we can't delay here for too long, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Although we are now with the Yuan family's team, it is called cooperation, but in fact, we are basically two teams! ”

"Second Uncle is right!" Lantern Xiao nodded and said, "There are only a few of us left, the people of the Yuan family have passed now, let's go quickly, we still have to be careful what the Yuan family is doing on the other side!" ”

So a few of us began to pass in turn, Lady first must be the norm, Anado climbed up first, and then the second uncle.

Although Anado is a woman, judging from her performance along the way, climbing is what she is good at, and the chains in front of her certainly can't stop her. The two of them quickly disappeared into the mist.

After the second uncle is the Lantern Festival, he said that my physical strength is not good, let me walk between him and Wenmo, so that even if there is any problem, the two of them can save me by attacking on both sides! When he said this, I didn't have face, even though there were only three of us present, I wanted to insist on going first, but Lantern Xiao couldn't help but say something, so I climbed up.

I had no choice but to follow the back of the Lantern Festival, Wenmo pressed the formation behind this is the most suitable, in fact, not only is it the most suitable, it should be said that others can't do it.

The people who set off in front need more or less help from the people behind, such as helping to tie up the rope or something, and the last person can only rely on himself, probably only Wenmo is the most reassuring. I suddenly felt that Wenmo was a little lacking in love, and his strong ability had become a blind spot for everyone's attention.

I looked at Wenmo and asked two nonsense words, "Wenmo, can you do it yourself?" Do you need my help? "To be honest, I felt embarrassed to ask these two questions.

However, Wen Mo seemed to be nervous about this aspect, and waved his hand at me, "It's okay, you go first!" ”

I nodded, and I seemed to feel a little more at ease, and I suddenly felt that human nature is so hypocritical, sometimes we say something to someone, do something, not really for the sake of the other person, maybe just to give ourselves a reason to be at ease.

I looked at the diffuse fog, and the figure of Lantern Xiao that had begun to gradually hide in the mist, I regretted that I followed Lantern Xiao, every time he moved his heavy body, it would make the iron chain hanging in the air shake even more!

However, the arrow had to be fired, so I took a deep breath and climbed upside down. In the beginning, I hooked my feet on the chains and pulled the chains alternately with my hands to move my body forward. The ropes between my hands and feet only served as an insurance policy, and I naively thought that I might not really need them.

Due to the large span of the iron chain, the whole of it connects the two sides of the river valley, showing a kind of arc-shaped state.

For the first part of the journey, I was completely downhill, and it was fairly easy. My mind can't help but think of the situation that Lantern Xiao said just now, if someone really deliberately opened the sealed bag and pushed the glasses into the river, then who would this person be?

The equipment was handed over to the glasses by Tian Laosi, could it be him? I don't think it's very likely, Tian Laosi has followed Yuan An for many years and has always been loyal, although sometimes he has a violent temper and will have excessive words and deeds towards his subordinates, but on the whole he is quite righteous. But who else could it be?

But what is the purpose of destroying their communication equipment? Suddenly I remembered the three people who died tragically last night.

It is precisely because of the lack of communication equipment that people who go out every time they go out are isolated. I think if last night, the communication equipment was available, and after the first guy went out in distress, the camp would have received a distress signal, so that we would have been prepared, and maybe the other two guys would not have been in trouble. Killed by rolling the earth.

Suddenly, a thought ran chills down my back in my mind, was there a possibility that there was human involvement in last night's tragedy, in other words, could it be murder!

My mind was a little messy for a moment, but at that moment the chain shook and I quickly retracted my thoughts and crawled forward along the chain intently.

As I progressed, I got closer and closer to the river, and when I was about to reach the middle of the trip, although the fog around me was still very thick, I could still faintly see the rushing river below, and we were only about a dozen meters apart.

At the same time, my stamina was about to reach its first tipping point, my legs were already sore, and I couldn't hold on to the chains. I now realize the importance of the rope that is tied between my ankles to keep my legs on chains for balance and effort.

And the situation of my hands is about the same, I think in my heart, now the whole trip is close to half, and the remaining half can hold on anyway! I thought so in my heart, and subconsciously let go, in fact, I wanted to re-grasp the rope on my wrist, but I underestimated my own gravity, and the rope in my hand was not tightly tied.

The moment I let go, the end of the rope came off, and then I felt a burning pain in my right wrist, and I saw that the rope was completely loose on my right wrist. The force that had hung my upper body on the chain was gone, and I wanted to reach out and grab it, but it was a little too late, and my upper body fell down all at once.

Fortunately, the ropes on my feet were strong enough, and I was immediately hung headfirst on the chain. Although it was considered a thrill, the moment of weightlessness just now still made my heart flutter.

I just swung in the air, with the wind and with the swaying of the chains, and kept shaking. In fact, this feeling is still amazing, head down, a large amount of blood rushing to the head, making me feel dizzy.

I raised my head vigorously and watched the river flow above my head, and the fog around me also moved with the air carried by the river, if it weren't for the fact that my face was already red, this feeling was quite enjoyable.

Just as I was about to turn over again, I shook my head and suddenly saw a strange movement on the surface of the river below, I stopped and looked down hard, and I saw a huge back exposed to the water, and before I could see what it was, the thing sank again.

I froze for a moment, and for a moment I felt cold all over my body, and my body was a little stiff, I don't know if it was because of this, so I didn't even turn it back on after trying twice in a row.

I looked at the river below me again, and by this time the scene had long since disappeared. Through the hazy mist, I vaguely saw a round thing slowly emerging in the middle of the river, at first, I thought it was an eye, this guess made my scalp tingle for a while, but gradually this "eye" began to expand, and I saw clearly that there was a large whirlpool in the river below me.

Below me, a whirlpool swirled rapidly, and the river in the middle was deeply dented, as if something was about to rush out of it.

Just when I was half scared to death, I suddenly heard someone calling me from above, I turned my head to look, and I found that I don't know when Wenmo behind me caught up. He had untied the rope from his hand and reached out his arm, "Come, grab me, I'll pull you up!" ”

I flipped up as hard as I could, bent up hard, and grabbed Wenmo's hand. Wenmo pulled me up and put me back on the chain.

With Wenmo's help, I re-tied the rope on my hand. After stabilizing my body, I immediately turned my head to look down, the whirlpool on the river was still faintly still at this time, and I asked Wenmo: "Look below, what is that?" ”

Wen Mo looked down with a solemn face, and shook his head after being silent for a while.

When I was hesitating whether I should move on, Wen Mo suddenly said lightly, "The iron chain set up here may not be used to cross the river at all!" ”

After listening to Wenmo's words, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then I suddenly had a feeling like I had been struck by lightning, and at the same time, a marine show that I had seen before appeared in my mind, and the shark keeper put a piece of bloody meat on the float. The float slowly floats to the center of the shark pond. Suddenly, the shark leaps out of the water, bites the piece of meat, and sinks back into the water.

At this moment, I suddenly thought, could I be the piece of meat? At this time, I can't verify it, and I don't want to verify it. I didn't dare to slack off on the chains, and I did my best to move forward at full speed. As I crawled, I was worried that something would suddenly rush out of the river below.

Fortunately, however, my worries were unnecessary, and as I ascended, the river was now hidden in the fog again, and I did not know if the whirlpool was still there, and to my relief, there was no danger.

After walking a distance further, I vaguely saw a black thing hanging on the chain in front of me, I took a closer look, it turned out to be the Lantern Festival, at this time he was hanging there, panting heavily, looking tired enough.
