453 Death Mine (Part II)
After about a quarter of an hour, the rope shook three times with regularity. This was their agreed signal, meaning that Manhe had landed safely, so they began to recycle the rope, and soon the basket was back in their hands, during which Ian glanced down, but could not see Manhe's shadow.
"It's going to be fine. "From the second basement floor to the fourth basement floor, it is only a dozen meters at most, and if something happens, we should be able to hear the sound." ”
"I'm not worried about Manhe, after all, he's lived here for so many years. Ian looked at Ivy, who was still unconscious, "But if she wakes up on the way down, it will be a bit of a problem." ”
"It's so unlucky. Green pursed his lips disapprerovingly, "If you don't wake up early or late, you just wake up at this time." We just need to move quickly, isn't that old guy answering down there? ”
Ian thought about it for a moment and felt that what Green said made sense, so he nodded in agreement. Then he carried Ivy into the bamboo basket, fortunately Ivy was petite, and she could barely lie in it. Ian put his clothes over her face and prayed inwardly that she wouldn't wake up at this time.
The bamboo basket was lowered little by little, and Ian kept in front of the gap, staring at the bamboo basket, not daring to blink his eyes. After all, once an accident happens, Ivy in mid-air will not be rescued by anyone.
At first, the thousand-year-old mine seemed to be asleep. The bamboo basket fell little by little against the stone wall, without making a little wave, and the silence around was terrifying. The darkness opened its arms and wanted to embrace the bamboo basket into its arms.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Bowen relieved, "That position, Manhe should also see it, he will pick up Ivy below." ”
Ian nodded. The basket will soon be completely engulfed in darkness, and once it falls out of sight, it is no longer under its control.
However, at this moment, Ian clearly saw that the bamboo basket suddenly moved.
Worst!
Before Ian could speak, some of the clothes covering Ivy were ripped off, and half of Ivy's face was exposed to the edge of darkness. At the same time, a withered hand stretched out from the stone wall and grabbed the edge of the bamboo basket in the air, and Ian saw a miserable white face, struggling out of the stone wall little by little.
"Tighten the rope!"
Ian yelled, didn't have time to think too much, grabbed the climbing rope with one hand, and held the unsheathed guard in the other, and jumped straight down. Fortunately, Green and Bowen reacted quickly enough and pulled the rope in time, so as not to be pulled down together due to the sudden increase in force.
"This guy is getting mad!" Green scolded.
Ian didn't think about whether he was crazy or not. He only knew that the current Ivy didn't have any combat power, and even if she was weak, she could kill her. So he jumped straight down and landed on the bamboo basket in less than a second.
He poked out of the stone wall with a knife in his hand, and before he could touch Ivy, his head was cut off by the guard. At the same time, he grabbed it with his backhand, spared a circle on the climbing rope with his other hand, and stepped on the stone wall with both feet, so that he did not let himself fall.
However, that hand was bled by the rough climbing rope.
"Ian!" Ian heard Manhe's roar, "Are you crazy!"
Before Manhe could finish speaking, another one sprang out of the stone wall and grabbed Ian. Ian lifted up with a kick, directly stomped on the outstretched hand, and was about to kick it again, but when another one sprang out from above, directly strangled his neck.
"What the hell. Ian scolded, "How many are there?"
No one could answer Ian, but Ian had seen it with his eyes. Beside him alone, five or six of them sprang out, mostly dwarves, with small arms and legs dangling around him, and one behind him, pulling him into the stone wall.
If it's on the ground, these aren't tough. However, he was now in mid-air, one hand and both feet were restrained, and he couldn't fight back against these guys. He gritted his teeth, and his left hand had to let go of the climbing rope, and his two feet stepped directly on the edge of the bamboo basket, so as not to let himself fall.
The liberated left hand took the dagger out of his pocket, and after playing a beautiful knife flower in the air, he stabbed it directly into the head of one, and then twisted it so hard that the head of the other one became fragments. At the same time, the guardian did not stop, and the heads of all three were cut off and fell to the ground.
At this time, the bottom one pounced on the bamboo basket, the bamboo basket trembled violently, and Ian, who was standing on the edge of the bamboo basket, was unstable, and before he could grasp the climbing rope, his foot slipped and fell. Fortunately, he grabbed the edge of the bamboo basket in the process of slipping, so that he did not let himself fall directly to the ground.
But in this way, the bamboo basket that was stressed on one side turned over directly, and Ivy rolled out of it.
"Damn it!"
Ian scolded secretly, and immediately threw the guard down, and then caught Ivy and put his arm around her waist to keep her from falling. In this way, Ian grabbed the bamboo basket with one hand and Ivy with the other, completely losing his ability to fight. More came out of the rocks, and danced their teeth and claws at him, but fortunately, they were all some distance from him, and they could not threaten him for the time being.
But before Ian could breathe a sigh of relief, the whole mine trembled. The next moment, the mountain rock above his head was shattered, and a huge figure emerged from the stone wall. The fire on the second floor was directly obscured, and the darkness covered Ian's eyes, so that Ian couldn't see what it was.
"Ian, jump down, jump down!" Manhe below roared, "Jump down." ”
Ian looked down, but saw nothing but darkness. How many meters is there to get to the end? how many meters, more than ten meters, or dozens of meters? Ian didn't know, but at this moment he had no choice, and the monster that suddenly came out of the mountain rock gave Ian a sense of oppression that he hadn't felt for a long time.
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the hand on the edge of the bamboo basket, slowly let go, and fell down.
A few seconds later, he fell to the solid ground, feeling like his internal organs were about to shift. However, at this moment, he couldn't take care of himself, and hurriedly touched to the side, Ivy should be by his side!
Soon, he felt a puddle of warm liquid, and then fell into a stupor.
