308 Monsters under the cliffs
readx;? For the next two days, nothing happened. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info and his party walked in the direction Calby pointed for two days, as if they were on a trip, during which Harry recovered better and better, and was able to start walking. In the past two days, the biggest threat may have been the ubiquitous flying insects, and other than that, no poisonous snakes and beasts have been seen.
But that didn't reassure Ian, the pain of the dragon flame mark on his arm that night no longer alerted him all the time, and this dense forest was definitely not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
And after the fall, the next two days did not see the mark left by the team from six years ago. They seem to have inadvertently stepped out of the circle that plagued the squad six years ago, because for now, they have been walking in a straight line, and it is unlikely that they will go around in circles.
On the fifth day, they came out of the forest and came to a cliff. In front of them, there was another cliff, about six or seven meters apart, and the height was different, and the one they were on was a few meters higher. And below the two cliffs, about ten meters away, is a small river, no, it should be said that a mire is more appropriate.
"How do you come to a dead end while walking?" Ian glanced down the cliff, quickly retracted his head, shook his head, and said, "It's enough to choke if you fall." ”
"Detour?" asked Nicole.
"It's okay to take a detour, but at least it takes an extra day. "We're going to have to walk back for half a day, and if we go straight through here, we'll be out of the jungle for another day." ”
One more day to get out of the jungle?
Colby's words made Ian a little excited, he really had enough of being in it. Staying here is like soaking in warm water, soaking for five whole days, the whole body is sore, and you have to be on guard against the ubiquitous poisonous insects.
So if you pass through here, you can get out of this life by walking for another day, which is still very tempting. So Ian leaned down again, and this time he felt that it didn't seem very dangerous.
"Don't we have a climbing rope? Ian suddenly thought of something, "Use the rope to connect the two cliffs, and you can get over it." ”
"Theoretically, it's not that hard. ”
It was Dennis who said this, he was half-crouched on the edge of the cliff early in the morning, and after listening to Ian's words, he quickly simulated the plan in his mind, and then felt that it was okay.
"The two cliffs are not very far apart, and a rope is enough. "It's a bit hard to hold the end of the rope to the cliff on the other side. ”
Hearing Dennis's words, Aris stood up and said in a muffled voice, "What's so difficult about this, just leave it to me." ”
The group turned their eyes to him, and saw him remove the rope from his backpack and tie one end of the rope to his dagger. Then he walked to the side of the cliff, weighed the dagger a few times, and then quickly threw it, only to see that the dagger was connected to the climbing rope, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air, and finally the dagger fell on the branch of a big tree on the opposite cliff. Because of inertia, the dagger with a rope was wrapped around the branch several times.
Ian was stunned by Arris's skill, is that okay?
Aris pulled the rope back, and after making sure it was secured, he took more than ten steps back and fixed the other end of the rope to the big tree on this side. In this way, the rope connecting the two cliffs is completed.
"You're amazing. Ian gave Aris a thumbs up.
Aris held the back of his head and smiled innocently, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth. After a few days, their team got along more and more harmoniously, and even Dennis temporarily put aside the bond between the hunter and the law enforcement team. Ian is also beginning to understand why Karan has made a few of them team up, because the few of them can be said to be completely complementary, and everyone can step up at a critical moment.
"What's next, just crawl over there?" asked Nicole.
"The rope is already there, and it's up to you to pass it in any way. Ian spread his hands, "Who's going first?"
"I'll do it. ”
Dennis was the first to climb the rope, and like a monkey, he leaned on his hands and slowly moved towards the cliff on the other side. It only took him two or three minutes to reach the cliff opposite, and that's when Ian threw his backpack over.
"It's fun, I'm the second. ”
Excited to step forward, Green tossed his backpack over, and then jumped on the rope as well. He used the same method as Dennis, using only two hands to exert force, but it did not have the beauty of Dennis, it was like a flexible ball of meat, and it only took two or three minutes to get there.
The next person was a bit of a headache for Ian, who didn't know what the strength of the two women, Quintina and Nicole, as well as Colby and Harry. One is old with gray hair, and the other is recovering from a serious illness.
Nicole obviously saw what Ian was thinking, and the third stood up and said lightly, "Don't underestimate me." ”
Then, she threw her rucksack over and climbed onto her body. She didn't do the same way as Dennis and Green, her limbs were on top of the rope, and her speed wasn't slow. And her movements were obviously more graceful than those of the previous two, and the breeze from the mountain stream gently blew her short hair, and her beautiful figure was reflected in everyone's eyes.
Ian looked at it, twice, three times, and then didn't look too embarrassed to continue.
In the end, it took Nicole less than five minutes to get to the other side.
Nicole's movements are a good inspiration for the rest, especially Colby and Harry. The two of them also learned Nicole's method and got on the rope, I have to say that compared to Dennis and Green, Nicole's method is undoubtedly not safer and less labor, but the movements of the two are still much slower than them, and it took almost twenty minutes in the end.
But the biggest trouble passed, and Ian was relieved. There are only Aris and Quintina left, not to mention Aris, as a member of the law enforcement team, Quintina's physical strength is definitely not much worse.
So Ian threw his things over, got on the rope first, and then turned to the two of them and said, "I'll go first, and you can go on." ”
Aris and Quintina both nodded, and Ian couldn't wait to try what it was like to "fly" in the air, so he didn't notice that Quintina's face was a little pale.
After getting on the rope, Ian also used the same method as Dennis and Green, using only two hands. Then he realized that it wasn't as easy as it seemed, but he could handle it. When he reached the very middle, Ian glanced down, and from his point of view, the two cliffs looked like the mouths of a fierce beast, and the angular stones were like sharp teeth, as if they were about to swallow Ian in one gulp.
Ian shook his head, shaking the strange thoughts out of his head. He focused on the rope again, but when he looked away, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and he just seemed to see that something seemed to be in the swamp below, squirming slightly.
He thought he was dazzled and didn't care. Then he jumped to the cliff on the other side and made peace with the others.
"Hey, you can come here. Ian beckoned to Aris and Quintina, who had not yet moved.
Aris patted Quintina's shoulder, "Go ahead, it's okay." ”
Quintina stood still. As Quintina's partner, how could Aris not know that Quintina is a little afraid of heights. But he didn't think about it at first, and he didn't remember it until Dennis reached the opposite cliff, but it was too late, and he couldn't let Dennis come back.
"Go ahead, just don't look down. Aris comforted again, "If you can't catch it, just stop in mid-air, and I'll save you." ”
Listening to Aris's words, Quintina took a deep breath, gave him a blank look, and muttered, "Get out of here, I don't want you to save me." ”
Aris touched the back of his head again and smiled silly. After sitting on Quintina's partner for so many years, how could he not understand Quintina's strong temperament.
Quintina got on the rope and learned Nicole's method, and her limbs were firmly on top of the rope.
"Don't look down. Aris reminded Quintina.
Quintina glanced at Arris, the big man was still smiling at herself stupidly, and the tension in her heart suddenly disappeared a lot. After one last glance at Arris, she closed her eyes and moved down little by little.
"Quintina seems to be afraid of heights. Nicole looked at Quintina and muttered, "Don't even dare to open your eyes." ”
"It's okay if you don't open your eyes, just come here. Ian looked at Quintina, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, "Even if you fall, there will be no problem with the mud below." ”
Nicole turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with you." ”
Ian shook his head, and was about to speak when a terrifying roar erupted. At this moment, everyone's faces changed, Ian lowered his head suddenly, and saw the quagmire under the cliff, which suddenly exploded with a "bang", and a huge black shadow came out of the mire.
At that moment, the dragon flame mark on Ian's arm burned again.
"Quintina, go!" Ian yelled at Quintina.
Quintina's eyes opened in fright, and she looked down to meet a pair of dazzling golden eyes. And the owner of the golden pupil was scurrying out of the mire, opening his huge mouth, revealing a mouthful of dirty fangs.
At this moment, Quintina fell into a complete stupor. I watched the huge monster pounce on me. And because of nervousness, the limbs that climbed the rope gradually lost strength.
At this moment, she was hugged tightly. She subconsciously looked up and saw a familiar smiling face.
"I said, stay in the air and I'll save you. ”
Aris didn't give Quintina time to react, grabbed the rope with one hand, held Quintina with the other, and then threw Quintina hard at Ian's side with a loud shout.
Quintina didn't know whose arms she had fallen into, or why her calf hurt so much. The only thing she knew was that Arris, after giving her one last silly smile to herself, was swallowed by the monster that came up to her.
"Dennis!"
"Here. ”
Ian threw Quintina to Dennis, pulled out the guard in an instant, and jumped off the cliff with the monster without hesitation.
