Chapter 56: The Golden Mask and the Giant Shadow
In the falling, the sound of the wind whistling poured into his ears, and Ji Ge's eardrums felt a tingling sensation, and his eyes were also scratched a little unable to open, but the tip of his tongue was jerky with the leaf, and a strong bitter taste that made his mouth numb made his head quite clear.
Ji Ge felt that his body was as light as a feather, falling into the clouds, firmly grasping the iron cable, his body shook violently involuntarily, and an irrepressible sense of fear instinctively rose in his heart.
His legs were trembling constantly, his breathing was short, his face was a little pale, and the feeling of being half-hung in the sky and not touching the ground made him feel very empty, so his hand grasped it tighter and tighter.
There was a feeling of dampness and rust on his hands, as if it might break at any time, but fortunately, it was still strong, Ji Ge took a deep breath, struggled to overcome the fear in his heart, and let his body fall slowly, and when his legs were kicking the mountain wall, he felt whether there was any soil.
The wall surface of the cliff is not smooth, but there are many steep and rugged convex stone edges and corners, which are extremely sharp in the rain and wind, and Ji Ge was accidentally opened a long opening, and soon blood seeped out.
Ji Ge gritted his teeth, his eyes were firm, since he was already in such a dangerous situation, it was only in vain to be afraid, and he would only speed up his fall into a situation from which he could not recover.
He carefully controlled the speed of his descent, stomping on his feet as he opened a gap in the fierce wind like a knife, squinting his eyes in search of the soil.
It wasn't until the end of the rope that Ji Ge found damp soil on a flat rock, with moss growing on it, and he was overjoyed, and stretched out his left hand to grab it directly.
Suddenly, the iron rope shook violently, which caught Ji Ge off guard, and quickly retracted that hand to grab the iron cable, and almost fell down on an unstable footing, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, blown by the cold wind, and the cold was even more biting.
Ji Ge's teeth were fighting, his face turned purple, he thought carefully for a while, estimated the distance, the place where the soil was located was about half a zhang above his left, and he couldn't reach it with his hands, and suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
Looking down at the bottomless abyss, shrouded in miasma all year round, he took a deep breath, first clenched the rusty pungent iron rope with his teeth, and tried to free a hand again.
This time, although the iron rope shook a little, it was not violent, and the two eyes stared at the shaking, Ji Ge felt slightly relieved, and the hand groped for a moment in his chest, and slowly pulled out the dagger that he had decided to never leave from his body at a certain moment.
The dagger that his father had left him looked rusty, almost rotten, and had no lethality to speak of, but Ji Ge knew that if he underestimated it, he would die under it.
I don't know what material this dagger is made of, like iron, but iron is never so sharp, even if it is rusty, it can easily pierce someone's neck.
"Dad, it's up to you again this time!"
Ji Ge held the dagger, his lips pursed tightly, silently adjusting his posture carefully, his feet supporting his body, almost in a straight line. He let go of all distractions, his knees bent slightly, allowing his body to get closer to the mossy dirt.
The muscles all over his body were tense at this moment, his muscles were bulging, his face was slightly shaking because of excessive force, his eyes were resolute, his arms were raised back, and then he slammed into the cliff!
"Laha ......"
A cluster of sparks slashed from the blade, and it was quickly swept away by the wind, and under the explosion of Ji Ge's whole body strength, the dagger almost had no roots, and it seemed that it was not a stone but a ball of cotton wool.
Ji Ge was happy in his heart, and the dagger really didn't disappoint him. With the strength of the dagger, the pressure on Ji Ge's body was relieved a lot, his feet slowly moved his position, found a prominent stone ridge to step on, rested for a while, then pulled out the dagger, and inserted it into the closer cliff.
In this way, Ji Ge climbed to the bottom of the mountain rock little by little, with difficulty.
Raising his neck, Ji Ge looked at the moss with both eyes, he was already covered with sweat, and before he could grab it, suddenly the sky was dark, and there was a roar like a thunderbolt in his ears!
As soon as this whistling sounded, it overshadowed the whining wind in the sky, echoing in Ji Ge's ears, Ji Ge only felt that the qi and blood were rolling, and there was a sweetness in his throat.
Immediately looking up, in the white expanse, he only saw a huge gray-brown silhouette hovering overhead, seeming to ...... It's a giant bird, and that's what it makes this howl. The gray shadow fluttered violently, and suddenly a strange wind rolled up, blowing away the miasma here as if it had vented, and at the same time revealing its form.
It was a giant goose-like bird covered in grayish-brown feathers, but its blood-red eyes showed its ferocity, and it looked down in the cloudless air, its beak fluttering with two urns, as if looking for something.
Ji Ge came to his senses as he looked at the gray shadow's movements, and crouched on the cliff wall in the sudden wind, closing his eyes tightly, feeling that his soul was about to be blown out of his body. The iron rope in his palm creaked, as if it was about to break, but it never broke, and a scraped stone hit him, causing him to snort a few times.
And on the cliff, there was a stone platform, and the young slaves who were about to turn over with iron ropes were swept down by the howling wind, babbling and screaming.
The giant goose scanned down with blood-colored eyes in the air, and saw a small black dot lying on the mountain wall, which flashed fiercely, as if locked, and swooped down with the momentum of wind and thunder.
Ji Ge closed his eyes and his ears were buzzing, but he could still feel that the giant bird seemed to be coming towards him, and for the reason, he touched the scabbed opening, and his heart was slightly cold.
"Bold, flat-haired brute! Passing by here, you dare to be fierce and look for death!"
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound on the cliff, and the female teacher was full of anger and said in a cold voice.
She fell like a meteor, her body bursting into the air with a blinding golden light, and an illusory shadow leaped out of her skull, and her entire face glowed with an almost divine indifferent golden light.
Stretching out a hand, the illusory huge shadow behind him also moved, and in the terror of the giant goose, he held it in the palm of his hand like a plaything, the giant goose struggled, but it was only in vain, only to provoke the female teacher to become more and more angry, the sound of broken bones resounded in the sky, and blood dripped from the shadow's hand, floating in the air.
The blood rolled down to the sky, first for a beating, and then like copper water, it made the whole world seem to be raining blood!
This scene is like an infernal purgatory, coupled with the golden shadow on the head of the female teacher who captures the giant goose like a chicken, the scene is extremely shocking.
The female teacher raised her head to the sky and roared, and the entire castle trembled under the shock of the sound waves, and when she shook her body, the dragon-like shadow was unwilling to twist into a puff of smoke and drill into the top of her head, as if all this was an illusion, but her face dispelled everyone's fleeting illusion, just like a brilliant gold, exuding an incomparable awe-inspiring dignity, like a god standing in the clouds.
Her extremely tall and thin body jumped onto the fleshy back of the giant goose, and the giant goose also leaned over obediently as if tamed, and under her control, it stabbed down, and fluttered up, soaring wantonly, like the return of the knight in the ancient legend!
The giant goose flipped over, and took the slaves who danced and fell from the cliff, and the golden eyes of the female teacher flashed violently, but she forcibly suppressed them.
"Hmph, you can't do a little thing, a bunch of rubbish!"
She scanned the cliff coldly, where Ji Ge was hanging, and there was a black figure crawling below.
The giant wild goose swept by, almost rubbing Ji Ge's body, and the rolled wind blade tore the clothes on his body, and he felt that his head was empty, and the mossy mountain rock was broken off by the female teacher and student.
Without a moment's pause, and without any intention of taking Ji Ge up, the giant goose flapped its wings and swept towards another place where there was soil.
"Go up on your own!"
Only the cold words of the female teacher fell on Ji Ge, and ...... There was not a trace of emotion in the ears of the man below.
