Chapter 369 is full of dangers
Seeing Shangguan Xiu jumping off the sinkhole, Ning Nanjun's general's face changed suddenly, and he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Lord Shangguan......" He rushed forward, and tried to hold Shangguan Xiu again, but it was too late, all he caught was a cloud of air. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Looking at the black rumbling and bottomless sinkhole, he had a complicated expression, stood on the edge of the sinkhole for a long time, couldn't help but sigh, and shook his head helplessly.
To be precise, he is not a pure Ningnan person, but a person who switched to Ningnan from the Wind Country.
The aristocratic hierarchical uniforms of the Wind Country are too strict, and they get ahead and add officials to knighthood, not looking at the strength of their personal ability, only looking at the level of their origin, if they are not nobles, they have no titles, whether they are in the officialdom or in the army, they have no future at all.
It is precisely because of this that a large number of talents from the country of wind transfer to Ningnan every year, and it is precisely because of the continuous flow of talents from the country of wind that the national strength of Ningnan has increased rapidly, constantly expanding its territory outward, annexing foreign races, and laying down a vast territory for hundreds of years.
Talents are used, this is the Feng Guo system in the Tang Yin period, when Tang Yin was able to lead the Feng Country to dominate the world and replace the Haotian Empire, it was this system that was adopted.
Later, Tang Yin retired, and the aristocratic system adopted during the Haotian Empire rose rapidly in the Fengguo, replacing the meritocracy system in the Tang Yin period, and the meritocracy system was inherited by Ningnan in its entirety.
It's funny to say, Ning Nan has always regarded himself as the orthodox heir of the Haotian Empire, but the system they adopted was the uniform of the Lao Feng Kingdom period. And after the old wind country became the wind empire, it continued the aristocratic system of the Haotian Empire.
Seeing that Shangguan Xiu would rather die than surrender, and would rather jump into the sinkhole and commit suicide than be a prisoner of Ningnan and not defect to Ningnan, the complicated feelings of this Ningnan army general can be understood, he is regretful, heartache, and feels worthless for Shangguan Xiu.
In his opinion, whether it is the court of the Wind Country ruling Ningnan, or the court of Ningnan ruling the country of Feng, in fact, there is no difference, the two countries are the same language, the same species, the same ancestor, whether the Ningnan people are the emperor, or the Fengren are the emperor, in fact, they are all the same.
It's a pity that the two sides are on a hostile position, and he didn't have the opportunity to talk to Shangguan Xiu in detail, nor did he have the opportunity to tell Shangguan Xiu his ideas.
Let's talk about Shangguan Xiu, after he jumped into the sinkhole, his body fell sharply, at first, he could still see the light, but soon, it was replaced by darkness in front of him. His mind blurred, and his eyes slowly closed.
Is it true that he died like this? Isn't the revenge of the defeat in Ningnan not avenged? Is the revenge of the brothers of the Zhenjun Army not avenged? The revenge of the brothers of the Ningjun Army is not avenged? Haven't the hundreds of thousands of heroes of the Wind Country buried their bones in Ningnan avenged?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiu had already closed his eyes and opened them suddenly, he was unwilling, he was unwilling to be defeated like this, and he was unwilling to let the enmity of so many brothers go down the drain. He gritted his teeth secretly, and with a wave of his hand, a silver thread was thrown downward.
This silver line extended at least more than ten meters long, and when he fell rapidly, the silver line extended straight down, and I don't know how long it took, so long that Shangguan Xiu felt like he was jumping into hell, he suddenly felt that there was resistance coming from the silver line extending downward, and he knew that it was the silver line touching the ground.
His mind moved with his heart, and the aura was injected into the invisible, and the informability turned into a vest on him, and at the same time, more than twenty silver threads extended out from his back in all directions, and the silver threads pierced deeply into the stone of the cave wall.
Shangguan Xiu's figure continued to fall, when he felt that his cheeks were about to touch the ground, his hair had been in contact with the ground, and by the pull of the more than twenty silver threads, his rapidly falling figure rebounded upward.
His body bounced up and down at the bottom of the sinkhole, and bounced and fell again, back and forth for several rounds, finally removing the inertia of the fall, and then he retracted the silver wire that had been cast.
As the silver thread recovered, his body quickly fell to the ground in the air with a soft snapping sound.
Shangguan Xiu was lying on the ground, there was no light here, and he couldn't see his five fingers, he could only feel that the ground was full of uneven stones, and the cold was pressing, and it was very damp.
He lay on the ground for a while, turned over, and looked up, but could not see the hole in the sinkhole, nor the slightest light.
He lay on the ground exhausted, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, although he didn't fall to his death, he was going to be trapped and died in this dark and unrelated sinkhole.
He lay down for a while, and suddenly felt an itch in his arm, as if something was crawling. He subconsciously shook his head and hurriedly turned over and sat up.
At the moment when he sat up, there was a sudden light at the bottom of the pit, although it was very faint, but there was light after all. Shangguan Xiu fixed his eyes and saw that it was a night pearl the size of a quail egg rolling to the ground and falling out of him.
He suddenly remembered that when he helped more than a dozen Ningjun soldiers kill more than fifty cavalry of the Ningnan Army, he had captured this night pearl.
He hurriedly bent down to pick up the Night Pearl and looked around, and soon, he found a large fluffy centipede not far away.
This large centipede is almost half a meter long, black and shiny, and the reason why it is said to be fluffy is that it has too many claws and looks like hair. Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, stretched his arm forward, invisibly flowed into his palm, turning into a Mo knife, he stabbed down, pierced the centipede's back, picked it up, came to his eyes and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. Now he is hungry, and this big centipede is a good meal in his eyes, but it is not clear whether it is poisonous or not.
After thinking about it, he still shook off the centipede stuck in the Mo knife and cut it into several pieces, and then he held the night pearl high and looked around.
The bottom of the pit is round, not big, and the mouth of the sinkhole is tens of meters wide, but here, at best, it is only ten meters wide.
To Shangguan Xiu's surprise, there was a hole on the side of the bottom of the pit, which was very narrow, and it was dark inside, and I don't know how deep it was. He pondered for a moment, turned the Mo knife into a crutch, and walked inside step by step.
If you want to get out, it is completely impossible to climb out of the mouth of the sinkhole, because the sinkhole is too deep, so deep that it is full of dangers in Chapter 369 of the pit
At the bottom, there is no pit mouth tens of meters wide, and Shangguan Xiu can only find another way out now. This narrow hole is the only way out.
Now he still has a glimmer of hope in his heart, this place is located between Ning County and Feng County, and it is a place where medicine farmers and hunters from the two counties often come to collect medicine and hunt, maybe there are also medicine farmers and hunters who have come to this sinkhole before, and walked out through another exit.
But what he couldn't have imagined was that this valley was a forbidden place, a place that the medicine farmers and hunters of the two counties of Fengning would never enter under any circumstances, let alone this sinkhole located in the middle of the valley.
Shangguan Xiu walked into the cave, at first, he could walk inside normally, but the more he went inside, the narrower the cave became, and in the end, he could only turn sideways and squeeze inside.
His body had already been broken open, and now he was squeezed by the cave, and the pain was even more unbearable, and he couldn't help but snort.
It was here that he suddenly heard a soft snapping sound from the inside of the cave, and his heart moved, and he hurriedly lifted the night pearl in his hand and shone it inside, and asked at the same time, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone inside?"
There was no sound in the depths of the cave, only the echo of his loud questioning lingered for a long time. Shangguan Xiu gritted his teeth and tried his best to get out of this narrow cave, and then walked forward, and the cave gradually widened again.
Shangguan Xiu sped up, limped forward quickly, and asked at the same time, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone here?" In fact, he didn't think that there would really be anyone here, and the reason why he kept asking questions was just to embolden himself.
Jumping into such a deep sinkhole, and walking into such a deep cave, Shangguan Xiu wondered if he had walked into hell, it was so quiet that there was no sound at all, and as far as the eye could see, there was endless darkness, if he didn't make a sound himself, he felt that he would go crazy.
Fortunately, the cave is getting wider and drier, and the ground is much easier to walk. Shangguan Xiu walked and stopped, resting and walking, I don't know how long it took, maybe a quarter of an hour or two, or maybe an hour or two, he finally walked out of this cave.
But the moment he walked out of the cave, he suddenly realized that it was not good, and hurriedly retracted the steps he had taken. He held his hand on the wall of the cave, slowly squatted down, and shone the night pearl in his hand towards the entrance of the cave.
Looking down at the outside of the cave, it was pitch black, there was no ground at all, Shangguan Xiu felt a stone on the ground and threw it outside the cave, there was no echo, it turned out that outside the cave was a bottomless abyss.
He broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately he didn't step out of that foot, otherwise he didn't know where he would have fallen. The sinkhole he was in now was deep enough, and if he fell any further, he might really fall into the eighteenth layer of hell.
What the hell is this place, it's terrifying. Shangguan Xiu grinned secretly, he held the Night Pearl, leaned out from the entrance of the cave, and desperately shone out of the entrance, trying to find a way, but unfortunately the light of the Night Pearl was too limited, and it was not far away, all he could see was darkness.
Just as he was feeling hopeless, all of a sudden, he noticed a chain on one side of the cave, which stretched outwards into the darkness ahead. Seeing this chain made Shangguan Xiu's heart beat so much that it almost jumped out of his throat.
The existence of chains cannot be naturally formed, it can only be artificially created, at this moment, to see a man-made thing, Shangguan Xiu was so ecstatic that his tears almost burst out of his eyes.
He took several deep breaths in quick succession to calm down his excitement, then reached out and tugged on the chain hard.
It was sturdy, and although it was not known where the other end of the chain was connected, it was certain that the chain was fastened so firmly that it would not be a problem to bear the weight of at least one of his own.
