Chapter 47: Rock Climbing in the Deep Valley
After seeing Coren and them leave, Luther, Jack, and Turks, the three of them stood silently.
For a long time, Luthor deliberately stroked his index finger and thumb along his figure-of-eight beard, and coughed twice, trying to break the awkward atmosphere caused by this strange combination.
Turks pulled up his blonde hair, straightened what Coren had left behind, and gave Jack a rope, a torch for each of them, and a dagger for each.
"I'll go first, and you'll follow me. Since we only had three ropes, which was not long enough for us to go down together, we had to pick up the ropes and climb down the ropes." Tex said as he bit the dagger in his mouth and tied the rope.
Luthor put the dagger on his belt, nodded in agreement, and said, "My Highness can also help you light it up, and the torch in Jack's hand should still burn for a while." After saying that, he looked at Jack.
Jack didn't raise his head and said: "Well, yes, your palace, it's the same with or without light anyway, and the black hole below can illuminate how far it can illuminate." Luthor was embarrassed to say nothing.
"Alright Jack, stop bickering. Time is pressing, so let's go down first. Do you see this rope is sturdy?" Turks could not do anything about the natural disagreement between the two men, and could only say something else to interrupt them. Jack took the rope, found a large stone beside him, tied it firmly to one end of the rope, and then tied the rope at this end around a stalagmite that looked strong, and tied it tightly.
"I'll try to tie it tightly, this stone is twenty kilograms at least, and if you throw it down and fall, you can almost simulate the weight of the three of us. After Jack finished speaking, he couldn't help but admire his wit, he really didn't expect that he could have such a way. This is of course all thanks to his experience in the Garland Sea, which was originally used to measure the depth of the seabed, and is now used to measure deep valleys as well.
"Good way!" Luthor clapped his hands almost without holding back, but before he could finish speaking, he saw the young man Jack looking at him strangely, so he had to withdraw his hand and cough dryly with his mouth covered.
He knows very well that in the current situation, it is Turks and Jack who have the final say, and he can only be regarded as helping, and he has no right to speak, who will let the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.
The waist-thick stone was thrown into the abyss by Jack without hesitation, and the three of them listened intently, and the stones kept colliding and rolling along the rock wall, "Knock knock!" After a while, I saw that this end of the rope suddenly tightened, and the thumb-thick rope bounced up under the huge gravity drag, and the buckle tied to the stalagmite instantly contracted tightly!
"It looks like the rope is still fine. Jack said.
"Bang!" the sound of the stone colliding with the ground echoed throughout the cavern, circling in circles.
The three of them were amazed, and Turks frowned, and put his ears to the edge of the cliff again: "Huh......? Why does it look like the end?
Jack tugged on the rope again, it was still taut, and he could be sure that the stone was still at the other end of the rope.
"Will it ...... The abyss is layered ......," Luthor said, rolling his eyes and turning unsteadily, looking at the two of them. I didn't want to say it, for fear that the idea would be ridiculed.
Turks looked at Luthor intently, and saw that Luthor felt numb in his body, and Luthor couldn't help but shudder, and put his arms in each other's arms.
"Maybe you're right!" said Jack, looking at the jumping flames, "We'd better go down before this torch runs out!"
The three men did not hesitate any longer, each took a torch and stuck it behind him, and began to climb down the rope with the head of the Turks.
Luthor took the torch and lay on the edge of the rock wall, trying his best to shine the light on the two people below, and it was only then that he realized that it was indeed an idiot. Jack: They could see the light above, but they couldn't see the bottom of the cliff.
"Turks, or I'll throw the torch down there!" Luthor shouted downward, sticking his head out.
Jack was carefully climbing along the rock wall, when he heard Luthor's sudden cry that his hand almost slipped off, and he shouted angrily, "Throw it if you want!
Luthor felt very embarrassed, but helpless, he really didn't think about it, so he raised his torch and threw it into the darkness with all his might.
The torch paused briefly in the air, then fell straight down until it touched the ground, and watched from afar, and then lay firmly at the bottom of the dark valley after a broken fire, and only a point of light could be seen.
Turks watched as torches whizzed past him, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to scan as far as his eye could see.
In the light that passed by at a rapid pace, Tex could only see the rock wall he was climbing, everything else was darkness, and when the light passed, he had to reach for the next rock.
After the torch landed, Luthor climbed down the rope, and although he didn't think he was as nimble as he used to be when he was younger, he could still climb the rock.
After a while, the bottom Turks shouted, "I'm here!" and he landed first.
Jack responded, "I'm fast too!" Jack is also relatively strong, holding the rope with his left hand, firmly grasping the rock with his right hand, stepping on his feet steadily, his arms are thick and powerful, and climbing with one hand is also easy for him, and even he is a little faster than the native-grown Turks.
Then, Jack also fell to the ground, and the end of the rope was really just a platform, and it was almost all black in front of them at this time, except for a little light above their heads.
Turks took out his flaming stick in the dark, blew on it, and lit the first torch, which lit up the surroundings. Only then did the two realize that the platform under their feet was more than three meters wide, around the cliff wall, and the outer side was still a bottomless cliff, and on the right hand side not far from the end of the rope, Turks found a cave!
The two of them took counsel, and waited for Luthor to come down.
At this time, Luthor was nervously climbing the last few meters, and Jack couldn't help but exclaim: "Jump down, there is a light for you." ”
This Luthor is the body and bones of a young man, and he doesn't dare to jump easily, but suddenly he thinks, if I don't jump, won't I be looked down upon, and how can I maintain the image of my divine will. So he took a sharp breath, looked at the platform under his feet, jumped and let go of the rope, and landed firmly beside Jack and them. There was a false alarm, no fall.
Luthor got up and let out a long breath, and before he could regain his breath, Tex patted him on the shoulder and said, "Luther, we found a cave, oh, right there", and then pointed to the rock wall more than five meters away.
When Luthor looked at it, it was indeed a cave, but they didn't want to go in and have a look, did they?
