The rope was about two and a half bundles down, and suddenly the speed began to slow down significantly, as if the speed of falling into the abyss was getting slower and slower.

When Bai Wei saw it, she immediately exclaimed: "It must be that I realized that I was about to touch the bottom of the cave, so I managed to slow down the speed of the fall, everyone help!" ”

After saying this, I saw that Bai Wei was the first to take off her coat, wrapped it in her hand and tightly grasped the falling rope, thus trying to drag the rope into the abyss more slowly

Everyone was excited, but Ma Hong and Bai Wei were not idle, but hurriedly relied on the number of ropes falling to start calculating the depth of the bottomless abyss, and I quickly tied the remaining rope in my hand with the rope nailed to the wall peg.

The two of them calculated for half an hour, and in this half an hour, there was no movement in the abyss, although everyone firmly believed that Yuan had landed safely, but they still couldn't help but sweat for him, for fear that he had fallen to his death, or encountered something else

In desperation, everyone could only continue to wait above, hoping to get some signals or news from below, and waited for another hour, but there was still no movement.

Everyone became more and more panicked, and even Bai Wei was anxious and wanted to go down the rope to see the situation first, but fortunately Ma Hong and I stopped it in time.

And not long after, a slight vibration from the rope immediately aroused our thoughts, Bai Wei, who was sitting by the rope in a hurry, saw the rope suddenly tremble, and immediately stood up in a panic: "Have you seen it?" The rope moves! It's moving! ”

The trembling of the rope naturally did not escape everyone's eyes, but for a while they did not know what signal the rope tremor was trying to convey, and at this moment, the rope suddenly trembled twice, and the frequency gradually became faster and faster, as if anxiously telling us something

After a period of silence, Bai Wei finally frowned, raised her hand and grabbed the rope, and said to us, "Quick! Pull the rope up! ”

"Drag it up?"

"That's right! Now there is no other way but to drag, drag! Drag! ”

Bai Wei's words, Ma Hong and I were not ambiguous, so the three of them pulled the rope together, and began to pull the rope up desperately, at first, I felt that the rope that was dragged up was light and fluttering, and continued to pull, the rope began to sink, and it was getting heavier and heavier, and when we dragged the rope up twenty or thirty meters, it had begun to be ridiculously heavy, as if there was a huge heavy object dragged underneath

Although it was obvious that it was starting to struggle, but where did the three of us dare to let go, so we gritted our teeth and continued to drag up, this drag was dragged up dozens of meters, seeing that the rope pulled up was gathering more and more behind us, my back hurt, and my hands were dragged like pins and needles because of the rope, and the palms of the two hands were already heavy, and then I looked at Bai Wei and Ma Hong, the two girls, their own strength was not as big as mine, and they were both thin skin and tender meat, at this time they were already trembling all over and couldn't stand on their feet, but still no one let go of their hands

The three of us were panting and desperately pulling up, dragging and dragging, and suddenly we heard a 'smack', and Bai Wei was about to fall down as soon as she was exhausted, and as soon as she lost her balance, the weight of the rope undoubtedly fell on me and Ma Hong, and suddenly the force of the drag below increased, and Ma Hong and I shook our bodies in an instant, and we slid towards the bottomless abyss

"Not good!"

I screamed, seeing that I was about to plant the abyss but still refused to let go of the rope, and in an instant I was about to pounce on it as soon as it was dark, but I didn't wait for the whole body to fall into the darkness completely, but I saw that almost at the same time, a white shadow had grazed the abyss cave wall and flew up, and at the same time I fell headlong, he had already grabbed the rock wall with both hands and jumped up, and then suddenly turned around and reached out to grab me, while grabbing my trouser belt with one hand, the other hand had also been quickly wound three times on the rope that had slipped into the abyss, and then retreated and dragged it back fiercely, Finally dragged me back to shore and fell to the ground

Before I could react, I heard a loud shout that resounded through the cave—

"Quick! Keep dragging! ”

Hearing this, Bai Wei and Ma Hong hurriedly grabbed the rope again, and I also got up and wrapped the rope directly around my waist, finally stopping the rope from continuing to slide, and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, I looked up and took a closer look, but saw that it was no one else who was standing on the edge of the cliff and directing everyone to continue dragging the rope, it was the white dragon, but at this time, where did the white dragon still have the appearance of the white clothes that had always been in the snow, the snow-white clothes on his body were full of mud and wet, his face was dirty, and there were a few abrasions.

"Brother!"

As soon as he recognized the white dragon, Bai Wei exclaimed, but the white dragon ignored it, still shouting nervously: "Don't let go, drag quickly!" It's almost a success! Drag! ”

Everyone didn't dare to be ambiguous, so they cooperated with the white dragon to continue to pull the rope up, and because of the white dragon's help, it seemed a lot easier for a while.

A piece of rope was dragged up quickly, and soon a large mass was piled up behind it, and at this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from the bottomless abyss, and became clearer and clearer

Bai Wei couldn't help but be shocked, but Bai Long said urgently: "Don't worry about that, keep dragging!" Fast! ”

So everyone began to drag again with the rustling sound that became clearer and clearer, who expected to drag for a while, a low roar like a roar suddenly began to come from the abyss again, hearing the sound of my heart 'pop', carefully recalled, the sound was the same as the first time we went down to the underground palace, but now it sounds more cautious and clear than then

And not long after, clouds of black smoke began to emerge slowly along the abyss, and then gathered more and more in the air, like a huge black wall, pouring towards us, everyone was even more frightened when they saw this, but the white dragon who was independent in the front still did not change his face, and roared: "Keep dragging, don't worry about this!" Rest assured, this smoke is not poisonous, and it will not kill people."

With the words of the white dragon, everyone was finally relieved, so regardless of the black smoke that shrouded them, they continued to pull the rope upward, and in an instant, the thick black smoke whistled in, and soon engulfed the figures of several of us, and even the light of the miner's lamp and kerosene lamp that was thrown aside to illuminate was completely swallowed, and there was no light in sight

In the darkness, the strange roar became more and more obvious, and even the ground beneath our feet began to tremble slightly, and at this moment, the voice of the white dragon came out of the darkness again-

"Remember, don't do anything, just keep pulling the rope and we're going to succeed!"

Even if Bai Long didn't say anything, Bai Wei, Ma Hong and the three of us didn't dare to relax for a moment, so they dragged it in the thick black smoke for more than ten minutes, and the strange sound of sand from the abyss had gradually floated in front of our eyes

We didn't dare to slack off, and continued to drag, but dragging and dragging, my red, swollen and stinging palms of hands, there was a sudden cold cold, and in an instant it went straight into the flesh and bones along the skin, refreshing my heart, so that I couldn't help but slam a cold shiver, and at this time, I felt carefully, no, although I couldn't see anything under the black smoke, but I could clearly feel that now what I was dragging in my hand was no longer a fluffy hemp rope, but more like a cold chain

I didn't care so much, anyway, I continued to drag and drag, and I saw that the black smoke around me began to gradually fade and thin, and the light on the side penetrated the mist and shot in, I looked down by the light, and sure enough, what was dragging in my hand was indeed a black, wet chain, and it was already rusty

It dawned on me that the sound of the rattling that kept coming from the abyss was not the sound of the chains rubbing as they swayed, but where did the chains come from?

The rope was about two and a half bundles down, and suddenly the speed began to slow down significantly, as if the speed of falling into the abyss was getting slower and slower.

When Bai Wei saw it, she immediately exclaimed: "It must be that I realized that I was about to touch the bottom of the cave, so I managed to slow down the speed of the fall, everyone help!" ”
