Three hundred and fifty-four city walls
Han Daring couldn't stop it, Ye Ling had already landed on both feet, but Mei Ruohong didn't expect Ye Ling to jump off the boulder for herself!
Suddenly, near the stalagmite where Han Da'er was, the soil layer suddenly bulged, and then it rushed towards the place where Ye Ling was standing, and the speed was almost instantaneous!
Han Da'er just called the dantian mixed with vitality, his own internal injuries had not healed, at this time, he forcibly lucked, but he felt that the five were churning inside, plus Ye Ling jumped off the round stone, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but feel weak in his hands and feet, and his body slipped under the stalagmite.
Ye Ling originally wanted to wait for the earthworm to drive the soil layer to rise in front of him, so he jumped up and borrowed his strength on the stalagmite next to him to return to the cobblestone, or learned from Han Dada'er and directly hugged the cobblestone.
But I expected the giant earthworm to come so quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the soil layer was uplifted in front of me. Ye Ling didn't have time to jump up at all, and even if she did, she would be swallowed by the giant mouth of the earthworm, but she didn't think she had the ability to jump in the giant mouth that Han Da'er had just now.
At this moment, Mei Ruohong threw out a backpack with all his might, the backpack was very heavy, and there were a lot of necessary equipment in it, but at this time, he couldn't take care of it, although Mei Ruohong threw it not far, but it had already fallen on the black soil.
Ye Linggang felt that there seemed to be a huge momentum rushing upwards under his feet, and the giant earthworm suddenly wanted to leap into the water, and at a shallow distance of only a layer of soil from the ground, it suddenly turned and pounced in the direction of the backpack landing.
This backpack is very heavy, although it is not as heavy as the human body, but Ye Ling is thin, his body is small, and he has light body kung fu, and it is not very heavy when he lands, so the vibration of the backpack landing is greater than the vibration caused by Ye Ling's fall.
I saw the earthworm break out of the ground, swallow the backpack in one gulp, and then dive into the ground again. Ye Ling also took advantage of the earthworm to break through the earth layer and jumped back into the cobblestone.
After a while, the giant earthworm suddenly protruded from the ground, "pounced", and squirted the backpack out of its mouth, only to see a bitten backpack, sticking a lot of mucus, falling on the black soil, among which the equipment was scattered all over the ground.
Although Han Da'er's hands and feet were a little weak, he saw that he could not miss the opportunity, so he also rushed to the city with all his breath, and jumped onto a raised stone on the city wall, but he did not stop, but continued to think about a round stone next to him to climb, and then climbed diagonally for a while before stopping.
At the moment when he stopped, the giant earthworm chased in the direction he had just run and broke through the earth layer under the city wall, but Han Daring had already moved and climbed diagonally upward, avoiding the blow of the giant earthworm from the map below the ground.
Imagine if it weren't for Han Daring's anticipation of the enemy's opportunity, thinking of the giant earthworm earlier, chasing back to the position where he last ran and climbing, and moving diagonally upwards in advance, I am afraid that even if he climbed the stone of the city wall, he would be swallowed by the earthworm maw that suddenly attacked upward!
Han Daring kept climbing on the white stone city wall, this white city wall was not as neat as the ordinary city wall, there were plaster joints between the masonry and stones, and there was no place to reach out and climb. Except for some powerful snitches back then, who were able to climb from the outer wall to the top of the city with the lost light skill "Scorpion Upside Down Climbing the City", ordinary people may not be able to climb up empty-handed even if they are extraordinary in martial arts.
This white city wall is only made of 10,000 catties of ashlar stones, although it is very neat from a distance, but it is uneven and uneven when viewed closely. This saved Han Daring a lot of effort, he just climbed the edge of the ashlar, jumped upward, and reached the middle of the city wall in a few ups and downs.
At this time, he grabbed the wall with one hand, looked back at Mei Ruohong and the others, and saw that everyone was standing on the cobblestone and looking forward to it. Han Daring climbed for a while, and when he saw that it was not too far from the wall, he untied the steel chain wrapped around his waist to hook the double cherry short knife, and at this time there was a flying claw tied to one end of the steel chain.
He threw it hard at the city, and his claws flew over the city, and the "click" was already stuck on the city. He tugged at the chain a few more times, and felt that it was very secure, so he carried the thick rope that connected the cobblestone on his back, and dragged the steel chain up to the top of the city.
Although this flying claw can help people climb more easily, but the rope that connects the flying claws should not be too thick, and the climbing position should not be too high, otherwise the rope will be thick and heavy, or the position to be gone will be too high, when throwing the flying claw, I am afraid that the hook will not be able to hang at the target, and the steel chain used by Han Da'er is strong and light.
Han Da'er had the power of the flying claw rope, and he was almost at the head of the city in a single leap. At this time, at a glance, he saw that in the distance of the city wall, there was also a rope hanging faintly, not close to his position, presumably it must be used by the group of people who came down in front of him to climb the city wall.
Along the way, in the trapping vine and the stalagmite forest before, I saw three people killed, naturally they were the companions of that group, when I first went down the cave, I saw no less than seven or eight people on the ground, and now there are not only a few people left on the other side, and the other party may have guns in their hands, if the other party has a double-barreled shotgun and fires it together, even if it is me, I am afraid that I will have to die under the gun.
He couldn't help but regret secretly in his heart, why didn't he bring a few heavy weapons with strong firepower, if he had heavy weapons, Shicai wouldn't have to be chased so embarrassed by the big earthworms. With these things in mind, the people have come to the edge of the city.
If someone in the city has already attracted the attention of these people, and the flying claws have been thrown up just now there has been some noise, if someone is ambushed, just cut the rope, then hold the rope and climb up, and fall from the city head when he does not climb.
Han Daring flew up to the head of the city, and the city wall was thick with a battlement. In the distance, a stone staircase leads to the city wall, and further afield, there is a stone forest of white boulders, as seen from the platform.
But this white stone forest is not composed of stone pillars and stalagmites up close, so try to look higher than the illusion of building a city with light and shadow. In fact, a large area of the city, about less than a mile, is full of uncapped passages of the city piled up with huge stones.
These passages are either left or right, connected horizontally and vertically, or directly a dead end, and it is like a labyrinth!
This labyrinth is a bit similar to the staggered and vertical labyrinth cut from green plants and flowers outside the Western castle in the album, but this boulder maze is taller, and the passage is not at right angles, those passages are straight and curved, and it looks dazzling like a pattern from a high place.
But unless you are standing higher, it is extremely difficult to clearly identify the direction of these passages. Originally, it was an opportunity on the high platform, but there was a layer of cloud and fog blockade, and when the strong wind hit and the clouds and mist dispersed a little, I didn't pay attention to see this place clearly, and it was too late to see it clearly.
Right in the middle of the megalithic labyrinth, a tall white tower hangs from one side of the tower, with two thick iron chains attached to it.
Han Daring looked at the iron chain plank, and then looked at the platform in the distance, but at this time, the position of the platform could no longer be seen under the clouds and mist overhead, and he thought to himself, this tower must have been connected to the broken ropeway bridge of the platform. In ancient times, people should have walked directly from that platform to the tower without going through the treacherous black land.
He thought about it in his heart but did not stop, and saw that there were two huge white ashlars for building the city wall piled up on the battlements, three or two of them were piled up in one place, not to mention one or two thousand catties, and he saw that the ground of the battlements was rough, and the friction between the rough surface of the ashlar and the rough gravel was extremely great, so he stepped forward and pushed hard, feeling that with his own strength, he could not but move half of it.
So he brought the thick rope around the ashlar, and pulled the thick rope to keep squeezing his hands, and the thick rope was gradually tightened. The other end of the thick rope was fixed to the cobblestone where the rest of the people were. I saw that the thick rope was gradually straightened, and finally the head of the city and the cobblestone below were obliquely connected into a line.
Mei Ruohong took out a pulley from her backpack, she thought it might come in handy, so she brought it with her. With this pulley, hanging on the rope, as long as it is fixed to the person who climbs the rope, and the rope can be gently pinched with the hand to use the power of the pulley to quickly climb from the cobblestone to the top of the city, even a fat man like Fan Tong can easily go up and down.
Fortunately, in order to save Ye Ling just now, the backpack that he grabbed and threw out was not Mei Ruohong's own, otherwise this group of pulleys would have been swallowed by the giant earthworm now.
Mei Ruohong was installing the pulley, but Fan Tong stared at the utensils scattered on the black soil, the backpack that Mei Ruohong threw out was his, in addition to the gold and silver utensils, it was dry food, this backpack was thrown out, it was like a knife to cut his heart, it was like crying without tears, and his heart was dripping blood.
After the pulley was installed, Mei Ruohong brought a long rope, handed the rope to Ye Ling at one end, and then climbed the thick rope first, hooked the other end of the pulley on himself, turned his back to the ground, hooked the thick rope with both hands, and grabbed the thick rope with both hands and slammed his hands upwards alternately.
Unexpectedly, with the help of pulleys, although it was climbed from the bottom to the slope, it didn't take long for Mei Ruohong to climb most of the way, and he had already climbed to the top of the city in a short time.
Mei Ruohong climbed up to the top of the city, so he slid the pulley from a high place, Ye Ling first hung everyone's backpack equipment on the pulley in batches, and then tied the rope left by Mei Ruohong just now to the equipment, Han Daring at the head of the city pulled the rope, and after a while, he had already pulled everyone's backpack equipment up to the city.
After the equipment was transported, Ye Ling first asked Wang Weihan to climb the rope according to Mei Ruohong's appearance, and then tied the rope head that slid down with the pulley to Wang Weihan's body.
Then he drew the gourd in the same way, and everybody did the same, and climbed up to the top of the city. After Ye Ling and Chen Feiyang also went to the city, only Li Huan and Fan Tong were left on the cobblestone.
Li Huan was worried that Fan Tong would be in danger on his own, but the thick rope was very strong anyway, so he asked Fan Tong to hook and hang the pulley, and he climbed the rope directly up like Han Daring. Han Daring pulled the rope and pulled Fan Tong, who was hanging on the pulley, towards the city, and Li Huan climbed the rope to follow.
Unexpectedly, the pulley was not as sturdy as it looked, and after repeated sliding with weight, the screws on it began to loosen. Fan Tong had just passed half of the thick rope, and the screws on the pulley suddenly "clicked" and loosened, and the pulley was stuck on the thick rope, no matter how Han Da'er pulled the rope, he couldn't move half a minute.
Li Huan in the back is okay, he knows martial arts and his body is light, even if he climbs the rope, he can go up by himself, but Fan Tong's body is heavy, but his strength is not great, relying on his arm strength, let alone climbing to the city, even if he grabs the rope to support him for a while, I'm afraid he can't.
Fan Tong saw that the pulley was stuck, his heart was flustered, and his forehead instantly saw sweat. Constantly on the thick rope, reaching out and patting the pulley, the pulley used to be able to reset and return to the surface of the thick rope, but the more he patted, the more the pulley was stuck.
At this time, Han Daring shouted:
"Li Huan, you bypass him and climb up first, I'll go down to pick him up!"
Li Huan knew that with his own sharp weapon, he really couldn't help Fan Tong get out of trouble on the rough rope, so he nodded and climbed the rough rope, bypassed Fan Tong from the rough rope where Fan Tong was, and continued to climb up. But listening to Fan Tong's voice behind him, he was already crying, and pleaded:
"Don't go! Don't leave! Don't leave me alone! ”
Li Huan was already about to arrive at the head of the city, and he couldn't help but plead when he heard Fan Tong below, so he wanted to turn back to help him, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a "click", and the stuck pulley completely cracked, and a bunch of broken pulley parts fell from mid-air.
Although the pulley parts are not too big, they fell from mid-air on the black earth, and the ground not far away shook instantly, but it had already alarmed the lurking giant earthworms.
The giant earthworm body weakly poked out of the earth, and it could be tens of meters long, and if a person stood up, it could swallow the fan on the thick rope with one bite. Suddenly, the ground soil bulged and quickly came in the direction of the pulley falling.
Li Huan was already on the edge of the city, and was about to turn around to rescue, but Han Daring reached out and grabbed him and pulled him to the city.
At this time, there was no hooked pulley, Fan Tong's arms and legs couldn't help trembling, and he couldn't hold on to the rope and was about to fall. At the same time, the uplift of the soil layer has reached the pulley not far away, and it seems that the giant earthworm will break through the soil in an instant!
But Han Daring was unusual, but he didn't go to the rescue as soon as possible, but stared at Fan Tong, as if he was in a daze......
