Chapter 38: Stone Town
Five or six meters away from me and Xiao Liuzi, there was a fault, which was the kind of incalculable cliff abyss.
Because of the distance, I could only see the pitch black under the fault, and I didn't know what kind of depth it was below, whether it was a shallow pit of one or two meters, or an abyss as deep as ten thousand feet.
I cautiously walked to the edge of the fault and stretched out my flashlight to shine downward.
I saw that there was not a shallow pit below, nor was it an abyss, and under the light of the flashlight, I could vaguely see a dark object everywhere, or because it was too far away, I couldn't see what the object was there.
Under the light of the flashlight, I vaguely saw a large reflection of silver light, also because of the distance, I can't see it very clearly, anyway, it feels very huge.
Such a high distance, I roughly estimated, at least a few dozen zhang away, if you want to go down, it is almost impossible, even if the rope in my backpack is connected to the saber chain of Xiao Liuzi, it is not enough.
There was still a road, but I didn't know how to go down, which made me look a little annoyed, and I raised my foot and kicked the ground the edge of the fault cliff.
It was this kick that made me feel like I had kicked some hard bulge that it hurt my toes.
As soon as my feet hurt, I became even more irritable, cursing in my heart, and shining the flashlight towards my feet, trying to see what was blocking my feet.
I thought it would be a raised stone, but the moment I shone the flashlight, I saw the reflection of metal.
When I looked closely, it was a thumb-thick rivet embedded deep in the ground in front of my feet.
And on top of the rivet, there was a rope that went straight to the bottom of the cliff.
"This is my daddy's rivet!"
Xiao Liuzi suddenly screamed, and then shouted loudly at the bottom of the dark cliff.
Obviously, the voice was so loud and harsh, but it didn't get the slightest response, so it is conceivable that there is no one down there.
Although no one responded, one thing was certain, that is, Xiao Liuzi's father obviously went down from this cliff.
And Liu Baye walked with Xiao Liuzi's father, so he must have also gone down to the bottom of the cliff together.
"Brother Dongzi, I'll go down first, and you will follow."
may have seen clues about his father, and Xiao Liuzi couldn't wait to climb down the rope first.
After Xiao Liuzi grabbed the rope and climbed down, I also went down with him.
Just as my whole body was hanging in the air, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in my ears.
I was amazed, and hurriedly looked at the darkness where we had come.
If you don't look at it, it's okay, this look is so shocking that I almost didn't grasp it steadily, and almost fell from this 100-meter altitude.
I saw that in the dark place, there were faint pairs of green light in front of them, there were dozens of pairs just at a glance, and among these dozens of pairs of eyes, there was a pair of very special, because the light emitted by those eyes was not dark green, but blue......
I didn't expect Brother Leopard to go and return, and bring back dozens of monsters.
I couldn't help but be a little glad about this, and sent Liu Qiaomei out, otherwise I really didn't know how to deal with it at the moment.
Those eyes were getting closer and closer to me, and I knew that if I stayed where I was, I would be bitten by them.
So I didn't stop, and after stabilizing my body a bit, I started to slide down quickly.
As I slid down, when I looked up again, I found that dozens of pairs of eyes had appeared at the cliff.
Those pairs of eyes stared at me so directly, as if they were unwilling, but they didn't mean to chase me.
They're not human, and they don't climb like humans, so it seems to me that I'm probably safe for the time being.
As I continued to slide, the eyes glowing with turquoise light became more and more blurred, and finally completely engulfed in the boundless darkness.
If it is a normal journey, the distance of 100 meters is at most two or three minutes, but this height of 100 meters up and down took me more than half an hour.
Fortunately, climbing is also among the skills I have learned, otherwise I would never have been able to do it for so long with my bare hands.
After hanging for more than half an hour, my feet finally touched the ground that I hadn't seen in a long time.
Since I need to use two hands to climb, I changed the flashlight to a headlamp in advance and fixed it on the top of my head.
By the light of the headlamp, I hurriedly checked my hands, and it was no wonder that they had been feeling like they were burning, and they had apparently made several large blisters.
A few large blisters were a bit uncomfortable, but the little pain was nothing to me.
What was more painful was from my side ribs, although I simply applied some drugs to stop bleeding and relieve pain, Liu Tingting also gave me a simple bandage before leaving.
But because of the climbing, he actually earned the wound again, which is comparable to drilling the heart.
Xiao Liuzi is much stronger than me, such a height doesn't seem to be a big deal for him at all, and he doesn't have half a blister on his hands.
But I noticed that the calluses on his hands were very thick, and it was clear that such climbs should be considered a routine for him.
"Daddy, Daddy!"
After going down to the bottom of the cliff, Xiao Liuzi called again, but it was still like a stone sinking into the sea, and he didn't get the slightest response.
It was still pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't see what was going on.
In order to cope with the current environment, I turned the light of the headlamp to the maximum setting, so that I could barely see the scene within tens of meters in front of me.
As I looked at the light of my headlamp, I was stunned by what I saw.
I saw a smooth street in front of my eyes, and on both sides of the street were stone houses next to each other.
The houses are made of blue bricks and stones, and their style is similar to the architectural style of the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and I feel like I am in some old street above the ground.
The difference is that in reality, there will be a lot of smoke and fire in the streets, but here it is like hell.
There was no end to the street, and it looked like a small town hidden underground.
"Ah...... Father......! ”
Xiao Liuzi shouted again.
I thought he was unwilling, but I didn't expect him to rush towards the strange dead street in front of me.
I was so puzzled by this that I was about to call out to him, but I had just opened my mouth, and before I could shout, I saw a vague figure in the corner of a house in the middle of the street.
The figure disappeared as soon as it was illuminated by the headlamp, and the place where Xiao Liuzi ran at this time was the direction in which the figure disappeared.
"Little Liuzi!"
I shouted, but by the time I did, the little six had already turned into the corner of the house and disappeared before my eyes.
I'm sure I saw a figure, but I'm not sure if it's Xiao Liuzi's father, if it is, he can go out directly and reunite with Xiao Liuzi, why hide?
The sudden flash of that figure was so weird, which made me start to worry about the safety of Xiao Liuzi, seeing that Xiao Liuzi disappeared, I also hurriedly walked forward and ran towards the house where Xiao Liuzi disappeared.
Before, probably because of the distance, I didn't think there was anything wrong with those houses.
It wasn't until I stepped closer that I realized that all the houses on the street were very small, only one-third the height of a normal house.
So much so that when I straightened up, I was more than a head taller than the houses, which gave me the impression that they were even more shacks than shacks.
Is such a low house for dwarfs?
Strange thoughts suddenly sprung up in my mind.
Of course, I just thought about it casually, and I didn't really take it to heart, and at the moment I just wanted to catch up with Xiao Liuzi quickly, so that I could see clearly whether the figure was a human or a ghost.
