Chapter 194: Dead End
After walking such a long way, Lu Chengfeng was already a little unable to support it. The sword wound on his body could have gritted his teeth and persevered, but the inopportune onset of internal injuries made his whole body very weak. There is no end in sight to the upward road, but Lu Chengfeng's feet have begun to disobey the call, and every step up has become extremely difficult. It is not easy to walk alone in such a difficult situation, let alone help someone on the road if you are injured.
After about half an hour, the two of them were finally exhausted and could no longer walk, so they simply sat on the stone steps and did not leave. As they gasped for breath, the stone steps in front of them began to fall, and soon they were at their feet.
Jiang Wuhan helplessly lifted up Di Qianjun, and said weakly, "Don't go...... We're all going to die here!"
In the current situation, whether to go or not is actually a dead end, and in the end, you will either die of exhaustion or fall to death.
Lu Chengfeng pointed to the mark carved on the stone steps and said, "We walked the eighty-one stone steps and returned to the original point, can you see what spells have been cast here?"
Jiang Wuhan's face was horrified when he saw the mark, but then he was relieved, "It seems that it has a lot to do with Chi You here, since the Fire Qilin doesn't even want prey to the mouth, I think we also know that once we come up, we will definitely die!"
I really didn't expect that I had to escape from the pursuit of the fire unicorn with great difficulty, but unfortunately stepped into another more dangerous situation. For the current situation, the two of them are very clear, although they know that they have been going around in circles, but they can only insist on going up when they have no choice. Fortunately, the stone steps under the feet did not fall too fast, and the three of them did not have to walk too hurriedly to support each other. But in the face of such a desperate situation, both of them have reached the limit of their bodies and minds. Halfway through, Jiang Wuhan finally couldn't support it, and finally he almost fell to the ground, and along with Di Qianjun, he also fell on the stone steps.
Lu Chengfeng took a deep breath, and then helped Di Qianjun to carry his whole person, while the other hand kept supporting the trembling Jiang Wuhan to continue to move forward. At this moment, Lu Chengfeng has actually reached the point of exhaustion, and after carrying the earth on his back, the whole person seems to be about to lose consciousness. However, he knew that if he gave up at this time, the consequences would be conceivable.
Jiang Wuhan saw that blood was oozing from the wound on his chest again, and he really couldn't bear it in his heart, "You have injuries on your body, so I'll help the junior brother on the ground!"
Lu Chengfeng didn't speak again, but he kept silently counting the stone steps under his feet in his heart. When he reached the seventy-ninth step, Lu Chengfeng seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately stopped.
Jiang Wuhan turned around to see that he was picking the bridge of his nose thoughtfully, and asked breathlessly, "Are you...... What was found...... What's the solution?"
However, Lu Chengfeng never spoke, just waved her hand to signal her not to make a sound.
After a long time, Lu Chengfeng finally nodded secretly, and then spoke, "If this stone step is only eighty-one, we should have reached the destination a long time ago, and it is pointless to continue to move forward." The reason why we keep walking the same path is because we are afraid of falling, and if we take the initiative to jump forward when we reach the eighty-first level, we may be able to die and be reborn. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Wuhan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "That's right, that's right...... Chi You is the leader of the Jiuli tribe, who is murderous and warlike. Although he was brutal by nature, he was known to have always respected warriors who were not afraid of death. One of his most common sayings is that only those who are not afraid of death deserve to live. Since there is a statue of the god Chiyou here, it must have something to do with Chiyou! And you can see the stone sculpture above our heads, although it has been rising, the distance from us has not changed, and I think it is deliberately used to confuse us. ”
Lu Chengfeng glanced up, then looked at the fire qilin under his feet, and gradually began to affirm his conjecture in his heart for a while, although his idea was close to suicide. But now there is no way out, rather than being tired to death, it is better to try to the death, even if you fall to death, you will end up happy.
"We've reached the seventy-ninth step now, and we'll be there by taking two more steps up!"
The two of them walked up cautiously, while silently counting in their hearts. After a few moments, the two of them finally reached the top of the stone staircase that had been marked before. Lu Chengfeng glanced at his feet, it was pitch black, and he could barely see anything clearly.
But now that it's decided, there's no need to think about it anymore. Lu Chengfeng took out a jade pendant from the Qiankun bag on his waist and broke it in half, which was the jade pendant that was dropped by someone in the Liutai Town Gambling House before. He took the half of the jade pendant and barely hesitated, as if he threw it right in front of them.
Maybe it was Lu Chengfeng's carelessness, he didn't expect that this Qiankun bag and jade pendant would inadvertently reveal his identity. Jiang Wuhan was almost stunned on the spot when he saw these two things, he could even be 100% sure that the person in front of him was the senior brother Lu who was the best in his back then, and he really didn't die. But the current situation did not allow her to ask more, for it was all meaningless until they lived to leave this place.
After the jade pendant was thrown down, he didn't hear any echo for about a cup of tea, Lu Chengfeng suddenly felt a chill in his heart, could it be that he was mistaken? But he was not very willing to think about it, and then threw the other half of the jade pendant to his right front, but after waiting for a while, there was still no movement.
At this moment, Lu Chengfeng finally fell into unprecedented despair, and his eyes dimmed.
Rao was so, but he didn't have much time to linger here, and saw that the last stone step under his feet had fallen. In desperation, the two had to continue to go up. Along the way, Lu Chengfeng seemed to be more silent than before. However, after Jiang Wuhan was sure of the identity of the person in front of him, although he was in danger, he also felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
When people are faced with danger, physical torture is only secondary, and the most fearful thing is despair in the heart. At this moment, Lu Chengfeng's heart is like ashes. I thought that I had finally found a way to solve it after meditating, but I never thought that it would be empty and happy. Fortunately, he didn't jump recklessly, otherwise he would have been crushed.
Lu Chengfeng never knew what was wrong, obviously there were only eighty-one stone steps here, but why couldn't he find a place to stay at the end, what was wrong? Since he walked up this stone step, he has been silently counting the steps of the stone steps just in case. So far, he has walked more than 600 steps, and if he continues like this, he may really have only a dead end.
Returning to the original point again, Lu Chengfeng looked at the mark, and had a very strange feeling in his heart, could it be that there was something wrong with this mark.
Staring at the marks on the stone steps, Lu Chengfeng suddenly came back to his senses, and then slapped his forehead violently, and then nodded again and again, "I finally understand, I see, I see......
