Chapter 327: Ropeway Adventure
Seeing the ghostly figure of King Chiyang chasing in the direction of Liu Yifei descending the mountain, Lu Yuanfeng immediately dodged out from behind the mountain rock where he was hiding, and quickly ran into the cave where Hua Xiangjun was.
He quietly came to the sleeping Hua Xiangjun, only to see her petite body curled up slightly under a wide animal skin mattress, and on that quiet and beautiful little face, there was still a faint sadness.
Lu Yuanfeng's dark eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of pity, stepped forward and gently hugged her with the animal skin mattress, turned around and walked out of the cave quickly.
As soon as they arrived outside the cave, they were immediately surrounded by snowflakes flying in the sky.
Lu Yuanfeng hurriedly hugged Hua Xiangjun tighter into his arms, and by the way, he freed up a hand and pulled the animal skin upward, covering her soft cheeks that had just been wet by snowflakes.
Then he lifted his breath and flew towards the edge of the cliff behind the mountain.
Reaching the edge of the cliff, he stopped in front of the ropeway, which was most likely built by the King of the Red Sun.
The so-called ropeway is nothing more than a thick rope made up of several sturdy mountain vines. One end of the rope was fastened to the trunk of a large tree, while the other end was presumably fastened somewhere across the cliff.
This cliff is at least forty or fifty feet away from the opposite mountainside, and there should be a bottomless abyss below.
Thinking that the Red Sun King was able to build such a ropeway on top of this cliff with his own strength, his skill had obviously reached the realm of transcendent sainthood.
And the purpose of him not hesitating to spend so much effort to build a ropeway here should not be just so that he can get rid of the pursuit of the hidden masters.
It seems that before this old devil came to Chongyuan, he had plans to rob Sister Xiangjun.
Lu Yuanfeng couldn't help sneering at this cableway, presumably this old devil would never have dreamed that he had tried his best to arrange, but in the end he had prepared a place for himself to be buried!
But although Lu Yuanfeng had scolded the old devil who wanted to snatch Xiangjun's sister countless times in his heart, he didn't dare to have any underestimate of this Chiyang King at all.
With the peerless martial arts of the King of Chiyang, it is still necessary to rely on the ropeway to bring another person to the other side of the cliff. And he is not good at light body kung fu, whether he can take Sister Xiangjun with him and pass this ropeway smoothly is a great test.
At this moment, a fierce mountain wind blew, blowing snowflakes in the wind, and the ropeway hanging in the air was like a swing, swaying left and right, and constantly swinging up and down.
Lu Yuanfeng couldn't help but close his eyes, secretly cheered himself up for a while, and at the same time thought of a more secure way to pass through the ropeway.
He first put down Hua Xiangjun in his arms gently. Then he drew his sword, which hung from his waist, and quickly cut several long, narrow strips from the animal skin mattress that had wrapped her.
After carefully carrying Hua Xiangjun again, he used the ropes made of animal skins to tie her firmly to his body.
Then he took a deep breath and leaped, landing on the ropeway that was still rocking.
After walking carefully on the ropeway for a few steps, Lu Yuanfeng gradually mastered the technique of maintaining balance with his arms, and his forward speed began to increase.
However, with his arms outstretched, he could not wipe away the snowflakes that had been blown down on his face by the wind. Gradually, the snowflakes began to melt on his face, and some of the snow water still flowed into his eyes, and the cold wind blew it, which immediately brought a heart-piercing pain.
He had no choice but to close his eyes and rely on his senses to make his way forward on the shaky ropeway.
But at this moment, another stronger mountain wind suddenly blew, blowing the ropeway violently.
Lu Yuanfeng's body also shook, and the steps under his feet suddenly became chaotic.
He hurriedly reached forward with his left foot, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to stabilize his crumbling form. Who knew that the mountain vine under his feet became extremely slippery due to a layer of snowflakes, but he didn't stand firmly, and fell down the cliff!
In a moment of crisis, he jerked his hand upwards and grabbed the ropeway that was shaking.
After floating in the air for a few moments, Lu Yuanfeng slowly stabilized his mind.
When he felt his cold sweaty back being warmed by another soft body, a smile of satisfaction crossed his lips.
Sister Xiangjun is sleeping quietly on her back at the moment.
I will be able to pass through this abominable ropeway and bring her to the other side safely.
Taking a deep breath again, Lu Yuanfeng began to grab the mountain vine with both hands, moving forward alternately.
As a layer of snowflakes fell on the vines, it melted by the temperature on his hands, turning into snow water, which flowed down his arms and soon wet his entire sleeve.
The mountain wind blew, bringing a biting chill and freezing one of his arms.
But he still gritted his teeth, and with strong willpower, he continued to move forward slowly.
Although he couldn't open his eyes, he could still feel that he was very close to his destination.
Who knew that just when he was slightly relieved, he suddenly heard a soft sound of "click".
Immediately, he felt the mountain vine in his hand tremble, and one of the mountain vines should have broken and loosened.
Lu Yuanfeng was instantly shocked into a cold sweat again!
Judging by the thickness of this ropeway, it should be made of three mountain vines tangled.
At this moment, one of the mountain vines has been broken, and the remaining two will naturally be stressed heavier, and I am afraid that they will not be able to support it for long.
This ropeway is their only hope. Once it is broken, not only will Hua Xiangjun and Hua Xiangjun fall off the cliff, but Liu Yifei will also be cut off from retreating, and it will be difficult to escape the poisonous hands of King Chiyang.
At this time of life and death, Lu Yuanfeng knew that he had no time to hesitate anymore, so he could only give up his life.
I saw him grit his teeth violently, suddenly let go of his hands, and let his body fall straight down.
At the same time, he quickly drew the sword from his waist and carefully observed the situation ahead with his barely open eyes.
When he saw a prominent black shadow in front of him, he stabbed the sword in his hand at the black shadow.
I only heard a "duh" sound, and the tip of the sword had pierced into something.
And his body was also stunned, and finally stopped the fall.
At this moment, Lu Yuanfeng's heart finally let go. Because he knows that his fight is right!
Sure enough, the topography of this mountain is similar to that of the opposite mountain, the rock is very weathered, and the rock is loose and full of crevices. And the most fortunate thing is that it really made him run into a mountain rock protruding outward!
He tried the sword in his hand a little, and felt that at least half of the sword had entered the mountain rock, and it was very firmly fixed.
So, with the strength of his arms, he took advantage of the elasticity of the blade of the sword, and his body jumped upwards and landed firmly on the rock.
After drawing his sword, he jumped up again, and at the same time used his sword to continuously pierce the mountain rock to borrow strength, and soon climbed to the top of the cliff.
With a long breath, he hurriedly untied the animal skin rope tied to his body and put down Hua Xiangjun behind him.
Seeing that his sister Xiangjun was still sleeping peacefully, Lu Yuanfeng's face also showed a reassuring smile.
He then ran to this end of the ropeway to check on the damage.
There are not enough trees near the top of the cliff, so this end of the ropeway is fixed to a large separate rock. Due to the rough rock face, the vines that wrap around it are severely worn.
When Lu Yuanfeng saw that among the three mountain vines connecting the cableway, one had been completely broken, and the other had also been half broken, he couldn't help but be shocked.
If he doesn't let go when he is uncomfortable, even if he and Sister Xiangjun can barely reach the edge of the cliff, this end of this ropeway will inevitably be completely disconnected and fall under the cliff.
However, although the ropeway was still there at this moment, Lu Yuanfeng couldn't find a suitable way to connect the broken mountain vine immediately.
So, he decided to stay here all the time, and when the time came, he would pull this end of the ropeway by himself, so that Liu Yifei, who came later, could pass safely.
