Chapter 40: Returning safely without danger
"Okay, I've rested enough, you can put me down. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The girl, that is, Lu Yangling, said softly.
Xie An put her down according to his words, and Da Bai came over very consciously, and turned sideways to face the side of the medicine box at her.
Lu Yangling took out a rope that looked beyond imagination from the medicine box, walked to the side of a big tree closest to the cliff, wrapped the rope around the trunk for half a circle, and then pulled the two ends of the rope and retreated.
"That's the way out. ”
"But even though this rope is long, it's not enough to go down to the bottom of the cliff. ”
"Why do we want to go down to the bottom of the cliff?" Lu Yangling looked at Xie An like a fool.
“......”
Xie An thought that he had been able to keep up with Lu Yangling's thinking, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
Lu Yangling tied a section of the rope to the big white waist, then tightened the rope at the other end and wrapped it around his hand a few times.
"I found a cave in this cliff when I was collecting medicine in this cliff, and it's not far down here, as long as we hide in it, we can be safe. ”
Xie An poked his head out and looked down, only the steep cliff wall and the sharp rocks protruding from the cliff wall, where there was any shadow of the cliff cave.
"The cave is concave inward, and you can't find it from above. ”
After speaking, Lu Yangling did not pause for a moment, pulled the rope and jumped down the cliff, his feet fell together on the cliff wall, the long rope in his hand was constantly placed, and his body fell at a uniform speed, a set of movements was extremely skillful, it seems that he used to often collect medicine on the cliff.
After falling for about twenty steps, Lu Yangling's figure disappeared from Xie An's field of vision, and then his voice was heard coming from below.
"Okay, you can also come down with the medicine box package on your back, Da Bai will come down last, it knows what to do!"
Since Lu Yangling said so, Xie An did not hesitate, grabbed the rope with his bag on his back and jumped down.
There is thick ice on this cliff, and it is easy to slip when you step on it, Xie An accidentally hit the cliff with his foot when he just went down, but fortunately, he reacted with his other hand in time, and he didn't know how Lu Yangling could do it so easily.
Although his movements were not as elegant as Lu Yangling's, but with the foundation of a cultivator, Xie An still entered the cliff cave safely.
After Xie An arrived safely, Lu Yangling pulled the rope and pulled it, and then began to slowly put the rope up, and at the same time pressed his foot against a rock at the entrance of the cave, his expression was very difficult, Xie An saw this and hurriedly went up to help pull the rope.
With Xie An's help, Lu Yangling's pressure suddenly decreased, and soon Da Bai also went to the cliff cave.
After Da Bai stood firm, Lu Yangling quickly untied the rope around its waist, and then quickly pulled the other end. At first, the rope only made a half-circle around the trunk, so it can still be pulled easily.
Within a few moments, the entire rope was completely recovered, leaving no trace on it.
Shortly after the rope was recovered, Xie An heard a noisy human voice coming from the cliff.
The abyss was pitch black and the cliffs were slippery, as long as the Heavenly Wolf Gang did not dispatch a beading stage monk who could fly to the sky, then it would be absolutely impossible to find Xie An and them.
Although the enemy was close at hand, Xie An was not worried about it, and what really worried him now was how to go up when the limelight passed.
Sure enough, after tossing and turning on it for half an hour, the pursuers of the Sky Wolf Gang finally confirmed that Xie An was desperate and jumped off the cliff.
Although it took so much effort to pursue for so long but did not catch the living, jumping from such a high cliff must be a dead end, so in the end, the pursuers of the Sky Wolf Gang still returned with some unwillingness and some pride.
After the cliff fell silent again, Xie An frowned and asked, "Do you have a way to go up?"
After entering the cliff cave, Xie An took a closer look, the cliff cave was not big, it seemed to be naturally formed, and there was no other exit, and if he wanted to return to the ground, he had to make a fuss from this only cave.
After listening to Xie An's question, Lu Yangling silently opened the medicine box and took out two iron pickaxes commonly used by medicine pickers and shook them in front of Xie An.
"Use this. ”
Xie An was dumbfounded, this medicine box was not too big, it already took up a lot of space with such a long rope in it, and there was actually such a pair of obstructive and heavy iron pickaxes.
"You wouldn't have wanted to hide here, would you?"
This medicine box was packed before departure, and at that time they didn't know that anyone would find out their whereabouts, if Lu Yangling thought of this at that time, it would be a bit too clever.
Lu Yangling shook his head and said, "I'm just used to taking these medicinal things with me, as long as I have the tools to collect medicine, I don't have to worry about medicinal materials." ”
"Did you plan to use an iron pickaxe to go up there?"
Now that the problem of the way out has been solved, Xie An is not in a hurry and asks curiously.
"Why do you come down without a way to go up, you're going to starve to death!"
“......”
After being despised by Lu Yangling again, Xie An decided not to continue this conversation with this strange-thinking girl, anyway, every time he would be shocked by the girl's unique thinking and become internally injured.
However, although Lu Yangling has strange thinking, Xie An has to admit that she is indeed a smart girl.
At the juncture of life and death, in such a nervous mood, she was able to use the resources in her hands to plan a perfect escape route in a short period of time, at least Xie An couldn't find fault with this plan.
After waiting for more than an hour, Xie An listened carefully to the movement above, and made sure that the pursuers had indeed gone far before tying the rope around his waist and taking the iron pickaxe and climbing up one by one.
Climbed to the top of the cliff and looked around, but didn't find any figures, and the footprints that were trampled on in the snow finally disappeared in the direction of the Sky Wolf Gang, and Xie An's heart was completely relaxed.
After tying one end to a big tree, Xie An tugged at the rope, and then felt the rope sink at one end.
It took a lot of effort to pull Da Bai up, Xie An patted its ass and scolded: "It's really heavier than a pig!"
The latter bared his teeth at Xie An dissatisfiedly, but he didn't dare to really pounce, Xie An's previous image of killing all sides was in full view.
Lu Yangling didn't need Xie An's help at all, and jumped up like a light swallow with a rope.
After packing up everything, the two and one dog began to flee again.
Although the pursuers are now retreating, it is not a short journey to bypass the battle line of the Sky Wolf Gang and return to the camp of the Luoyun Sect.
Xie An has been here for a long time, and he doesn't know if there is any new movement on the side of the Luoyun Sect, and he doesn't know if the news of the ghost in the corpse cloud has been transmitted back to the sect, and more importantly, he is worried about Zhen Ling'er's safety, and he doesn't know if she is safe and sound.
Thinking in my heart, the steps under my feet have also increased a lot faster.
After ten days of circumnavigating in the ice and snow, Xie An and the others finally saw the shadow of the purgatory stronghold in the distance.
Thinking of the days of worrying and not having enough to eat in the past ten days, Xie An felt a sense of kindness when he saw the purgatory stronghold, although the cave where he lived was only a simple cave, and the food was only unpalatable paste, but it was with such a cordiality for no reason.
Xie An couldn't help but speed up his pace, and after rushing out of the dense forest, he was about to rush to the cave above, but he was greeted by two feathered arrows, but fortunately he stopped in time to avoid being shot.
Only then did he remember that he was still wearing the uniform of the Sky Wolf Gang, and hurriedly shouted: "My own people!
"Your own people, the scouts have all come back more than ten days ago, you report your name!"
"I'm Xie An, I'm really my own person!"
When the sentry above heard this, he did not release any more arrows, and after a while, Xie An saw Qin Feng and his party walking down the path.
However, Qin Feng's face did not see Xie An's joy when he returned safely, and some were only solemn.
