If Luo Huaping is undefended against the cliff on the back of his village, it can only mean that there is no road to the top of the mountain.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of "bang-la-la", which seemed thrilling in the silent deep ditch, startling a flock of night birds that inhabited the forest.

Everyone below was startled by the sudden noise, and when they were busy looking closely, they found that it was two people on the cliff stone road who accidentally knocked down some stones and knocked them on the smooth stone wall in a string.

The night sky was cold, the hollow valley echoed, and the sound was suddenly amplified exponentially.

Chai Shaoning and the three of them came to the spirit all of a sudden.

If that doesn't lead to thieves, then tonight's exploration will basically fail.

Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong on the cliff also knew that they were at a critical moment, so they bowed down and stopped advancing, quietly waiting for things to change.

In the deathly silence, both sides turned their attention to the surroundings under the cliff.

Silence reigns in the deep valley where silence is restored.

Disappointment rose in the hearts of the two groups at the same time.

But suddenly, a faint, terrible sound rumbled, and as soon as it sounded, it had become a flood of momentum, like a continuous thunderstorm, which made people's hearts tremble.

"What is this?" Chai Shaoning asked suspiciously, suddenly woke up, and tried his best to set his eyes on the top of the cliff.

Desperate cries were heard from the mouths of two people on the cliff.

Countless boulders rained down from the sky, drowning Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong, who had no way to escape, in the blink of an eye.

"Third brother, fourth brother!" Yuan Zhiwei and Yin Chengjun let out a terrible cry, but they didn't dare to hesitate at all, turned around and desperately escaped from the range shrouded by falling rocks.

After a wave of stone rain, there was no sound as if everything that had just happened was just a nightmare.

However, the shock in the hearts of several people under the cliff could not be calmed down.

After a few moments, two dark shadows departed.

Yuan Zhiwei and Yin Chengjun, who had lost their two brothers, were in a sad mood, lost the mind to continue the investigation, and turned around and left the cliff.

When they were sure that there was no abnormality, Chai Shaoning and the three of them walked out of the lying place and slowly touched forward.

Rocks fell below the cliffs, and trees were smashed into stumps. Chai Shaoning's night eyes could see that in a pile of rubble, there was still bubbling blood gushing out, poor Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong, almost unable to react, only in the blink of an eye, they had turned into flesh, and there was no corpse left.

Thinking about the thrilling scene just now, Chai Shaoning and the three of them still had palpitations in their hearts, and they were extremely careful under their feet, and they never dared to make the slightest noise.

Looking up at the huge cliff that was not high, Chai Shaoning suddenly had doubts in his heart. At such a high peak, can you really hear the sound below?

Thinking of this, Chai Shaoning broke out in a cold sweat. If it wasn't for the people above who heard the movement and dropped the stones just now, it means that under the cliff on the back of this Black Tiger Peak, there is indeed a secret sentry laid by Luo Huaping.

The three of them hurriedly retreated to the area farther behind the cliff.

The danger is not around, but from somewhere overhead that is not detected, and when it is detected, it is too late to dodge.

Arriving at a position that made them feel safer, the three Chai Shaoning brothers stopped and carefully recalled the scene before the stone fell.

The thief's sentry must have heard the sound of stones hitting the cliff wall before notifying his accomplices above to drop the falling rocks. Neither saw it, but also had time to inform the thieves at the top of the cliff that the location of this secret whistle should be in a secret passage on the cliff wall where you can go up to the top of the cliff.

Thinking of this, the three of them were in high spirits.

The Merry Four Envoys guessed correctly, Luo Huaping must have left a secret passage behind the cliff that could escape at a critical moment, and in order to prevent being discovered, he sent a minion to guard it for a long time. If you can find this secret passage, you can sneak up to the top of the cliff unconsciously and catch Luo Huaping off guard from behind.

Chai Shaoning's gaze redirected to the path on the cliff.

Recalling the scene when Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong walked on the trail more and more slowly and difficult, the three of them guessed that the path should become narrower and narrower as the height increased, or even a dead-end road. But except for a few places where you can occasionally see vegetation, most of the cliffs are bare, what is the purpose of this path here?

With the experience of Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong, Chai Shaoning did not dare to go up to the stone wall path again, but went around the cliff from the side, and with the help of the night eye, he looked up at the stone wall carefully.

The smooth, steep cliffs glow hard in the night.

Chai Shaoning observed for a long time and found nothing, and his heart was just filled with disappointment, and he suddenly stared thoughtfully at a place on the cliff wall about thirty zhang high from the valley floor below. There, a small sword hilt was stuck in the wall stone, and even with Chai Shaoning's ability to see things at night, if he hadn't caught a glimpse by chance, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

The area where the hilt of the sword was located was just below the path where Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong were smashed, and the straight mountain wall was in a state of retraction here. Because of the protection of the huge uplifted mountain above, I don't know if it was Miao Jianglong or Huo Liangdong who was anxious to survive, so the long sword that pierced into the wall was not smashed down by the stone together, but inserted into the stone wall, leaving only one sword hilt protruding outside.

Chai Shaoning approached the bottom of the giant cliff and tried to press the stone wall hard, but the hard stone surface did not react. He was even more suspicious in his heart, such a solid stone could be easily inserted into the handle with a sword, if Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong really had such strong strength, they didn't have to take the trouble to explore any secret passages, looking for an opportunity to cut Luo Huaping's back.

Hearing Chai Shaoning say that he wanted to follow the path that Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong walked up to the stone wall, Geng Qiuwen and Fang Xiaoyun were vigorously opposed.

The reason why Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong kicked off the gravel must be because that area happened to be a place where there were more rockfalls, and just after another rockfall attack, there must have been a lot of gravel accumulated on the path, how could Chai Shaoning avoid the doom of repeating the mistakes of those two?

However, Chai Shaoning has his own plans. The position where the sword was inserted was so high that with his current strength, he would definitely not be able to jump up without passing through the path, and that place happened to be under the uplift of the cliff wall above, Miao Jianglong or Huo Liangdong must have also seen that it was an excellent place to avoid falling rocks, so they tried to use the sword to enter the wall and hang themselves in the air. But I don't know why, one of them managed to stab his sword into the stone wall, but he still fell to the bottom of the cliff, and was smashed to pieces by the boulder. It's just that in this way, it leaves Chai Shaoning with a place to hide.

Chai Shaoning was sure to jump down the path to the hilt of the sword before the falling rocks fell, hang himself in the air through the hilt, and then use the raised cliff wall above to avoid the attack of the boulder.

Listening to Chai Shaoning's analysis, it also made sense, Geng Qiuwen and Fang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement after hesitating. The two of them withdrew from the range of the rockfall attack and watched from a distance as a black dot formed by Chai Shaoning slowly moved on the cliff wall.

Chai Shaoning's light skills are obviously much higher than Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong, plus he was deliberately careful, he actually stepped on the gravel to reach the top of the hilt of the sword on the wall without stepping on a stone. This made the frightened Geng Qiuwen and Fang Xiaoyun greatly admired, and their hearts relaxed a lot.

Like a fallen leaf, Chai Shaoning's body floated down from the cliff path and fell to the hilt of the sword in the blink of an eye.

However, at the moment when Chai Shaoning reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword, he understood the reason why Miao Jianglong or Huo Liangdong could not use a sword without a stone, but in the end they still fell off the cliff.

This sword was coincidentally inserted into a weathered mountain rock cave. When Miao Jianglong or Huo Liangdong stabbed out with a sword, he was shocked that his strength was empty, and the long sword was not in the hole, which was not enough to withstand the manned power, he instinctively wanted to pull the hole entrance, but he was horrified to find that the wall of the cave was oblique downward, and there was no place to focus at all.

Between the lightning and the fire, Chai Shaoning had already repeated the process that Miao Jianglong and Huo Liangdong had experienced, slipping off and falling down.

But since Chai Shaoning knew that something was wrong, how could he put himself in danger again? Lightning pulled out a short dagger borrowed from Fang Xiaoyun, and with all his strength, he plunged into the stone with a "boom" and jumped up with his strength.

When one foot stepped on the handle of the dagger, Chai Shaoning's gaze was just at the hole where the long sword had pierced.

Gently pulling out the long sword, Chai Shaoning lifted it in his hand and saw that there was a blood-stained sword body near the tip of the sword.

It turned out that there was someone hiding behind the stone cave! Chai Shaoning was overjoyed, knowing that his guess was correct, there was indeed a hidden passage in the stone wall that could be used by people to go up and down. Miao Jianglong or Huo Liangdong's sword ghost made a miracle, and actually pierced into the body of the thief who was hiding in the cave and looking out, so that the long sword did not slip out of the hole, and Chai Shaoning was able to learn this big secret.

The long sword had been drawn, but there was no movement behind the hole, and the people inside must have been seriously injured and unconscious if they had not been stabbed to death.

Thinking about everything, Chai Shaoning certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity, and immediately raised the bloody long sword, used enough internal force, and stabbed it at the stone wall around the cave entrance.

Perhaps it was because the mountain wind had eroded for a long time, and the cave wall had been crispy, and it was lifted by the blade of Chai Shaoning's powerful internal breath.

Chai Shaoning carefully pushed the chiseled stone into the hole. This is, of course, due to the fear that the stones will make a noise when they fall, drawing the attention of other sentries that may be present in the cave.

Fortunately, the process was very smooth, and Chai Shaoning only took a pillar of incense to expand an opening that could barely be climbed into.

The cave is not deep, only half a foot thick from the cliff outside. Chai Shaoning reached into his arm, climbed the inner wall and used force, and his body slid into the hole like a swimming fish.

At this time, the advantages of having night eyes are fully displayed. The darkness in the cave could not affect Chai Shaoning's eyesight in the slightest.

The cave is not large, and there are two layers of thick straw mats on the ground that have been pressed into hard sheets, which can accommodate a person to lie on his side. A gray-clad thief sat on the ground against the stone wall of the cave, the height of the cave above his head just as he stood up and looked at him.

When Chai Shaoning came in, the cave immediately looked extremely small.
