Chapter 41 Downhill

"Dangdang", Panis nailed three alloy steel brazers deeply into the rocks at the edge of the ground marks. The climbing rope with a length of 400 meters passed through the ring at the top of each alloy steel brazer, and then hung down the cliff of the ground marks. The climbing rope is made of the same material as everyone's wrist ropes. The strength is absolutely guaranteed, and the rope body is relatively thin and easy to carry. However, even so, wearing two climbing ropes of this length occupied a lot of space. Therefore, several people did not choose to weave artificial load-bearing knots on the alloy steel brazer, but chose this kind of speed down method that can recycle the rope at any time.

"The rock here doesn't feel reliable. I feel a little unsafe to use three steel kegs as insurance." Panis pulled the rope and pulled it. The power of the demigod was much higher than the weight of several ordinary people. However, even so, the three alloy steel kegs remained stable: "It seems that there is no problem. Ike, you go down first and calibrate the landing position. I'll guard it on it and then go down to prevent some dangerous situations."

Ike nodded, wrapped the rope around the downhill ring for a few times, and fell down the rope by stepping on the rock wall. Looking down from the top of the ground mark, Ike was like a flexible goat, climbing and jumping on the cliff, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight due to the protrusion of the rocks on the cliff. After a few minutes, the resonance crystal that everyone equipped with came a few vibrations. Catherine carried Vivian and tied it to her body, pulled the climbing rope up and tied it up, and jumped the second time.

Go. Catherine's descending speed was obviously not as fast as Ike. But she was also skilled. After falling for nearly 200 meters in a row, she looked down and saw a horizontal crack on the rock wall. The location of this crack was relatively hidden. It was impossible to see from the position where several people were above. The overall length was about eight meters long and three meters high, and it was sunk to the depth of five or six meters to the inside of the rock wall. The guide Ike had fixed the other three alloy steel kilns in the crack, and was pulling the steel kiln to poke the body out of the crack and waved out.

"See you." Catherine responded, and then was startled by her voice. In this empty ring crypt, the screams were reflected by the surrounding rock walls to form an echo. It sounded like a loud shout. After discovering this problem, Catherine did not dare to continue speaking. She descended to the crack position, and her body swept in the air for a few times, accurately landing in the gap.

Put down Vivian and also notified the above with the resonance crystal. Catherine began to look at the crack. The crack seemed to be formed by natural weathering. The ground was slightly tilted inward, and the inside was slightly larger than the entrance. There were many broken stones piled up on the ground. Standing at the entrance, you could feel a gust of hot wind blowing from the lower direction, but it was far less violent than the ordinary cliff. Everything in the crack looked normal. The only thing that surprised Catherine was the place deep in the crack was close to the corner. There were actually many man-made traces left, including the remains of the fire on the ground, broken clay pots, rusted daggers and other things.

"How could these things appear here?" Catherine was surprised for a moment, then suddenly patted her head and said with a sudden realization: "It should be left by explorers like you, Mr. Ike."

"Yes, most of it was left by me." Ike took Lina back into the crack and then replied: "When I used to come here to explore, sometimes after coming out of the marks of the earth, I found that it was still daytime outside, so I like to hide here until night before leaving. There are too many dangerous monsters in the woods below. It's safer here."

As she was speaking, a strange clicking sound suddenly sounded outside the crack. Catherine poked her head out of her head and looked upward, and found that Freya was gently holding the rope with one hand. Four metal arthropods were added behind her back like a spider. The tip of the arthropods pierced deeply into the cliff under her control, and they stretched and crawled downwards. Her hand holding the rope was just to prevent accidents. Soon, Freya had already reached the gap on the rock wall, and actually hung upside down on the top of the horizontal gap, and crawled into the gap. It was not until she entered the depths of the gap that Freya loosened her arthropods and turned over and fell from the top. The long metal arthropods folded behind her back at the same time, making it difficult to find from the front.

If some villagers with less knowledge see this strange scene, it may be used to scare disobedient children at night. However, Catherine rolled her eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "You won't use all the rewards for the deep-sea mission to buy crystals, otherwise you won't get so much money to replenish your strange machinery."

"My father said that the function of money is to create convenience for his life, rather than to store mold there." Freya said naturally: "Since this method can be used to save more effort, why do you have to make more labor-intensive choices to save hundreds of gold coins?"

"Evil rich man." Catherine said angrily: "When I pay off my debts, I must try this luxurious life. I will keep all the lights at home on all night and keep the constant temperature array of the entire Western museum active."

"Sister, although I don't really want to interrupt your delusion." Vivian, who was sitting aside and staring at the crack in a daze, said: "But I must remind you that doing so consumes the energy provided by my earth vein extraction array, and has nothing to do with the luxury life."

"And even if you really pay off all your debts, you probably won't be willing to do that." Lina carefully wiped the thick sheepskin cover of the novel in her hand, and said without raising her head: "Your habit has become an instinct. I don't believe you will change it because you have no debts."

Before Catherine could fight back, Panis suddenly pulled the climbing rope from outside and jumped into the crack. As soon as he landed, he began to pull one end of the rope that had formed a stream of rope to recycle the rope. While pulling, he said, "Ike, prepare for the next layer. You should be able to turn around the clouds once. I can't remember it clearly when it's too long."

"You remember correctly." When Penis was collecting the rope, Ike took out another four hundred meters long rope and passed it on the alloy steel brazing: "Another drop of about one hundred and seventy meters, you can transfer it for the second time, but it is not as comfortable as this crack. It is best for everyone to be mentally prepared and not be scared at that time."

"No problem." Panis wrapped the retracted climbing rope and handed it to Ike: "You get off first, I remember there, I will explain to them."

"What?" Seeing Ike start to slide down the rope, Katherine also forgot the verbal war between the girls before, and asked in confusion: "The second floor is very steep?"

"Actually, it's not that scary," Panis explained: "A rock protruding from the rock wall is about five meters long and more than one meter wide. It's okay for a few people to stand on it normally, but the space is a little more empty. After you go down, if you worry, you can sit down against the rock wall, which is the safest."

Catherine's lips shook, she held Vivian back again, shook her head and sighed: "I always feel that after everyone is promoted to legend, there are not many powerful enemies, but I have encountered many natural crises that human power cannot resist. It's still the same thing, let's go down first, Lina, you can follow me later."

Lina stood at the edge of the crack, holding the Warcraft illustrations issued by the Adventurers Guild in her hand, flipping it quickly and anxiously. Catherine had already lying down the rope, but Lina didn't dare to look down from the edge of the crack, for fear of seeing something she didn't want to see. Katherine had just left for a minute, but in Lina's heart, it seemed as if she had been down for a year, and she always felt that every second was extremely long.

"You'd better worry about yourself." Freya sat on the ground with her knees in her arms, looking at the rock wall far away through the crack, and whispered: "Sister is a knight, and her balance ability is much better than you. Vivian has the ability to slow down the fall. They are the least likely to have something to happen to them, but you are the ones who make people worry."

"I'm even more okay." Lina said, pulling her silver hair: "Even if it's a cliff, as long as my feet touch the mountain, Lord Deniya will always guard me, and there is no need to worry at all."

"It's okay for you, and they won't be able to do anything about it." Freya smiled rationally: "So, just spare that book. Even if it's not a novel you like, you can't do it like this."

"They are here." Lina suddenly felt the tremor of the resonance crystal she was carrying with her close body. Her nervous expression immediately sootheed, and she said with a smile: "Then I'll go first, stupid Freya, thank you."

The descent was very smooth. Lina gently stepped on the rock wall and jumped downward. She could quickly bypass the barrier of the rock and saw Catherine and Vivian below. The three of them squeezed on a protruding rock. The rock was very flat, like a platform with a protruding rock. Although the space above was not large, it was indeed as Pannis said, which could provide six people with foothold. Lina pushed the rock wall hard and her body slid down. When she came back with the fixation of the climbing rope, she happened to arrive on the platform and held Catherine's outstretched hand.

"Come on, stand in a little bit." Catherine waved to her: "and look back at the bottom."

Lina obediently walked to the side by side with Catherine. When she turned around, she saw a scene that she would never forget for the rest of her life.

"Is this what you call the cloud layer?" Lina's expression was filled with amazement: "There is such a place in the world. I originally thought that after seeing the fog on the sea on the island, I would no longer be shocked by the fog, but I didn't expect..."
