Chapter 258: Bravely Crossing the Chain Bridge
The few remaining people also climbed out of the blasted hole. When they saw the spectacular scene in front of them, they couldn't help but sigh.
I really don’t know how the people who built this tomb found such a wonderfully crafted place.
Hu Jiu walked to the iron rope and looked down. He couldn't see the bottom of the cliff below at all. If he accidentally slipped and fell, he would definitely fall to pieces.
At this time, Scarface came over shamelessly and made a gesture of invitation to Mo Shouchen.
Mo Shouchen raised his middle finger at him. His face darkened and he was about to get angry, but when he thought that Mo Shouchen still needed to explore the way, he spit on the ground and cursed: "You don't have to fight with me now.
You will cry soon!"
Mo Shouchen snorted disdainfully, and then walked to Tiesuo.
There are four iron ropes connecting the platforms on both sides, two at the top and two at the bottom. The two bottom iron ropes are connected by iron chains to form a flat rope ladder.
Mo Shouchen grabbed the two upper iron chains with both hands, and then stepped on the lower iron chain with one foot.
When his other foot left the ground, the iron chain began to shake violently, which scared him and quickly stepped back.
Mo Shouchen patted his chest and said, "No, this iron rope is too shaky, I can't climb it!"
Scarface, who seized the opportunity to retaliate, walked up behind Mo Shouchen with an engineer shovel, and then threatened: "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here and crawl away, or I'll kick you down!"
"What are you shouting for? Have you forgotten that you were scared to death by a ghost just now?"
Mo Shouchen had been holding back his scar face for a long time, and now he couldn't help but burst out. Anyway, the terrain here was favorable to him, and he was not afraid of completely breaking up with these tomb robbers.
"Now that we are all in the same boat, there is no reason to argue!"
Mr. Tuesday rarely said a word to help Mo Shouchen. It seemed that he had realized that in this situation, one more person would bring more strength.
"Mantis, please help this little brother tie the safety rope. Brother Si, please hold on to the iron rope for a while so that it won't be too swaying."
Following Master Zhou's instructions, Mantis took out the climbing rope from his backpack and tied it around Mo Shouchen's waist.
When tying the rope, the two of them were almost touching each other. Mo Shouchen smelled a body fragrance from Mantis that was not mixed with any cosmetics or perfume, and the hormones in his body surged up instantly.
However, he knew that this mantis was not easy to mess with and might lose his head, so he raised his head and cast his gaze into the distance, trying to distract himself.
But the moment he looked up, he noticed that something seemed to be crawling on the cliff. However, when he looked at it with a flashlight, he found that there was nothing there.
Could it be that I am dazzled?
He rubbed his eyes, then used the flashlight to expand the area and search again, but still found nothing.
Maybe it was because I stayed in a dark environment for too long, so there were blurry images in my vision.
Mantis tied the other end of the climbing rope with a live buckle on the iron rope, so that if Mo Shouchen lost his footing and fell from the iron rope, he would only be hanging in mid-air and would not fall directly off the cliff.
After tying the safety rope, Lao Si and Hu Jiu stood on one side holding the upper iron rope with their hands and stepping on the lower iron rope with their feet.
This time when Mo Shouchen stepped onto the iron rope again, he was no longer as wobbly as before.
Mo Shouchen walked forward cautiously while holding the iron rope. He did not dare to lower his head to look at the cliff at his feet, but the cool breeze blowing up from below still gave him goosebumps.
Although there was a safety rope tied to his body, who knew whether Mantis was tied tightly or not? Mo Shouchen did not dare to risk his life on the hands of others.
When he reached the middle section, the swaying of the iron rope began to become obvious again. He felt that his legs were shaking and the soles of his feet were a little cramped.
He had no choice but to stop and rest for a while. After the cramping feeling disappeared, he continued walking.
In the second half of the journey, Mo Shouchen moved almost bit by bit. By the time he reached the opposite platform, his clothes were soaked with sweat.
His legs kept shaking and he couldn't stand up at all, so he could only kneel on the ground and gasp for air.
He didn't know whether it was because his clothes were wet or for some other reason, but he felt cold all over and his upper body was shaking uncontrollably.
After a while, Mo Shouchen, who had regained his composure, stood up. He looked back at the people on the opposite platform, and then cautiously walked to the stone gate.
The stone door on this side is the same as the stone door at the tunnel entrance, but one of the double stone doors is half open.
Mo Shouchen took a flashlight and looked into the door. It seemed that there was a tunnel inside. I really don't know what the person who designed this tomb was thinking. Why did they make such a long tunnel? It would be too troublesome to move it around.
Seeing that there was no problem, Mo Shouchen waved to the opposite side, indicating that they could come over.
Originally, Hu Jiu was already preparing to tie the safety rope, but Master Zhou stopped him and told him to let the fourth child go over first. He would hold the ropes on both sides to make it more stable.
But Hu Jiu knew in his heart that Mr. Zhou was actually afraid that he and Mo Shouchen would join forces to guard the other end of the rope and prevent them from passing.
The fourth child walked directly onto the iron rope without tying a safety rope. His steps were light and his chassis was stable. The iron rope did not sway at all as he moved, as if no one was on it.
Seeing this scene, Mo Shouchen began to wonder if this fourth child was a weightless ghost.
After the fourth child came over, it was Hu Jiu's turn. Because there were people supporting him on both sides, the iron rope was not as swaying as when Mo Shouchen walked.
In order to save time, when Hu Jiu was halfway there, Tuesday Ye also tied the safety rope and stepped on the iron rope.
But as soon as Lord Zhou walked a few steps away, Mo Shouchen, who had been paying attention to the cliff opposite, noticed that there were several dark figures climbing down against the cliff opposite, and were about to climb to the platform opposite.
Only then did he realize that it was not his eyes that were dazzled just now, but that there was really something on the cliff.
He shined his flashlight towards the opposite side and found that the black shadows were the same thing as the ghostly shadows that were attached to Scarface's feet before, and there were four of them this time.
It seemed that they were afraid of the hair mound marks on Master Zhou, so they lurked until Master Zhou climbed up the iron rope before appearing.
When Mo Shouchen shined his flashlight at the cliff opposite, Lao Si also noticed the ghost on it, and he immediately shouted: "Scarface, be careful with your head!"
Scarface was holding on to the iron rope. When he heard Lao Si calling him, he quickly raised his head and looked up.
When he saw several black figures climbing down the cliff, he trembled with fright and exclaimed with a pale face: "Oh my God! The ghost is coming!"
