As expected, the place where Lin Tao and others were standing was not a real exit, but a tunnel that was torn apart. Beyond the tunnel was a pitch-black abyss, and the abyss was so large that it could swallow up an entire city.
Just thinking about it, you will know how spectacular the abyss is. The three people standing at the entrance of the tunnel are like a drop in the ocean, and the bottomless abyss is like the mouth of a wild beast, arrogantly pointing straight to the sky, almost ready to swallow everything.
of everything!
Lin Tao grabbed the torn steel bars at the entrance of the tunnel and stretched his head to look around. It was originally a tunnel several hundred meters deep underground, but now it looked like it was dug out from between the mountains.
, the top of his head was still several hundred meters above the ground, and he didn’t know how deep the black abyss beneath his feet would be. But when he looked intently into the abyss, a little bit of starlight shone out from below, like a quiet building in the middle of the night.
city!
"This wind will stop soon, in ten minutes at most!" Yu Li stuck her head out from behind Tang Xue and shouted loudly to Lin Tao despite the strong wind. Lin Tao nodded and shrank back, and the three of them carefully supported her.
He followed the wall and returned to the leeward place. Yu Li was also an elite in the tribunal. She quickly adapted to Lin Tao's presence and panted slightly and said: "We have been here for almost a day and a night, and we found that the wind blows very regularly.
, blowing for an hour and stopping for twenty minutes, and then blowing and stopping again, Hogan led people down through the gap when the wind stopped, otherwise it would be impossible to get down with such a strong wind!"
"How did they get down? Did they use a rope?" Lin Tao asked with a frown.
"No, it's the wire rope on the winch!" Yu Li shook her head and said: "The people in the church found the winch and fixed it under the ground, and then their people were lowered down two by two by the wire rope.
But I heard from the captives we captured in the temple that the wire rope is not long enough, and it seems that it can only go down to half of the abyss, and the rest of the way can only be climbed slowly using rock climbing tools!"
"Since the winch is on the ground, why are you here?" Lin Tao asked strangely.
"We didn't know there was a tunnel below at first, but who knew that one of the prisoners we escorted actually ran away and crawled along the wall all the way here. Only then did we know there was such a tunnel below, so we had to chase it down.
!" Yu Li shrugged and said helplessly.
"Tao, is there really a city under the abyss? Why are there still lights on?" Tang Xue asked strangely.
"You can tell from those weak lights that there must be a city below, but I don't understand why there is still power!" Lin Tao also shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I just don't know that corpse
Is the Emperor also down there? On the one hand, it’s the temptation to control the army of zombies, and on the other hand, it’s the threat of the Corpse Emperor. This is really a headache!”
"No matter how much headache you have, it will make powerful people come after you!" Tang Xue sneered, looked at Lin Tao and said: "I am not deliberately slandering Su Yue and the others, but the temptation of being able to control the army of living corpses is enough to make everyone
It's so crazy, who can guarantee that after Su Yue really gets those magic boxes, he will benefit mankind instead of unifying mankind?"
"Then the tribunal can't get it!" Lin Tao frowned and said solemnly.
"That's not what I meant!" Tang Xue shook her head with a wry smile, understanding that Lin Tao had a deep grudge against the Holy Light's Inquisition, so she had to go up and hold him in his arms and said: "What I mean is that it is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Instead of pinning your hopes on
Why can't we take things into our own hands when it comes to others? No matter what you want to do, we will support you!"
"You don't understand. Those boxes are not as simple as you think. Controlling the zombie army is just an illusion on the surface. Their real purpose is to open the door to hell and release those terrible demons from hell!" Lin Tao looked heavy.
She shook her head, then patted the confused Tang Xue, and said: "I must get the box, but I will only destroy them all! Okay, Yu Li, take us to the wire rope quickly, let's go down now!"
"
Yu Li took Lin Tao and the others towards the exit without saying anything. When they arrived at the exit, the hurricane stopped, and these evil hurricanes came and went faster. In the blink of an eye, Lin Tao could hardly even feel the air.
It flows, and everything is quiet, as if nothing has ever happened!
Needless to say, the skills of the three of them were great. Even without any climbing tools, they climbed up the steep mountain wall without any problems. The wire rope was not far from the entrance of the cave. It only took about ten minutes for the three of them to climb over using their hands and feet.
Soon it will be as thick as a little finger
The thin wire rope appeared in front of them. Yu Li climbed up first, but Tang Xue shouted to her: "Yu Li, just go to the ground. If someone comes back along the wire rope, be prepared."
Don't let anyone cut off our retreat!"
"Okay! I will start the winch in ten minutes!" Yu Li nodded, glanced at Lin Tao with a complicated expression, and then climbed up to the ground without hesitation.
After Yu Li climbed up, Tang Xue immediately climbed up the steel wire rope. Lin Tao followed closely and climbed up using both hands and feet. Although the steel wire rope was thin, it felt very strong in the hand. The two of them were lifted by half a ton.
There was no problem for those who didn't reach it. Tang Xue climbed down a little and looked down at Lin Tao below. Lin Tao smiled at her and said, "Xue'er, are you afraid?"
"Afraid! I'm afraid that you will bully me in the future and not love me!" Tang Xue smiled happily and looked at Lin Tao coquettishly.
"As long as you are obedient from now on, it's not too late for me to love you!" Lin Tao smiled and winked, then stretched out his hand to hold Tang Xue's calf and said seriously: "Xue'er, we all need to live well and do things after we get down.
Don't be impulsive, I still expect you to give birth to a bunch of fat boys for me in the future!"
"You think I'm a pig, and you're so exaggerated!" Tang Xue gave Lin Tao an angry look, and smiled extremely sweetly.
"Buzz~"
The wire rope suddenly trembled, and a machine humming sound came from above the two people's heads. However, the wire rope only tentatively lowered it for a little bit and then stopped. After Yu Li on the ground listened and found nothing unusual, the wire rope started again.
With a slight shake, the slow descent finally began!
Lin Tao grabbed the wire rope tightly and looked down. Although he knew that there was an abyss below, he didn't know how deep it was. He only felt that the wire rope kept falling, and kept falling. The cliff above his head was no longer visible, and even blurred.
Not a single outline could be seen, and even the originally starry sky was quietly disappearing into the darkness. Lin Tao soon discovered that it was not that the abyss was too deep, but that a thin layer of white mist had arisen around it!
"Tao! It doesn't seem like the poisonous mist!" Tang Xue naturally discovered the white mist, held her breath very cautiously, and gently inhaled a little into the nose. There was no sour smell like the poisonous mist, and Lin Tao
He also nodded and said: "Indeed it's not, it's just ordinary white mist!"
After Lin Tao finished speaking, he freed his hand to take out the flashlight, and set the flashlight to long-range spotlight mode to shine downwards. Although the white fog was not too thick, the flashlight still could not reach the bottom, but Lin Tao discovered the cliffs around him.
It has quietly changed from the soil layer to the rock layer. This place was torn apart when Nanzhou City fell into the abyss. It was like a wafer that was broken hard. Not only was it ups and downs, but even the
The colors are also different layer by layer.
Lin Tao didn't know how many meters the winch had lowered, but in order to ensure that nothing happened to them, Yu Li deliberately lowered the speed very slowly. A full ten minutes passed without any intention of stopping, and Lin Tao occasionally passed through the thin
Looking down through the white mist, the city hidden at the bottom of the abyss seems to be still so far away, and the little lights have not changed at all!
"Hoo~"
A strong wind blew suddenly, and Lin Tao immediately made a "thump" in his heart. He knew that the damn evil wind was going to blow again, and it would blow for a whole hour. He hurriedly wrapped the drooping wire rope around his waist.
, raised his head and shouted to Tang Xue above: "Tang Xue! The wind is blowing, please hold on tight!"
"Got it!" Tang Xue tightened the wire rope in her hand, and even her legs were tightly wrapped around the wire rope. But while the two were talking, the wind force suddenly increased several times, and the two of them were immediately tilted by the strong wind.
He blew out a big blow, and everyone hurriedly turned their heads away, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to open their eyes.
The strong wind whizzed past the two of them one after another, even more violent than when they stood at the exit before. Lin Tao was like a kite swinging with the wind, being blown left and right by the strong wind, and would spin up from time to time.
After one or two turns, he was not worried that the wire rope would break out.
After all, so many people had come down before, but he couldn't help but wonder, did those who went down, including Su Yue and the others, really go down to the bottom of the abyss? Would they be trapped on the way, unable to go up or down, or simply
Falling to death while climbing a cliff?
"Gah..."
The wire rope suddenly trembled heavily, and the downward trend immediately stopped. He hurriedly exerted all his strength like a swing, and swung the two of them behind a large rock sheltered from the wind before they stabilized their swaying figures. He grabbed a piece with one hand.
The rock looked down. The dark abyss seemed to have no end. He had no choice but to take out the dagger from his waist and insert it into the crack of the rock!
But at this moment, as soon as it was too late, Lin Tao had just tightened the dagger in his hand, and the steel wire rope in their hands suddenly loosened, and was swung down like a soft snake, and the Tang Dynasty above his head
Xue screamed in surprise, and instantly her whole body hit Lin Tao's shoulder and fell heavily!
"Grab the rope..."
Lin Tao roared with eyes split open, and even grabbed several times without catching Tang Xue's body. Tang Xue fell down very fast like a weight. Fortunately, she panicked and wrapped her legs tightly around the wire rope.
, Lin Tao only felt the wire rope around his waist tighten suddenly, and the dagger inserted in the rock made a "click" sound, and was broken by the huge force of the fall!
Lin Tao was dragged down by Tang Xue and fell very quickly, but at the critical moment, he grabbed a protruding rock. The wire rope immediately straightened with a "buzz" sound. Lin Tao groaned in pain and grabbed the rock.
The nail on my right hand broke open and I almost lost my hand!
"Hurry...climb up..."
Lin Tao dug into the rock with one hand and held on to the wire rope with the other. His clenched teeth even made the veins on his forehead pop out. However, Tang Xue's situation was very critical at this time. Only one of her legs was entangled with the wire rope.
Suddenly, the whole person fell into the air in a large shape, and the raging wind made it worse. Tang Xue's body was blown back and forth and she could not raise her waist to climb up.
"Husband! I can't do it..."
Tang Xue tried several times but was unable to grab the wire rope, and a large amount of blood rushed to her head, making her face flush and her head buzzing.
"Don't give up... give up, Xue'er, you will definitely be able to do it..."
Lin Tao said these words through his teeth. He only had three fingers clasping the rock, and his whole right hand was trembling violently.
"husband……"
Tang Xue shook her head sadly and shouted in pain: "Xue'er is not lucky enough to accompany you for the rest of the journey. You are not worthy of dying with me. Give up Xue'er! Please..."
"fart……"
Lin Tao gritted his teeth and cursed, and shouted sharply: "Tang Xue! Cheer up for me, if you die, I will die with you. I will never give up on you no matter what!"
"Husband! I'm sorry, Xue'er can't listen to you anymore this time..."
Tang Xue shook her head in pain. Under Lin Tao's surprised gaze, she actually pulled out the pistol from her waist, pointed it straight at her temple, looked at Lin Tao and said with a sad smile: "Husband, goodbye...
