"I do have a way, which is a bit risky." Just when Chen Ziyan gave up looking for Tianliang in his memory and planned to find another path, Chen Wenjin suddenly said.
Chen Ziyan immediately looked at her and asked: "What can I do?"
Chen Wenjin took out a gun-shaped instrument from his backpack and said: "This is it, a super long-distance thrower. I visually checked our distance from the remaining surface of the broken bridge. It should not be more than two hundred meters. We are right at this throw point."
Within the range of the thrower, it may be possible to use the thrower to make a simple zipline."
Because she has been practicing the nine-claw hook passed down from her family since she was a child, Chen Ziyan also has a high level of control over this type of instrument. Therefore, in order to face the extreme situations she may encounter, she specially found a skilled craftsman early on to customize this device.
A thrower that performs far better than conventional products on the market.
"Zipline?" Chen Ziyan looked at the heavy and delicate metal thrower in Chen Wenjin's hand, looking thoughtful.
He had to admit that this was a very constructive proposal and it was also highly implementable.
If a zipline can be set up between the stone platform and the broken bridge, then they don't need to go down to the depths of the sea of clouds, and can use the zipline to reach Huangyu Peak.
The only problem with this method, as Chen Wenjin also pointed out, is that it requires taking certain risks.
Whether the anchor hook can be fixed and whether the broken bridge can bear the weight of the human body are all issues that need to be considered. No matter what link occurs, people on the zipline will face an extremely bad situation.
After all, once the zipline breaks, the people on it will not return to the stone platform, but will be pushed directly onto the rock wall below by inertia. In this way, they may be severely hit, or they may fall directly into the unknown depth of the sea of clouds.
ri.
Of course, only the first person to pass through needs to bear this risk, which is why Chen Wenjin describes this operation as risky rather than dangerous.
As long as one person successfully reaches the broken bridge, the anchor hook can be re-strengthened, so that those behind do not have to worry about these problems.
But this is for other people. Chen Ziyan is the person who is least afraid of this kind of thing. He really thinks that his carefully crafted puppet armor is just a decoration.
Whether it hits the rock wall directly with inertia or falls from the air by mistake, these are not enough to completely destroy the puppet armor. Chen Ziyan only needs to tie the puppet armor's torso with a rope to ensure that the core will not be lost. This way, even if
If an accident does occur, the loss can be minimized.
This kind of loss is completely within Chen Ziyan's acceptance range. In his opinion, it is much more cost-effective than directly using his companions to take risks.
"I think we can try it. The section of the broken bridge over there is not smooth due to the fracture. Even if it cannot be used for a long time, it is still no problem to bear the weight of a person for a short time." Shirley Yang simply simulated it in her mind.
After thinking about it for a while, I also thought that this method that Chen Wenjin came up with could be tried.
Firstly, as long as the angle of the zipline is adjusted, the passing speed will be relatively fast. Secondly, the weight of the girls is very light, which will greatly reduce the burden on the anchor hook. As long as you seize the opportunity, you can successfully reach the broken bridge. p>
The first thing Shirley Yang thought of was herself. She felt that there was no other person present who was more suitable to do this than herself.
And she is very aware of her situation. Her body has undergone obvious changes due to being too close to the source of the curse. Time is extremely precious to her at this time.
Chen Ziyan could naturally hear the subtext in her words, and immediately refused: "This method is indeed worth trying, but Shirley, you are not suitable."
"Why?" Shirley Yang looked at Chen Ziyan in confusion.
Although the three women in the team all met the conditions, she did not think that the other two were more suitable than herself for this matter.
But meeting the conditions is only the most basic. To achieve the highest success rate, more depends on other abilities. In these aspects, Shirley Yang does not feel that she is inferior to others at all.
"Your reaction ability and experience are indeed sufficient for this task, but..." When Chen Ziyan said this, he paused slightly: "But we can't just think about success, we also need to consider the consequences of failure, your physical strength
We cannot bear the consequences."
Chen Ziyan's words were not scaremongering, and even falling from the air and hitting the rock wall were not something Shirley Yang could bear.
And there is another reason he didn't say, that is because of the influence of the curse, Shirley Yang's current situation is no longer at its peak. It usually has no effect, but if it happens at a critical moment, it will be troublesome, so this point also needs to be paid attention to.
of.
The corners of Shirley Yang's mouth twitched: "Are you serious?"
Isn’t this reason too far-fetched?
She didn't know that Chen Ziyan had decided to let Puppet A take the risk, and she thought he wanted to use Chen Wenjin or Huo Ling to explore the way.
According to Shirley Yang's understanding of Chen Ziyan, he can definitely do this kind of thing, and he can still feel at ease. This is one of the reasons why she took the initiative to indicate that she would explore the way.
"Of course." Chen Ziyan nodded without changing his expression.
He also knew that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't think of a more reasonable excuse for a while, so he could only use this to deal with it temporarily.
"Master Chen, I wonder who you would like to do this?" Hu Bayi glanced at Huahu inadvertently and deliberately changed the subject.
According to Chen Ziyan's consistent performance during this period, the most likely candidate at this time will undoubtedly be Huahu.
"Huahu, his body is strong enough, his weight is light, and he is agile. He is the most suitable person for this...'person." Chen Ziyan decisively followed the steps handed to him by Hu Bayi and gave his own explanation.
The answer.
"Huahu? Can he really do it?" Shirley Yang did not expect this answer. She looked at the silent Huahu next to her in surprise.
Although Huahu looks very thin, Shirley Yang knows that with his athletic ability, being thin does not mean being thin. He is definitely heavier than women like them, which means that the burden on the zipline is also greater.
.
Chen Ziyan showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, you can trust him in this aspect."
Huahu is indeed heavier than Shirley Yang and others, but the weight is limited, so there is absolutely no problem in doing this.
"Okay, if you really insist." Shirley Yang was a little helpless, but seeing Chen Ziyan's firm attitude, she had no choice but to agree.
"Since everyone agrees, let's start taking action." Chen Ziyan said immediately after hearing this.
Although he made his own decision without asking other people, in fact no one would object. After all, Huahu, the person involved, had no objections. What other opinions could they, who were 'sitting back and enjoying the success', have?
Chen Wenjin can do the job of controlling the thrower by herself, but this does not mean that she has to do the entire zipline construction work alone. Others can do the work such as fixing the anchor points of the zipline.
Chen Wenjin's mastery of equipment such as throwing machines is indeed very high. He only failed once and successfully fixed the anchor hook on the broken bridge in the distance.
Chen Ziyan grabbed the zipline and tried it. He felt that the anchor hook was firmly fixed, so he waved to Hua Hu next to him, indicating that he could start taking action.
As a puppet, Huahu didn't know what fear was. After receiving the order from Chen Ziyan, he immediately retreated towards the passage at the back, then accelerated his run-up, grabbed the sliding bolt on the zipline and headed towards the broken bridge.
.
Chen Ziyan and others watched Huahu without blinking as soon as his footsteps left the ground. They held a climbing rope tightly with both hands. Whenever an accident occurred, they would use this climbing rope to pull Huahu tied at the other end.
Come back.
Fortunately, what they were worried about did not happen. Under the watchful eyes of Chen Ziyan and others, the flower fox landed on the broken bridge smoothly.
The flower fox that landed on the broken bridge ran quickly towards the Huangyu Mountain Peak behind it as soon as it landed, and did not stop until it reached the platform on the top of the mountain.
Chen Ziyan and the others will not keep staring at the broken bridge. Even if there is no problem when the Huahu lands on it, it does not mean that there will be no problems for so many of them. So for the sake of safety, they plan to successfully reach the opposite side after the Huahu
Then, re-fix the anchor point on the platform of Huangyu Peak.
Things went very smoothly. After the initial difficulty was overcome, the rest became a natural success.
Not long after, the group of people stood on the platform of Huangyu Peak. After looking around, Chen Ziyan found that he still couldn't see the situation below clearly. The platform of Huangyu Peak was all surrounded by cloud-like stone smoke, blocking the view.
Catching their gaze downwards.
However, the material of this topaz peak is very special. It is not the special crystal he originally expected, but a special material that looks like both crystal and fossil.
Moreover, the top of the platform has different colors, and those slightly darker lines actually form a specious human face pattern, but there are no traces of artificial construction. Obviously, this slightly old human face pattern is a product of natural formation. When everyone temporarily dispersed the stone smoke around the platform, they discovered a man-made staircase built around the mountain, with a width of about one meter.
"It looks like we have a way to go down now." After looking at the stairs and sighing, Chen Ziyan took the lead and walked down.
They have taken protective measures now, and it will not be a problem to enter the stone smoke, so naturally they will not hesitate too much.
The end of the stairs is halfway up the mountain. A square space has been dug out of the mountain. In the center of the space are two pools with ferocious ghosts carved on the walls. There are also dozens of vigorous and simple white stone statues on both sides.
These stone figures are slightly taller than ordinary people, and they all hold a huge stone utensil in their hands.
They had seen this special utensil on human skin scrolls, and it had appeared in sacrificial rituals, and was used to hold gouged eyeballs.
This discovery made everyone feel refreshed, because it meant that they had not found the wrong place, and this was probably the location of the altar.
Behind the pool, that is, deep in the square space, there is a human-shaped groove. Judging from the shape, it should be a place for execution. It may have been soaked in blood over time. The stone groove has changed from light yellow to deep red, and the light is bright.
Just by looking at this stone trough, you can imagine how cruel killings were carried out here.
Chen Ziyan saw that Shirley Yang's face became a little gloomy after seeing the human-shaped stone trough, so he asked aloud: "Shirley, did you find anything?"
He knew that Shirley Yang must have discovered something like this, and it was a bad kind.
Shirley Yang took a deep breath and said slowly: "If my guess is correct, this stone trough represents that if you want to hold a sacrificial ceremony, you need to kill the sacrifice and use it as a key. This key is probably what it means."
Blood."
She didn't think that any gods were really paying attention here, but thought that the stone trough in front of her was a mechanism that could only be opened by filling the stone trough with blood.
If they cannot come up with a suitable solution, they will most likely stop there.
This kind of mechanism is very simple, but it is also the most difficult type to crack, because if you want to interfere with the operation, you must enter the mountain.
"Is this a mechanism?" Chen Ziyan also heard the meaning, and he asked: "Can't we find a way to crack it?"
"It's not difficult to crack this kind of mechanism, but we don't have the suitable materials at hand right now." Shirley Yang shook her head gently.
This mechanism is really easy to crack. You only need to find a liquid that can replace blood, fill the human-shaped stone tank in front of you, and you can naturally open it.
But the problem lies in this. They are now in the middle of nowhere, and there is no place to look for them.
"Isn't water good?" Wang Kaixuan looked into the pool and saw that it was not dry, so he couldn't help but said.
"No." It was Hu Bayi who answered him. He told Wang Kaixuan: "The key to this kind of mechanism lies in the density of human blood. There should be a special device underneath. It will only work if the pressure reaches the standard. The density of water cannot do it."
To this point."
Black Glasses touched his chin at this time and said: "I have heard of a secret recipe before that can mix animal blood to meet the requirements, but the material is a problem."
"Let's go back quickly. There are so many fish in the wind-eroded lake above, there will definitely be enough for us." When Wang Kaixuan heard what he said, he immediately thought of the fish in the wind-eroded lake.
The white-bearded old fish and the striped dragon are difficult to deal with, but those ordinary fish are completely fine. When the time comes, we can get some big fish to bleed, and this mechanism can be opened.
Wang Kaixuan's words reminded Chen Ziyan, and he suddenly thought of the intricate water system here. It seemed that there were some underground water areas under the sea of clouds. If they wanted to use fish blood to open the mechanism, they did not need to return to the ground to catch fish in the wind-eroded lake, they could go directly below.
That’s it.
But there are risks in this. He doesn't know other places under the sea of clouds, but the bottom of the Yellow Jade Peak is not a good place. There are countless sacrificed corpses abandoned around the peak. It doesn't matter that there is a mountain of corpses below.
Passed.
"The water in this pool doesn't seem to be water." At this moment, Black Glasses suddenly said.
When Chen Ziyan looked over, he found that he was gently stirring the liquid in the pool with a dagger.
Although the pool looks like a clear pool, it turns out to be extremely viscous when stirred. It is obvious that the liquid in the pool is not just spring water.
