On the top of the mountain, in front of the cliff.γγ
Pang Zhenbei estimated the time and said to Chai Yan: "Taoist Master, Xu Shi has almost passed. Can we go down the mountain?"
Chai Yan nodded and said, "Well, let everyone fix the ropes and go down carefully."
"Understood." Pang Zhenbei agreed and then turned around to make arrangements.
Then, Chai Yan called Cheng Jiu over and asked, "You are the first to go and take the lead. Is there any problem?"
"No problem." Cheng Jiu did not hesitate, even a little excited.
Yu Tie probably heard it, and immediately ran over to Chai Yan and patted his chest: "Uh-huh, uh-huh!"
Chai Yan understood what he meant at a glance and said: "Okay, okay, I understand, I understand, you are second, okay?"
Yu Tie was so happy that he immediately saluted Chai Yan with clasped fists and walked away happily.
After a while, Pang Zhenbei suddenly ran over, frowned and asked: "Taoist Master, let me go down first."
Chai Yan said: "General Pang, please come with me to the rear this time. Once you sneak into the enemy's rear, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to be the vanguard."
Pang Zhenbei was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it he nodded and agreed.
In the following time, the soldiers of the elite team tied a hemp rope as thick as an adult's forearm tightly to a big tree on the top of the mountain, and then threw the remaining part off the cliff.
This thick hemp rope has been lengthened and thickened. It hangs from the cliff at the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain below. It will only be longer but not shorter.
After Cheng Jiu, Pang Zhenbei and others tested the strength and firmness of the rope, everyone was ready to start going down the mountain.
"Brothers, before going down, let's drink some holy water to make sure everything is safe." Chai Yan said loudly.
After the words fell, everyone in the elite team picked up the bamboo tube hanging on their waist, pulled out the stopper and drank.
These bamboo tubes are specially used to contain the holy water of martial arts, so that everyone can replenish the holy water at any time to ensure that the body protection effect can last forever.
After finishing the drink, Cheng Jiu was the first to stand on the edge of the cliff, followed closely by Yu Tie.
Chai Yan warned: "Don't be anxious when you go down. If anything happens, call immediately."
"Yes, I understand." Cheng Jiu nodded solemnly.
Then, Cheng Jiu bent down to pick up the hemp rope, and then carefully moved it down the cliff.
"Be careful." Pang Zhenbei couldn't help but remind Cheng Jiu.
Cheng Jiu smiled slightly: "Don't worry."
After a moment, Cheng Jiu's figure disappeared beside the cliff.
Yu Tie kept sticking his head out to look. It wasn't until he saw Cheng Jiu walking some distance away that he turned back to look at Chai Yan.
Chai Yan immediately nodded, and Yu Tie also went down along the rope.
Next, the members of the elite team also began to line up and go down the cliff one by one.
"Those behind, hold on to the rope...those in front, follow carefully and keep your distance."
Pang Zhenbei directed very responsibly.
Chai Yan stood behind everyone. He pulled the rope hard to prevent the big tree holding the rope from being uprooted due to the heavy burden.
At this time, a strong cold wind suddenly blew, and everyone felt the chill instantly.
The strong wind also dispersed some of the dark clouds in the sky, and the moon poked its head out from the gaps in the clouds. The bright white moonlight immediately fell on the cliff on the top of the mountain, illuminating the ground.
While pulling the rope, Pang Zhenbei raised his head to look at the moon, and then said with some excitement: "Look, everyone, the Moon God is here to help us!"
As a native of the Muyue Kingdom, Pang Zhenbei is also a believer in the Haoyue God. He feels that the Haoyue God's light at this time must be supporting and helping them, which is a good sign.
These words immediately won everyone's approval and boosted everyone's morale. Except for Chai Yan, everyone thanked Haoyue Shen one after another.
Suddenly, Shangguan Peining's voice appeared in Chai Yan's mind: "These idiots should be grateful to me."
Chai Yan couldn't help but be curious and asked in his heart: "Master Shangguan, when did you start caring about these things? It's not like your style."
Shangguan Peining said: "I don't care, I just think it's ridiculous. Without my help, how could they pass through the poisonous fog, how dare they climb down from this cliff? In the end, they were thanking such an insubstantial bright moon.
God, even if these people worship you, I will feel more comfortable than I do now."
Chai Yan couldn't help but smile and said: "Master Shangguan, since they can't thank you, then I can thank you for them."
"Hey! That's not necessary! If you want to thank me, you can only speak with practical actions." Shangguan Peining's tone suddenly became higher.
"I said, what do you want to do?" Chai Yan frowned slightly.
Shangguan Peining asked back: "What do you think?"
Chai Yan said: "Shangguan Peining, didn't I get a lot of blood for you last time? Why did it all run out?"
"Nonsense! Do I think there is too much blood?" Shangguan Peining said loudly.
Chai Yan curled his lips and said, "Let me tell you, where do you want me to find blood for you at this time?"
"I didn't say I wanted it now! When you go down and go around to the rear of the Pitz people, there aren't many of them there." There was a hint of cunning in Shangguan Peining's tone.
Chai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood: "Shangguan Peining, you really never suffer a loss. I said that no matter what I ask you for during this period, you are so ready and frightening that I am playing a long-term game."
Big fish!"
"Don't say that..." Shangguan Peining said calmly: "Chai Yan, I am one and the same with you. If you are good to me, I will be fine. Are you right?"
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right." Chai Yan shook his head helplessly.
Time passed slowly, and the members of the elite team also went down the mountain one by one.
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie, who were the first to go down, had successfully reached the bottom of the cliff after half an hour of descending. The team members behind them were also approaching the ground one by one.
On the top of the cliff, Pang Zhenbei waited for the last team member to go down, and then said to Chai Yan: "Taoist Master, you go first, and I will follow."
Chai Yan did not refuse, and agreed readily. Then he grasped the hemp rope tightly and began to move down bit by bit.
"I'll go, luckily it's night now, it's so dark below the cliff that I can't see anything, otherwise I would definitely be afraid of heights." Chai Yan muttered in his heart.
Shangguan Peining said contemptuously: "It's not embarrassing for a grown man to be so timid."
Chai Yan was not convinced and said to himself: "Do you think I want to be afraid of heights? Fear of heights is innate and belongs to human instinct. Do you understand this instinct?"
Shangguan Peining immediately said: "Understood! Don't you just want to say that timidity is your instinct..."
"You...I...well, I can't tell you..." Chai Yan was so angry that he was too lazy to argue with Guan Peining.
Chai Yan's quick defeat made Shangguan Peining so proud that he immediately laughed, and the sound of "hehehe" filled his mind.
By the time Chai Yan and Pang Zhen went north to the bottom of the cliff, it was already the end of Haishi.
Chai Yan came to the middle of the crowd and ordered in a low voice: "Count the number of people immediately and check the items and equipment."
After a while, the head count was completed, no one was left behind, and the kerosene and other items they carried were intact.
Chai Yan called Pang Zhenbei and asked: "General Pang, you are most familiar with the terrain here. Which direction should we go next?"
Pang Zhenbei had already determined the direction on the way down, and when Chai Yan asked, he immediately agreed.
"Taoist Master, we should continue to go west, try to stay away from the Pitz camp and go around to their rear." Pang Zhenbei pointed to the west in the dark night.
Chai Yan was very trusting and nodded immediately and said: "Listen, everyone, put out the torches in your hands. Next, General Pang will lead the team, and we will continue to the west."
The next moment, the light of the torches at the bottom of the cliff went out one after another.
Soon after, the elite team of thirty people left the place and quietly entered the depths of the night...
