On the afternoon of the fourth day after going up the mountain, we arrived at the bottom of Yanya Prison Mountain earlier than expected.
Mo Shuruo and the two followed the traces of the team of people and horses, and walked to the rocky hills. When they looked up, they saw two towering mountains, towering into the clouds, as if someone had chopped them down with an axe, forming a spectacular scenery. People were amazed.
At that moment, a shabby iron cable bridge suddenly appeared on the mountainside, crossing the two mountains.
The weather was very clear that day, and Mo Shuruo could clearly see the direction of the mountain. The Yanya Prison Mountain almost sank into the ground, like a mountain spirit that got stuck and fell backwards, all thanks to this iron cable bridge.
He held on to prevent him from completely turning over. The mountainside was surrounded by thick fog, which was bottomless. And the only way to the other side was the chain bridge.
I said bad in my heart, "There is only one chain bridge on the mountainside leading to the other side. These people won't destroy the road for the sake of treasure..."
Yanjue lowered his feet and took one step at a time. It was really difficult to walk. As he approached the main mountain, the roads were paved with stones. Cabbage was not allowed to come up. For him, it was even more fatal. Uncle Mo couldn't bear it, but he didn't know what to do.
Help him, simply walk back, muster up the courage to hold his hand.
Yan Jue was stunned for a moment, then continued on his way following Mo Shuruo's footsteps.
"Don't worry, since they are here for the money, they will not cut off their own escape."
After thinking about it, it seems to be the truth.
Although Yan can't see anything, his hearing is extraordinary and his reaction ability is extremely fast. Just based on the weight of Mo Shuruo's footsteps, he can roughly know the distance between two rocks and the height difference. Unlike a newly blind person, he is not afraid of the dark.
Instead of shrinking back, use your hearing to quickly construct the scene in front of you in your mind. Sometimes you may see wider than anyone who can see.
Not long after catching up with the group of dozens of people, we soon reached the mountainside chain bridge.
Everyone stopped at the bridge and did not dare to move anymore. They chattered for a while.
Because this bridge has been exposed to wind and rain for decades, it is stained with rust, and the wooden boards on the bridge deck have almost disappeared. Although the people who come here have martial arts, the distance between the two mountains is tens of feet wide, no matter how powerful the person is,
You can't fly across it either. This is clearly the Naihe Bridge. Who dares to walk across it?
The two passed through the crowd. Mo Shuruo grabbed Yan Jue who was walking forward and whispered: "The bridge deck is rotten and many have fallen off the cliff. It seems that it is impossible to cross. Let's go back..." Mo Shuruo
Shuruo can be said to be smiling from the bottom of his heart. God is really helping me!
He stretched out his hand and knocked on the nearby iron chain, then turned his head and said, "This bridge is indeed dangerous, but I got through it. You stay here and wait for me."
"Eh……"
Mo Shuruo reached out to grab it, but he had already jumped onto the guardrail.
Everyone exclaimed, too scared to move. It was rare for someone to dare to test the water. When they reacted, they held their breath and waited to see.
Yanjue's figure is light, standing with one foot on the guardrail, the mountain breeze blows, her white clothes are fluttering, like a god.
He closed his eyes and threw a handful of something, which echoed when it hit the iron chain board. Mo Shuruo only heard a strange ringing sound coming from the mountain wind, like the knocking of countless things mixed together.
Suddenly, Yanjue took off, flipped upside down in the air and threw a handful towards the bridge further ahead. Seeing that he needed to put more effort before he could jump again, Mo Shuruo was so frightened that he forgot to breathe.
Compared to the onlookers, Yan Jue himself felt very relaxed. His toes landed on the junction of the wooden plank and the iron rope, and he immediately flew forward like a butterfly dancing in the air. When the momentum gradually slowed down, he easily landed on a solid wooden plank.
superior.
The whole world suddenly became quiet. Dozens of people did not make a move. They could only hear the creaking sound of the iron ropes shaking in the canyon.
Uncle Mo stared intently at the figure in white who was already a third of the way away, fearing that he would disappear from sight the next moment.
However, the scene he feared did not happen, the bridge did not break, and no one fell down. Yan Jue used his method to quickly jump twenty feet. This distance was frightening.
Mo Shuruo grasped the chain beside him and stepped onto the bridge.
How could it be possible for her to wait here for something like this...
After walking about ten steps, she felt that her calves felt weak. The mountain wind continued, and the fog slowly swallowed up the bridge deck at the other end. The retreating Yan Jue also gradually disappeared into the fog.
This situation of being unable to get up or down was really terrifying. Mo Shuruo held on to the iron chain tightly, and could feel the iron chain shaking from time to time, and his heart dropped. Fortunately, his side was safe.
Two people got on it one after another, but nothing happened. Everyone looked at each other, as if they thought the bridge could be walked.
The cliffs were connected by a thin line. Mo Shuruo was sweating profusely and tried his best to only look at the wooden boards and iron ropes that could be stepped on. When she walked to the place where Yan Jue had just stood, she suddenly felt that the iron bridge began to shake violently. She looked back
, those people who were desperate for their lives actually lined up one by one to prepare to cross the bridge.
"You don't want your life!"
It was originally a dangerous bridge, but forty or fifty people were on board at once...
It's a pity that no one listens to her words.
It is inevitable that this bridge will break, everyone knows it, but among so many people, there will always be someone who can get by. Who doesn't want to be one of the people who can get by?
"Crazy, crazy, crazy!" There was no choice to retreat at this time. She turned around and continued to focus on walking her own path, the sooner the better.
Halfway through, I don't know what happened behind me, and the bridge shook even more.
There was no extra thought to worry about, the clothes on Mo Shuruo's back were soaked with sweat, and the mountain breeze felt cool all over his body...
Suddenly there was a scream.
The back of Mo Shuruo's head felt numb and goosebumps appeared on his hands.
Needless to say, these people must have fought for the front position, and some of them unfortunately fell off the cliff.
The bridge was shaking too much for a moment, and even though she was walking in front, she was too shaken to walk any further.
Those martial arts practitioners were so courageous. In the blink of an eye, several people had already run in front of her. After a closer look, she discovered that Fang Chengsong was among them.
The front half of the bridge was already crowded with people, and the originally quiet forest seemed to have been moved to a battlefield. It was very noisy with screams and clashes of weapons. Suddenly, a harsh friction sound came, like the last sigh of a centenarian man.
Mo Shuruo held on to the iron rope and trembled, obviously aware of what was going to happen next. He took a step forward, not even caring about being careful this time. He walked as long as there was a place to step on, as long as he walked quickly...
The iron chain fixed to the cliff at the end of the bridge let out a heavy gasp.
Suddenly, as if he was pushed in the face, Mo Shuruo fell backwards. Fortunately, he held on to the chain with all his strength and was not thrown out. At the same time, he seemed to be pushed from behind and was slapped hard on the bridge.
.
She lay on the wooden board and looked back. With countless screams, the bridge suddenly fell. The bridge head fixed when it came was loosened, causing the bridge to rotate and tilt directly vertically. In an instant, ten more people fell down.
Her mouth was dry and she found it difficult to breathe.
Fortunately, we have walked two-thirds of the distance, and the bridge deck here has not reversed. As long as we walk a short distance, we can reach the cliff on the opposite side.
Mo Shuruo got up and, like the people behind him, was struggling with all his strength to survive. After walking about ten steps further, she heard the damn friction sound again in the wind.
Fang Chengsong was a foot away, not far in front of Mo Shuruo. He saw him quickly piercing the wooden board with a dagger, and wrapped his left hand twice around the iron chain to secure himself tightly in that place.
Uncle Mo followed suit, wrapping one hand around the iron chain and holding on to the wooden board with the other.
The last pull disappeared, and the bridge on the opposite side collapsed completely. Mo Shuruo closed his eyes nervously and counted twice in his mind. The wooden board behind him quickly fell back, giving the illusion of a swing reaching its highest point.
Her ears were filled with the sound of wind, and even the screams from falling off the cliff became very small. She could only hear her heart beating wildly, like a drum.
After just a few snaps of his fingers, the bridge hit the cliff. Mo Shuruo was thrown away by the momentum, and because his hand was connected to an iron chain, he was thrown to the cliff again. This time, he felt that his arms were shaking.
He was torn off forcefully and hit the cliff twice. Half of his ribs were almost broken.
The gravel slid down and the world slowly became quiet.
Mo Shuruo still had his eyes closed. His hands were hanging tightly on the iron chain, and he stepped on the stone wall twice with his toes, but there was no place to put his force.
Most of the people who were lucky enough to escape were hanging on the bridge. When they came back to their senses, they didn't know whether they were crying or laughing. At this moment, there were only about twenty people left in the original large army.
Mo Shuruo gasped for breath and was on the verge of fainting when she suddenly heard someone calling her name on the cliff.
He couldn't raise his head at all, and could only hear Fang Chengsong shouting not far away, "Master Yan Jue, help me, Miss Mo is right next to me, please think of a way to pull us up!" I guess she was so scared that she even mentioned his name.
cried out.
"Mo Shuruo!" A loud roar resounded throughout the valley, echoing endlessly.
She also wanted to respond, but she had no energy left. She kept exploring with her feet, and finally stepped on a little protrusion.
Yan Jue regretted in her heart. If she had known earlier, she should not have let her go up the mountain.
Suddenly he heard a weak reply, "I'm here..." He was about to jump off the cliff to save her, but then he heard her say: "This cliff has been weathered for a long time, and the edges and corners have been smoothed away. The moisture is too heavy, and the moss is all over it.
Don’t come down.”
No matter how high his martial arts skills are, not being able to find a place to stay will make him fall into this situation.
No one here can help anyone. If you want to survive, you have to rely on yourself. Everyone under the cliff knows this very well.
After calming down, even Fang Chengsong began to save himself.
Mo Shuruo used one foot to use the stone wall to exert force, the other foot to find the gap in the wooden board, and followed closely with both hands holding the iron chain.
As the iron bridge fell, they hung in the thick fog on the mountainside. Because it was blocked by the cliff on the opposite side, the stone wall under the mountainside had not seen sunlight for a long time and was very dark. And because it was winter, they climbed against the wet stone wall for a while,
Mo Shuruo felt that his hands were a little numb. Fortunately, Yanyayu was not located at a high altitude. If it had been covered with snow, it would have been even more difficult.
Just as I was sighing, I suddenly noticed a stone cave the size of my face not far away. The hole was round and round, obviously man-made. Thinking of the sect from decades ago, it was not surprising, but I didn’t know it was used to do it.
Well.
After looking left and right, I discovered that there were many similar caves on this stone wall. Someone was talking underneath, and they seemed to have noticed this strange situation.
Someone who was very close blew a fire and threw it in. Within a short while, a strange sound came from the cave, like the cry of some kind of creature. It would be fine if there were only one or two, but not as much as
After a while, it seemed that the same sound came from every cave.
Mo Shuruo looked at the nearest cave, his scalp numb with fear.
Well, isn't this seeking death...
It’s better not to be too curious as a person. Curious people will never live long!
Yanjue seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He waved his sleeves and whipped out a silver chain thousand-knot whip, as if he was ready for war.
The man who threw the fire seal was so scared that he didn't dare to move. It should be said that everyone didn't dare to move. The whole canyon seemed to be filled with this sound, which made people's hair stand on end.
The surroundings were eerily quiet.
Mo Shuruo touched his shoulder bag and found that the dagger Xiang Jingyi gave him had been lost somewhere.
"Ah——" A scream suddenly came from below, which scared her so much that she almost let go.
A group of black shadows suddenly jumped out of the cave, knocking the man off the cliff. Accompanied by countless chirping sounds, groups of black shadows flew out of the cave and disappeared into the thick fog.
She acted instinctively and felt a chill behind her.
Someone yelled below: "It's a vampire bat!"
Vampire bats were raised by the evil sect that was stationed here in the past. Legend has it that they used this poison to kill people. Later, the decent sects formed an alliance to wipe out them and burned them completely. Unexpectedly, after decades, these things
There are actually still them, and they have multiplied so many...
The thick fog gradually turned into pitch black, and then red spots began to appear. They were scattered at first and finally turned into a large mass, gathering on the opposite side of the cliff.
Everyone began to climb up desperately. After all, it would be uncomfortable to be bitten by this thing. Besides, they kill people in groups. Even an elephant can eat it clean, let alone a human.
Thinking of the situation of Baiyue's living corpses eating horses, Mo Shuruo was almost frightened again.
In a hurry, something bumped into something nearby, and before I could even look at it, the people below started to stir up again. The bats squeaked, disturbing people, and rushed towards the people on the cliff one by one like moths to a flame.
The sound of flapping wings was heard in his ears, a blue light flashed, and the approaching bat was instantly split into two halves. Mo Shuruo trembled all over and continued to climb up without stopping.
On the cliff, Yanjue closed his eyes, and the thousand-knot whip in his hand was like a silver snake in the air, slashing away the approaching bats. With his help, those higher up were in less danger. It's just that
There are too many enemies, and there are always areas that cannot be taken into account.
Hearing Cheng Song's cry above his head, Mo Shuruo instantly felt a figure falling down. He didn't even have time to think about it, so he hurriedly grabbed one of his hands. The man was too heavy, and he didn't have enough force to lift her up.
Pull it down.
After a moment of stasis in the air, he quickly grabbed the chain again and shook off Mo Shuruo's hand, "Don't think that if you pull me, I will let you go!"
It's funny to think that she would reach out to save a man who wanted to kill her. However, this was her last bit of kindness. And at this time, she was too lazy to argue with him.
"Whatever you want." As she spoke, she subconsciously looked back and saw that group of black mist rushing over again.
Fang Chengsong cursed and crawled faster than Mo Shuruo.
In this kind of space, I don’t know what is happening below. I only heard someone shouting: "Fire! These things are afraid of fire!"
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly took out the fire sticks they carried, but the fire light was too weak, and it was not scary at all to those things.
After a while, the bat's attack became more violent, and Mo Shuruo could smell the subtle smell of blood.
A vulgar male voice came from below, "Grandma, if you push me too hard, grandpa will blow you to pieces!"
Another male voice came, "Boy, you always like to drink, but now that you have come to use it, why don't you take it out quickly?"
liquor!
Mo Shuruo felt as if he had been saved.
Someone above the head responded, "You didn't fucking tell me earlier!" Then the man took a wine bottle from the bag on his back and smashed it against the stone wall, then took a fire stick to light it. Unfortunately, the stone wall was covered with moss, and there was no trace of it at all.
Can't light it.
Mo Shuruo heard him curse again.
"What the hell is this place!"
Feeling pain in her neck, Mo Shuruo raised her hand reflexively and smacked it. She hit a bat the size of a mouse. She was so frightened that she screamed and threw the thing as far as she could.
The sound of breaking porcelain sounded again, and a fire suddenly lit up above the head. It turned out that the man had torn off half of his clothes and lit them on fire. He swung the clothes around to drive away the approaching bats, and took control of the situation for a moment.
But soon the clothes burned out, and he had no choice but to climb up if he wanted to survive.
The man threw his clothes aside, and the remaining sparks actually lit the wine on the stone wall.
In an instant, the fire quickly jumped from top to bottom, and it seemed that there was water flowing near Mo Shuruo. As soon as the flames came over, the wooden board was also ignited.
Yan Jue smelled a burning smell and his brows knitted together. "Uncle Mo, are you okay?"
The growing firelight illuminated the surroundings extremely clearly. The vampire bats no longer attacked, but they were still hiding in the thick fog in the distance and squeaking.
The wooden planks on the cable bridge were ignited by the fire, and the iron chains began to burn hot. The fire gradually became uncontrollable, and the people below were so anxious that they used all their limbs and jumped up.
A heat wave hit her, and she coughed twice, her cheeks burning red. "I'm fine."
As soon as Yan Jue heard the sound, he immediately wrapped his thousand-knot whip around a big stone, jumped down, and fell along the iron bridge. The length of the whip meant that he was stretched ten feet away from Mo Shuruo.
The iron chain where the fire first caught fire began to burn red. Fang Chengsong was sweating profusely, and he didn't know whether it was from the heat or from fear.
If the temperature of the iron chain is too high, it will definitely be untouchable. If you can't climb the cliff before that, you will be dead. Even if it can withstand the heat, the wooden board will be burned and break at the touch, so there is no place to borrow strength. So this
It is not a matter of danger or not, but a matter of racing against time.
He was very tall and quickly surpassed Mo Shuruo.
It was just that he was too impatient for a moment, broke the board and almost fell down. He held on to the iron chain tightly and was in shock. He looked around and found no place to stay. He glanced at Mo Shuruo next to him and actually kicked her on the shoulder.
superior.
Mo Shuruo was caught off guard by the sudden force. He let go of his hand, let out a scream and immediately fell back.
"Mo Shuruo!"
Yan was absolutely unaware of the situation, and only heard her voice gradually getting further away. He waved his hand to withdraw the thousand-knot whip, and she fell down. He touched the stone wall to speed up, and Xun Sheng hugged her in the air. They both fell to the bottom of the cliff in an instant.
