Chapter 71 Underground Dark River
Liu Dashao knew that they would not last long, so he called Jia Zhuangyuan. One person pulled a climbing rope. In front of the climbing rope was a fine steel cast eagle claw, which could grasp the abrupt ice edges. As long as the two could throw the climbing rope opposite the gap, they could grab the climbing rope and go to the opposite side.
Liu Dasho chose a piece of ice, and then waved the mountaineering rope with his right hand, which felt like a western cowboy.
"Go ahead!" He suddenly hurled out the climbing rope. The distance of ten meters was nothing to Liu Dasho. Under the pull of the eagle's claws, the climbing rope flew to the rock wall of the opposite ice, and suddenly grabbed the abrupt ice edges and made a crisp sound.
For the sake of safety, Liu Dashao pulled the climbing rope in his hand and felt that there was no problem. The eagle claws at the front end should be very firmly grasped.
On the other side, Jia Zhuangyuan also successfully selected an abrupt ice fringe and grabbed the ice fringe with his eagle claws. Then he waved to Liu Dashao and said, "It's done!"
Liu Dashao immediately greeted Yang Weidong, "Lao Yang, you go there first!"
Yang Weidong looked at Liu Dashao and said, "Then what should you do?"
Liu Dashao said, "Don't worry, we'll come later!" By the way, after you go there, quickly collect the climbing rope, and then throw the climbing rope back to us. Do you understand? Liu Dashao said while asking him to fasten the safety buckle, "Okay, let's go!"
Yang Weidong nodded and jumped down. Just like swinging, it leaped through the bottomless gap. Liu Dashao's heart followed Yang Weidong's ups and downs. When Yang Weidong was about to approach the opposite rock wall, he stretched out his legs and exerted a little force on the rock wall with the soles of his feet. First, it was to prevent the whole body from directly hitting the rock wall, and second, it was to reduce the speed of buffering.
After stepping on the rock wall three times, he finally stabilized his body, and then climbed the uneven rock wall and climbed towards the ice above the rock wall.
Because Yang Weidong was a soldier, he quickly climbed up the ice on the opposite side, and then waved his hand excitedly. Then, he quickly put away the climbing rope according to Liu Dasho's request.
Yang Weidong wrapped the rope around the eagle's paw, stepped back a few meters, then rushed forward a few steps, raised his arm, and tosss the climbing rope back to this side. The eagle's claws were actually not heavy, but very dexterous and light. At a distance of ten meters, Yang Weidong threw the climbing rope back to everyone with little effort.
Jia Zhuangyuan was quick-eyed, took the climbing rope in his hand, and then he tosawed the eagle's claws again. The eagle's claws flew over and grabbed the abrupt ice edges on the opposite rock wall.
Liu Dashao picked up the climbing rope from the ground. After waving it a few laps, he tossaw out the eagle's claws. The eagle's claws passed through the cold air and grabbed the abrupt ice edges just now. Then he turned around and said to Cai Qingchong and Fan Debiao, "Let's go!"
Cai Qingchong and Fan Debiao dodged the attack of the salamander king and quickly ran to the crowd. After this fierce battle, the two were almost bruised all over, and their clothes were worn out by the broken ice.
The salambant king turned around and chased after it. At this time, the vast salambant army also climbed up from under the ice rock. The salambant army without any obstruction came fiercely. On the ground of the ice rock, it was like a white carpet in an instant.
At this moment, the dangerous situation is imminent. If only two people can go there at a time, two people are bound to be swallowed up by the salamant army. Now, Liu Dashao has no time to consider whether the ice edges grasped by the opposite rock wall and the eagle's claws can withstand the weight of two people. He must fight. Because it is impossible for him to be alone and let Cai Qingchong and Fan Debiao die here.
Thinking of this, Liu Dashao shouted to Jia Zhuangyuan, "Lay the safety buckle. Let's pull one and fly over together!"
Jia Zhuangyuan nodded and quickly fastened the safety buckle. Liu Dashao also lowered his head quickly. As soon as he fastened the safety buckle, Cai Qingchong and Fan Debiao had already run over quickly.
"Don't look back, one person is holding a safety rope, come on!" Liu Dasho gave the order anxiously.
The salamander army is like a surging tide, closely following the heels of Cai Qingchong and Fan Debiao. Cai Qingchong and Fan Debiao's girl are running, as if they were racing against death.
Liu Dashao shouted eagerly, "Come on! Hold on!"
Wow! Fan Debiao flew up and hugged him from Mr. Liu. He suddenly kicked the edge of the ice rock and jumped out of the rock with Fan Debiao on his back. Almost at the same time, the green worm also flew up and grabbed the climbing rope on Jia Zhuangyuan's body. Then, they also jumped out of the ice rock.
At the moment when everyone flew away from the ice rock, the snow salams had just reached the edge of the ice rock. The snow salamb in front of him wanted to stop his pace, but he was pushed forward by his companions who swarmed behind him. In an instant, hundreds of thousands of snow salamps were squeezed down the ice rock and fell into a bottomless gap.
Everyone shuttled through the hazy fog and cold smoke, and it felt like flying in the sky. Fan Debiao's servant tightly hooked Liu Dashao's neck and made an ape Taishan-like "yo or" sound, which made Liu Dafa almost forget to stretch his legs flat and hit the rock wall with one head.
He was secretly relieved in his heart. Fortunately, the ice edges were still hard and could withstand the weight of two people. If the ice edges suddenly break on the way to the leap, everyone can only report to the Yanluo Hall.
Because Fan Debiao hugged Liu Da Shao from behind, after stabilizing his body, Liu Da Shao could only slowly climb up with this heavy guy on his back. Yang Weidong also responded to everyone on the ice, which helped Liu Dashao reduce some of the burden.
When he was about to climb the ice rock, Fan Debiao suddenly said in Liu's ear, "Young master, you are so brave. I love you so much!"
As soon as Liu Dashao heard this, his legs couldn't help shivering, and his head slammed on the rock wall, which made him dizzy. The forehead was also rished and blood flowed out. Liu Dashao grined with pain and scolded, "You are so disgusting!"
Everyone finally climbed up the ice. Liu Dashao lay on the ground and gasped, and Yang Weidong came up to bandage his wound.
Fan Debiao excitedly shouted at the ice rock opposite, "Ugly thing, you have the guts to fly over and bite me, wow ha ha, I'm here, you bite, come and bite!" As Fan Debiao spoke, he pouted his buttocks. The "playful" appearance made Liu Dashao have an impulse to kick him into the gap.
Just when everyone thought they had finally escaped the disaster, the accident happened again. Hearing the crisp sound of 'bang', Liu Das heart suddenly sank, which was the sound of the ice edges breaking. Then, Liu Dashao heard the exclamation of Cai Qingchong and Jia Zhuangyuan.
The two of them were about to climb up the ice. At this time, the weight-bearing ice edges broke from it, and Jia Zhuangyuan and Cai Qingchong suddenly slid down.
"Senior Jia! Bugs!" Liu Da Shao looked at this scene in horror and screamed.
At the critical moment of life and death, the instinct of survival made Jia Zhuangyuan and Cai Qingchong reflexively reach out to grasp the concave and uneven rock wall. When sliding three meters, the green worm's hands grabbed two abrupt ice edges and stopped the downward trend. Jia Zhuangyuan grabbed the climbing rope, quickly pulled a circle in front of his chest, and suddenly wrapped a sharp ice edge. His whole body hung on the steep rock wall, like a lantern swaying in the wind.
The broken ice edges rolled and fell into the gap, and in the blink of an eye, it was swallowed up by the cold smoke.
The green worm sticks to the smooth rock wall like a gecko. His hands grasped the ice edges tightly, and the blue veins on his neck were high. "Young master, come quickly, I can't hold on!"
"Senior Jia! Bugs! Hold on!" Everyone shouted anxiously on the ice for fear that they would give up their belief in survival. At this moment, the choice between life and death is actually between one thought. If you can stick to it, you may be able to survive. If there is a little desire to give up in your heart, it will be a bottomless abyss waiting for them.
At this time, Liu Dashao didn't care about the bleeding wound on his forehead. He quickly took off the safety buckle on his waist and quickly walked to the edge of the ice. The cold wind blew up from under the chasm, which made him unable to open his eyes.
Liu Dasho looked behind him, and there was no place to tie the climbing rope. So he gritted his teeth and buckled the safety buckle again, and then let Fan Debiao pull him behind him. Yang Weidong pulled Fan Debiao again. Liu Dashao decided to save Cai Qingchong and Jia Zhuangyuan by tug-of-war.
At this time, I heard Jia Zhuangyuan say, "Save Cai Qingchong first. He can't hold on any longer. I'm fine for the time being!"
Liu Dashou nodded and threw the eagle claws at the front end of the climbing rope to the green worm, "Catch the eagle claws, don't let go!"
The fine steel forged eagle claws hang next to the vegetable green worm, only about half a meter away from the vegetable green worm. As long as he reaches out, he can catch it.
"Catch it! Bugs!" Liu Dashao said anxiously.
The vegetable green insect moved its right hand with difficulty and never dared to stretch out its hand, "No! I'm out of strength. I'm afraid I can't catch it!"
Liu Dashao shouted, "Don't be afraid! It's only half a meter away, you can definitely do it!"
Time passed minute by minute, and the green worm hung for more than half a minute. In half a minute, he tried to loosen his right hand three times, but each time he gave up with fear. From the point of conscience, it seems that the distance of half a meter is nothing, but it really takes a lot of courage to stand in the situation of vegetable green insects.
On the one hand, there is a bottomless gap under him, which is the biggest psychological barrier. On the other hand, he has tried all his strength to stabilize his body at this time. If he let go of one hand now, can his other hand bear the weight of the whole body at that moment?
Looking at the appearance of the vegetable green worm, everyone is more and more anxious to stand on the ice. If they linger like this, the vegetable green worm will eventually fall down due to lack of physical strength. Moreover, every extra second is wasted, Jia Zhuangyuan will be in danger.
Fan Debiao suddenly walked to the edge of the ice, pointed to the vegetable green worm and scolded, "Xiao Erbi, I have always respected you as a man!" We traveled around and never been afraid of birds, but look at yourself, look at yourself, look at yourself, you are not as good as women! If a man dies, he will die. What's the big deal? I can tell you, don't let me despise you!"
Sometimes, the prodigal method is indeed a good way. Fan Debiao scolded so much that he was so angry that the green worm smoked. "How dare you scold me? Let's see if I come up and kill you!"
As he spoke, the vegetable green insect suddenly gritted his teeth, held his breath and his right hand, and grabbed the eagle's claws. Then the vegetable green insect held its breath, and its left hand took the opportunity to grab the eagle's claw. At this time, the vegetable green insect was like a big pendulum clock, swinging around on the rock wall.
"Bumps, hurry up!" Mr. Liu shouted, clenched the climbing rope tightly with his hands, and pulled it back hard. "Let's work harder!"
"Hey! Hey!" Under the joint drag of everyone, the vegetable green worm was like a big slug, which was pulled up by everyone.
Everyone fell to the ground and gasped.
Fan Debiao rubbed his hands and said, "Why are you sinking like a pig? My hands are about to wear out!"
"You are a fucking pig! Your whole family is a pig!" The green worm scolded.
"Hey, don't worry about rest. Elder Jia is still down there!" Yang Weidong said.
"Yes! Yes! Hurry up and save people!" Liu Dasho got up from the ground, and then slowly hung the eagle claws at the front of the climbing rope against the rock wall to Jia Zhuangyuan's side. "Elder Jia, grab it!"
Jia Zhuangyuan's body is very light, so although he hangs longer than the vegetable green worm, it is not as difficult as the vegetable green worm. He stretched out his foot on the rock wall and kicked hard, then twisted his waist gently, suddenly loosened his hands holding the climbing rope, and grabbed the eagle's claws. The whole set of movements was like a juggling performance, which stunned everyone.
"Pear him up!" Fan Debiao said.
"Senior Jia, you are holding on!" As Liu Dashao said, he dragged the climbing rope back, and everyone also worked together. Jia Zhuangyuan's body is very light. At this time, coupled with the power of vegetable green insects, it is easy for the four people to drag Jia Zhuangyuan up from under the rock wall.
"It's finally all right!" Everyone shouted with joy. This volley is really more exciting than sliding over the ice bridge. Now when they look back at the deep gap, their legs and stomachs are really a little weak.
On the opposite ice, the tide of the salambant army was slowly fading. The salambant king turned back and walked down the ice rock step by step. It was really a little unwilling to see what it looked like. After so many apprentices and grandchildren died, he also suffered a few shovels, but he didn't even eat a living person. You can imagine how bad the mood of the salamant king was at this time.
Soon, the snow salamands suddenly disappeared on the ice as if they had suddenly emerged from the ice. Even the salamant king disappeared. The ice opposite was quiet again, and only the snow salamb corpses and the splashing ice were silently talking about the life-and-death struggle just now.
The five people looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Everyone's current appearance is really a little like non-mainstream. Not to mention the messy hair and sloppy faces. The clothes and trousers on their bodies are also fragmented. There is a cut here and a hole there. The most exaggerated thing is Fan Debiao. Everyone didn't understand why his trousers had a hole in his asshole. Later, after everyone's analysis, the hole must have been broken by Fan Debiao's fart.
After a moment of rest, everyone stood up and continued to travel. After experiencing this continuous danger, everyone was already exhausted and could only help each other and move forward slowly. Fortunately, everyone has never encountered a gap and cliff again. Although there are still many cracks on the ice, everyone can avoid it carefully and there is no accident. Everyone knows clearly that if something like a snow salamb comes out again now, I will definitely have no strength to escape.
In this underground ice cave, people no longer have the concept of time, and they don't know how long they have been in the Guge Ruins, maybe a few hours, maybe half a day, maybe a day, or even longer!
Everyone is now being pulled by willpower, mechanically walking forward, and their limbs become numb, as if they have separated from their bodies. Everyone doesn't know if they can get out of here if they go on like this, and they don't know where they will go if they go on like this. With the passage of time, everyone's will was swallowed up little by little. Drowsiness and hunger wrapped everyone tightly. Everyone did not talk to each other, and the world seemed to become particularly quiet, so silent that it was suffocating.
After walking for about 45 minutes, Jia Zhuangyuan broke the silence, "Listen, what kind of sound is this?"
Everyone pricked up their ears and listened for a long time, and faintly heard a sound like running water.
Liu Dashao was overjoyed and said excitedly, "It's the sound of water!"
Jia Zhuangyuan nodded and said, "Yes, it's the sound of water!"
"Great, let's go!"
Fan Debiao said puzzled, "Young master, isn't it just the sound of water flow? Why are you so excited?"
Without waiting for Liu Dashao to speak, Jia Zhuangyuan said, "The water here should be an underground river. The underground river will not be stagned water, but will definitely lead to the outside world. As long as we follow the direction of the underground river, we may find the exit!"
Really?! Then let's go quickly!" Fan Debiao's originally gloomy eyes suddenly became bright.
After a while, the sound was clearer and more clearly audible, and the air was filled with a wet smell.
"It's really an underground river!" The green worm said happily.
In front of everyone, an underground river about ten meters wide is flowing forward slowly. There is no other way. To everyone's surprise, there was a swirling heat floating on the surface of the underground river. Liu Dashao squatted on the edge of the ice, reached out to test the water temperature, and found that the underground river was still a little hot. Everyone couldn't help marveling at the magical creation of nature.
Liu Dashao turned around and said to the crowd, "Let's take a break, accumulate strength, and get ready to go into the water!"
