Liu Ce led a few people to the iron cable bridge first. Out of caution, he was the first to step on the iron cable bridge, preparing to check the other side.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly frowned.
Liu Ce suddenly had an ominous premonition. He couldn't explain why, but this premonition was getting stronger and stronger.
Liu Ce took a few steps back.
When I returned to the stone wall, I leaned down against an iron chain and listened quietly.
He couldn't hear any movement, but he could feel the vibration of the wind blowing through the iron chain.
After carefully feeling all the iron chains, Liu Ce stood up.
Someone next to me couldn't help but said, "Steward Liu, you are too careful. Who can see us in the dark?"
Liu Ce still shook his head, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what is wrong."
"Butler Liu, let me go over and take a look first." The man said and stepped onto the chain bridge.
Soon all the people he led went up, and Liu Ce followed after some thought.
Less than halfway through, Liu Ce suddenly heard the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air. He immediately realized that something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Get down quickly."
But it was still half a step too late. Several screams rang out in the darkness.
Liu Ce lay on the iron chain and carefully retreated back to the stone wall little by little. At this time, Liu Rumei and the others also arrived. Liu Ce hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and explained the situation.
When Liu Rumei heard that someone was shooting cold arrows from the other side, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart.
Chen Xiaobei also secretly complained, having to say that this move was really cruel.
He instantly thought of Sun Jian.
It's probably this bastard Tnd who blocked me here.
Before I could finish my thoughts, sure enough, someone over there started shouting.
"Liu Rumei, Master Taiping, you just wait there to die."
It was Sun Jian's movement.
Chen Xiaobei was about to shout a few words, but was stopped by Liu Rumei.
"Do you know who he is?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "He is Sun Jian. I mentioned it to you two days ago."
The expression on Liu Rumei's face became more solemn, "So the person opposite is Sima Wushuang."
"Liu Ce, go and shout a few words."
Liu Ce took two steps forward and started at the top of his lungs, "Sima Wushuang, you are so despicable. You have the guts. Let's have a gong-to-drum-to-drum fight in front of you."
"You are a despicable and shameless villain. How can you be considered a hero by using such methods? Fortunately, you are still the number one swordsman in the Central Plains."
Sima Wushuang listened for a while, then looked up to the sky and laughed, "Okay, the method of provoking generals is useless to me, you should think carefully about how to hold on for a few more days."
"By the way, Liu Rumei, don't worry, I will collect the body for you."
After hearing this voice, Master Taiping nodded slightly, "This is Sima Wushuang, that's right."
Liu Rumei waved her hand, "Okay, let's retreat first and find a place to rest."
Everyone had no choice but to return to the Dogwood Forest after a long journey.
The bonfire was lit, but the atmosphere at the scene became very dull. Everyone knew what it meant to be unable to cross the chain bridge.
Liu Rumei once again looked at Chen Xiaobei with hopeful eyes.
"Is there any other way down the mountain?"
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "If you want to go down the mountain, you can only cross the chain bridge."
In fact, it was useless to ask Liu Rumei. When she was at the top of the mountain, she had also seen that the peak was surrounded by cliffs, and the only access was the chain bridge.
Liu Rumei looked at Master Taiping and said, "Old senior, I'm really sorry for you. I'm afraid our explanation is here."
Master Taiping was very calm, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, everyone is destined to die. At worst, if I jump into the abyss and commit suicide, I will never starve to death here."
"Old senior, if you jump down, your body will be gone." Liu Rumei advised with a wry smile.
Jumping into the abyss, the speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention. Chen Xiaobei's mind changed.
During the day, I had seen it on the top of the mountain. This canyon was winding all the way to my Hetou village. Would I be able to get out by following the abyss?
He patted his head and saw Liu Rumei, "Miss Liu, do you have a lot of ropes?"
Liu Rumei looked at him, "What do you mean?"
"Miss Liu, if there are enough ropes, let's go down, find a place to slide the rope down to the bottom of the cliff, and walk from below."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei's eyes lit up, and Ma Biao stood up immediately.
"Miss, I'm going to explore the way right now."
After taking just two steps, Ma Biao suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chen Xiaobei, "Brother Xiaobei, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll stay here to sort out the situation."
Chen Xiaobei nodded without taking it seriously, and went forward with a few people. When he was far away, Ma Biao gave Liu Rumei a fist and said, "Miss, you escort the seniors and the others to go first, I'll stay."
Confuse Sima Wushuang."
Liu Rumei was about to speak when Liu Ce spoke next to her, "It's better if I stay. I shouted just now and they know my voice."
The two of them asked Liu Rumei to fight together, and their hearts were twisted. Logically speaking, neither of them wanted to stay, as staying would mean a narrow escape from death.
But now someone must stay and buy time for him.
Liu Rumei finally looked at Liu Ce, "You stay for three days, and after three days, follow the traces we left and retreat."
Liu Ce nodded, "Miss, please don't worry, don't worry if we can't get through, it won't be easy for him to get over."
Chen Xiaobei didn't know this at all, so he led a few people back to the edge of the cliff and started walking down in the dark.
Fortunately, there is a little moonlight tonight, so the journey will not be so difficult.
I don’t know how long I’ve been walking, and I don’t know how far I’ve walked.
Ahead is a jumble of rocks, jagged rocks, and almost no path.
Chen Xiaobei sat down and said, "Oh, I'm exhausted. Let's take a break first."
The person next to him lowered his head and thought for a moment, "We have to go for twenty miles, so it should be okay to light a torch now."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "That's right, the torch is fine."
A few people lit torches, carefully approached the edge of the cliff, looked down, and then shook their heads.
"It's so dark that you can't see at all."
Chen Xiaobei smiled slightly, "It's okay if you really want to see it, but you have to prepare more torches."
Seeing that everyone was confused, Chen Xiaobei reached out and took a torch from someone's hand and went to the cliff, carefully lying down.
Then he threw the torch in his hand down.
The torch is in the air, swaying in the wind.
Chen Xiaobei counted one, two, three silently in his mind. Before he could count four, the torch had already begun to roll.
Starting to roll means it has landed.
According to the law of free fall that I learned in my previous life.
The acceleration of an object in free fall is 9.8 meters per second.
But the torch swaying in the wind obviously cannot reach this speed, and I just counted more than three seconds to less than four seconds. After removing all the discounts, I entered the formula as three seconds, and finally calculated that the depth of the canyon is about four seconds.
