Chapter 284 The Cliff
Chapter 284 The Cliff
The wine lunatic was attracted by the aroma of Xu Shaotang's barbecue.

Before he opened his eyes, he had already rushed towards the barbecue in Xu Shaotang's hand.

When the barbecue was in hand, the wine lunatic finally opened his eyes slowly, looked at Xu Shaotang who was looking at him with a half-smile while holding the barbecue, and asked in surprise: "I'm not dead?"

"If I die, can I still taste this delicious barbecue?" Xu Shaotang said with a look of enjoyment after taking a bite of the barbecue.

If you have never experienced death, you will never know how happy it is to be alive. Fortunately, Xu Shaotang has died once, and he almost died a second time just now. Being able to live is the greatest luck for him.

The wine lunatic habitually wanted to pour wine into his mouth, only to realize that his gourd was empty. He put away the wine gourd angrily, ate the delicious barbecue, and asked, "What's going on, am I not killed by those monsters?" Did you kill it?"

When he was chewing the roast meat in his mouth, he realized that his whole body was intact. This strange scene immediately surprised him.

Xu Shaotang smiled slightly: "It's nothing, it's just an illusion."

Although he said it easily, he was afraid for a while in his heart. If they hadn't woken up at the last moment, they would have become one of the bones.

"Illusion?" The wine lunatic frowned, wondering, "Why is there an illusion there?"

Xu Shaotang added some firewood to the fire, moved his body slightly closer to the fire, and analyzed: "It should be that the flowers, plants and trees in the forest can release a hallucinogenic ingredient, because the fog in the forest is too heavy, We didn't find those flowers and trees at all, so we were caught in the trick by carelessness."

This is also what he thought of while waiting for the drunk lunatic to wake up. The fog in the forest forced people to maintain a high level of tension, which allowed the hallucinogenic ingredients to take advantage of it. Under normal circumstances, they might have noticed it already .

Listening to Xu Shaotang's analysis, the drunk lunatic nodded in agreement, rubbed his slightly painful head, and said, "It's a good thing you're careful, otherwise we'll really capsize in the gutter."

"We encountered this kind of danger when we first arrived, so we have to be careful later." Xu Shaotang reminded.

The drunk lunatic nodded and said: "If we are in danger again, don't worry about me, just find a way to get out first."

"I hope there will be no more problems..." Xu Shaotang murmured.

The two rested in this cave for one night. After a night's rest, their energy had been fully recovered, and their clothes had been dried.

When they went on the road again, they were much more cautious. The two of them alternately observed the surrounding environment. The person who opened the way in front was always vigilant, and the person who followed behind took the opportunity to rest. They only needed to follow the person in front.

The two of them did not change positions every half an hour, so as to ensure that everyone would not be in the same situation as yesterday due to excessive fatigue.

This method really worked. Apart from being harassed by a few monkeys along the way, the two never encountered any other dangers.

After walking a certain distance, the fog became thicker again, and there was a sudden "twittering" bird call in my ears.

Although they had crisp bird calls echoing in their ears along the way, they never had so many bird calls. If you listen carefully, you can probably hear dozens of different bird calls. The sound is very noisy because there are too many mixed together.

"Why do you feel a little hot?" Xu Shaotang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, unbuttoned his clothes, fanned the cool breeze with his hands, and asked the drunk lunatic with a frown.

The drunk lunatic wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded and said, "It's really hot, it shouldn't be!"

In such an environment with deep fog and heavy dew, even in hot summer, there should be a little bit of cold, not to mention that it is now in severe winter, and there is something wrong with such weird heat.

"Be careful, don't get caught again!" Xu Shaotang became vigilant and slowed down involuntarily.

Walking a few tens of meters further, the fog became thicker. Just as Xu Shaotang was about to take a step, he suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and he quickly grabbed the branches beside him to stabilize his figure.

Xu Shaotang squatted down, tentatively picked up a stone and threw it forward, but there was no sound of the stone falling to the ground after nearly ten seconds.

"There is a cliff in front!" Xu Shaotang turned his head and said to the wine lunatic: "Look at this posture, the depth of this cliff is at least 300 meters..."

"Cliff?" The wine lunatic looked happy, leaned over and looked at the bottomless cliff below and said, "I feel that the heat is coming out from under this cliff."

Xu Shaotang stretched his hand forward. When his hand was above the cliff, he could clearly feel that the temperature above the cliff was higher than where they were. It seemed that the hot air was indeed coming from under the cliff. No wonder the surrounding area is hotter than other places.

At this time, the wine lunatic also took out the map from his body, and kept gesticulating on the map with his fingers, carefully comparing it.

"There's not even a reference around, so what's the use of you taking out the map?" Xu Shaotang looked at the drunk lunatic with a smile.

The fog made the surroundings blurry, and there was no reference to compare with the map.

The drunk lunatic looked at the bottomless cliff, then looked at the map in his hand, raised his head and said to Xu Shaotang: "I think the ruins we are looking for should be below here. Look, the map shows a valley. And we have come all the way, only the terrain here is slightly lower."

"Okay, then let's go down and have a look!" Although Xu Shaotang is skeptical about the claim that the ruins are below here, but as the wine lunatic said, the terrain here is slightly lower when they walk all the way, if you don't go down to find out , it is estimated that the wine lunatic will not give up.

After making up their minds, the two immediately took out the rope they carried with them, fixed one end of the rope to a big tree above the cliff, and hung the other end directly along the cliff.

Xu Shaotang was about to go down the rope when the wine lunatic grabbed him, shook his head and said, "I'll come first!"

Neither of them knew what was going on under the cliff, and the danger of going down first would naturally be greater. In the eyes of the drunk lunatic, Xu Shaotang came to help him, and of course he had to do this risky thing.

Xu Shaotang also understood what the wine lunatic was thinking. Since the wine lunatic insisted on insisting, he couldn't say anything more, so he said to him: "Then be careful, slow down when you go down, and yell if you are in danger, and I will pull you away." Come up."

"Okay!" The wine lunatic nodded, and began to slide down the rope bit by bit.

Xu Shaotang carefully observed the surrounding situation from the top of the cliff. Once the drunk lunatic was in danger, he would immediately pull the drunk lunatic up.
