Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1898 Lightning Strikes
Liu Ya packed her things and stood up, while wringing the water from her hair, she said to Gu Shangqing: "Brother, the two of us will go over there to investigate the situation, and come back to formulate a rescue plan."

Aning also followed closely and stood beside Liu Ya, it seemed that she planned to follow her step by step.

Liu Ya didn't stop her, she smiled at Aning, to comfort her, and also to express her gratitude to her.

Gu Shangqing nodded, looked at the mountain in front of him, and said: "Will it be better if we go over the mountain? If there are rolling stones below, then we may be able to see it more clearly from above."

Liu Ya covered her forehead with her hands to block the pouring rain, and squinted her eyes towards the mountain.But the rain was too heavy, and the mountain wall in front of me could only see an outline clearly, and the specific situation still could not be fully seen.

Liu Ya said: "The situation is unknown, so I can only take a risk and take a look. It's better than being smashed directly below."

Gu Shangqing smiled, reached out and pulled a rope from the horse's back, and threw it to Ah Ning.Said: "Ya'er's safety is entrusted to you."

Liu Ya knew that Gu Shangqing was worried that he would encounter danger when going up the mountain because he did not have internal strength and lightness skills.

But if he made the move himself, he would definitely refuse, so he simply handed over the responsibility to Aning.

Liu Ya nodded to Aning, and didn't say anything to refuse.She is very clear that whether it is Gu Shangqing or Aning, their own safety is the first factor.

If she insists on showing off her strength and not allowing others to protect her at this time, not only will she fail their good intentions, but she may even become a burden to them invisibly.

Aning took the rope over, stretched out one end and tied it around his waist, and tied it tightly.Then he shook out the rope to check the length, rolled it up again and tucked it in the belt.

After preparing, Gu Shangqing, Liu Ya, and Aning ran towards the foot of the mountain on one side.

They deliberately chose the steeper side, because the mountain wall on this side is made of large stones, and there is not much looseness under such a heavy rain.

On the contrary, there are constant rolling stones on the relatively gentle side. If you want to go up the mountain, it is of course more important to have a firm foot, so this side is the first choice although it is dangerous.

Gu Shangqing rushed to the front without hesitation, he went up first, Liu Ya followed closely behind, and then Aning was behind Liu Ya as her safety guarantee.

And Liu Ya's rock climbing skills are not much inferior to Qinggong under such circumstances.

On the contrary, Gu Shangqing's lightness kung fu could not be fully displayed because of the slippery rock wall, so he could only use his hands and feet to cling tightly to the rock wall, climbing up step by step.

Liu Ya lowered her head to look at Aning below again. Aning seemed to be more stable, keeping half a body distance and rhythm from Liu Ya. It seemed that she didn't care about other things, and just wanted to protect Liu Ya wholeheartedly.

If Liu Ya made a slight mistake, she would immediately throw the rope and stabilize it with her own strength. As long as Liu Ya could hold onto the rope, the danger could be alleviated.

"Ya'er, puff..." Gu Shangqing yelled from above, but was choked by the rainwater flowing down from the mountain.He spat out the water in his mouth before continuing: "I feel that the sound of this mountain wall is not quite right."

Liu Ya frowned, shook her head and said, "What's wrong?"

"Listen." Gu Shangqing let go of a hand that was gripping the rock wall, clenched into a fist, and then punched hard on the mountain wall.

But I don't know if his strength is not enough, or the angle of the hammer is not right, Liu Ya didn't hear any sound.

Gu Shangqing changed positions and punched twice, but each time there was no sound.

Gu Shangqing frowned and said, "Maybe I can't feel it here."

Liu Ya felt that Gu Shangqing would definitely not be an unreasonable person, so she asked: "Brother, do you mean... an empty voice?"

"Yes, it's a bit similar but not quite. I kicked harder at the beginning, so I felt that there seemed to be a hole in the mountain wall. But I tried it just now, and it didn't." Gu Shangqing also frowned. , it seemed that he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to say: "Forget it, let's continue climbing."

Liu Ya also pressed her ears to the stone wall.It's just that the rainwater kept washing down the stone wall, filling her neck with rainwater, but there was no special sound at all.

Liu Ya shook her head, indicating that she didn't hear it, and continued to follow Gu Shangqing.

This time Gu Shangqing climbed more carefully, and paid more attention to the hollow sound on the stone wall.But it was almost up to the top of the mountain, and the strange sound did not appear again.

Gu Shangqing's frowning brows also relaxed, and he said in a low voice: "Maybe I heard wrong, or it just happened to pass through a small hollow hole."

Indeed, due to years of weathering, the mountain rocks may be lime-like in some places, and some places are hard but hollow.

But as long as it is not a structural problem of the mountain itself, it is impossible for the whole mountain to be like this.Otherwise, the mountain would be riddled with holes and collapsed long ago.

But what is more important now is whether you can see the situation behind the stone pile after climbing to the top of the mountain.

After all, more than 200 people are advancing in such terrain, they must be in a column.The person in front may have passed through the rockfall area and survived, this is what Liu Ya and Gu Shangqing hoped.

It's just that at the top of the mountain, the resistance of the wind is even greater.After Gu Shangqing climbed up first, he could hardly stand up. He had to bow and half kneel down so as not to be blown down by the wind.

And when Liu Ya was pulled up by Gu Shangqing, she was almost thrown down the mountain because of her light weight.

Fortunately, Gu Shangqing held Liu Ya tightly on top, and Aning also supported Liu Ya's feet on the bottom.

Liu Ya took advantage of the momentum to jump to the top of the mountain, then bowed and squatted down like Gu Shangqing, and observed the situation on the top of the mountain.

After looking at it, Liu Ya took a deep breath and said loudly: "A-Ning, don't come up, go back quickly."

Gu Shangqing was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask, Liu Ya had already pushed Aning down nearby.Then he pulled Gu Shangqing to the edge of the cliff and pressed down hard.

Just when Liu Ya was about to climb down, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder, shaking the whole mountain.

As soon as Gu Shangqing looked up from below, he saw another purple-blue lightning burst out of the low clouds.

The lightning came towards this side in a huge net shape, and it was about to hit Liu Ya's back.

Liu Ya didn't have time to turn her head, but she saw the purple light reflected by the lightning in Gu Shangqing's eyes.

Liu Ya knew very well that no matter how strong manpower is, no matter how strong the human body is, they are still no match for the power of nature.If this bolt of lightning really hit her...

"A-Ning, the rope!" Liu Ya yelled loudly, and at the same time jumped forward suddenly.
