Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 109
We rested on the spot for more than ten minutes and then walked forward along the passage. We didn't know how long we walked, but we felt a bright light coming from ahead.

"Is that the exit?" I asked excitedly.

Lao Yan nodded: "It should be right."

We took a long breath and finally saw the exit.

"It seems that the sky is already dawn." Lao Yan said wearily: "I didn't expect it to take a whole night."

I didn't expect that the cave was completely dark, so there was no sense of time passing. I didn't expect that such a toss and a night would pass. No wonder everyone was exhausted.

"Hurry up and get out, my head is full of rats squeaking now, I'm going crazy." Miss Qiu scratched her hair irritably, obviously exhausted by those rats.

"What's going on here..." Yazai who ran in the front had already exited the cave, but then he took two steps back and looked back at us in astonishment.

"What's the matter, don't say what the hell is in front of me, I really can't move." I gasped.

This day has not stopped since we left the corpse village. If there is any problem, we are all meat on the chopping board.

"That's not true." Yazai shook his head, then pointed behind him: "But it doesn't make any difference, there is no way ahead, just a cliff."

cliff?

Everyone looked ashamed, they managed to escape, only to find that there was also a dead end outside, which was really sour.

"It shouldn't be..." I thought about it: "This cave has traces of man-made excavation. Is it possible to make an exit here for jumping off a cliff?"

After I finished speaking, I walked towards the entrance of the cave. Yazai was right. In front of the entrance of the cave, it looked like an irregular stone platform with a length and width of about two meters. There were cliffs in front of and around the stone platform.

I dared to take a few steps forward, stretched my neck and looked down, feeling dizzy for a while, and then I found a way, if it could be called a way.

"This...is the bird path?"

I stood on the cliff and looked at the small plank road below, whether it was man-made or natural, which could only bear the force on the forefoot, and I felt that it was a miracle.

The bottom of the cliff is covered by clouds and mist. I don’t know where the foot-sized plank road spreads. If it disappears halfway, I don’t know if I still have the courage to climb up.

We just squeezed together at the exit, careful not to make unnecessary movements, for fear that we would fall down if we were not careful.

Yazai exclaimed: "How deep is this?"

After hearing what he said, I bent down to pick up a stone, and just threw it down without hearing an echo for a long time.

Our faces turned pale, and it took me a long time to say that this might not be the bird path.

"But we can't go back either..." Yazai smiled wryly.

I looked back, too, and I couldn't help but feel chills at the thought of those disgusting shipworms and rats in the cave.

"Binoculars!" Lao Yan, who had been silent beside him, stretched out his hand, and I quickly took out the binoculars from my bag and handed them to him.

He looked into the distance on the binoculars, and after a while he said: "The mountain opposite seems to be really Emei."

I took a telescope and looked at it carefully, and murmured: "Emei is beautiful all over the world, and the weather is myriad; a mountain contains four seasons, and the sky is different for ten miles."

"Hey, Chang'an, why are you reading poems too?" Yazai joked.

I laughed a little, and said that I am not allowed to be artistic once in a while.

"Stop making trouble, so the opposite is indeed Emei, so the road on the cliff is really the bird road?" Lao Yan frowned.

We have all thought about the difficulty of the bird path, but no one thought that it would be an almost impossible path.

Not to mention other things, if it was here a few years ago, without some equipment, how many people would dare to climb down with bare hands?
Even if you are really brave, it is hard to say whether you can finish the journey after going down. If you slide a little, you will be in the abyss!
"Chang'an, can you see other ways?" Lao Yan lit the bottom of the cliff.

I first looked at the cliff, and then looked around at the surrounding mountains and said: "The mountain curves and bends with the water, and there is a hole here."

"What do you mean?" Yazai looked confused.

I explained that there are usually cemeteries in mountains surrounded by mountains and water. There is water behind us and mountains under our feet. There must be tombs here.

"Who?"

Just as I was about to explain in more detail, Kumbu lightly said something.

My first reaction was to look back, because only the exit of this cave could have someone coming over, but then I realized something was wrong, because Kumbu's eyes were not looking behind him, but looking to the left.

"Kunbu, how can there be anyone here?" Miss Qiu took a sip of her wine and tapped the ground with her foot: "So this place might be the Cancong Tomb. I'll take the lead, and you guys will follow."

Kumbu reached out to stop her, and then asked if we really didn't feel the feeling of being watched?
After he said that, I also felt that since I stood here, something really seemed to be staring at us.But there was a cave behind us, and we didn’t find anything following us along the way; in front of us were cliffs, with no roads on the left and right, just trees squeezed out of the rocks, how could it be possible to hide people?

The old smoke bar took two puffs of smoke and said: "Chang'an, do you still remember that I was injured by the exorcist before, and you carried me out the next day what I said to you?"

"Remember, you said back then that there seemed to be something staring at us." After I finished speaking, I said in horror: "No way? That thing actually followed us all the way here."

"I don't know, anyway, be careful, Kumbu, let the Shadow Gu out and have a look." Lao Yan was still a little worried, and said to Kumbu after thinking about it.

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by him, when we were discussing, Kumbu had already moved, and the two shadow Gus crawled to the left and right respectively, and came back after a while.

"Strange." Kunbu was a little puzzled, touched the Shadow Gu and said, "I didn't find anything, it's just..."

"Just what?" Lao Yan asked.

Kunbu put away the Shadow Gu and said that there are many silkworms in the nearby trees.

"Silkworms?" The boy became inexplicably excited: "It is said that Can Cong was dressed in green clothes and taught Shu people to raise silkworms, which made the ancient Shu Kingdom rise rapidly. He is a real professional sericulture farmer. Is this related to him? "

What he said is not unreasonable. This is a deep mountain, and logically no one would raise silkworms here.The surrounding trees are not all mulberry trees, but there are a large number of silkworms, which shows that we are getting closer to the goal...

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go." Miss Qiu put the metal jug on her waist, took out the flying claw hook from her bag, and was about to go down.

I stopped her, and before I could speak, Ms. Qiu glared at me: "What are you guys doing, why, do you still want to sit on the cliff and enjoy the scenery?"

"No, it's Sister Qiu. I'd better leave it to the elders you're talking about." I took the flying claw hook from her hand, swung the backpack on my back, and fastened the rope with the light on my head. , Make sure it has been fixed and climb down.

Although there are foot sockets as a point of strength, it is really hard to climb up. First, the plank road is not cut regularly. Sometimes the distance between the two foot sockets is short, sometimes it is long, and sometimes it goes left and sometimes right.With my hands clasped on the cliff, I lowered my head and watched for a while before I could determine where to focus my next step. After walking for 10 minutes, I barely passed [-] foot sockets.

"How about it?"

Lao Yan yelled from above, and the echo made it sound a bit mysterious.

I took a few breaths before raising my head and replying: "It's far away!"

"Take it easy, we can't see you."

Lao Yan roared again.

I responded and stopped talking, the fog was getting thicker, and I had to put all my attention on my feet.

After walking down two more steps, the fog was so thick that I couldn't see the footwells clearly, so I had to try one by one, and the speed was even slower.

Laoyan and the others were there to make sure of my safety from time to time. At first I still had the energy to shout a few words in response, but then I just shook the light on my head to make sure they could see it.

Just like this step by step, I don't know how long I walked, I just feel that my arms are so sore and limp, if I don't reach the end, even if I don't fall off the cliff, I will die of exhaustion here.

Fortunately, before I was exhausted, the fog gradually lightened, and the foot sockets became denser and denser, making it easier to walk.

boom!
When there was more than one meter left, I jumped down directly, which made me feel strange that the bottom of the cliff was very clean, and the thick fallen leaves in my imagination did not exist at all.

There is only a shallow layer of fallen leaves on the large expanses of bare-exposed stones, which obviously fell just this year.

"Where are the fallen leaves from before?" I muttered to myself, and just as I was about to squat down and study it carefully, I felt a sharp gaze staring at me behind me.

There are people at the bottom of the cliff!

I was so shocked that my scalp was numb, as if a snake was climbing up from the bottom of my feet, and my whole body was cold.

I picked up the 56-type submachine gun and loaded the bullet with two clicks, turned around suddenly and fired a shot in the direction of my sight, but there was nothing but lush trees...

But the scalp-numbing sight still existed, and I walked over there slowly in fear, but there was nothing!
