Chapter 394 Building Blocks

Ulala...

The sound of the wind in my ears was like the shrill roar of an evil ghost. The strong sense of weightlessness was like a hand passing through my chest and tightly grasping my heart. At this time, I was no longer afraid because I had made all the preparations. I just closed my eyes instinctively and gritted my teeth to endure the discomfort of my body.

Creak!

The rope around my waist suddenly tightened, and I was immediately suspended in the air.

I knew that Wushuang was holding the rope from above. Otherwise, if I kept doing free fall like this, the speed would be getting faster and faster. If there was a little bump, I would have no other way to go except to die on the spot.

Sure enough, after I paused in the air for a while, Wushuang began to slowly lower the rope again.

At this time, I was completely shrouded in darkness. I couldn't see the flashlights in the hands of Brother Yaozi and others above. This meant that I was very far away from them and could not hear any sound from them at all.

Wushuang was slowly letting out the rope, and I was moving down little by little.

The temperature in the cave began to rise gradually. The surroundings of the cave were no longer ice, but moist soil. I had left the scope of the ice tomb. Although the cold air in my body was still eroding, the warm feeling underground still made me feel very enjoyable, and I was relieved.

Gradually, I began to notice something strange.

My back was getting closer and closer to the cave wall. In the end, I was almost sticking to the cave wall, sliding down along the cave wall...

"This cave is not vertical!!"

I woke up immediately, but the inclination was not large, and it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

The cave wall was relatively flat, and there were no protruding sharp stones.

It felt like... a slide! !

That's right, it was a slide! !

Although the inclination was not large, people could slide along the cave wall all the way to the bottom! !

No wonder the ice didn't make any sound after falling. It turned out that after falling halfway, the ice began to roll down along the cave wall. It would be strange if we could hear any sound!!

This is indeed a way to survive. We don't even need a rope. We just have to suffer a little while sliding down. If we are well prepared and put something on our backs, we can basically be unscathed!!

What's the saying? Your eyes can deceive you!

We were deceived by our own eyes.

After figuring this out, I stared at the cave wall with my legs and began to struggle, shaking the rope tied to me, reminding Wushuang and the others that they could come down.

I don't know if Wushuang misunderstood me, or if there was something unexpected up there. Just as I shook the rope to remind them, the pulling force on the rope suddenly disappeared...

Wushuang let go of the rope, and the result is imaginable...

I immediately began to slide down the cave wall at an accelerated speed. My single clothes were rubbed against the cave wall and made a "chi chi" sound. Waves of burning sensation came from my back. In the blink of an eye, my clothes were torn, and my skin was exposed and in close contact with the ground. The result is imaginable. In just two or three breaths, my back was already bloody and I couldn't help but wail.

If I really slide to the bottom like this, I'm afraid I'll only have half my life left, right?

My hands were unconscious, and my legs kept flopping wildly on the ground, trying to stop the speed of sliding down, but unfortunately it was of little use. Just when I was almost desperate, I suddenly found that my legs were hugged by someone. I lowered my eyes and saw that it was a little person who looked like a Japanese geisha. Who else could it be but a Yin slave? It held its legs tightly with its arms, and kicked the cave wall with its buttocks sticking out, trying to hold me back. Its two short legs were flapping rapidly, looking embarrassed and funny.

"Stop it!"

A sharp shout suddenly sounded above my head, and it was Cang Yao's voice.

I couldn't raise my head and couldn't see her appearance. Only a corner of her red long skirt drooped down and covered my face...

There was a huge pulling force on the rope, and my downward trend was finally curbed.

"We have done something wrong..."

Yin Nu raised his big head and cursed: "Do we owe you anything? You put yourself in a life-or-death dilemma because of a disagreement. It is really unfortunate for my master to have a bond with a self-destructive person like you. Do you know that we were severely injured by your dead-faced master? Do you know that we need time to recuperate? Can you stop bothering us all the time?"

Facing the soul-searching questions like a machine gun, what else can I say except a bitter smile? After panting for a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, thank you..."

"Now is not the time to talk nonsense. This place is too narrow. I can't help you too much. Bear with it. I will let the rope go a little bit."

Cang Yao spoke with a solemn tone: "Recently, I have felt something in my heart and recovered. I have been sleeping. I don't know what happened outside. How did you get here? What kind of place is this below? Why do I feel so uneasy..."

"Master, do you have this feeling too?"

Yin Nu suddenly said: "Is there a sense of familiarity? It's frightening, as if... I met an old friend, but this old friend is not very friendly, or it's more appropriate to call him an old enemy!!"

Cang Yao didn't say anything, but began to let the rope go slowly...

The pain on my back still didn't subside much, but what surprised me more was what Yin Nu said to Cang Yao.

A sense of... familiarity?

This familiar feeling definitely couldn't come from above. Li Siye was a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. He had nothing to do with the Shang Dynasty. How could he be their nemesis?

Then... could it be from below?

Below, it must be the nest of the black snake? Could that nest have something to do with the Shang Dynasty?

My thoughts were confused. The things in Xia Village... were much more complicated than I thought. After sorting out my thoughts, I slowly talked about the many experiences of this trip. Just when I mentioned that the black snake failed to get a title in Xia Village, I found that Cang Yao suddenly stopped and stopped letting out the rope.

"The rope is all gone!"

Cang Yao said softly: "Take a breath first, turn your body, your back can't bear it, and then let the Yin slave drag you down a little bit."

I nodded, tried hard to kick the wall of the cave, and turned my body sideways a little bit.

"Ah!!!"

A shrill scream suddenly came from above my head. It was Zhang Xinya's voice! !

She actually came down too! !

My face turned pale and I yelled, "Quick, break the rope..."

"It's too late..."

Cang Yao's voice suddenly became ethereal...

Then, a man rode on my neck at lightning speed...

The impact was too strong, and the rope tied around my waist slid up to my armpits and tightened fiercely, almost strangling my ribs alive...

However... this was just the beginning...

The people above were like dumplings, screaming and sliding down the cave. The cave was so small that it couldn't accommodate two people at the same time. The result was imaginable. It was like playing with building blocks, one on top of another, and I was the one at the bottom. The rope that was originally a life-saving rope had now become a deadly weapon. Every time someone came down, the impact would tighten the rope a little. My skin and flesh had already been strangled. I didn't know if my bones were strangled or not. I only knew that it was getting harder and harder for me to breathe, and my internal organs seemed to be crushed, struggling and thrashing non-stop.

Cang Yao and Yin Nu...are long gone!!

Zhang Xinya rode on my neck. As the second to last, she felt uncomfortable and kept groaning...

Until...no one else fell off, she woke up from her dream and murmured, "I'm not dead..."

"I'm dying!!"

I opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but the sound came out of my mouth and turned into a "woooo" whine...

Zhang Xinya finally heard my voice, and a strong light shone on me with a "click".

"Er Gouzi?"

Zhang Xinya sat on my neck and stared at me blankly. After a moment, she suddenly said, "Your hand... has recovered?"

I then noticed that my hand had been tightly grasping the rope. It seemed that I instinctively made such a move on the verge of life and death. I was pulling the rope and trying to pull my body up to reduce the binding force of the rope on me...

My face turned red, and I spoke word by word with difficulty: "Cut, cut... the rope!!"

Zhang Xinya finally noticed that I was about to be strangled to death. She quickly pulled out a short knife from her boots and cut the rope in a few strokes. I felt my whole body lighten and immediately slid down the cave wall...
