C84 (1/2)
Facing the deathly still and endless Nether Sea, the fear in my heart once again spread out without end. I wasn't afraid of death, I was just worried that if I entered, I would be like the people who came to the beneath the Wild Mountain before, and would never be able to come out.
Actually, the four of us here are all people who have escaped death countless of times. In the face of death, we are all immune to it, but in this world, death isn't the most frightening thing. The kind of cycle that goes on indefinitely is the most unbearable.
After a long silence, we all sat on the edge of the cliff. After a long while, Zhu Yingqiong slowly said, ”I feel that we will be the ones who will end this cycle, and not the ones who will create it. Since we have all come this far, if I do not clarify this matter, I will regret it for the rest of my life …”
She paused before continuing, ”Furthermore, who can guarantee that even if we do not enter, this constant cycle will stop? Other than you, Chen Sanjin, there are also Lu Sanjin and Xu Sanjin, many others who will enter the Wild Mountain.
Zhu Yingqiong's words were very reasonable, to the point that I couldn't refute him. I looked back at the ocean, which immediately popped out its eyes: ”Didn't you see what I'm up to? ”I, your father, have never been one to make decisions. If you want to talk about it, just say it, I will go into the water and the fire. If I don't go into the fire, I won't force you either. I won't be able to get any money anyway, so my answer is just to follow the flow.”
The monk didn't need to ask, I already knew his answer. Before Fourth Uncle left, the monk wouldn't be able to withdraw by himself. I rubbed my face and let out a long sigh before releasing the rope that my right leg was stepping on.
It should have been left behind by the Fourth Uncle and the rest. It seems that the Fourth Uncle and the rest had already descended from the bottom of the cliff, and the reason I stepped on the rope and did not let them find out about it was because I wanted to hear their opinion. Since everyone has already answered the question, there's no need for me to hide it from them.
I squatted down and pulled on the rope, ”Since everyone has reached an agreement, then there's no need for me to say anything more. This rope should be left behind by my Fourth Uncle, meaning that Fourth Uncle and Charles's people have already arrived at this place and left.
”Holy sh * t!”
Hai Yang scolded: ”When did Sanjin learn to lie? This caused laozi to feel nothing but joy, and made me think that we came here first, and waited for Fourth Master to come down and take some credit.
The monk said: ”We have wasted too much time at the dam, and Fourth Master has more people, so it is only right for us to arrive earlier than that, but why do they only have one rope with so many people?”
I also felt that something was amiss. Fourth Uncle and Charles's group had at least dozens of men, and there was even a lot of equipment. No matter how I looked at it, a rope seemed to be easily taken down by a single person.
Just thinking about it, I wanted to smack myself twice, it's really a jinx, a really bad person, the Fourth Uncle and the rest are strong, even if they encounter some danger, they would not die just by themselves.
Zhu Yingqiong didn't think much of it and pulled the rope in front of me. After confirming that the rope was very stable, she wrapped it around her waist and then leaped, and swung down directly. She was extremely fast, and before we could even react, Zhu Yingqiong's voice suddenly came over: ”Quickly come down, there's a platform below!”
My mind instantly twitched, and I could vaguely see that Zhu Yingqiong was probably standing at a position about 10 meters away from us, so her voice was a little soft. Everyone looked at each other, and also pulled on the rope to fall down, and a few minutes later, we saw the platform that Zhu Yingqiong talked about!
This was a stone platform protruding from the middle of the cliff. It was only about seven to eight meters wide, and we saw a lot of equipment that was thrown on the platform, including pots and pans, backpacks, discarded food, lighting, and so on.
It seemed like after Fourth Uncle and the rest arrived here, they knew that Nether Sea was the last barrier to the underground, so they abandoned a large amount of cumbersome equipment, and went down the cliff!
But this is also good, it just happens to supplement the equipment that the four of us are lacking. We have already filled our stomachs on the platform, after resting for a while, no one had any extra thoughts, they just pulled the ropes left behind by Fourth Uncle and the rest and headed down the cliff.
