Facing the threat from Lou Tianguan, Chen Guishou had to compromise. In fact, he had no other choice if he didn't compromise.

If he had hesitated even a little bit, I might have really gone to the West to see the Buddha.

Human life, in the eyes of us people, seems to trump everything, but in the eyes of the desperadoes in Loutianguan, they are not as good as even pigs and dogs.

Chen Guishou compromised, and we were forced to compromise. Fatty Wu was kicked back again, and he didn't dare to let out another fart.

Liu Tingting was very scared and followed closely behind Chen Guishou alone, clutching the corners of her clothes with both hands.

Gouzi is a very quiet person. He cannot speak, and there is no unnecessary expression on his face. He follows him with indifferent eyes. He seems to be indifferent to everything, but the hands hanging down by his sides are dead. of clenched fists.

Under coercion, we kept moving forward. We didn't know how long it took, but the tomb passage in front of us finally came to an end.

In front of you is a cliff, and at your feet is an abyss, with only a decaying suspension bridge connecting it.

The suspension bridge is tens of meters long, but the fog on the other side is so thick that it is impossible to see what the scene is like on the other side, and it is impossible to predict whether there is any danger ahead.

Beginning with Chen Guishou, a few of us were forced to walk onto the decaying suspension bridge.

We moved forward cautiously, trying not to look at the abyss, holding the chains on both sides with both hands and cautiously moving forward step by step.

Every time you take a step forward on the suspension bridge, there will be a creaking sound under your feet, which is the cracking sound made by the rotten wooden boards.

Fatty Wu kept mumbling as he walked, hoping to get God's blessing and reach the other side safely.

But the next second, the so-called God played a huge joke on Fatty Wu.

I don't know if the wooden boards on the suspension bridge are really rotten, or if Fatty Wu is just too heavy.

As Fatty Wu's foot landed, the wooden board broke with a click.

"Holy shit, help...help!"

Fatty Wu shouted. The moment he stepped on the wooden board, his fat body fell suddenly. Then two more wooden boards were overwhelmed and broke into two pieces. Fatty Wu was stuck in the huge gap between the boards. .

When the house leaks, it rains all night, and disasters usually come one after another.

As Fatty Wu fell, the entire suspension bridge began to shake violently. Liu Tingting, who was already a little afraid of heights, was suddenly thrown out of the suspension bridge. If she hadn't tightly grasped the chain on one side with both hands, she might have been thrown out of the suspension bridge. He had already fallen into the abyss and was shattered to pieces.

"Ah... help, help me!"

Almost at the same time, Fatty Wu and Liu Tingting both shouted for help.

Chen Guishou and Gouzi were closest to Fatty Wu, and they immediately turned around to save Fatty Wu.

If it were on flat ground, and if this was an ordinary plank bridge at this moment, it might be easier to pull Fatty Wu up. However, at this moment, everyone is on a suspension bridge that is still shaking, and it may break anytime and anywhere. On the suspension bridge, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to save a person.

Fatty Wu was still safe, as his fat body was stuck and couldn't fall out for a while.

But Liu Tingting was different. She was thrown to the outside of the suspension bridge. She was already weak and could not bear her own weight. She had already let go with one hand, and the other hand could not hold on for long.

I can't allow myself to think too much. Although I also have a natural fear of heights, I can't just watch Liu Tingting die because of it.

"Hold my hand!"

I suddenly leaned forward, bent one foot slightly to hook the chain behind me, and stretched my entire upper body out of the suspension bridge.

Even so, there is still an insurmountable distance of more than ten centimeters between me and Liu Tingting.

I yelled at her, and she stretched out her other hand toward me, but at most the fingertips only touched, and I couldn't grab her hand at all.

A man can't hold on for too long with one hand, not to mention that the other person is a seemingly powerless woman.

Seeing that Liu Tingting stretched out her hand hard, but did not touch my hand, her body began to sink deeper and deeper.

Seeing that Liu Tingting's hands could no longer bear the weight of her own body, in desperation, I let go of my feet hooked on the chains and rolled over toward the outside of the suspension bridge.

The moment I climbed off the suspension bridge, Liu Tingting was unable to completely release the chains.

But because I flew away in time, my hand finally grabbed her wrist firmly.

Although I grabbed Liu Tingting's hand as promised, because I had no leverage, my body also fell downwards along with Liu Tingting.

At that moment, I panicked. I thought I would fall off the suspension bridge with Liu Tingting and fall into the abyss below.

But I never thought that my feet would be suddenly grabbed by a pair of hands. I turned around and saw that it was a dog.

At this moment, I saw the nervous expression on Gouzi's face and the blue veins popping up on his forehead.

The process was long and thrilling, but in the end Liu Tingting and I were both saved.

"Thank you... thank you!"

Liu Tingting said this to me, and her expression was genuine.

I smiled and waved my hand to her and said: "You are my god-sister. I should save you. If I thank you, it should be thanking Gouzi. If he hadn't grabbed my leg in time, If so, I’m afraid neither of us will survive.”

Liu Tingting felt that what I said was reasonable, so she also thanked Gouzi. Gouzi just nodded slightly, with the same indifference on his face as before.

"I asked you, if you are okay, can you come over and help me? I really can't do it by myself!"

You thank me and I thank you for your patronage. Only after being reminded by Chen Guishou did I remember that Fatty Wu was still stuck in the suspension bridge at this moment.

After I told Liu Tingting to grab the chain, I turned around and followed Gouzi to help Chen Guishou rescue Fatty Wu.

The three of us, after a lot of effort, finally managed to pull Fatty Wu up.

Sitting on the rotten wooden board, Fatty Wu's face was so frightened that there was no color left at all, and the cold sweat on his forehead was dripping down.

"Hmph, if this play is really exciting, what's the matter? Is it over yet? If it's over, cross the bridge quickly!"

boom!

As he said this, Lou Tianguan raised his hand impatiently and fired a shot, which actually hit the rotten chains of the suspension bridge, creating a small gap.

Standing on the suspension bridge, we had no choice but to hide. In front of Lou Tianguan, we were no different from immobile targets.

A group of us were forced to continue moving forward. This time we were extra cautious. We would carefully test every step we took. If something didn't feel right, we would try our best to cross to the next wooden board.

finally.

The five of us arrived at the other end of the suspension bridge one after another, but the fog was so thick that we couldn't see anything. The visibility had dropped to the lowest point, and we could barely see the outlines of the few of us.

Turning around, I saw that the suspension bridge behind me was also wrapped in mist. I couldn't see whether Lou Tianguan and the others had come over, but I could feel that the chains of the suspension bridge were still shaking.

At that moment, I touched the short knife in my arms, and I had an evil idea. I wanted to see if I could break the chain while Lou Tianguan and the others were still on the suspension bridge.

But thinking about it again, if I do that, it will undoubtedly be killing people. I have never killed a chicken in my life. If I were asked to kill so many people at once, I really can't do it.

In this way, I finally chose to give up. Such an opportunity was fleeting. After a while, Lou Tianguan and the others came over along the suspension bridge one after another.

After crossing the suspension bridge, looking at the thick fog in front of him, Lou Tianguan pointed the pistol in his hand at Chen Guishou's head again with a gloomy face.

"Old guy, lead the way quickly, or I'll kill you!"

Chen Guishou sighed and shook his head helplessly and said: "If you want to kill, just kill him. The fog is so thick that I can't do anything about it. If the gold-touching sect of the Northern Sect is here at this time, maybe they can find something in this fog." Got a way out."

"In this case, old guy, then you have no use value. Just accept your death and go down to accompany my damn dad!"
