"Quick, retreat!!!"
Everyone finally rushed to the waterfall, which seemed to be an underground fissure caused by mountain movement. The river is cut off by the rift valley and rushes down along the stone wall. The originally calm and slow river turned into a roaring black dragon, roaring down into the bottomless abyss. No one could see how deep it was below. They held up their flashlights and shined their light forward. They could see a cliff more than ten meters in front.
"Look, there... there's a rope there!" Chen Tao panted and looked at the top of the rift valley. A thin black rope stretched from several boulders at one end to the other side.
"Climb up and take a look!" Uncle Long shouted.
"It's not a rope, it's a steel cable!"
Yan climbed up the boulder with both hands and feet, only to see a modern thin steel cable on it. One end of the cable was deeply stuck at the root of a thick vine, and the other end shot towards the opposite cliff with no end in sight.
"It's a hook gun! Who are those MD guys, Batman?" Yan shouted.
"No matter, let's help first!"
After holding Uncle Wang up the boulder, Chen Tao and others also climbed up. Yang Lixuan and Ah Cheng were still below, resisting the impact of the soul-destroying rats. After going up, Chen Tao discovered that these boulders were covered with bullet casings. It seems that the group of people also fled here and experienced a bloody battle. In the end, they may have reached the other side through the steel cable.
"Taozi, don't you have two incendiary bombs in your bag?" Haozi shouted.
"Damn, yes, why did you forget those two things!" Chen Tao slapped his forehead, quickly opened his backpack, and took out a black cannonball-like thing from inside. When nothing happened, Chen Tao studied this thing and found that it did not have a grenade-like ring on it. It looked more like bullets from some large weapon.
"How does this work?" Chen Tao shouted.
"Here I come! Sticky Yang, Ah Cheng, come up quickly!" Shangui yelled, dropping the folding shovel, snatching the incendiary bomb from Chen Tao's hand, throwing it towards the rats below, and raised the pistol with his other hand.
Bang bang...
"Holy shit!"
The bullet failed to hit the incendiary bomb, but was blocked by the charging rat. The incendiary bomb failed to explode and rolled into the distance.
"There's more!" Chen Tao took out another one from his bag. A total of three bombs were found in the iron box, and Chen Tao stuffed them all into his bag. The bomb was very heavy, and his back was injured, because Chen Tao suffered a lot from this thing along the way.
Shangui took it and threw the incendiary bomb at the right moment, then raised his hand and fired two more shots.
boom......
The incendiary bomb exploded instantly, spewing out a huge fire cloud, billowing heat waves, and the solidified fuel inside splashed around like lard.
The black vines stuck to the stone wall with kerosene burned fiercely together with the rushing rats, and the dark river bank instantly burst into flames.
There was an unpleasant burning stench in the air, and the soul-destroying rats screamed miserably, rolling in the waves of fire, like fireballs scurrying around. The fire was led up to the stone wall by the running Soul-Destroying Rats, and the black vine branches were burning with crackling sounds. Although many Soul-Destroying Rats were stopped in a short period of time, the fire had already been created and sooner or later it would reach Chen Tao and the others.
boom......
There was another loud noise, and the first incendiary bomb that was thrown also exploded.
Although the mountain ghost was thrown far away, the splashed fuel still affected everyone on the boulder. At the moment of the explosion, everyone was lying on the boulder. Others were fine, but Acheng and Yang Lixuan who were on the edge couldn't escape. The kerosene splashed onto Ah Cheng's clothes and backpack. Although Yang Lixuan was behind Ah Cheng, the kerosene also stuck to his arm.
"Don't shoot with your hands! Throw away your clothes and bags!" Shangui shouted anxiously.
The two quickly took off their clothes and backpacks and threw them under the waterfall.
"Come on, get on the tightrope, the fire is coming!" Uncle Long shouted to everyone.
"If we were ambushed by those people, wouldn't everyone in the air become a living target?"
"Oh! Even if you are beaten to death, it is better than being burned to death and becoming snacks for those dead rats!" Boss Zhang yelled and climbed up the tightrope first.
"MD, just die! Come and help, let's get Brother Wang over!" The mountain ghost spat on his clothes button and tied Uncle Wang to his and Uncle Long's waists with a rope. After Chen Tao and others Climb up the tightrope with help.
"Taozi, you go first, I'm going with the queen surnamed Yang. Ah Cheng, please take care of that rookie!"
"Haozi, uncle, let's go together!"
"You go up too." Yang Lixuan looked behind him and signaled Haozi to retreat quickly.
Everyone naturally understands that now is not the time to show off. Then one by one they climbed onto the steel rope and climbed to the other side while hanging upside down.
"Yang, hurry up! The fire is coming!" Haozi shouted from the steel rope.
Yang Lixuan put the short gun into the painting tube behind him, grabbed the steel rope and was about to turn over, when he suddenly felt a wave of heat spraying towards him.
"Be careful!" Chen Tao shouted on the steel rope.
Yang Lixuan reacted very quickly and dodged. A black shadow rushed out from the fire wave behind him. It was the Rat King! At this time, most of the black fur on its body had been burned away, and the skin under the fur was burnt to pieces. Its one eye flashed fiercely, staring fiercely at Yang Lixuan, who was bare-handed.
The way was blocked and the fire from behind gradually approached. Yang Lixuan had no choice but to raise his hand and punch the soul-destroying rat.
Seeing Yang Lixuan rushing over, the Rat King roared loudly, jumped forward, and bit Yang Lixuan with his sharp fangs.
The Rat King came with great force, Yang Lixuan dodged sideways in mid-air, rolled to the side with one hand on the ground, stood up and launched a whip kick towards the Rat King's back body. At this time, the Rat King was already trying his best. He was extremely fast and managed to avoid Yang Lixuan's attack.
As soon as its front paws touched the ground, its flexible body turned back and rushed towards Yang Lixuan, opening its bloody mouth and biting Yang Lixuan's neck.
Facing the sudden pounce of the Rat King, Yang Lixuan put his hands in front of him and pinched the Rat King's big mouth tightly, but the remaining force of the pounce still knocked Yang Lixuan to the ground, and the rat and the man rolled into a ball.
It is said that two fists are no match for four hands. After the Rat King knocked down Yang Lixuan, his two sharp claws kept scratching Yang Lixuan's arms and chest. Yang Lixuan's clothes were torn into strips of cloth, but the rat king did not see any damage to his chest. Instead, his arms were scratched with several bloody marks.
Haozi, who was hanging upside down on the steel cable in the distance, saw that Yang Lixuan was restrained. He grasped the steel cable with his left hand and flicked his right hand, sending three spikes flying towards the Rat King. There were three popping sounds, and the steel nails pierced the rat king's burnt fur, making three bloody holes.
"Don't worry about me, you go quickly!" While the Rat King was in pain, Yang Lixuan rolled up from the ground, shouted to Haozi and others behind him without looking back, and pulled out a short gun from behind.
Seeing Yang Lixuan draw his weapon, the Rat King showed a look of ferocity and madness on his face. This soul-catching rat really became a spirit, roaring at Yang Lixuan continuously, making sharp squeaking sounds from its mouth.
The fire got tighter and tighter, and it had already burned to the edge of the boulder. Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Yang Lixuan took the initiative to attack the Rat King. With a swing of his arms, he slashed at the Soul-Destroying Rat with two cold blades that screamed.
The Rat King seemed to know that there was no way out. Either you or I would die today. He opened his bloody mouth and bit the blade of a short spear. He jumped to avoid the attack of another short spear and rushed straight into Yang Lixuan's face. Door.
Yang Lixuan suddenly withdrew his short spear and blocked it in front of him. He blocked the Rat King's sharp mouth with the barrel of the gun with his left hand. He bent his knees and sank suddenly. He was under the Rat King. When the Rat King jumped in the air, he threw his right hand into the air. Just raise the gun and stab!
puff......
The gun blade pierced the Rat King's belly and gave it a chill! Yang Lixuan shook the Rat King away with a shake of his right hand, and the wolf-dog-like body was thrown into the fire under the boulder. Yang Lixuan gasped and stood up. Looking at the Rat King rolling and screaming in the fire, he put away his short gun and turned over to climb up the steel rope.
The rift was only a dozen meters wide, and the other end of the steel cable was nailed to the opposite stone wall. Boss Zhang and others who had climbed up earlier had already reached the opposite cliff and grabbed the vines to climb up.
Chen Tao climbed upside down on the steel cable and slowly approached the opposite stone wall. He saw that it was also covered with black vines of different thicknesses, dragging them to the depths of the rift valley below him. Yan and others in front were helping Uncle Long and others to pull Uncle Wang up. Chen Tao looked behind him worriedly and saw that Yang Lixuan had subdued the rat king before continuing to crawl forward.
On the other side, Yang Lixuan was also crawling upside down on the steel cable, his arms were covered with bloody mouths, his flesh was turned out, and the blood was flowing down drop by drop, dripping into the endless abyss.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a ray of fire jumped up from the boulder, quickly climbed up the steel rope, and rushed towards Yang Lixuan.
"It's the Rat King! It's not completely dead yet!"
In the firelight, the Rat King's whole body was charred, and he threw himself on Yang Lixuan with his last breath. His claws were tightly clasped on the equipment bag on Yang Lixuan's back, and he desperately climbed up to die with him.
Yang Lixuan struggled hard in mid-air, holding the steel cable firmly between his legs, trying to take off the equipment bag. However, knowing that he was destined to die, the Rat King was not willing to give him a chance. He grabbed his backpack and climbed onto Yang Lixuan's head. A large piece of Yang Lixuan's hair was burned off in an instant.
Haozi, who was closest to Yang Lixuan, wanted to help, but the rat king was right on Yang Lixuan's head, and the steel rope kept shaking. A misaiming could kill Yang Lixuan.
He put away the spike and tried to crawl in the direction of Yang Lixuan, but it was too late...
During the struggle, Yang Lixuan fell from the steel rope and fell into the depths of the rift valley together with the fire.
"Yang Lixuan!!!" Chen Tao grabbed a black vine and shouted towards the bottom of the valley, but it was of no use. He could only watch the fire getting further and further away, falling into the endless darkness. ,Disappear.
Chen Tao closed his eyes and rested his head on his arms. Resisting the urge to cry, he gritted his teeth and climbed up the cliff...
