The sparse sounds are getting closer and closer, slowly approaching us along the chain bridge.
My vision was too dim. I could only look up and see the faint outline of the building in front of me, but I couldn't see clearly what was there.
"Fat man, did you hear the sound in front of you?"
I felt nervous and couldn't help but look back at Cui Hao.
Cui Hao's voice came from behind me.
"It's so deep under the ground, it could be something like a rat. Don't scare me."
The fat man grabbed the rope and quickly climbed to my feet.
The distance between the two of us is less than 10,000 meters.
I could feel the fat man's hand pushing against the sole of my foot.
"Hurry up and crawl, I can't hold on anymore."
I nodded.
No matter what lies ahead, I shouldn't stop here.
I turned around and continued crawling forward, Cui Hao following closely behind me.
The closer to the end of the chain, the more obvious the sound becomes.
It seemed like something was scratching on the wall, but I couldn't find any clues within the scope of my flashlight.
"Strange, where did this sound come from?"
I looked in front of me in confusion, and couldn't help but use my flashlight to carefully shine around the corners, trying to find the thing that made the sound.
But there was clearly only sound coming from the front, but nothing could be seen.
"Where was this thing hidden?"
I felt vaguely uneasy in my heart and never dared to step forward.
Cui Hao couldn't bear it anymore and kept raising his head to urge me.
"Hurry up, climb up quickly. I really can't hold on anymore, I'm about to fall."
I know I can't waste any more time.
So I could only suppress the fear in my heart, grab the rope tightly and crawl forward.
Finally climbed to the end of the passage.
I pulled in the rope and grabbed the wall on the other side of the rope, then jumped up.
Finally he stood on the ground again.
I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and regained my strength all over my body.
Cui Hao extended a hand to me.
"Help me, give me a hand."
I quickly stepped forward to help, grabbing Cui Hao's wrist and pulling him up.
Soon I dragged Cui Hao up.
But just when I was about to drag Cui Hao to the shore, I suddenly saw Cui Hao's body shaking suddenly, as if he was caught by something.
He struggled hard and swung his legs.
"Master Man, you must catch me. Something has caught my feet."
I looked along the soles of his feet.
On his two ankles, he saw two dark claws.
The claws extend from the rock wall.
The sharp claws clasped Cui Hao's soles fiercely, and were pulling Cui Hao down hard.
Fortunately, I had already lifted half of his body up just now, and the two of us used our strength together to prevent him from being dragged down by the hands below.
Cui Hao grabbed the ground next to him and climbed up hard.
"Hold on tight, I'm going to see what it is."
After I confirmed that Cui Hao was clinging to the bulge on the ground, I immediately turned around and clasped his waist firmly, and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
I clearly saw two arms stretching out from under the cliff, holding Cui Hao tightly and not letting go.
This thing is extremely powerful.
If we remain in a stalemate for a while, I'm afraid Cui Hao won't be able to hold on and will be dragged to the bottom of the cliff by this thing.
Thinking of this, I simply took out the dagger on my body and stabbed it hard into the two dark wrists.
There was a pop, and the handle of the knife penetrated the flesh.
The black wrists felt pain, and they all retracted in an instant.
Cui Hao also took advantage of this time to crawl up to the ground and get as far away from the cliff as possible.
I retreat quickly.
Just when I retreated two or three meters away.
Two more hands stretched out from the bottom of the cliff and grabbed the spot where I was standing just now.
I stared nervously at the edge of the cliff.
Shine a flashlight at the edge to see what's underneath.
But I couldn't see clearly what was going on below.
I could only clearly see palms stretching out one after another from the edge of the cliff.
These palms were extremely black and looked like they were burnt.
They were scratching frantically toward the shore one by one, as if they wanted to drag us all down.
If the two of us hadn't dodged quickly enough, we might have been caught and quartered by these palms by now.
I grabbed Cui Hao tightly and distanced myself from that thing.
"I don't know what the hell this is. Let's stay as far away as possible."
I watched for another two or three minutes and confirmed that these things would not climb up from below.
They seemed to be fixed on the edge of the cliff. Although their arms were stretched out, they could only extend half an arm's length and could not climb up from it.
After observing this again, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I grabbed Cui Hao tightly and pointed at the palace standing behind us.
"Let's go, don't worry about what this is. Anyway, it's better to stay far away. Let's go to the palace immediately and take a look. If there's nothing we need, we'll evacuate immediately."
Cui Hao obviously didn't want to stay in this ghost place.
He nodded at me and immediately followed me towards the palace.
The two of us sped up and quickly arrived at the bottom of the palace.
We just didn't expect it.
This palace is actually not built on the high platform we are on. Instead, it seems to be embedded in the wall with special craftsmanship.
At least it is a hundred meters away from the high platform we are standing on.
Embedded above our heads, it towers majestically and stands proudly above the crowd.
Cui Hao stared blankly at the palace above his head, and it took him a long time to say something.
"It's so high, even if we had wings we wouldn't be able to fly up!"
I nodded and looked around.
Since there is such a high platform and even a cable bridge, there is absolutely no way to go up.
"Let's look around and see if we can find a way up."
Cui Hao muttered, obviously not happy to leave.
I smiled back at him.
"Think about it, haven't we all found treasures before? Such a big palace must be full of good things. If we climb in, you will definitely get a lot of good treasures."
Cui Hao had to brush his hair along his hair to be obedient and obedient.
After hearing what I said, he immediately changed his attitude and began to look around for a way to climb up with a smile.
I breathed a sigh of relief and immediately searched around.
We don't have much time, we have to climb up as soon as possible.
I went to the left side, searched the left side carefully, and even touched the surrounding walls carefully.
The walls were cold and slippery. There were no traps or secret doors on them, and there was no way to go up.
Just when I was in despair.
Cui Hao suddenly shouted.
"Master Xiaoman, come here quickly and take a look here."
I turned around quickly and rushed to his side.
Cui Hao pointed forward with his hand.
Look in the direction of his finger.
I saw the towering stone pillars of friendship on the wall not far in front of us.
On the outer edge of the stone pillar, there is a stone slab nearly one meter wide and 20 centimeters long.
These stone slabs spread out in the shape of flowers, slowly forming a spiral shape from bottom to top, following the stone pillars directly to the heaven.
It clearly leads directly to the space above.
This is a staircase.
I couldn't help but swallow when I saw the 100-meter-high staircase.
There are no guardrails on the outside of this staircase. If you accidentally fall from it, you will definitely be smashed into a pulp.
Cui Hao looked back at me.
"How about it, go up or not?"
I was also a little hesitant.
With the skills of the two of us, it's not too difficult to go up.
But the height is too high, and I don’t know what to do with it.
"Fat man, do you want to go up?"
I decided to look at Cui Hao's opinion.
He shrugged at me nonchalantly.
"If you want to go, then I will go with you. I'm not afraid anyway. The worst is to die. If you die in front of this underground palace, it will be more honorable."
Cui Hao's brain circuit is completely different from that of ordinary people.
But talking to him in a funny way made me feel a lot more relaxed.
I looked above my head and made my decision.
"Fat man, follow me."
I pulled out the rope and tied one end around his waist, and the other end was tied to myself.
I also made a half turn of the rope around the cylinder.
"Let's go! Keep the two of us entwined together. If you accidentally fall, I can still hold you up."
Cui Hao looked at me with joy.
"If I did fall, I feel like with your small frame, I would have to pull you down instead of you pulling me up."
While joking, I had already reached the edge of the stone slab and crawled up it.
The stone slab was long and reached the top. I slowly groped my way up the stone slab, barely daring to straighten up.
The other hand was firmly clasping the tall stone pillar in the middle. Every time I lowered my head and walked forward, I felt like I was stepping on the edge of a cliff.
Fortunately, although the stone slab is not wide, the installation is still relatively stable.
We climbed up for six or seven meters, and we climbed steadily up the rock without any shortfalls.
For more safety.
Every time I stepped on the stone slab, I would carefully press down to ensure the stability of the stone slab before putting my entire weight on it.
Cui Hao was much more careless when he followed me.
He is only responsible for following me forward and does not have to worry about too many things.
The two of us just went one behind the other, holding each other with ropes and climbing up about twenty or thirty meters.
This is already more than ten stories high.
We look down.
All I saw was pitch black beneath my feet.
I turned on the flashlight and looked down.
As the flashlight light shines onto the edge of the cliff on the ground.
Once again, I clearly saw a hand reaching out from the edge of the cliff, groping upwards.
My flashlight was aimed at the corner.
At the corner, I clearly saw this hand coming out of the wall.
