Chapter 20 It's acrobatics

The grass tube without a lead could not explode, and the slug mud monster was able to continue moving forward. Barde, who was riding the bear lizard, showed surprise on his face, but it lasted for a moment. When he moved forward, he muttered that the product quality of the miners union was too poor, and sometimes lamented that the mud monster was too lucky that he could actually digest the grass tube.

The people in front of him had no idea what happened later. Dagon opened the way in front, and he would blew a short whistle every few seconds, which meant "It's normal in front, keep up." Under the urging of the whistle, the young people in the Jiangu tribe behind could step out their legs more at ease and boldly. The young quasi-hunter even felt that they did not command the two legs. They decided to follow the whistle and ran forward.

Under the gaze of dark vision, the lightless cave must also clearly show its intestines. Where there are stumbling stones and puddles with unknown depths, these are not difficult for Dagon, and I believe they will not be difficult for the companions who follow him. Judging from the whistle of the answer, Dagon is widening the distance from the players behind. His ability to run and jump is stimulated when facing danger, far exceeding his peers.

Also feeling the danger, some creatures that were usually hidden in the cracks of the rocks also joined the escape team. Dagon would not care about those who only care about escaping their own lives; some creatures would basically be shattered by the tail of the hunting axe and become a pool of debris on the ground.

When he came, he went uphill and ran easily when he returned. This was the same for everyone. Dagon had never seen a slug mud monster, but when he heard the word mud monster, he probably understood that it was moving in a squirming or flowing manner, and his speed would greatly increase on the slope. Now he must be faster, the faster the better, and explore the road ahead. If there are underground beasts blocking him, he must also kill everyone with a way out.

The tip of the hunting axe spear was forward, and Dagon was like a charge of a bison. The first fork passed by, and soon reached the second fork. He stopped for the first time, and the hunting axe poked the ground, and took out a lantern and hung it on it.

The hand holding the flint and iron sheet was trembling, but the lantern was still lit and illuminated the fork. According to the instructions of the leader of Valde, Dagon turned at the fork and bent down and drilled into a slightly low hole. After passing through, the tunnel quickly returned to its height and width, and the ground was flattered. A faint sound of water flow came from the front, which should be where Gushui Gorge and Suspension Bridge were located.

He cheered up and continued to charge, running more than 2,000 meters. The sound could be heard far in the cave, and the superimposed echoes often cause misjudgment. Gushui Gorge does not saliva, it was a completely turbulent river, eroding a valley deeper than the previous shed platform.

Looking down from the suspension bridge, sixty or seventy feet down, about the extreme edge of the Jian Gu clan's dark visual ability, the surging underground rivers roared continuously. The river water was mixed with ice cubes of different sizes, small as fists, and large as water tanks. They rolled with waves, rising and falling in the vortex. Judging from their movement posture, the river water below was not shallow, which was definitely enough to completely submerge Jian Gu men.

"If you fall down, you will die." Dagon was like other Jian Gu tribes. He was frightened when he saw this kind of river water, and his legs felt weak. The river in the cave before was relatively smooth and could see the bottom of the water clearly. Dagon would not be so weak. Now he had to knock on his legs to boost his spirits so that he could walk onto the suspension bridge.

The suspension bridge spans a canyon that is ten meters wide, and it is almost entirely due to a prominent stalactite on the top of the cave. The craftsmen of the Jiangu tribe dug a hole in the stalactite, passed the thick metal pole over, and then pulled the rope of the suspension bridge to the metal pole. The rope of the bridge is composed of plant fibers, and perhaps hair, which looks a bit unreliable. However, in the eyes of the Jiangu tribe, except for rocks and metal, everything else is not very reliable, so it is not surprising.

Dagon officially stepped on the swaying suspension bridge with metal plates under his feet. At first few steps, he was embarrassed to say how scared he was. He always felt that the turbulent river water under his feet seemed to rush up and pull him down. His reason told him that these were hallucinations that he had imagined to scare himself, which made him much better.

"Don't look below, why not look above." Dagon looked up at the stalactite. The stone looked much more beautiful than the river, giving him a strong, powerful, and permanent feeling. His eyes turned slightly, and Dagon was attracted by the sling connected to the metal pole. In the few seconds he was watching, the rope of the plant fiber shook off a lot of dust and began to tremble.

"It's almost broken!" Dagon knew what was about to happen. Because of his poverty, he used many old ropes to train or work, which often happened before they were pulled. Now he was halfway through, and when he turned back, he would waste his time. Dagon gritted his teeth and rushed forward!

When trampling hard, the rope will break faster, and Dagon can speed up faster. This is a speed competition, and the winner will be decided within a few steps. Dagon doesn't need to look back at all. He knew the rope was about to break when he heard the sound, so he didn't plan to run to the other side. While the suspension bridge still had the last strength, he stepped hard and jumped forward, and then swung his hunting axe!

The suspension bridge was broken, some ropes were broken, and the other ropes slid off the metal poles, and there was no left at all. The metal bridge deck rolled into the river, almost not even a wave was turned up, and then there were broken ropes.

Dagon was not on the list of fallen into the water. He discovered the problem of the suspension bridge in time and did not waste any time. In addition, he was able to lie directly on the other side of the shore with his jumping ability than ordinary ancients. At the same time, the hunting axe hooked the cracks in the rocks and passed through the belt of the long pole to make it easier for him to leverage the force. It took only a few seconds, and at the same time the sound of falling into the water on the bridge deck came, he climbed to the other side.

When I got here and looked forward, there was a turn not far away. I could see the support structure of the tunnel and the bright luminous moss lamp. "I finally saw the main road, and I had the chance to leave the desolate area..." Dagon rubbed his chest, which was painful due to the impact, turned around, and took a breath of coldness at the suspension bridge.

The bridge was completely gone, leaving only useless debris on both sides hanging on the cliffs, and the still firm metal poles on the stalactites. A distance of about ten meters, completely separated from the two sides, the slug mud monster would definitely not be able to get through, but his companions were likely trapped on the other side and became the dessert for the mud monster.

"Can you use bear lizards to transport them one by one?"

Dagon also thought of this method, but the bear lizard led by Valde is too thin and its ability is doubtful. If you think about the state of Valde's upside down cave before, the bear lizard would be a little trembling and seemed to have reached its limit. If you add one more, it is not that you can't try it, but that something is likely to happen.

There is no time to build a bridge and it is not safe to shake the rope. Dagon seems to have nothing to do. He can continue to move forward, just pretending that he has no idea that the suspension bridge is broken. The few people who can come back will see if Valde's bear lizard works hard, and no one can do what Dagon does.

Dagon glanced at the passage from the cave with the corner of his eyes, and then hummed. He raised his head, looked at the stalactites and the metal poles horizontally above, thought about it, and then began to take off his clothes. He threw his backpack aside, then used an axe blade to cut the straps of his clothes, took off the outer blouse, and then took off the armor shirt from the top of his head.

Untie the belt, and the guardrail and waist protection formed by the armor fell to the ground with a slam. Dagon kicked all these things aside, feeling relaxed all over. How could it not be relaxed? His clothes were only linen shirts, pants, shoes and socks. Now he was in the lowest weight-bearing state, and the only thing he didn't throw them away was the hunting axe.

After he finished taking off, the others ran to the other side of the suspension bridge. The turbulent sound of water would make the Jiangu people stop automatically, and everyone was stunned when they looked closely. The wreckage on the edge of the cliff told the history of a suspension bridge here, and the rumbling sounds that were getting closer and closer behind warned the future of the slug mud monster about to arrive.

"Don't hurry, wait for me!" Dagon roared on the other side, and everyone heard only half of it. They saw Dagon running away, but stopped at the turn of the passage. Then, Dagon passed his wrist through the belt of the hunting axe, flipped it and tightened it, and then rushed to the canyon with a roar.

"What are you going to do? You can't jump!" Doma exclaimed. He grabbed the shoulders and arms of his partner next to him, widened his eyes, and watched Dagon jump at the edge of the other shore.

Ten meters, no matter what, it is not a distance that Dagon can fly, but his purpose is not to fly over, but to hang it up. Dagon tried hard to extend his hunting axe upwards, knocked on the metal pole on the stalactite, and then stuck the connection between the axe blade and the long handle on the pole.

He swayed in the air and slid down for a distance. Fortunately, he wrapped his arm around the belt and did not fall. When he stopped the swaying, he began to climb up along the long handle.

The Jiangu people generally do not make any mistakes in observing the quality of stones, and the stalactites and metal poles are still very stable. They welcomed an unconceived guest, and after climbing up, the man bent his legs on the metal poles, head down, and then turned down.

Dagon hung upside down, grabbed the hunting axe with both hands, and wrapped one arm around the belt again. He turned his head hard and shouted to everyone: "Jump towards me, grab the hunting axe, and I'll swing you over!"

"I can't do it! This is too difficult!" Everyone thought Dagon was crazy. "We are not as capable as you!"

"You must try, otherwise the mud monster will come over and you will either be eaten or fall into the river, and you will be dead! I will do my best to catch you!"

Dagon's face turned red, on the one hand, it was excited, on the other hand, it was because he was upside down. He knew very well that the idea he had come up with was crazy, but he had no other way for a while. Although it was very risky, it would be better to give up everyone and escape alone, right?

On the stalactite in the middle, with his arm length and weapon length, the others only had to jump out of more than three meters before they had the chance to catch the hunting axe. The remaining half of the way depends on how far Dagon can use the power of swing to throw people.

Coax! The sound behind him is getting closer and closer, and Barde rushed over on the bear lizard. He is even more embarrassed than before, and there are many more wounds on the bear lizard, mainly burns and acid erosion. "The slug mud is catching up," Barde said: "We must..."

"Dorma! Jump! Take the lead!" Dagon roared.

Doma gritted his teeth, pushed everyone away, and rushed out.
