The demon began to speak some crazy words that humans could not understand.
Maybe... not crazy
The two siblings looked at each other. Whether it was Gus, who believed in the way of the iron fist, or Gray, who believed in the power of machinery and steam, they both felt that their beliefs were shaken.
For a moment, the boy even wanted to scream desperately, and then threw the devil's dormant steam ball into the cliff.
But when he saw the powerful super mechanical crossbow that had been transformed by the devil, and possessed infinite crossbow arrows, he fell silent again when he thought of the pursuers who were likely to follow him.
No matter what the purpose of this demon is, it is the only savior for the two siblings now.
After simply cleaning up the corpses all over the ground, the two siblings continued to set off.
Around midnight, they arrived at Yingshou Cliff in the depths of Chifeng Mountain.
Two sharp, smooth mirror-like cliffs face each other far away, and a section of collapsed boulder just happens to be stuck in the middle, forming a natural arch bridge connecting the two sides of the cliff.
After hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain erosion, the arch bridge has become extremely narrow, brittle, extremely unstable, and covered with moss, making it effortless.
If you are not careful, you will slip under the arch bridge, surrounded by mist, and you can't see the bottom of the abyss.
Even the giant eagle in the mountain will not land here when it is resting, lest it will be swept by the strong wind and smashed into meat on the cliffs on both sides, hence the name "Eagle Sorrow Cliff".
This is the dividing line between the hunting area and the inaccessible world of beasts.
The hunting teams in Chijin Town usually go back home after advancing here.
Only a very small number of ascetics who are powerful, determined, and put life and death aside will continue to move forward, and in all likelihood, there will be no return.
"superior!"
Gray patted Gus on the shoulder.
"Sister, do we really want to go there?" Gus asked dumbfounded, stammering.
"Um."
Gray responded simply, seeing his younger brother's fear, but pulled out a rope and tied both ends around his waist and his younger brother's waist, binding the two into a whole.
"Sister, what are you doing, if, if I fall down, I will hurt you!" Gus exclaimed.
"Then be careful, don't fall, go on!" Gray pushed Gus, and the two walked onto the arch bridge together.
Gus had heard from the hunters in the town about the horror of Eagle Sorrow Cliff.
But when I really walked on the arch bridge, I realized that the hunters' vivid and even exaggerated statements were still not enough to describe one-tenth of the horror of Yingshou Cliff.
This boulder stretching in front of the two cliffs can move.
Although it was not an exaggerated violent shaking, it was just a slight shaking stuck in the cracks of the rocks on both sides. Under the blessing of the howling wind, it was transmitted to the feet and spine of the person, still shaking like the earth and the mountains. People are terrified.
The slippery moss made a "squeak" sound when stepped on, and oozes sticky juice, which reminded Gus of rotting insect corpses.
After only a few steps, his calf trembled, and he couldn't help but want to look down.
"Don't look, open your hands, keep your balance, and move forward, we will definitely be able to pass!" Gray shouted sharply from behind.
The sister's cry gave Gus courage.
Ever since he was a child, he has admired his sister the most and listened to her words the most.
One step, two steps, three steps, Gus opened his arms to keep his balance, took a big breath to keep calm, and imagined every step he took was like crossing an arch bridge. He has successfully crossed twenty-seven arch bridges!
Then, the fierce bird came.
It's like a hybrid between a vulture and a bat. It's bald and doesn't have half a feather, but it has a pair of wide fleshy wings. It looks like a mouse. The ugly head is matched with the canine-toothed mouth. This is a creature that only appears in the depths of nightmares. .
Perhaps, these fierce birds once suffered a big loss in the hands of human hunting teams, and they have an unforgettable hatred for humans.
Siblings Gus and Gray swooped down screaming as soon as they saw them.
The scream of the fierce bird pierced through his head, causing Gus to have a splitting headache. As soon as he lied in his heart, his steps became chaotic, his hands waved like chicken wings, and he almost slipped off the arch bridge.
"Be careful!"
At the critical moment, Gray pulled the rope around Gus' waist to help him regain his balance.
The girl took off her shoes and socks, and her toes were deeply embedded in the arch bridge like eagle claws. She held two super mechanical crossbows in both hands, "swish, swish, swish", aiming at the fierce bird, bowing left and right.
The ferocious birds turned into fireballs and slid down from the sides of the two siblings. Amidst the screams, they turned into dots of fireflies in the misty abyss.
"Go, go!" Gray urged.
"Ah!" Gus held his head, screamed loudly, and rushed towards the other side of the arch bridge.
Several times, he nearly slipped and fell into the abyss.
But thinking that his own death would implicate his sister, Gus still gritted his teeth. For the first time in his life, he mobilized all the muscles and joints in his body, exerted the martial arts taught by the Iron Fist School to the fullest, and pulled himself back from the edge of the cliff time and time again.
There are more and more fierce birds overhead.
Fireballs fell from around Guts.
Some fierce birds even lost control after half of their bodies were blasted by the crossbow arrows, and slammed into the arch bridge, causing the boulders that were not very stable to shake and tremble.
"Ah! Ahh!"
Gus roared desperately, dispelling the fear.
He even closed his eyes and rushed forward regardless of the bumps and slippery feet.
When he was about to slip again, he put all his eggs in one basket and jumped over a dozen meters, miraculously landing on the opposite bank.
Looking back, Gray was still struggling on the arch bridge, and the ominous birds circling in the sky condensed into a mass of dark clouds with teeth and claws.
"Go to hell, you bastards!"
Gus roared, and pulled out two super mechanical crossbows from behind. The crossbow bolts roared out like fire dragons, blasting the dark clouds in midair into fireworks.
The charred murderous bird "cracked" and fell down.
The fierce bird whose flesh wings were set on fire flew to the high place resentfully, not daring to provoke the vicious pair of siblings again.
Gray finally crossed the arch bridge and fell beside Gus, panting heavily, looking at the abyss conquered by them with lingering fear.
"We, we succeeded!"
The elder sister punched the younger brother hard, and a relieved smile appeared on her pale face, "Did you see, Gus, we rushed over!"
Gus nodded, with a joy he had never experienced in his heart.
As a good-for-nothing, he finally accomplished something that not many people in Chijin Town could do.
Maybe he's not trash.
It's just that I haven't awakened myself... where is the real power
"Sister, where are we going?"
Gus asked, "Seeing that you seem to have a plan in mind, you still insist on crossing such a dangerous Eagle Sorrow Cliff. There must be a destination. Tell me, no matter where, I will accompany you there."
Gray hesitated for a moment, looked at the abyss and the arched bridge behind him, and finally said: "Although the world is huge, we who have betrayed the way of the iron fist have nowhere to escape. There is only one place that can take us in, and that is the south." Steam Army'."
