Under the illumination of the flares, everyone found an iron lock bridge made of black chains on the oblique bottom of the bluestone platform. The bridge body was composed of 6 thick, black matte iron chains, of which 4 were the bottom chains. 2 armrests.

Due to the age, the wooden planks laid on the chains of the bridge have long been weathered, and only 6 dangling subway chains are suspended above the endless abyss, not knowing where they are connected.

Lin Pengyi and the others looked at this chain bridge that seemed to lead to hell, swallowed their saliva, and asked timidly, "Comrade Wei, are you sure we must take this passage? It seems too dangerous... "

Weizard, who was walking in front of the team, explained: "Our rescue team has no retreat, but there is only this way forward. Do you think we must go?"

When it matters, you still have to look at the soldiers!

I heard Lieutenant Du Xuyao say loudly: "Let’s go up and see if it’s safe!"

As he said, he made a gesture, and the two capable soldiers immediately climbed up.

In the horrified eyes of everyone, the figures of these two soldiers gradually merged into the darkness...

After more than ten minutes, a reply came from the walkie-talkie, saying that the chain bridge is actually not very long. As long as safety protection is done, anyone can pass it smoothly!

The news made everyone feel certain.

As a result, the rest of the rescue team climbed up the black chain bridge one by one. This time, Huang Bin, who is afraid of heights, was personally in charge of Captain Zheng Hongzhi.

Half an hour later, the group slumped on the black stone platform at the other end of the chain bridge. In this short period of time, every rescue team has been under tremendous psychological pressure. After all, no one can face the bottomless abyss without changing his face.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Weizard took a sip of water.

"Mr. Wei, did you say that Captain Liu and the others also came down like this?" Lin Pengyi asked in a low voice, pale.

"It should be like this!"

Weizard nodded and replied: "Unless there are other'secret passages' recorded on the sheepskin scrolls that can allow them to travel safely..."

"Unfortunately, we don't have this map in our hands! We can only take risks!"

At this moment, from the bottomless abyss below the black stone platform where the rescue team was located, a sharp "uuu" sound came again.

Wei Zede's face changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously: "Quickly fix yourself! Get up... the wind..."

Before the words were finished, the violent wind that had been encountered on the bluestone plank road once again appeared in this underground space.

However, on this smooth and flat black stone platform, where can I fix my body

Everyone can only lie on the ground and pray secretly.

When the wind hit his body, Weizard discovered that the wind was not blowing from the abyss! It's going inwards... The wind direction is completely opposite to what we have encountered before!

This gust of wind turned into a huge suction force, pulling everything into the abyss!

"Ahhhhhhh!"

With a few screams, the rescue team suffered another loss!

Weizard, with his body lying prone and his face close to the icy stone platform, could not observe, and could only judge by voice.

"This voice is from Lin Pengyi..."

But the tragedy did not stop, there were several shouts in succession!

"Zheng Hongzhi... Huang Bin... There should be a few soldiers..."

Just as Weizard was calculating the loss of personnel with a cold face, a man was blown over his side by a strong wind.

Without thinking about it, Weizard's leader grabbed him! But this huge power also brought him off the ground!

"Xiaoning... let go!"

"This... is this Professor Liu?"

After hearing the sound, instead of letting go, Weizard grabbed him even more desperately.

"You can't let go. If Professor Liu dies, the mission will fail... If you die, you will die together!"

Another violent gust of wind hit, and Professor Weizard and Professor Liu pulled each other and fell into the abyss from the black stone platform...

"Everything... is coming to an end?"

In the process of falling, time seems to have stopped.

All kinds of memories are coming! Things that I thought had long been forgotten, scene after scene flashed into Weizard's mind...

"I'm dying... Is this how I feel before I die? It doesn't seem to be bad..."

Suddenly, the flow of time suddenly accelerated.

Before Weizard could react, he heard a "puff"! An icy feeling enveloped his whole body...

"Water? It's water!"

The feeling of the rest of his life drove Weizard crazy, he pulled Professor Liu to work hard! In a few seconds, the two rushed out of the water one after another...

At this time, Professor Liu had fallen into a semi-conscious state.

Weizard hurriedly took out a glow stick for emergency lighting from the waterproof backpack, then looked at the simple compass on his wrist to determine the direction, and then he dragged Professor Liu to swim in the southwest direction.

"Ahem! I'm not dead yet? Who are you?"

In the cold water, Professor Liu was a little awake, he asked: "We are... Where are we going?"

"Lao Liu, this is Wei Xiaoning!"

Weizard said loudly: "Remember what I said in the'Hanging Soul Ladder'?'First get lost, and then benefit. The southwestern friends, the northeast friends, An, Zhen, Ji'... Now we are swimming to the southwest. direction!"

"Oh… "

In response, Professor Liu Kaian fainted again.

Under the abyss, there is no light.

I don't know how long it took to swim. Just when the lake was about to freeze Professor Weizard and Liu Kai'an, a piece of land with the wrong shadow finally appeared in front of them.

"It's saved!!"

Upon seeing this, Weizard was overjoyed, and with all his strength, he dragged Professor Liu towards the shore.

"what!"

After landing, Weizard was blown by the cool underground wind and sneezed.

Seeing Professor Liu shrunk into a ball from the cold, Wei Zede searched for the fire object with all his energy...

After a while, Weizard, who hadn't had any harvest, had to take out a can of gasoline from his backpack and set it on fire with a scythe and flint.

While warming up by the fire, Weizard found a set of dry clothes from the waterproof backpack and replaced it with Professor Liu, while he himself was wearing wet clothes and was trembling on the fire.

"Is there anyone? Who is there? Can you help me..."

"Who is it?" Weizard asked loudly.

"... Wizard? Great! I'm a Taoist..."

Without hesitation, Weizard, who had just slowed down, jumped into the cold water again and swam toward the place where the sound was made.

"Huh? Who is she?"

When Weizard saw Li Daoyi, he found that he was still dragging a young woman.

"I don't know yet! But I guess she should be Liu Ru..."

When Weizard and Li Daoyi dragged the woman ashore, they were surprised to find that she was the target of our rescue, the captain of the archaeological expedition Liu Ru.

However, Liu Ru had passed out in a coma at this time.

"Why is she here? What about the rest of the archaeological expedition? What happened to them?"

A big question mark appeared in the hearts of Weize and Li Daoyi.
