One foot stepped in the air, the crack in the stone expanded, the center of gravity became unstable, and the whole person fell down.
"Ah - Li... Li... Li... Li..."
Qianhua's first reaction was to use her magic to fly up, but unexpectedly, the blue halo water light produced by the seal with one hand disappeared in an instant, fading into nothing in the lingering clouds and mist, while the other hand could not even see it. Living on the edge of pumice, the whole person is dangling at the end of the cliff like a weak willow in the wind. If he falls down and is shattered to pieces, at least there is still room for recovery of the body. The most terrifying thing is that the soul will be scattered and the bones will be gone!
So, they had no choice but to ask Nan Liyue for help. Fortunately, before he could retreat, the four of Huangmei Broad Bean had already joined forces to drag Qianhua up. At that time, Qianhua's voice for help could still be heard. In the forest, Nan Liyue heard the sound and came over. She was lying on the ground and had no courage to stand up anymore: "I don't dare... I don't dare... I don't dare! If you stand up, you will miss the mark. Shattered to pieces!"
"If you fall, you won't fall to the ground and die. Instead, you will float in the ethereal world until you starve to death." This was Nan Liyue's understatement. He then leaned over to pick her up and said with cold eyes, "I didn't tell you not to come. , now that it’s here, don’t slow down the army’s march!”
"Then...then you turn me into a hedgehog and I hide in your arms?" Qianhua chose a stable and comfortable path for herself very realistically.
Nan Liyue felt slightly ashamed: "You should have felt just now that any magic power in the misty world is futile. We can't fly or jump. We can only walk on foot like mortals. The form you came in is the same form you are now. I'm afraid Death, if you want to become a hedgehog, just go back the way you came.”
To return the same way was to retreat in the face of difficulties, or to run away from the battlefield. Qianhua flattened her mouth and refused!
I am the leader of the invincible hedgehog army. The embarrassing hedgehog just now is not me! Then he calmed down his timid heart and pretended to be righteous: "Today, since I, Luo Qianhua, have come, I have no intention of getting out alive. I want to kill the Father in Heaven..."
However, before he could make an impassioned speech, Nan Liyue slapped him hard on the forehead: "That's nonsense! You'd better follow me obediently and save your life to go back to celebrate the wedding!"
"Happy event?! What happy event? Who's happy event?"
"You and me!" Nan Liyue glanced at her, doting and angry, "I stole your marriage three times, but I still haven't married you..."
When Qianhua heard this, she suddenly let out a cry and smiled crookedly: "Ah Li! Do you know that I have been waiting for you to give me a grand wedding for a long time?"
"I don't have time to fall in love with you here!" Nan Liyue pinched her little nose, and then told Huang Mei Broad Bean to keep an eye on her, then turned around and walked quickly to the front of the team. He boldly began to direct the soldiers who were about to fall off the cliff because of the increasingly strange movement of the clouds, saying, "Bring me the prepared ropes, and tie them to each other in groups of fifty according to the deployment plan, and then follow the order. Follow me and move forward slowly, and try not to leave anyone behind! Unless someone makes a mistake that will drag down the entire team irreparably, you can cut off the rope and give up your companions!"
He gave an order, and all the soldiers began to loosen the iron rings and steel cables on their belts, and fasten them tightly with their companions in front, back, left, and right, in groups of fifty, and in groups of more than forty, in sequence. Move step by step and move forward with difficulty; if a companion accidentally steps in the air, you can still pull it back with the strength of the entire group. However, if there are too many companions who fall and it is destined to implicate the entire group, you must make an immediate decision and cut off the rope. Let go of your small self and become your big self, quickly merge with another group and move on.
Only then did Qianhua understand why the team brought by Nan Liyue did not bring magic weapons or magic tools, but had to wrap those heavy copper ring iron ropes around their waists. They seemed clumsy and cumbersome, but they were indispensable for walking in the misty world. The survival weapons, tacit understanding of partners and teamwork allowed the entire team to quickly calm down their panic in a completely unfamiliar and dangerous environment, adapt to the unpredictable changes, and move in an orderly and unhurried manner.
From falling off the edge of the cliff in scattered pieces at the beginning and floating in the misty world forever, to working together as a team, winning in danger again and again, making choices of abandonment and fulfillment, and finally being able to walk skillfully on the drifting pumice. The pain of watching your companion fall off the cliff but having to cut the rope ruthlessly, the determination to walk in a fog where you can't see your fingers but still facing difficulties, the experience of becoming more courageous and stronger with every setback!
However, Jiang will survive the Pumice Tribulation, but he faces another problem -
"Poisonous scorpion! Poisonous scorpion!"
At the back of the team, the soldiers suddenly heard screams of surprise, followed by tragic whines one after another. It seemed that someone had been bitten by a poisonous scorpion and died of poison.
Suddenly, all the soldiers felt that there were poisonous scorpions hidden in the steaming combat boots, slowly climbing upwards with fangs and claws. They could not see it, or maybe there were none at all, but they were facing fatal danger at any time. The psychological fear was greater than The injuries suffered to the body caused the team, which had just returned to a neat and orderly manner, to fall into chaos again with the roar of the wind, the roar of the wind, and the chaos of everyone.
Because of the chaos, many people at the back of the team were bitten by venomous scorpions and died. There began to be commotion in the middle of the team and many people fell off the cliff, were abandoned, or caused the entire team to lose balance. This continued to the front of the team. The cold moon in South Li Rui's command resounded through the clouds and mist with great penetrating force: "Go forward another two hundred meters, and you will be outside the fog. Everyone, stay calm, hurry up, and don't disrupt the team!"
Qianhua, who was closely followed by Huangmei Broad Bean and protected by four people, raised his eyes in surprise and asked quietly: "Really! How do you know?"
"I'm talking nonsense. Otherwise, they will just die where they are." Nan Liyue whispered back with a cold expression. However, as long as Qianhua took half a step back, she could no longer see his cold and stern expression.
But Qianhua turned around to ask Huangmei Broad Bean and the other four for the five-poison sachet she carried with her. She only brought a bag of poisonous weeds with her, but it was still a bit difficult to poison so many scorpions of unknown origin, so she hurriedly He and Huangmei Broad Bean asked for all kinds of poisons, and then ran along the team to the end regardless of Nan Liyue's obstruction. Facing the chaotic scene where they could only hear the tragic cries but not see the tragic scene, they shouted in the sky: " Everyone, keep moving forward! I'm going to apply poison here to delay the scorpion's attack. If you keep moving forward... if you keep moving forward, there will be no fog and no poisonous scorpions!"
The Queen's encouragement gave the soldiers great motivation. Qianhua vaguely heard the sounds of various difficult movements, gradually drifting away with mutual encouragement and support, and then on the last pumice stone that the team marched through, she sprinkled Swirling poisonous weeds and poisonous flowers blocked the scorpions that were spreading one after another on the dead road where the poison was in front of them and the only way was to retreat.
