Chapter 80: is close to reaching the top

Curved branches wrap around the outer wall of the high-rise building like vines. The vertical distance between the 21st and 22nd floors is only about five meters. Converted into the length of the "inclined ladder" of branches, everyone only needs to walk about ten steps.

In just ten steps, if one step is missed, he will be shattered into pieces.

Wrapping ropes around their waists, the five people formed a chain. The one at the front is Wu Chan, followed by Shen Jin, Tu Shuang, Chu Kuang, and Ma Sang.

The others tightened the rope, and Wu Chan took the lead in stepping on the branches outside the building. The branches here are much thinner than those outside the tenth floor. Wu Chan jumped on the spot and could feel the branches shaking slightly, showing good toughness.

"Don't look down." After Wu Chan said that, he took two steps up to make way for Shen Jin. The wind outside the building was strong, causing the rope between the two to sway back and forth.

Tu Shuang took a deep breath and then took another deep breath before she mustered up the courage to stretch out her feet. As soon as she stepped on the branch, her feet felt extremely weak.

Yes.

Tu Shuang, who is usually heroic and dashing, has a fear of heights, but now she is forced to overcome it.

Tu Shuang finally put both feet on the branches. To her, ten steps seemed like a hundred meters away. The strong wind ruffled her short hair. She wanted to step forward, but found that her legs seemed to have lost consciousness.

Everyone noticed Tu Shuang's resistance.

"Don't look down."

Chu Kuang, who was behind him, repeated Wu Chan's words, and then added: "I'm here to make sure you're fine."

This was the most reliable time he had ever made Tu Shuang feel. His words made Tu Shuang's legs slowly regain consciousness as if they were thawing.

She took a step forward and steadied herself.

Chu Kuang continued to encourage: "Yes, that's it. Just think of it as a bridge only half a meter above the ground."

Tu Shuang raised his leg and took another step forward.

Chu Kuang and Ma Sang also stepped on the branches, while Wu Chan had already jumped to the twenty-second floor and pulled Shen Jin up.

Tu Shuang took one step and stopped, and there were only the last four steps left in front of her.

Chu Kuang said: "Go slowly, go slowly."

Just as Tu Shuang was about to lift his leg, a sharp cry suddenly came from the sky, and a figure with spread wings appeared in the distance.

eagle

No, it’s a giant eagle!

It rushes in, intent on hunting!

Tu Shuang watched helplessly as the giant eagle flew over from far to near. She saw clearly the big sharp eyes, the white feathers on the tips of the wings, and the huge curved claws.

Chu Kuang seemed to be shouting something, but she couldn't hear anything and remained frozen in place.

Suddenly, her vision went dark, and it was Chu Kuang who held her face in his arms. He used his back to resist the giant eagle's giant claws!

But the target of the giant eagle was Ma Sang. The strong wind swept through and Ma Sang was instantly carried up to the sky by the giant eagle. The rope around his waist not only did not stop him, but instead pulled Chu Kuang, Tu Shuang, and Shen Jin up one after another.

In the flash of lightning, Wu Chan grasped the rope around his waist. The flying giant eagle suddenly stopped in the air, and the rope turned it into a giant kite. Wu Chan was the iron stake that prevented the kite from breaking free, and his feet were firmly fixed to the ground like steel nails.

The giant eagle flapped its wings again, but still couldn't pull Wu Chan away, and let out an angry scream.

Now it is no longer a test of Wu Chan's strength, but a test of the strength of the rope!

No matter which part of the rope breaks, it will cause tragedy.

Wu Chan held the rope tightly with both hands, unable to attack the giant eagle, let alone expect the person on the rope to pick up a weapon.

But there is one man who does not need weapons.

In other words, he has obtained weapons.

The giant claw dug deeply into Ma Sang's shoulder like a torture instrument.

He pointed his hands together and pointed at the giant eagle.

It was like another invisible giant eagle suddenly appeared in the air, and with a pop, it crushed the giant eagle's head.

The dead giant eagle quickly fell towards the ground.

The rope lost its upward pull and immediately swung downwards, and everyone was about to hit the outer wall.

Wu Chan shouted loudly, golden flames erupted from his shoulders, and his arms suddenly pulled, pulling everyone in before the rope fell past the twenty-second floor.

Shen Jin jumped on Wu Chan, Tu Shuang pressed on her back, followed by Chu Kuang and Ma Sang.

The people who survived the disaster sat on the ground and gasped.

"I almost died." Chu Kuang said.

"After all, it was your good idea." Ma Sang said.

"I didn't expect that there would be a giant eagle to join in the fun." Chu Kuang said, "How about it, does it hurt enough?"

"The pain is so painful that I almost fainted," Ma Sang said.

There was a big hole in the battle suit on his shoulder, but the wound had healed.

He just used the superpower of the injured substitute to transfer the force of the giant eagle's claws on his shoulders to the giant eagle's own head, thus crushing it.

But once Ma fainted from pain just now, everything was over.

"Chu Kuang," Tu Shuang said after he recovered, "Thank you just now."

"Thank you for what?" Chu Kuang asked.

"You protected me just now." Tu Shuang said.

"Nonsense, we are teammates. You were frozen like that at that time. If I didn't help you block it, you would probably be crushed to death by the giant eagle's claws. Enough people have died on the Iron War Horse." Chu Kuang said.

He originally didn't want Tu Shuang to owe him a favor, but what he said led the atmosphere of survival in a heavy direction.

He eased the atmosphere and said: "I was ready to sacrifice myself, but I didn't expect that the giant eagle took a fancy to the boss at a glance."

Everyone remained silent, and Chu Kuang had no choice but to continue what he said in embarrassment: "So that should be a female eagle."

Wu Chan said: "Both the male and female are dead. I hope I don't have to go through this again. I may not be able to react so quickly next time."

Shen Jin added: "And the rope can still be as strong as this time."

After everyone recovered their physical strength and spirits, they began to continue climbing the mountain.

Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five...

During this period, I only killed two demons and spent most of my time on the road.

When I climbed to the twenty-seventh floor.

Everyone stopped for dinner. In the middle of the night, two spider-level demons came to sneak attack. Chu Kuang, who had a keen sense of smell, caught them from the shadows and beat them to death.

The next day.

In one morning, everyone climbed to the thirty-fifth floor in one breath. The key reason was that they did not encounter a single demon, and the clean water they stored had bottomed out, leaving only the last 1L.

If there were no demons from the thirty-sixth floor to the thirty-ninth floor, and Wu Chan picked the hell mandala relatively quickly, then everyone could go down the mountain without setting up camp to rest. After all, no matter how poisonous the poisonous mountain is, it is impossible to replenish new demons so quickly.

Thirty-seven floors.

Everyone smelled a faint and strange aroma. It's the smell of the scarlet phantom sea.

Thirty-nine floors.

Everyone saw the scarlet phantom sea.

The light red mist permeates the entire stairwell, as if once you step into the red mist, you will enter another world.

"The rest is up to you." Ma Sang said to Wu Chan.

"You should also be more careful." Wu Chan said.

"I promise that when you come back, you will see us alive." Chu Kuang said.

Tu Shuang elbowed him: "Can you please stop planting the flag!"

Shen Jin looked at Wu Chan: "We are waiting for you to come back."

Wu Chan nodded: "Yes."

Afterwards, he stepped onto the steps into the red mist. It was obviously a very light fog, but he just took a few steps up and completely disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Wu Chan passed the stairs on the 39th floor and arrived at the 40th floor. The stairs leading to the forty-first floor were blocked, and he had to go through this floor to get to the stairs at the other end.

There were footsteps behind him, and someone was worried about Wu Chan chasing after him.

When Wu Chan turned around, the man was startled.

"How did you get here?"

The speaker was a woman with short hair.

Not Tu Shuang.

Rather,

The ten heroes guarding the city, Lianrou.

"I waited for you a long time."

she said with a smile.
