C104 The Clouds Parted and the Fog Dispersed

Sun Mian's eyes were very sharp. There was something that looked like a flight of stairs on the stone wall. It was obvious that there were traces of someone who had cut it before. He pointed the torch at the top of the stone wall. The scene in front of them made everyone exclaim in admiration. The work of the ancient people was truly magnificent.

From the top of the cliff, there were steps that looked like handrails. They were all hanging on the top of the cliff. Although they could not see where the stairs led to, they knew one thing. These steps were not made of feet, but were held by hands.

Sun Mian immediately thought of this. As long as he held onto these poles, everyone could pass through here. But now, there was a problem. It was whether these poles were sturdy or not. If one of them was disrepair for a long time, then everyone would be in danger.

Zhang Jun observed for a while and shook his head: "Going like this is too risky. I think. . . I think we should just turn back. "

Sun Mian said sternly," We can't turn back. Turning back now had bought them a lot of time. Secondly, the target was right in front of them. It would be very difficult to find this position once they got out. It was obvious that this position was not the same place as the dungeon. Therefore, this is the only path we can take right now. Furthermore, we must take this path. "

Zhang Jun shook his head and said," Then what if these things have been malfunctioning for a long time, and their quality is very poor to withstand a person's weight? What should we do then? "

Zhang Qing was also worried about this and agreed with him. "We can't bet so many brothers' lives. I think. . . "

Sun Mian interrupted. "Then let me test the toughness of these poles!"

Zhang Jun and Zhang Qing widened their eyes. They could not believe their ears. There was also the sound of surging currents flowing from the depths of the cliff. Everyone was shocked by this sentence.

Not only did this require a brave spirit, but it also required a kind of dedication spirit. This time, the sacrifice was not some external object, but life. How many lives does a person have? And how many lives can be used as a sacrifice? Everyone was silent. They really did not dare to gamble their lives. Everyone had a special feeling towards Sun Mian.

Before they could react, Sun Mian jumped up and grabbed a bar with both hands. The bar moved slightly, but there was a solid flat ground under the bar. So it did not matter. The bar below was the most important one. Because below it was a bottomless abyss.

Sun Mian's breathing gradually became hurried. He grabbed the second bar with one hand, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Then he gritted his teeth and grabbed the other hand.

When he opened his eyes again, he heaved a long sigh of relief. However, his face and body were covered with sweat. Everyone below cheered loudly, "Good job, Brother Sun!"

Sun Mian smiled slightly. Next, he grabbed seven or eight horizontal poles in a row. They were all easy to catch. He hung a torch every three horizontal poles and then lit the torch. He took a deep breath when he saw the one in front of him. Judging from the route shown by the torch, the road was crooked.

Not only that, The crooked path did not seem to lead to the cave in front of him, but to another place. The more Sun Mian walked, the stranger it became. At this time, he slightly stomped his feet, which made him feel much more comfortable, because he was stepping on solid ground.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the feeling of stepping on solid ground was really good. He turned around and laughed. "Brothers, I have reached the other side. Come over quickly! Follow the direction that the torch shone on!"

Everyone was overjoyed and scrambled to climb over. Zhang Jun had also barely managed to reach this side with the help of others. What made Sun Mian feel strange was that just now, the opposite side was clearly directly opposite him. Yet now, the opposite side was diagonally opposite him. This meant that. . . This place originally had a road or a bridge coming over. Or a plank road, but for some reason. . . These things were nowhere to be found.

Sun Mian threw a torch forward. The darkness in front of him was lit up, and the entire cave appeared in front of him. However, this place was much better than the previous one, because the ground was almost flat, and it was as calm as sleeping.

A subordinate ran over happily. It had been a long time since he had walked on flat ground. It was a pleasure to see such flat ground this time.

Everyone was laughing at him. However, what happened next left everyone dumbfounded. Because this brother was actually sinking deeper and deeper into the ground.

It was as if the ground had suddenly changed its appearance, just like a piece of flawless white paper. It turned into a ferocious beast that devoured life, and the three of them followed. They wanted to pull him back, but when they got there. . . They found that the bottom of their feet was also starting to sink. They shouted, "This isn't the ground, this is a quagmire!"

That's right, only a quagmire could be so smooth. Sun Mian had thought that it was like the surface of a lake, because this was a kind of lake. It was just a disguise of the surface.

Zhang Qing said anxiously, "This is forcing us all to die! After going through so many difficulties, it was not easy for them to reach this place. Now they had encountered such a quagmire. Sigh! "

Sun Mian frowned and thought about it. He asked curiously, "Since this is a quagmire, why is the torch lying in the quagmire all right? It seems that only people will sink. Look at the stones around the torch. They are also lying on the surface of the quagmire perfectly fine. Could it be. . . "

Zhang Jun continued, "Could it be that this quagmire will only devour humans and not other things?"

Sun Mian nodded. "Yes, or should I say. . . The way people walked on top was wrong, and those stones and torches were right. Did you notice the shape of these stones? "

Someone interrupted: "Huh? They were all very long. It seemed like none of them were round. "

Sun Mian agreed. "That's right. They are like torches, long strips. In other words, as long as we maintain the long strips, we won't be flooded. "

Zhang Jun said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Could it be that there are some monsters in this quagmire? "

Sun Mian shook his head. "I don't think there are any monsters, but this is probably the pattern of the existence above this quagmire. Brothers below, can you see if you can keep your body in a long bar? For example, straighten your hands and close your legs. "

The few people under the swamp had almost given up their hope of survival. They were all immersed in the mud, lifeless. When they heard this, it was like they had gotten a life-saving straw. They hurriedly did as Sun Mian said.

A miracle happened. Those people who were half immersed in the quagmire now miraculously floated up. They cried out excitedly. Sun Mian hurriedly reminded them, "Just maintain this state. You guys take a look. Can you guys move forward?"

Those people tried to move their bodies, but they did not change their long strips. Sure enough, they could move forward. Sun Mian finally let out a sigh of relief. Everyone was also impressed by Sun Mian.

Everyone followed this method. Without exception, they all passed the quagmire. Sun Mian was very tired at the moment, but he did not relax because he did not know what was waiting for him in front of him. He had to be alert at all times.

However, his body was too tired. He suddenly fainted on the way. Everyone surrounded him, afraid that something bad would happen to Sun Mian. If there wasn't Sun Mian along the way. . . If there was no Sun Mian, then all of them would have died here, not to mention saving the young master.

With the help of everyone, Sun Mian finally woke up. When he woke up again, everyone had already arrived at a cave with a bright light. Sun Mian was very familiar with the cave entrance. It seemed to be the third cave entrance, because this cave entrance was the place where the prisoners were kept in the dungeon.

Sun Mian asked, "Why is it here? Are all of you alright?"

At this time, a person came forward and held his hand tightly. He said kindly, "My good brother, you are awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Sun Mian shook his head. The person in front of him was none other than Dugu Xin. Sun Mian was shocked and wanted to stand up, but he realized that he did not have the strength to do so. Dugu Xin slowly held Sun Mian's shoulder and said, "Lie down. All of us are relying on you, especially me. If it wasn't for Brother Sun, I'm afraid I would already be a dead man. "

Sun Mian coughed weakly and asked, "What is going on? Weren't we still in the cave just now?"

At this time, Zhang Qing walked over and said with a smile: "Hey, the cave you were in before you fainted was the place where the young master was imprisoned. So, child, you took us to the right place! Because of this, the young master was saved. "

Sun Mian let out a long sigh of relief. He said faintly, "That's good. Then why aren't we going down the mountain yet? It's going to be dangerous here sooner or later. "

Dugu Xin smiled and said," To be honest, we are indeed in a hurry to go down the mountain. But if you do not lead the way, let us walk the way you came from. I don't know how many brothers are going to be sacrificed, so. . . "

Sun Mian's eyes sparkled as he said excitedly: "Then why didn't you wake me up? You have to know that the longer you stay, the more danger you will face!"

Dugu Xin shook his head and said, "If you didn't rest well, I would be in a hurry to wake you up. Then I am not a heartless person! Everyone knows how to be grateful. Your kindness to me. . . I, Dugu Xin, will never forget it. From today onwards. . . You are my life-and-death brother, and our Dugu family is your home. Everyone in our Dugu family is your family. "

Sun Mian could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes. His tears were flowing down like spring water, and he couldn't stop himself from crying. "This, this, this! Young master!"

He could not say another word. Now, he only needed to use his actions to repay Dugu Xin's trust and gratitude. Sun Mian wiped his tears and jumped up. "I'm fine. Let's go down the mountain!"

Dugu Xin said with doubt. "How is that possible? I don't know how much you have suffered. Doesn't your master know? He told me that you should rest for another two hours. It won't be too late for us to leave the mountain after two hours. "

Sun Mian shook his head and said, "Hey, what's wrong with me? I'm fine. Let's go down the mountain!" As he spoke, he strode down the mountain without looking back.

When Lee Gan walked to the front door of Shen Family, the sun had already set. Just as the rumors had said, Xiao Nanfeng had already found the most inconspicuous corner in front of the Shen family's door and hid in it.

Lee Gan carefully observed Xiao Nanfeng and found that he had become more mature compared to the past. It seemed like this kid had experienced a lot of things in the past few days.

The lanterns were lit and the sky was already dark. At this time, more than ten men in black suddenly appeared in front of the Shen family's door. Lee Gan originally wanted to ask Xiao Nanfeng directly, but now he wanted to wait. He wanted to know why these people had come.

Time passed. Soon, these men in black had unknowingly stood together with Xiao Nanfeng. No, it should be said that these men in black had surrounded Xiao Nanfeng.

Xiao Nanfeng asked helplessly, "Which sect are you from? I have told you hundreds of times not to cause trouble for the Shen family. They don't know anything. Do you really not believe me? My blade has been stained with a lot of blood. I don't want anyone to fall because of this. "

The leader of the men in black sneered," Let me tell you this. We will never be afraid of you just because your blade is faster than ours. You have to know that we are all blade artists. Only when a blade artist dies can he give up. If you want to know our origins, then kill us all. You will know that with just one look! "

As he spoke, the man in black had already rushed over. His footsteps were light and his movement technique was not bad either. However, his blade was a little slow. Xiao Nanfeng shook his head with a bitter smile and slowly pulled out his blade. He thought to himself, this speed of drawing a blade really could not be considered as a blade artist.

When the blade slashed down, he thought that the person would block it. Unexpectedly, the man did not have any intention of dodging. Instead, he exposed his body to Xiao Nanfeng's knife. Xiao Nanfeng was shocked. It was too late for him to stop. He could only twist his blade to the side, trying to avoid the man's fatal position.

The knife cut across the man's body. Along with the blood donation, a pile of grey powder spurted out. These gray powder floated into Xiao Nanfeng's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth in the blink of an eye. Xiao Nanfeng rolled on the ground in pain. He found a safer place before stopping. He placed a knife in front of his chest. It indicated that he still had the ability to continue fighting.

Xiao Nanfeng said fiercely: "I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect that the people of the orthodox martial arts world would use such a despicable move!"

The leader covered his arm and smiled. "We can't get anything without entering the tiger's den. We can't do anything about it. It's your fault that you're not easy to deal with. After all, more than a dozen people from the sects came and all returned with nothing. We are the last group. If we fail again, we will decide to change our ways. "

Xiao Nanfeng spat out a mouthful of saliva and smeared it on his face. "Pui! He is unscrupulous in order to achieve his goal. He is really shameless!"

The leader said with a cold smile. "No matter how you scold me, it doesn't matter. Today, we will take your head, that is also a good opportunity to make a name for ourselves!"

Xiao Nanfeng shook his head. "So, it turns out that you are not here to search for your master. "

The leader laughed. "Hahaha, we do not have a sect master! Xiao Nanfeng, die!" As soon as he finished speaking, the blade had already flown over.

At this moment, there was an appropriate sound. In front of everyone stood a very tall man. The flying blade had already been firmly deflected by him.
