Chapter 241
This is a cliff, and there is an abyss at the bottom, and there is a gray single-plank bridge in front of it, which connects to another cliff.
It was dark, deeply dark, oppressively dark.
Zheng Xie and Nangong Ya saw the single-plank bridge in front of them at first glance, and also saw a wooden board in front of the single-plank bridge, on which was written "pass through after walking", the meaning is very simple, and they all understand it.
"Who will come first?" Zheng Xie asked after looking at Nangong Ya who was gradually calming down.
Although the wooden board did not say that they cannot walk together, they felt that this single-plank bridge only allows one person to walk, that is to say, only one person can walk or fail, and the other can walk.
Hearing this, Nangong Ya hesitated.
"Then I'll come first." Zheng Xie murmured softly, then walked forward resolutely.
But suddenly, Nangong Ya's heart moved, and she shouted: "Wait."
Hearing the sound, Zheng Xie paused, turned his head, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Nangongya looked a little troubled, but in the end she said, "It's okay."
At this moment, Zheng Xie also seemed to realize something, he said: "Don't worry! I won't die."
The original environment cannot fly, so there is only one result of falling off the single-plank bridge, and that is death.
But Nangongya didn't know that even if she was in the critical state, she would lose the ability to fly the moment she stepped onto the single-plank bridge, so the two of them are fair in this second stage.
"On a single-plank bridge, you can only move forward, and you can't turn back. Turning back is death."
Just as Zheng Xie stepped forward with his left foot and stepped on the single-plank bridge, a voice rang in his mind, which made his eyes shrink sharply, and his face suddenly became surprised, but before he had time to react, a white light shot across His body... was completely enveloped.
……
The wind blows gently.
In a sparsely populated place, there is a curl of cooking smoke, which slowly disappears into the air with the direction of the wind.
Here, it is quiet and harmonious.
This is a rather remote village, and most of the villagers in it have not cultivated profound strength, so ordinary people account for the majority... But they live here, but they are hardworking and capable, so they are very fulfilled and carefree.
The name of this village is Anluo, and most people in the village rely on adult men to hunt. Of course, not only adults, but also children in the village will follow those adults to hunt in the forest or mountains after a certain age. practice, so that they can hunt alone and make corresponding contributions to the family.
The name of the village head is Chen Zhou, a middle-aged man. Although he looks rough, he gives people a kind of approachable feeling. He is considered a good person in the village, and he is the only one in the village whose profound strength has reached the middle stage of the original state. He has helped the villagers hunt and protect them for a long time, so he has a very good reputation in the village, and the villagers love him very much.
In addition, the children in the village also like to go to his house to play. The reason is that he is more kind, because he often hunts in forests and mountains, and he hunts the most, so his family collects them. Many strange animal bones and animal skins have aroused many children's interest in novelty.
And he himself is more willing to explain to these children and enrich their knowledge, so that when they grow up, they can learn more about wild animals in hunting.
On this day, Chen Zhou took ten children about seven or eight years old around the house covered with animal skins and bones, explaining to them as usual.
He looked at the ten people, pointed at a black animal hide, and said softly: "This is the animal hide of a black cow. It is a fourth-order beast. Its skin is as thick as iron, so its defense is relatively strong. But because of its large size, its speed is not fast, so when fighting with it, you must be careful not to attack it head-on, fighting is the best choice."
At this moment, the children all showed their concentration and listened carefully to Chen Zhou's explanation.
Seeing this, Chen Zhou smiled slightly in his heart, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised a slight arc, then he took a few steps forward, and his eyes fell on a long pointed object, like a horn : "This is the head horn of the thorny tiger. It has the opposite ability to the black bull. It is extremely fast, but it is not as powerful as the black bull..."
"But if you encounter a Tier [-] Assassin Tiger, you must remember to win in the fastest way. If you don't have that ability, you must leave as soon as possible..." Chen Zhou looked at the children again and paused for a moment, and then asked, "Does anyone know why?"
Hearing this, some of the children thought about it, some disturbed their heads, and some looked directly at Chen Zhou with expectant eyes.
After a while, a childish voice sounded slowly and tremblingly: "I heard... Brother Zheng said... that... that thorny tiger... in normal times... likes to walk alone..."
"But if life is in danger...it has a special way to call its companions...and this way can only be used by Tier [-] and above..." In the end, the child saw that Chen Zhou didn't reprimand him. , The confidence suddenly gained, and the words were finished all at once.
Chen Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled again: "Xiao Zheng is indeed well-informed... Well, I'm here for today, let's go back first!"
After hearing this, the children didn't think too much, they whispered softly, and walked out of Chen Zhou's room one after another.
After all the children walked out, Chen Zhou looked in one direction of the village and muttered to himself: "It's been so many days, it seems that I need to find a chance to visit him!"
……
The next day, dawn.
When the first ray of sunshine shone on this harmonious village, many villagers slowly woke up from their sleep, and they started working hard for the day...
In a small wooden house to the north of Anluo Village, a young man gently opened the door of his room. He looked ordinary, but he gave people a sense of affinity. He felt the sunlight and looked up at the The sky, with a slight smile, that smile is full of hope for life.
"Brother Zheng, good morning!" A delicate and cheerful voice came.
Following the voice, he saw a very juicy-looking girl, about seventeen, with two ponytails lying quietly on her shoulders, looking very vigorous.
At this moment, the girl had already walked to his side.
The young man obviously knew this girl, he smiled again, and greeted casually: "Good morning! Chu Yu... By the way, why did you get up so early today? This is a bit unlike you!"
When Chu Yu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Brother Zheng, I usually wake up very early, okay?"
The young man showed a strange expression: "Is that so? How did I hear that Miss Chu usually sleeps until the sun is high, or does she only wake up when her parents call her?"
Hearing this, Chu Yu's face turned red immediately, and she said in a very low voice, "I...I..."
Until the end, she "I" didn't utter a complete sentence for a long time, but she had made up her mind to pay attention in her heart, and she would not sleep for so long without saying anything.
Seeing that Chu Yu was serious, the young man immediately chuckled: "Okay, okay! It's just a joke, it's just a joke..."
Chu Yu's expression changed instantly, showing a little dissatisfaction. She didn't speak, but changed to an expression of "how dare you make fun of me, you can figure it out".
Seeing that what he said didn't have any positive effect, but instead aroused dissatisfaction from the other party, the young man smiled bitterly in his heart, feeling a little emotional... What a woman's heart, a needle in the bottom of the sea...
"Xiao Zheng, good morning!"
Just as he was about to speak again, another strong voice came over.
When the two heard it, they unconsciously looked at the owner of the voice.
This person is a man, about 25 years old, looks a little simple and honest, but his pace is a little hasty, presumably there is something wrong.
When the young man saw the person coming, his eyes lit up, and he immediately felt a sense of liberation. He ignored Chu Yu, walked to the front quickly, and greeted him: "Brother Hu, you are here. Seeing that you are in such a hurry, could it be that there is something wrong with you?" What's the matter?"
Chu Yu, who was left cold on the side, looked at Dai Hu in vain, and cursed Dai Hu countless times in his heart: "If you don't come sooner or later, why come at this time, it's really... Humph! Look at me How will I deal with you in the future?"
