Chapter 439
"I have a way, it's a bit risky." Just when Chen Ziyan gave up looking for the Tianliang in his memory and was planning to find another path, Chen Wenjin said suddenly.
Chen Ziyan immediately looked at her and asked, "What can I do?"
Chen Wenjin took out a gun-shaped device from his backpack and said, "This is it, the ultra-long-distance throwing device. I visually measured the distance between us and the remaining surface of the broken bridge. It should not exceed 200 meters, which is just right for this throwing device." Within the range of the thrower, it may be possible to make a simple zipline using the thrower."
Because she practiced her family's nine-claw hook since she was a child, Chen Ziyan also has a very high grasp of this kind of equipment, so in order to face the extreme situations she may encounter, she specially found a skilled craftsman early on and customized this A thrower whose performance is far superior to conventional products on the market.
"Zipline?" Chen Ziyan looked at the thick and delicate metal thrower in Chen Wenjin's hand, showing a thoughtful look.
He has to admit that this is a very constructive proposal and highly implementable.
If a zipline could really be set up between the stone platform and the broken bridge, then they wouldn't need to go down to the depths of the sea of clouds, and they could use the zipline to reach Huangyu Mountain Peak.
The only problem with this method, Chen Wenjin also said, is that it needs to take certain risks.
Whether the anchor hook can be fixed, and whether the broken bridge can bear the weight of the human body are issues that need to be considered. No matter what happens in any link, it will make the people on the zipline face an extremely bad situation.
After all, once the zipline breaks, the people on it will not return to the stone platform, but will be directly arranged on the rock wall below by inertia, so that they will be severely hit at the slightest, and will fall directly into the unknown depth of the sea of clouds inside.
Of course, the only person who needs to bear this kind of risk is the first person to pass, which is why Chen Wenjin described this operation as risky rather than dangerous.
As long as one person successfully reaches the broken bridge, the anchor hook can be re-reinforced, so that the people behind don't have to worry about these problems anymore.
But for other people, Chen Ziyan was the one who was least afraid of this kind of thing. He really regarded his carefully crafted puppet armor as a decoration.
Whether it hits the rock wall directly with inertia, or falls from mid-air by mistake, these are not enough to completely destroy the puppet armor. Chen Ziyan only needs to tie the torso of the puppet armor with a rope to ensure that the core will not be lost. In the event of an accident, the loss can also be minimized.
And this kind of loss is completely within Chen Ziyan's acceptance range, and in his opinion, it is much more cost-effective than directly using his companions to take risks.
"I think you can try it. The section of the broken bridge over there is not smooth because of the fracture. Even if it can't be used for a long time, it is still no problem to bear the weight of a person for a short time." Shirley Yang simply simulated in her heart. After a while, I also felt that the method Chen Wenjin came up with could be tried.
Firstly, as long as the angle of the zipline is adjusted, the passing speed is relatively fast. Secondly, the weight of the girls is very light, which will greatly reduce the burden on the anchor hook. You only need to seize the opportunity to successfully reach the broken bridge.
The first thing Shirley Yang thought of was herself, and she felt that there was no other person present who was more suitable for this matter than herself.
And she is very aware of her situation, her body has already undergone obvious changes due to being too close to the source of the curse, and time at this time is extremely precious to her.
Chen Ziyan could naturally hear the subtext in her words, and immediately refused: "This method is indeed worth trying, but Xue Li is not suitable for you."
"Why?" Shirley Yang looked at Chen Ziyan in confusion.
Although the three women in the team met the conditions, she didn't think the other two were more suitable than herself.
But satisfying the conditions is only the most basic. If you want to achieve the greatest success rate, it depends more on your abilities in other aspects. In these aspects, Shirley Yang does not feel that she is inferior to others.
"Your reaction ability and experience are indeed sufficient for this task, but..." When Chen Ziyan said this, he paused slightly: "But we can't just think about success, we also need to consider the consequences of failure, your physical strength cannot afford the consequences.”
Chen Ziyan's words were not scaremongering, not to mention falling directly from mid-air, even hitting a rock wall was not something Shirley Yang could bear.
And there is another reason why he didn't say it, that is because of the influence of the curse, Shirley Yang's current condition has long since ceased to be at its peak, and it usually doesn't have any influence, but if it happens at a critical moment, it will be troublesome, so this point also needs to be paid attention to of.
Shirley Yang's mouth twitched: "Are you serious?"
This reason is too far-fetched, right?
She didn't know that Chen Ziyan had decided to let Puppet Jia take the risk, and thought he wanted to use Chen Wenjin or Huo Ling to find the way.
According to Shirley Yang's understanding of Chen Ziyan, he could do this kind of thing with peace of mind, which was one of the reasons why she took the initiative to signal her to explore the way.
"Naturally." Chen Ziyan nodded without changing his face.
He also knew that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't think of a more reasonable excuse for a while, so he could only use it to deal with it temporarily.
"Master Chen, I don't know who you prefer to do this?" Hu Bayi glanced at Huahu inadvertently, and deliberately changed the subject.
According to Chen Ziyan's consistent performance during this period, the most likely candidate at this time will undoubtedly be Huahu.
"Huahu, his body is strong enough, his weight is light, and he has agility. He is the most suitable...'person' for this job." Chen Ziyan decisively followed the steps that Hu Bayi handed over, and gave himself s answer.
"Huahu? Can he really do it?" Shirley Yang didn't expect this answer, she looked at the silent Huahu beside her in surprise.
Although Huahu's figure looks very thin, Shirley Yang knows that with his athletic ability, being thin definitely does not mean being thin, and his weight is definitely higher than that of women like them, which means that the burden on the zipline is also greater .
Chen Ziyan showed a confident smile: "Don't worry, you can completely trust him in this regard."
Huahu is indeed heavier than Shirley Yang and the others, but it is also limited in weight. It is absolutely no problem to do this.
"Well, if you really insist." Shirley Yang was a little helpless, but seeing Chen Ziyan's firm attitude, she had no choice but to agree.
"Since everyone agrees, let's start to act." Chen Ziyan said immediately after hearing the words.
Although he made a decision on his own without asking other people, in fact, no one would object. After all, Huahu, the person involved, had no objections, so what opinions could they "sitting on their hands" have.
Chen Wenjin can do the job of manipulating the thrower alone, but it doesn't mean that she has to do the whole construction of the zipline alone. For example, fixing the anchor point of the zipline can be done by other people.
Chen Wenjin's mastery of devices such as throwers is indeed very high. He only failed once, and successfully fixed the anchor hook on the broken bridge in the distance.
Chen Ziyan tried holding the zipline, and felt that the anchor hook was still firmly fixed, so he waved to Huahu next to him, indicating that he could start to move.
Huahu, who is a puppet armor, doesn't know what fear is. After receiving the order from Chen Ziyan, he immediately retreated towards the passage behind, then accelerated to run, grabbed the sliding bolt on the zipline and headed towards the broken bridge .
Chen Ziyan and the others stared at Huahu without blinking as soon as his footsteps left the ground. They held a climbing rope tightly with both hands. Whenever something happened, they would use this climbing rope to pull Huahu tied at the other end. return.
Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. Under the watchful eyes of Chen Ziyan and the others, Huahu landed on the broken bridge smoothly.
The flower fox that landed on the broken bridge ran towards the Huangyu mountain peak behind as soon as it landed, and didn't stop until it reached the platform on the top of the mountain.
Chen Ziyan and the others will not keep staring at the broken bridge. Even if there is no problem with Huahu falling on it, it does not mean that so many of them will not have problems, so to be on the safe side, they plan to reach the opposite side after Huahu successfully After that, re-fix the anchor point on the platform of Topaz Peak.
Things went very smoothly, and after the initial difficulty was overcome, the others succeeded as a matter of course.
It didn't take long for the group to stand on the platform of Huangyu Mountain. After looking around, Chen Ziyan found that he still couldn't see the situation below clearly. out of sight of them peering down.
However, the material of the topaz peak is very special. It is not the special spar he originally expected, but a special material that looks like both crystal and fossil.
Moreover, the top of the platform has different shades of color, those slightly darker lines actually form a plausible face pattern, but there is no trace of artificial construction. Obviously, this slightly aged face pattern is a product of natural formation.
After everyone dispersed the stone smoke around the platform temporarily, they found a man-made ladder, which was built around the mountain, with a width of about one meter.
"It seems that we have a way to go down now." After looking at the stairs and sighing, Chen Ziyan walked down first.
They have taken protective measures now, and it is no problem to enter the stone smoke, so naturally they will not hesitate too much.
The end of the stairs is halfway up the mountain. A square space has been dug out of the mountainside here. In the center of the space are two pools with hideous ghosts carved on the walls. There are dozens of vigorous and simple white stone statues on both sides. These stone statues are slightly taller than ordinary people, and they all hold a huge stone utensil in their hands.
They have seen this special utensil on human skin scrolls, and it has appeared in sacrificial ceremonies, and it is used to hold gouged out eyeballs.
This discovery lifted everyone's spirits, because it meant that they did not find the wrong place, and this was probably where the altar was located.
And at the back of the pool, that is, in the depth of the square space, there is a groove in the shape of a human being. Judging from the shape, it should be a place for execution. It may be soaked in blood for a long time. The stone groove has changed from light yellow to deep red. Just seeing this stone trough, one can imagine how cruel killings have been carried out here.
Chen Ziyan saw that Xue Liyang's face became a little gloomy after seeing the human-shaped stone trough, so he asked aloud, "Xue Li, did you find anything?"
He knew that Shirley Yang must have discovered something like this, and it was a bad one.
Shirley Yang took a deep breath, and said slowly: "If I'm guessing right, this stone trough represents that if you want to hold a sacrificial ceremony, you need to kill the sacrifice and use it as a key, this key probably refers to blood."
She didn't feel that any gods were really paying attention here, but thought that the stone trough in front of her was a mechanism that could only be opened by filling the stone trough with blood.
If they can't come up with a suitable solution, they will most likely stop there.
This kind of mechanism is very simple, but it is also the most difficult type to crack, because if you want to interfere with the operation, you must enter the mountain.
"Is this a mechanism?" Chen Ziyan also heard the meaning, and asked, "Can't you find a way to crack it?"
"It's actually not difficult to crack this kind of mechanism, but we don't have any suitable materials in hand now." Shirley Yang shook her head lightly.
This mechanism is indeed very easy to crack. You only need to find a liquid that can replace blood, fill the human-shaped stone tank in front of you, and it will open naturally.
But the problem lies in this point. They can't go to the village or shop, and they have no place to find it.
"Isn't the water okay?" Wang Kaixuan looked into the pool with his head and saw that it wasn't dry, so he couldn't help but ask.
"No." It was Hu Bayi who answered him, and he told Wang Kaixuan: "The key to this mechanism lies in the density of human blood. There should be a special device underneath. to this point."
The black glasses touched his chin at this time and said: "I have heard people say a secret recipe before, which can mix animal blood to meet the requirements, but this material is a problem."
"Let's go back now, there are so many fish in the wind-eroded lake above, it must be enough for us." Hearing what he said, Wang Kaixuan immediately thought of the fish in the wind-eroded lake.
The idea of the old white bearded fish and the striped dragon is not easy to fight, but those ordinary fish are completely fine. When the time comes to get some big fish to let the blood out, it will be able to open this mechanism.
Wang Kaixuan's words reminded Chen Ziyan that the water system here is intricate and complicated. It seems that there are some underground waters below the sea of clouds. If they want to use fish blood to open the mechanism, they don't need to go back to the ground to catch fish in the wind-eroded lake. can.
But this is also risky. He doesn't know about other places under the sea of clouds, but the bottom of Huangyu Mountain is not a good place. There are countless sacrificed corpses abandoned around the mountain. It doesn't matter if there is a mountain of corpses below. Pass.
"It seems that the water in this pool is not water." At this moment, the black glasses said suddenly.
When Chen Ziyan looked over, he found that he was gently stirring the liquid in the pool with a dagger.
Although the pool looks like a clear pool, it appears extremely viscous when stirred. It is obvious that the liquid in the pool is not pure spring water.
