Chapter 24 Chapter 1 Ladder

Lian Xing nodded.The two then walked slowly down with the corpse mastiff.The stone steps are not very wide, only about a foot, and they seem to be artificially built, but with the passage of time, a thick layer of moss has accumulated on them.The stone steps meander down and slowly extend to the bottom of the ground fissure. Lian Xing and Sima walked down the stone steps step by step.After finally walking to the bottom of the valley, looking back, the narrow stone steps are like a line of ladders, which can't help being dazzled.The stone walls on both sides are even more like cutting with a knife and an axe, straight up and down.This ground seam stretches straight forward, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

The bottom of the valley is full of plants, lush and green.On the slopes on both sides of the valley bottom, there are overgrown vegetation and wild flowers. On the straight and sharp stone walls, there are several springs pouring down, gurgling along a small stream at the bottom of the valley.Lian Xing and Sima couldn't help being refreshed by the scenery at the bottom of the valley, and Lian Xing's depression of not finding the little dragon girl was also slightly diluted. The two walked along the side of the valley bottom, and when they came to the thick woods beside the creek, the corpse mastiff suddenly let out a low growl, and jumped out with a "swoosh", and plunged into the woods.

Lian Xing and Sima were shocked, it seemed that something happened to the corpse mastiff in the woods.At the moment, the two were fully alert, and followed the corpse mastiff into the lush forest. The big trees in the forest are straight into the sky, one by one.The clearing in the forest was covered with thick rotting leaves, and footsteps fell on it, making a sound of "poof, poof". The two of them walked as lightly as possible, walked out several tens of feet, and saw dozens of big trees lying in disorder in the forest in front of them.In the open space vacated by the fallen tree, stood two men in black.The two men in black were pale and nervous, with sweat dripping from their foreheads.

In front of the two men in black, a giant salamander stood watching covetously, and its saliva was dripping down drop by drop. Lian Xing and Sima stood not far away, watching the giant salamander drooling, as if it was going to swallow the two men in black in the blink of an eye. The corpse mastiff's two green eyes were fixed on the giant salamander, as long as Lian Xing said hello, the corpse mastiff would rush towards it. Lian Xing saw that the clothes of the two men in black were in tatters. It was obvious that they had already fought against giant salamanders, and suffered a great loss.If it was a moment later, life would inevitably be lost.At that moment, Lian Xing and Sima looked at each other, and Sima nodded to Lian Xing, indicating that no matter what, they should be rescued first.

Lian Xing jumped up, jumped in front of the corpse mastiff, and whistled.The corpse mastiff had been waiting for the master's order, and when it heard Lian Xing's whistle, it immediately flew out like an arrow, and jumped out with a "swish". The Corpse Mastiff leaped a few feet away. After a few ups and downs, it had jumped behind the giant salamander. It suddenly opened its mouth wide, bit the tail of the giant salamander, and pulled it back hard.The giant salamander was suddenly attacked, and frightened it hurriedly swung its thick and long tail.But no matter how it was shaken, the corpse mastiff would not let it go.

The two standing in front of the giant salamander saw a strange-looking mastiff suddenly jumping out of the dense forest, and secretly groaned in their hearts.The giant salamander in front of them had already made them miserable, and if there was another such fierce mastiff to join the battle at this moment, the two of them would definitely die.Unexpectedly, the strange-looking mastiff did not attack the two, but bit the tail of the giant salamander tightly, and it seemed that the mastiff came to rescue them. The two men in black were overjoyed, swung their short knives, and slashed at the giant salamander.

The giant salamander was attacked from the front and back, and couldn't help being furious. It let out a strange cry, opened its bloody mouth wide, and bit down on a man in black who was rushing forward. The man in black was terrified, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang", turned around and ran. The giant salamander took big strides and chased after the man in black.The corpse mastiff still didn't let go, and bit the giant salamander tightly, but it was not as strong as the giant salamander, and was dragged by it to chase the man in black. The two men in black were intimidated by the power of the giant salamander, and they ran away in fright.Seeing the two men in black fleeing in all directions, the giant salamander stopped chasing them, swung its tail, and slammed it towards the big tree on one side, trying to shake off the corpse mastiff.

With this swing, if the corpse mastiff was knocked into a big tree, it would be seriously injured if not killed.The corpse mastiff is a spiritual creature released from the ancient corpse town tower for thousands of years. How can ordinary mastiffs compare with it?Seeing the tail of the giant salamander flicking, a gust of strong wind rushed in. He let go of his mouth a long time ago, and jumped up, turning over and leaping several feet away. With a gust of wind, the giant salamander's tail swept firmly against a big tree beside it.There was a loud "click", and the big tree with a thick mouth was broken by the giant salamander, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The giant newt turned its head and looked around for the corpse mastiff.The Corpse Mastiff was standing not far away at this time. Seeing the giant salamander turn its head, it saw the timing and pounced on it again.The giant salamander was so angry that it stepped forward on all fours. Lian Xing and Sima have also come forward at this time.Seeing the giant salamander and the corpse mastiff rushing over, Lian Xing immediately took out the dagger, held it in the palm of his right hand, and ran towards the giant salamander like lightning. The giant salamander and the corpse mastiff are getting closer.The corpse mastiff was not afraid at all, and with all four legs, it leaped into the air and bit the giant salamander's neck.The giant salamander stopped and raised half of its body, biting the corpse mastiff violently.Lian Xing took the opportunity to swipe past the chest of the giant salamander.

The two men in black stood a few feet away, and saw a stream of blood gushing out from the chest of the giant newt like a fountain.With a roar, the giant newt leaped forward, and slowly fell to the ground, with blood flowing all over its chest. Although the two men in black were out of danger, they were still shaking with fright, and their bodies were like sifting chaff. It turned out that in this instant, Lian Xing had already disemboweled the giant salamander!The two men in black stared dumbfounded. They had never seen such a fast movement, nor such a fast dagger! Lian Xing turned around and stood next to the giant salamander, his eyes fixed on the giant salamander.Sima stepped over, kicked the giant salamander hard, and the giant salamander remained motionless.

Sima chuckled and said, "Brother Lian, you killed another one." The two smiled at each other, turned around, and looked up and down the two men in black.At this time, the corpse mastiff had also stood beside the two, staring at the two men in black with two bright eyes. The two men in black were hairy from seeing the corpse mastiff, couldn't help bowing to Lian Xing and Sima, forced a smile on their faces, and couldn't help saying: "Thank you for saving your life." Lian Xing smiled slightly and said, "You two are welcome." Sima chuckled: "I don't know the surnames of the two Gaos? Where is Xianxiang?" The two men in black saw the corpse mastiff staring at them, and they knew that if they made a mistake, the mastiff with green eyes might pounce on them.Not daring to hide it now, he hastily replied: "The two of you are hunters from Coffin Ridge nearby. Later, a big brother came to Coffin Ridge and brought us together, so we will occupy the mountain as the king and fall into the grass as bandits. I don't want to come to the village in the near future I met two guests. Those two guests were very strange. After discussing with our eldest brother in the stockade, they wandered around here, enjoying the mountains and rivers every day. Until a day ago, the two guests and our elder brother After discussing with our eldest brother, we immediately found three or four people, set off together, and trekked all the way here, saying that we would go down to the Tiankeng to explore. "We have known about this tiankeng for a long time, but we have never come down. We don't know what is under the tiankeng. A few of us found a rope and slipped down along the rope."
