Chapter 188 Finally passed
Zhu Chenxu in the front saw that the situation was not good and rushed forward a few steps. He was not affected by the setbacks. Now he was looking back at them with a look of fear on his face. But the most speechless one was Gu Yunzhou. All he could see in front of him was at least three meters away. There was only an empty rope standing there alone, and there was also Jiang Liunian who was holding on to the rope tightly.
At this moment, Gu Yunzhou couldn't help but feel a headache at the sight before him. As the wooden planks fell into the bottomless abyss below, if he wanted to continue forward and reach the other side, his only way was to imitate Jiang Liunian's actions, carefully holding onto the rope and slowly moving his body bit by bit.
So, Gu Yunzhou hurriedly shouted to Jiang Liunian, who still had his eyes closed, muttered something and trembled: "Liunian, try to move forward slowly!" He was very sure that if no one urged him, this guy might really hang in the air holding the rope for a whole day.
Fortunately, there were handrails made of woven ropes on both sides of the suspension bridge. If not, Jiang Liunian would have fallen into the abyss along with all the wooden boards when they fell.
"I... I'll try!" Jiang Liunian felt as if his legs had lost control and were trembling non-stop. Honestly, it was no wonder he was so timid; after all, a fear of heights wasn't something you could easily overcome! He had tried very hard to suppress his inner fear. Although his face was still pale with fear, he slowly opened his eyes. However, his gaze remained fixed straight ahead, not daring to even glance down.
At this moment, Gu Yunzhou suddenly noticed something was amiss—damn it, his Wen Palace was sealed again! He cursed inwardly, almost unable to suppress the urge to curse.
This damn trial is too cunning. First, they tricked them onto this suspension bridge, and then, while everyone was in a highly nervous state, they sealed off the Wen Palace without anyone noticing, just to prevent them from using the power of the Wen Palace to gain even a little bit of advantage and convenience.
Because he was so nervous before, he hadn't noticed this in time. It wasn't until this moment, when he subconsciously tried to mobilize his Wen Qi to help Jiang Liunian steady himself, that he was shocked to find that the Wen Palace had already become a useless decoration. This trial was truly insidious and cunning!
Ahead, Jiang Liunian gritted his teeth, struggling to move inch by inch. The rope holding them together was barely the thickness of a thumb, seemingly poised to break under the weight. Everyone watched anxiously, silently praying that the fragile rope would be able to support their weight.
As Jiang Liunian moved, the terrifying creaking sound continued, as if it was a death warrant issued by the god of death. Every sound made the people present tremble, fearing that the rope would suddenly break at the next moment.
Finally, after a long and thrilling effort, Jiang Liunian finally succeeded in moving to Zhu Chenxu's location. As soon as his feet stepped on the shaky wooden board, he felt a sense of relief, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes. He sobbed and muttered to himself, "Wow... It feels so good to have my feet on solid ground!"
Seeing this, Gu Yunzhou on the side smiled and shook his head slightly, but his smile soon froze on his face, because it was his turn to cross this suspension bridge without pedal support.
Honestly, how could he not be afraid? After all, there was a bottomless abyss below! And at this moment, he was only using a thin rope to separate himself from the danger.
If he were to fall, even with the rope's cushioning effect, the immense force of the impact would likely be enough to seriously injure him or even kill him. Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhou couldn't help but gasp, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
However, despite being filled with fear and anxiety, he took a deep breath and without hesitation, he carefully stepped on the knot on the edge and slowly began to move while holding the rope.
The howling wind swept in, and the suspension bridge, suspended in the air, swayed violently like a lone leaf. He stood on the bridge, his body swaying involuntarily, his heart like a leaf blown by the wind, tossing up and down, unable to settle. Every step required immense courage and strength, as if the entire world was against him.
Finally, he struggled to move his feet, bit by bit, closer to the front. When he finally stepped on the front pedal, a real touch came from the soles of his feet, making him truly feel everything that Jiang Liunian had just experienced. That feeling of being grounded and stable seemed so precious at this moment, it was simply wonderful!
However, their ordeal wasn't over yet. The three of them encountered several more thrilling crises along the way. The most dangerous of these was when the wooden planks beneath Zhu Chenxu's feet suddenly shattered, causing him to lose his balance and plummet downward. In this crucial moment, Jiang Liunian and Gu Yunzhou demonstrated incredible reflexes. They quickly reached for the ropes and, with all their might, slowly pulled Zhu Chenxu back up.
Time ticked by, each second filled with tension and thrill. Finally, after a long and arduous effort, Zhu Chenxu successfully returned to the bridge. By this time, his face was already pale, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, and his legs were trembling so much that he could barely stand. Jiang Liunian and Gu Yunzhou were not much better off, also panting and exhausted.
When they finally walked across the shaky suspension bridge and stepped onto solid ground, they all felt relieved, but at the same time, they were so frightened that their faces turned as pale as snow and their legs became as weak as noodles.
"Which bastard came up with this trial? It's really going to scare people to death! At that moment just now, I really felt like I was about to fall down and reunite with my great-grandmother!" Zhu Chenxu said with lingering fear while slapping his heart which was still beating wildly, his face full of fear.
"Woo, woo, we finally made it. I need to slow down for a while, my legs are still weak!" Jiang Liunian's face was also pale. He looked at the suspension bridge behind him with some fear, and moved his body with difficulty to move further away.
