Although she had tried her best to prepare herself mentally earlier, she still couldn't accept this terrifying reality.
Looking at the suspension bridge, Zhou Niannian's legs continued to tremble, as if they couldn't stop shaking.
At this moment, Dai Xiaomei had also gathered her courage and stepped onto the suspension bridge.
However, Dai Xiaomei, standing beside her, kept tentatively touching the two iron cables on either side, unable to move her feet forward.
Just then, a low rumble suddenly came from behind.
No one knew what was happening. It wasn't coming from Jiang Fan's side, but from behind Zhou Niannian.
Jiang Fan looked worriedly at Zhou Niannian's back and then urged her loudly to hurry over.
"Hurry up, Zhou Niannian, if some monsters appear there, it'll be over."
Zhou Niannian clearly thought Jiang Fan was just trying to rush her, so he was saying this to scare her. However, he didn't realize that Jiang Fan had genuinely heard a rumbling sound, and Zhou Niannian, being too scared, hadn't noticed it.
"Don't try to scare me anymore. I'm already very scared. If you scare me again, I'll really die of fright."
Zhou Niannian shouted back at Jiang Fan on the opposite side. At this moment, Gun Gun was behind Zhou Niannian.
It seemed Gun Gun had also sensed something. It was originally guarding Zhou Niannian's side. After hearing the rumbling sound, it turned its head.
With a very serious expression, it looked behind Zhou Niannian.
"I'm serious, hurry up and come over. It won't be good if those monsters catch up. I can hear their sounds now, they'll probably rush over soon."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Niannian, incredulous, glanced back slightly. But as she turned, she realized how high the suspension bridge actually was.
Her legs went weak from fear, and she directly hugged the iron cable beside her.
"Is it true? Don't scare me, Jiang Fan. I'm really scared right now."
Seeing this, Jiang Fan was quite helpless. He directly stepped onto the suspension bridge. The swaying sensation made it even harder for Zhou Niannian to bear.
"Wait, wait, it's too shaky. Let's go slower. If we go too fast, I'm afraid I'll fall."
Jiang Fan did not hesitate. He picked up Zhou Niannian and prepared to walk towards the other side. At this moment, Gun Gun slowly followed.
It seemed that after sensing the rumbling sound, Gun Gun dared not turn its head and walk to the other side, for fear that some monster might suddenly appear.
And just then, Gun Gun let out a loud roar.
Then everyone turned to look and saw that the soldiers were not completely dead. Covered in mud and sand, they had struggled out again.
This showed how terrifying their strength was. Seeing this, Jiang Fan also decided to quicken his pace and run forward.
But as Jiang Fan took a step forward, the group of monsters charged forward, causing the already swaying suspension bridge to shake violently.
Jiang Fan lost his footing and was thrown into the air by the shockwave of the bridge's vibration. Then Zhou Niannian also fell heavily onto the suspension bridge.
It was known that the sides of the suspension bridge were all connected by chains. If one fell, they could easily slip through the chains. Fortunately, Zhou Niannian quickly extended her hands and grabbed the chain.
"I feel like I'm going to die. Hurry and save me, I'm falling."
Zhou Niannian was in a panic, her legs trembling as she sat on the ground. However, Jiang Fan could not go forward to help her at this moment.
If Jiang Fan didn't stop the monsters on the suspension bridge, then Dai Xiaomei and Zhou Niannian ahead might both die here.
At this moment, Gun Gun also stayed behind, spreading its claws and moving forward to fight the soldiers.
However, these soldiers seemed to be stronger than the monsters. The weapons they swung down were very heavy, and even when Gun Gun blocked their attacks, it seemed to struggle.
With no other choice, Jiang Fan had to take out his fire axe and resist. Jiang Fan naturally knew he couldn't compete with them in strength. He drew his fire axe from the side and swung it towards the shoulders of the clay figures.
Zhou Niannian, behind him, realized that Jiang Fan was truly fighting the clay statues behind them. Now she no longer cared about being scared or not.
Zhou Niannian's legs trembled as she slowly stood up, then placed her hands on the iron cables.
The monsters behind her urged her to increase her speed. She went from clinging to the chains to letting go of her hands.
Honestly, the difference in speed was too great. If the Zhou Niannian from the beginning had run like this, even ghosts wouldn't be able to catch up. How could she have waited for these soldiers to emerge from the earth?
Zhou Niannian grabbed Dai Xiaomei's hand and they rushed forward together. It was as if she had two motors attached to her legs. She ran while making the entire suspension bridge sway from side to side, but her balance was unaffected.
Jiang Fan looked back in disbelief and saw that Zhou Niannian had reached the other side, still holding Dai Xiaomei's hand. He was a little disbelieving, frowned, and showed an expression of astonishment.
"Does this really look like she's scared? It doesn't seem like it at all."
With no other choice, Jiang Fan could only continue to fight forward.
Because the terracotta warriors were now too close to them, escaping was simply not feasible. They would probably be on them and strike Jiang Fan and Gun Gun in the back halfway through their escape.
"What now? Gun Gun, do you have any good combat strategies?"
"If we continue fighting like this, both of us will probably die here."
Jiang Fan had also realized that the combat power of these terracotta warriors had increased significantly. If they continued to fight here, they would likely be killed by them.
At the very least, they would be seriously injured.
Gun Gun's shoulder was injured, making its combat efforts particularly strenuous. It could only exert the strength of one hand.
Gun Gun seemed to understand Jiang Fan's meaning. It pushed away the terracotta warrior in front of it, causing it to roll backward and knock over some other terracotta warriors, who then fell off the cliff.
Seeing this, Zhou Niannian, who had just reached the other side, turned back with a look of disbelief.
She was clearly relieved that she had made it to this side.
