Hu Die Lan

Chapter 278 Sinister Zhan Wu Shang

Screams echoed from the rickety wooden bridge, piercing the mist in the abyss below. Gu Fei and the others craned their necks, eager to hear the heart-stopping thump of something heavy hitting the ground. It was said that this sound was magical, and the depth of valleys, rivers, and lakes could be estimated by listening to the impact. Of course, throwing people was a bit cruel.

Everyone strained to listen, but the pale-faced guys clinging to the wall turned green and trembled, saying, "Don't listen, you won't hear anything..."

"No sound? It's that deep?" The crowd discussed, but indeed, the person had been falling for a long time, the cries faded, but the thud never came.

"Could this mountain be that high?" Gu Fei muttered.

June Rain was still hugging the plank, watching a person disappear before her eyes. She was stunned for a moment and said, "How did he just fall?"

"Is this bridge not sturdy?" June Rain said, stamping her feet twice.

"Ahhh!" A chorus of screams erupted. The Power Warrior's two stomps made the bridge shake violently. Every player on the bridge was scared half to death. Half of them were already bent over, crawling on the bridge, devolved into reptiles, glaring at June Rain. At this moment, beauty could not stop the hateful gazes.

Unfortunately, June Rain didn't notice the gazes at all, or even if she did, she wouldn't understand. She lowered her head, muttering, "It's okay, it's quite stable." Saying that, she took a big step forward, continuing ahead, while the people behind her cried, "Milady, put that plank back!"

But June Rain, either lost in thought and didn't hear, or heard but didn't realize they were talking to her, just walked away with the plank under her arm.

The brother behind her immediately retreated from the bridge. Most of the girls by the bridge were from Rebirth Purple Crystal, watching him and saying, "Brother, are you serious? It's just one plank missing, just step over it."

The man looked at June Rain's back, "I'll wait for that milady to cross first!"

The Rebirth Purple Crystal girls naturally knew June Rain best. Thinking about it, they also felt that June Rain stomping around up there was too terrifying. The girls had been feeling uneasy about the bridge for a while now. Not all girls were as tough as Fine Waist Dance, or as brainless as June Rain.

Even so, there were definitely no pale faces among the girls. The guys with pale faces seemed to have made up their minds to give up. They were just waiting for everyone to cross the bridge and clear the way so they could return to Cloud City. Among them were girls from Across the World and other mercenary groups, making many lonely wolves regret endlessly.

The guys from Young Master Elite Group looked quite calm. Although there was You-ge, who liked to worry unnecessarily, he always based his concerns on facts and evidence. So many people had crossed the bridge successfully in front of him, proving that there was no problem, so he wasn't worried at all.

In the spirit of ladies first, the guys from the elite group let the Rebirth Purple Crystal girls cross one by one, and then they went on the bridge. You-ge was the first, stepping on firmly, and feeling even more at ease. He walked across simply. Then came Sword Demon, Young Master Han, Gu Fei, Yutian Shenming, and finally War Without Wounds. This guy suddenly grabbed Yutian Shenming: "Yutian, is the bridge strong?"

"Nonsense!" Yutian Shenming said.

"If I, with my weight, go on it, will it still be strong?" War Without Wounds asked.

Yutian Shenming's eyes began to wander. He had never seen a warrior as wide and sturdy as War Without Wounds on the bridge. But seeing War Without Wounds' hesitant look, Yutian Shenming was not worried at all, but rather excited. He shouted, "What, are you scared?"

"What are you talking about? Why would I be scared? I just think this plank is a bit thin... a bit brittle," War Without Wounds said.

Yutian Shenming nodded: "Then according to the principles of physics, you can lie on it, the contact area is large, and the pressure will be small. I suggest lying down completely, crawling forward, hahaha!" Yutian Shenming finished speaking and happily left.

"Brother, are you going?" The players behind saw War Without Wounds' expression and thought that this guy was probably going to be a pale face on the side, so they started urging him to make way.

There were still Rebirth Purple Crystal girls in front, and many of them were turning back to look. The concerned gazes made War Without Wounds harden his heart: "I'm going, why wouldn't I go!" With that, War Without Wounds stepped onto the bridge.

It was different, indeed. When War Without Wounds stepped on it, the bending of the plank was indeed very different from when others stepped on it. With this step, he felt a clear sinking. War Without Wounds was frightened out of his wits and quickly wanted to retreat. But the players behind him were already impatient. Seeing him step forward, they immediately followed. War Without Wounds retreated and naturally bumped into this person, and behind this person were countless people waiting to get on the bridge. War Without Wounds was strong, but he couldn't be stronger than so many people. As a result, this retreat not only didn't get him off the bridge, but the people behind him immediately pushed him back: "What are you doing? Hurry up!"

War Without Wounds was pushed out another step, cursing "Damn it" in his mouth, but both feet were already on the bridge.

The plank was still the same bent plank, but at least it didn't break. War Without Wounds felt a little relieved and then walked forward steadily.

Gu Fei and the others in front had already gotten off the bridge, but the number of people on the mountain road on the other side was increasing. War Without Wounds had endured for so long and finally hoped to get off the bridge, but found that there was no place for him to stand below the bridge.

"Move! Why aren't you moving? Hurry up!" War Without Wounds didn't feel any danger under his feet along the way, but now that he was standing still, he immediately felt that his feet were going up and down, and the plank seemed to be supporting him with its tenacity, and might break at any time.

"Give me a place to get off the bridge!" War Without Wounds shouted anxiously.

"There's no room, there's really no room." Yutian Shenming was the last person in front of him to get off the bridge, and he took the last place to stand. The mountain road was already crowded with people. War Without Wounds knew that he couldn't push his way through. This wasn't a bus. If you used the momentum of grabbing a seat and charged forward, you might be able to get through, but many more people would probably fall off the cliff. War Without Wounds wasn't that unkind.

"Why aren't you moving?" War Without Wounds was anxious.

Young Master Han turned back to look at him and said, "The road ahead is broken again like this. They're building a bridge, and then passing one by one, so it's a bit slow."

Wushi Zhi Jian and the other three core members of Across the World were at the front of the team, so they knew what was going on first. Then倒影年华Dao Ying Nian Hua would tell the mercenary captains through the team channel, and the captains would tell their partners. But Young Master Han was obviously irresponsible, only listening and not speaking. Look at the people on the bridge behind War Without Wounds, none of them asked questions because the team stopped. Obviously, the captain had already broadcast the situation in the mercenary channel.

"Damn it, so unlucky, why is there no room for me?" War Without Wounds was exasperated, feeling that the plank under his feet seemed to be sinking even deeper.

"Haha, you have to stand firm, if you really can't, lie down!" Yutian Shenming simply turned around, shouting and laughing at War Without Wounds, mocking him wantonly. The Rebirth Purple Crystal girls had passed in front of the Young Master Elite Group, so they were naturally on the side of the bridge at this time, all turning back to admire War Without Wounds' tense expression on the bridge, all pursing their lips and laughing.

This made War Without Wounds unbearable. No matter how worried he was, he had to hold on. He immediately cheered himself up and looked at Yutian Shenming with a very contemptuous look, saying, "Humph, I'm standing very firmly. Two feet are superfluous, one foot is enough."

War Without Wounds said so, but he didn't plan to perform a one-legged stand. Just having this thought in his mind, when he spoke, one foot involuntarily made a tentative attempt to leave the ground. This faint lift was almost imperceptible to outsiders, but it ruined everything.

War Without Wounds' long-standing worries were not superfluous. The plank was indeed struggling to support him. Especially the plank under his feet at this time, which was the last plank that many people stepped on when getting off the bridge. Walking on the bridge with trepidation, the moment before taking the last step and getting off the bridge, it was inevitable to be excited. When leaving, many people kicked off the ground quite happily. The pressure that this plank endured was far greater than other planks.

It would have been fine if War Without Wounds had stood honestly. But now that he had this thought in his mind and one foot had just lifted slightly, the very hard-working plank under his foot could no longer hold on.

With a "crack!" The sound that many people had been worried about and looking forward to finally sounded. War Without Wounds let out an "aiya" and sank down with the broken plank in a heroic manner.

In a flash, War Without Wounds suddenly opened his arms and hung them on the two long wooden supports of the plank. These two pieces of wood were undoubtedly very strong and enough to support War Without Wounds, but the problem was that his tossing was much more violent than June Rain's stomp. The endless screams behind him instantly drowned out War Without Wounds' little voice. War Without Wounds' comrades on the bridge fell down like dumplings. Many people were still holding a small piece of wood in their arms—they reached out and grabbed randomly at the critical moment, but instead of holding onto the long wood, they grabbed the small piece of wood that fell with him. As a result, they became doomed lovers with the wood, too wronged.

In an instant, all the people on the bridge had fallen. Many of the planks on top had also fallen. It was clear that the bridge could no longer be used.

The players standing on both sides of the cliff were all dumbfounded. Finally, someone said, "What a sin!"

The players sighed, and suddenly someone pointed in the direction they came from: "Look, there's a survivor."

They didn't know what had happened to War Without Wounds. This sinful person was regarded as a survivor by them, and they applauded warmly for War Without Wounds' good luck.

You-ge shook his head repeatedly: "This is truly a sin!"
