Within the canyon.
Qin Tiexin accelerated his pace. He had reached the narrowest part of the canyon. The cliffs on both sides were so close that he could touch the stone walls on both sides at the same time by spreading his arms. The gravel layer under his feet was thinner than before, the road was smoother, and there was not much debris to clean up.
He raised his head and glanced forward. The exit was already in front of him, less than two hundred steps away. Through the skylight at the exit, he could clearly see a few clumps of weeds growing faintly on the gray ground outside, and on the slope a little further away, there were already several grasses glowing with faint aura swaying Suifeng.
Spiritual grass.
This shows that there is indeed Spiritual Qi at the exit, and the concentration is not low. It seems that the transition pattern between the exit and the entrance is the same, and the concentration of Spiritual Qi is gradually recovering. As long as he walks these two hundred steps and steps into the area with Spiritual Qi, he can receive Lin Chuan and them.
He quickened his pace.
One hundred and fifty steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Qin Tiexin Suddenly, I felt a rumbling sound coming from above my head. The sound started from the top of the mountain and moved from far to near, like a sleeping giant being awakened by something.
He paused in his steps and looked up. On the dark red skyline above the cliff, a huge shadow was falling rapidly.
No! That's a huge rock!
The shadow rolled down from the top of the mountain, rolling faster and faster, and the crushed stone debris exploded into clouds of gray-white smoke on the cliff.
The size of the boulder was more than one foot, and it landed right at the exit of the canyon in front of him. It took no more than three breaths to roll from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.
Boom!!!!!
The sound of boulders falling to the ground resounded in the canyon, the ground beneath their feet shook violently, and gravel rolled down the cliff.
Qin Tiexin was already moving when he heard the sound. Instead of moving forward, he turned around and ran towards the entrance of the canyon.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment. This was not an accident, but a trap! Someone deliberately pushed down the boulder, and the other party knew the terrain very well. He had to go back and join his teammates first.
But the ambusher had clearly planned it. He ran less than fifty steps when a second loud bang exploded behind the canyon. Another huge boulder was pushed down from his head and hit the middle of the canyon, cutting off the retreat at the same time.
Two huge boulders, one behind the other, blocked the entire canyon tightly. Qin Tiexin was trapped in the deepest part of the canyon, with all the front and rear passages blocked, and the rope around his waist was pressed under him by the boulder.
He stopped and looked up at the vertical cliffs on both sides.
There were no climbing points on the cliff, so he could not climb. He looked down at the rope around his waist, and then at the size of the two boulders. The weight of the boulders meant that he would never be able to push them away based on the current situation.
Qin Tiexin made a prompt decision, grabbed the rope around his waist with his left hand and pulled hard, untied the knot, and the rope slipped from his waist to the ground. He held the iron rod tightly and took out two pills that Xu Ying had distributed before, one Bone-Mending and Flesh-Growing Pill and one Heart-Clearing and Spirit-Awakening Pill. He removed the cork with his thumb and pressed the two pills under his tongue at the same time.
Since the opponent used two huge rocks to trap him here, it would definitely not end like this.
If he was the one setting up an ambush, the method used after the boulder had blocked the road would have been from above.
He leaned against the cliff, slowly raised his gaze, and glanced towards the top of the cliff.
Outside the valley.
Liu Suifeng stared at the fine Spirit Rune on the rope, and the scale jumped forward one by one. He calculated silently in his heart that he estimated that there were still a few hundred steps left to reach the exit of the valley. No accidents happened, and the length of the rope was more than enough. It seemed to be going well.
It seems that they are overthinking it. Could it be that someone is hiding in such a Spiritual Qi isolated place?
Just when I thought about this, suddenly, two dull loud noises came from the direction of the canyon.
From such a long distance, the sound was no longer deafening when it reached my ears, but the dull impact was still very obvious.
The four people only saw that Qin Tiexin was still moving forward normally. Suddenly, two huge Shitou appeared out of thin air halfway up the mountainside of Sky-Splitting Cliff. They smashed into the canyon one after the other, raising gray-white smoke.
"Take the rope!" Lin Chuan reacted quickly and shouted at the three of them.
The four people pulled back at the same time, but the rope only retracted two feet and could no longer be pulled. The rope was stretched like an iron rod, and the other end was firmly pressed under something. Du Heng pulled hard again, but the rope did not move at all.
"It was pressed down by a huge boulder." Liu Suifeng's face turned pale.
"It seems Senior Brother Ming was ambushed."
Lin Chuan released the rope and had already pulled out the long sword with his right hand. He glanced at the direction of the canyon, then at the remaining rope, and spoke very quickly, "Suifeng, how much rope is left?"
"Less than three miles." Liu Suifeng quickly glanced at the scale on the rope.
"Enough"
Lin Chuan Without hesitation, he squatted down and took off the rope from his waist, found the other end of the rope and tied it to himself.
"Tie the rope to me and I'll go over and help Senior Brother Ming. You guys wait here. If I'm in danger, just pull the rope and pull me back."
Du Heng took the end of the rope, tied the same knot as Qin Tiexin around Lin Chuan's waist, and pulled hard twice to make sure it was firm. Xu Ying took out two pills from her arms and put them into Lin Chuan's hands. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end she just pressed the pills into his palm and said "Be careful."
Lin Chuan nodded, stuffed the elixir into his arms, picked up his sword and ran towards the canyon.
Deep in the canyon.
Qin Tiexin leaned against the cliff, slowly raised his gaze, and swept towards the top of the cliff.
The two pieces of Shitou fell so fast that Qin Tiexin didn't even have enough time to react. It didn't look like they were rolling down from the top of the mountain. Therefore, the enemy should be ambushing on the mountainside.
Looking up from the bottom of the canyon, the cliffs on both sides are indeed almost vertical. As the line of sight climbs up the rough rock surface, Qin Tiexin's eyes paused about a dozen feet away from the bottom of the canyon.
Sure enough, there was a rock wall there whose color was slightly different from the surroundings. It was not the gray-black color of natural rocks. In the center of that rock wall, there was a vague opening, and the outline of the opening had been deliberately trimmed.
That's it.
Qin Tiexin narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging from the distance, the two boulders just now were probably pushed down from near the rock wall.
It is impossible for the opponent to attack from the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain is too high. Once you hear the sound, you will have more than enough time whether you run back to join Lin Chuan or the others or run forward out of the cave. But if you attack from the cave in the middle of the cliff, the situation is different. The distance is too close, and without the blessing of spiritual power, the reaction time and distance are not enough.
Just as the other party expected, he was trapped at the bottom of the valley with no way out.
Qin Tiexin tightened the iron rod in his hand, then the enemy's attack should be next. It is impossible to trap him here like this, and as long as he has enough time, he can definitely climb out of Shitou.
