Ya Shuo followed the direction that Kai Zi was pointing at and saw a faint light in front of them. It was very weak, but seeing such a weak light in the pitch-black cave seemed to give them hope. The few of them followed the light and quickened their pace. After walking for about 1000 meters, they realized that the light was at the other end of the cave. The entrance of the cave was covered with dense leaves and branches. The intertwined leaves had long covered the entrance of the cave tightly, not letting in any light. However, there was a hole in the branches and leaves near the ground. Light only shone through the hole, so it was very weak from a thousand meters away. The hole was only the size of an ordinary animal. Ya Shuo had expected the Gray Fox to escape from here. He squatted down and looked at the edge of the hole. There were indeed traces of being rubbed by animals.
" This is the entrance of the cave. I think we can get out from here. Come, everyone help us cut off these branches," Ya Shuo said as he took out an axe from his luggage. Uncle Dong took out a sickle. Kai Zi didn't have any tools, but he used his strength to break the thin branches. The branches and leaves might not have been touched all year round. The longer they grew, the more they formed a complicated network. It was really difficult to cut them at the moment. However, the three men worked together and spent half an hour cutting a hole the size of an adult before they stopped.
After passing through the hole, there was no path in front of them. It was a cliff. The three of them were at a loss. Uncle Dong was a little afraid and began to talk about the rumors of the Fox Mountain. Ya Shuo ignored him and carefully observed the surrounding terrain. He suddenly realized that although there were cliffs in front of him, it was not really a dead end. Not far away, there was a cliff path leading to the top of the mountain. The flowers, plants, and branches had been stepped on several times. Ya Shuo thought that there must be more than one person climbing to the top from here. His intuition told him that there must be something at the top. Thinking of this, he told the other two his thoughts.
The more Kai Zi looked at it, the more he agreed with Ya Shuo. Uncle Dong said that even if that path had been stepped on, the cliff was still a cliff. It was extremely dangerous to go up from that path. If you missed, you would die at the bottom of the cliff. Ya Shuo said," I'll climb up first and then put down the rope to pull you up." Before the others could agree, Ya Shuo took out a dagger from his waist and jumped from the stone platform to the edge of the cliff path not far away. At the same time, he stabbed the dagger into the cliff and waited for his feet to stabilize. Then, he went up a little higher. Just like that, what others thought was a very dangerous thing, Ya Shuo was bold but careful. His body was as light as a swallow, and he climbed to the top of the mountain.
After climbing up, Ya Shuo couldn't care less about his surroundings. He took out a rope from his backpack and tied it to a big tree on the top of the mountain that could only be hugged by two people. The other end of the rope was thrown from the top of the mountain onto the stone platform that he had just jumped from.
" Hurry up, I'll hold you up from above," Ya Shuo waved his arm and shouted.
Before Kaizi and Uncle Dong could react, the end of the rope had already reached their feet. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes communicating with each other. It was obvious that they were pushing each other. However, considering that no matter who came first, they would not be able to escape in the end, they looked troubled. Ya Shuo, who was impatient, saw that the two of them did not move for a long time and shouted the same words again. At this time, Kaizi, who was slightly bolder than Uncle Dong, said," Uncle Dong, let me go first. I believe in fate. I didn't die in prison last time." Then, he picked up the end of the rope by his feet and shouted to Ya Shuo at the top of the mountain,"Pull."
When Ya Shuo began to retract the rope, Kaizi, who had grabbed the rope, was already suspended in midair. No matter how much preparation he had made in advance, the fear of hanging in the air above the cliff was far beyond his expectations. He couldn't help but look down. It was like a bottomless abyss. At this moment, Kai Zi was so regretful that his intestines turned green. The fear under his feet made him have all kinds of fantasies. What if the rope broke? What if he didn't hold on tightly? What if Ya Shuo didn't have any strength…All kinds of what-ifs made him instantly have a mental breakdown. He couldn't help but let out a ghostly wail. The sound that made one's mind break down was extremely unpleasant.
Just as Kaizi was screaming, the rope began to pull up. Kaizi instantly stopped screaming and looked at Ya Shuo with hope. He felt that Ya Shuo was very strong. Not long after, one of Kaizi's hands reached the edge of the cliff.
After Kai Zi went up, Ya Shuo used the same method to throw the rope to Uncle Dong's feet. Uncle Dong saw Kai Zi's cowardly look just now and did not want to take the risk.
"Yashuo, I…I should go back."
"Go back? They had already come this far, so why should they go back?”
"I didn't want to come here anyway, but you two insisted on coming."
" Aiya, Uncle Dong, don't dawdle. Hurry up and come up. It's so beautiful up there." Kaizi seemed to have forgotten his cowardly look just now and actually said something funny now.
"Don't be so smug. I didn't want to take the risk because I saw your cowardly look."
Kaizi was embarrassed and shut his mouth. Ya Shuo kept encouraging Uncle Dong, but Uncle Dong refused to go. Ya Shuo really did not want to waste any more time. He looked at the rich man beside him and suddenly thought of a plan. He quietly said to Kaizi," Kaizi, I'm sorry for troubling you." Before Kaizi could understand what he meant, he pressed a dagger against Kaizi's neck.
Kai Zi never expected Ya Shuo to do such a thing. His mind was blank. He didn't know if Ya Shuo was forcing Uncle Dong to submit or if he had other intentions. He was suddenly scared silly and shouted," Help, help!" Ya Shuo whispered," Don't move, cooperate!" Then he sent a message to Uncle Dong.
"Uncle Dong, Kai Zi's life is in your hands. Are you coming up or not?”
Uncle Dong didn't expect Ya Shuo to be like this. He felt that Ya Shuo had saved Kaizi before, so there was no reason for Ya Shuo to harm him this time. However, the situation was serious now, and he couldn't guarantee that Ya Shuo wouldn't hurt Kaizi. Just as Uncle Dong was hesitating, Ya Shuo was afraid that he would give Uncle Dong too much time to think and wouldn't be easily fooled. He brought the dagger closer to Kaizi's neck. Feeling the sharp blade of the dagger approaching his neck, Kaizi could not care less about whether he was acting or not. He shouted and cursed," Uncle Dong, if you don't move, I'll die in your hands. What are you waiting for?"
Uncle Dong had a strong point, and that was that he was very filial. He could be scolded by others, but if someone scolded his mother, he would fight with all his might. When he heard Kai Zi say," You motherf * cker," he was furious, as if he had been greatly insulted. Without even thinking about it, he grabbed the rope under his feet and jumped off the stone platform.
Seeing that Uncle Dong had given in, Yashuo let go of Kaizi and quickly pulled back the rope. Kaizi also helped pull back. Uncle Dong, who was suspended in mid-air, couldn't care less about his fear. He kept scolding Kaizi," Just you wait. How dare you scold my mother? I'll go up and tear your mouth apart." Yashuo and Kaizi ignored him and just pulled the rope with all their might. The two of them had great strength and speed in pulling the rope. One of Uncle Dong's hands reached the edge of the cliff very quickly, but he still didn't forget to fight with the guy. As soon as one of his hands reached the edge of the cliff, he loosened the rope with the other hand and hit the guy who was pulling him. He couldn't wait to beat him up immediately. He didn't want to delay for even a second because he didn't grasp the hand that was on the edge of the cliff tightly. In the situation where his body was suspended in the air, his other hand also lost his balance because he used brute force to hit the guy. This was not a joke. The hand that reached the edge of the cliff did not have enough strength to support his body that had lost balance. Uncle Dong let out an " ah " and fell down…
