"Old Hao, you and Xuan Zi go up first.”
"Xuan Zi, after you go up, you and Old Hao will lower our rope. I will tie the rope to Professor Chen from below. When the time comes, you will pull Professor Chen up.”
"After Professor Chen pulled her up, Chu Jian should have gone up as well. Let the rope down and pull Xiao Ye. Xiao Sa and I will cover the rear.”
Hu Yi explained his plan as he ran towards the rope ladder at the broken bridge. The rope ladder was left behind by a grave robber from some unknown time ago. Although the rope was still strong, the wooden frame of the rope ladder had already shown signs of decay. In addition, Professor Chen was old and could not climb fast, so this was the only way to be safe.
"But Old Hu, what are you going to do? Those things are about to catch up.”Wang Xuan said anxiously. The person he cared about the most in the entire team was Hu Yi, his sworn brother since he was young.
"It's alright, the pills Brother Ye gave us are very useful. Although I don't know how long we can last in these poisonous spores, as long as you move a little faster, I will at most be infected by a little. Just now, when Brother Ye rushed into the cluster of spider lilies, you also saw it. The moment those spider lilies touched Brother Ye, they dissipated. Obviously, Brother Ye's medicine is effective on these spider lilies.”
"Each of us has the medicine Brother Ye gave us. Even if we can't ignore it like Brother Ye, we can still persist for a while, so don't worry.”
As he spoke, the group had already run to the rope ladder under the broken bridge. Wang Xuan gritted his teeth and climbed up the rope ladder. After climbing up, Hao Jianguo continued to climb.
Hao Jianguo had just climbed halfway when Wang Xuan's rope was thrown down. Just as Hu Yi was about to tie the rope to Professor Chen, Professor Chen pushed him away and hurriedly said," Don't think about me first. Let Xiao Ye go up first."”
"No, Professor, you go up first." Ye Yixin said firmly.
"It doesn't matter who goes up first. Sa Di Peng, come and help!”Hu Yi called Sa Dipeng over and tied the rope firmly around Professor Chen's waist regardless of his objection.
As soon as the rope was tied, Wang Xuan and Hao Jianguo pulled Professor Chen up, ignoring the wear and tear on the rope.
When the rope was lowered again, only Hu Yi, Ye Yixin, and Sa Dipeng were left. Professor Chen was pulled up faster than Chu Jian.
Before he could tie Ye Yixin up, Sa Dipeng was pushed up the rope ladder by Hu Yi.
In the end, Hu Yi was the only one left under the rope ladder. He saw the blood-colored enchanting flower carpet in front of him. He held the rope ladder tightly and watched as Sa Di Peng got closer and closer to the broken bridge.
There was a problem with the lifespan of the rope ladder. Hu Yi could not ignore the consequences and start climbing before Satypeng reached the top. Otherwise, if the rope ladder broke due to too much load, it would not matter if something happened to him. The key was that Kaede Poisonous Island and Yang Li behind him would not be able to climb up. Therefore, he had to endure it no matter how anxious he was.
After waiting anxiously for a while, when the red spider lily bloomed to his feet, Hu Yi finally began to climb up the rope ladder. The enchanting red spider lily was also growing on the broken bridge, getting closer and closer to Hu Yi.
Hu Yiyi's heart was beating very fast, but he climbed the rope ladder unhurriedly. He couldn't be anxious. The more anxious he was, the easier it was for an accident to happen, even if the spider lily was about to touch his heel.
After climbing about one-third of the rope ladder, the first spider lily climbed up the bottom of his shoe.
"Hiss, it hurts!"
Hu Yi immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. A piercing pain came from the soles of his feet, as if his feet had been pierced through by a long iron nail.
At the same time, the pill in Hu Yi's mouth suddenly erupted with an even stronger warm current. It reached the soles of his feet almost instantly. Not only did it heal the possible wounds, but it also caused the gorgeous red spider lily on his shoes to instantly wither and disappear.
"Brother Ye's medicine is really godly!"
Before Hu Yi could be happy for even a second, he felt another stinging pain from under his feet. It turned out that there was another Red Spider Lily, or rather, the spores of the Corpse Fragrant Kojac, climbing up the soles of his shoes.
"Run, run quickly!"
This was the only thought left in Hu Yi's heart. He did not want to experience the feeling of being pierced by ten thousand arrows.
However, Hu Yi's speed was limited. In addition, this rope ladder was something left behind many years ago. He did not dare to be too impatient. Otherwise, if something went wrong, he would fall down and enjoy the treatment of being pierced by thousands of arrows.
Halfway up, Hu Yi's clothes were completely drenched in sweat. Although it had only been a few minutes since the first Red Spider Lily found him, there were nearly ten Red Spider Lilies blooming and withering on his body every second. In other words, he had to endure nearly ten heart-piercing pains every second.
Fortunately, Hu Yi's willpower was firm. Otherwise, even if his body was not injured, his mind would have been driven crazy.
At this moment, a rope hung down from the broken bridge. At the same time, Wang Xuan's anxious voice entered Hu Yi's ears.
"Old Hu, grab the rope tightly. We'll pull you up.”
Hearing this, Hu Yi did not hesitate at all. He grabbed the rope with his right hand and pulled it up. Under the pull of Wang Xuan and the others, he ran up the pillar of the broken bridge at high speed and quickly escaped the harm of the Paramita Flower Sea.
As he ran, Hu Yi shouted," Xuan Zi, get them to find a place to tie the end of the rope tightly. Brother Ye and Miss Yang might need it when they come back!"”
"Don't worry. I've already expected this to happen. I've already tied them up.”Wang Xuan shouted. He, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng used all their strength to pull Hu Yi up. As for Hao Jianguo, he had already helped Professor Chen walk away. Ye Yixin was also persuaded by him to leave after they got on the broken bridge. Who asked them to be old and old while they were girls.
After climbing up the broken bridge, Hu Yi threw the rope down the bridge. Then, he called Wang Xuan and the others to continue running. Very quickly, they ran out of the tomb door and even crossed the underground river in front of the tomb door. They waited anxiously for news on the other side of the river.
"Huhu, Old Hu, those spores don't seem to be chasing us anymore!”Wang Xuan panted heavily. According to the speed at which those spider lilies bloomed, they had already left the tomb's entrance, but they had yet to see them. Therefore, it was very likely that those spider lilies had already stopped expanding.
"It should be out of their range of transmission. After all, these spores were released by the Corpse Fragrance Kojac. There is no wind in the mausoleum, so it is a little difficult to spread them.”Hu Yi was also panting heavily.
"I wonder how Comrade Xiao Ye and Xue Li are doing? Are they safe now?"
Professor Chen sat on a large rock and was worried about Kaede Poisonous Island and Yang Li, who had yet to come out of the mausoleum. He had started running out of the mausoleum after he was pulled onto the broken bridge, so although he came out with Hu Yi and the others, he was in a better condition than them. Of course, it was also thanks to the effect of the drop of Spirit Cleansing Water that Kaede Poisonous Island had given him. Otherwise, he would have fainted from exhaustion.
"Professor Chen, don't worry too much about them. There's no problem with Brother Ye here. Brother Ye is not an ordinary person!”Wang Xuan called out, slightly easing the gloomy atmosphere in the team.
"That's true. Comrade Xiao Ye's ability is extraordinary. She will definitely be safe.”
" Jianguo," Professor Chen muttered to himself." Let's cook some warm water and food so that they can drink hot water and eat something as soon as they come out."”
Professor Chen had also forgotten that Kaede Poisonous Island could bring out delicious food at any time. How could he be inferior to their cooking skills? Especially since the conditions here were not very good.
However, no one said anything. Hao Jianguo agreed immediately. Then, he prepared to boil some water and cook the meat soup with the jerky he brought.
"Xuan Zi, let's go in and see where those spores have spread. Although they haven't spread here yet, we have to be careful.”Hu Yi felt that it was necessary for them to know about the spread of the spores of the Corpse Fragrance Kojac at all times. Otherwise, they would be irresponsible for their own safety.
"Alright, let's go!"
Wang Xuan clapped his hands and stood up. If he didn't figure out the situation of the Corpse Fragrance Kojac spores, he wouldn't be at ease, and he wouldn't be at ease with Hu Yi going alone.
After walking for a few minutes through the tomb door, Hu Yi and Wang Xuan saw those enchanting red spider lilies. They covered the entire passageway, leaving no space for people to step on. Even the sides and the top of their heads were covered with red spider lilies.
Hu Yi and Wang Xuan looked at each other and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes. On one side was a passage with nothing, but on the other side was covered with bewitching red spider lilies. No matter how they looked at it, it was very abrupt.
Hu Yi took out an extension rod and opened it, fiddling with the red spider lilies in front of him, wanting to separate one of them from the group to take a closer look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it was separated, the beautiful spider lily melted like snow, leaving only a small thing the size of a grayish-white peanut that looked like a date super weapon.
"Old Hu, this thing should have its largest range of activity. If you leave this range, you will die.”Wang Xuan speculated.
"Not only that, this largest range of activity should be the same as the range of influence of the corpse fragrant kojac. In other words, it is very likely that the farthest range of the hallucinogenic substance emitted by the corpse fragrant kojac is the range of activity of these spores.”Hu Yi immediately said. If Wang Xuan could see it, he could naturally see it too.
However, all of this was useless. After the Resurrection Lily was picked open and the spores died, another Resurrection Lily grew on the spot, as if its number would never decrease.
"Let's go back, but before we go back, we'll leave a mark here. We'll come back later to check out the situation here, in case this thing suddenly appears in front of us.”
Hu Yi took out a piece of chalk from his backpack and made a mark on the surrounding walls at a certain distance. If the number of marks did not change after a while, it meant that the Red Spider Lilies had really stopped here.
If the number of marks changed, they could also calculate the speed at which the spores of the Red Spider Lily Carpet, or the Corpse Fragrance Kojac, spread.
