Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Chapter 246 Cliff Corridor

On the other side of the stone platform is an artificially widened cliff corridor, about one meter wide, which is another dangerous place that can only allow one person to pass.

The cliff corridor hidden in the darkness in the distance looms downward, seeming to indicate that this corridor will eventually lead to the lowest level of this abyss crack.

Captain Dong stood at the front of the corridor, just watching everyone silently, as if waiting for the follow-up personnel to gradually arrive.

Judging from its overall behavioral logic, in subsequent actions, the requirements for the number of personnel will be extremely high.

Even thinking a little further, his pause and waiting also indirectly urged Bai Ning to bring as much heavy equipment as possible that he had temporarily abandoned.

Bai Ning just glanced at Captain Dong, and then gave the order to rest where he was.

As subsequent personnel gradually arrived, the first personnel to rest returned to the tunnel and tried to move as much equipment as possible.

Facing Bai Ning's series of orders and arrangements, Captain Dong leaned on the cliff at the front of the corridor as usual, seeming to be enjoying a big show.

Jiang Yingxue seemed to be in a very bad condition at this time. In the narrow space that she could move as far as possible, someone used a backpack to build a place to lie down. While she closed her eyes and rested, the expression on her face was absolutely solemn.

None of the three people with the right to speak had any reason to speak, while the ordinary people in the field were busy coming in and out.

In this narrow underground crack that was temporarily illuminated by lights, the silent busyness made the atmosphere here become more and more depressing.

Everyone is harboring evil intentions, there is no doubt about it.

The invisible game never requires the light of swords and shadows, only the fleeting sword sealing the throat.

After resting slowly for about three hours, Captain Dong seemed to be a little impatient with the waiting. He tapped the rock next to him with his fingers, and a sound like the sound of gold and iron suddenly came out.

Jiang Yingxue suddenly opened her eyes and looked over. A hint of boredom and anger that could not be concealed flashed in her eyes, followed by confusion.

Tapping a stone with your fingers can actually make a metallic impact sound. Is this stone special, or is it Captain Dong's fingers that are special?

When their eyes met, they found that Captain Dong's hands were no different from those of ordinary people, but they were hidden in the hazy light of gray fog, making it difficult to see the details.

"There are still some things that have not been transferred, and the personnel who have been busy also need to rest."

As if he didn't care about Captain Dong's urging at all, Bai Ning's words were asking for an extension of the rest time, which also attracted Jiang Yingxue to turn her doubtful eyes.

Jiang Yingxue seemed to have millions of words in her heart, but because of her mental instability, she didn't want to say any of them.

"The current equipment is enough. If we continue to carry it, the road ahead will not be easy."

After Captain Dong finished speaking, he turned around and stepped into the corridor that had been empty for a long time. He walked carefully close to the cliff, which showed his caution.

This is another powerful hint based on body language, "The road ahead is not easy to walk." This is not only a description of the conditions of the cliff corridor, but also an overall description of the possible dangers that follow.

More powerful equipment support is needed, and these bodyguards are very frivolous and indifferent. This further shows that Captain Dong only treats the personnel here as pure cannon fodder.

A fragile cooperative relationship is equivalent to cannon fodder bound by a cooperative agreement.

Now it seems that the end of this cliff corridor is not a paradise on earth with unparalleled wealth.

Bai Ning stood up from his backpack and helped Jiang Yingxue up very rarely. Without saying anything, he just patted her on the shoulder.

Looking at the figure in front of him who walked out first, Jiang Yingxue's face was filled with a solemn expression.

She knew that this was physical contact as a warning and warning, and she also knew that it was a subtle statement that Bai Ning was not optimistic about the future.

But due to the uncontrollable anger in her mind, it was already difficult for her to coordinate some normal emotional feedback.

Regarding the huge danger that was about to come, a danger so huge that Bai Ning could not help but issue a warning, Jiang Yingxue had some faint expectations in her heart.

Angry emotions cannot be relieved through suppression, but can only be released through unlimited venting.

Venting requires risks, and behind the risks are interests, an absolute win-win situation.

The greater the danger, the greater the benefits hidden behind it. This is the usual way of thinking of those who take chestnuts from the fire, and it also represents absolute greed.

Under Jiang Yingxue's gaze, the team slowly advanced along the cliff corridor, being uncontrollably swallowed by the darkness in the distance and becoming a part of this ageless abyss rift.

The team moved forward very slowly, and the white light pillars that shot out from the team hit the cliff beside them, like a millipede that was gradually descending along the cliff.

The cliff corridor ahead still has no end. Everyone seems to be walking in a labyrinth of cliff paths, with no way out all the way down. They are destined to be trapped here for life.

Jiang Yingxue, who was following the team, suddenly felt tired of moving forward. She just wanted to sit there and slowly wait for death to come.

The thought of laziness slowly grew in her ideology, which was something that Jiang Yingxue would never exist.

Forced by the coercion of the team, Jiang Yingxue's lazy body could only move forward slowly, resentment gradually growing, and she just wanted to vent her frustration and unwillingness in endless shouts.

It's a pity that my body doesn't want to talk.

This seems to be an invisible curse from the long-lasting darkness, slowly but surely eroding the body and soul within it.

I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly something surrounded by light fell slowly and quickly towards the dark abyss beside me.

Maybe it fell off accidentally, or maybe it was dropped intentionally to test the depth. No matter which way it is, the final whereabouts of the item are not silent.

The dull sound of impact spread quickly, and this sound, which was like the sound of nature, caused the atmosphere of the team to instantly rise a lot.

They will eventually walk through this seemingly endless cliff corridor and will soon reach a solid and vast ground. Just thinking about the free and relaxing rest makes people feel happy.

Bai Ning could clearly sense the pleasant atmosphere of the team behind him, but what he cared about more was the still silent Captain Dong in front of him.

In Captain Dong's body, there is no sense of joy of achieving the goal at any stage, only an increasingly calm sense of depression overflowing.

It seemed like he was guarding against something.

What is at the end of the cliff path? Is it necessarily the safe end that everyone expects?
