Chapter 49: Aoto
The diameter of the sinkhole gradually increased, and the depth was bottomless, Yang Guan lowered his head and vaguely saw a glimmer of light, very faint, if it weren't for the fact that the gem in the center of the fusion absorption compass was very sensitive to light, it would not be possible to find the luminosity under the fog miasma.
Paul's body was caught up by the falling stalagmite, impacted, and squeezed until it was crushed into pieces, only three seconds before and after, Yang Guan recognized the danger, tried his best to suppress the panicked body and mind, and with all his body, he raised his foot and kicked a rapidly falling stalagmite, and his body fell in the opposite direction.
Once, twice...... After five efforts, approaching the sinkhole barrier, and safely passing through the area covered by stalagmite rain, Yang Guan continued to take deep breaths, adjusted his state, and felt that his body was calmed down and did not dare to hesitate, afraid that the speed of the fall would increase and the result would be shattered.
"Drink" to strengthen his courage, the whole body tried his best to pedal, push the half of the stalagmite in his hand, the body rose and drifted the stone wall, the stalagmite fell rapidly, Yang Guan felt that his body was rising, and his eyes looked at the decaying ladder moving upward, accelerating, damn it, illusion?
The crisis did not pass, at the moment of life and death, Yang Guan shook his body, broke through the torn protective clothing, pressed the spring button on his left arm with his right hand, and a small claw hook pulled a ten-meter-long steel wire rope, and the shuttle was wrapped around a wooden plank, close to the end of the stone wall, and the pain of the left arm shook and pulled to stimulate the soul, and the body wandered towards the stone wall.
Approaching the stone wall, pedal on both feet to relieve the impact, and then climb the ladder with the help of wandering inertia, rest, wheezing, frightened, and scouting the situation.
The width of the stairway is about one meter two, the rotary erection, the wooden board of 244 or 5 centimeters and the thickness of about 10 centimeters is pierced into the stone wall to make a stepping board, the traces of excavation can be seen on the stone wall, the hole is chiseled out and the wooden board is inserted, the hole is consistent with the size of the wooden board, there is no wooden plug to be stable, and the construction is very fine and reliable.
The side of the stepping board near the sinkhole, there is no guardrail, only the iron ring locks the arm-thick hemp rope link, which is now rotten and broken in many places, and the stepping board is less than one percent of the good one, most of which are broken by people.
The ladder road can be called a ghostly workmanship, winding down in a circle, I don't know the far-reaching, it can still be passed under the trampling of two groups of people, incredible, Yang Guan rejoiced in the sigh.
Although the sinkhole was buzzing and exploding, and the huge sound shook people so much that people didn't dare to shut up, the mountain on the top didn't seem to collapse, only a stalagmite rain, falling into the sinkhole, and the bottom of the explosion was not heard for the time being, maybe it was drowned by the sound?
Yang Guan pondered, groped his whole body, there were only four grenades left in his pocket, the trophies that he was holding the sheep in his hand, and the objects he configured were still there, after a little thought, he pulled out a grenade ring, estimated the position of the stone wall below according to the slope of the stone wall by sight, threw it downward, and lay on the wooden board to observe.
The sound of the grenade explosion was drowned in the buzzing sound, and the fire flashed, about one hundred and thirty meters, the coalition soldiers fell three or five people in the firelight, Yang Guan was not sure, and quickly retracted the wire rope and pursued downward.
The "Xiuxiuxiu" bullet swirled upward, shining orange-red traces, combined with the flashlight beam to shoot upward, the surging fog miasma rippled, Yang Guan used the blooming luminosity to step on the bullet-shattered plank in pursuit.
Most of the footboards are broken, and there is no place to stand at the farthest distance of more than ten meters, and the coalition soldiers are advancing slowly in this situation, and they pass through ropes in series, one rope, which fully demonstrates the ability of the coalition soldiers.
Yang Guan pursued against the barrier, as if walking on the ground, stepping on the plank with his toes to reduce the sound, although he knew that the sound in the space could drown out the footsteps, but the coalition soldiers were all elite, and it was not uncommon for them to make a slight abnormal sound, exposing the target.
When it was close, the coalition soldiers were thirty meters away, and Yang Guan cautiously approached the coalition forces, tailgating, and considering the strategy of extermination. The coalition forces walked on the mottled, decaying, faulty and magical stairway, very difficult, confused, and full of crisis and hope on the way to groping.
The strange thing is that there is a fault with the karst cave above, as if it is two spaces, at first, the coalition soldiers did not feel that because they did not hear the sound of battle above, they mistakenly thought that 400 people had blocked Yang Pass, and only realized that something was wrong when the stalagmite rain fell.
It's hard to believe, but facts speak louder than words, and any noise in the sinkhole changes tone, making it a paranormal journey.
What's even more weird is that Yang Guan came too fast, obviously feeling that he had just stepped into the ladder, and a grenade beckoned down, which woke up his nerves, and he was stunned and felt incredible.
Maxon pressed his pocket watch with a flashlight, and was surprised to find that the mechanical hands showed that an hour and a half had passed, and he recalled the staircase journey that he had been worried about, and the time was more consistent, but his thinking did not seem to keep up with the pace of time, as if he was suffering from amnesia, and his thinking was stuck, which was simply a fantasy.
Thinking backwards, as if returning to the starting point, and the journey and everything are ahead of him, Maxon broke out in a cold sweat, and used a flashlight to look at the coalition soldiers, everyone was confused, and the look of panic on high alert.
The "boom" pitch-changing grenade exploded, and Maxson was in the middle of the march, and was shocked to find that the allied soldiers under the flashlight flew off the ladder in the explosion, and fell into the sinkhole and howled miserably.
"Fat oil, he came down, the fire suppressed, killed him......"
Michelson roared and gave an order, and the coalition soldiers responded, shooting indiscriminately according to the feeling position, there was no target at all, but Yang Guan knew very well that the coalition soldiers were under the pressure of the flashlight, and the line of sight was only fifteen meters, and the sinkhole barrier was irregular, and the ladder road became a snake, zigzag, and it seemed to be inward and circular, but in fact, many concave and convex surfaces forced the ladder to twist and turn.
According to the visual inspection of the gunfire, the diameter of the sinkhole standing was about 300 meters, Yang Guan was also surprised, walking on the Great Wall of the ladder road, watching the firepower of the coalition soldiers flying up, and a very small number of bullets shot at the surrounding barriers to send out sparks.
Obviously, the coalition forces made a mistake in their judgment, and on the premise that their line of sight was blocked, their thinking stayed in the image of the first entry into the ladder, and even though they were suspicious, they did not change much, causing the bullets to strafe upward, ignoring the fact that the diameter of 300 meters was tactfully rotated.
Misleading the terrain and fearing that they would hurt their own people, the allied firepower would naturally shoot upwards, and only the allied soldiers at the end of the team had a certain threat and blocked the ladder behind them with firepower.
After reconnaissance and analysis, Yang Guan regretted that he did not carry a 100-meter-long wire rope, otherwise he could slide straight down and intercept in front of the coalition forces.
The reality is very skinny, the coalition army has a large number, but it only occupies a circular stairway for a week and a half, and the height of the stairway stepping board is about 20 centimeters, which is very regular and gentle, even if three or four stepping boards are broken in the middle, the leg will pass.
Yang Guan followed up, kept in a position where he could see the coalition soldiers, and when he saw the coalition soldiers folding to the right side of the stone wall, he accelerated, dived, and relied on the wall on the right side to reconnoitre.
The three of them pressed the formation, alternately firing to block the dangerous area, Yang Guan quickly lowered his body, glanced at the probe in a hurry, and reflected three money darts on the way, and the three coalition soldiers met the darts to seal their throats, and fell to the ladder to spasm.
The fire behind him was interrupted, and the coalition soldiers ten meters away felt that something was wrong, so they decisively leaned against the barrier and opened fire, blocking the ladder in sight, and the bullets flew sideways with a burst of wood.
The firepower was too fierce to pass, Yang Guan activated the grenade, threw it at the right time, and shattered the trio, and the figure flashed and ran, lying down next to the corpse of the first group of coalition soldiers, collecting trophies, and a dense barrage erupted from the body, and the stepping board within five meters turned into wood and fell, and the coalition soldiers opened fire twenty meters away.
The coalition army is very cunning, the tail team is in groups of three, ten meters apart, taking into account the fifteen-meter line of sight, Yang Guan is clear, in the collection of trophies and the coalition army guerrilla, when the grenades are sufficient, there is an occasional big riot, the whole coalition army panicked.
For this reason, there was controversy among the coalition forces, and some people suggested blowing up a large section of ladders, which was resisted by everyone, insisting on ensuring the safety of the retreat, and only fools would destroy their own way.
Yang Guan was overjoyed, chasing the coalition army close to the bottom, about three hundred meters away, and found a strange scene, an ancient general waved his way to command the soldiers to fight, and there was a female general standing next to him, Yang Guan was shocked, this is impossible?
