Chapter 187 The situation continues
Instantly, the suspension bridge shook violently, like an enraged beast. Jiang Liunian felt dizzy and nearly lost his balance. Terrified, he clutched the ropes on either side of the bridge tightly, clinging to them as if they were his last resort. He squeezed his eyes shut, not daring to even blink. His body was as stiff as a statue, refusing to move, fearing he would fall into the bottomless ravine beneath the bridge.
As time passed, the swaying of the suspension bridge gradually subsided. Jiang Liunian finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if his heart was about to burst out of his throat. His back was already drenched in cold sweat, and a cool breeze blew over him, making him shiver.
"Let's go, it looks okay!" At this moment, Zhu Chenxu, who was walking at the front of the group, spoke again and continued to move forward. However, his movement was insignificant, and the suspension bridge, which had been calm for a while, began to shake again. Jiang Liunian's face, which had been relatively calm, suddenly became extremely bitter. In desperation, he opened his eyes and stared at Zhu Chenxu's back not far ahead. Then, like a robot, he followed the front step by step, extremely slowly and mechanically.
At the same time, Gu Yunzhou, who had been standing at the bridgehead watching, took a deep breath, encouraged himself, and resolutely stepped onto the suspension bridge. As he joined, the bridge suddenly sank, swaying even more vigorously and with greater frequency than before, emitting a series of sharp, piercing creaking sounds, like the devil's grim laugh, echoing endlessly through the valley.
This strange sound seemed to penetrate directly into the hearts of several people, causing their heartbeats to accelerate involuntarily, as if they were about to burst out of their chests.
"Don't worry, it's okay! Although this bridge looks a bit rotten, it should still be able to support us across. Chenxu, don't waste time, just keep going!" Gu Yunzhou waited until the shaking of the bridge subsided a little before speaking again. At this moment, his heartbeat was still beating violently like a drum. Oh my god, this thing is really scary! At that moment, he felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Hearing Gu Yunzhou's words, Zhu Chenxu tried hard to calm himself down, took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then responded: "Everyone follow closely, I will try to slow down, you must pay attention to the situation under your feet!"
After saying this, he carefully lifted his foot and stepped forward again. However, something unexpected happened—with a crisp "crack," the seemingly solid wooden plank beneath his feet suddenly cracked and shattered into a pile of debris! Due to inertia, Zhu Chenxu stumbled forward. If he hadn't remained highly alert and reacted quickly, he would have plunged headfirst into the bottomless abyss below.
At the critical moment, Zhu Chenxu quickly grabbed the rope beside him, and at the same time, his other foot stepped on another wooden board next to him with lightning speed. This barely stopped his body from falling forward and avoided a terrible disaster.
After finally regaining his footing, Zhu Chenxu, still trembling, slapped his chest vigorously. His handsome face was now pale with fear. He stared down with wide eyes, terrified at the dark abyss below him that seemed to swallow everything. His legs trembled slightly, and even his calves began to weaken.
"Chenxu, are you okay?" Gu Yunzhou and Jiang Liunian asked almost at the same time, accompanied by anxious cries. At this moment, Jiang Liunian completely forgot the fear in his heart, and his eyes were fixed on the pale Zhu Chenxu in front of him, studying him carefully.
Zhu Chenxu's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his body was trembling slightly, but he still suppressed the discomfort and tried to squeeze out a far-fetched smile from the corner of his mouth, trying to make himself look alright, and comforted him: "No, it's okay, it just happened too suddenly, you two should be more careful!"
Hearing this, Gu Yunzhou's tense nerves relaxed slightly, while Jiang Liunian breathed a sigh of relief. However, when his gaze inadvertently glanced downward and saw the bottomless canyon and the shaky suspension bridge, his newly calmed mood was instantly replaced by tension.
"Oh my god! My head feels so dizzy! Wuuuuu... Why is there such an inhuman test? I would rather fight those brutal monsters than walk on this deadly suspension bridge! This is simply rubbing salt into my already wounded heart. It's really too bullying!" Jiang Liunian closed his eyes tightly and began to curse while trembling.
Just as the words fell, a shrill scream suddenly resounded through the air, shocking everyone present with a sharp pain in their eardrums. Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the once solid pedal under Jiang Liunian's feet had suddenly broken in two without any warning! This sudden change caught Jiang Liunian off guard, and he fell forward without paying attention.
Due to inertia, Jiang Liunian's center of gravity shifted rapidly forward, pressing heavily against the wooden planks in front of him. These planks were clearly unable to withstand such a massive impact, triggering a terrifying chain reaction. For a moment, only the sound of "crackling" and "breaking" echoed endlessly, as if the entire world was being torn apart by this terrifying sound. The piercing sound reached everyone's ears, causing their scalps to tingle and their hearts to become even more terrified, as if countless ghosts were screaming and wreaking havoc in their ears.
"Hurry! Hold on tight! Don't let go!" Gu Yunzhou shouted at the top of his lungs, seeing the dire situation. However, before his shouts faded from the air, the dilapidated suspension bridge, seemingly unable to bear the weight of the crowd, began to slowly crumble.
Jiang Liunian was a man of quick reflexes. In the nick of time, he reached out with lightning speed and firmly grasped the ropes on either side of the suspension bridge, placing his toes on the swaying ropes with difficulty. At that moment, he looked like a pitiful koala, clinging tightly to the two life-saving ropes, not daring to let up even a little.
