Firefly Journey

Chapter 44 The Vanished Companion (3)

"What do you all think?" Wind Chime asked everyone.

This hastily assembled team, which includes various factions, cannot be united as one, and necessary inquiries are still required.

No one said no at this moment, because everyone wanted to get a share of the spoils left by the ancient god. If they were afraid, why did they come in?

No one objected; the matter was quite clear.

Feng Ling glanced ahead and took her first step. The floating bridge swayed and trembled slightly, and the St. Louis students followed. Lin Yuanran, who was in the middle, couldn't help but look down from the bridge.

He hadn't expected to look, but once he did, he felt dizzy and almost lost his balance. Fei Wei, who was behind him, steadied him. He wasn't surprised by Lin Yuanran's reaction; he had felt the same way on his first mission.

We've all come this far step by step.

The two giant brothers were at the back, and the slight swaying became violent the moment they stepped onto the floating bridge. Never underestimate the weight of a giant.

Fengling walked steadily until she reached the middle of the bridge, where she suddenly stopped, as if she had heard something.

call!

The figures of those sculpted knights reappeared at the entrance of the cave.

At the same time, the previously quiet floating bridge began to sway violently from side to side, as if blown by the wind.

"Damn it! They're coming after us!"

"We should have wiped them out completely before moving forward!"

Now that they're on the bridge, the terrain restricts their actions, making it even more difficult to deal with these sculpted knights.

"You're a persistent ghost!" Steve suddenly turned around, pulled out his pistol, and fired wildly at the knight army, but to little avail.

call!call!

The sculpted knights were unaffected by the "air ban" and flew in from both sides, launching continuous attacks.

"How can this be? This is cheating!" Paninger said indignantly. "We're both flying races, why am I subject to restrictions?"

On the narrow wooden bridge, the group began to outwit and outmaneuver the sculpted knight.

With a variety of methods employed, the group managed to hold their own against the opponent for a time, maintaining a fighting stance as they advanced. By this time, they had covered two-thirds of the distance across the bridge.

“Hang in there, everyone,” Steve said, pulling out another large bomb. “Hidaa, it’s time to show them the power of technology.”

"Can't you be a little more frugal?" Hidaya said helplessly. The resources she brought on this trip were limited, and Steve had used up everything that was meant for a crucial moment. Of course, perhaps in his eyes, this was indeed a crucial moment.

"Die!" Steve shouted furiously, throwing the bomb in his hand.

The bomb exploded in mid-air, and the scattered fragments instantly shattered several statues into pieces, but there were simply too many of them, making this a drop in the ocean.

“Damn it! Are they really statues?!” Pittman exclaimed as he saw several statues cutting the chains connecting the bridge. If they succeeded, the entire floating bridge would lose its balance and collapse.

"They want to destroy the wooden bridge, should we stop them?" Butler also asked.

“Keep moving forward,” Wind Chime said calmly. The statue knights only cause damage on the side they came from, which means that even if the bridge really collapses, they won’t actually fall, because the other side is still holding them together.

If you're fast enough, you can reach the other side within that time.

"hurry up!"

With less than a third of the journey remaining, the group began to pick up speed. During this time, the iron chain securing the floating log bridge was broken by the statue knight, causing the bridge to collapse vertically.

Lin Yuanran could almost feel the unstable wooden planks beneath his feet. He ran for his life, but his divine guidance was useless in this situation. If he slowed down even slightly, he would fall into the abyss, and who knew what was below!

The wind chimes were always at the front, but suddenly she stopped. Lin Yuanran was right behind her and almost bumped into her. She didn't say anything, glanced at the group of statue knights behind her, and then flipped down, placed her hand on the handrail, and unleashed a Thunderous Oracle.

Now, Lin Yuanran was at the very front. Although he didn't know why Feng Ling did this, he knew she had her reasons, so he continued running forward.

However, the leading griffin rider seemed to have been waiting for this moment. Its lance, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, thrust towards the wind chime!

The spearhead pierced the air, and the wind chime let go!

She chose an odd angle, avoiding the griffin rider, and her body left the floating bridge, about to fall into the abyss!

Lin Yuanran was suddenly stunned. There was no time for him to think. Out of instinct, he reached out his hand.

His hand grabbed the wind chime, which, still in a downward position, looked up with a helpless expression, as if to say, "Are you mentally challenged?"

Originally, Lin Yuanran thought that if he grabbed the wind chimes with one hand and the floating wooden bridge with the other, everyone could still be saved.

Reality doesn't follow the rules. The first shot missed, and the Griffin Rider fired a second shot. Unless Lin Yuanran didn't want this hand, he had no choice but to give up holding onto the rope.

This caused the two people to leave the floating bridge at the same time and begin to fall at an extremely high speed.

"Wind Chime!" Paninger noticed the situation ahead, but she was powerless to do anything about it. Not only was she being attacked by the statue knights, but the bridge behind them had also been destroyed, and the group was running for their lives.

Allen was the calmest among the trainees, and even in his busy schedule, he didn't forget to say, "Trust Fengling."

“Of course I trust her,” Fway said loudly. “But I don’t trust that guy. He’s just making things worse for Wind Chime!”

Only then did Allen realize that Lin Yuanran was also missing.

"I wish him good luck..."

Following the vertical floating log bridge, everyone used their own methods and finally reached the other side. The statue knights stopped, seemingly afraid of the other side, and did not move forward an inch.

"They... they just wanted to drive us here?" Steve said. "We were going to come anyway, are they crazy?!"

"Who knows? Anyway, those annoying things are finally quiet now." Hida stretched.

"Is everyone alright?"

"fine."

"very good."

“Two of our classmates are missing, but don’t worry,” Allen said.

"That's good."

“Not only them, but Ram Rachel is also missing,” the old mage Woolf suddenly said.

Everyone looked around and, sure enough, couldn't find him. Fway frowned and said, "Wasn't he here the whole time?"

“He was right behind me!” Woolf said. “But I was busy dealing with those statues and didn’t notice him at all! Now he’s gone.”

“Obviously, he fell,” Steve said.

"What should I do?"

“There’s no other way, we can’t just jump down, let’s keep going,” Steve said calmly.

“Yes, relax a bit,” Fway said, leading the way.

Seeing this, the others followed, leaving the two giant brothers lagging behind. Both brothers looked somewhat uneasy; the series of events had instilled a sense of despair in the brave giants.
