Chapter 102 The Chasm

Zhan Wu Shang hung between the two long logs like a sausage. With his weight, he wasn't quite swaying in the wind. As for the people who had fallen off the bridge... Zhan Wu Shang had no time to worry about that. He wasn't out of danger himself!

"Hang in there, Wu Shang!" Yu Tian Shen Ming squatted in front of him, quite pleased.

Zhan Wu Shang strained his arms to hold on, gritting his teeth. "Pull me up."

"There's no room!" Yu Tian Shen Ming looked around and said. Indeed, even though such a tragic thing had happened, it wasn't an immediate reason to clear space. The mountain road was still crowded. While squeezing in one or two more people wouldn't be difficult, the problem was that no one dared to push, as it could easily lead to accidents.

So Zhan Wu Shang continued to hang there like an exhibit, receiving commentary from everyone, and some even placed bets on him.

"How long do you think he can hold on?"

"Five minutes, I bet five minutes."

"Six minutes!"

"Seven minutes!!!"

"Bets are closed! Bets are closed!!"

The lovely players were discovering the fun of the game at every moment.

However, Zhan Wu Shang was clearly more of a man than they imagined. Ten minutes had already passed, and he was still hanging there with ease. Maintaining this situation relied mainly on endurance rather than strength, and endurance was a rather vaguely defined attribute in the game, with systematic assistance in various aspects. Looking at Zhan Wu Shang's condition, hanging there for an hour or two seemed no problem.

Fortunately, reality wasn't so cruel. After more than ten minutes, the crowd on Yu Tian Shen Ming's side finally loosened up, and everyone began the rescue operation for Zhan Wu Shang.

People like Gu Fei, who lacked strength, didn't dare to come up to help. They were likely to fail to pull Zhan Wu Shang up and be dragged down by his reaction force. In the end, it was Rebirth Purple Crystal's Liu Yue's Rain and another warrior who came out together and pulled Zhan Wu Shang up. Zhan Wu Shang was in great pain. Hanging there was already embarrassing enough, and now he had been rescued by girls. How could he face anyone in the future!

Seeing Zhan Wu Shang freed, extremely enthusiastic applause rang out again on both sides of the mountain path. Then the players reacted to another problem: the bridge was gone! Half of the mercenary团's people hadn't crossed over yet! What to do?

Before the players could think any further, a few people against the flow of the crowd who had already crossed the bridge on Gu Fei's side came to the edge of the cliff. After looking at it, they communicated with the people on the opposite mountain road, straightened the two long logs, and began to pave the bridge.

"The guild of Longitudinal and Horizontal?" Everyone realized.

Han Jia Gong Zi nodded. Obviously, Dao Ying Nian Hua had already told everyone in the团 leader's group.

"The guild of Longitudinal and Horizontal came prepared," Han Jia Gong Zi said to the guys around him. "They couldn't continue after reaching this point last time. This time, they hired a mercenary团 and brought the equipment to cross this cliff as well."

"They made it themselves?" Everyone sized up the members of the Longitudinal and Horizontal guild, who were constantly taking out wooden boards from their pockets and laying them on the long logs.

"Yeah, not easy!" Han Jia Gong Zi also sighed. There was no carpenter profession in the game. No one knew how Longitudinal and Horizontal had logged and made these bridge panels.

The new bridge was quickly paved. Learning from the previous experience, the players who crossed the bridge later were very careful, and no one dared to show off or be bold on the bridge anymore. Everyone walked across quietly and cautiously.

Gu Fei and the others continued to advance on the mountain road with the crowd. Before long, they reached the second bridge crossing point. One person after another walked onto it. When it was Zhan Wu Shang's turn, countless players looked at him with sincere eyes. "Brother, can you be the last one to cross?"

Zhan Wu Shang nodded with tears in his eyes and squatted in a corner against the wall.

Gu Fei and others waited for him after crossing the bridge in a chivalrous manner. Zhan Wu Shang didn't really become the last one. A Longitudinal and Horizontal player stayed behind and signaled Zhan Wu Shang to cross first. Tragedy wouldn't happen repeatedly. After Zhan Wu Shang successfully crossed the bridge, the Longitudinal and Horizontal player followed him and took down the paved bridge piece by piece. Finally, the two nearly five-meter-long logs were stuffed directly into his pocket, leaving everyone in awe, as if by magic.

The team continued to advance with stops and starts, and they had crossed four cliffs. After another team stop, there was no sign of resumption for a long time. The mercenary团 leaders reported information to the unknowing团 members: the new cliff ahead was too far, and the bridging logs prepared by Longitudinal and Horizontal were not long enough. They were trying to find a solution.

After waiting for a long time, the Longitudinal and Horizontal player who was responsible for crossing the cliff and removing the bridge, who had been at the end of the team, came to the Gongzi Elite Team, looked at Gu Fei, and said, "Thousand Miles, brother? Our guild leader invites you to come forward."

"Me?" Gu Fei asked, puzzled.

Han Jia Gong Zi had a smug smile that said, "I knew it," and patted Gu Fei, saying, "Let's go, I'll go with you."

"Only you can cross the cliff without a bridge. The guild leader said so," the player replied.

Gu Fei nodded. Although he had been walking on the bridge with everyone, it wasn't necessary for him. He could float across those cliffs with a flash. Actually, it wasn't just him. The first cliff was less than three meters, a distance that everyone could achieve during a long jump in a sand pit, but the problem was that it was a cliff, and the psychological barrier wasn't so easy to overcome.

Accompanied by Han Jia Gong Zi and the Longitudinal and Horizontal player, Gu Fei came to the forefront of the team like a savior. The cliff in front of them was estimated to be seven or eight meters, and the mist rising from the ravine made the opposite mountain road look a bit hazy. Wu Shi Zhi Jian, Dao Ying Nian Hua, and Feng Xing, the three core leaders of Longitudinal and Horizontal, were frowning and squatting at the front. When they saw Gu Fei arriving, they hurriedly greeted him.

"The wood isn't long enough. I didn't expect there to be such a wide ditch," Wu Shi Zhi Jian said. Countless players called the cliff a "ditch," mainly to psychologically suggest to themselves that it wasn't that scary.

Gu Fei glanced at it and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"Use ropes," Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"Hmm? I'll go over first, then pull a rope, and everyone will hang on the rope to cross?" Gu Fei asked.

"Yes!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian nodded.

Gu Fei stood at the edge of the cliff and looked down, laughing, "Hanging on ropes, aren't you afraid?"

Wu Shi Zhi Jian sighed, "Many people are afraid to cross... No choice. But can you cross this ditch, Thousand Miles, brother?"

"I should be able to!" Gu Fei nodded.

"Then we'll have to trouble you," Wu Shi Zhi Jian said.

"Okay, tell everyone to clear a path for me!" Gu Fei said.

"Hmm?" Wu Shi Zhi Jian was puzzled.

"It's too wide to cross with just Flash. I have to jump a bit," Gu Fei said.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian was stunned again and gave a thumbs up. "Thousand Miles, brother, you're really brave."

This was Longitudinal and Horizontal territory, and clearing a path was just a matter of Wu Shi Zhi Jian's word.

Gu Fei stepped back a few meters, rubbing his hands together. Han Jia Gong Zi came to Wu Shi Zhi Jian, also rubbing his hands together, "Guild Leader Wu Shi, this is the special contribution we agreed on in advance."

Wu Shi Zhi Jian nodded helplessly, "I've noted it down."

"Hehe!" Han Jia Gong Zi stood aside with his arms folded, shaking his head at Gu Fei, "Go!"

"You don't have to tell me!" Gu Fei had already run up, rushed to the edge of the cliff, and jumped up without hesitation. He had already crossed half the cliff with just the jump, and then he chanted in mid-air, and his figure disappeared with a whoosh. He was already standing firmly on the opposite mountain road.

Applause thundered.

Of course, what everyone admired wasn't that Gu Fei had this skill, but that he dared to fly off the cliff. Even if others knew Flash, they might not have the courage to fly off the cliff and then chant. Gu Fei was good; he casually jumped and chanted and crossed.

"Rope!" Gu Fei shouted from the other side.

Wu Shi Zhi Jian took out a giant axe, tied the thick rope tightly to the axe handle, and waved his arm, sending the giant axe whistling through the air with the rope. Gu Fei didn't reach out to catch it, waiting for the giant axe to land.

The mountain road was bare and there was no place to tie the rope. Wu Shi Zhi Jian's plan was to tie the rope to the axe handle and then nail the axe firmly into the ground.

Of course, tying just one axe didn't seem safe. Wu Shi Zhi Jian asked his subordinates to gather more, and they threw three more giant axes over in a hurry. They were all the kind of crudely made giant axes that were barely axe-shaped. It was really not easy that they could gather such broken weapons from players who were all level 40.

Immediately afterward, someone threw over hammers. Gu Fei was busy on this side. He didn't have the strength, so the physical work was slow. On the other side, Wu Shi Zhi Jian and the other warriors took action and nailed five giant axes into the ground in a few strokes. The rope was tied around and around five times. Gu Fei was banging and clanging, making more noise than anyone else, but his efficiency was lower than anyone else's.

The end of the axe handle wasn't sharp, so it didn't have the spirit of a nail. It was easy to nail at the beginning, but the deeper it went, the more difficult it became. Gu Fei worked for a long time before he managed to plant four axes. Finally, he began to wrap the rope around the axe handles, and everyone was terrified.

"Thousand Miles, brother, use more strength, wrap it around a few more times!!" Wu Shi Zhi Jian shouted.

"Tie a knot," Han Jia Gong Zi reminded.

Finally, everything was ready, and a rope bridge crossed between the cliffs.

"Who's first?" Everyone looked at each other, politely declining.

"I'll go!" As the guild leader, Wu Shi Zhi Jian showed some demeanor at this time. He was the first to stand out, patted his hands, squatted down, grabbed the rope, and jumped down.

Just like Zhan Wu Shang hanging on the wooden bridge before, this mainly relied on endurance, the fear of not being able to hold on. So it wasn't too difficult in the game. Wu Shi hung under the rope, alternating his hands, swaying and twisting all the way over. It took a lot of effort to climb back onto the mountain road on this side. Gu Fei was weak, so his help was limited. Wu Shi Zhi Jian lay there, eating dirt for a long time before he climbed up. After taking a few deep breaths, he turned back and shouted, "Cross over! It's solid, no problem!"
