Chapter 224 Falling off a Cliff

Su Tong is light and has good balance, so it is not difficult for him to get through.

Zhou Jin was waiting at the other end of the rope bridge. Looking at Su Tong who was about to walk onto the rope bridge, he felt inexplicably nervous.

He swallowed his saliva and said to Lin Li:

"Lin, Lin Li, you should come! You are strong, you should come to help our sister!"

Su Tong smiled and said, "Trust me! I can walk over there by myself!"

Zhou Jin still turned sideways to let Lin Li come over, then he stepped back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I couldn't help but despise myself in my heart. I must practice physical fitness, fighting, and weightlifting in the future...

Su Tong walked up the rope ladder steadily. She didn't even shake. Her balance was very good.

The distance of five or six meters was easy for her to pass.

It was almost there, and Lin Li was holding out a wooden stick to support them.

Zhou Jin was watching from behind Lin Li and quickly stepped back, trying to make more space for Lin Li and Su Tong.

Then, fearing that there was not enough space, he stepped back a few steps.

Qin Yi has been paying attention to the overall situation, Su Tong, rope ladder, wooden stakes...

When he found that Zhou Jin was retreating again and again, the road over there had not been explored yet, and the situation was not clear. Out of instinctive alert, he shouted:

"Zhou Jin——"

Don't retreat anymore!

Before he could finish the second half of the sentence, Zhou Jin's leg had already hit a thin wire.

Immediately afterwards, a series of dull explosions were heard.

Rocks flew everywhere, several wooden piles were blown up, and Lin Li watched helplessly as the plank road in front of him collapsed several meters in an instant...

Su Tong felt his feet go empty and he fell directly to the bottom of the cliff.

At the critical moment, she reached out and grabbed the rope used to make the rope bridge.

The rope was originally crossed and wrapped around the wooden stakes. The few wooden stakes that were not destroyed could not hold the rope with a rapid downward force. After only two seconds of support, the rope completely fell off and fell with Su Tong.

Qin Yi rushed towards Su Tong when the first explosion sounded. Even if he was fast, he only had time to grab the other end of the rope.

As the explosions sounded one after another, he held the rope tightly in his hand under the impact of the air waves and fell to the bottom of the cliff with Su Tong.

"Boss——"

"sister--"

The two people on the cliff screamed, but it couldn't stop the speed of their falling.

Su Tong only felt a strong sense of weightlessness and the sound of the whistling wind, and then her body hit the cliff heavily and bounced off.

Before she could react, she felt her body suddenly stop falling, but it began to sway wildly in circles on the spot.

Under the influence of gravity, the rope in my hand almost slipped out of my hand.

She quickly wrapped the rope around her wrist a few more times, then tried her best to ignore the dizziness caused by the imbalance of her body, and looked around while shaking.

She could no longer see where she had fallen when she looked up; a protruding cliff and dense branches and bushes blocked her view.

She just bumped into that place.

When I looked up, I could still see snowflakes falling.

"Su Tong——"

A voice called her briefly and anxiously, and the voice actually came from below.

Su Tong quickly lowered her head and found that there was also a figure swaying not far below her, at a similar frequency to hers.

It’s Qin Yi.

When the explosion sounded, she fell down first. She didn't know that Qin Yi had grabbed the rope, and she didn't know that he fell down with her.

Fortunately, each of them held one end of the rope, and the rope was hanging on the bushes growing on the edge of the cliff.

"Brother Yi——"

"Su Tong, don't be afraid! Hold on to the rope! Wait for me!"

Qin Yi's voice came, still calm and composed.

Su Tong grabbed the rope and looked down at him.

Qin Yi found the right moment when the rope was shaking, grabbed the cliff, and then climbed up.

He tied the other end of the rope firmly around his waist, then raised his head and said:

"The bushes up there won't hold out for long. If I climb up, you'll fall down. Wait for me!"

Su Tong replied: "Okay!"

Qin Yi freed his hands and climbed upwards with big strides. Every time he went up a little, Su Tong fell down due to gravity.

As soon as the rope slipped, snow blocks began to fall continuously, along with soil blocks. The branches of the bushes above trembled and seemed to be about to break at any time.

Fortunately, Qin Yi's movements were stable and quick, and the amplitude of Su Tong's body shaking gradually decreased. The two were almost at the same height, and Su Tong had fallen to the top of Qin Yi's head.

Qin Yi found the right position and stabilized his body, then extended a hand towards Su Tong.

Su Tong tried to get closer to Qin Yi, and after another small swing, Qin Yi grabbed her calf.

At this time, a large piece of soil with snow on it fell from above.

Qin Yi quickly climbed up another step, "Hurry and grab me——"

Su Tong's body fell down again, but at the same time, the force on top loosened, and when the bushes finally couldn't support the weight of two people and broke completely...

Qin Yi put his arm around Su Tong, and Su Tong wrapped her legs around Qin Yi's waist.

Chunks of snow fell down along with broken branches.

Without the support of the rope, Su Tong's weight fell on Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was still carrying a backpack on his back. The situation was urgent just now and Su Tong hugged Qin Yi from the front.

At this time, Qin Yi had to grab the cliff with both hands, and use only the strength of his fingers to fix the bodies of the two people.

Su Tong was in his arms, holding his head and wrapping her arms around his waist...

This posture not only made the two of them close together, but also blocked Qin Yi's vision, affecting his movements.

Su Tong wanted to try to loosen his legs and change to a more polite posture.

Qin Yi raised his head with great effort, looked around, and said:

"Don't move! You have nowhere to land now. Hold on to me first. I'll move over there."

Su Tong followed his line of sight and saw a rather sturdy tree about three or four meters to the lower right, sticking out diagonally from the cliff. It looked much more solid than the bush just now.

Qin Yi tried to let go and find the next foothold. He was now carrying a lot of weight and his vision was somewhat obstructed, so it was difficult for him to determine the position.

Of course, the most difficult thing... is that he has to try his best to ignore the fragrance that hits his nose and the warmth that fills his arms.

He had undergone the most rigorous training in the military district and was able to resist all kinds of temptations...

But, but the person in his arms now was not an enemy, but his comrade-in-arms, or to him... an extraordinary comrade-in-arms...

The distance of a few meters was more difficult to endure than the most brutal training he had ever experienced.

He needs to focus all his attention...to avoid being distracted.

Every step they move has to be confirmed again and again. There cannot be any mistakes. If they are careless for a moment, both of them will fall to the bottom of the cliff.

Su Tong didn't dare to move, for fear of affecting Qin Yi's actions.

Looking down at the beads of sweat on Qin Yi's nose and forehead, he felt a wave of guilt again -

Have I become a burden again?

As if possessed by some mysterious force, she reached out her hand to wipe the sweat off his face, but after that she felt a little regretful. Was this action... too intimate...

Sure enough, Qin Yi also stopped and looked up at her.

Their faces were close to each other, their breaths could be heard, and each other's eyes could clearly reflect the other's appearance.

"Brother Yi——I——"

Su Tong couldn't help but blush again.
