The monsters blocked the retreat route and this time they no longer wandered around the foot of the mountain as before. Instead, they began to stagger up the mountain along the only path, forcing the crowd to retreat to the top of the mountain.

The village was surrounded by cliffs on three sides. The princess organized the people to search for vines and ropes everywhere, hoping to use the tools to climb down the mountain from a cliff. She looked around and chose the side of the mountain, which was relatively flat.

Wei Li and Xiang Qi led some people to resist halfway up the mountain.

However, as more and more monsters came up, they had to retreat again and again, and they could no longer resist at all.

Night falls quietly.

The monsters at the bottom of the mountain rushed towards the top of the mountain frantically, and more and more monsters appeared in front of them.

Seeing this, Wei Li gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat quickly! Go straight down the cliff!"

Staying here would only be a waste of life, so he might as well take a gamble. He would rather fall to his death than turn into a monster.

When the group heard his words, they turned around and ran to the top of the mountain. Everyone had the same idea: they would rather die than become monsters.

The climbing rope was only half made. When they saw them returning in a hurry, everyone knew that the situation was not good and they couldn't help but speed up the weaving movements in their hands.

But no matter how fast you go, it’s not as fast as the zombies.

Soon the monster rushed into the village.

Some people didn't care that the rope was not yet finished, and tried to go down by touching the half-woven vines. More and more people climbed down the side cliff along the rope.

Wei Li and others fought desperately to buy time for everyone.

But there were too many zombies, and their speed and strength at night were simply not something a few people could resist. In less than a moment, a group of people had retreated to the edge of the cliff.

The situation suddenly became chaotic.

The monster was only a few steps away from the crowd. People rushed to grab the ropes. In order to survive, there was no harmony as usual. During the scramble, some people slipped and fell off the cliff, and their lives were unknown.

People began to scream in fear.

Xiang Qi and others were worried about the princess's safety and began to search for her everywhere.

Princess Zhongshan saw this, and she took Cui Erniang and quietly moved towards her followers. The side was already in complete chaos. If they didn't move, even if they were not knocked down by the zombies, they would be injured by these crazy people.

The princess ran over, skirt in hand. To her right was a cliff, its shapeless and colorless due to the lack of light, as black as the abyss. As she ran, she felt a sudden push from behind, and the sudden force caused her entire body to tilt forward uncontrollably, falling straight towards the cliff.

Princess Zhongshan tried to grab something to stop herself from falling, but it was all in vain. As she fell off the cliff, she looked up and saw Cui Erniang's panicked eyes, perched on the steep cliff edge under the moonlight.

At that moment, she thought she was going to die.

At this moment, a figure rushed towards her in the darkness and hugged her waist.

The feeling of weightlessness from falling rapidly made the face of the person in front of me blurry and I couldn't see who it was at all.

Princess Zhongshan thought that perhaps one of her loyal followers saw it and jumped down as well.

How can a person be so stupid? If something happens to her, Cui Erniang will be dead. In today's world, the only way to survive is to follow her. She doesn't even understand such a simple truth. Does she think that she can replace her by dying?

What an idiot.

Continuously falling, a strong sense of weightlessness came over me.

Unexpectedly, there is always a way out. The two people who were halfway down were caught by a crooked tree. The huge impact force made the person behind them groan.

Princess Zhongshan was unharmed.

The surroundings were as black as ink, and they were still hanging in the air. She lay on the man, not daring to move rashly.

The princess thought for a moment and then asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Wei Li tightly grasped the tree trunk beneath him and replied with difficulty: "I won't die."

During the fall, he kept trying to grab the protruding rocks on the cliff. His entire right arm was hit by the sharp rocks and bleeding. There was no light around him, and it was pitch black. As a result, the princess had not noticed the blood flowing out of his wound.

Wei Li's idea was very simple. The Zhongshan army was still looking for the whereabouts of the princess, and his fifth cousin asked him to keep the news secret, probably because she had other arrangements.

The princess is a daughter of the royal family, and the disaster she suffered now is because her cousins, out of selfishness, did not inform him of her whereabouts in the first place. It is neither reasonable nor moral for him to watch her die.

Otherwise, how can I explain to my fifth cousin when I go back, and how should my fifth cousin explain to the Zhongshan Army?

Princess Zhongshan was stunned when she heard the answer.

Although she had only met him twice, she could still recognize his voice. She never expected that the person who jumped down next was him!

The princess panicked and accidentally touched Wei Li's wound while moving.

He immediately grimaced in pain, but fortunately the night covered him up and he didn't lose his composure too much.

"My lady, don't move yet." Wei Li paused for a moment before speaking. "I don't know how high this tree is from the ground, and whether it can support the two of us. Let's hold on for a while. When daybreak comes, we can see the surrounding terrain clearly and then find a way to get down."

Princess Zhongshan's body stiffened and she stopped moving immediately.

Lord Wei was right. They were not out of danger yet. Who knew if Wei's followers would look for them along the cliff after they found out they were missing?

But the thought of lying on top of a grown man like this, if someone saw me...

She blushed with embarrassment.

The two of them remained in the same position without moving, struggling to endure the hours.

The two of them didn't talk during the time, and the atmosphere was too weird.

I waited so long for dawn.

Princess Zhongshan then noticed that the man beneath her was extremely pale and his right arm was covered in blood. When she regained her senses, a strong smell of blood hit her in the face. His eyes were closed tightly and his thin lips were bloodless.

This time she was really panicking, and said in a somewhat bewildered manner: "Wake up first..."

The person under him did not respond and seemed to have fallen into a coma.

what to do?

What should she do?

Princess Zhongshan tried to get up in a panic, but she had no support and failed after several attempts. She looked up hurriedly and soon found a small cave entrance in the stone wall at the end of the tree trunk.

She gritted her teeth, supported herself on Wei Li's chest and climbed up, kneeling on the tree trunk. She was afraid of touching his wound, so she moved his body little by little.

It is now daytime and the visibility around is very clear. You can already see the scenery below the cliff.

At this time, they were still about ten feet above the ground. If they fell from this height, they would still die.

The moving process was extremely difficult. When the people were finally moved into the cave, the princess was already exhausted. She didn't care about the mud on the ground and leaned against the stone wall, gasping for breath.

After resting for a short while, the princess stood up again.

She had to find a way to stop Wei Langjun's bleeding, otherwise he would die from excessive blood loss before the guards found them.
