As the enemy began to retaliate, our narrow cliff suddenly became dangerous, and everyone started to take cover in the enemy's blind spots.

The monkey threw the rope down the cliff and shouted to me, "Young Master Duan, you go down first, I'll cover your retreat!"

I gasped for breath: "If we leave, what will happen to Jiang Man and Lin Que?"

Song Laosan spoke up from the side: "Leaving now is much better than everyone being trapped. Once they rush up, we won't even have a chance to rappel! We have to get out of here first so we can find a way to rescue our trapped companions, otherwise we'll all be done for!"

The monkey, whose attention had been focused on me, suddenly turned around upon hearing Song Laosan's voice, lifted his night vision goggles, and asked me, "Why is this bastard here?"

"You'd better stay alive if you want to curse me! Even if I'm hateful, can I be more hateful than the people outside? If you want to die, then stay. I don't want to go crazy with you!"

After saying this, Song Laosan walked directly to the edge of the cliff, grabbed the rope, and jumped off.

Seeing Song Laosan leave, I thought of going over to pull Jiang Man up by the rope, but the people outside kept shooting inside, and I didn't even have a chance to peek out.

At this moment, the monkey drew his sword and roared at me, "Young Master Duan, I've run out of crossbow bolts! You go, I'll cover you!"

"Let's go together! You and Manjing go first, hurry up!"

I heard the monkeys shouting, and in the end, I made the decision to leave.

Cao Xiong is a complete madman. If I continue to waste time, I'm just forcing the people around me to their deaths.

Left with no other choice, I had to retreat before the enemy forces could rush over.

We left in a hurry without even bringing protective gear. After I grabbed the rope, I wrapped it around my ankles and started moving downhill.

At this point, Jiang Man and Lin Que were ten meters away from us laterally, and there was nothing we could do to rescue them.

Seeing that we had all landed, Lin Que shouted to Jiang Man, "Miss Jiang, our fates are different! My life is cheap, but yours is different! You don't need to risk your life with me, go quickly!"

"All lives are the same, there is no high or low, noble or base! We are all partners in the same team, there is no need to belittle ourselves!"

Jiang Man completely ignored Lin Que's words and continued to use tools to repair the broken equipment.

Seeing Jiang Man's actions, I was so anxious that I was sweating profusely: "Jiang Man, don't worry about Lin Que, go down first, and after I land, climb up to help him!"

"Time is of the essence, we can't afford to waste any more time, you guys leave!"

Jiang Man looked at me and said, "Even if Lin Que's equipment can't be repaired, he only has a chance to live if we are all captured together! The Black Robe Group has a blood feud with the Tianxia Group, and we still have many secrets about them! I can stay as a bargaining chip and save Lin Que's life!"

"boom!"

Just then, an explosion suddenly came from the cliff above us, and the flames illuminated the canyon in an instant.

I initially thought Cao Xiong's shouting was just to put psychological pressure on us, but I never expected that this bastard really wanted to kill us.

Soon after the explosion, the light of a flashlight shone from above.

Seeing this, Jiang Man shouted at me, "Duan Shenxing, don't waste time, get out of here quickly! Only if you leave can we have any hope of breaking this deadlock! Do you understand what I mean?"

"The person is down there!"

A beam of flashlight descended from the sky, and the people above, seeing us rappelling, shouted, "Pull the rope up! They dare not let go at this height!"

As the people above began to pull the rope, my body swayed violently in the air.

Seeing that Jiang Man and the others' rope was being pulled higher and higher, I had no choice but to increase my descent speed: "Take care of yourselves, I will definitely rescue you!"

After saying that, I released the rope and jumped down from a height of five or six meters, disappearing into the woods.

"Bang! Bang!"

The people above saw us running away and raised their guns to fire again, but at this height, the bullets had long since deviated to who-knows-where.

To avoid being tracked by the black-robed figure, we didn't dare stop after entering the woods. We ran quite a distance before finally stopping by a mountain spring.

The monkey lay down beside the spring, not caring whether the water was clean or not, and after gulping it down, it cursed loudly, "Damn it! In the city, we can get arrested for playing with a toy gun that fires BB pellets, but these guys in black robes are like damn arms dealers! They even have submachine guns?"

"my country's history of gun control is not long. It was only in 1996 that a comprehensive ban on guns was implemented. Before that, Hualong in Qinghai, Beihai in Guangxi, and Songtao in Guizhou were known as the three major black gun production bases! The firearms made in these places could even rival standard rifles! Even gangs from Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan would come to the mainland to buy firearms back then! All this time, it has only been twenty or thirty years. Those gun-making craftsmen back then are now in their prime."

Song Laosan explained, "The Black Robe Organization is an organization that does dirty work for Jinbai International and harbors a large number of criminals. It's not surprising that there are a few gun-making craftsmen in it!"

Did I ask you?

Upon hearing Song Laosan speak, the monkey glared at him irritably: "This is our own business, it has nothing to do with you! Get lost, don't get in my way!"

"Monkey, forget it."

Although I also dislike Song Laosan, we're all in the same boat. Now that Jiang Man has been captured by the men in black robes, I really have no mood to argue with them.

Old Song sighed and said to me, "Can I have a cigarette?"

I didn't say anything, I just took out my cigarette pack and threw it over.

“I know that my betrayal back then has completely disillusioned you, and I also know that I can’t gain your trust with just a few words! But since we’ve encountered this situation, we have to face it and find a solution.”

Old Song lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "We all know what kind of people the Black Robe Organization is! Now that we all have teammates who have been held captive, the first thing we need to do is work together to rescue them. What do you think?"

I glanced sideways at Song Laosan: "Why should I cooperate with you?"

Old Song cut to the chase: "To be honest, according to our investigation, the key to opening the Miao Jiang Immortal Palace is very likely the three beast heads hidden in these mountains! We've already obtained two people with these three beast heads. If you agree to cooperate, I can hand them over!"

"You don't need to hand it over, that thing is already in our hands!"

The monkey glared fiercely at Song Laosan: "When you were with us, you were treacherous and cunning. Now that you've joined another faction, you've learned to protect your master!"
