Fortunately, there weren't many stones; they were obviously thrown down haphazardly by the people above, and it was unclear whether anyone was below. Even so, the group remained on edge.
Then, as one person swung, he was hit by a stone, and without uttering a word, he fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the sound of the stone hitting the ground was mixed with the sound of the rock hitting the ground, so it did not show anything unusual.
The group continued down the mountain. After walking for a while longer, the stones stopped falling, but one of them lost his grappling hook and fell off the mountain.
Now only three people remain, but fortunately, they are about to land.
Xiao Yiming initially chose a cliff that was relatively close to the ground, but because of the fall of the first two people, Jin Jiande was already terrified and dared not move.
Therefore, Xiao Yiming had no choice but to tie him to himself. Jin Jiande had been indulging in wine and women for the past two years and had long lost his strong physique, so he was not too heavy.
It was a bit strenuous to carry him down, but thankfully we could manage.
Seeing the ground just a few meters below, Xiao Yiming wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, we're about to land, hold on tight."
Jin Jiande hugged Xiao Yiming tightly from the back, feeling safer than he had ever felt in his life.
Xiao Yiming turned his head slightly and saw some water stains on his shoulder. Clearly, the person behind him had been crying at some point.
Without saying another word, the three of them went down the mountain one after the other.
But unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred. The ropes that had been supporting them down the mountain were worn down along the way and were now almost broken.
The person who went down first accidentally grabbed the rope as he fell, pulling Xiao Yiming and Jin Jiandra down with him.
Xiao Yiming acted decisively, grabbing the rope and quickly adjusting his position.
——
With a "bang".
First, one person fell to the ground, and then Xiao Yiming and Jin Jiande, who were tightly entangled together, fell on top of that person.
Upon landing, the two tumbled uncontrollably for a moment before coming to a stop.
"My...my leg!" Jin Jiande screamed in agony, his face contorted in pain.
A small section of bone pierced through the flesh of his left leg, protruding in a gruesome sight.
Xiao Yiming gritted his teeth. His left arm was broken, but he only groaned twice before immediately untying the ropes.
"My leg is broken! My leg is broken!" Jin Jiande screamed incessantly, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
Xiao Yiming looked at the dark mountain and lay down on the ground.
"Sigh, I really shouldn't have come." He sighed.
Jin Jiande, standing to the side, cried out in a heart-wrenching voice, as if it were the first time he had ever cried so hard in his life, until his voice became hoarse.
"Father! Come and save me! Take me back to the capital!" He lay on the ground, burying his head and wailing.
