The group stopped, and Chen Erniu took a couple of breaths. "Old Tang, why did we stop? Those guys probably aren't far from us."
Xu Hongchang and Wang Junhui had already seen the situation before them, and the two of them felt so afraid that they didn't even dare to breathe.
Why was it so quiet around him? He took a few steps forward.
"Wow!"
Chen Erniu quickly backed away, his eyes wide open. His finger trembled as he pointed to the abyss before him. "Just now, if Old Tang hadn't stopped us, wouldn't we all be in there now?"
Bu Mancang glanced at him lazily, wondering what Chen Erniu was thinking. Despite all the dangers along the way, this guy had been making a lot of noise and hadn't been intimidated by the dangers before him at all.
Fei Shuwen, their political commissar, arrived a step behind them. "What's wrong? Why aren't you moving?"
Li Weiguo pulled Fei Shuwen forward a couple of steps, "Come on, Political Commissar, look, how are we supposed to get here like this?"
Fei Shuwen took two steps forward, then quickly retreated, saying, "This, this, no, I can't do it."
Xu Hongchang's face was very serious at this moment. In front of him, a bottomless ravine suddenly unfolded, a 4-meter-wide abyss like a hideous wound on the earth.
Darkness surged and churned within, like an endless black hole threatening to devour everything. Peeking out from the edge, a sinister aura swept over you; in that deep, dark place, time and space seemed to be distorted, and a chilling air current, carrying unknown fear, climbed and coiled upwards.
Even though it was the height of summer, Xu Hongchang felt as if the sweat on his body had frozen solid by the abyss before him.
Xu Hongchang looked at both sides again. The cliffs on both sides were steep and slippery, with jagged rocks, like the fangs of a silent beast, ready to tear apart anything that dared to approach.
Occasionally, a few loose pebbles would roll down, echoing dully and long in the empty abyss, lingering for a long time, like a deep roar from the abyss, making one's heart tremble and dare not linger.
"Battalion Commander, let's go quickly."
Xu Hongchang glanced around and smiled wryly, "Now, our only options are to go back or go forward."
Fei Shuwen suppressed his discomfort and looked over. Indeed, there were no other paths around them. If they didn't go forward, they could only turn back. Turning back would obviously mean encountering the enemy.
However, they simply could not cross such an abyss.
"Let's turn back, and try to avoid encountering the enemy along the way."
"Battalion Commander, I'm afraid that won't work."
All eyes turned to Tang Shengkai.
