Chapter 409: Chasing and Blocking
Although Lin Zhiqing didn't say it, he was actually afraid in his heart.
As they moved downwards, only the vines could assist them.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to be suspended in mid-air, looking very terrifying.
Lin Zhiqing's entire weight was almost on Lu Huai. She suppressed her fear and looked for some protruding stones to step on from time to time to relieve the pressure on Lu Huai.
Lu Huai felt Lin Zhiqing's body trembling slightly. Noticing that Lin Zhiqing was afraid of heights, he spoke softly:
"Aqing, close your eyes."
Lin Zhiqing is afraid of very few things, and fear of heights is definitely one of them.
However, Lin Zhiqing shook his head: "If I close my eyes and can't see where I'm going to land on the cliff, I won't be able to share your burden."
"At this time, you can rely on me." Lu Huai carefully protected Lin Zhiqing's body.
Lin Zhiqing's heart softened.
On weekdays, she does appear to be very strong.
But only Lu Huai knew that she was indeed afraid.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath: "Lu Huai, I..."
"Shh!" She was interrupted by Lu Huai before she could finish her words.
Then she heard the familiar sound of a body rubbing against the cliff wall.
Someone else is coming?
Lin Zhiqing's body stiffened, and Lu Huai also stopped moving.
At this moment, they had only descended one-third of the distance.
Is he from the Lin family or the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?
Just as Lin Zhiqing's heartbeat accelerated, the sound of wind mixed with human voices came out.
"Strange, why are all the people who just came down gone?"
"It's too dark in here. I can't see anything."
"Why do I smell burning wood?"
It’s someone from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion!
Lin Zhiqing's pupils shrank!
Before he and Lu Huai came down, they had almost wiped out all the traces in the cave.
But the problem is that the vine is still tied to the big rock.
If they were discovered, she and Lu Huai would be in danger!
"Damn it, it came so quickly." Lin Zhiqing gritted his teeth:
"Jiang Yunhe is really relentless in his pursuit."
"He is cautious by nature and leaves no room for maneuver. Ah Qing, if they see the vines, we will be in danger." Lu Huai said in a serious tone:
"Now that they've discovered something's wrong with the cave, they're afraid of alerting the enemy, so they won't be using fire for a while."
"We only have one choice now."
"Keep going down!" Before Lu Huai finished speaking, Lin Zhiqing made the decision.
Standing still would indeed slow down the speed at which those above them could discover them.
But if she kept hanging in the air and those people realized something was wrong and lit the fire, then she and Lu Huai would also be discovered.
It will be discovered whether it is discovered early or late.
If this is the case, they might as well hurry up, go down a little further, and try to get closer to the ground.
Lu Huai knew what was going on and said, "Hold on tight to me. We're still less than six feet away. If we hurry up, we can get down."
Lin Zhiqing nodded.
The next moment, she was embraced by Lu Huai.
Lu Huai's speed was more than twice as fast as before.
But his movements were more cautious than before.
This is to suppress the movement as much as possible and reduce the swinging of the vines.
Lin Zhiqing leaned in Lu Huai's arms with her eyes tightly closed.
But soon, the vines began to sway at an abnormal frequency.
Both Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing noticed something was wrong.
"Aqing, they've discovered us!" As soon as Lu Huai finished speaking, the vines began to slowly grow upwards.
The people above want to pull them up!
Actually want to catch him alive... Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath:
"Lu Huai, how far are we from the ground?"
"Three feet!" Lu Huai continued to move while speaking.
Three zhang, that is about seven meters!
If you fall from this height, you will either die or be crippled.
As time passed, the vines grew faster and faster.
Lu Huai's downward movements were somewhat restricted, and the two of them seemed to be being pulled upwards.
Lu Huai's heartbeat became a little faster, he pursed his lips and said:
"Aqing, can you trust me?"
"Believe!" Lin Zhiqing's voice was muffled but very firm.
"We have to give up the vines now and just jump down!" Lu Huai spoke again.
Lin Zhiqing quickly replied: "Jump! I believe you."
Lu Huai had no time to think. He hugged Lin Zhiqing tightly, looked around, and then jumped.
After his hands were free, he covered Lin Zhiqing's eyes.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't see anything, he could only feel the security in Lu Huai's embrace.
Lu Huai leaned back, using the force of the cliff to push off, his eyes fixed on the big tree not far away.
Soon, his body rushed out and shook off the rising vines.
Just drop down into that tree and they'll be on the ground in no time!
He stretched out a hand and leaped to grab the tree trunk.
He and Lin Zhiqing's bodies continued to sway due to inertia.
Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but open his eyes. When he saw the ground under their feet, before he could be happy, he heard a sound of breaking air.
The corners of her mouth gradually stiffened.
Arrow, it’s an arrow!
"Lu Huai, they shot arrows!" Lin Zhiqing couldn't help but worry.
She and Lu Huai are now too big a target and cannot be moved easily.
When Lu Huai heard this, he measured the distance between them and the ground with his eyes.
It’s only a little over ten feet away.
He frowned slightly: "Aqing, hold on tight!"
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing hugged Lu Huai tightly.
Lu Huai made a concerted effort, dodging the arrows while constantly swaying his body forward.
Soon, he got rid of it.
"Bang!"
As Lu Huai moved, Lin Zhiqing felt their bodies being thrown out.
Lu Huai turned over and suddenly cushioned himself under her.
As he touched the ground, Lin Zhiqing heard Lu Huai's groan.
Lu Huai is using his body to protect her!
"Lu Huai!" Lin Zhiqing quickly climbed up from Lu Huai's arms: "Are you okay?"
Lu Huai shook his head: "Nothing, let's go."
As he said this, he gritted his teeth and climbed up.
Seeing his frown, Lin Zhiqing knew that he was not in good condition.
But there was no time to check now. Lu Huai grabbed her hand and went straight into the woods on the left.
At the same time, several more men in black fell from the cliff.
Seeing the traces left by the two men, they moved in unison and quickly into the woods.
Hearing several footsteps, Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly:
"Lu Huai, I suspect Jiang Yunhe has more than just people stationed on the cliff. Given his personality, he will definitely send people down the cliff to search."
"Even if I were still alive, he would definitely send people to block our exit."
Lu Huai understood this very well. He held Lin Zhiqing's hand tightly and never let go:
"Don't worry, I'm here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he paused and his eyes fell on the dense forest in front of him.
quiet!
It’s too quiet!
Lin Zhiqing could even hear his own breathing.
Something is so wrong around here!
As this feeling emerged, rustling sounds began to appear around them.
Afterwards, people continued to appear around, surrounding Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai.
Lin Zhiqing's pupils shrank. They were completely surrounded.
There are too many people.
