Chapter 196 Preventing Mountain Collapse
Wen Ling made a prompt decision: "Follow me!"
As she spoke, without waiting for Gordon to react, she simply grabbed Gordon sideways under her arm and ran towards the aisle she had just exited.
After all, Gordon was 1.8 meters tall, and he felt like a light cotton doll, being easily held by Wen Ling and running forward.
As Gordon was being thrown, he asked anxiously, "Princess Chen, did you find the exit here?"
As soon as he asked, he felt the scene in front of him suddenly move backwards rapidly. When he saw it clearly again, he found himself standing in front of another stone wall.
"Ah? This is a dead end?!" Gordon was dumbfounded.
Wen Ling: "No, this is another exit."
As she spoke, she struck the stone wall with her palm. This stone wall, like the one in front of it, collapsed with a "bang", revealing a door that was just big enough for one person to pass through.
There is another corridor behind the door, but you can see light at the end of this corridor.
"This is actually a hidden exit!" Gordon was overjoyed. He said in an admiring tone, "Princess Chen, you are so amazing. You can even find this!"
Wen Ling smiled awkwardly.
She was embarrassed to say that there should be a mechanism on this wall that could be opened with just a press of a button.
She was too lazy to look for it, and she probably wouldn't be able to find the mechanism even if she looked for it, so she probably just smashed it.
There was a loud collapse sound from the cave behind. Wen Ling did not delay any longer and rushed out directly.
The next second after she left, the walkway behind her collapsed completely along with the cave.
Just one second and they would be buried in it.
After escaping from the cave, Wen Ling did not stop. She changed from holding Gordon in her arms to carrying him on her back, and kept flashing down the mountain. She flashed several times before she successfully escaped to a place that was a safe distance away from the foot of the mountain and stopped.
Wen Ling then put Gordon down. The two looked back and saw that the towering mountain behind them had its peak above the halfway point collapsed with a loud bang. Dust was billowing, dyeing the sky a yellowish earth color.
Wen Ling's eyes darkened instantly, and she cursed inwardly: "Oh no! If this Beishan Mountain collapses completely, the villages around Beishan Mountain will all be buried by mudslides!"
There are at least three or four hundred people in a village, and at least one or two thousand people live in the small villages around Beishan.
If this Beishan Mountain collapses, one can imagine what will happen if we are buried underneath.
Wen Ling was so angry that his teeth were itching: "So the evil god was waiting for me here. He wanted to use this to take revenge on me. He deliberately waited for me to enter the cave before causing the North Mountain to collapse. This way, it would seem as if I had killed the people in the villages around the North Mountain!"
Gordon was furious: "This evil god who controls the world is really not a good guy. He can't possibly be the savior god as depicted in the murals!"
How could the God of Savior do such a thing that would disregard the lives of thousands of people!
And Gordon thought more about it. This was not just a matter of thousands of lives, but also about the impression Wen Ling left in the hearts of the people.
Now Wen Ling has a good impression in people's minds, and is a righteous god.
But these people in the world are also ignorant. No matter how many good things you have done before, as long as you do one thing wrong, they will send you from heaven to hell, thinking that you are bad and that all the good things you did before were fake.
People are like this, they love to create gods, and they also love to see the high and mighty gods fall from the altar.
Gordon climbed up from the bottom and saw the dark side of human nature, so he always used the worst ideas to guess human nature.
He clenched his hands at his sides.
He was the only one who knew exactly what had happened in the cave today. Once they got out, even if it cost him his life, he had to argue for Wen Ling and preserve her reputation.
Just when Gordon was making up his mind, Wen Ling suddenly pushed him and said, "You go first."
"Aren't you going with us?" Gordon asked after a moment's pause.
Wen Ling looked up at the collapsing mountain, his eyes full of unshakable determination: "No, I won't leave, I will stay here and stop the mountain from collapsing!"
"Stop...the mountain collapse?" Gordon stood there in a daze.
He always knew that Wen Ling was powerful, but was Wen Ling powerful enough to stop mountains from collapsing and the earth from breaking apart?
"Will that be dangerous?! I won't leave, I want to stay here with you!" Gordon didn't want to run away alone, he didn't want to be the kind of person who lived a life of shame.
Wen Ling glared at him fiercely: "You can't help me at all if you stay here. If you really want to help me, then you should run to the nearby villages now and find more people to warn them that the North Mountain here is about to collapse. Hurry and save them thoroughly. If you can save more lives, you will be helping me!"
It was the first time Gordon heard Wen Ling speak so harshly. His throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton. He felt a little choked and wanted to cry, but he couldn't utter a word.
Finally, he hardened his heart, turned around and ran out without looking back, shouting: "Please rest assured, Princess Chen, Qing Ruxu will definitely live up to your trust!"
He said Qing Ruxu, not Gao Deng, because Qing Ruxu was his real name.
Wen Ling waited until Qing Ruxu ran far away before she took a deep breath. She looked in the direction of Beishan with an indescribably firm gaze.
She jumped high from her spot, and made complicated hand gestures one after another, and magic arrays appeared in front of her one after another.
She gently pushed her hands forward, and the layers of magic arrays instantly grew larger, covering the collapsing North Mountain like a big net.
Countless stones that rolled down were stopped within the magic circle and did not continue to spread and roll around.
The force of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting was actually stopped by Wen Ling.
However, as the mountain collapsed as a whole, larger groups of rocks rolled down from above, causing the magic circle to become somewhat shaky.
Wen Ling quickly added a second seal to reinforce the previously shaky magic circle.
Wen Ling repeated this process, constantly using hand gestures to strengthen the magic circle.
Until her hands' movements became slower and slower, more and more strenuous, and her face became paler and paler.
Finally, when Wen Ling didn't know how many hundreds of seals he had made and his back teeth were almost sore from biting, the mountain of Beishan finally stopped collapsing and became completely stable.
All the boulders and mudslides that rolled down were firmly controlled within the magic circle.
After seeing that the situation had stabilized, Wen Ling finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
Before she closed her eyes, she saw Qing Ruxu running back in a hurry. He was dirty all over and his face was full of anxiety.
Only then did Wen Ling feel relieved, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Fortunately, there is still someone who can take her home. At least she doesn’t have to sleep in this wilderness for several days and nights.
Although this series of events happened in large numbers, they all took place in a very short period of time, almost within half an hour.
