Chapter 95 Centipede Hanging Mountain Ladder
This time, the group turned onto the wide main road and soon saw the exit ahead.
Cheng Feng quickened his pace and led everyone out of the tomb passage.
But he had to stop shortly after stepping out of the tomb passage.
It turns out that this was a very narrow skywalk, which is a stone platform suspended in mid-air.
Looking down from the stone platform, there is a wide, circular space.
It is surrounded by square basalt rocks, and there are huge guardian statues holding long swords.
At the very center of the space is an octagonal altar, upon which sits a massive stone coffin.
Four white jade coffins guard the four corners of the altar.
"Could this be the main tomb chamber of the King of Wannu?"
Huo Ling's tone carried a hint of disappointment, yet it also conveyed a sense of grandeur built up in the earlier moments.
But in the end, it ended up being rather petty.
"Whether it is or not, we'll find out by going down and seeing!"
Cheng Feng then retrieved the Unloading Ridge preparation supplies from the imaginary space.
Cheng Feng turned to the Xieling brothers behind him and said, "Let's use the Centipede Mountain Ladder to go down."
"Dumped"
They shouted a slogan in unison.
The members of the Unloading Ridge team quickly took out the components of the centipede ladder and soon assembled a long ladder long enough to reach the ground.
The ladder was hung on the platform of the Liantian Corridor, and then a disciple of the Xieling sect took the lead and climbed down the centipede ladder.
He quickly descended into the circular tomb chamber and gave a thumbs-up to the people above.
Then everyone climbed down the centipede ladder one by one.
"Chief, what do you think of these ladders?"
After everyone came down, Han Qing stepped forward, cupped his hands, and asked.
Cheng Feng activated his Ghost Eye and put the ladder away. They didn't have many people, and carrying too much stuff would slow down the team.
Seeing that Cheng Feng had put away the ladder, Han Qing retreated to the group of Xieling.
Cheng Feng took out a flashlight and went to the front of the eight-sided platform.
"Brothers, don't move the stone coffin above. Open all four white jade coffins below."
At Cheng Feng's command, the members of the Unloading Ridge Clan all obeyed.
They started opening the white jade coffins in pairs, while the rest of them stood on the altar with guns in hand.
They can provide timely support should any problems arise.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling stood on either side of Cheng Feng, and the three of them were ready to provide support at any time.
"Chief, the coffin is open!"
"I've opened it here too."
……
Soon, the four white jade coffins were opened one after another.
Cheng Feng and the other two then stepped forward and used flashlights to illuminate the inside of the coffin.
The coffin contained gold, silver and jewels, but no corpse.
The same applies to the remaining three coffins.
"Take everything out of the coffin."
At Cheng Feng's command, the members of the Unloading Ridge team got busy again.
Standing next to Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin asked curiously, "The things here all seem to be very ordinary gold and silver jewelry."
Judging by your standards, you shouldn't even consider it.
"You really do understand me. You'll find out why I did this in a moment."
Cheng Feng relapsed into his old habit and didn't directly state the reason.
Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were somewhat used to it; Cheng Feng always pulled this stunt.
With the nimble hands and feet of the Unloading Ridge team, the items in the four white jade coffins were quickly taken out.
Just then, the basalt on the right side suddenly began to tremble, and soon a secret passage appeared in the tomb chamber.
"Now you understand why I did this!"
Cheng Feng looked at the two women smugly, only to be met with a glare from them.
Cheng Feng, who had made a fool of himself, was not annoyed and casually put away the treasures that the Unloading Ridge group had taken out.
He then led the way into this secret passage.
Although Cheng Feng didn't care about these treasures anymore, they were still the fruits of the labor of the Unloading Ridge brothers.
It would be a waste of their effort and good intentions if we didn't take it.
The group arrived at the tomb passage, which was much more primitive than the previous tomb passage.
The downward stone steps were not very smooth, but they were sturdy enough that they were not broken or rotten.
The steps descended, becoming increasingly steep, and the temperature also grew warmer.
"Could this secret passage lead directly to the bottom of Changbai Mountain? Did King Wang Nu put his coffin on lava?"
Huo Ling wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
"This secret passage is quite long; it might really lead to the heart of Changbai Mountain."
Chen Wenjin, who was walking in front of Huo Ling, responded softly.
In the dimly lit secret passage, the group walked down for a full half hour before finally reaching the end of the passage.
"We're finally almost there! I thought it was going to lead straight to the magma layer!"
As Huo Ling spoke, Cheng Feng, who was walking ahead, had already emerged from the secret passage.
This is a spacious veranda, which is a platform that lies across the cliff.
At this moment, there was a three-legged bronze cauldron on the veranda, and nothing else.
The group then emerged from the secret passage and began to look around.
Here, you can't see the top or the bottom.
"There's no way out. Below us is a bottomless abyss. We don't have any flares, and we can't see how deep it is."
Chen Wenjin and Cheng Feng stood at the edge of the corridor and spoke softly.
"The drop is about 230 meters, which is not too high. You can use the centipede-shaped ladder to climb down."
Through the chains connecting the towering peaks below the cliff, Cheng Feng could roughly see the drop in elevation.
As he spoke, Cheng Feng turned around and took out all the components of the centipede-shaped mountain-hanging ladder from the corridor.
Without Cheng Feng giving any specific instructions, the members of the Unloading Ridge team began assembling the equipment on their own.
As one of the Xieling brothers firmly hooked the padlock onto the cliff face.
The remaining nine Xieling brothers worked together to push the rope ladder, which was taller than a person, down the cliff.
Soon, the lower part of the centipede-shaped mountain ladder disappeared into the darkness.
"The rope ladder is the perfect length. Let's rest here for an hour, have something to eat, and then set off again."
Having confirmed that the rope ladder led down, Cheng Feng didn't rush down.
There was still a tough battle ahead when they reached the Bronze Gate. Even if Cheng Feng could hold on, everyone else was starting to lose their strength.
"If we all go down together later, will this rope ladder be able to withstand the weight of more than a dozen of us?"
Sitting next to Cheng Feng, Huo Ling ate her dry rations while asking a question.
She was still somewhat worried; if the rope ladder malfunctioned, everyone would be doomed.
"Don't worry, this Centipede Mountain Ladder is a unique secret technique of the Unloading Ridge Sect."
The ladders have been improved by generations of the Unloading Ridge bandits; they can easily hold their own against not just a dozen people, but even dozens together.
The strength of the Xieling clan lies in its large numbers; all their unique equipment is designed with the quality of multiple users in mind.
After reassuring Huo Ling, Cheng Feng sat down to rest beside the large cauldron.
after an hour.
After a good rest, Cheng Feng moved around energetically, and without him having to tell them to get up, everyone else followed suit.
"I won't say anything more, everyone must be careful and cautious."
Don't panic no matter what happens, I'm here for you, understand?
"understand!"
The crowd responded in unison with high spirits.
Cheng Feng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"
As Cheng Feng gave the order, five members of the Unloading Ridge Brothers took the lead and climbed down the Centipede-shaped Mountain Ladder.
Next were Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin, and two others.
The last five Xieling brothers followed closely behind, with Cheng Feng in the middle of the group, able to keep an eye on those above and below.
As they climbed downwards, they soon witnessed an extremely terrifying scene.
