Celestial Masters Alliance

Finally we arrived at the locust tree, and they visited around the tree. I took out the rope loop and put it around my neck, took off my shoes and started climbing the tree. When Zhao Shuang saw my move, he came over and looked at me with contempt and said, "Are you okay?"

I was a little angry and yelled at him: "Of course, I've climbed over it. When I put down the rope to pull the luggage, I will help you come up." After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Shuang's response, I headed straight to the platform.

The placement of luggage went very smoothly. When I saw Huang Xiao and Zhao Shuang climbing the tree quickly with their hands outstretched, I was a little stunned. Their speed should be more than twice as fast as mine. Damn it, are they all Spider-Man?

I felt a little aggrieved and felt that I lacked exercise and was a little embarrassed. Before they could take a breath, I took out the jade lock and crawled towards the center of the platform. The vines fled in all directions like they were resurrected. Zhao Shuang and Huang Xiao both sighed in surprise. I was a little proud, although this magical sight had nothing to do with me. I showed them the scene after taking off the jade lock in a showy way. When I saw Zhao Shuang staring at me with the corner of his mouth twitching, I realized how unnecessary this action was.

The three of us lay down next to the tree hole and used the wolf-eye flashlight to shine into the hole. Such a strong light was still impenetrable in the thick fog in the tree hole. I was a little uneasy: "I still can't see what's underneath, so rashly." There is no safety guarantee going down there." I glanced at the two of them.

Zhao Shuang was thoughtful, but did not answer. He glanced at Huang Xiao from the corner of his eye from time to time. Huang Xiao seemed very excited and didn't pay attention to Zhao Shuang. He shouted to me in a low voice: "Whatever, let's go down and take a look first. If you two don't dare to go down, then let me go down first."

I shook my head slightly: "Wait a minute! Let me explore again!"

I took out the windproof stove, tied a string around the tab, then opened it and lowered it down the tree hole. Zhao Shuang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and helped me arrange it so that I could put down the rope smoothly.

"Okay! The equipment is so complete!" Huang Xiao slapped me, causing the rope in my hand to almost fall off.

"You are sick! The rope almost fell off!" I yelled. Huang Xiao patted his chest and stepped aside. "It would be better if you could put a living animal down there. Not only can you measure the air quality, but you can also know if there are any ferocious beasts down there."

Zhao Shuang immediately looked at me with contempt: "Didn't you say that this tree trunk is a big flute? The wind pours in from above and gushes out from the roots of the tree. Since it is ventilated, there will be no problem with the air quality."

"You haven't spoken for a long time. I thought you had become mute! No matter what, you have to measure the depth of the bottom of the cave!" I immediately retorted to him. Huang Xiao nodded repeatedly on the side.

After the rope dropped for more than thirty meters, I felt like I had landed, which was a bit shallower than I expected. I told my two companions the news while taking back the wind-proof stove. "There is ham sausage in the bag, pick one out and try fishing again!" I said to Zhao Shuang while dismantling the windproof stove.

"Don't be so careful!" Huang Xiao asked in a low voice.

"For safety's sake, it's better to be careful!" I started to arrange the rope, and Zhao Shuang cooperated very well and opened a piece of ham and tied it to the rope for me.

Huang Xiao thought I was doing something unnecessary and kept shaking her head. I ignored him, tied the ham fishing rope to the vine, took out a bandage from my backpack, and handed a roll to him. Huang Xiao was surprised, tilted his head and asked what the bandage was for.

Seeing his careless appearance, I had to patiently explain to him: "Use this to tie up the cuffs and trouser legs to prevent bugs from getting into the clothes!"

Huang Xiao waved her hand and refused: "No need to do it, I don't need it!"

I was too lazy to be serious with him, so I raised my hand and threw the bandage to Zhao Shuang. He was obedient, tied the bandage quickly, and even helped me. We put on cloth gloves before picking up the ham sausage and inspecting it. The ham sausage was as intact as when we put it down. It seemed that there were no carnivores waiting for us under the tree hole, or it was only a small area of ​​safety.

Huang Xiao couldn't stand my caution, so she grabbed the rope and shouted, "Let me get off!"

"Just say hello when you pick up the phone, and we'll pull you up right away!" I quickly explained. Zhao Shuang was a little surprised and stared at me. I shrugged: "Why don't we just pick up a mobile phone? There's no need for all three of us to go out and have a walk!"

Huang Xiao curled his lips and said with a strange smile: "Young Master, don't be afraid!"

I choked immediately and held the rope to tie it around my waist. Zhao Shuang grabbed me and whispered: "Wait!"

Huang Xiao pulled the rope back and said jokingly: "The rope hasn't been lowered yet! Just tie it around your waist. Do you want us to hang you down like a windproof stove?"

When I bought the rope, I forgot to ask the store how to use it. I have no rock climbing experience, so I naturally didn’t know how to use it. "You know how to use it, why don't you get it and take a look?" I was a little unconvinced. How much rock climbing experience can you, a history teacher, have? At least I have read a few tomb robbing books, so I have a rough idea of ​​what to do.

Thinking of this, I was suddenly stunned. In terms of climbing experience, Zhao Shuang should be the most qualified to speak. What happened to these idiots today? Are they pretending to be dumb and addicted? I glanced at Zhao Shuang. He was packing his backpack silently, as if he intended to let Huang Xiao go down to the tree hole first.

Huang Xiao very skillfully put one end of the rope into the hole first, and then put it about halfway. Wrap the other end around a solid and thick tree pole, and then lower the other half. I bought a 100-meter climbing rope. The rope is thin and light. According to the owner of the outdoor store, this rope can bear at least 150 kilograms.

"After a while, grab half of the rope and descend. If the rope is not long enough, let go of half of it. If it is still not long enough, you can grab the rope and take the other half back. This method can be repeated indefinitely to absolutely avoid falling into the bottomless pit. Possibility. Of course, the premise is that there must be a strong place under the hole where the rope can be wound." Huang Xiao explained to me seriously while tying a rope around his waist.

I nodded and praised his smart approach, but in fact I didn't understand what he was saying at all. I guess he is pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, because we have just tested that the depth of the hole is more than thirty meters. If you put half the rope down for fifty meters, you will definitely not fall to death. I glanced at Zhao Shuang. He was staring at Huang Xiao thoughtfully. He had been in a state of dissociation today and didn't know what he was thinking.

"I'll get off first. I'll call you if I have nothing to do!" Huang Xiao flashed the emergency light he brought, gestured OK to me, and quickly sank into the tree hole.

I watched the light spots emitted by the emergency lights gradually being swallowed up by the black fog. I felt uneasy and shouted into the tree hole: "Huang Xiao! Huang Xiao!"

After a while, he responded: "It's okay..." He shouted four words, but the echo in the tree hole was too loud, and the following words could not be heard clearly.

"Pick up the phone, let's go quickly!" I shouted into the cave again, but this time there was no response from Huang Xiao.

"Huang Xiao! Huang Xiao!" I turned on the wolf-eye flashlight and shook it into the cave. There was still no response for five minutes.

Zhao Shuang patted my shoulder and shook his head. I asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Has something happened to him?"

"I guess he went down into this tree hole!" Zhao Shuang said firmly.

"Why do you say that?" I was confused by him.

He shook his head, unwilling to explain. He pulled the rope, tied it around his waist and said, "Let me go down and have a look! Can you get down?"

I grabbed Zhao Shuang's shoulders: "No! It's very weird here! Let's call the police!"
