The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 400 It’s too scary down there

The delicious canned meat, clean mineral water, and compressed biscuits that could fill their stomachs, a few people gathered around the fire and ate happily like thieves.

Everyone filled their stomachs, threw the remaining packaging bags into the fire, and lay on the ground. Shen Wen said in a good mood: "Remember, we have to keep this a secret. As long as we keep it a secret, we will be able to eat well every meal during our stay here, understand?"

Ji Ziyin touched his belly and smiled, "I'm finally alive. I haven't felt like a human for a long time. I've been here for so many days, going hungry for three meals a day and eating tree roots and wild fruits for two meals a day. I almost forgot how it felt to be a human before."

Chu Yanqiu looked at the sky and remained silent from beginning to end.

It seems that it was not a beautiful dream in that time and space. Looking back on what he said that he wanted to find a soulmate who was extraordinary, he really met one. How great!

The problem of food and drink was solved, and the next day Chu Yanqiu and Ji Ziyan ran to find materials with full confidence.

At night, I looked at a few short hemp ropes, a few vines, and the broken weapons that were discarded by my predecessors.

Before Shen Wen could laugh at him, Ji Ziyin said quickly, "Although there aren't many things, we have a lot of people. I believe others can find something too. When the time comes, we can all gather together and connect the short hemp ropes into long hemp ropes and we can use them."

Chu Yanqiu said at the side: "Brother is right."

Shen Wen had no choice but to shut up and let him be.

Sure enough, not long after, the burly man came to them to twist hemp rope. Ji Ziyin turned around and said to Shen Wen and Chu Yanqiu, "You two go to sleep, I can go by myself."

Chu Yanqiu said he wanted to help, but Shen Wen grabbed him and said, "We can't do this, let them do it."

Chu Yanqiu had no choice but to watch his good brother walk away with a few short hemp ropes.

After he left, Shen Wen said to Chu Yanqiu, "Do you know how deep the tiankeng is? How could they have gone down into the tiankeng with all the stuff they were looking for? I'm afraid they came up after only going down ten meters or so."

Chu Yanqiu looked at Shen Wen, blinked and said, "You? Did you still get the rope in that space?"

Shen Wen said: "No."

Seeing Chu Yanqiu’s disappointed face, he continued, “But there will be that tomorrow.”

Chu Yanqiu asked: "What?"

Shen Wen said: "Do you remember the one where the two of us flew up into the sky?"

Chu Yanqiu touched his head and said, "Fly... a plane?"

Shen Wen clapped his hands and praised, "That's right! My young master is really smart."

Then he lay back easily, but his hands were still stretched out, and he pulled Chu Yanqiu to his side, looking at the dark night sky, humming a little tune and feeling extremely good.

Chu Yanqiu listened to the unruly yet relaxed appearance of the people around him, and suddenly realized that this was what people called a happy couple. It turned out that the happiness he was pursuing was this moment.

After Shen Wen hummed a song, he fell silent and gradually fell asleep.

Chu Yanqiu turned his head and looked at his beloved's sleeping face in the firelight, then put his hands on him, hugged him in his arms, and fell asleep on his neck.

Before dawn the next day, Shen Wen was already full of energy. He saw Chu Yanqiu beside him, but no sign of Ji Ziyin. He muttered, "So hard-working? Twisting hemp rope all night? Doing business?"

As soon as he finished muttering, Chu Yanqiu woke up and got up from the ground. He found that his elder brother was not there. He asked, "Brother didn't come back last night?"

Shen Wen handed the opened compressed biscuits to Chu Yanqiu and said, "Brother, is it so difficult for them to make a hemp rope? Do they need to rub it all night to make it?"

The two were silent for a while, and Shen Wen suddenly said, "No, they didn't go down the tiankeng in the dark, did they?"

Chu Yanqiu immediately got up from the ground and said, "I'll go take a look."

Chu Yanqiu moved quickly. He leaped onto a huge rock next to him and turned back to say to Shen Wen, "Don't run around. I'll go find them."

After he finished speaking, he flew away. Shen Wen was staring at the boulder in a daze. After thinking about it, he also left the place and immediately went to the edge of the sinkhole.

When Shen Wen arrived at the edge of the tiankeng, he saw a few people preparing to go down the tiankeng. He called them from behind and said breathlessly, "I have something to say later."

Everyone turned around to look at him and said, "It's General Ji's little brother! Why did you run out? Go back quickly. We will all go downstairs and come back up soon."

Shen Wen looked at the hemp rope they had twisted on the ground. It was a quite large bundle with some cloth mixed in the middle. It was obvious that they had torn clothes into strips and twisted them into the hemp rope. There were also some strong vines and so on.

Shen Wen waved his hand and said, "You can't go down. If you lose the rope halfway, you will fall to death."

At this time, Ji Ziyin came out of the crowd, patted Shen Wen on the shoulder, and said to Shen Wen: "This hemp rope is useless. Fortunately, everyone is quite skilled. When we get down to the middle, everyone has daggers, long swords, etc. We are all good at Qinggong. Don't worry, we will be back in a few days."

At this time, Chu Yanqiu came running behind Shen Wen. He also came behind Shen Wen, patted Shen Wen on the shoulder and said, "Although this tiankeng is bottomless, they have experience. People like us have also done it before when we climbed down the mountain with bare hands. You don't have to worry."

Shen Wen turned around and looked at Chu Yanqiu in disbelief. He pointed at the tiankeng and said, "You mean such a high tiankeng? You...can climb it with your bare hands?"

Without waiting for Chu Yanqiu to persuade him again, he stood at the edge of the tiankeng, and suddenly a few incendiary bombs appeared in his hand, and he threw them into the pit. The incendiary bombs instantly illuminated the tiankeng, and fell down slowly until the distance was far away, and the incendiary bombs became as small as a tiny firefly.

Everyone was attracted by the strange incendiary bomb. They didn't know what kind of magical thing it was that could illuminate the deep pit so clearly. Everyone was amazed.

Looking at Shen Wen standing on the edge of the cliff, his eyes were cold as he looked at the little bit of fire, and suddenly he felt an ominous premonition.

His mind was full of questions, and he couldn't help but quickly dispatch a large drone. Looking at the large drone flying quickly in front of him, he felt that it was not safe enough, so he dispatched a few disaster relief lighting drones.

In an instant, the entire sky was as dazzling as if there were several more suns. Everyone couldn't help but want to take a closer look at the drone, but the strong light made it impossible to open their eyes. Everyone was amazed again.

Chu Yanqiu felt uneasy because of his series of magic tricks, as if the treasure hidden deep inside was being coveted by someone. He couldn't help but pull at the corner of Shen Wen's clothes.

Shen Wen reached back and grabbed Chu Yanqiu's hand. His warm little hand held him tightly, making the man behind him feel at ease instantly.

At Shen Wen's command, the drone fleet immediately flew towards the tiankeng.

Watching the drones fly farther and farther away until they were out of sight, Shen Wen turned around and said to everyone, "Everyone wait a moment, maybe you won't have to take the risk to find out what's going on down there."

Ji Ziyan stood in the crowd, as if he was still in a dream. The burly man next to him patted him on the shoulder and praised Shen Wen. Only then did he really believe it. He met Chu Yanqiu's eyes, his eyes full of questions.

Everyone sat by the tiankeng and waited for an hour, then a drone flew up from the bottom of the tiankeng and transmitted information to Shen Wen. The invisible screen in Shen Wen's brain immediately displayed the terrain of the tiankeng. The more Shen Wen looked, the more frightened he became, and his expression became more and more serious.

Everyone was quietly waiting for Shen Wen's next result, hoping that there would be a way out under the sinkhole, and longing to escape from this Xunli Palace. But before Shen Wen could give everyone an answer, the originally quiet sky above their heads was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder. The lightning that almost spanned the entire sky flashed more and more like an infinite loop, emitting fierce sparks, giving people a feeling that it was getting closer and closer.

It was not until a loud thunderclap struck the crowd, instantly electrocuting and burning several people that everyone came to their senses and began to flee from the lightning in panic like tiny ants.

Chu Yanqiu grabbed Shen Wen's hand and ran towards the rocky forest. After running a few steps, he remembered his elder brother. He turned around to look at the crowd of people running madly, but he couldn't see Ji Ziyan for a while.

Shen Wen said worriedly: "We have to find Big Brother. I have a feeling that our lives will be in danger if he leaves us."

The two men decisively ran towards the crowd, looking for their eldest brother one by one.

At this time, a voice in the crowd said: "It's bad, many people were blown into the tiankeng by the thunder in the sky. Everyone should not get too close to the tiankeng, and must pay attention to the direction."

Shen Wen immediately became anxious when he heard this. He pulled Chu Yanqiu to the edge of the tiankeng, and sure enough, the thunders with flashing flames exploded around them.

Chu Yanqiu's ears were extremely sensitive. He suddenly stopped and said, "There is a sound in this sinkhole."

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, the sky was very dark and no one was in sight.

Shen Wen held a high spotlight in his hand and looked towards the cliff wall. As expected, he saw two people holding onto the cliff wall and calling for help from the people above.

Chu Yanqiu exclaimed when he saw it: "It's Big Brother!"

Chu Yanqiu looked back and looked around, and saw the hemp rope. He picked it up and tied it around his waist, then let the rope down so that his elder brother could grab the rope and climb up.

However, such a simple action was extremely difficult to perform. The thunder and lightning in the sky seemed to have eyes and kept striking Chu Yanqiu and Shen Wen. They had to avoid the thunder and lightning while rushing to rescue Ji Ziyan and another person.

Just as Ji Ziyan grabbed the hemp rope and was about to climb up, a well-aimed thunderclap accurately cut the hemp rope. Then, a steady stream of lightning came up along the hemp rope, shocking Chu Yanqiu stiff. Shen Wen, who saw all this, grabbed Chu Yanqiu without thinking.

Even so, the thunder did not show any mercy.

Another thunder exploded behind them, blowing two people up and causing them to fall straight into the sinkhole.

Ji Ziyan, whose rope was cut, also fell down.

In the cemetery as deep as the vast universe, three people like tiny dots are falling down little by little as time goes by.

Chu Yanqiu slowly regained consciousness, put his arms around Shen Wen's waist and slowly tightened his grip.

At this time, he heard Shen Wen say in his ear: "We are about to die. I didn't expect to die like this. I hope my wish will come true and I will really become a dead person instead of a terrible blood symbol."
