Broken Bridge
"Black monkeys …"
Luo Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although the Three-eyed Boy rarely interacted with them, Luo Zheng had heard him mention them a few times. These black monkeys should be the creatures of the Dark Realm guarding the Burning Crystal!
There was no doubt about the strength of these black monkeys to be able to injure the Three-eyed Boy to the brink of death.
What were they doing here? A bad feeling rose in Luo Zheng's heart.
"Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak …"
When these black monkeys appeared, the cries of the humanoid monkeys became louder and louder, and the atmosphere gradually became livelier.
Then, this team of monkeys slowly walked toward the hillside.
Luo Zheng lowered his body on the hillside and quietly retreated. Soon, he entered the range of the candlelight and went straight for the wooden house.
"Bang!"
Feng Ge was focused on boiling the liquid wax.
After boiling so many candles, Feng Ge's technique had become more practiced and experienced. She even knew what kind of heat could maximize the amount of liquid wax!
She suddenly heard a loud noise from the door. Seeing Luo Zheng rush in like the vanguard, she was a little surprised.
In her eyes, Luo Zheng was very calm.
"What's wrong?" Feng Ge asked indifferently.
The humanoid monkeys at the foot of the hill were extremely noisy, but their voices could not be transmitted through the darkness. Feng Ge naturally could not hear them.
Luo Zheng quickly walked in front of Feng Ge and handed a Fruit of Darkness to Feng Ge. "Eat it!"
Feng Ge stared at Luo Zheng and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"There's no time to explain. If we don't leave now, we'll die!" Luo Zheng replied simply.
Hearing Luo Zheng's serious tone, Feng Ge did not say anything else and swallowed the Fruit of Darkness.
The characteristics of these two fruits were very unique. The moment Feng Ge swallowed it, wisps of black clouds spread out from her purple soul. In the blink of an eye, these clouds filled her entire body.
"Go!"
Feng Ge was not ready yet. Luo Zheng grabbed her hand and rushed out.
"But those Burning Crystals …"
Although Feng Ge didn't like to boil wax, that was her personality. She liked to finish what she started.
But what time was it now? How could he have the time to care about those Scorching Crystals?
Luo Zheng pulled Feng Ge and rushed out of the wooden house like the wind!
Just as Luo Zheng and Feng Ge rushed out, those monkey-men and huge black monkeys also climbed up the hillside.
"Creak creak creak creak?"
"Creak!"
"Creak creak …"
The monkey-men didn't expect two people to rush out of the wooden house, and they quickly screamed.
"Sou!"
Seeing this, one of the black monkeys squeaked, then jumped up and went straight to Luo Zheng and Feng Ge.
Seeing the black shadow rushing into the candlelight, Feng Ge was also stunned and screamed, "What's that?"
Luo Zheng didn't have the time to answer Feng Ge's question.
He was already prepared. As he rushed out, the power hidden in his legs suddenly exploded!
"Bang!"
Under the huge recoil, a pit appeared in the open space in front of the wooden house. Luo Zheng was like an arrow that left the bow, shooting toward the wooden bridge. Of course, he also grabbed Feng Ge's hand tightly.
With only one step, Luo Zheng was already on the wooden bridge.
Because it was unexpected, neither the black monkeys nor the monkey-men were able to react.
The black monkey that was running towards Luo Zheng stared at Luo Zheng who was running away. It opened its black mouth, revealing a row of messy white teeth, and grinned ferociously. It made a throat-slitting gesture to the other black monkeys.
The other black monkeys received the order and immediately became excited.
"Creak creak creak creak creak …"
With a burst of excited screams, they also rushed onto the wooden bridge.
These black monkeys were extremely agile. They climbed the bridge at high speed, but they didn't expect Luo Zheng to be so fast …
As soon as Luo Zheng got on the wooden bridge, he pushed his strength to the limit.
Fifty zhang, one hundred zhang, three hundred zhang … In the blink of an eye, he was already far away. In the black monkeys' field of vision, he was only a small black dot. Under the dim candlelight, he was faintly discernible.
"Squeak squeak?"
"Squeak!"
These black monkeys were originally full of confidence, but seeing Luo Zheng's crazy running method, they were somewhat dumbfounded.
Seeing that they couldn't catch up, they discussed with each other for a while and actually returned to the end of the wooden bridge!
This wooden bridge was built by the Three-eyed Boy. Its purpose was to attract creatures from outside the Dark Domain from the Temple of Sky. The wooden bridge itself was built very stably and was reinforced with arrays.
With the monkey-men, the python, and even Luo Zheng's strength, it wasn't easy to destroy this wooden bridge. However, it was too easy for the black monkeys to destroy it.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Several black monkeys on the side of the hillside took turns to smash at the junction between the wooden bridge and the hillside.
After several smashes, cracks appeared on the edge of the hillside. As the cracks grew bigger and bigger, the wooden bridge began to shake constantly.
"Crack!"
The part of the wooden bridge that was fixed to the hillside finally broke and slid down toward the mountain stream below.
Luo Zheng didn't have the time to inquire about what was happening behind him. He was only focused on running, and his speed was actually getting faster and faster.
"Luo Zheng, Luo Zheng …"
Feng Ge called out from behind.
"Don't talk!" Luo Zheng said.
Feng Ge pursed her lips. She hated it when people reprimanded her without distinguishing right from wrong.
Looking at the bridge deck that was constantly collapsing behind her, Feng Ge chose to shut up …
The entire wooden bridge had no piers. It was like a thin line connecting the Temple of Sky and the hillside.
As the hillside collapsed, the entire bridge deck began to tilt downward rapidly.
After two breaths, Luo Zheng felt that the bridge deck in front of him had become an "uphill road". Just as he was wondering, the entire "uphill road" became steeper and steeper. In the blink of an eye, it had become 90 degrees!
Caught off guard, Luo Zheng and Feng Ge both fell straight toward the mountain stream.
As they were falling, Luo Zheng asked, "What's going on … Is the bridge broken?"
Feng Ge looked indifferent. "It was broken by them. I was just about to tell you."
"…"
Luo Zheng, who was falling continuously into the darkness, was suddenly speechless.
This mountain stream was unknown how deep it was. Falling straight down from the bridge deck, Luo Zheng was also carefully observing.
After swallowing the Fruit of Darkness, he and Feng Ge had adapted to the Dark Domain. They could vaguely make out the outline of the scenery below.
After about ten breaths, Luo Zheng suddenly withdrew his legs and gently pulled Feng Ge, who was behind him, into his arms. His whole body fell heavily into the bushes.
"Boom!"
Falling from such a height, Luo Zheng's body was actually fine.
However, the Yang Soul was much weaker than the physical body. Luo Zheng fell with Feng Ge as if he was holding a piece of porcelain. Under the huge impact, if he was slightly careless, Feng Ge would probably die.
"Are you okay?" Luo Zheng asked with concern.
"I'm fine."
