Damn, they couldn't fly in such a deep pit. Wouldn't it be tiring to climb down bare-handed? Even if a martial artist had a strong physique, if they couldn't use their true essence, then they wouldn't even have 10% of their original strength. On the contrary, the demonic beasts had strong bodies and were much stronger than the human martial artists in such an environment.
After entering the dried up lake, the situation became even worse. There were strange small whirlwinds inside. The wind blew everywhere without any pattern, and when it hit the stone walls, it was like a cutting machine. Since it could cut a hole in the sturdy stone walls, it was not difficult to see it clearly. Comparatively speaking, the martial artists were better off because they were wearing high-grade armor. As long as their fingers and heads weren't cut, they wouldn't be in much danger.
Du Feng was very shrewd. In order to ensure his own safety, Du Feng was very smart. In order to ensure their own safety, they first put on the alligator leather armor and the leather headgear. Even the leather gloves were no exception. They were all wrapped tightly. Since it was a spirit forbidden area, it meant that they couldn't use true essence. Without true essence, they couldn't open their storage rings. Therefore, everyone took out the things they needed and carried them on their backs.
As a young miss, Tang Jiaojiao definitely wouldn't carry too many things on her back. She only had a high-grade Emperor Sword on her back and a leather whip on her waist. As one of the bodyguards, Sun Baikang had a sword on his waist. When he was injured, he also had a metal hook to hook into the cracks between the rocks to make it easier to climb. He was always below Tang Jiaojiao. To put it bluntly, he was used as a foothold. If Tang Jiaojiao missed, Sun Baikang would be responsible for catching her.
Otherwise, if she fell in such a deep pit without true essence, she would definitely fall into a meat patty. The leather whip on Tang Jiaojiao's waist was to prevent her from falling. If she missed, she could throw the whip and wrap it around one of the bodyguards, using them as her safety pins. The leather whips on Sun Baikang and Liu Qing's waists were used to save the young miss and her companions.
Only Du Feng was special. He didn't have a whip on his waist, but a thin set of golden silk with a few retractable iron claws. Although the whip was convenient, its length was limited. In a situation where true essence couldn't be used, the length of the whip couldn't be adjusted. After wrapping it around the waist a few times, it would be a few times longer.
Du Feng's Golden Silk was different. Because it was very thin, it could be wound in many loops. Not only could it be wrapped around the waist, but it could also be wrapped around the forearm. Furthermore, the elasticity of the silk was especially great. Even with the Golden Silk wrapped around his arms, it did not affect his movements at all.
"You're really strange. You think you can save me with this thing?"
Tang Jiaojiao looked at the golden silk wrapped around Du Feng's waist and arms and felt that he was very strange. Although the Golden Silk was tough and easy to use, how could he throw it when he couldn't use his True Essence? Besides, that thing was so thin that it would be very painful if it was just a single root. Rather than being used to save people, it would be better to say that it was used to harm people. Being strangled by this thing would definitely cause one's skin to split open.
"I hope I won't need it."
Du Feng smiled and did not answer the question directly. He didn't like falling during rock climbing either. It wouldn't look good if any of them died, especially this Miss Tang. If anything happened to her, no one would be able to go back alive.
Climbing to the peak was very difficult, but the process of falling from a high place to the bottom of the pit was even more painful. Because the way to exert force was just the opposite, one had to keep looking down for fear of stepping on the wrong place. Looking at the pitch-black pit for a long time would make people dizzy and lose control of their bodies.
"Woo …"
A small whirlwind swept up from the bottom of the pit, and wherever it passed, stone chips flew everywhere. Sure enough, the destructive power of this thing was just as the legend said. The stone wall was cut into many horizontal gaps. It looked really scary, but at the same time, it was convenient for warriors to use for rock climbing. If there were no horizontal gaps, there would be no place for fingers to dig.
"Zlazla …"
Sun Baikang, who was walking in the front, was the first to suffer. His position was the lowest, and he was the closest to the small whirlwind. The whirlwind hit him right in the waist. With a burst of sizzling sound, sparks quickly appeared on his body.
Fortunately, the quality of the armor he wore was good, and it was not cut through by the small whirlwind. Unfortunately, the small whirlwind caught the whip wrapped around his waist. He was fine, but the whip was cut into several pieces, and basically could not be used.
Although this person had a bad temper, and his attitude towards Du Feng was not very good, he was really loyal to Tang Jiaojiao, or rather, loyal to the Armed Police Pavilion Master. In short, in order to protect Miss Tang, he was really going all out. He actually leaned back and used his back to push the small whirlwind out.
This action of his was a huge test of the hardness of the armor and his own strength. If it was not done well, he might be cut in half by the small whirlwind, or he might not be able to hold on to the stone wall and fall down.
Sun Baikang's efforts were still effective. After the small whirlwind cut his back for a while, its power began to gradually weaken. It slightly deviated and floated up from the stone wall, so that it would not catch Tang Jiaojiao who was following closely.
What a man. Although Sun Baikang had previously worked with Liu Qing to frame him, seeing his selfless act to save others, Du Feng still had some admiration. Although Tang Jiaojiao's life and death were related to the success of everyone's mission. But in the face of death, how to choose was an entirely different matter.
After all, if one was cut in half by the small whirlwind, they would die immediately, but if they were trapped in the Tianhu Ancient Ruins, they could still live for a long time. The reason why Sun Baikang used his body to resist the small whirlwind, in addition to completing the mission, was indeed because he had the courage to sacrifice himself.
Du Feng looked at Liu Qing who was in charge of the rear. He walked at the back, and his position was also the highest. Under normal circumstances, the small whirlwind was blocked by the people in front, and the people behind were basically in no danger. Of course, things were not absolute. Sometimes the small whirlwind would also pass the people in front and directly cut the martial artists hiding behind.
"Someone is coming, let's go!"
Just as he thought of this, he heard Liu Qing shout from above. This was because he found that other martial artists had come to the side of the big pit, probably also wanted to go to the ancient ruins below.
Hearing this, the four people, including Du Feng, quickly sped down. Because at this time, they were within the range of the Tianhu Spirit Restriction, but the people above were not restricted. If they had the intention to frame them and attack down, the four of them might not be able to keep their lives.
