At this moment, he forgot about the wound on his leg. Instead, he raised his head and stared at the increasingly smaller hole in front of him...
It was a bottomless black hole with a diameter of more than 3 m. It was one of the deep holes left behind by the Gold-Eating Boa in the Wild Wolf Valley. This hole was Zhang Tie's only hope to survive.
Being chased by the seven wolves, Zhang Tie could only hope to survive on two points. First, he could jump into the hole before the wolves caught up with him. He barely managed to do this. Within more than 20 seconds, he had exerted all of his strength and finally reached the edge of the hole before the wolves caught up with him. Although he was injured, he finally rolled into the hole. Second, he could only rely on his luck. If this hole was like a f * cking intestine and was perpendicular to the ground, as long as the vertical height was more than 30 m, he would fall to his death the moment he landed. However, even if he fell to the ground, it would be better than becoming the sh * t of the wild wolves.
Zhang Tie was betting his life. First, he was betting that the Gold-Eating Boas would not dig a hole for him like digging a well. Snakes' caves should be curved. As long as the slope in the middle of the hole was less than 90 degrees, he would have a chance to survive. Second, he was betting that the wolves would not jump into the hole together with him.
Second, he was betting that Zhang Tie would win. When the wolves above saw Zhang Tie rolling into the hole with a wolf, they would only wander around the entrance of the hole for a while. When Zhang Tie was in the black hole, he just lingered at the mouth of the hole for a short while; as expected, he didn't jump down. Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Tie's fate was determined by the first turning point of this deep hole — — the distance where he could fall to his death.
Zhang Tie fell down together with the wolf at an extremely fast speed. In a few seconds, he had stabbed the wolf four times. By then, it had already become completely dark inside the hole, and the light from the entrance could no longer shine in.
One man and one wolf continued to fall freely inside the hole...
Even Zhang Tie didn't know why, the closer he was to death, the calmer his mind would be. Although it was his own life and death, Zhang Tie was also afraid of death. However, at this moment, Zhang Tie felt that his mind was completely like a cold and precise machine. It was emotionless and was only calculating and outputting some values … Instead of thinking about life and death, his mind was thinking about right and wrong …
At this moment, when Zhang Tie looked at the entrance of the hole above him, he immediately judged that the distance between him and the entrance of the hole was just over 10 m, less than 15 m. This distance meant that he had been falling for more than one second, but it was less than two seconds. At the same time, a set of displacement ratio formula that he had learned at school appeared in his mind — 2n minus 1 — the first second was 5 m, the second second was 15 m, the third was 25 m, and the fourth was 35 m. If it was more than four seconds, there would be no need to calculate it. Even if there were bends or slopes lower than 90 degrees to cushion his fall, as his bones were not as hard as stones, he would be severely injured or killed the moment he touched the ground or the surrounding holes.
Would he be the first guy to die in this survival training? 'I'm still a virgin, f * ck!'
As this thought flashed across his mind, Zhang Tie, who was in free fall, sandwiched the wild wolf under his body with his two feet as a buffer. Finally, he tightly grasped the pickaxe with both hands...
Zhang Tie's fate would be decided in the next three seconds. For some people, these three seconds were very fast; however, for Zhang Tie, when he was highly concentrated, these three seconds felt like 30 seconds.
As it turned out, God didn't abandon Zhang Tie. When Zhang Tie fell from the third to the fourth second, precisely when the third second had passed, the life-saving curve finally arrived. The 90-degree black hole from the mouth of the cave to where Zhang Tie was, suddenly slowed down, and the slope became 70-80 degrees. Of course, Zhang Tie didn't measure it. Falling in the darkness, Zhang Tie felt that his wild wolf had brushed against something. Instinctively, he swung his pickaxe out, digging into the rocks in the pit. The sparks from the friction between the pickaxe and the rocks instantly illuminated Zhang Tie's resolute face that was full of desire for survival. Feeling the pain from his shoulders and hands being almost torn off, Zhang Tie's rapidly falling speed suddenly slowed down. He then felt his legs hitting the wall of the cave, causing his body to tremble all over. The momentum of the fall caused Zhang Tie to instantly turn into a ball of flesh rolling against the steep wall. In just a few seconds, he had rolled 360 degrees. Zhang Tie gritted his teeth. Although he couldn't see anything, he could only rely on his instinct. When he felt that the pickaxe in his hands was loosened, he swung it towards the direction where his body could touch the wall of the cave. Loosening — — swinging — — swinging — — swinging. Amidst the sparks, Zhang Tie tried his best to slow down his falling speed as much as possible...
Zhang Tie didn't know how long he had swung his pickaxe in the dark and how many times he had rolled in the dark. Finally, with a huge shock, Zhang Tie's consciousness completely fell into darkness.
When Zhang Tie fell into a coma, the news that a black-haired mining student had been attacked and killed by seven wild wolves 3.5 km away from Wild Wolf Castle immediately caused a commotion among many people.
… …
The news was first brought back to Wild Wolf Castle by the group of students who had witnessed Zhang Tie's "heroic" movements in the last few seconds. Afterwards, the entire Wild Wolf Castle was shocked.
… …
"I heard that it was a boy who was bitten to death by the wolves this time..."
"Yes, but I heard that the boy was very brave. Before dying, he killed three wolves by himself!"
"Where are his partners? Where's his survival training team? How could such a brave boy face those wild beasts alone?"
"He didn't form a team. I heard that he was a black-haired miner."
"What a pity..."
In the inner castle of Wild Wolf Castle, two girls were chatting as they passed by a room occupied by many girls. Neither of them noticed that when one of them mentioned that the boy was a "black-haired miner" who had been killed by the wolves, a girl who was quietly eating her rations on the floor in the most inconspicuous corner of the room suddenly became stiff. That piece of rations then fell from her hand, followed by her pearl-like tears. Lowering her head, the girl tightly hugged her knees and shrunk her body to the minimum. Finally, she completely hid in the shadow of the corner of the room.
"Pandora, can you stop scaring people by hiding in the corner all day? If you like the corner, you might as well move your bedding further away from us, or you might as well not live here. That way, we won't have to stay with you, a woman who always brings misfortune to others …"
"Yeah, why are we so unlucky this time? Why did the teacher assign us to stay together with this Bane? I was almost bitten by a venomous snake when I went out to look for wild vegetables these past two days … "Two girls walked into the room. When they saw the figure in the shadow in the corner of the room, they unceremoniously and sharply criticized him. They didn't seem to care what kind of harm their criticism would bring to others.
Hearing their criticism, Pandora didn't say anything. Instead, she just stretched out her hand from the shadow, picked up the rations which were stained with her tears, and started to eat them silently...
… …
The other members of the Hit-Plane Brotherhood didn't find that Zhang Tie was back until supper time. After waiting for a long time, they still didn't see any trace of Zhang Tie. Therefore, they all felt that something was wrong. After leaving two people to stay in the base, Barley, Leit, Doug, and Bagdad set off from the tree house. Doug carried the terrifying crossbow on his shoulder, and under Leit's suggestion, they lit torches and walked along the path that Zhang Tie usually took to dig in the mines. When they were only a few hundred meters away from the grassland where Zhang Tie had encountered the seven wolves, the four of them saw the flickering flames in front of them. It seemed that many people were gathering there with torches in their hands. After exchanging glances with each other, Barley and the other three hurriedly ran over and stopped a student attending the survival training outside the crowd, asking him what was going on and why so many people were gathering there even though it was already dark.
"Didn't you come here because you heard the news?" the boy asked Barley curiously.
"What news?"
"In the evening, a student attending the survival training was ambushed and killed by seven wild wolves. That guy was also very powerful. I heard that he had killed three wolves before he died …"
Hearing this news, Barley and the other three's faces turned pale. Thinking that Zhang Tie might not be able to kill three wolves, Barley asked with a trembling voice, "Do you know the name of that miner?"
"I heard that he was a Chinese student in the castle. His name seems to be Zhang Tie!"
"Bighead …" Doug howled like a wolf as he rushed towards the place with the most torches in the crowd. In his eyes, Zhang Tie's corpse must have been too horrible to look at.
When the four of them rushed to the innermost part of the crowd, they became dumbfounded. The scene of the accident was protected by a group of on-duty students wearing red armbands and holding torches. Commoners could not enter at all. On the ground in the innermost part of the encirclement, besides a terrifying black hole, there were only two dead wild wolves. The teachers were discussing something over there, but Zhang Tie was nowhere to be seen.
"Zhang Tie, where's Zhang Tie? He's our brother, we want to see him …" Barley shouted …
"Stop shouting. I heard that Zhang Tie fell into the hole together with a wolf. Captain Kerlin and the teachers are discussing whether they should go down there to find him or not …" a student who was responsible for maintaining the order and protecting the scene reminded them.
Big Head fell into the hole. Looking at that terrifying black hole, Barley, Doug and the others' eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope …
