Time was like the sand in the hourglass on the ground, slowly falling bit by bit, silently passing by.
When people knew nothing about the future or the outside world, it took a lot of courage to take that step. For a while, Lu Chen sat quietly, staring at the hourglass without saying a word.
Atsu did not seem to be in a frenzy, or perhaps it was not fully aware of the danger of going out this time. It just lay on the ground next to Lu Chen, sticking close to him. However, there was a lot of food here, including its favorite dried meat. It could be seen that Atsu was different from usual.
It was quiet in the tree hole, as if it had been like this for a long time, and Lu Chen and the others seemed to be just a small splash in the long river of time. Under all the abnormalities, a small anomaly could not make a big splash.
Lu Chen raised his head and looked around the tree hole.
He was very familiar with this place. From the first time he found this place, he had been here countless times. This mysterious and ancient tree hole had given him a new life. It had supported him through all kinds of pain that he almost fell into hell, and helped him break free from the terrible curse at the last moment.
For so many years, this had been his last haven. When he was in the most painful, desperate, and sad times, only this tree hole would be his only shelter, his last place to escape.
For so many years, only Atsu could completely share this secret with him.
After leaving this place this time, would there be a chance to come back after leaving this place?
Lu Chen was not sure, but he was not unfamiliar with this feeling. He was not even afraid. Many years ago, he had experienced many tests of life and death.
He just looked at the tree hole and suddenly remembered the legend he had heard before. Then he looked at the empty tree hole and said to himself, "I heard that you have a few companions of the same origin. Yezi? Branches? I don't know when you guys will be together again. "
The tree hole was silent, as if it had no reaction to his words. However, in the past ten years, the tree hole had never reacted. Lu Chen naturally wouldn't treat this tree hole as a sentient being. He just casually said that, then closed his eyes and continued to be quiet.
Slowly, the sand in the hourglass was about to run out.
Time flew by. Atsu squinted his eyes, and Lu Chen leaned against the wall. Everything looked so quiet, as if time had stopped.
Then, Lu Chen suddenly opened his eyes.
Atsu seemed to have sensed something and looked up. Then, he saw Lu Chen silently stand up. His face was expressionless as he said in a flat tone, "Atsu, let's go."
…
A white light flashed in the air.
Like duckweed in a big river, like a glimmer between heaven and earth, like an ant in the world, so small and humble, quietly appeared in this world.
After the light passed, Lu Chen and Atsu suddenly appeared in the air. After a moment of pause, their bodies suddenly fell down.
It was really a flash of lightning!
The world seemed to be still spinning. There were mountains, rocks, wind, clouds, light, and darkness. There was also a strange boundary where light and shadow intertwined. It was like a turbulent wave, rushing from a certain direction.
Lu Chen's pupils suddenly dilated at that moment!
He suddenly let out a furious roar!
The world was spinning upside down, and everything was screaming crazily in his ears. However, he still stubbornly shook off all these terrifying phantoms. His eyes stared at all the terrifying phantoms for a moment. It was the most silent, most solid, and seemingly the farthest stone.
Stone wall!
That was the stone wall of the mountain!
He was roaring. Then, he stretched out his hands with all his might and desperately grabbed the stone wall. There was only a series of ear-piercing crashing sounds. The stone cracked, and blood flowed. His body was still sliding down. His hands couldn't grab anything, but he desperately grabbed every crack that had the slightest resistance. After sliding down seven or eight times, his right hand suddenly grabbed a stone that was firmly protruding out of the wall about half a foot.
"Hu!"
His body suddenly stopped. His whole body weight was supported by his right hand. At this moment, the chaotic and spinning world finally stopped in his eyes and returned to its original appearance.
There was a severe pain from his right hand, as if his flesh was torn apart. However, Lu Chen's reaction to this was only a slight frown. Even his expression didn't change much. He just hung alone in the air and gently took a breath.
The whole world seemed to slowly become clear at this moment.
The sky was bright.
There was light falling from the sky above the canyon. The deep night had indeed passed. The precipice path that he was originally staying on was no longer in front of him. After looking carefully, Lu Chen found that the path did not disappear. Instead, it appeared more than ten feet above his head.
In other words, he had fallen from that precipice path and fell more than ten feet in one breath.
Lu Chen subconsciously looked down. He saw that below his feet, the deep and dark place was like a ferocious mouth, as if waiting to swallow him.
Lu Chen shook his head. He stretched out his left hand and felt a gap on the stone wall that he could grab. After sharing the burden of his right hand, he let out a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Lu Chen suddenly heard a burst of barking coming from above.
"Woof, woof woof! Woof woof woof woof … "
Lu Chen's spirit was lifted. He looked up and saw a huge black dog's head poking out from the high precipice path. It looked around as if it was looking for something. It was Atsu.
After a while, Atsu saw Lu Chen hanging at the bottom of the cliff. It suddenly became spirited and barked at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen also laughed, then he really laughed. He scolded the black dog that was barking happily, then he smiled and said, "Stupid dog, I didn't expect you to be so good!"
…
No matter how anxious and anxious Atsu was, although Lu Chen seemed to be in a desperate and dangerous situation at the moment, he was still very calm. After his body climbed to the precipice and stood firmly, he began to try to climb up.
Since this mountain was originally called a precipice, it was naturally extremely steep and difficult to climb. However, probably after the earth-shattering monster battle last night, the earth shook and the mountain collapsed. Suddenly, there were countless large and small cracks on the precipice and abruptly cracked rocks, making it much easier to climb than before.
Just like this, Lu Chen slowly fumbled along the way, looking for a foothold and a place to hold on to. He climbed up bit by bit, and after half an hour, he actually climbed back to the precipice path.
When he let out a long breath and sat on the two to three feet wide precipice path, Atsu next to him ran over with a joyful cry. It used its head to rub against Lu Chen's body, looking very excited.
Lu Chen laughed and hugged Ah-Tu's neck. He also patted Ah-Tu's head lightly.
"It's not easy, I survived again this time." Lu Chen murmured.
Atsu raised its head and looked very happy. Just when it was about to bark at Lu Chen, its eyes suddenly flashed with a green light. It saw the precipice path behind Lu Chen more than twenty feet away.
That place was originally also a precipice. Suddenly, another arm stretched out from beneath the rock, and then tightly grabbed onto the edge of the small path.
