Chapter 741 Deep in the mountains, dangerous bridge crossing

In the Cloud Beast Mountain Range, Ye Chen and Xiaoxue were groping forward.

Fortunately, they had inquired about some information at the inn in advance. Otherwise, he would really be like a headless fly, wandering around in the Yun Beast Mountain Range. Otherwise, how many people would they want to find in the huge Yun Beast Mountain Range? Straining a rare spiritual grass is really not a simple matter.

This difficulty is almost as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Fortunately, they were walking on the secret path of the Cloud Beast Mountain Range and did not encounter any fierce spiritual beasts along the way. Even if they occasionally encountered some spiritual beasts, they were almost weak and pitiful.

This secret passage is not a passage built by anyone, but a road that some mercenary groups like to walk. Because it is close to an area that is extremely disgusted by certain spiritual beasts, it is much less dangerous. Today, these roads are also well known to people. , so it is called the secret passage.

The spiritual beasts that can survive on this secret passage are all weak and pitiful. Even if they are killed, they will not get any beast elixir, so no one pays attention to them anymore.

Although Ye Chen knew that taking such a secret path would be a waste of time for them who wanted to enter the depths of the Spiritual Beast Mountain Range, he had no choice but to protect Xiaoxue beside him, so he had no other choice.

Although a small number of the people from the mercenary group they met along the way were kind to them and would give them some food and water, this was mostly because they didn't have anything valuable on them, not even salvage. There are no animal elixirs, otherwise, it is really possible for the people of these mercenary groups to take advantage of their wealth.

"How far are we from the sea of ​​thousands of flowers?"

Ye Chen looked at the long road and couldn't help but sigh. When he could drive his spiritual energy to fly in the air, this short distance was just a matter of effort, but now he had to walk it step by step. It was really hard. There is some waste of people and money.

"Brother Ye, according to what is described on this map, we should be in the middle of the Yunshou Mountains now. If we want to enter the deep layers, we need to cross a huge ravine. The places after that are not marked on the map, but those ten thousand Since the sea of ​​flowers is so huge, we should be able to see it soon."

Xiaoxue on the side held the map and studied it for a long time. Since his physical fitness was naturally impossible to compare with Ye Chen, she stopped and walked along the way, letting Ye Chen carry her on his back most of the time. Xiaoxue I also felt extremely embarrassed, so I had to hold the map and keep looking at it.

"Is the ravine the one in front?"

Xiaoxue followed Ye Chen's words and looked forward, only to see a huge fault in the distance, as if the continent had been cut in half, and a huge ravine opened in the middle.

The two of them took a closer look and realized that the bottom was like an abyss. Although there were some uneven stone steps, even if they accidentally slipped and fell, they would probably fall on the stone steps instead of falling. In the abyss, but if you are really unlucky and fall down, you may be shattered to pieces.

Ye Chen took a moment to look at it. In such a huge abyss, even in the realm of the Great Emperor, there was probably no chance of survival, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"There is a bridge there!" Xiaoxue shouted in surprise.

Ye Chen also walked over and saw that there was indeed a bridge over this huge ravine. However, theoretically speaking, it could not be regarded as a bridge because it was basically two iron cables connected with a few wooden boards in the middle. That’s all.

Not only is it shaky, but it also looks like it hasn't been used for a while. The wooden boards on it are also close to decay, as if they will break in half if you step on them. There are also a lot of rust on the iron chains. Just as Ye Chen put his hands together slightly, he saw that some of the outer layer of the iron chain had fallen off.

Even on both sides of the bridge, there are only two felled tree stumps. Although the tree stumps look very strong, they have unstable foundations growing on the edge of the cliff.

Ye Chen looked around, but found that there was no other passage. If they could fly in the air, they could fly through it, but now they don't have the ability to use spiritual energy.

"Okay, let's give it a try, Xiaoxue, get on my back and don't move around."

Xiaoxue was a little scared, but she still nodded. She just kept her eyes closed tightly after lying on Ye Chen's back, not even daring to breathe out. She held Ye Chen's clothes tightly with both hands, even though Xiaoxue was there. In Ye Chen's heart, he was just a child, but also a young girl. The unique girlish direction spread into Ye Chen's nose, making Ye Chen feel a little uncomfortable all over.

Ye Chen coughed slightly, drove all the thoughts out of his mind, and then said solemnly: "Hold on tight!"

After that, Ye Chen jumped up to the wooden board. As soon as he stepped on the wooden board, the wooden surface made a "squeaking" sound, as if it was whining, which made people feel a little bit sad. Afraid.

And Ye Chen didn't dare to delay. The longer he delayed at this time, the easier it would be for him to fall into a dangerous situation. He then pulled the chain on the side and jumped a few steps forward. Fortunately, Xiaoxue's weight It was relatively light. Even if the two of them stepped on each other, the weight wouldn't be much. What's more, Ye Chen poured most of his strength into the chain on the side, so the wooden board could barely bear it.

The two of them ran on the bridge cautiously and quickly. In a short time, they had already covered half of the distance. The bridge was unexpectedly strong. Ye Chen felt relieved and sped up a bit. speed.

However, this relaxation did make Ye Chen realize the seriousness of the problem, because just when he took the last few steps and saw that he was still several meters away from the other side, the tree stump on the other side of the bridge actually came loose!

Immediately afterwards, just like a big bank bursting its embankment, both tree stumps collapsed. Seeing that he was about to fall into the abyss, Ye Chen did not dare to stop for a moment, so he kicked off with his feet. Ashore.

But the bridge fell completely, with some sawdust residue.

"It's okay, I'm here." Ye Chen smiled bitterly, and then walked towards the forest.

Not long after the two left, four more people walked out of the Yun Beast Mountain Range. They looked at the huge ravine in front of them and activated their flying spells. One of the women looked at the collapsed wooden bridge beside them. , said with some surprise: "Why did this bridge collapse?"

"I don't know, maybe it was blown down by the wind over time."
