BXBX NOVEL Chapter 100 - 84: Beastmen Special Troops! Jiaojiao, let go quickly!_3
The road was finally clear, and the five of them managed to rush onto the rope bridge, sprinting towards the other side.
“Ah…!”
Li Jiao let out an involuntary scream. The suspension bridge was old and dilapidated and was made with a haphazardly mixed weave of ropes and steel wires.
The walkway, a mere assortment of wooden planks, was hanging over a pit so deep you couldn’t see the bottom.
One carefree swing was all it took to make it sway like a swing-very dangerous indeed.
“Jiaojiao! Don’t look down, keep looking forward, and move quickly!”
Bai Jingsheng yelled loudly and sprinted towards the other side.
Li Jiao bit her lip and followed closely behind him.
Li Zhen, on the other hand, silently cursed. The lesser demon he had summoned had returned to the Abyss.
This indicated that their enemies were once again hot on their heels!
“Howl”
“Howl”
As expected, within a few seconds, the pack of giant wolves had caught up to them on the bridge.
“There’s a stone pillar ahead! Get to it quickly!”
A glint shone in Qin Zheng’s eyes.
The suspension bridge was not directly connected to the other side. Instead, several giant stone pillars served as supports, dividing the ravine into several sections.
The sections were connected by the suspension bridge.
Qin Zheng’s figure blurred, and he leaped onto the rope on the side of the suspension bridge, astonishingly using the rope to propel himself onto the stone pillar.
Atop the pillar, several beast-men were lying in wait.
Descending from the sky, Qin Zheng barreled ferociously into the crowd. Two beast-men were immediately kicked by him off the bridge, screaming as they fell.
Bai Jingqi and Bai Jingsheng followed closely behind, cutting down the beast-men on the bridge one by one.
Li Jiao and Li Zhen were at the end, shakily heading towards the stone pillar.
All of a sudden, the suspension bridge violently rocked, causing Li Jiao to let out another scream and instinctively grab on to the rope.
Li Zhen instinctively looked back, his face turning pale.
“Jiaojiao! Hurry up! The beast-men behind us are cutting off the bridge beams!”
“What?!”
Li Jiao whipped her head around, only to see two monstrous creatures, four to five meters tall on the other side of the bridge, wielding enormous axes and fiercely hacking at the bridge’s wooden pillars!
Cavern trolls!
“Boom!”
The suspension bridge rocked again, and the rope supporting the bridge was severed by the cavern trolls.
The bridge, now detached like a kite without a string, plummeted towards the bottom of the ravine.
“Ah…!!!”
Li Jiao screamed again, gripping the bridge’s rope for dear life.
Beneath her, Li Zhen managed to catch onto the bridge’s rope with one hand while holding the compass steady with the other.
“Jiaojiao! Don’t be afraid, climb up quickly!”
“Climb up…!”
“I-I-I’ll cl-climb…I’ll climb…”
The voice of Li Jiao trembled, but her hands and feet, like those of an octopus, clung onto the bridge rope, refusing to climb up.
She was, after all, the esteemed heiress of the Li family, who had never experienced such suffering and danger before.
Even when fighting against monsters, they were monsters without teeth, their claws clipped short.
“Jiaojiao! Li Zhen!”
Bai Jingqi and the others also noticed the change here, quickly knelt down and extended their hands to them.
“Don’t be afraid! Brother Jingqi is here, climb up quickly!”
“Don’t look down!”
Qin Zheng also rushed over, grabbing a rope: “Jingqi! Grab the rope and pull them up!”
“Right, pull the rope!”
Bai Jingqi quickly reacted, and with Qin Zheng, each grabbed a rope and pulled with all their might.
“Squeak squeak”
“Squeak squeak”
All of a sudden, a harsh, strange cry emanated from the distant darkness above.
The group instinctively looked in that direction, only to see giant bats, spanning three to four meters wingtip to wingtip, soaring above the dim ravine!
Riding on the backs of these giant bats were fully armored beast-men, bows in hand. They were drawing their bows and taking aim at the group from a distance.
“Fuck…!”
Slipping through the courtesy and refinement of a scholar honed over more than ten years, Li Zhen instinctively let out a curse, his eyes filled with despair.
“Jiaojiao! Let go quickly!”
