Free Web NovelSun Xixi spent nearly half an hour returning to the bridgehead where they had started.
The superhumans all gathered around.
After all, whoever crossed next would be themselves, and no one wasn't interested in the information she brought back.
Sun Xixi recounted her experience just now.
"You're saying you couldn't see the opposite shore?"
"No, this bridge is extremely long. I flew for a long time and still couldn't see where the other side was!"
"Then why not just fly straight across?"
"Can't fly across. The deeper you go, the greater the pressure! But if you land on the bridge, there's no pressure. There should be a flight-forbidden rule in play."
Blah blah blah...
After listening to Sun Xixi's description.
Dantai Bie thought it over, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll give it a try..."
With that, the guy's entire body began to wrap itself in a layer of transparent energy. His body started to float, then he shot straight toward the wooden bridge.
About an hour or so later.
Dantai Bie finally returned, utterly dejected.
After coming back, this chatterbox's face wasn't looking too good either.
Seeing everyone staring at him.
Dantai Bie said bluntly, "What Xixi said is right."
"This bridge has flight restrictions. I could only fly halfway before I couldn't anymore, so I had to stop on the bridge!"
"I can't see where the front leads!"
"This bridge is way too long!"
"I have no idea which lunatic built a bridge like this!"
"Sigh... this bridge... it's too dangerous..."
"From where I'm standing, maybe we should see if there's another way!"
"Squad Leader Chu, don't you have that Blood Path ability?"
"Want to give it a shot?"
Hearing Dantai Bie say this, everyone turned their gazes to Chu Che.
Clearly, not a single person in the entire convoy was willing to walk this bridge.
This bridge was just too absurd.
Chu Che gritted his teeth. He had already said a lot earlier.
But obviously, crossing this bridge had gone beyond everyone's psychological expectations.
Truth be told, he didn't want to walk this bridge either.
This bridge was simply too exaggerated.
No way around it.
Chu Che pulled a small knife from his chest and slashed his palm in one swift motion.
"Oh how desolate—my blood I offer here! Heaven and earth torn asunder, all phenomena run wild!..."
"I pray for a sliver of daylight to descend, illuminating this—Blood Path, Return to Fate!—Covenant Formed!"
As Chu Che's incantation rang out.
A mysterious, ancient power swirled before Captain Chu.
A blood path materialized.
This blood path led straight to that wooden bridge swaying in the mountain wind.
As the bridge swayed, the blood path followed suit, adding an extra layer of eeriness!
Chu Che gasped heavily for air...
Clearly, this Blood Path ability took a massive toll on the pathfinder.
"Pant... pant..."
"Everyone, let's go. There's... there's nothing left to hesitate about..."
The group exchanged glances, then simply fell silent.
No way around it.
Even the Blood Path had chosen this route.
That meant the only path to survival was this one.
That was also a comfort.
Because the pathfinder's Blood Path never chose a dead end.
Xue Nan began getting the rest of the convoy ready.
Trying to cross this wooden bridge that didn't look right from the start.
No one had any confidence.
Not even the superhumans.
"Supervisor Xue, I... I..."
One of the more timid survivors stammered out.
His face was practically on the verge of tears.
Before even setting foot on the bridge, the guy's legs were already trembling like an electric fan.
Xue Nan naturally knew what this guy was about to say and only replied coldly, "If you don't cross, you die!"
"Crossing means death too, Supervisor Xue, how about you..."
Another person chimed in.
The implication was to have Xue Nan talk to the superhumans and see if there was another way.
Xue Nan glanced at the interrupter, staring at him until the man's heart raced and he averted his gaze, then slowly said, "If you cross, even if you die, you'll find peace."
"If you die here, no one knows what you'll become!"
"You don't have a choice."
Everyone fell silent.
In front of superhumans, Xue Nan was calm, thorough, and handled things properly...
But in front of survivors, this ugly bastard was nothing but a dog for the superhumans.
Of course, no one dared say that to Xue Nan's face.
Chen Ye walked to the bridge surface and reached out to touch the wooden bridge's railing.
It felt slightly cool to the touch, even a bit damp.
Just the sensation of wood long soaked by moisture.
The smell of damp, decaying wood filled his nostrils.
Chen Ye stomped on the bridge surface with his foot and found the wood surprisingly hard.
This made Chen Ye pay extra attention.
He looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention to him.
Chen Ye stealthily reached out and drew Hatred.
Pressing the blade lightly into the bridge surface...
A deep knife mark appeared on the bridge.
Chen Ye was slightly disappointed.
This was just wood slightly stronger than ordinary timber.
Not the magical material he had imagined.
"Tsk tsk... and here I thought it was something good."
"Look at you, all sneaky like you're up to no good."
The sudden voice startled Chen Ye, making him jump slightly. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Turning around, he saw Chu Che stroking his chin.
"You bastard..."
Chu Che gave Chen Ye a cold, sneering glance. "With me around, don't even think about keeping all the good stuff to yourself!"
With that, he walked away proudly.
Chen Ye's teeth itched.
Do you think I'd let you find out when I'm keeping things to myself?
You definitely don't know about the mass of tangled limbs or the knife Ding Shen gave me!
No wait...
The tangled limbs—the scene was so chaotic back then, this guy might have seen them.
Knowing this old schemer's personality, he might have known all along and just never said anything.
That's very possible!
Chen Ye's heart sounded an alarm.
No helping it. Chu Che was just too sly.
After all, it takes an old schemer to understand an old schemer.
The knife from Ding Shen was no big deal—it was a gift from Ding Shen and had nothing to do with the rest of the convoy.
Chen Ye quickly thought through many things.
But he soon pushed the chaotic thoughts out of his mind.
After all, with the current situation, crossing the bridge was the priority.
The convoy quickly formulated a plan to cross.
Everyone except the drivers had to get out of the vehicles.
And that was just to lighten the load.
Each person carried some supplies on their back.
And everyone had a thick rope tied around their waist.
This thick rope linked the survivors together like a string of candied haws.
That way, if one person fell, the others could pull them back up.
Every single person's face was pale and their legs were trembling as they tied the rope around their waists.
This wasn't some thrilling amusement park ride.
Those thrilling rides at amusement parks were repeatedly tested for safety.
But this wooden bridge perched atop a mountain in the clouds looked like a gateway to hell no matter how you saw it.
The whole bridge only had connecting parts at this end, with just a few supports as thick as a human thigh underneath.
These supports swayed along with the bridge.
It looked unreliable no matter how you looked at it.
There weren't even any railings or cables on either side.
