The Demon Swordsman 2
Ch. 333 - Last Footing
Chaos ensued under the foot of the mountain, three snake corpses lying on the ground with the neck torn off. Time continued to run as Xin Chen cleared the place, where his enemies continued to arrive nonstop. The scent of blood invited the demons into place so Xin Chen barely had any gap to leave. Compared to it all, time had passed by an hour more, there was no one else around.
However Xin Chen was sure there were other eyes watching his movements, he could not use force and could only rely on his current strength. The mountain ruler began to look slowed down, the snake got an incision in his body. Xin Chen stroked him, making the snake hit the tree until his body was squeezed by a large tree.
Xin Chen's shrewdness in tricking made the demons more cautious of him. Despite their sharp hearing, they barely heard footsteps approaching silently. After being in the middle of that demon, Xin Chen attacked the biggest snake. Making the demon reflex to remove the poisonous liquid from his mouth. He immediately chased after Xin Chen who went into the dark forest. His swift movements were unstoppable as he found a dead end. Make it fall into the shallow stream below.
Xin Chen immediately left when the other demons had yet to catch up. Looking for the trace marks that Wei Feng should have left behind. But there are so many traces on that road. Remembering that some people just passed through it while fighting against the demon.
Xin Chen took the left path, this time he decided to jump from one tree to another because in that place, he had decided to jump from one tree to another, his enemies were so numerous that almost along the way he could see them creeping waiting for prey to come.
The road in front of the dead end was blocked by a high cliff. From here his strength would be tested, Xin Chen raised his sleeves. Someone acknowledged it above.
"Well, well, he's back. Need help?"
"Woah, Brother Chen! Finally you came, we were waiting for you!" Yu Xiong screamed up there.
Climbing the cliff was not a difficult matter, he easily climbed unhindered. It's just that Youji's circumstances are worrying him.
"Is anyone hurt?"
"I'm doing fine. Don't think. We don't have much time."
Wei Feng pointed to himself, "This big boy let me pick up."
The higher they climbed, the more steep the road ahead was, Wei Feng was out of breath lifting Youji. Xin Chen replaced him, until they finally arrived at the highest peak. Only twenty minutes left, actually enough time. When thinking all the obstacles have been completed it turns out they are wrong. Up ahead a wooden bridge that looks fragile becomes the final challenge of this selection. It was about two hundred meters long. Connecting the mountaintops where they stood with one more lower mountain.
"Damn, this is really dangerous. Chen, if only one person maybe that foothold can hold you back. But ..."
Wei Feng looked at Youji's leg which he had previously tied up with was bleeding a lot. When wrapped earlier, the snake's tail moved wildly. Making Youji's feet torn apart by sharp rocks. Wei Feng looked across where quite a number of survivors had survived. They had arrived first and it seemed like they were only the last four participants.
"One footing for one person? My body is not too heavy. It should be able to carry Kak Youji."
Youji came down from Xin Chen's back, his face was so guilty. Once felt sorry why he came and only became a burden in the group.
"I'll try as I can."
"Front!"
"Did? Rarely do I see you so excited? Don't you wanna die today, okay?" cerocos Wei Feng and instantly obtained a deadly gaze from Yu Xiong.
"Yu Xiong ahead, Brother Wei, Brother Youji and last I. We've only got ten minutes left."
Yu Xiong took a deep breath, he ventured to walk on the wooden bridge that was only connected to the rope.
Despite looking valiant, Yu Xiong's legs trembled instead of playing while treading on the square wood. Some parts cracked because Yu Xiong was too lingering. His short legs were forced to reach the next two boards because the footing in front of him had been destroyed.
Yu Xiong's left hand slipped, he lost grip but managed to survive while holding on to the rope on the side of the bridge. His heart spurred unceasingly fast, his resigned eyes staring at Wei Feng which was like forcing him forward quickly.
"Sir Wei, if I die tell my mother that I died in battle."
"I'd say you die tripping over rocks if you don't go forward!"
Yu Xiong shuddered in horror, his side foot stepping onto his next foothold. The shock on the bridge made Yu Xiong almost fall down. He immediately looked back where something crucial was happening.
The wood that Wei Feng stepped on shattered and fell from a terrifying height. Youji tightened his grip on Wei Feng's hand, not letting the man fall.
"You've got five minutes!"
shouted the soldier from a distance.
They have not crossed half the bridge. Xin Chen advanced to Youji's place, helping to pull Wei Feng up. Their footing began to show signs of being broken, hence Xin Chen was in a hurry.
Successfully saving Wei Feng, they immediately advanced before the wood was destroyed. Yu Xiong reached out to help the others through the crushed footing. Now that Wei Feng was standing at the very front, their movements became even faster as Wei Feng moved with agility. Followed by Yu Xiong and Youji. Xin Chen stood last.
They're approaching the last line. Wei Feng, Youji and Yu Xiong managed to survive while jumping away from the bridge to the footing of the rocky ground ahead. Xin Chen at most last, he stepped on the last wood and only needed to jump across.
Unexpectedly it turns out there are still some participants who just arrived, they number eight people and some of them are dying with bleeding all over the body. Because of panic the eight people crossed the bridge together. Make the rope at the end there just slip away. The bridge collapsed instantly.
