Chapter 134 Floating Bridge

This incident happened too quickly, and there was no sign before. Before I could figure out what was going on, I felt a powerful force that made me unable to help but stagger into the abyss.

The bearded man reacted very quickly. When he saw me, he was about to fall under the bridge. He quickly rushed to me and ran to me in an instant. He reached out and grabbed it, and grabbed it on my backpack. Then he shouted, throwing his hands back, throwing me like a straw man behind his head. Seeing the situation, the prince hurriedly rushed up and reached out to catch me from the air. He heard two consecutive sounds of "bang bang" and the prince and I fell to the ground one after another. Fortunately, he was in time. I just wiped a little bit of my skin and didn't realize how much pain it was on my body.

But before I could get up, I heard Ding Yi shouting in front of me, and he was about to fall to the bottom of the valley, just like what I had just happened.

Fortunately, Da Beizi and Ding Er were both close to each other, and they all reached out and rushed to rescue him from the edge of the broken bridge at the critical moment.

Immediately afterwards, the bearded man waved to us repeatedly and shouted: "Everyone retreats, there is a lot of suction below!" After that, he and Ding Er did not dare to stay by the bridge for a long time, so they hurried to us and retreated more than ten meters away with everyone.

I was still in shock for a moment, and while panting heavily, I looked at the bridge in surprise. I really couldn't figure out where the invisible pulling force just now came from. Could it be that there was really an evil spirit here? Is it just to pull the living people into the abyss?

I heard a buzzing sound of a faint sound. I thought it was the black stone slab slowly rising. But at this moment, I felt a little panic in my heart, and I always felt that there was an invisible mysterious power around us. Referring to the series of strange changes that had happened before, I subconsciously seemed to instinctively believe that the ghosts and non-humans were caused by it. Could the name of this Devil City come from this?

At this moment, I suddenly heard the metal sound of "ding" around me. When I looked down, I found that the zipper of my coat was standing up incredibly, as if something was attracting it, shaking in the air. At the same time, I felt something abnormal in other parts of my body, especially the pistol in my hand moved continuously, obviously because it was disturbed by external forces, and it seemed that it was about to fly out of my hand.

The rest of the people also clearly felt the abnormality of the matter at this time, and they whispered in panic: "What's going on? My knife seems to be moving!" "Who pulled me? Why is my backpack so heavy?" "Hey! Look, the zipper of my clothes is standing up!"

As a series of strange phenomena came one after another, I suddenly thought about it and suddenly figured out the whole story.

The black stone slab that rose must be made of a magnet. Although I don’t understand why a huge magnet floats and sinks in this valley, from the magical phenomenon we encounter, it must be caused by huge magnetism. Otherwise, why did all the metal objects on us react at this time? But other matters have not been affected at all?

Thinking of this, I hurriedly shouted to everyone: "Get back, the stone slab is a big iron-sucking stone!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although they could not believe it for a moment, they could not help but have any suspicion as they saw the iron tools on their bodies tremble in that direction. After hearing my shout, they quickly retreated one after another, retreated to the entrance of the tunnel before stopping. Although they could still sense the suction force of the magnet at this position, it was much lighter than when they were on the bridge just now.

At this time, the low thunderous sound was getting louder and louder. As the huge black stone slab slowly floated up, everyone present was shocked by this spectacular scene.

After about two or three minutes, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the black stone slab was pressed on the bottom of the two broken bridges. Because the upward force was blocked, the stone slab could not continue to rise, and its length was just like a gap between the broken bridges. So both ends of the stone slabs were pressed on both ends of the two stone bridges and stopped there steadily. Looking at this time, it was like a complete stone bridge. This wonderful landscape was so indescribable.

After waiting for another minute, I saw that nothing abnormal happened around me, so I told everyone not to walk around at will. Then I took off all the metal utensils on my body and walked carefully towards the black stone slab.

After getting closer, I found that the iron-sucking stone slab was smooth and flat, completely made of manual polishing, and the stone was black and shiny, and it must be the best thing among magnets.

Looking down from the edge of the broken bridge, I saw a wider black magnet at the bottom of the valley. I looked up again at the misty water vapor surrounding me, and gradually made a general judgment on the wonder in front of me.

This stone slab is definitely the only link between the two broken bridges, and the huge magnet directly below should show a mutually exclusive reaction force. The thickness and weight of the magnet at the bottom of the valley far exceed the mass of the stone slab. Therefore, when the stone slab is surrounded by water vapor, its own weight will increase, which will offset a part of the upward thrust, thereby floating in the valley half-hanging.

Whenever noon, as long as the scorching heat of the sun and the volatility of the fog meet a certain standard, the water vapor on the slab will be reduced, and the magnet below it will exert enough reaction force to slowly push the slab up. The more the fog evaporates, the higher the slab will rise, and it will not be considered the end until it is pushed at both ends of the broken bridge.

I didn't expect that the wisdom of the ancients had reached this level. Not to mention how steep the city of Devil was built, this magnet alone was enough to shock the whole world. This floating bridge composed of two iron-absorbing stones would take much effort and hard work alone. In addition, the scale of mechanics, architectural design techniques, the development of mining industry, and the application and judgment of nature are all reflected in full, and any of them are what makes today's society sigh. Maybe it's the right thing in the riddle. This may be a city built by angels.

Seeing the sun gradually turned west, I didn't dare to delay any more. I quickly held the bridge railing and stepped on the stone slab. But I didn't expect that the stone slab seemed solid, but in fact it was not stressed. As soon as I stepped on it, I felt empty under my feet. Suddenly, two loud "buzzing" sounds, and one corner of the stone slab was actually trapped by me.

I was shocked and sweated in cold sweat, and hurriedly shrank my feet back. As the power of my foot pedal disappeared, the stone slab floated up again, and with a "boom", it pressed back under the broken bridge.

My bearded man and I looked at each other. No one could have thought that the huge stone slab could not bear the power of one foot. The luggage and food we carried on were all worthy of weight, but the floating bridge was useless and was not subject to any force. How did we cross the bridge?

However, it is natural to think about it carefully. Since the stone slab is floating up and down by the weight of water, it is naturally impossible to bear a person's weight. Fortunately, the pistol did not fall down just now, otherwise, the pontoon would probably sink back to the bottom of the valley due to the slight increase in weight.

I was unwilling to accept that this floating bridge could not be just a decoration, so I stretched out my foot to try how much weight this stone slab could withstand. This time I was mentally prepared for the pressing, so I didn't surprise myself like before. After stepping, I felt that although the stone slab was under pressure, the downward amplitude was very slow and did not fall as quickly as I thought.

I had an ominous premonition in my heart, but I still had a sense of luck, so I said to Big Beard: "Big Beard, try the load-bearing power of this stone slab and feel it well. If you run over, can you rush to the other side before it sinks?"

The bearded man nodded, first reached out and pressed the stone slab a few times, then stood up and thought about it, suddenly jumped forward, stepped on the double slabs, and then he used the force to turn back and flip it back, and then landed smoothly next to me.

I was shocked by his unpredictable behavior and sweated coldly, but when I saw him standing beside me calmly, my heart was relieved. The bearded man said to me: "It's not possible to run, you can jump over. But I can go over, but you..."

When I heard him say that he could cross the bridge from the stone slab, I further confirmed my guess just now, so I said to him: "If I guess correctly, there would be no normal person in this ancient city, and 80% of them are all blood demons."

The bearded man nodded with a serious expression and said, "I also thought that if ordinary people cannot cross the bridge, then the only one who can cross the bridge will be the blood demon."

I sighed and thought that although I had seen the strong winds and waves, how to deal with the blood demons in the city was a problem I had never encountered before. But I had never heard of the rumors that blood demons were appearing here. If it were the blood demons in the city, this area would have been gone long ago. It is estimated that the blood demons had mysteriously disappeared thousands of years ago, and all they left was an empty city ruin. No matter what, the bridge must be passed by. If it were a blessing or a disaster, then we could only leave it to fate.

So I asked the bearded man, "In your opinion, does Ding Er have the ability to jump over?"

The bearded man meditated for a moment and said, "It should be possible. As long as the speed is fast enough, it is not difficult to cross this bridge."

I said, "Okay, since that's the case, please ask you two to jump over the bridge and tie it with a long rope to the broken bridge opposite, and we are sliding along the rope."

The bearded was settled, and my bearded man and I hurried back to the tunnel entrance, briefly explained the summary of the matter, and arranged our arrangements for the next step.

Everyone also thought this was the only feasible way, so they took out their ropes, twisted the rope into strands, and tied them all tightly together. After they were all tied, I roughly calculated that the length of the rope should be enough to be the distance between the two bridges.

Time was tight and there was no need to worry too much. Then the bearded man grabbed one end of the rope and ran to the edge of the bridge. He didn't make any preparations in advance. After assisting all the way, he jumped forward with force. After stepping on the stone slab, he used force to exert force and jumped forward again.

The stone slab would sink downwards every time he stepped on it, but as the bearded man jumped forward and left the ground, the stone slab would lose external force and float up again. After jumping like this five times, the bearded man had certain shape and had already landed steadily on the stone bridge across the shore.

Seeing that the bearded man had a successful trial, Ding Er no longer hesitated and jumped forward like the bearded man. After jumping seven times, he landed on the opposite side safely.

Seeing that they had successfully crossed the bridge, I couldn't help but feel excited again. Then I asked the prince, Ding Yi and several other men to remove their equipment and go to the edge of the broken bridge to help me tie the rope together. The bearded man and Ding Er also started to work on the other side, and tied the other end of the rope tightly to the guardrail of the stone bridge.

After everything stopped, I looked up and saw that the sun above my head had become much westward, most of which had been blocked by the top of the mountain on the south side. Only a trace of golden edge left in our sight. At this time, the fog in the valley gradually began to spread, and the bearded man on the other side and Ding Yi were slowly surrounded by thick fog. After a moment, the two completely disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a rumbling sound came from under my feet, and the stone slab slowly sank in a slight shaking. Looking at this shocking scene, I felt both admiration and impressed, and vaguely felt a sense of crisis. After all, the owner of the city is very likely to be a blood demon. If such a smart and wise blood demon is still alive in the world, we may be terrifying in our next journey.

After a while, I saw that the stone slab had sank into the bottom of the valley, so I hung a pack of heavy luggage on the rope, then waved my arms and pushed it, and heard a 'hiss' sound. The backpack slid towards the opposite side at an extremely fast speed. I shouted to the clouds opposite: "Big Bearded! Take the bag!"

The bearded man responded on the opposite side, and then a muffled sound of "puff" came from him. Then he heard the bearded man shouting on the other side: "Catch it! No problem!"

Seeing that this method was feasible, I asked everyone to transfer their luggage to the other side first, and then slide to the other side. The only three safety ropes were tied to the waists of the Ji brothers and sisters and Gao Lin, while the rest were slid with their belts.

Fortunately, the whole process was finally safe. With the sound of terrifying screams, everyone arrived safely at the broken bridge on the other side. Big Bearded Man and Ding Er took us to the bridge one by one. After all the people landed on the ground, their legs were already scared and none of us could stand up.

After lying on the ground for a while, I finally recovered. I saw that the huge city gate above my head was extremely clear, and I couldn't help but be happy and afraid. What I was happy was that my efforts for many days were not in vain. After all the twists and turns, I finally arrived at the destination we expected. What I was afraid of was a new round of crisis. What I was afraid of was that the city was about to appear, whether it was an empty city or a blood demon everywhere. It was a lucky thing to go to this point, and the future was probably more up to luck.

After everyone was breathing and calmed down, we ate some food simply. Then I stood up and led everyone to the towering city of Devils.
