His other hand pulled the brake back.

With this movement by Ning Chen, the speedboat instantly slowed down.

Immediately after, the brake was pushed up again.

The roar of the engine echoed once more in this narrow waterway cave, and the speedboat lunged forward.

The light inside grew dimmer and dimmer.

Ning Chen took out a flashlight.

The water surface ahead was illuminated.

As the front was lit up, the speedboat's speed also slowed down.

Ahead, a hundred meters away.

Was a stone wall.

Internal group 519124243

This water cave actually had no way forward!

The speedboat slowed down and began to move slowly forward on the water surface.

Finally, with a soft thud, it bumped against the stone wall directly ahead.

"Big brother, look!" Zhang Xiaonian pointed to the left.

Ning Chen looked.

Only then did he discover that to the left, not far away, the entire water flow went down.

It was a shallow, dropping waterfall.

On both sides of the waterfall, there were stones to step on.

Ning Chen slowly drove the speedboat over.

He stopped about ten meters from the edge of the waterfall, close to a few stones nearby.

Then, he leaped first, standing on the stone.

Raising his hand, he untied the rope at his waist.

Then he walked forward; following these stones, one could walk all the way to the edge of the waterfall.

He walked all the way over, and then saw.

This was indeed a small waterfall.

The drop of the small waterfall was about forty meters.

Below was a small pool of broken stones; around the small pool was land.

That is to say, as long as they went down this waterfall, they could enter the small island.

Ning Chen returned.

He got on the speedboat.

The Husky squatted beside Zhang Xiaonian, staring at Ning Chen with a serious expression.

Ning Chen came forward, bent down, and looked at Zhang Xiaonian.

Zhang Xiaonian looked at him.

A few seconds later, Ning Chen said, "Since you want to come with me, don't regret it; otherwise, you should go back. I don't want to take along a little dead weight."

Zhang Xiaonian bit her lip, stared at Ning Chen, and suddenly nodded hard several times.

In her gaze, although there was fear, there was even more determination.

Ning Chen said no more; he bent down to check the rope tied around Zhang Xiaonian's small waist.

He tightened it again.

Then, he tied the other end of the rope to himself again.

He tested it a few times; it was very secure.

He pulled Zhang Xiaonian, following the stones on the side, all the way to the edge of that waterfall.

Beside them was a large stone; Ning Chen kept coiling the rope around the large stone.

Then he wedged the extending part into a protruding spot in the side wall crack.

This way, it was very secure.

He turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaonian.

"I will first slowly lower you down. I will be on top, you on the bottom. Following the rock-climbing mode, we will slowly descend together. You must try hard to let your feet push against the cliff wall; this can keep your body stable. Do you understand?" Ning Chen looked at her.

Zhang Xiaonian tilted her head and glanced down.

So high...

She swallowed, then looked at Ning Chen and nodded.

"You will stay on the same rope with me the whole time, right?" she suddenly said.

Ning Chen looked at her, then nodded.

Zhang Xiaonian was ready.

Ning Chen stood above, holding the rope, and slowly lowered Zhang Xiaonian at the other end of the rope.

The tail of the rope soon hung down to the stones below.

Next, the two of them just needed to hold the rope tightly and descend slowly.

Zhang Xiaonian's movements were much more agile than Ning Chen had imagined.

This little girl was very brave, and also very agile.

Ning Chen confirmed there were no problems.

He himself also followed the rope and began to descend.

Thus, one above, one below.

Above is my lord, below is a child.

The two of them began to slowly inch down the rope like this.

These two fellows, acting this way,

truly scared the viewers in Brother Shiguang's live stream half to death!

【Oh my! No wonder this little Miss is with Brother Shiguang now!】

【One who doesn't care about their life brought another who doesn't care about their life!】

【One dares to speak, and the other truly dares to listen!】

【This child has a future; this kind of descent really tests arm and leg strength.】

【Must hold on tight, must hold on tight...】

【Even if you don't hold on tight, it doesn't matter; both of them have ropes tied around their waists, as long as the rope doesn't have a problem.】

But.

If nothing unexpected happens,

the unexpected will often occur.

The rope had a problem.

The rope originally wouldn't have had a problem.

But at the upper edge, the stone was slightly different.

Because beside it flowed water that never ceased for years.

Year after year, the stone the flowing water passed over was worn smooth beyond compare.

And in sync with that, the stone from the side was outlined with sharp edges by the flowing water.

And at this moment.

With the swaying and twisting of the rope,

the rope slowly slid toward that sharp edge.

The sharp edge of that upper stone was somewhat sharp.

The rope got caught on it and began to rub frantically.

In a short while, the fibers inside the rope began to wear and break one by one.

With the loss of countless fibers,

this originally very sturdy rope finally could not support the person's burden of the two people below.

Splash!

A single sound.
