SURO BLEDEK
Ch. 362 Edge Gorge
"Is Eyang Sindurogo sure of this man's words? Look he has brought us to the edge of this abyss. Maybe he'll kill us to fall into the abyss?" asked Lord Rencong while staring at the lips of the ravine in front of him.
By looking at the vastness and darkness of the bottom of the abyss, they were unable to know its depth.
"Don't worry Salya, the pill this man has swallowed makes him unable to lie to me. Everything he said, no one lied."
The place they were standing was at one of the foot of the mountain which included the Tian Shan mountain range. The place was filled with snow. So was the gap that stood before the three of them.
"Why did you take us to the edge of this abyss?" asked Sindurogo to the man next to him.
If noticed, the man's gaze looked blank. In addition, the clothes used by the man are a little interesting, because the clothes are exactly the same as those worn by people who have kidnapped Dewi Anggini, namely while in battle in the Kingdom of Kendan.
"Because the place you ask is on the wall of the ravine across from. That place is far down. Precisely in the middle of the ravine wall," The man still answered Sindurogo's question blankly.
All the body of the man stiff does not move, except the neck up which can be moved. Therefore, along the way, Sindurogo raised his body with one right hand.
His stiff body was likely due to having been spotted. So was the blank look that had no expression at all on her face, because something had been done to her.
"If from up here, to go across the ravine is approximately twenty spears. Your words don't make sense. Then how do the troops led by your chief get to that place?
The distance to reach the wall of the ravine across it is quite far. Except for the troops who are with your chief, at least have reached the level of the sky," said Lord Rencong staring at the man beside him.
But the man seemed not to respond to any words from Lord Rencong. His gaze was only straight towards the eye of Sindurogo.
"Especially if the intended place is in the middle of the ravine wall. Doesn't that sound like asking us to kill ourselves?" Although his words were not listened to by the man, Lord Rencong continued to speak.
"Why isn't Salya, didn't you after consuming the pill I made, you have already reached the level of heaven? So it is not a problem if we have to plunge freely to the bottom of this abyss even." said Eyang Sindurogo to Lord Rencong who still suspected the man's words.
"For me it doesn't matter, it just doesn't make sense. If that's true, then how are they going to get to where we're going?"
The man wearing clothes like the one from the Red Rose group resumed his remarks, after Sindurogo asked for further explanation.
The man then explained how to get to the place. Not far from them stood, there was a kind of archae standing on a slightly tall stone pillar.
The man said that the archa would help show the way they would pass. Eyang Sindurogo then turned the archa according to the instructions described.
Sraaaa...!
Duuumm...!
A moment later from under the pile of snow on the edge of the ravine slid a large rock that then hit towards the wall of the ravine across.
So large was the stone as a bridge that could be used as a tool to cross the ravine in front of them. After the big stone hit the wall of the ravine across, then the rocks that form a ladder formation sprung.
"Amazing thing, how deep was the treasure depository of Emperor Gong?
Look at the Swordsman Lelananging universe, the end of the stairs is not visible to the darkness of this ravine." said Lord Rencong in a surprised tone.
The eyes of Lord Rencong try to trace the length of the stairs that lead far down. However, due to the darkness of the abyss, his eyes were unable to catch the end of the stairs.
After the loud bang that resulted from the rock strike just now, the entire place shook. His voice that broke the silence of the mountain had resulted in snow piling up on the slopes tumbling down and triggering an avalanche.
"Quickly we have to cross immediately, if we don't want to be hit by the avalanche." Eyang Sindurogo again raised the man next to him followed by Lord Rencong next to him.
They did not cross the bridge, but Sindurogo eyes immediately darted down following a row of stairs whose ends were not visible to the dark of the abyss.
"How deep is this abyss?" Eyang Sindurogo continued to dart down while shouldering the stiff body of the man almost all over his body.
After a while they slid down, they did not find the end of the ladder either. Because of that, Sindurogo accelerated the lesion of his body.
Almost a drink of tea they finally reached the end of the stairs that they had been tracing. They immediately reached the ravine wall. The place had very little lighting, so it was rather dark.
A gate was waiting at the end of the stairs. A stone gate that was quite wide as about one spear had opened.
They could find the place, for from within the passageway a torch-like light lit up quite brightly in the darkness of the depths of the abyss.
Eyang Sindurogo then lowered the body of the man who had been flank.
"Do you know the direction of this hallway?"
"After arriving at the bottom of the ravine that we passed, the chairman ordered me and also some people to immediately announce his arrival to the headquarters in the Field of Hell.
That's why I don't know the way you're going."
Hearing that, Sindurogo nodded his head.
"How does eyang Sindurogo, mean from here we will search for ourselves?"
"Forced, but this is enough to help us find sister. Because I believe this passageway is the treasure house of Emperor Gong.
This gate has a sign that is very similar to the mark on the dagger belonging to the younger sister of Dewi Anggini."
They both eventually continued on the road. While the man who was with them was left near the gate of the hallway.
Yet not ten footsteps had they stepped on, they had found a corpse. The clothes the corpse was wearing belonged to the Red Rose group. A rusty knife had stuck in his forehead.
"This place is full of traps, this man has died by a trap deliberately set to kill anyone who dares to enter it." Eyang Sindurogo immediately became vigilant to guard against all possibilities.
Because with the body, it means that the place is indeed what they are looking for. But it also proves there are traps all over the place.
"It seems he's telling the truth."
After witnessing this, now Lord Rencong can confirm, if the words of the Red Rose members they made the guide proved the truth.
"I told you what the man said wasn't a lie. The pill I gave him would make him incapable of lying.
