Chapter 909: Jumped Off the Cliff
Jumped Off the Cliff . . .
Cha Eun Xiao's leap off the precipice was both swift and unexpected, yet it was far from his first ti doing so. He executed a precise maneuver, angling himself for a controlled descent along the steep cliff face. After falling approximately fifty ters, he extended his hands, which transford into makeshift anchors, digging into the cliff's surface.
Mid-air, he abruptly halted his descent and extended his legs in search of a secure foothold. His feet soon made contact with a solid rock, granting him a brief mont to regain his composure. "Luckily, it's still here," he muttered to himself.
Sky Soul Precipice.
As Cha Eun Xiao and Li Wuliang had once scaled this daunting cliff, they had taken a thodical approach. They had crafted periodic resting points to pause and catch their breath. They had even planned to return to the precipice soday, reinforcing their careful construction of secure footholds.
However, fate had different intentions for them. Both of them had t their end before they could revisit this place.
The resting spots they had created had beco an enigmatic secret concealed from the world's eyes. Only Cha Eun Xiao and Li Wuliang had known of their existence.
In retrospect, their craftsmanship in creating these footholds had been quite rudintary, serving rely as landing platforms. From the perspective of onlookers atop the mountain, these spots would remain hidden, as they were situated fifty ters apart from one another.
Resuming his descent, Cha Eun Xiao continued to fall, his thoughts montarily interrupted by a plaintive ow. A small white figure hurtled down from above him.
Erhuo, Cha Eun Xiao's feline companion, had anticipated finding a resting point during its descent. However, there was no solid ground to be found, only clouds beneath. It plumted rapidly, its four paws flailing helplessly in the air. Erhuo was seized by panic, and its fearful cries filled the air.
"oww.."
[I'm going to die because of my foolish master...]
Witnessing Erhuo's predicant, Cha Eun Xiao reacted swiftly. He extended a hand, channeling an absorbing force into his palm, and with a deft motion, he captured Erhuo, cradling it within his arms.
Though the ordeal had lasted only a brief mont, it left a profound impression on the usually audacious Erhuo. The near-death experience had been harrowing, and it felt as if it had returned from the brink of oblivion within seconds. Trembling in Cha Eun Xiao's arms, its fur bristled with fear.
"ow... ow, ow... ow..." Erhuo continued to ow, its voice trembling, and its words incomprehensible.
Cha Eun Xiao keenly sensed the depths of fear within his brave companion, Erhuo. The creature huddled in his arms, a stark contrast to its usual bold deanor. It was a sight Cha Eun Xiao had never encountered before.
"Erhuo, you silly thing. I never knew you could be frightened like this. Will you dare to be audacious again?" Cha Eun Xiao wore a warm smile as he playfully tapped Erhuo's damp nose with his finger.
"ow..." Erhuo rolled its eyes and squinted at Cha Eun Xiao. "ow..."
[Goodness, what a terrifying cliff!]
Cha Eun Xiao chuckled. He couldn't help but smile as he looked at Erhuo. He knew the little feline had been petrified by this experience.
In reality, Erhuo possessed a ans to save itself. It could have promptly entered the Boundless Space, but the fear had left it disoriented and incapable of making a rational decision in the heat of the mont. Erhuo was indeed a spiritual beast, but even it could succumb to panic under the right circumstances.
Holding Erhuo securely in his arms, Cha Eun Xiao continued his descent down the precipice. Step by step, he navigated the sheer cliff. His back was pressed firmly against the rock, and his powerful muscles acted as tactile sensors, allowing him to maintain a close yet safe distance from the precipice's surface.
Cha Eun Xiao moved with remarkable fluidity and caution. The three months of specialized training he had undergone allowed him to possess exceptional control over each muscle within his body. Even during a descent down a precipice such as this, he demonstrated a flawless orchestration of his physique.
As he continued his descent and had fallen approximately seven thousand ters, a familiar sensation of damp coldness washed over him. It grew increasingly uncomfortable. Cha Eun Xiao instinctively reached out to touch the cliff's surface, as if in search of sothing. Employing the East-rising Purple Qi, he harnessed its energy to dislodge a chunk of earth from the precipice and cast it downward.
This earthy projectile unveiled the entrance to a concealed cave. His reaction was one of familiarity rather than astonishnt. He entered the cave without hesitation.
This particular cave had been ticulously fashioned by Cha Eun Xiao himself. During his earlier ascent of the precipice with Li Wuliang, they had grown weary at this elevation. In response, Cha Eun Xiao had expended considerable effort to dig out a shelter in this very spot, designed to provide them with a respite lasting half a day.
Over ti, the cave's entrance had accumulated a layer of dust due to disuse. However, Cha Eun Xiao had been the one to create it, so he knew precisely where it was located.
Upon entering the cave, Cha Eun Xiao discovered that it was more spacious than he had rembered. This was expected, as it had initially been designed for two individuals to find comfort within. Now, he occupied it alone, with Erhuo nestled in his arms.
The young feline had been trembling with fear, but sensing Cha Eun Xiao's cessation of movent, it began to explore its newfound surroundings. After cautiously testing the solidity of the cave's floor, Erhuo stepped off Cha Eun Xiao and began to stroll around.
Its deanor shifted from timid and anxious to confident and self-assured. Erhuo exhibited an elegant, almost haughty air as it leisurely wandered about the cave. Its agitation had dissipated, and it even approached the entrance, where it cast curious glances both upward and downward.
Erhuo emitted a series of ows, its tail swaying joyfully as it expressed its sentints. The feline seed to be attempting to convey sothing.
[Oh, this cliff turns out to be of this type! If I had known earlier, I would have descended it as if it were a flat, easy pathway. It would have been a piece of cake!]
Cha Eun Xiao regarded Erhuo with a degree of indifference. [You certainly have a talent for boasting,]
[You're making that declaration a bit late. You can say whatever you wish now. I must admit that I find it quite enjoyable to witness you in such a state of fear. You foolish creature...]
