A rare opportunity

Chapter 733 Falling off the cliff

The development of the situation made Hu Mei confused. She couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

Just as she was drifting off into a daze, she suddenly felt her body lighten and the sound of wind picked up in her ears. She couldn't help but shudder and suddenly woke up! Only then did she realize that her body was falling at an extremely fast speed!

When he opened his eyes, he saw the knife-like mountain climbing up rapidly! Knowing that something was wrong, he screamed in fear and couldn't help but bury his head deeply in Li Yu's arms!

It was obvious that he had already fallen off a cliff! Looking at this straight peak, he knew that the cliff must be bottomless! If he fell down like this, he would be smashed into a pulp!

Thinking of this, Hu Mei couldn't help but tremble with fear! As a woman, even if she died, she didn't want to die so ugly! And thinking that she would be involved with this fool Hu Buzhi, she was even more angry! Resentment towards Hu Buzhi arose spontaneously!

If you want to jump off the cliff, then jump. Why take me with you? I'd rather die at the hands of a monster than be turned into a pile of pulp! And why would I want to hang out with a fool? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stretch out her hands, wanting to push Li Yu away!

She thought Li Yu was trying to escape the Blood Wolf and the White Rabbit by jumping off the cliff. Little did she know, Li Yu was looking back as he ran, clutching her. In his haste, he lost sight of his footing and, accidentally, tripped and fell off the cliff.

The moment his feet were suspended in the air, Li Yu knew something was wrong! He wanted to throw Hu Mei out, but he wasn't sure he could throw her to the top of the cliff. In desperation, he could only hold her and fall down!

Li Yu had a characteristic: the more dangerous the situation, the calmer he became! Even in dire straits, he wouldn't give up easily! Although he was in dire straits, he didn't panic. Instead, he stared intently at the cliff below, searching for a possible escape opportunity!

When he felt Hu Mei trying to push him away, he subconsciously hugged her tighter!

He only glanced at her and ignored her, returning his attention to the cliff.

Hu Mei couldn't help but get furious! She immediately reached out and slapped Li Yu non-stop! She also yelled:

"Let me go! Let me go!"

Hu Mei's unreasonable behavior finally angered Li Yu! He immediately said sternly:

"If you don't want to die, you'd better not move! Otherwise, don't blame me for being disrespectful!"

Hu Mei was also shocked by Li Yu's gloomy face! She had seen Li Yu's methods before! Not to mention that she had just recovered from a serious injury, even if she was not injured, she would not be his opponent! For this lecher, if he was really angered, who knew what he would do!

Thinking about the consequences, he couldn't accept it after all, and couldn't help but feel bitter! He had no choice but to stop struggling and calm down! But deep down, he was cursing Li Yu!

As his body continued to fall, Li Yu finally discovered that in the cracks of the straight cliff, there would occasionally be one or two strong little trees growing stubbornly! However, it was a bit regrettable that those tenacious little trees were not within the range of his arms!

Li Yu wasn't discouraged; instead, he was secretly delighted! This was because there was a crack in the cliff where he was falling! He believed that a small tree would appear! Although that small tree might not be able to bear the weight of both him and Hu Mei, it could slow down their descent! This would reduce the impact of the fall, greatly increasing their chances of survival!

Finally, a small tree appeared in the direction they were falling! Li Yu was overjoyed when he saw it! He immediately hugged Hu Mei with one hand, freeing his right hand. The moment their bodies passed the small tree, he reached out and grabbed it!

They managed to grab onto the tree, but it had little effect on their downward momentum! It was simply too small! The slightest touch would have uprooted them!

At first, Hu Mei didn't believe Li Yu's words! After all, falling from a cliff meant there was no chance of survival! When she saw Li Yu reaching out to grab a tree, her heart began to race! It seemed as if she saw hope for survival!

However, when she saw the tree was completely powerless, her face turned pale! The hope of life that had just risen was instantly shattered! At the same time, she also felt resentment towards Li Yu! She hated him for stirring up her hope of life! She hated him for shattering her hope so quickly!

You know, if a person has no hope, they can live their life in a muddle. But if they see hope and that hope is fleeting, they are likely to fall into despair! Hu Mei is in this state of despair right now!

Li Yu's confidence surged! As long as there was one tree, there was a chance of a second one! If there were small trees, there was also the possibility of large trees! You know, the deeper you go, the more abundant the water! This would be more conducive to the growth of these trees growing in the cracks of the cliffs!

As time went by, Li Yu couldn't help but feel a little anxious! After all, this cliff couldn't be a bottomless pit! If he couldn't slow down his fall, it would be too late! Even if there were dense trees under the cliff, with such a falling momentum, he would be smashed to pieces, with no chance of survival!

At this moment, another small tree appeared at their feet! Li Yu immediately concentrated his mind and calmed down, reaching out and grabbing the small tree tightly! However, the small tree only made their movements pause for a moment before he pulled it out again!

However, it was this small tree that finally slowed their fall! Seeing another small tree appear under his feet, Li Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy, even though his arm was extremely painful! With these small trees cushioning the impact, the possibility of their survival was greatly increased!

After pulling out countless small trees, Li Yu felt his arms gradually losing sensation, and his brain gradually became numb. When he pulled out the last small tree, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and passed out!

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yu felt someone calling out in his ear while he was half asleep! He immediately opened his eyes with difficulty and found Hu Mei looking at him anxiously! It seemed that he had escaped death again!

When Hu Mei saw this, she burst into tears and said:

"You...you finally woke up!"

Li Yu smiled at Hu Mei.

"Sister...Sister! Don't...don't worry! I...I'm fine!"

"Wow! I'm glad you're okay! I...I'm scared!"

Li Yu couldn't help but be deeply moved! Although this person was a little selfish, she seemed to be quite nice to him! At least she cared about him now! He immediately comforted her:

"Don't... don't be afraid! I'm... I'm here!"

"Woo woo woo! Okay...look at us...what should we do now?"

Li Yu was stunned! He couldn't help but want to sit up. But he found that he was not on the ground now, as if he was in the clouds, and his body kept shaking! He turned around and found that he was lying on the top of a tree!

Li Yu immediately sat up and looked down, gasping for air! It turned out that he and Hu Mei were trapped on a relatively large tree tube! Although the tree at the bottom of the cliff was clearly visible, it was still dozens of feet away! More importantly, the crack that led straight down seemed to change its course here, so he couldn't see any small trees! Without the small trees, there was no way to cushion the fall! Jumping from such a height would either kill him or leave him crippled!

At this moment, Li Yu heard a rustling sound! Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw the soil on the roots of the tree where they were standing was falling with a rustling sound!

It turned out that the tree was already struggling to support the two of them, and Li Yu's movement even shook the roots!

Seeing the roots gradually exposed, Na Humei was frightened and screamed loudly:

"Don't move! Don't move!"

Seeing that Li Yu had stopped moving, the rustling sound continued. Hu Mei couldn't help but glance at Li Yu and reached out to push him off the treetops. But then, thinking that she was still alive because Li Yu hadn't given up on her, she finally felt a pang of conscience.

You know, she remained conscious throughout the entire descent! Of course, she would rather have been unconscious!
