That was naturally impossible.
Although they had only just formed a rudimentary acquaintance, a team was a team. In a team, one had to learn to attract others and entrust their backs to each other.
If they couldn't even achieve that, then there was no point in continuing to maintain the team's structure.
Duan Chen looked deeply at Jun Ci.
Although Jun Ci couldn't fully trust Duan Chen, he was still willing to accompany Duan Chen to carry out the plan that, in his opinion, was somewhat insane.
A faint smile appeared on Duan Chen's lips.
He opened his mouth and said, "Don't worry, don't show such a worried expression. I wouldn't joke with my own life."
Jun Ci let out a sigh of helplessness and said, "Let's hope so."
Yuan Qingqing and Yuan Yuan were getting closer to their location.
However...
A deep and long fissure lay between Duan Chen and Jun Ci.
The four of them were completely unable to meet.
If they wanted to meet, either they would have to go over, or Yuan Qingqing and Yuan Yuan would have to find a way to come over.
However, Duan Chen and Jun Ci felt that it was best not to trouble those two auxiliary teammates.
The two of them exchanged a glance and walked together towards the abyss.
The twin sisters, who had been watching their movements from not far away, saw this scene, and surprise flashed in their eyes.
The elder sister was named Zhang Xia, and the younger sister was named Zhang Qiu.
The names sounded plain, but these twin sisters were indeed very cute beauties.
The two walked over nervously, their speed very fast, reaching Duan Chen and Jun Ci.
Zhang Qiu looked at Duan Chen with concern and said, "Wait, sir, you're not planning to go down, are you?"
Duan Chen didn't think he needed to explain.
But at this moment, he still nodded.
Zhang Qiu's disbelievingly wide eyes seemed unable to comprehend what she had just heard.
"If you are going down, do you know what consequences you will have to bear?"
Consequences?
Duan Chen understood the consequences better than anyone else.
Jun Ci spoke softly from the side, "There's no time, we have to be fast."
As for why there was no time...
Duan Chen's gaze followed Jun Ci's, landing to their left.
That is, to the west.
There, a group of people were charging over angrily.
Leading the charge was Qin Wuji, followed by those who had been tricked into the snake cave by Duan Chen and Jun Ci.
They had all survived.
Although this was within expectations, Duan Chen's brow twitched slightly, unwilling to cause further trouble at this moment.
He looked at Jun Ci, nodded, and then politely said to the two sisters in front of them, "Excuse me, please make way."
He showed no hint of tenderness or care for the ladies.
Seeing that the twin sisters were not moving, Duan Chen impatiently furrowed his brow and directly pushed them aside.
Zhang Qiu stumbled to the side, supported by her sister, and looked at the two men who had already left in disbelief.
"They actually treated me, a beautiful girl, like this? It's outrageous!"
Whether it was outrageous or not, Duan Chen didn't know.
He and Jun Ci had quickly evaded Qin Wuji and the others' sight, found a relatively safe platform, and jumped down the cliff together.
The moment they landed on the cliff platform, Jun Ci's expression turned grim. Gentle light-elemental energy appeared around him, absorbing the pollution nearby.
That was the power of the evil god.
However, Jun Ci was not as resistant to the evil god as Duan Chen. As he absorbed more energy, the dark aura on his face grew heavier.
Seeing this, Duan Chen immediately took out his Qian Huan Pandora, which transformed into a shield form, enveloping him and Jun Ci.
Jun Ci stumbled forward and retracted the energy in his hand.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with trepidation, frowning as if finding it hard to comprehend, "The energy here is simply too abundant. If it weren't for the fact that the emergence of an evil god wouldn't be in this state, I would have doubted whether the gate below had opened."
Duan Chen's heart sank.
But fortunately, he had seen what an open gate looked like, so he was able to comfort Jun Ci.
"Don't worry, it probably hasn't opened."
Jun Ci didn't ask how Duan Chen was so sure. He just wiped his forehead and wearily flicked the water droplets from his fingertips.
The abyss below could be considered bottomless.
A dense black mist covered the entire abyss, making it impossible to see anything more than five meters away.
What lay below was unknown.
What kind of crisis would appear was also unknown.
Whether there would be any opportunities was even more unknown.
Perhaps there were no opportunities below, only crisis upon crisis. Perhaps there were heavenly treasures that could lead to breakthroughs, or precious herbs that could be made into healing medicine...
Everything was uncertain.
Duan Chen lowered his head and looked at the platform five meters below them.
There was indeed a distance of five meters.
But this was the closest platform.
He looked at Jun Ci beside him and asked, "Can you guarantee you can jump there? Do you need me to take you?"
A joke!
A man cannot say no!
Even more so, he cannot say he is incapable in front of any man!
Jun Ci immediately said, "I can, no problem, trust me."
Seeing Jun Ci's confident demeanor, Duan Chen didn't insist on carrying him.
He nodded, and the worry in his heart began to climb, feeling as if something was slipping beyond his control.
Then, without hesitation, Duan Chen pushed off with the tip of his toes and landed on the platform five meters diagonally below him.
Behind him, Jun Ci followed closely, their footsteps light, like a cat's.
However, this level of jump was not enough to stop them.
Then, as if they had completely let go, the two of them continued to jump down the visible platforms, rapidly approaching the bottom of the cliff.
