Chapter 309: It's too late, then it's too late
At this moment, Lin Ze suddenly caught sight of an extremely steep and dangerous cliff not far ahead.
This cliff is towering into the clouds, with an almost vertical cliff wall. There is mist and clouds below, and it is bottomless.
However, this unexpected discovery gave Lin Ze a flash of inspiration, and he instantly thought of a good plan.
He quickened his pace without hesitation and rushed towards the edge of the cliff like an arrow.
When he was near the edge of the cliff, he used all his strength to jump, and leaped off the cliff like an eagle spreading its wings and soaring.
The group of men in black chased all the way here, and when they reached the edge of the cliff, they could only watch Lin Ze disappear into the vast sea of clouds.
Looking at the unfathomable bottom of the cliff that seemed to lead directly to the abyss of hell, the leading man in black showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, he finally gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
After all, no one knows what kind of dangers and unknowns are hidden under the cliff. If you chase them rashly, you might not only fail to catch Lin Ze, but also lose your own life and the lives of your companions.
As for Lin Ze, after jumping off the cliff, he quickly untied a pre-prepared rope from his waist and tied one end of it firmly to the root of a big tree growing on the cliff.
Then, he held the rope tightly with both hands and climbed down the cliff carefully.
The whole process is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss and be smashed to pieces.
Fortunately, Lin Ze had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was very agile. In addition, he was brave and careful, so he finally reached the bottom of the cliff safely.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Lin Ze let out a long sigh, and his tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
"Huh...finally safe for now." He said to himself.
However, before he could fully recover from the shock, he suddenly realized that something was wrong - the backpack that was originally bulging on his back was now empty!
Lin Ze was startled and quickly opened the backpack to check carefully. As expected, the vital item inside had disappeared without a trace.
It goes without saying that it must have been lost accidentally while escaping.
"Damn it!" Lin Ze couldn't help but curse under his breath, feeling extremely upset.
But now that things have come to this, complaining will be of no use. The most urgent thing is to quickly find back the lost things.
So, after a short rest, Lin Ze had to cheer up again and started the difficult journey of searching along the same route he came.
Lin Ze walked and looked around.
The further he went, the more anxious he became.
That item was too important to him. Without it, none of his subsequent plans could be implemented.
At this moment, in the silence, Lin Ze's keen ears suddenly caught a very subtle sound.
The sound was like a meteor flashing across the night sky, fleeting, but he still noticed it.
He stopped immediately, standing still like a sculpture, and listened attentively to find out where the faint sound came from.
Soon, he determined that the sound came from a quiet forest not far away.
The woods looked hazy and mysterious in the dim moonlight.
Lin Ze didn't hesitate at all, and tiptoed towards the woods, each step as light as a cat, for fear of scaring away the person who made the noise.
When he was within a few steps of the woods, he quickly hid behind a sturdy tree, stuck half of his head out, and carefully observed the movements in the woods.
In the dim moonlight, I could only see a blurry figure squatting on the ground, fiddling with something with his hands.
Lin Ze opened his eyes wide and looked carefully. When he saw clearly what the man was holding, he was shocked - wasn't that the backpack he had lost not long ago?
Looking at the man's figure and movements again, Lin Ze instantly recognized that this person was actually one of the group of people who had fought fiercely with him on the cliff before!
It turned out that these guys did not give up and gave up chasing him.
On the contrary, they were extremely cunning and went around the bottom of the cliff, waiting for Lin Ze to fall into the trap.
Thinking of this, Lin Ze felt a chill rising up his spine.
But he quickly took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and began to calmly think about strategies to deal with the crisis at hand.
After a brief and intense thinking, Lin Ze decided to take the initiative to solve the problem.
He would first quietly approach the enemy who was rummaging through the backpack, then take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launch a surprise attack with lightning speed to take back his own backpack in one fell swoop.
Having made up his mind, Lin Ze moved cautiously like a ghost.
He avoided the dead branches and leaves that might make noise under his feet, and moved forward slowly, keeping his body close to the tree trunks.
Every time he took a step, he would pause for a moment to make sure that he did not attract the other party's attention before continuing forward.
In this way, Lin Ze gradually shortened the distance between himself and the target.
Seeing that he was about to successfully approach that person, Lin Ze's heartbeat became more and more violent, but he still suppressed his inner excitement, clenched his fists tightly, and stared at the front with full concentration.
Finally, he waited for the best time to strike.
It happened in a flash. Lin Ze seized the opportunity, exerted force with his feet, and rushed out like an arrow from a bow.
Lin Ze was as fast as the wind and as powerful as a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he had quietly appeared behind the enemy like a ghost.
His long, powerful hand stretched out like lightning, accurately grasped the strap of the enemy's backpack, and pulled it hard.
This sudden change caught the enemy completely off guard, and he staggered forward a few steps involuntarily.
At this moment, Lin Ze took the backpack with smooth and seamless movements.
Then, without hesitation, he kicked up and kicked the enemy hard.
The kick was so powerful that it knocked the enemy to the ground.
Before the enemy could get up from the ground, a gleaming dagger appeared in Lin Ze's hand.
With lightning speed, he put the dagger against the enemy's throat and shouted in a low voice: "If you don't want to die, stay still and don't move!" At this moment, Lin Ze's eyes were as cold as stars, revealing a chilling cruelty and determination.
Faced with such a fierce attack and threat, the enemy was already scared out of their wits and trembling all over.
He raised his hands tremblingly to show his willingness to surrender.
