My Billionaire Husband

At this point, Harriet said quietly, “Mr. Cohen, it’s useless for us to climb to the top like this.”

Leo froze for a moment and asked, “Why?”

Harriet said, “Because this is the place that leads to the coffin suspension burial at the top of the mountain, and the cliffs around the mountain are ten thousand feet below. I once travelled to a country where the path is exactly the same as this, and it seems that we are not lucky tonight.”

Leo said with a shudder in his body, “But when I looked up at the artificial lake, I didn’t find any coffins hanging above the rock face.”

Harriet said, “The coffin should be overhanging on the other side, if you don’t believe me you can confirm my words later. According to the words of the feng shui master, the coffin is sitting in the direction of north facing south. The natural man-made lake we came up to is the north side, and the coffin faces the south side, so the east side must be the village.”

Leo mused for a moment and smiled excitedly, “According to you, I understand, the east side must be the main island, which means that the main island should be a big village, which has already been occupied by pirates.”

Harriet sighed and said dejectedly, “Yes, that’s true, but will it work? The key is that we can’t get down. The place where the hanging coffin is buried is usually a place with steep hanging walls, there is absolutely no place where we can go up or down.”

Leo laughed, “There are always more ways than difficulties, I will think of a way. Come on, let’s go to the top and find a place to sleep first, otherwise there is no way to fight tomorrow.”

When Harriet saw Leo’s face full of confidence, her heart flinched and she was also quickly energized all over, her disheveled mood was gone at once, and she couldn’t help but say, “I like a confident man.”

As soon as these words came out, Harriet felt wrong again and blushed all of a sudden.

With that, the group continued on their way to the top of the hill.

Although the journey was eerie, no monsters were seen to appear, such as bears, giant apes, leopards, wolves and the like appeared.

After walking upwards in this way for about half an hour, Leo finally came to a large cave.

When Leo shone his torch, he was immediately filled with horror.

Harriet screamed in fright, and she hugged Leo in one go, closing her eyes tightly in death.

It turned out that the ground was full of eerie white bones.

Leo hurriedly spoke out, “Don’t be afraid, these dead people have all been dead for decades, what are you afraid of? Will they still rise up and eat you? Haha.”

Red Rose also laughed, “Miss Wallace used to like to read horror and spiritual novels, and after reading too much, that’s how she reacted.”

Only when she heard that, Harriet opened her eyes, and she immediately let go of the hands that were hugging Leo, her feet still trembling non-stop.

“Come on, let’s go to the top of the hill and see what’s going on. In case it doesn’t work, we’ll have to go back again. Alas, what a time of calamity.”

Leo said with a smile, and then he led them both on to the top of the hill again.

After a dozen or so stone stairways, there was the skylight, and when they stepped out of it, they were at the top of the hill.

The top of the mountain was also rocky, mostly yellow waxstone, which hasda crystal clear surface, so the top was not overgrown, but had a few sky-high rock cypress trees.

The summit was not very large, estimated to be a thousand square metres or so. The moonlight was still very bright and low at this time of year, giving the wrong impression as if it could be touched by a hand.

Leo immediately told everyone to turn off their torches and then walked to the south by the light of the moon.

Leo had Harriet’s night vision binoculars for him to use.

Looking down the cliff with his night-vision binoculars, Leo really found numerous coffins hanging in the middle of the mountainside, so he laughed and said, “Harriet, you are really a master fortune teller.”

Harriet said smugly, “Of course, do you want to learn? I will teach you for free.” After saying that, she laughed out loud.

Leo put down his binoculars and said jokingly, “Yes, but I don’t really have the time, I’m so busy every day.”

The group came back to the east and Leo picked up his night-vision binoculars again and looked ahead.

At this point he was surprised to find that about five thousand metres ahead there were indeed village houses faintly visible.

These villages were surrounded by moso bamboo forests.

Leo laughed again, “Miss Wallace, you are really smart, there really is a village ahead.”

Harriet said with a smile, “Please don’t keep praising me, I don’t have anything tasty for you to eat.”

Leo shone his binoculars down the mountain again. He visually measured the distance at the foot of the mountain, which was about a hundred metres high.

Then with a disheartened sigh, he said, “It’s just a pity that the cliff is so deep, it seems there is no way for you two to go down, so I’ll try.”

Red Rose asked, “Mr. Cohen, how deep do you think it is approximately to the valley at the bottom of the mountain?”

Leo said quietly, “The depth is about one hundred and fifty metres, I can try to climb down with my flying sabre and flying claw hook, but I also found many tree roots and protruding abrupt rocks on the cliff face. However, I can’t be sure I can land safely to the bottom, after all, one hundred and fifty metres is a terrifying height.”

Red Rose was silent for a moment and said, “Mr. Cohen, I really haven’t played at this height before, the highest is eighty meters. We fell seven or eight people by mistake during military training, fortunately each of us had a parachute ready, otherwise, everyone would have been broken into pieces. But I can try to go down there, anyway, I have no intention of going back.”

Having said that, Red Rose became depressed.

Harriet’s eyes were full of despair as she listened, and she asked, “You both go down leaving me alone up here? How outrageous! Humph!”

Leo laughed, “Miss Wallace, you can’t fight this battle, you’d better wait in peace. When we’ve eliminated the pirates, we’ll come to pick you up and return to Eagle Country.”

Harriet’s face turned pale with anger as she stomped her foot and said, “No! I will jump!”

Leo sighed helplessly and said, “There is a way, I’ll walk down alone towards the stone level, go to the naturally formed artificial lake and cut the rattan, connect the rattan to length, and then you should be able to go down. It’s four o’clock, I’ll be back before dawn.”

As he said this, Leo looked at his watch.

But Red Rose said, “Mr. Cohen, do you think it’s easy? You have to look all over the mountain, and it’s not easy to connect it to the length of more than 100 metres. I advice you to give up the idea.”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Harriet suddenly laughed out loud as she said, “Don’t you think we’re a bunch of fools?”

Leo froze for a moment and asked with a smile, “Do you have a solution?”

Harriet laughed, “Yes, I do.”
