Wu Xie was silent, and after looking down, he spoke, "If the stalagmites can't hold on, we should swing back to the bronze tree..."
"If you're lucky, you'll hit a tree trunk and be half dead."
"If you're not lucky, you'll just... hit a bronze branch and the game is over."
"Hopefully we won't be so unlucky."
Hear this.
The corner of Lao Itch's mouth twitched, and his face was filled with speechlessness. "Old Wu, are you serious? You are a disaster star. Are you counting on luck?"
Wu Xie: "(#￣～￣#)!!"
Wu Xie didn't say a word, but stared at Lao Itchi in displeasure.
Lao Itch ignored it and continued, "Okay, it's over now, I--I won't be nagging you. Now, the climbing rope is almost done, Lao Wu--
You go first?"
Wu Xie: "..."
In an instant, the word "speechless" clearly appeared on Wu Xie's face.
Wu Xie remained silent, but his eyes moved and flickered on the faces of Lao Itch and Ding Ze.
Ding Ze noticed that he knew what Wu Xie meant, so he deliberately kept silent and put on a posture of 'I don't dare to go first'.
Lao Itch was more direct, "Lao Wu, you--don't look at me. This--this is the way you thought---you came up with it. You should--you go first."
"Besides, I--I really don't have the--the courage to be the first to risk--risk my own life--to take such a risk. I'm very cowardly."
Wu Xie: "..."
The word "speechless" on his face became clearer.
Wu Xie's face turned dark, and his expression was filled with speechlessness and displeasure, which were intertwined and complicated. "Okay, I'll do it if I'm going to do it!!"
Wu Xie's words came out with a bit of gritted teeth and a risk-taking meaning. Wu Xie's face was dark, and then he said to Lao Itchi slightly fiercely, "There is not much time, don't delay. Hurry up and tie the other end of the climbing rope to the trunk of the tree."
Go on, be sure to tie it tightly!"
"Okay!" Lao Itch readily agreed, immediately moved his body, and walked quickly towards the bronze trunk.
Not long after.
The other end of the climbing rope was firmly tied to the tree trunk, and the entire climbing rope was tightened into a straight line.
"Okay, here on the rope - on this side, I made a special knot. After we pass - on the other side, we can untie this knot on the other side.
Retract the rope."
Everything is ready, Lao Itch said to Wu Xie.
"Is there such a knot? Where did you learn this skill?" Wu Xie asked.
Lao Itch: "Hey, in prison."
Wu Xie: "...Are you sure it's firm?"
Lao Itchy: "OK!!"
Wu Xie didn't ask any more questions. He stretched out his hand and pulled hard on the climbing rope. After confirming that both sides were indeed strong, he took off his backpack with an obviously nervous expression and handed it to Lao Itchi.
Lao Itch took it and said, "You--you must be careful, don't--don't really fall."
When Wu Xie heard the words, he was extremely nervous. The veins on his forehead suddenly bulged out, and his anger was extremely strong. "Get out!! Don't be so crow-mouthed!!!"
Lao Itch: "Okay, yes----I'm sorry."
Wu Xie didn't hold on and took a deep breath, "I'm leaving!"
The words that really conveyed the feeling of a brave man going to die entered the air. Without any further delay, Wu Xie tightened his black face, raised his feet, and began to move.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Every step seemed so heavy, extremely heavy.
See this scene.
'The wind is rustling and the water is cold, and a strong man will never return once he leaves.'
Ding Ze couldn't help but think of this sentence, and felt that from a certain perspective, this sentence was really suitable for the scene in front of him at this moment.
For a moment, Ding Ze was thinking wildly. It wasn't until Wu Xie's feet gradually left the bronze branches and his whole body was officially hanging upside down on the tight climbing rope that he stopped.
-------------------
‘Creak!’
Wu Xie was hanging upside down on the climbing rope.
The climbing rope immediately tightened further and let out a scream that sounded really exciting.
A 'scream' sounded.
Wu Xie immediately shuddered, his eyes suddenly closed tightly, and his mouth even more tightly... In this series of actions, the meaning of fright was clearly displayed.
See the situation.
Lao Itch was frightened and anxious, his eyes suddenly widened, his tone was extremely nervous, and he shouted, "Old Wu!"
A cry came out.
At the same time, the irritating "squeaking" sound quickly weakened.
In the blink of an eye.
The 'creaking' sound completely dissipated, and the climbing rope showed no signs of breaking, but maintained a tight posture.
Wu Xie felt it and slowly opened his eyes. Then, little by little, he slowly turned his head and looked down.
Look at this.
"I'm so sorry!!"
Wu Xie was startled, cursed, and quickly turned his head, not daring to look down again, and kept chanting, "Amitabha, Amitabha..."
"Xu, it seems no--no problem," Lao Itch heard and breathed a sigh of relief, "Old Wu, don't---stop dragging your feet, crawl quickly! Otherwise, hang---hang on it, even more
Danger!"
"You damn thing, don't rush me!!" Hearing Lao Itch's urging, Wu Xie retorted with great displeasure. Then, he took a long, deep breath and started to move.
The old itch didn't bother me anymore.
Ding Ze still remained quiet.
The two of them took out cigarettes in perfect agreement, lit one each, and quietly watched Wu Xie's movements.
in such gaze.
Time gradually passes by second by second...
At the same time, due to Wu Xie's movement, the climbing rope that was so tight was shaking violently all the time, as if it was suffering from some kind of disease...
"What should I say? This scene is so exciting just looking at it!"
Witnessing this scene with his own eyes, Ding Zeru thought, and then thought that he himself would have to go there soon... He had to admit that he was indeed a little panicked.
Of course, he didn't show his panic.

'It's not easy to play a master.'
Ding Ze thought about something for a moment.
Time continues to pass.
Before I knew it, about three minutes passed.
It could almost be said that Wu Xie was moving, moving and moving, and finally he was about to successfully reach the stalagmite on the opposite side.
'Gulu!'
When Lao Chu saw it, his throat moved and he made a voice, "Lao Wu, come on, come on, we'll be there soon!"
Wu Xie didn't reply, gritted his teeth and continued crawling.
One second, two seconds...five seconds.
When his body reached the end of the climbing rope and hung on the cave floor where several stalagmites were located, Wu Xie lowered his head and quickly glanced down. His legs, which were half hanging on the climbing rope, suddenly softened and hung down.
Arrive at the cave floor.
Immediately afterwards, his arms released the climbing rope and quickly hugged the nearest stalagmite. He was like a deflated rubber ball. He hugged the stalagmite and collapsed to the ground. Then, his face turned pale, sweating profusely, and he gulped.
respite……
Ding Ze saw it and sighed silently.
In the original novel, Lao Itch is the last one to climb the climbing rope.
He has no intention of changing this order... Although, as the plot has developed to this point, many things have changed, and he is not very sure how the subsequent plot will evolve.
However, no matter what, it is better to change less.
What's more, if he was the last one to leave, and then, a few minutes later, due to the climbing rope breaking, or some other accident, he hit the rock wall hard and broke several ribs...
‘Hey! Comrade Lao Itch, I’ll leave this loss to you.’
With this thought in mind, even though he felt a little panicked, Ding Ze still had no ink stains and decisively said to Lao Itch, "I'll be the first to leave."
Lao Itch had no doubts and simply nodded, "Okay."
Ding Ze didn't say anything else, took a deep breath, raised his feet and moved, imitating Wu Xie's action just now, hanging upside down on the climbing rope, and moved towards the opposite side little by little.
A few seconds later.
'Hey! Don't panic! Don't panic! It's not a big problem!'
'As long as I don't look down, I can pretend I don't know what's down there!'
'Yes, that's it!'
'Hold on, it's only a few dozen meters, you'll be over in a while.'
My body was hanging in the air, and I felt panic boiling in my chest in an extremely real way.
Ding Ze could only move and mutter silently, trying to comfort himself.
