With an altitude of 848 meters, Turtle Mountain is a younger brother compared to several other famous mountains in China.

But even so, it will not be easy to conquer it.

As the whistle sounded for the Mountaineering Challenge, everyone rushed forward in the early morning sunshine......

Ding Shuo followed behind Chen Ziye, and the two climbed at a constant speed, not rushing to the front, nor falling at the end.

Chen Ziye glanced back at Ding Shuo, who was following behind him, then looked around him, and then looked behind him: "Huh, didn't they follow?"

Ding Shuo looked back when he heard this: "It's strange, they were still following behind just now, why did they fall behind so quickly?"

said it on his lips, but he couldn't help but guess in his heart:

These two guys, in order to avoid the leaves, should they run into the grove on the side to be sweet?

Chen Ziye pursed his lips: "Ignore them, let's continue to climb." ”

Although she doesn't like Gao Zirui very much, she is still very relieved to have that guy by Lulu's side.

Ding Shuo nodded: "Hmm!"

At the beginning of the climbing route, the terrain was relatively flat, and every time you ran a certain distance, you would climb more than a dozen steps.

But as the altitude gets higher and higher, soon some tourists lose their strength and gradually slow down their climb.

And the few tourists who rushed to the front at the beginning were soon overtaken by several young people in silver mountaineering suits due to physical exhaustion, and they were left far behind.

With the passage of time, the distance between each tourist is gradually widening, and even many tourists have given up the idea of competing for the top ten, from climbing to walking, and some are here to make up the number, directly on the roadside bench to sit down and rest, some talk and laugh chatter.

Twenty minutes passed before I knew it.

According to the climbing progress, Ding Shuo and Chen Ziye have climbed to a pavilion at an altitude of 150 meters.

Although it is 150 meters above sea level, the trail is one-third of the entire length of the mountain.

This will also mean that the road ahead will be steeper and steeper.

The steeper the terrain, the more physical energy is consumed to climb, so the next climb will test who has better physical fitness.

"Huhu...... Ahead of us, ...... How many more people are there?" asked Chen Ziye in a rough dress.

Ding Shuo shook his head, his mouth was also panting, but his breath was calmer than Chen Ziye: "I'm not sure, ...... There were probably forty or fifty more. ”

Chen Ziye's face was solemn: "Huhu...... I am confident that I will surpass most tourists, but ...... Call...... The two mountaineering teams that passed by us just now ...... It seems to be very professional, especially ...... Whew...... The team in the blue mountaineering suits. ”

Ding Shuo nodded.

There were indeed two teams that passed past them just now, and the mountaineering team in silver mountaineering suits was four people, each of whom was well-proportioned and extremely explosive in running.

At a glance, you can tell that they should be mountaineering enthusiasts and often come out to climb mountains!

The other team wearing blue mountaineering suits was five people, although they didn't look as professional as the silver mountaineering team, their tactics still surprised Ding Shuo.

Although there were five of them, four of them took turns putting their hands on the shoulders of the young man with short flaxen hair, and pushing him forward from behind.

It seems that he wants the young man with short flaxen hair to retain his strength and make the final sprint.

Therefore, according to the current climbing speed of Ding Shuo and the others, it is a bit difficult to break into the top ten, let alone come out on top.

But Ding Shuo was embarrassed to say directly to Chen Ziye: "Otherwise, I won't play with you later......"

Chen Ziye wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and began to speed up.

Ding Shuo was shocked, yo, the little girl can, she still has the strength to speed up.

The organizers of this Cloud Turtle Mountain Mountaineering Challenge are still very attentive, every 100 meters above sea level, there is a service point, each service point has medical staff, and you can also receive mineral water for free.

Ding Shuo received two bottles of mineral water at the service point at an altitude of 300 meters, and asked the service staff by the way: "Dude, how many people have I run over in front of me?"

The service staff stroked a "three" and a "five" towards Ding Shuo, Ding Shuo nodded, took the mineral water and accelerated to catch up with Chen Ziye in front, and handed over a bottle of mineral water: "I asked the service staff just now, and there are 34 people in front." ”

"Hmm!" Chen Ziye nodded, a voice came out of her nose, in order to keep her breathing as steady as possible, she didn't want to say a word more.

took the mineral water handed over by Ding Shuo, unscrewed the lid of the mineral water, took a small sip, and then poured the rest on his head.

Five minutes later, the two came to an altitude of 350 meters, where there was a fork in the road, and according to the signs, both roads led to the top of the mountain.

The steep terrain on the right, passing through the Brave Ladder, is relatively more consuming and tests the physical strength and endurance of the challenger.

The one on the left is relatively gentle and winding downhill, but the trail is several times longer than the one on the right.

"Which one?" Chen Ziye asked Ding Shuo, who had only climbed half the distance, and she already felt that her legs were almost no longer her own.

"Are you physically good, if you want to make it to the top ten, just the one on the right!" Ding Shuo made a decisive choice.

Chen Ziye nodded: "I'm okay, then listen to you, go to the right!"

The path on the right is getting steeper and steeper, and in some sections, the slope of the stone steps has reached fifty or sixty degrees.

During this period, Ding Shuo glanced at the mineral water bottle in the woods next to him, his dark pupils contracted slightly, and said to Chen Ziye in front of him: "They are taking a shortcut." ”

Chen Ziye's little face turned pale: "Huh?"

Ding Shuo pointed to a mineral water bottle in the woods on the side: "That mineral water bottle is very new, the pinched bottle has not rebounded, it should have just been thrown away, if they climb along the route, they should not throw the mineral water bottle to that position, so I estimate that they are taking a shortcut in order to shorten the distance climbed......"

Chen Ziye glanced at the steep slope next to the mineral water bottle along the direction pointed by Ding Shuo, and the corner of his eyes couldn't help twitching: "I'll go, huhu...... Are they dying?"

Ding Shuo narrowed his eyes: "How can you say that the prize money for the first place is also 100,000 yuan......"

Chen Ziye understood what Ding Shuo meant, although 100,000 yuan was not much, it was enough to tempt many people to take risks for it.

"Whew...... So what should we do?" Chen Ziye was a little entangled.

"Do you want to take the top ten?" Ding Shuo asked rhetorically.

"Of course I want to ......," Chen Ziye nodded.

"Then let's take a shortcut!" Ding Shuo proposed.

"But I'...... Call...... I haven't lived long enough......" Chen Ziye hesitated.

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Ding Shuo's soft eyes revealed an indescribable perseverance.

"Are you taking care of an eggplant?"

Chen Ziye glanced at Ding Shuo's eyes and said in her heart, but at the moment when the two sides looked at each other, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was very reliable, and then nodded in a ghostly manner: "That's good! Listen to you, let's take a shortcut......

The two climbed over the guardrail of the hiking path and climbed up a steep and winding slope to start the jungle.

During this period, Chen Ziye's left foot was not steady, and he suddenly screamed, but Ding Shuo reached out in time with a big hand and grabbed his wrist steadily: "Don't panic, step on it and climb again!"

"Congratulations to the player, rescuing yoga instructor Chen Ziye and getting [Beginner Bait] X1......"

While grabbing Chen Ziye's wrist, the reward of the game came to his ears.

Chen Ziye stared at Ding Shuo's eyes, his eyes showed a hint of gratitude, and he nodded vigorously: "Hmm!"

"That's it, let's change positions, I'm in front!" Ding Shuo said to Chen Ziye, took out a rope slightly thicker than a shoelace from his pocket, and handed one end to Chen Ziye: "Tie it to your waist and follow me tightly, it will be safer!"
