With Mu Siqing's skills, it took half an hour to climb this cliff, go up to the top of the cliff, and fix the safety rope, and then instructed Qiao Yanxue to let her help Xu Dong and the fat man first.

Xu Dong and the fat man climbed halfway up the cliff, and soon found that this road should not be the first to be walked by Mu Siqing, let alone the first to be walked by his own group, in the cracks of the rocks, sometimes you can see some pitons! There are even many places where there are artificially knocked out footholds.

In other words, the people who walked from here before are much better than the current Xu Dong and others in terms of equipment.

However, Xu Dong and the fat man, at this time, they can't complain that their equipment is not good, they all secretly "eloped", even if they buy some equipment, in a hurry, where can they buy those professional equipment and appliances.

Originally, Xu Dong and the fat man were not rock climbing masters, but there were Mu Siqing taking care of them above, and Qiao Yanxue staring at them below.

In this way, when Xu Dong and the fat man were "gentlemen" on the rock wall for a while, and when they were about to reach the top of the cliff, they finally couldn't hold on.

Especially the fat man, looking at Mu Siqing only a few meters away, under the soreness of his hands and feet, he kicked into the air, and suddenly, the fat man's whole person slid down, fortunately, the fat man was tied to the safety rope, and it was not a "whoop", but also because of the safety rope on the fat man's body, the fat man who had no basis for his hands and feet was suddenly suspended in the air, making the fat man like a salted fish to be dried, shaking in mid-air.

The fat man was in mid-air, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and scream.

At this time, Xu Dong was also taken aback, his hands and feet were weak, and he was almost hung up with the fat man.

Fortunately, Mu Siqing's hands were quick and shouted: "Don't move......"

In the midst of the shouting, Mu Siqing grabbed Xu Dong's safety rope and pulled Xu Dong to the top of the cliff in three times and two times.

It's not that Mu Siqing is eccentric, but the fat man's physique, the weight is not small, and now he is suspended in the air, if it is just Mu Siqing who pulls the fat man alone, it must be extremely difficult, but Xu Dong's physique is dozens of pounds lighter than the fat man, plus Xu Dong is about to go up to the top of the cliff at this time, Mu Siqing can pull Xu Dong almost as soon as he stretches out his hand, and if he wants to rescue the fat man, with Xu Dong's help, it will naturally be more secure.

It's just that in Mu Siqing's mind, the current situation, the pros and cons, are almost just a flash, Mu Siqing immediately judged the priorities, found the best rescue plan, and immediately stretched out his hand to pull Xu Dong first.

At this moment, Xu Dong was almost directly lifted to the top of the cliff by Mu Siqing, and before he could stand firmly, Mu Siqing shouted in a low voice: "Help......"

The fat man missed, and was hung in the air like a salted fish, Xu Dong was already anxious, and was pulled up by Mu Siqing, almost without Mu Siqing opening his mouth to command, Xu Dong himself immediately fell to the ground and grabbed the fat man's safety rope.

With Xu Dong's helper, Mu Siqing pulled the fat man's safety rope and shouted: "Pull ......"

In the midst of the screams, the two joined forces and forcibly pulled the fat man to a foothold.

It's just that the fat guy was a little scared, he was put on the ground, and he was still clutching the safety rope in his hand, and he couldn't stop screaming with his eyes closed.

This is also called "gentlemen"? Xu Dong was extremely dissatisfied and slapped the fat man on the face several times, and shouted: "Fat man, what are you yelling about, isn't this good?" Your name is ......"

The fat man slowly opened his eyes and asked Xu Dong with a frightened face: "Are you sure I'm not dead?" ”

"No...... Xu Dong said angrily: "You are safe...... It's safe...... Up to heaven ......."

"Damn, that's not dead......"

"Pull it down, hurry up, stand up, go help pull the equipment up!"

Qiao Yanxue often does some outdoor activities such as climbing, whether it is skill or experience, she can be regarded as a leader, this cliff, for her, is not difficult at all, with the help of the safety rope left, Qiao Yanxue only took less than ten minutes, to go up to the top of the cliff.

After tidying up his equipment a little, he didn't even take a breath and immediately prepared to hit the road.

It's just that the fat man was still worried that someone had walked this road, and he pestered Qiao Yanxue with nothing to say along the way and asked directly, what is going on.

Xu Dong really couldn't stand it, and helped Qiao Yanxue explain that Old Man Qiao sent out several groups of people before and after, and there were dozens of people, these people were not the same batch, they didn't follow the same path, and it was not unusual.

As soon as Xu Dong said this, the fat man felt even more strange, how did Mu Siqing know this road, could it be that he knew this road from someone! Or did someone sue her a long time ago?

Xu Dong said angrily: "Anyone who is very capable and has a lot of brains can think of something that ordinary people can't think of, but there are many such people, it is inevitable that there will always be people who want to go together, what is this called, this is called 'heroes see the same'!" ”

The fat man laughed for a while before he said, "Brother Dong, I've always been a self-proclaimed hero, but the two of us, how can you always think of things that you can't think of?" Do we call it 'disagreement' or 'not with the dog'? ”

Originally, the fat man finally found some more "esoteric" topics, so as to take this opportunity to talk to Qiao Yanxue, but Xu Dong didn't know what to do, and he was always disturbed, and the fat man was annoyed, but he, a hero, naturally didn't want to "agree" with Xu Dong.

The fat man chewed the words, turned the corner and plotted against Xu Dong, where did Xu Dong not hear the truth, his face turned red at the moment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Fatty, you dare to yin me, see how I clean you up!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Dong roared angrily while chasing after the fat man.

The fat man laughed proudly and shouted: "What do you like to chase people the most......" while avoiding Xu Dong's pursuit.

Qiao Yanxue and Mu Siqing couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly when they watched Xu Dong and the fat man chasing and fleeing, frolicking in such a place, only young people and boys like Xu Dong would do it.

It didn't take a few minutes for a few people to walk back to the intersection point, and then according to the road calculated by Mu Siqing, continue to move forward, along the way, everyone has seen the traces of many people, look at these traces, it is not one person, or a group of people have walked!

While walking, Mu Siqing couldn't help frowning, judging from the types of some food bags, mineral water bottles and other garbage discarded, at least three groups of people took the road that Mu Siqing "calculated".

How so? Even if Xu Dong said that there are coincidences that heroes see and see, how can there be so many "coincidences", and several groups of people have "coincidentally" calculated this way!

"Miss Qiao, what did the people sent out by the old man bring back, and how much do you know about the safety of their personnel?" Mu Siqing asked as she walked forward.

"You mean......" Qiao Yanxue bit her lip and paused for a moment before changing her words and said: "As far as I know, the five teams that came in front, the team with the largest number of personnel, there are twelve, and the least team has six, the total should be no less than forty people, and there are less than twenty people who took the things back and handed them over to my grandfather, as for the things they brought back, as far as I know, there are four ores, a clay pot, and two plants - but these two plants, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like they were collected from the desert, and the others are all over the place, There are more than a dozen, but they are all relatively ordinary things, like animal bones and the like. ”

Mu Siqing frowned and was silent for a long time before muttering, "Perhaps, my calculation was wrong!" ”

"You miscalculated......" Qiao Yanxue said in a lost voice.

At this time, the fat man and Xu Dong had just walked behind Mu Siqing, and the two of them asked together, "What is wrong?" ”

Mu Siqing sat down on the spot with a calm face, looked at Xu Dong, Fatty, and Qiao Yanxue, the three of them, and said very uneasily: "Originally, for safety reasons, I don't think we should go the same way as the previous groups of people, so as to avoid the dangers they have encountered, but now, it is very likely that we are walking on the road they have walked!" ”

The fat man exhaled and smiled "hehe": "Boss, this is not bad, what is that called, yes, it is called crooked, there is a road that the person in front of you has walked, walk up, Shundang!" ”

Qiao Yanxue sighed and said, "It's a pity that the people in front of us told us, perhaps, if you want to take this road, you must bring a centipede Gu, but ......"

The fat man was excited, and blurted out at the moment: "Xue'er, you know that you are going to run out secretly, why don't you bring the centipede Gu with you, look at this ......"

Qiao Yanxue shook her head, of course she wanted to take it, but it was a pity that in order to prevent Qiao Yanxue from coming, the centipede Gu would not let Qiao Yanxue touch it, and if Qiao Yanxue hadn't accompanied Mu Siyi to school, she wouldn't have been able to sneak out and "elope" at all.

Mu Siqing thought for a while before she looked at Xu Dong and the fat man worriedly, and said, "According to the information provided by Miss Qiao, the danger on this road is extremely high, and the casualty ratio will almost reach half, you two ......"

Xu Dong thought for a moment and asked, "What should we do now?" Do you keep going, or do you turn around and start all over again? ”

Qiao Yanxue bit her lip and said after a long time: "According to the previous people, in this Death Valley, you can't stay for more than three days, today, although it is only the first day we have entered the Death Valley, but this has already been half a day, and if you have to go back and start from the beginning, this time is ......."

Xu Dong nodded, now that half a day has passed, it will take at least half a day to go back and return to that meeting point, so that even if it is a wasted day, and the people who have come before said that it can't be more than three days, it is best to abide by it, after all, this is the experience they have gained with their lives!
