Chapter 371: Alpine Pendulum 2 (Part I)

This freezing rain came somewhat suddenly, when the dense drizzle fell on the fortress, it made General Gorg feel uneasy, and the undead in the canyon also began their chanting early, he alone with his old horse came to the wooden bridge of the Black River again, the peak of the dead in the distance was already shrouded in clouds, he could not see anything, in the evening, the rain became heavier and heavier, wetting his bearskin coat, the bell of "jingle bell" came from the canyon of the dead, General Gorg saw two horses come out of the mist, They were soaking wet, and they looked exhausted.

The two horses slowly crossed the wooden bridge, General Gorg took the reins, and the horses stood obediently.

"They're going to make it, they're going to make it, right?" General Gorg asked in a low voice, stroking the horse's neck.

The old horse named Dick snorted loudly, and General Gurg laughed: "I know you've worked hard. ”

"High Priest of Kelland, may your soul guide them." General Gorge looked at the gray sky in the distance, it would not be long before it would be dark, and at this time he did not know that Wang Xingguo was facing a severe test.

Wang Xingguo tried his best to do the horizontal pendulum movement, but the wind did not seem to intend to let him succeed, every time the horizontal pendulum passed, Wang Xingguo felt that the wind was preventing him from increasing the amplitude, Wang Xingguo's pendulum movement The vertical height from the lowest point to the highest point was almost 5 meters, Wang Xingguo used up his strength to feed, or the last few tens of centimeters.

Once the swing starts, it can't stop, it must be constantly accelerated, otherwise the amplitude will drop soon, after Chen Badai adjusted the length of the rope, he grabbed one end of the rope, if he let go, Wang Xingguo would fall into the abyss with the rope.

Wang Xingguo and Chen Badai had trained in the horizontal swinging technique, but this time Chen Badai felt that Wang Xingguo's time was a little too long, his hand holding the rope had stiffened, the wind continued to howl, and the ice crystals that fell from the clouds were getting bigger and bigger, and now they had turned into hail the size of quail eggs!

"Wang Xingguo......" Xia Ruobing shouted worriedly, she was behind Chen Badai, she saw Chen Badai leaning over, the rope hanging on the rock plug swaying rhythmically, but she never heard Wang Xingguo's voice.

How can Wang Xingguo have the energy to communicate with Xia Ruobing at this time? He accelerated sideways again, this time the wind was a little lighter, and Wang Xingguo stretched out his hand to reach the protruding rock wall, which was still a little close.

I had to do it again, the rope began to reverberate, and Wang Xingguo was unwilling to look at the rock wall just a stone's throw away, so he had to make another big pendulum to accelerate.

The damn wind is finally a little lighter, but the hail is merciless, Wang Xingguo's physical strength is almost exhausted, and now that the wind is small, Wang Xingguo still has a chance to make a last stand.

The rope swung back to the highest point, and began to accelerate downward, Wang Xingguo clicked on the rock wall a few times, and at the lowest point, he began to use the power of the rope swing up, and began to accelerate on the rock wall, his eyes were fixed on the bulge, which was the only way for them to pass through this cross-section!

"Wang Xingguo, you can do it!" Wang Xingguo felt a little stuffy in his chest, the continuous large amount of exercise, coupled with the low oxygen content of the high mountains, he was now a little hypoxic, he felt a blur in front of him, but then immediately lifted his spirit, he knew that his physical strength had reached the limit, if he did not succeed this time, there might not be another chance.

In the last few meters, Wang Xingguo kicked the rock wall a few times, added more strength when the horizontal speed was about to reach zero, and then stretched out his right arm as much as he could.

Chen Badai felt that the force of the rope became the smallest again, and each time he swung sideways, the force became smaller twice, which were the two highest points of the pendulum, his hands were almost unbearable, his inclined posture just let the cold wind smash the ice crystals on his face, and the sweat of his whole body had already been blown through by the cold wind, and he tensed the muscles of his whole body to fight against the cold wind.

"I got it!" I finally heard Wang Xingguo's voice.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as they could cross this cross-section today, and continue to move forward for less than a few hundred meters, it was the platform where they could camp, and everyone had long had enough of the wind here.

Pandey wore the animal skin sent by the fortress, and then he felt better, this big bear from the north was tortured by the freezing rain here and lost his temper, and the valuable jacket was not as good as a beast skin!

Hearing the news of Wang Xingguo's success, Chen Badai's already frozen hand unconsciously loosened, he needed to move a little to let the blood in his fingers flow again, he glanced at his right hand holding the rope, and his fingers were already white.

Wang Xingguo was able to pick up the edge of this raised rock, there was still one step away from success, his three fingers were already stiff, he was stubbornly picking at the edge of the stone, but he hadn't been able to adjust his posture, this time the horizontal swing was still a little bit worse, Wang Xingguo used all his strength to eat, three fingers pulled the body, as long as he let him pick up his left hand, he could climb up.

"Hold on!" Wang Xingguo secretly cheered himself up in his heart, his fingers were completely unconscious, and he turned his body with difficulty, trying to put his left hand on it.

Xia Ruobing ventured to lie on the edge of the cliff and look at it, she saw Wang Xingguo slowly adjusting his posture, she felt that Wang Xingguo couldn't hold on, and her heart rose to her throat.

"Pop ......" a hailstone smashed on Wang Xingguo's helmet, Wang Xingguo's eyes were shattered by the ice ballast, he blinked hard, he had to succeed!

"Pop ......" another hailstone smashed on Wang Xingguo's right hand climbing on the side of the stone, Wang Xingguo only felt that the back of his hand hurt suddenly, and before he could react, his fingers had been detached from the rock wall.

Chen Badai saw the rope on the fixed point shake a little, and just shouted "Oh no" in his heart! Seeing that the first fixing point had collapsed, he clenched the rope hard, but it was still a step too late, Wang Xingguo fell too fast, Chen Badai was pulled by the rope, he didn't stabilize his footsteps, and hit the rock wall headlong......

Chen Badai's nose was hit with blood, but he still clung to the rope, and Wang Xingguo's life was in his hands.

Xia Ruobing saw that Chen Badai was dragged by the rope and lost his center of gravity, so he hurriedly went over to help him, and the two of them finally stabilized their position.

Wang Xingguo...... How are you? Xia Ruobing couldn't see Wang Xingguo, she could only shout anxiously.

"I ...... I can't go up...... It's too windy! Wang Xingguo shouted, he had done his best.

"Someone help, pull him up!" Xia Ruobing shouted.

"I'm just going to say he's not going to make it." Dick didn't move, he clenched his hands, curled up in a ball, and muttered quietly.

Sherpas, Pandey and Mr. Min caught up, Chen Badai could only hold the rope to control the situation at this time, he alone could not pull Wang Xingguo up, Wang Xingguo was also exhausted, with the help of everyone, finally climbed back to this small rock shed.

Wang Xingguo's face was pale, his whole body was shivering from the cold, his fingers could no longer clench his fists, his whole body was already soaked, the cold wind mercilessly took away his body temperature, and he was now in urgent need of heat preservation measures.

"Go to the back, I'll leave it here!" When Mr. Min saw Wang Xingguo's appearance, he knew that he would not be able to complete this horizontal swing today.

Xia Ruobing greeted him and hugged Wang Xingguo hard, hoping to give him a little warmth.

"I ...... I...... It's not ...... Stone...... It's too slippery......" Wang Xingguo explained in a trembling voice.

"I know...... I know ......" Xia Ruobing hugged him and brought him to a safe position, and when Pan Dey saw this, he covered Wang Xingguo with the animal skin on his body.

Everyone's attention was on Wang Xingguo, and no one noticed that Chen Badai was silently wiping the blood on his nose alone.

Helping Wang Xingguo aside to rest, Mr. Min looked at the weather worriedly, the wind is much lighter now, the hail that raged just now has stopped, but the temperature continues to drop, everyone's clothes are soaked, the temperature at night will be lower, if you can't quickly find a sheltered place to camp, everyone will be frozen to death under this platform tonight.

Chen Badai's brain began to ache faintly again, the bleeding of the injured nose had stopped, and he didn't feel much pain in the cold wind, he rubbed it hard, and his face was finally a little warm.

"The Eagle failed...... He can't fly......" The murmur in Chen Badai's head became clearer and clearer.

"The eagle can't fly...... Hee-hee...... They're going to freeze to death here......" Chen Badai knocked his head, but the murmur became louder.

Chen Badai looked at this cross-section, he had no choice!

When Mr. Min saw Chen Badai re-inserting the rock plug in the rock crevice and tying a knot in his seat belt with a rope, he stepped forward and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Freeze to death here! Or just pass. Chen Badai said coldly.

The sun is about to set, the temperature will be lower at night, and even if you want to retreat, time will not allow it.

Chen Badai buckled the protector on Mr. Min's seat belt: "You come to cooperate with me." ”

"You...... Want to go sideways? Mr. Min was surprised, he felt that Chen Badai could not complete this task.

"Why don't you come?" Chen Badai stared at Mr. Min.

When Mr. Min slowly put Chen Badai down again, he actually didn't have any bottom in his heart, but if he couldn't get through this place before dark, everyone's situation would be very bad, and the worst person would be himself.
