Chapter 50: The Competition
Xiao Ling looked around and made sure that there was no miserable white hand, and according to the death curse, even if there was an accident, it would be Pang Yan who would die next, not himself.
Looking at this ice ditch, Xiao Ling still had a certain degree of confidence in his current skills, and said, "Don't hesitate, everyone, just me." ”
As he spoke, he took off the mountaineering backpack on his back, handed it to Sun Tao, and said, "Wait for me to pass, you throw the rope over, I will find a way to find a place to stabilize, and everyone will use the rope to glide over." ”
Sun Tao showed a look of struggle on his face, and then nodded decisively: "Okay, Xiao Ling, I believe in your skills, this ice ditch should not be difficult for you." ”
Xiao Ling smiled, asked Sun Tao for a military waist knife, inserted the two waist knives behind his waist, prepared a little, smiled at everyone, bowed down, poked his feet down first, grabbed the ice cube that was exposed on the side with both hands, and began to slide down.
The ice gully is 100 meters deep, very steep, almost at a right angle of 90 degrees, but fortunately there are a large number of protruding ice ridges on the surface that can be used to borrow force.
Xiao Ling quickly slid down under everyone's noses, his hands constantly stabilizing his body's speed with the help of the ice ridges that appeared on both sides.
Zhou Kesheng, Yu Tingting and the others all showed nervous expressions and looked down.
Soon Xiao Ling slid down for more than ten meters, everyone stood aside to watch, Sun Tao found a strong huge icicle, tied one end of the rope tightly around the icicle, and the other end tied a piece of ice about the size of two or three fists, just waiting for Xiao Ling to reach the opposite side, he threw the ice cube tied to the rope, because the ice ditch was too deep, the rope could not reach a length of hundreds of meters, and Xiao Ling could not carry the rope with him, so he could only use this method to throw the rope over.
Venerable Mazha watched Xiao Ling quickly slide down for more than ten meters, and suddenly said, "I'll go down with him and take care of each other." ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and slid down, but before everyone could stop him, they saw him sticking to the hundred-meter ice wall at an almost ninety-degree right angle.
Compared with Xiao Ling's caution, Venerable Mazha was much more casual, and easily caught up with Xiao Ling, and everyone pinched a cold sweat for him.
Gliding to Xiao Ling's side, Venerable Mazha reached out and grabbed a protruding ice ridge, and with the help of his arm strength, he hung himself on the ice wall, smiled at Xiao Ling with teeth, and then let go of his hand, and immediately surpassed Xiao Ling.
Seeing Xiao Ling's secret tongue, this Mazha Venerable's skills are really good, and he can't tell that he is already eighty-seven years old.
Li Zhibao said with a look of shame: "Compared with the Venerable, we are far behind, how did he practice this skill?" ”
Zhou Kesheng frowned and said slowly: "This Mazha Venerable is deeply hidden, and it is not simple. ”
The others watched Xiao Ling and Venerable Mazha go one after the other, and went down the sloping wall of this ice ditch, the figures of the two became smaller and smaller, and soon turned into two small black dots, and they gradually descended to the bottom of the hundred-meter-deep ditch.
Going down and sliding down with the help of the ice wall, as long as you stabilize your body, it is not difficult, the real difficulty is to get to the opposite side, and then climb up a hundred meters with the help of the ice edge, that is the real time to test your physical fitness, even the well-trained Sun Tao and Qin Yang are not sure that they will be able to climb up, which is why they were so hesitant before.
Liu Guangsheng and Du Changde have been carrying submachine guns all the time, staring at Xiao Ling and Mazha Venerable from a distance, in case there is any accident around, in case there is an attack by a fierce beast, they need to shoot at the first time to help and shoot the attacking beast.
Fortunately, the two of them went down to the bottom of the ice ditch one after another, and they didn't see any beasts appear for the time being.
"Venerable, you are too powerful, let's compare again, who climbs up first?" Xiao Ling went down to the bottom of the ditch, and when he saw that Venerable Mazha was one step faster than himself, he couldn't help but smile, he was a little unconvinced by Venerable Maza.
Just kidding, he has eaten and drunk a lot these days, and his physical strength has increased amazingly, and now his physical strength and strength are several times that of normal young people, even Sun Tao and Qin Yang are far from being his opponents, and Xiao Ling is full of confidence in his physical fitness, how can he not believe that Venerable Maza, an eighty-seven-year-old man, can still be compared to himself?
Venerable Mazha smiled slightly, "Okay, then let's start." After speaking, he followed the ice wall, used his hands and feet together, reached out and grabbed the two protruding ice ridges in front of him, and began to climb up.
Not to be outdone, Xiao Ling followed closely.
This time, both of them showed amazing physical fitness, with the help of both hands to climb the protruding ice ridges and ice cubes or the gaps between the ice walls, alternating hands and feet, and constantly going up, as fast as an ape.
Sun Tao, Li Zhibao, Yu Tingting and others were stunned and amazed at each other.
Xiao Ling and Venerable Maza's physical strength was completely beyond their imagination, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that two modern people would be able to climb such a steep ice wall with their hands and move so quickly, and there was even an old man in his eighties.
This completely upends their previous perceptions.
Qin Yang sighed for a while and said: "The ancients said that the eaves and walls are just like that, Xiao Ling and this Mazha Venerable are both people with unique skills, and I really believe that there is light skill now." ”
Sun Tao shook his head and said: "It's not enough to do light work, but it's possible to say parkour." ”
Qin Yang said: "Even if it's parkour, I'm afraid I can't do it like them." ”
"It is possible for some athletes who practice rock climbing all year round to do it, but it is unbelievable that Xiao Ling and Venerable Mazha can do this." Sun Tao took a deep breath and said slowly.
After a while, the two of them climbed more than fifty meters from the bottom of the ice ditch, and there were no ice ridges or gaps in some places above, and there was no place to borrow strength, Xiao Ling took out the military waist knife from behind him, forcefully inserted the knife into the ice wall, and then handed another knife to Venerable Maza.
No matter how powerful Venerable Mazha is, he can't climb the ice wall without any external force, so he can only take the knife, and like Xiao Ling, borrow a saber to dig a gap in the ice wall where his hands and feet can climb with his hands and feet.
This time, the two did not compete with each other again, but helped each other, and in the end, Xiao Ling and Venerable Mazha climbed onto the opposite ice almost at the same time.
When he arrived on the other side, Xiao Ling lay on the ground in a big shape and let out a long breath.
Even with his and Maza's amazing physical abilities, climbing up from a steep ice wall up to a height of 100 meters requires a lot of physical exertion, and he needs to rest.
