As the altitude gradually increases, the green color on the mountain gradually decreases. The large rocks became the main obstacle and path for them to move forward.

A group of 5 people from crossing small rocks to turning over medium stones, and finally have to climb the big rocks with their bare hands, the road is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and the machetes carried with them are no longer of much use, but many places need to climb with bare hands, and ropes have become a necessary tool for them to climb.

5 people tied the rope to everyone's waist, and the tools in their hands had changed from knives to iron locks.

The most difficult thing now is Zhang Rongrong, one of her arms is suspended, only one arm can move freely, and the worst thing is that the air is thinner and thinner the more you go up, and each of them is a little out of breath.

The wind on the mountain also began to pick up. The wind was so strong that they couldn't stand. Although it hadn't snowed yet, the wind was already blowing so hard that they couldn't open their eyes, and they felt very cool. There was no way for them to speak to each other, and everyone in front and behind them was almost a meter away, one meter away in some places, and one meter away in other places.

They came to a very smooth stone face. It is a single cylindrical lying stone about 10 meters long and 3 meters in diameter, with a very smooth surface. It stretches downward on both sides of the rocky face, with a drop of nearly 10 meters from the next fault. If you want to cross this stone, you can only go alone. At this time, the wind on the mountain is very strong, and walking on such a smooth back is very likely to be blown down by the wind.

It's still Gong Ling who takes the lead. Gong Ling tied the rope on his body very tightly, but he untied the connection with Zhang Rongrong in the back. He handed the rope to Yang Xi and asked him to hold the other end of the rope. Gong Ling said: "I'll go over and explore the way first, you wait a while." If I fall, you remember to pull me up. With the iron lock, he carefully walked up the smooth stone back. One step, two steps, three steps, Gong Ling walked very slowly, and the wind was blowing. Zhang Rongrong and the people watching from the back had their hearts fluttering, like a fish out of the water, and they were about to suffocate if they were not careful.

Suddenly, Gong Ling's left foot slipped, his body shook a little, his left foot was forked, his legs straddled the back of the stone, and his two hands directly hugged the stone. But not a second. Because of the unstable center of gravity, Gong Ling quickly slid to the left. His hand clawed violently, but there was no point of focus, he didn't grasp anything, and his nails were almost grinding and bleeding from the stone. He could only slide down the crack in the stone, and he was about to slide straight towards the fault with a drop of 10 meters.

said that it was too late, and Yang Xi and Feng Hui quickly tightened the rope. However, they were still pulled forward by Gong Ling's suddenly descending gravity, and they almost missed the tail of the rope. Zhang Rongrong and Liu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the four of them pulled Gong Ling up from below little by little like a collective tug-of-war. Fortunately, there was no danger, and Gong Ling was finally pulled up.

"No, this stone spine is too slippery, there is no rope to support it, and the wind is very strong, so it is difficult to walk smoothly." Gong Ling explained after coming up.

"So what to do? It's the only way up the mountain. Feng Hui began to scratch his ears and cheeks. Seeing that the top of the mountain was almost there, I didn't expect to encounter such a difficult road. Liu Yan said depressedly.

Yang Xi said: "I'm thin, I'll try." So Yang Xi began to walk cautiously forward alone. He took two steps, then suddenly crouched down, moving forward little by little. "Yang Xi did the right thing, because he is taller and thinner, and the wind will blow him more unstable, squatting can lower the center of gravity a little, but squatting is more physically demanding, I am afraid that his legs are sore and he will not be able to hold on for long." Sure enough, before Gong Ling's words were over, he saw that Yang Xi was already lying on the back of the stone.

Now Yang Xi is in a very embarrassing situation, he can't move forward or retreat, and he is stuck in 1/3 of the road. "What can I do? Yang Xi, you see if you can climb forward, if you don't have enough physical strength, you can climb back and retreat. ”

Yang Xi struggled for a long time, and finally he felt that the road ahead was still very long, so he had to retreat step by step. Finally, with his efforts, he retreated to the starting point, and Yang Xi also ended in failure.

It's been more than two days, and there's not much time left until the final completion of the mission. They don't have much time to spend here. What to do?

"Can we find a way to use external forces? When Gong Ling went over just now, he said that there was no point of borrowing, and there was no rope on both sides to grab. So if we artificially create a rope, can we pass it? Zhang Rongrong put forward her own ideas.

"I also thought about this way just now, I wanted to throw the rope over first, but the distance is too far, I have seen it, I can't throw it, and I can't fix it." Gong Ling analyzed.

"We can't throw ropes over, but we can make a relatively hard rope, which is actually a stiff ladder. We went to cut down two trees, just like making a ladder. You don't need to be 10 meters long, we only need to do half of it. When we climb to the middle with the help of this ladder, we can find a way to move this ladder in front of us, and that is not just the right time to take the next section. With the ladder that borrows the strength, I think we can move it slowly while lying on the rock. Zhang Rongrong continued to analyze.

Yang Xi also nodded this time and said that he could give it a try. So they went back and cut down two small trees about 5 meters high, and tied ropes in a staggered way between the trunks of the two trees. It was made into a simple ladder, because the rope was tied tightly, so this ladder was relatively strong.

So they started the third attempt, this time it was Gong Ling, and when he went up, he slowly pushed the ladder to the halfway point of the back of the stone back. Then he climbed up directly and climbed forward one block at a time. Because it is no longer so smooth, Gong Ling climbed relatively smoothly, the only thing that worries people is that this ladder will shake from side to side. In case the center of gravity is unstable somewhere, the whole ladder will fall.

Gong Ling climbed forward little by little, and he finally climbed to the end, but at this time, the most difficult place came. He needed to take the ladder from behind him over his entire length and reach out in front of him, all the way to the other end of the cliff. He first moved the ladder from under him to his back, as if he were carrying the ladder with two hands, and then stretched forward with all his might, skimming his body little by little, and sending the ladder forward. This requires a lot of arm strength, as the ladder made of two tree poles is still very heavy.

Gong Ling's hand was not particularly high, but the muscles of the two big arms were obviously bulging hard. Cold sweat was already oozing from his head, and his chest seemed to be filled with a balloon. The balloon was slowly blown up from a young age, and it continued to bulge his entire ribcage. He felt that as big his balloon was, as strong as he was, and how far the ladder could be lifted. Not only did he have to lift the ladder, but he also had to keep it balanced so that it was stuck right on his back.

Zhang Rongrong and the others watched as the ladder slowly stretched into the distance, and finally the last end of the ladder crossed the top of Gong Ling's head. The second half was finally connected. Gong Ling gasped for breath like a dehydrated fish, and he felt that the clapping balloon in his chest was finally about to explode. He also allowed the balloon to explode, and when it was done, he had to blow another balloon to help him complete the second half of the journey. After the dehydrated fish finally recovered a little, it continued to use both hands and feet, and climbed forward on the ladder. About ten minutes passed. After completing the mission with the lattice of the last ladder, Gong Ling went to the opposite bank.

Zhang Rongrong and the others stood on this side of the stone and cheered, and Gong Ling finally passed. Gong Ling fixed the rope and iron lock on the ground, and Yang Xi and Feng Hui also fixed the other end of the rope on the ground on the side of the stone ridge. This way there is a rope that connects the two sides of the ridge, and the others have at least one gripper when crossing the ridge. Although the wind is still strong, there is much less danger. The five of them walked through the stone ridge in turn, and finally reached the top of the mountain.

Reaching the top of the mountain means that they have completed their second mission. They finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground to rest.

Their bracelets also rang in real time: "Congratulations on making it here." You have experienced pain and suffering along the way, but you have gained friendship and growth. Your ingenuity also made you stand out from the group, and all 5 of them made it to the top. We designed this game to train your perseverance, make you stronger, be able to cope with all kinds of hardships, hone your will and perseverance, and also hope that you can become excellent top talents in society. ”

"I know you are very hard and tired, but this is what you must experience in life, and only by bearing these can you live a better life in society. Here's another challenge for you. All you have to do is jump down here, and you'll get the treasure map I mentioned earlier, and you'll be eligible to enter the second level. Of course, it is not to say that you will be suicidal cliff jumping, but you will be provided with a parachute bag and a glider, which you can freely combine and match to complete this task. This task will test your ability to learn and your courage. ”

"To reward you, there will be some elixirs in the bracelet to treat your injuries." Zhang Rongrong was happy, the navigator was still very good, knowing that she was injured, he sent her medicine, the previous pill only helped her heal her internal injuries, and this time it was for external injuries. She quickly took the medicine, and her injured arm recovered quickly with a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and she was soon alive and well.
