Chapter 49 Saving People in Danger
The book continued from the above, and the last book said that the long-awaited group stage has finally begun. What was supposed to be a mechanic of the Wheel Knockout turned into a three-day survival journey. The various outer disciples need to try their best to pass the test from Xiao Wuxiang Mountain and reach the Qingxu Palace located at the top of the mountain. In the thousands of exhortations of Ye Yifan and Old Man Lin, Tianxin and several people embarked on a journey, and as they went deeper and deeper, Xiao Wuxiang Peak slowly unveiled its mysterious veil. As a result, the empty mountain is frightened by the night travel, the mystery gradually clears up, the road is long and thorny, and we work together to tide over the difficulties.
"How so?!" Tianxin looked at Zhao Nimei hanging upside down on the vine in surprise, her eyes were bleeding and she didn't move. Tianxin carefully observed Zhao Nimei through the gradually bright skylight, and saw her lips and teeth moving slightly, as if she was alive. "She's alive!"
"It's too far away from us to reach us!" Hongying swung in the direction of Zhao Nimei several times, but returned in vain.
"Don't act rashly, I'm afraid this vine won't be able to bear the weight of the two of you." Wei Jinhong carefully inspected the surrounding vines, although they seemed to be thick, but they were thin, the fibers of the vines were fragile and loosely dense, and they were definitely not suitable for bearing too much weight.
"How's that okay?" Huan Ting, although they all like Zhao Nimei, but after all, they are all classmates, and they don't have any deep hatred, if they don't save them when they see death, they really can't bear it.
"Tianxin, what do you think we should do?" Du Zhen lowered his head and asked Li Tianxin, who was climbing on the vines below.
"Safety first, let's climb up first, find a place to stay, and then think long-term. Looking at her situation, it will be fine for a while. Tianxin took her gaze back from Zhao Nimei's body, and she looked above the vines. See, there's a huge rock jutting out, let's go up first. ”
"Okay." The crowd continued to climb upward, and did not slack off for a moment. The morning breeze from the valley hit their faces, cold and biting, and their hands were slightly stiff.
"It's almost there, work harder!" Hongying's climbing speed was second only to Jinhong's, and she shouted down. "Don't worry, Jin Hong and I will go up to explore the truth first."
Soon Hongying and Wei Jinhong came to the protruding boulder that Tianxin said. With the strength of the rope swinging, Hongying turned over and climbed onto the stone. Wei Jinhong's skills seemed to be more skilled, one step ahead of Hongying, and stepped on. "Is this a cave?"
"I don't know if there's a way out inside." Wei Jinhong looked inside, there was no light in the cave, and it was pitch black.
"Tianxin, this is a cave where you can live!" Hongying lay on the stone and shouted downward.
"Okay, let's go up." Tianxin heard that there was a place to rest, and his tired face showed a little joy. After all, she and Huan Ting, Du Zhen, are not like Hongying and Jinhong, one of them is a child of the Red family who was born on the battlefield since childhood, and the other is a teenager from Miao Jiang who has different experience from his peers. No matter how good Tianxin's qualifications are, his physical strength and endurance are naturally not as good as them.
"I can't crawl, it's too cold." Huan Ting clutched the vines tightly, her little face pale.
"Huan Ting, hold on, it's almost up to the top!" Li Tianxin stopped his movements and encouraged Huan Ting, who was also a little exhausted.
"This is just the beginning, why did you give up?" Du Zhen suddenly became angry. "If you admit defeat here, you will marry that big fool after you go down the mountain, you won't forget, right?"
"I..." Huan Tingxiu's eyebrows furrowed, she gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand, and continued to climb. Yes, she doesn't want to listen to her father's at all, marry a big fool who is known to everyone in the town, maybe only if she climbs this little Wuxiang Peak and becomes the top five disciples in the group, will she have the opportunity to change her fate and no longer be at the mercy of anyone, including her and his unassertive father.
Finally, with the encouragement of everyone, the remaining three people also climbed the stone. Huan Ting was already physically exhausted, she leaned against the side of the cave, and Du Zhen was holding a water bladder to give her water. Li Tianxin stood on the edge of the stone and wanted to look down, and he couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, if he accidentally stumbled and fell just now, there would definitely be no bones left.
"Tianxin, what should we do next?" Hongying walked to Tianxin's side and looked down, and could vaguely see Zhao Nimei's figure.
"I remember there are ropes in the bag, let's take out the ropes and connect them." Li Tianxin retracted his gaze, put the trap behind him on the ground, and began to rummage. When everyone heard this, they also withdrew from their traps and found ropes. Soon they connected the five ropes and tied one end of the rope firmly to a stone pillar on the outside of the cave. Just as Tianxin was about to tie the rope around her waist, Hongying stopped her.
"I'm coming, you just consumed a lot of physical strength, and it's not appropriate to take any more risks." After finishing speaking, Hongying snatched the rope from Li Tianxin's hand and was about to tie it to her waist, but was held by a pair of big hands.
"With me here, when will it be your turn?" Wei Jinhong looked at Hongying with a serious expression. "When I was younger, I used to climb in the woods, and I knew that very well."
"Who could?" Hongying was a little unconvinced. "I was great when I was a kid."
"You two, obviously for each other's good, you have to quarrel every time, is this fun?" Li Tianxin looked at the two of them teasingly, and because of her ridicule, the tense atmosphere eased a lot.
"Li Tianxin!" Hongying and Wei Jinhong shouted in unison.
"I'll go down this time." Li Tianxin said as he took the rope from the hands of the two of them. "Among the three of us, only I have the lightest weight, and when I come up for a while, I have to count Zhao Nimei's weight. If Jinhong goes down, I'm afraid that there will be a sudden accident, and we won't be able to pull you. ”
"What about me? I'm a little heavier than you, but I'm lighter than him, right? Hong Ying retorted.
"Your skills are better than mine, what is the situation in this cave now, we don't know anything, in case there is any bull ghost snake god, I and Huan Ting together, they are not as good as you alone, if you rely on Jinhong alone, I am afraid that you will be powerless."
"But..."Hongying was about to retort, but was interrupted by Wei Jinhong.
"What you say is reasonable, be careful in everything, there are me and Hongying staring at it, don't worry." Wei Jinhong personally tied the rope to Li Tianxin's waist and checked it several times. "This knot is unique to our side, and it is used to catch the beasts that fall into the trap. The harder you break free, the tighter the rope becomes, and it will never fall apart. ”
"Tianxin, be careful!" Hongying's eyes were resolute, and she believed that with Li Tianxin's wit, she would be fine.
"Okay." Li Tianxin showed a good-looking smile, and she felt a warmth at this moment. Whether it is from Hongying or Wei Jinhong, these are her two irreplaceable friends in Qianshan.
Soon, the heart of heaven instantly touched the mountain wall and slowly descended. She tries her best to control the balance of her body, relying on the strength of her legs, every time her feet touch the rock wall, she uses the lifting force of the forefoot to support her body to reduce the burden on her upper limbs, and then uses her flexibility to avoid those uneven sharp convex stones in order to seek a strong support point. She doesn't try to be fast, she just wants every time she goes down, there is no risk.
"Tianxin, it's almost here, Zhao Nimei is not far behind you." Hongying lay on the stone and shouted to Tianxin.
Tianxin stopped descending and slowly turned around, her feet pressed against several raised rocks, her back pressed against the rock wall. What should she do next, waking up Zhao Nimei may frighten her, and if she suddenly struggles, she will fall, and things will be bigger. It seems that for now, she still knotted the rope reserved at her waist first, and when she approached Zhao Nimei, she put it on her first, so that even if she woke up and tossed blindly, she would not fall and die.
"Jinhong, I'm going to go over here, you look at the side of the rope, I'm afraid that Zhao Nimei will come in a while!" Li Tianxin shouted in the direction where Hongying and Wei Jinhong were.
"Good! Be careful! ”
Tianxin took a deep breath, her feet exerted force, and with the swing of the rope, she swung towards Zhao Nimei. Tianxin grasped the rope in one hand and grabbed a vine in the other. After she fixed her body, she put the rope she had prepared in advance on Zhao Nimei's body and tightened the lock. After making sure that it was reliable, Tianxin pulled out the hairpin on his head and cut off the vines that were wrapped around Zhao Nimei one by one, and Zhao Nimei was like a kite with a broken line, falling directly and taking Li Tianxin down.
"Heavenly Heart!" Hongying exclaimed. And Wei Jinhong had already dragged the rope in his hand, and for a while, the rope was tense and extremely terrifying. Huan Ting and Du Zhen also hurried to the edge of the stone cliff and looked down anxiously.
Fortunately, the rope was strong enough, and Tianxin's body was only affected by gravity, and it was fine. She adjusted her center of gravity and balance, slowly scooped Zhao Nimei up, carried her behind her, and tightened the rope again, so that Zhao Nimei was completely lying on her body, and then began to slowly climb up. Li Tianxin grabbed the raised part of the rock with her hand, picking at the edges, corners, crevices and edges of the rock, basically where she could exert force, she would not let go. Whenever she grasps the strong fulcrum at the top of the front, she will use her forearm to stick to the wall of the feather rock, and use her arms to move her body up or left and right, which is matched by the use of her feet and legs. Although it is a bit of a struggle, it has lightened a lot of burden.
"Tianxin, work hard!" Hongying and Huan Ting cheered Li Tianxin on it.
"Oh no, it's windy." Wei Jinhong looked up at the slightly swaying vines, and he lowered his head and shouted to Li Tianxin. "Keep your center of gravity close to the rock wall!"
Li Tianxin also felt the change in wind speed, and she followed Wei Jinhong's words, clinging to the rock wall, slowly climbing up like a gecko. Suddenly, she felt Zhao Nimei on her back hum softly, and her whole person shook slightly. "It's not good, Zhao Nimei is awake!"
