Chapter 140: Panic
Ma Shuo hurriedly raised his hands above his head and hugged the trunk of the small tree leaning against him with his backhand!
was shocked into a cold sweat, but Ma Shuo hugged the trunk with both hands, and it was difficult to even wipe the sweat on the tip of his forehead and nose!
Gasping for breath, less than a meter under his feet, the sound of dense scorpion carapaces colliding with each other came and went!
What to do?
Now I can't get my hands free, and it's very difficult to move my body! When my physical strength is completely exhausted, I'm afraid it's when I fall into the scorpion's nest with a broken branch!
I have never been so flustered, and my head is like an anthill, but I don't have even a complete idea!
Breathe in as much air as you can into your lungs, and spit it out quickly! Keep whispering in your mouth: "Calm down! Calm down! Now you must calm down, Ma Shuo!"
After repeating this for more than ten or twenty times, it can be regarded as barely being so flustered! If you want to be completely calm as usual, with the current mentality of Ma Shuo, it is tantamount to the longing and unreachability of looking at the moon in the water!
But this state is much better than it was just now, at least the brain has been able to regain the ability to think a little!
Immediately cross your legs under the branches, and hold the trunk with your ankles like scissors!
It's a bit of a thirst-quenching thing, and it's hardly good for reducing physical exertion, but at least it's less stressful now!
His eyes began to scan the surroundings continuously, hoping that he could find perhaps the only remaining glimmer of life for the present!
The small tree is about four or five meters tall, and the nearest other tree six or seven meters tall is about five meters!
Rope!
Ma Shuo suddenly thought that there was still a coil of rope hanging from his waist!
When they were separated from Old Man Liu and Ding San, Liu Linqian, as the master, instructed him to put anything else in the shack temporarily, only the rope must be always carried with him!
At that time, Ma Shuo was still a little unimpressed, thinking: There is no need to climb the steep wall and go down the cliff, why do you have to do this?
When the matter came to the end, I finally found out that it was originally used to save my life in the event of a sudden situation! Moreover, it seems that among all the things I brought myself, the rope is the only equipment that can be used to save my life at the moment!
At this time, Ma Shuo also had to secretly say that he was lucky! Thanks to the fact that when he put the other things back in the shack, he hesitated for a moment and chose to follow Old Man Liu's advice!
Otherwise!
Thinking of this, a drop of cold sweat slowly oozed from my brain!
Thank you, Old Man Liu! Thank you, Master! I listened to the nagging that I hated to the extreme, but now it really saved my life!
Gritting his teeth, his legs are tightly wrapped around the trunk of the tree! His left hand is also half-wrapped around the upper part of the trunk, and his fingers are hard to pick!
After barely adjusting the center of gravity of his body's strength, his right hand was slowly lowered and touched to the back of his waist! Holding the twenty or thirty-meter-long coiled rope in his hand, Ma Shuo put down a big stone in his heart!
At the same time, he hung the coiled rope around his neck and pulled out the rope! With his hands, mouth, teeth, and tongue at the same time, it was extremely difficult to make a horse rope buckle with a diameter of more than one meter!
The next thing to consider is how to put the buckle on the nearest tree without falling!
It's best to have the main trunk at the top of the tree, otherwise it may be extremely difficult for Ma Shuo to pull it to the point where it can swing over!
Once you fall to the ground because of failure, the consequences are completely unimaginable! The scorpion will definitely not be able to eat itself, but it will definitely use the poison needle behind the tail out of fear!
It only takes one needle to surely die, not to mention that there are thousands on the ground now! And there are many in the distance coming quickly, every time Ma Shuo looks at the ground around him, his scalp unconsciously tingles and explodes!
In order to prevent the thrown rope from being recovered, the teeth clenched the other side of the rope, and all the remaining ropes were held in the hand!
The leaves of the trees are not yet lush in spring, and most of the trees in Scorpion Mountain are still only sending out a few buds!
One centimeter, ten centimeters! As the body rises a little bit, the small tree also keeps shaking as the center of gravity rises!
But Ma Shuo had to continue to climb hard! Only by climbing as high as possible, even if the main trunk of the small tree drooped and bent, he could get a little closer to the other tree!
The current thoughtfulness is not the norm of Ma Shuo at all, this is completely a super-level intelligence that bursts out in desperation!
When life safety is threatened like never before, Ma Shuo's brain is spinning at an unimaginable speed!
I don't know if it's because of talent, Ma Shuo at this moment has no fear at all, and his heart is full of indescribable excitement!
There is only one thought in my head all the time: I am going to hang that tree with a rope, I am going to fly over, I am not going to die here, I am going to live!
I don't know if it's an accident or a coincidence, Ma Shuo, who has come to the upper part of the middle, is staring at the small tree opposite!
Suddenly, an instinctive sensation told him: Throw the rope!
The right hand behind him suddenly flung forward and then let go, and the coiled rope flew quickly towards the small tree not far away like a spirit snake spitting out a letter!
His teeth are always clenched on the other side of the rope, this is his only life-saving! If he loosens his teeth, he can jump directly and kill himself!
"Huhuhu!" After a long rope flew through the air, he steadily slipped in from the top of another tree! At the moment when the rope slid downward, Ma Shuo quickly closed the rope with one arm at the diameter of his elbow!
Finally, with a sudden pull, with a violent shaking of the small tree under him, the two scorpions that climbed the rope with the ground fell back to the ground, and Ma Shuo's face finally showed a long-lost smile!
Suddenly dizzy, Ma Shuo hurriedly hugged the trunk of the tree! Relaxed, only to realize that the weakness of the whole body caused by the overexcitement just now was so serious!
Ancestors bless! Master bless!
His limbs were like snakes clinging to the small tree under him, and Ma Shuo kept inhaling oxygen in order to make himself recover quickly!
Before the scorpion swarm below him had spread under the tree, Ma Shuo needed to hurry up and change his position! Otherwise, this might be the only chance to escape in a flash!
Hold only one part of your hand, and use the dagger to cut most of the remaining rope and hang it back to your waist!
I hope I won't use this method again!
After a short sigh and prayer in his heart, Ma Shuo took a deep breath and tried his best to tighten the rope in his hand!
When Ma Shuo was suspended in the air, the scorpion swarms that were originally concentrated around the small tree under him, as if they had received an order, all moved quickly with Ma Shuo to another tree!
Seeing this, Ma Shuo, who was still in mid-air, instinctively wanted to climb up along the rope, but after all, there was nowhere to borrow!
Almost at the same time that Ma Shuo swung over the tree, the scorpion swarm had already rushed under Ma Shuo's feet!
In the flash of light, Ma Shuo's desire to survive exploded again, and he hurriedly let go of his hands and leaped forward along the inertia!
Halfway through the flight and about to fall, Ma Shuo looked down, and in an instant, he was as weak as if he had been pulled out of his bones!
It turned out that at some point, the scorpion swarms on both sides had already surrounded them in a flanking attack! At this time, once he landed, Ma Shuo would just jump back into the encirclement again!
