Chapter 290: A Foothold
"We need to climb up." Chen Qi pointed to the faintly darkened stone wall, on which a faint black hole could barely be seen. The entrance to the cave is not very high, but the stone wall that is almost perpendicular to the ground makes us feel like we are close to the entrance of the cave.
Chen Qi looked at the stone wall carefully, then put down his backpack and said, "I'll try it first." As he spoke, Chen Qi inserted his hand weapon into his waist, one hand looked for a place to focus on the stone wall, and then his fingers were like eagle claws into the stone wall. Immediately afterward, he stretched out his other hand, groping slowly above the higher stone wall, and after a moment he grabbed another point of focus, and then his arm slowly contracted, pulling his body higher. His toes were frozen on a few slightly raised stones, as if to relieve the burden on his arms, and the muscles of his arms swelled and trembled slightly against the rock wall.
This is a war of physical attrition, if you don't find the next focus point in a short period of time as soon as possible, you have to keep consuming physical strength at this height, but once the physical strength is exhausted or your feet slip, the next thing is a loss. And the higher you climb, the more serious the injury will be after falling, not only that, but even if you don't stop because you can't find the force point, you must also ensure that you have enough physical strength to climb to the next force point.
Chen Qi's voice echoed in the empty cave, he had climbed to half the height, but he stayed above this height because he couldn't find the focus point. Chen Qi let go of one hand, took out the hand weapon from his waist, and then raised the handle of the hand weapon and smashed it towards the higher rock wall, the crisp impact sound rhythmically hit the hard rock wall, and a few scattered debris rustled to the ground.
Chen Qi put the hand weapon back into his waist, and then pulled his fingers into the small hole that the hand weapon had smashed open. Chen Qi hummed hard, pulled himself up heavily, and then groped his feet for a foothold on the rock wall. Suddenly, Chen Qi let out a frightened snort, and with a soft sound, he fell down from the rock wall fiercely!
With a muffled sound of landing, Chen Qi fell to the ground and let out a painful groan, and Liang Cheng hurriedly ran over to support him. Chen Qi slowly sat up from the ground, waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and then he reached out and touched the back of his head. Suddenly, his body was slightly startled, and he stretched out the hand that was touching the back of his head in front of him, and then slowly unfolded.
A dark color was silently imprinted on the palm of his hand, and it was crimson blood.
"Are you alright?" Liang Cheng said as he reached out to touch the back of Chen Qi's head, he shook his head and pushed my hand away: "It's okay, this bit of blood will coagulate quickly." “
Liang Cheng looked at him with concern and nodded: "I'll give it a try." ”
Liang Cheng stood up and walked towards the rock wall as he spoke, Chen Qi shook his head as if he wanted to say something, but he sighed slightly and swallowed it back.
Liang Cheng carefully looked at the rock wall, and then began to climb upwards following the traces of Chen Qi's previous climbing. The cracks in the rock are shallow, and the part that you dig in with your fingertips can only use your fingertips to withstand the full gravity from your body. It didn't take long for Gao Liangcheng's fingers to start sore and tremble slightly. The legs are the most tiring, the protruding stones on the stone wall only provide a foothold of less than a centimeter, and the distance between the foothold and the point of finger force is not exactly the height of a person's height, and you must stand on your toes.
Liang Cheng's feet trembled violently, the huge pressure had made Liang Cheng unable to breathe freely, and gradually his brain began to lack oxygen, and the dreamlike feeling enveloped me again.
After a violent shaking of the toes, the muscles on the calf immediately contracted violently, and Liang Cheng secretly screamed that it was not good, and then let go of his hand and fell to the ground. The contraction of the calf made Liang Cheng's entire thigh extremely stretched, and a strong feeling of pain filled my entire thigh!
"Liang Cheng." Chen Qi immediately ran over and laid Liang Cheng flat on the ground, then straightened Liang Cheng's thighs with force, and pulled Liang Cheng's soles of his feet to the top of the soles of his feet with his hands. Liang Cheng gritted his teeth and hummed in pain, tears involuntarily sliding from the corners of his eyes.
After a long time, the thighs twitched slowly, and Liang Cheng and Chen Qi were already sweating profusely. Liang Cheng lay quietly on the cold ground, panting.
"You must be lacking in exercise, you actually have cramps at this time." Chen Qi said to Liang Cheng in the dark.
Liang Cheng snorted lightly and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Now, how to go." ”
"I don't know." Chen Qi replied.
"If Zhao Youyu is here, maybe there will be some way." Liang Cheng said with a wry smile, and a special starch taste in his mouth after cramping came to his heart.
It was already early in the morning, and the sleepiness after the exercise gradually surrounded Liang Cheng. "Did you hear anything?" Chen Qi said to Liang Cheng suddenly. Liang Cheng listened carefully, and the mournful howl of the wind seemed to be mixed with the sound of Si Xi Suo.
Liang Cheng sat up and followed the sound to look at the black hole in the rock wall. Chen Qi also slowly took out his weapon.
I saw a black thing slowly poking out of the hole in the ground, it was the head of a stout python! After the python's head poked out of the burrow, it slowly climbed down the rock wall! It seems that it has been found that Liang Cheng. Chen Qi slowly raised the hand weapon in his hand and aimed it at the giant python's head.
With a crisp sound, Chen Qi pulled the trigger! The ammunition pierced the python with a muffled sound! However, the python didn't seem to stop crawling, and was still crawling towards the ground unhurriedly!
"Liang Cheng quickly retreat!" Chen Qi's voice was a little frightened, he picked up his weapon and slowly retreated with Liang Cheng.
At this time, another dark shadow appeared in the cave, and then a dazzling light shone towards us!
"What kind of weapons to fire indiscriminately." Zhao Youyu lay at the entrance of the cave and looked at Liang Cheng and said.
I saw Zhao Youyu holding a flashlight in one hand and grasping the tail of the giant python in the hole with the other. The snake was a five-meter-long giant python that had been dealt with by Zhao You, and the tip of its slightly open mouth was dripping with dark red blood. There was a flower blooming on its skull, which was caused by a weapon that Chen Qi had just opened in the dark, and the straight body of the giant python hung limply on the rock wall.
"Zhao Youjiao, where have you been?" Liang Cheng looked at Zhao Youyan in surprise, the light of the flashlight reflected the beads of sweat on Zhao Youyan's head.
"Come up first." Zhao Youyan said coldly. So Liang Cheng and Chen Qi grabbed the body of the giant python and climbed into the cave in the rock wall in turn.
"When sliding down the passage with Liang Cheng, Liang Cheng deliberately slowed down himself with a dagger." Zhao Youyu said and took out the dagger, the bottom end of the dagger's grip had been ground out flat, revealing the uneven grinding surface, "If you encounter a deep hole in the future that you don't know whether it is dangerous or not, I advise you to slow down." ”
