Chapter Twenty-Six: Climbing Trees
Tree climbing is a technical job, although most people think that tree climbing is just a pastime in childhood, but climbing trees itself is actually difficult and dangerous, because the species and shape of trees may be different, so every tree climbing is a unique challenge.
Not only do we have to climb trees and cut bugs, but we also have to go up and down, left and right from branch to branch.
This level of tree climbing, it should be necessary to purchase basic climbing safety harnesses and ropes, fall stoppers and the like, I bought them, but they were all placed on the Prado parked in Wufu Village at the foot of Momo Mountain, Uncle Ghost knew that it was such a scene when he came in, and now he had to follow the two old drivers of Ribs and Dajiu to follow the example.
"Let's run together, and those who can't climb trees follow our movements, look carefully! There is only one chance to change the branches at a time, so don't fall down! "The black tiger claws on the ribs' hands are vigorous, tearing apart the huge horses that stand in the way.
After the ribs run to the right position, put away the tiger's claws, jump upward, grab the branch with both hands, shake the legs, put one leg on the branch, wrap your arms around the branch, and then throw the other dangling leg back, the biceps are forced, and the body is turned vigorously, and it climbs to the branch.
Da Jiu hooked the Miao Knife and the cold light flickered, and Ma Lu, who was more than a meter long, broke into several pieces and fell into the abyss from the branches, but the sound of the tide from Ma Lu's crawling around him became more and more intensive, and he and the ribs were covered with the liquid of the insects that had been killed.
"I'm up, you follow!" Dajiu hooked and shouted, his method of replacing the branch was different from the ribs, I saw him pull his body up in the jump, so that his forearms and biceps were attached to the branch, and he shook his body while pulling himself up, and put his elbows on the branch, his upper body muscle strength must be much stronger than mine, and he could directly pull his lower body to the branch, if it was me, he had to shake his body, use inertia, and hook the branch with his legs to go up.
Fortunately, the bark on the surface of this branch is cracked and uneven, which is particularly easy to climb and reduces some difficulty.
"Although the cold-faced monster is annoying, the way he climbs the tree is quite cool, Master Ma, I have to work hard, Ouyang, you go first, I'll follow." The stallion pulled out his knife and slashed at the giant horse and shouted.
"Good!" Now is not the time to be polite, I finally decided to learn the method of ribs, I jumped up hard, just put one leg up, from under the branch I was holding out a few horses, at me spit insect liquid, the gas mask suddenly blurred, I screamed bad, a hand lifted me directly up and pulled up the branch, I wiped the mask with my sleeve to see, it turned out that it was Dajiu hook and pulled me in time.
"Thanks, Brother Fierce General." I thank you from the bottom of my heart, death may not be terrible, but what is terrible is not knowing what will happen if you fall.
"I just don't want you to die early and affect the purpose of entering the ancient tomb this time." Taku said.
"Uncle Fat Intestine, I'm ready to go up too! Please help the queen. "The stallions are ready to come up, too.
"Just climb well, ponies." Fat intestine said.
"I sound so awkward, I'm jumping!" The stallion is the tallest of us, and his height of 185CM allows him to hold the trunk with both hands with a slight jump, and the way he comes up is more obscene, curled up with his legs, holding the trunk between his two knees, hunching his waist, clamping his hands forward, moving forward with both knees at the same time, although it is not very elegant, but it also quickly turns over.
The open-way five-person group is now only left with fat intestines and does not come up, "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! He threw out several throwing knives one after another, hitting the heads of several giant horses that were blocking the way with unmistakable accuracy, "Hey! He sprinted forward, then jumped up directly with a bouncing force that a normal fat man could not have, hugged the thick branch with both hands, and rubbed! Rub! rubbed his hands and feet together, and it turned over in an instant.
"Uncle Fat Intestine, you are really a ball lightning!" The stallion and I sighed.
"Hehe, little meaning." The fat intestine face is not red and breathless.
"The rest of the people in the back have followed, let's keep walking in the same formation." I said, looking diagonally behind me, there were already Miao knife hands beginning to climb.
"Little master, the next road is unknown, the two of us will open the way ahead, you can tell them the key to walking between the branches." The ribs showed black tiger claws, and Dajiu hooked up in front of him to start the insecticidal operation again.
"Remember, once you've climbed a strong branch, you need to look for the next branch and find a safe route to climb. To give you the most intuitive criterion - a branch with a diameter of less than 7.5cm can only bear the weight of one hand at most, and if it is stepped on, the sole of the foot should be perpendicular to the branch and step on the position where it is connected to the trunk. I said it out loud to make sure everyone could hear me.
"When climbing a tree without a rope, three of the limbs are firmly attached to the tree and are distributed in three different positions to form three fulcrums. If you put two feet on a branch, you can only see it as a fulcrum. Sitting or leaning against a tree is not a fulcrum, as it does not provide you with any support when other fulcrums go wrong. I pulled out my knife and slashed at Ma Lu who had fallen from the branches above, and continued.
"And I don't know if the branches are so thick on the next road, in case you encounter a relatively small branch, you must keep it upright as much as possible, your shoulders and legs should be in a line, holding the branch tightly can improve stability, if the branch is not particularly thick, you should use your thighs and arms to clamp it, not only to make it easier for you to reach out and grab other branches, but also to slow down the speed of falling in case of accidents." When I was a child, my grandfather spent a day explaining to me the essentials of tree climbing, and I remember it very well.
"Finally, in case someone gets lost while shuttling with everyone in the branches, you need to find your own way down, and meet the others below, all five of us have a signal flare on our bodies, and when the time comes, the scattered people will walk towards the place of the signal flare, and again, when you go down alone, you must avoid broken branches or dead branches, because dead wood may break suddenly, if the bark is very loose, and in the process of climbing, the bark is peeling, then it proves that the tree has decayed, Whatever method you use, get to the ground as soon as possible. "I said so much in one breath that I felt a lack of oxygen in my brain.
"Got it! Little Badai! The other Miao swordsmen had already climbed up, and they said in unison.
"Little Badai?" I asked blankly.
"Your grandmother used to be Badai, and Gerdi Badai is your grandmother's older brother, and he has no offspring, so that's what they call you." Tatsuku slashed several giant horses and said without looking back.
"Ouyang, you can, in addition to the Little Dragon King, you are still the little Badai of Apeng Valley!" The stallion teased.
I could only be speechless, and when I was about to pull out the Miao knife to help clear Ma Lu, I suddenly heard the fat intestine say anxiously: "Little master, the situation is a little bad." ”
