Chapter 152 The Apple Tree



Ning Caichen led the team in another direction.

Time passed slowly, and the group of people climbed to the top of another mountain.

The sun had not yet risen, but the sky was already glowing white, and visibility was becoming increasingly clear.

Only when his feet touched the soft grass did Chu Tianling dare to be sure that this mountain was probably not the good place the soldier had described.

Although he had already made up his mind, he didn't say it aloud.

As Ning Caichen raised his hand, he arrived at the location of the apple tree and took a look at the spot.

At the foot of the high cliff, a small, protruding platform appeared, and a very lush apple tree grew wildly in that tiny spot.

Shen Jiaojiao and her group were located at the top of the mountain, and the apple tree was in a particularly tricky position, about 10 meters away from the top.

The apples' skins were tinged with a tempting red, and a gentle breeze carried their enticing sweet fragrance.

Everyone was starving, and the aroma made their mouths water.

"Hey! We can't eat them just by looking at them. By the way, how did you pick them?" Shen Jiaojiao suddenly thought.

Ning Caichen pointed to his dirty clothes and pants: "I just jumped down to pick them off!"

"You're such a tiger!" Shen Jiaojiao stared longingly at the fruit trees below.

Zhou Tianqi looked at the fruit tree, starving and dizzy, and lay down on the ground, reaching down to touch it.

That's way out of my reach!

"Ah! So hungry! So hungry! So hungry!" Zhou Tianqi stared at the fruit below, swallowing hard.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I'll go down and pick some fruit right away. You guys wait for me up here!" Ning Caichen had eaten an apple earlier, so he was one of the more energetic people among them.

He clung to the rock face like a monkey and climbed down quickly.

Just as we were about to reach Pingguo Tree, a small snake with patterns suddenly darted out from the side.

The snake, with its long, slender body, slithered towards Ning Caichen, its heart spitting out.

Ning Caichen hadn't noticed yet and was still climbing down.

Chu Tianling and the others could see clearly from above that if this continued, they would be directly confronting the snake!

Something's not right.

"Ning Caichen! Don't move! Come back! Come back quickly."

Shen Jiaojiao shouted.

Ning Caichen looked up in confusion and saw that all the heads above were looking at him, waving their hands and beckoning to him.

He flashed a big smile, his white teeth seemingly shining.

Chu Tianling saw that he didn't seem to care at all, clearly not understanding what was going on.

I got up and looked around, and finally saw several stones of different sizes on the ground.

He didn't care about anything else, picked up a stone, aimed it at his hand, and quickly threw it towards the snake.

Ning Caichen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he realized the stone wasn't aimed at him.

Then!

His ankle felt a tingling sensation, and when he looked down...

Good heavens, he finally understood. The person who had been waving and throwing stones at the snake earlier had actually seen it before.

It's too late to say anything now; the snake has bitten his foot.

What should we do?

His mind went blank for a second, and he vaguely remembered a doctor saying that the venom of each snake is different, and it is best to carry the snake with you if you are bitten.

Thinking of this, while the snake's mouth was still on his foot, he used one hand to grab the snake by its vital spot and wouldn't let go.

The snake struggled a few times and then stopped breathing.

At this moment, Ning Caichen also felt his body go limp and he had no strength left. He only remembered that he could not lose the snake in his hand, so he held on tightly.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Tianqi was startled and, without saying a word, began to slowly climb down, mimicking Ning Caichen's earlier actions.

Wow, I never thought I could climb a cliff! It's not that hard!

The people on the mountaintop stared straight at him, not daring to breathe.

Ning Caichen was moved to see people coming down from above. It seemed he was saved. That was wonderful.

He simply lay still and waited, forcing himself to stay awake.

Zhou Tianqi glanced at the distance, then lowered his head and retreated step by step, safely.

Just as he was about to arrive, he suddenly felt something soft under his feet and turned his head curiously.

He met Ning Caichen's pale face, who was glaring at him with his teeth bared and his eyes practically spitting fire.

I looked down at my feet, and oh no!

His foot landed perfectly on Ning Caichen's only hand that was holding onto the ground.

Ning Caichen was holding the snake tightly in one hand, while Zhou Tianqi was stepping on his other hand.

He stammered, "Let go... If you want me dead, just say so..."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

Zhou Tianqi frantically lifted his foot, and as soon as he did, he lost his balance and swayed to one side.

Ning Caichen felt a sudden lightness in his hand, and his heart clenched with pain. He thought to himself: Damn it, it looks like I'm going to die here today!

"Alright, Tianqi, you go up. I'm afraid I can't make it."

"Okay! I'm going up now!"

Ning Caichen choked for a moment. How come this is not what I expected?

He looked up at Zhou Tianqi and found that the other man wasn't much better off than him.

His hands were on the left, and his feet were only on the right, so he was leaning to one side.

"To be honest, I've discovered I can't log in anymore! Haha."

"What the hell! Originally, only one of us was supposed to die, but now that you insisted on coming down, we're both going to die together!"

"Sigh, I was only trying to save you! And you're the one who's cursing me now."

"I feel like my arms are about to give out, it's all because of the stomping you just did!"

"Hehe! What should we do then?"

"Why don't we go down? The apple tree is only a meter away. Let's eat our fill first and then die."

"You still have the appetite? I can't. You can have all of this. You can eat until you're stuffed."

After saying these words, Ning Caichen had exhausted all his strength, and he let go and fell down.

"don't want!"

The people above were so frightened that they screamed.

Fortunately, he fell right where Apple said, and Ning Caichen got stuck in a tree branch.

He unconsciously clenched the snake in his hand.

Zhou Tianqi took a look and exclaimed, "Wow, not bad!"

Such an operation is unheard of.

So he turned his gaze to the apple tree. It wasn't very high, only two meters, so if he fell, the tree would be able to catch him.

Once you fall down into the tree and have a full stomach, you'll have the strength to carry someone back up.

Having made his decision, he felt better, took the initiative to let go, and jumped down towards the apple tree.

That's right, he jumped on his own initiative!

"ah!!!"

The higher-ups had no idea what he was thinking; they were just terrified when they saw him suddenly jump off the cliff.

Zhou Tianqi's idea is good.

However, the reality differed somewhat from his expectations.

He did indeed fall into the apple tree, and it just so happened that he landed on Ning Caichen.

Then, influenced by him, the two broke through the branches and rolled perfectly down the cliff through the apple tree!

"Go to hell!" Ning Caichen roared with all his might.
