Qiao Xuejun became more confident after hearing what was said.
It seems so, her painting is still good. Look, Zhao Xian can understand it!
She looked at the map in her hand, wrote it down, and compared it with the map given by the system one by one. She roughly knew which direction to look for something.
After Qiao Xuejun made her plans, she asked Zhao Xian, "Where are you going?"
Zhao Xian pointed to a marked cave and said, "This cave is expected to be a medium-sized mutant nest."
Zhao Yun said: "We need to dig a hole in the ground to find a nest. I brought a drill."
Qiao Xuejun: "While you guys are digging the hole, I'll go to the nearby Cliff No. 2 to take a look. It's close here." She pointed to the point on the map.
It’s only a hundred meters away.
Zhao Xian took a look and said, "Okay."
Because they had a goal in mind, the group of people went straight up the mountain at a very fast speed. It was obviously not their first time here, and they had already made a path, but it was still hidden. Qiao Xuejun didn't see this path when he came last time.
The hunting team's target was the cave, and Qiao Xuejun followed them to the entrance of the cave, but she did not go in. She greeted Zhao Xian and said, "You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go take a look."
Zhao Xian: "Be careful, the intercom is on. I'll be there in a minute."
He still has some things to explain.
Qiao Xuejun agreed, took out the baton from his backpack, turned it into a walking stick, and went to the cliff on his own.
Last time, she saw a cliff here from the opposite hill, but she couldn't walk up because the mountain road was complicated. This time, it was much more convenient with the hunting team leading her.
In a few minutes, she followed the map and reached the edge of the cliff.
The cliff is thousands of feet high and the sky is dark. When people stand on the edge and look down, it seems like an endless abyss, making their legs go weak.
The illusion of weightlessness made Qiao Xuejun take a step back.
She kicked a small stone down with the tip of her shoe. After it rolled down with a crackling sound, there was no movement at all, as if it was being swallowed alive by the abyss.
Humans are naturally wary of such dangerous cliffs, and the sense of crisis deeply embedded in their genes is driving Qiao Xuejun to leave here quickly.
But she couldn't leave yet.
Qiao Xuejun took out a flashlight, turned the light mode on to a wide and far range, and walked to the edge of the cliff again.
Afraid of falling down accidentally, Qiao Xuejun slowly lay down on the edge of the cliff and stretched her head out. Being on all fours, she felt much safer.
The flashlight shone downwards, and immediately everything was illuminated clearly. Qiao Xuejun leaned over and looked towards the cliff.
System: "Host, I seem to have seen plant-like creatures."
The system undoubtedly sees further.
Qiao Xuejun asked hurriedly: "Where is it?"
The system said, "Do you see a tree trunk about fifty-five meters below?"
Qiao Xuejun took a closer look and saw that the branches growing out from the cliff were twisted and tangled, like a big drum.
System: "It's right below the tree trunk, host. Your current position is a blind spot. You need to move ten meters to the left or right and try to look down again."
After Qiao Xuejun got up, she walked some distance inside before moving to the left the ten meters the system said. She didn't stick her head out to look. She valued her life, so she lay down first and found the sense of security on all fours.
Just like before, she shone the light over there. As expected, from this angle she could see a plant growing under the tree trunk, in the blind spot before. It was just like what Uncle Zhang said, it looked like a bean, like a broad bean.
It is a short plant with bean pod-like shapes hanging on it and round leaves.
Qiao Xuejun measured the distance and said, "It's a bit deep, about fifty-five meters."
The climbing rope she bought was a standard single rope, the most common 60-meter model. If it was 55 meters, it would actually be a bit tight.
Because a certain length of rope is needed to tie it around her body, and a certain length must be left on the cliff, the length of rope she can flexibly use is only about 55 meters.
After confirming that she could give it a try, Qiao Xuejun stepped back from the edge of the cliff, sat up, unzipped her backpack, and took out the climbing rope. She didn't plan to act alone, but wanted to try it out first to see if the rope was really long enough.
At that time, she would have to ask Zhao Xian and others to help her hang her down.
"Teacher Qiao!"
Qiao Xuejun was about to take out the small shovel from her backpack when she suddenly heard Zhao Xian's voice.
She looked up and saw that it was Zhao Xian, who came with Ren Wangwang.
Seeing Qiao Xuejun, Zhao Xian quickened his pace.
Qiao Xuejun saw them, smiled, and pointed to the edge of the cliff: "There are indeed plants there. We are very lucky to have found them on the first cliff we came to today. But there is a high probability that there will be plants on other cliffs as well. It is about 55 meters below the cliff."
Zhao Xian glanced at the edge of the cliff, then at the rope that Qiao Xuejun took out of his backpack, and his voice became tense: "Are you ready to go down?"
Qiao Xuejun: "How is that possible? I can't get down alone. I'll wait for you to help me."
She handed the rope to Zhao Xian: "Lord, this is the rope I bought, 60 meters long, do you think I can use this to get down?"
She took out a safety belt and a helmet from her backpack. “And this.”
The climbing rope is equipped with a safety belt with a protective ring. A helmet to protect the head and a protector to control the rope on the cliff. Because I came out today to find the cliff, I brought all the climbing rope equipment I bought at the beginning. It's a complete set.
Zhao Xian looked at what she took out and said, "You've prepared quite a lot."
Qiao Xuejun: "Of course."
She values her life very much and would not act recklessly if she can.
Zhao Xian took the rope and looked at it, his expression softened slightly. This was a professional climbing rope, not some random hemp rope.
Zhao Xian rolled up the ropes one by one and said, "It can be used."
In fact, Qiao Xuejun was quite confident about what she bought. She bought it from a specialized outdoor store, so the quality was guaranteed. And Zhao Xian said it was okay, so she felt even more relieved.
She buckled the safety belt around her body first: "Okay, as long as it works. I'm going to go down and try it now."
After putting on the safety belt, she went to find a tree stump to install the protector.
Zhao Xian came over with a rope and told her, "You don't have to work hard. I'll go down and you wait up there."
Qiao Xuejun held her seat belt, adjusted her position, and looked at Zhao Xian blankly: "I'm ready."
Now all we have to do is tie the rope and we can go down.
Zhao Xian: "You have no experience, so you're prone to bumping your head."
Qiao Xuejun: "But I have a helmet."
Zhao Xian took a look at the helmet, which looked quite sturdy: "..."
Ren Wangwang chimed in, "Don't worry, Teacher Qiao. Our captain's rock climbing speed is the fastest in all military competitions. Just wait for him."
