We looked around, and there was nothing but rocks, not even a tree, nothing usable at all. Ji Lin'an thought for a moment and then said, "Who has an unerring aim?"
An Xin raised his hand: "Me."
Ji Lin'an turned to look at me: "Su Su, do you have a rope in your space?"
I looked across at the other side, thought for a moment, and shook my head: "There's only ordinary rope, not long enough or strong enough."
Ji Lin'an nodded, took out two thick and long nylon ropes from the treasure box, wrapped one end of the rope into a loop and tied a knot, and handed it to An Xin: "An Xin, do you see that rock over there?"
We looked in the direction Ji Ling'an pointed. There was a slanted rock on the opposite side of the cliff. If we could lasso the rock with the rope, we could cross over.
An Xin nodded, and Ji Lin'an said, "Try using your 'Never Miss' skill and see if you can throw the rope over and lasso the stone."
An Xin nodded, and the people around him tactfully stepped aside to make room for him. An Xin stood still, grasped the knot of the rope, and swung it in the air like a cowboy. He leaned back and swung the rope hard, and it landed on the other side. It was very accurate; the knot of the rope landed right on the sharp corner of the rock, but the rope did not get caught on the rock.
Ji Lin'an helped An Xin pull the rope back. An Xin picked up the rope and threw it towards the opposite side again. This time, the rope caught the stone. An Xin immediately pulled hard a few times to fix the rope to the stone. Ji Lin'an then handed another rope to An Xin. An Xin mastered the strength and threw it once to secure the rope.
Ji Lin'an pulled two ropes and walked towards the rocks behind us. He found two adjacent rocks to secure the ropes, then turned around and took off his backpack: "Everyone has a backpack from the supplies, right? Xiao Dian, I'll have Sister Su Yi get you one later. There are buckles on the shoulder straps so you can open them. After you open both shoulder straps, go around the two ropes and buckle them. Then put the backpack on and fasten the front safety belt. This will prevent you from falling. Then we can move over little by little."
We all nodded. I went into my spatial dimension and got a backpack for Xiao Dian. Wu Feng rushed to the front and used Ji Lin'an's method to hang on the rope first. Wu Feng chose to lie flat, holding the two ropes tightly with both hands and his legs around them. He moved slowly towards the other side. Wu Feng was quite agile, but he was a little anxious. When he reached the middle of the rope, he was exhausted and his legs fell off the rope. Only his hands were still tightly wrapped around the rope. The backpack hanging on the rope looked like a clothes hanger, leaving him hanging on the rope.
Everyone anxiously encouraged Wufeng. Wufeng was quite heavy, and when he reached the middle of the rope, he caused the rope to drop quite a bit, making it difficult to move forward. The rope was in an uphill position. After resting for a minute, Wufeng grabbed the rope and swung his legs forward a few times. Once he was on the rope, he wrapped his legs around it again and continued forward.
This time, Wufeng slowed down his pace but increased the range of motion, which made him much more efficient. He reached the other side in no time. Wufeng climbed to the edge of the cliff, unpacked his backpack, turned over, stood up, and looked at us.
The second to set off was Wei Bin. Wei Bin is an athletic athlete. Instead of choosing the method of "no wind", he grabbed the rope with both hands and moved towards the other side by alternating between his hands and the rope in front of him. When he reached two-thirds of the way up the rope, Wei Bin also had some physical exhaustion. He lifted his legs and put them down in front of him, and continued to climb forward as if to propel himself. He soon reached the other side.
Ji Lin'an frowned throughout. Next, Ji Lin'an arranged for An Xin to go. Before An Xin set off, Ji Lin'an had me take out an ordinary rope from my space and put it in An Xin's backpack. Ji Lin'an held the rope with one end sticking out. An Xin was also an athletic person and chose to go in the same way as Wei Bin, which was very efficient. After An Xin went, Ji Lin'an told An Xin to take out the rope and hold it tightly. This time, Ji Lin'an let Song Yi go.
After I helped Song Yi secure herself to the rope, she initially chose the same method as An Xin and the others. Ji Lin'an tied the rope that An Xin was holding to Song Yi's waist, but after only two meters, Song Yi's hands began to tremble. When she tried to grab the rope again, her right hand slipped off, and her other hand also loosened. Song Yi immediately fell downwards. Fortunately, her backpack was hanging on the rope. Ji Lin'an immediately shouted, "An Xin, you and Wei Bin, pull Song Yi over!"
An Xin and Wei Bin gripped the rope tightly and pulled desperately to the other side. However, the part of the backpack that caught the rope was twisted, creating resistance, making it difficult for the two of them to pull. Fortunately, Song Yi was also light. Since the rope was tied around Song Yi's waist, when An Xin and Wei Bin pulled the rope, Song Yi's waist moved forward first. The resistance of the backpack made Song Yi's head and body parallel, with her legs hanging in the air. Her posture was very strange. After a while, Song Yi was pulled across by the two of them together.
Learning from Song Yi's experience, Ji Lin'an asked me to go next. After Song Yi went over, An Xin took the rope off Song Yi, tied it to a rock, and threw it towards us. Ji Lin'an threaded the rope through my armpits and tied it to my chest. I thought for a moment and decided not to thread the shoulder straps of the backpack through the two ropes, but instead threaded them all through one rope and secured them. I turned to the side and crawled on only one rope. With An Xin and the other pulling the rope, I moved much faster. My arms started to feel weak halfway through. When I had made it about two-thirds of the way across, I tried to slowly loosen my hands and hang them on the rope. The backpack shoulder straps were not twisted, so it was much easier for An Xin and the other to pull me across.
Following this method, Ji Lin'an helped the remaining people quickly cross to the other side, and he was the last to come over. When Ji Lin'an landed safely, he untied the rope, looked up, and his expression immediately froze, his pupils dilated, and we all turned to look at him instantly.
A group of people appeared behind us without us noticing. The woman standing at the very edge was our old acquaintance, Kaka. Next to Kaka stood a man with cold eyes, his arms crossed as he stared at us coldly. The other men were holding guns, and the leader of the group gave the order without saying a word: "Fire!"
