After getting off the car, Wen Qi stretched his body and looked up. There was a mountain so high that the top was as far as the eye could see. It was also the most famous Jiutian Mountain in City A. It was 2,130 meters high and the top of the mountain was already hidden in the clouds.

When she heard the height, Wen Qi couldn't help but get nervous, but considering that she seemed to have overcome her fear of heights when she left her soul before, she wanted to challenge herself this time to see if she could climb up without leaving her soul.

She searched for videos online. Jiutian Mountain is very steep. There are stairs only a little bit above the foot of the mountain. The slope of the stairs is very steep. To go up, one can only rely on simple wooden boards or iron nails. Basically, one will fall down if one slips. However, the safety measures are still good.

There is a rest area halfway up the mountain, as well as bungee jumping, cliff swings, zip lines, suspended plank roads and other adrenaline-pumping activities.

Wen Qi set a goal for herself to challenge at least one of them. Bungy jumping is not a bad idea, provided Feng Ce is with her.

"Let's go eat first." Feng Ce came down with his backpack, locked the car and walked into the scenic area. "There is a noodle restaurant with good reviews. After dinner, let's buy some energy bars and water. Then we'll set off. We'll stay at the hotel on the top of the mountain tonight and get up tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise."

Wen Qi nodded, his expression firm, "No problem! Have you booked the hotel?"

"It was booked a few days ago." Feng Ce held her hand, "You still have time to think about it over a meal. Once you get up the mountain, there is no turning back." The mountain path was steep and they could only move forward, not backward.

Wen Qi took a deep breath and said, "I'm here now."

Afraid that he would regret it, Wen Qi finished his meal and shopping as quickly as possible and went straight up the mountain, not giving himself any time to think.

The front is okay. Although the stairs are old and there are no guardrails on the side, it is surrounded by dense trees. As long as you don’t think about being on the mountain, it is actually the same as walking on a flat road.

Anyway, that's how Wen Qi felt. She and Feng Ce both had good stamina, so it took them just over half an hour to reach the point where they needed to climb with a rope.

It was only when Wen Qi got here that he discovered that there was a less steep route nearby. This climbing route was purely for those who were looking for excitement.

Feng Ce obviously knew this a long time ago, and he didn't look surprised at all. He said it again: "I'll give you one last chance to choose."

Looking at the path that normal people walked, Wen Qi's heart was beating like crazy, but! She was here to challenge herself! She gritted her teeth and walked directly to the staff, "Tie the rope for me."

The staff member glanced at her and pointed to the cabin next to her. "Go over there first to pay the money and sign the agreement."

Wen Qi was speechless. She understood signing the agreement. After all, there was a certain degree of danger and the scenic spot needed to be exempted from liability. But she didn’t understand paying the money. Wasn’t it like buying your own life with your own money?

No matter how much you complain, you still have to do what you have to do.

While signing the agreement, Wen Qi kept talking, "How long will it take to climb this route? Is there a place to rest in the middle? What if I don't want to climb halfway?"

The staff member had probably been asked too many questions, so he just threw over a large A4 card with the edges of the plastic cover curled up, on which were written the answers to all the questions Wen Qi had just asked.

The normal speed is two hours. If someone is afraid and travels slower, there is no telling how long they will hang on the cliff. There is a cave rest station in the middle where you can stop for a while, but you can only rest for 20 minutes at most.

Finally, it is specially marked in red bold: There is no return route!!! Please be fully prepared before going up the mountain!!!

Wen Qi curled his lips. Who was he trying to scare with such a big exclamation mark? He thought so in his heart, but his hand very honestly grabbed Feng Ce's sleeve, subconsciously gaining a sense of security.

Feng Ce held her hand, frowned slightly because of the low temperature, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, if you can't hold on halfway, I can carry you."

The staff nearby heard it and said quickly, "No, it's too dangerous. If you are really scared, don't go up. It will be uncomfortable for you and it will be difficult for us to do our work."

Wen Qi exhaled and inhaled slowly, and after a while he raised his head and said firmly: "I can go up."

Having said what needed to be said, the staff stopped trying to persuade them and began to tie equipment to Wen Qi and Feng Ce, comforting them as they did so: "Relax, our safety measures here are very good. As long as you don't do anything stupid, there is almost no danger. Here, put on your helmets and knee pads to prevent bumps and collisions."

Wen Qi cooperated quietly throughout the whole process, doing what she was supposed to do, with a calm expression, as if she had already calmed down. But only Feng Ce, who was familiar with her, knew that Wen Qi was extremely nervous, and that was why her response to the outside world was so simple.

Before actually going up the mountain, Feng Ce held her hand and did some warm-up exercises to prevent her from being too nervous and causing cramps in her hands and feet. He then helped her re-tie her hiking boots to make sure they were tight.

Wen Qi had no expression on his face: “…Yes.”

After completing a series of preparations, Wen Qi and Feng Ce received their number tags and climbed the mountain together under the guidance of the safety officer. There were eighteen other people in the same group. The rule here was to form a group of fifty people and set off together.

Wen Qi and Feng Ce were not the last to arrive. The numbers on their number plates were at the back of the middle, 2829.

Everyone lined up to hang the safety rope and followed the safety officer up the mountain one by one.

Wen Qi frowned and followed silently. At the beginning, there were stone steps going up at an almost 90-degree vertical angle. They looked like they were carved directly out of the mountain. There were no handrails, but there were several iron chains that could be used to gain leverage and stabilize the body.

Climbing up felt like climbing a ladder, because it was facing the mountain. Wen Qi looked down and saw Feng Ce, which didn't seem that difficult. But when he turned around, there was a cliff next to him.

Wen Qi grabbed the chain with his hand and tightened it unconsciously, causing the chain to creak.

Feng Ce heard it and quickly comforted him, "Qiqi, relax, don't use too much force on your hands. If the chain breaks, everyone on it will be taken away."

Wen Qi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Got it."

After moving the safety rope upwards a bit, Wen Qi continued to climb. He didn't know how long it had passed before he finally reached a flat area. Next to him was a wooden plank road that was less than 30 centimeters wide. It spiraled upwards and looked extremely dangerous.

There were already people screaming in the front, and the team's pace suddenly slowed down.

Wen Qi stepped onto the wooden board, looked down and suddenly felt dizzy. She subconsciously closed her eyes and leaned towards the mountain wall.

Feng Ce touched her face when he saw her like that, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Wen Qi shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't look down, give me a few seconds."

"Don't worry." Feng Ce asked, "Does it hurt to talk? Can I chat with you?"

Wen Qi said two seconds, so he opened his eyes and continued walking when the time was up. "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

Feng Ce asked: "When did you discover that you were afraid of heights?"

Wen Qi tried his best to focus on the wooden board. "The first time I tried to control the magic weapon to fly, it was smooth as ice when flying at low altitude, but it started to shake when the altitude exceeded three meters."

Feng Ce smiled and asked, "Is it natural?"

Wen Qi recalled and nodded, "That should be it." She relaxed a little and asked, "Don't you have anything to fear?"

"Not before." Feng Ce said without even thinking, "What I fear most now is being separated from you."

Wen Qi couldn't help but smile, "You seem to be in love right now. I'm almost feeling guilty."

Feng Ce also smiled, "I just shifted the focus of my life. Don't worry, even if I only work two hours a day, I can still take good care of you."

Wen Qi totally agrees.

As we were chatting, the wooden plank road suddenly came to an end, and the rest of the road turned into a whole stretch of steel bars.

Wen Qi: ...I don’t even know where to look.
