Chapter 137 Canghu
Just when Zhang Wei and the others arrived at the foot of the mountain, the boys began to choose their own paths to climb, and their movements were quite fast.
After all, everyone knows that the girls are right behind them, and it would be embarrassing if they catch up with them.
"I think we still have to choose the Canghu Path. If all the girls choose the Canghu Path, won't we be inferior to them?"
"It's better to take the wildcat path and climb up quickly!"
"That's right, that's right." Art agreed very much. In order to attract more allies, he continued:
"Even if we choose the Cangswan Trail, it's not as fast as the Wildcat Trail. If the girls pass us by using the Wildcat Trail, they'll still laugh at us for being behind us!"
"Choose Wildcat! Choose Wildcat!" He was shouting excitedly when Samuel patted him on the back of the head.
"Instead of shouting here, you might as well save your energy and climb quickly."
Oroi also shook his head and looked at him: "How can you be sure that the speed of our Canghu route is not good enough? I think it's you who is not good enough."
After saying that, he pointed at a boy who had already rushed onto the Canghu path.
The boy moved quickly and powerfully, climbing nearly ten meters in just a few seconds, leaving Art stunned.
If Zhang Wei were here, he would be able to see Namir showing off his skills at this moment.
But she was no less impressive. When the team leader brought them to the trail entrance, she saw the neatly arranged hiking bags left behind by the boys.
"Let's get started, girls! If you're fast, you might be able to catch up with the boys. That's something to be happy about!"
The boys who walked first were indeed afraid of being caught up by the girls, but they also had to save face. Except for a few people like Art who chose the wild cat path, most of the others chose the swan path.
After all, they are all passionate young people. No one thinks that they are worse than others, and they don’t think that the girls who start ten minutes later can catch up with them.
Although they were chased hard all the way, the boys behind them had to pull hard to prevent them from falling behind and joining the girls. After all, this was not just a matter of one boy's reputation, but the reputation of all the boys in Devon.
Zhang Wei looked at the height and saw that it was not as high as the climbing wall in the backyard of her home in New York, so she decisively chose the Canghu path.
Although I don’t know what the team leader didn’t finish saying, survival of the strong is an eternal law.
The school did not act recklessly. They provided them with gloves, safety ropes and helmets. There was also a net bag one meter above the ground, so it was not dangerous.
Zhang Wei has overcome her fear of heights through training and daily activities in recent years, so a height of only five or six meters is no big deal for her.
After putting her bag in an easy-to-find spot, she donned her gear and began climbing.
As soon as she stepped on it, Zhang Wei felt that this was more difficult than rock climbing, because the rope was relatively soft and it would shake when she stepped on it. This was when she was the only one on the Canghu trail.
If a few more people went up, the rope would shake even more violently, so she took advantage of the fact that there were still few people around and quickly climbed forward with all her might.
After she passed a big tree, the rope shook violently. Zhang Wei looked back and saw Alia had also come up. She stopped looking and concentrated on climbing forward.
Then there was Queenie, and three, four, and five others followed suit, choosing the Canggu Path.
Zhang Wei also discovered the trick. As long as she surpassed the person behind her by at least one tree, the person behind her would not affect her climbing.
Because there is a knot on the tree about every ten meters, as long as she leaves the knot before the people behind catch up, other people will not affect her.
On the contrary, if Alia does not keep a distance from the people behind her, the shaking caused by five or six people on the same knot will seriously affect her forward speed.
So when she discovered this, she climbed forward with all her might, trying to create some distance between herself and the people behind her. However, everyone was chasing her very closely for a while, and they were getting farther and farther away from Zhang Wei in front of them.
Zhang Wei slowed down after gradually widening the gap with them. She was also tired. The rope was rough and hard, and she could feel the burning sensation on her palms even through her gloves.
The strength in her arms was slowly fading away, and when she turned around and could only see the shadows of her classmates behind her, she was no longer so anxious, and her feet felt a little light.
She counted the knots in her mind. She hadn't even climbed halfway yet, and she felt the second half would be more difficult for her.
Because they are not only climbing forward, but also climbing upwards, they are climbing a mountain.
Normally walking up the mountain is tiring enough, let alone climbing the ropes.
However, there is also an advantage for Zhang Wei, that is, she can see beautiful scenery at any time when looking down. After all, she is at least five meters above the ground.
Although it is said to be five meters, in fact many sections are not even that high, because some trees are too short to be suitable for tying ropes. Sometimes it is almost like climbing on the top of a tree. This is the origin of the swan path - only birds climb the mountain from such a high place.
Now Zhang Wei was so tired that she was out of breath, and another team was getting closer and closer to her.
It was the girls who chose the Wild Cat Path. They began to overtake the team taking the Red Fox Path, and then slowly overtook Alia and the others.
Although only some girls who were less confident in their physical strength chose the wild cat trail, and they fell behind at the beginning, because their rope trail was the flattest, they were able to maintain their speed forward.
Now there are two or three people following closely behind Zhang Wei. Seeing that there is no one in front of Zhang Wei, they are planning to climb to the first place in one go!
Even if they chose the easiest wildcat path, they were the fastest! The first one is always remembered.
Zhang Wei also noticed the girl who was less than two trees away from her. She didn't want to simply give up the first place to others. If she wanted to do it, she had to be the strongest!
She took a deep breath and slowly increased the span of her arms holding the rope. Her steps became longer and longer, and her speed gradually increased.
But the people below were not to be outdone. When they were close, Zhang Wei could even hear their breathing.
Zhang Wei was not in a hurry. She believed that the people below had as little strength left as she did.
Sure enough, they entered a tense stage at this time. They gritted their teeth and kept almost the same speed as Zhang Wei. The girl in the front had already flushed red, her hair was wet with sweat, but her heart was nervously sprinting at this moment:
Almost there… 3 meters… 2 meters… 1 meter left!
Huh—she was about to surpass the outstanding person who ranked first. She seemed to hear the praise from all her classmates: You defeated the superior person who was high above you, Merlin Winston, you are awesome!
A smile had already appeared on her face, but the next second, something unexpected happened...
