Lu Xuan found a piece of hemp rope from Shen Keyin's bag and handed it to Taylor.
"Taylor, tie the hemp rope around yourself and go over first. Then find a sturdy tree and tie the rope around it. I'll tie it around my side as well, as an extra safety measure. Alternatively, you can use the rope to send these supplies over first. Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
At that moment, not to mention Chen Keyin, even Lu Xuan himself felt a little nervous when he saw the single-plank bridge. If he really didn't take any safety measures and just walked across it, it would be a bit too disregarding of his own life, not to mention that he was carrying a lot of supplies with him.
"Brother Lu Xuan, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of it? Okay, I'll go first. You guys wait." Taylor agreed with Lu Xuan's suggestion. After tying the hemp rope around his waist, he began to prepare to cross the single-plank bridge.
"Taylor, take it easy."
The girls except Aphrodite were obviously still a little worried and kept telling Taylor to be careful, but Taylor himself looked calm.
Under the girls' astonished gazes, Taylor effortlessly stepped on the single-plank bridge and easily reached the other side of the ravine.
"Brother Lu Xuan, I've tied it up here, you guys can bring the things over first."
A moment later, Taylor's voice came from the other side of the ravine. It was obvious that the young man was ready.
Lu Xuan also found a relatively thick tree here, then tied a loop on the hemp rope, and slid the things that his group was carrying through the hemp rope.
Now that the goods have been delivered, the next step is people.
"Who's going first?"
Lu Xuan glanced at everyone. Except for Aphrodite who looked at him, the other three did not deliberately avoid his gaze.
"Aphrodite, you...go first."
Obviously, the three people in front of him were not mentally prepared yet, and Lu Xuan did not force them. He gave Aphrodite a gesture, indicating that she could go first.
Then the four people with Lu Xuan saw Aphrodite taking light steps, barely touching the hemp rope above her head, and successfully reached the other side.
"I have a piece of hemp rope here. I'll put a loop on one end of it, put it on this long rope, and tie the other end to you. That way, even if you slip, you won't be afraid. So... who's next?"
Lu Xuan knew that the remaining three were still preparing mentally, so he took another safety measure, but it seemed that it did not impress the three.
"If we keep wasting time like this, and Richard comes after us, it will be troublesome."
Seeing that he couldn't impress the other party, Lu Xuan had no choice but to appeal to his emotions and reason with him.
"Then... I'll go first..."
Leng Mengyao took a deep breath and set an example.
Seeing Leng Mengyao successfully walk on the single-plank bridge to reach the other side, Shen Keyin also became a little braver. Although these few steps were thrilling, she finally got through it without any danger.
Now only Lu Xuan and Yin Yichen are left on this side of the ravine.
"Hey, aren't you usually the first one to rush in? What's wrong today?"
Seeing Miss Yin's timid look, Lu Xuan was really puzzled.
"Lu...Lu Xuan, I'm a little afraid of heights..."
When Lu Xuan heard the girl calling out his full name, he instantly understood that the girl was really scared.
"It's okay. Don't look down. Just stare straight ahead. It's only about twenty steps. Just walk in a straight line normally. Don't be afraid. I'll tie it up tightly for you."
"Okay... okay, I'll try..."
Lu Xuan had to coax and deceive Yin Yichen before he was able to convince her.
The girl walked to the front of the ravine step by step with a cat-like gait. Suddenly she looked down and took several steps back.
Now, instead of making progress, we are regressing.
"Lu Xuan, this... I really don't dare..."
Seeing that the girl was really scared, Lu Xuan felt a headache. If he forced the girl to go over, Lu Xuan was really afraid that the girl would get stuck and cry for her parents. However, if he just stayed there, it would not be a good idea either.
"Yichen, it's okay. Don't look down. Just keep walking forward and take deep breaths as you walk."
"Yes, Yichen, just treat it as a normal walk."
Chen Keyin and Leng Mengyao on the opposite side were also cheering Yin Yichen on, but with little effect.
Yin Yichen was not pretending this time. Lu Xuan noticed that the girl's face had turned pale.
"Come on, get on, I'll carry you over."
Seeing this, Lu Xuan walked in front of Yin Yichen and squatted down.
"This... isn't good..."
Yin Yichen stared at Lu Xuan's broad back, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief. Clearly, she had never expected Lu Xuan to offer to carry her so readily. This sudden show of concern left her momentarily bewildered.
"Don't waste time, come up quickly while I still have some strength. Do you want to stay overnight? Think about Vivian..."
In order to avoid wasting time with this girl, Lu Xuan used both soft and hard tactics.
After hesitating for half a minute, Yin Yichen finally climbed onto Lu Xuan's back.
"Hold on tight, close your eyes, we're off."
Lu Xuan was afraid that the girl would be scared, so he asked Yin Yichen to close her eyes, and then he walked towards the other side step by step.
Crossing this narrow, lonely, single-plank bridge was a test of courage in itself, not to mention the abyss-like ravine silently pressing down on one's feet, chilling one's heart. Now, Lu Xuan not only had to face this difficulty alone, but also carried another weight on his back, which undoubtedly made the task doubly difficult.
